But soon a person from the Southern Border ran over, gathering strength in their hand and pointing it at those few people.
The poisonous powder on their bodies was quickly absorbed, and their pain vanished. They got up and attacked Su Yunmo again.
Su Yunmo cursed inwardly.
Ye Ningyuan cried out in alarm, "Your things are fine against ordinary people, but against people from the Southern Border, aren't they like ants trying to shake a tree?"
The abilities of people from the Southern Border were varied, and it was hard to say which one might break the situation.
"Shut up! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll leave you here!" Su Yunmo was somewhat annoyed.
Ye Ningyuan immediately fell silent.
The surroundings were filled with the glint of swords and the flash of blades.
Leng Lingyun also felt a bit uneasy, "Do not kill them, I want them alive!"
They would be useless if they were dead.
Those people, obeying the order, immediately put down their weapons.
Just as they were about to capture the two women. xxsYiEr
Suddenly, a group of people rushed out from another street.
Ye Jingyu arrived with his men, their presence imposing.
Seeing the man, Su Yunmo felt a surge of joy.
But before she could speak, Ye Ningyuan jumped up and waved her hand, "Hey, we're here! Hurry up! If you don't hurry, there'll only be a puddle of meat paste left!"
Leng Lingyun's heart leaped. She hadn't expected Ye Jingyu to bring people so quickly. "Quick, everyone, speed up!"
Everyone increased their attack speed, but Ye Jingyu's men were faster. Before they could capture Su Yunmo, they were surrounded.
Seeing that the plan had failed, Leng Lingyun immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
"Kill! Leave none alive!" Ye Jingyu said word by word, his eyes bloodshot, a heavy killing intent emanating from him.
Qian Xue led his men charging forward, and the two sides quickly engaged in battle.
The little dumpling was also picked up by Ye Jingyu and placed in his arms.
A cold wind blew, and Su Yunmo shivered, instinctively shrinking into the man's embrace.
"Are you alright?" Ye Jingyu looked down at the small figure in his arms, his eyes filled with worry.
Su Yunmo shook her head.
Seeing that she was indeed unharmed, Ye Jingyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The street was still a scene of clashing swords and flashing blades.
Ye Jingyu didn't want the little girl to be exposed to the cold wind, so he carried her and walked towards the other side.
The royal guards who were fighting cleared out two people to right the overturned carriage.
Ye Jingyu then led her into the carriage to sit.
"Wait for me, I'm coming in too!" Ye Ningyuan crouched down and tried to climb into the carriage.
But she was quickly thrown off.
Someone pinned her down.
Ye Ningyuan's cheeks puffed up in anger, "Hey, hey, are you guys really that ungrateful? We faced danger together, and this has nothing to do with me! Ye Jingyu, you..."
'Bang!'
A dagger was thrown from inside the carriage, grazing Ye Ningyuan's face and embedding itself in the ground.
Ye Ningyuan looked at the dagger stuck in the stone, swallowed, and quietly crawled to the back of the carriage, hugging herself and daring not to make a sound.
But even though she was scared, it didn't stop her from pouting aggrievedly and muttering, "I just accidentally led Momo into their trap, so what? I also brought her out of Prince Kun's manor. Do you have to be so heartless?"
Qian Xue, who was fighting on the other side, heard her muttering to herself and secretly rolled his eyes.
You did save the person, but unfortunately, you just saved her from the wolf's den and sent her into the tiger's mouth.
The battle between the two sides lasted for about half an hour before it ended.
Qian Xue came to report the outcome of the battle, "More than ten died, three seriously injured, and the rest all escaped."
"Didn't you hear me say leave none alive?" a cold voice came from the carriage.
Qian Xue sighed inwardly, knowing that his master was truly angry today. He said "Yes" in a deep voice and gave a signal to his subordinates.
A subordinate stepped forward, and with a swift movement of his blade, three screams were heard, and the street finally fell silent.
Ye Jingyu's cold voice echoed again, "Go to the General's Manor."
Qian Xue dispatched a few people to stay and clean up the battlefield, then jumped onto the carriage and drove towards the General's Manor.
Ye Ningyuan sat in the back of the carriage, trembling.
Inside the carriage, Su Yunmo snuggled into Ye Jingyu's embrace, breathed on her palms, and rubbed her hands until they were completely warm.
Seeing her face flushed red from the cold, a trace of heartache flashed in Ye Jingyu's eyes. He pulled her closer and helped her rub her hands.
Su Yunmo, seeing his gloomy expression, raised an eyebrow, "Alright, what are you worried about? I'm fine, aren't I?"
But speaking of which, this man arrived quite quickly.
This road was miles away from Prince Yu's manor, and it was in the middle of the night. Logically, he shouldn't have been able to arrive so promptly.
Had he secretly been following her all along?
Ye Jingyu was annoyed and glared at her, his tone not very pleasant as he spoke, "What if you had been drugged and taken to the manor, would that have been fine?"
Su Yunmo was stunned, "How did you know?"
Ye Jingyu's gaze deepened, and he remained silent.
"Is Ye Jingkun doing this to lure you to Prince Kun's manor? Were your people ambushed?" Su Yunmo frowned, her expression turning somewhat grim.
That brat was truly something, his plans were so intricate.
It seemed that his visit to the palace today was for her. Even without Ye Jingguang's intervention, he would have found other ways to get her to his manor.
Thinking back to her embarrassing defeat today.
Su Yunmo gritted her teeth again.
No, perhaps no method was needed. That drug could be used anytime, anywhere, and she truly hadn't expected him to use such a low-quality knockout drug.
This was truly a case of being too clever for one's own good.
"None of that is important. What's important is that you must be careful when you interact with Ye Jingkun in the future. This time you were lucky, but next time, I cannot guarantee your safety."
Ye Jingyu's tone was somewhat heavy as he said this.
In reality, he hadn't gained the upper hand at Prince Kun's manor today. Firstly, their fight was a draw, and secondly, she was taken away by Ye Ningyuan.
"I know, there won't be a next time." Su Yunmo was also a little angry.
Ye Jingkun was indeed different from when they first met. At that time, the man was just a bit gloomy, but now his actions were also very sinister.
She paused, then looked up at Ye Jingyu again, "What did he say to you? Did you make some strange deal?"
Ye Jingyu's eyes flickered, and he turned his head away, "No."
Su Yunmo had known him for a while and naturally knew that when he looked like this, he was hiding something, and it seemed highly likely he was lying this time.
"You really made a deal? Does Consort Liang know you're this foolish?" Su Yunmo crossed her arms and frowned disapprovingly, "Why do you think Ye Jingkun will keep his word?"
Ye Jingyu remained silent. In fact, he wasn't sure if the other party would keep his word, but this was a duel between two men.
And such duels relied entirely on self-discipline.
Su Yunmo didn't think so. She didn't believe in such verbal agreements; they were all word games. "So what agreement did you make? Tell me."
Ye Jingyu said nothing, instead lowering his head to breathe on her hands, warming them.
Su Yunmo narrowed her eyes, staring at him intently, and suddenly said, "Don't tell me you two bet the throne and my marriage?"
