Chapter 180 - 35: Jinghong Spear! Be My Subordinate

"I’m really looking forward to the expression you’ll have then!"

No one knows.

What kind of expression would Ye Liuyun have when he’s surrounded by Yan Ze’s forces from Prince Jin, trapped in a desperate situation?

Just hoping he can remain as confident as he is now.

Thinking of this.

Qi Yuanliang grinned and strode away.

Just as Ye Liuyun had thought.

Qi Yuanliang was indeed here to scout, to familiarize himself with the surroundings, remember the routes in advance, so that when the time comes, the plan would be foolproof.

,,

For several consecutive days.

Prince Jin’s Mansion appeared extremely serene, as Princess Consort Jin’s birthday approached.

The atmosphere throughout the Royal City was visibly intensifying.

On this day.

Opening the door, Ye Liuyun saw Princess Consort Jin waiting outside.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Qu Sisi standing outside the door, Ye Liuyun’s eyes showed surprise, clearly not expecting her to be here.

"His Highness asked me to take you around Prince Jin City."

Seeing Ye Liuyun’s surprised expression, Qu Sisi smiled slightly.

Ye Liuyun knew that Yan Ze had intentions of using his consort to win people over.

However.

"Can’t believe you’re so obedient?"

If Qu Sisi was really that obedient, she wouldn’t have nearly starved herself to death previously.

"That depends on who it is."

Qu Sisi had been through many similar situations, but had never agreed to any.

She originally intended to refuse.

But thinking that this time it was Ye Liuyun, for some reason, Qu Sisi inexplicably agreed.

Meanwhile, Yan Ze thought his consort had come to grips with reality and knew to behave obediently.

"Alright, let’s go!"

Ye Liuyun didn’t refuse.

A beauty’s invitation, and besides, he didn’t really have anything to do at the moment.

,,

Sitting in the carriage, they left the mansion.

Ye Liuyun wasn’t familiar with the layout of the Royal City, so he naturally let Qu Sisi lead the way, going wherever.

"Does Prince Jin really trust me that much?"

After gazing at the scenery outside the carriage for a while, he retracted his gaze to look at Qu Sisi sitting beside him.

At this distance, he could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from Qu Sisi.

No man would allow his woman to get too close to another man, surely Yan Ze wouldn’t either. Qu Sisi getting involved with someone he wanted to recruit sounded unlikely.

"Prince Jin is a very arrogant man!"

Understanding Ye Liuyun’s surprise.

Qu Sisi shook her head slightly and explained.

She looked somewhat absentminded, staring at the scenery outside the carriage.

"He doesn’t trust you; he simply doesn’t believe you have the courage to actually do anything."

As she finished speaking.

Qu Sisi retracted her gaze and looked at Ye Liuyun.

That look seemed to be questioning Ye Liuyun if he really had the courage.

"Well, he surely misjudged."

Ye Liuyun might not be good at much, but he had courage.

He directly raised his hand and pulled Qu Sisi over.

And Qu Sisi didn’t resist but fell into Ye Liuyun’s embrace, whispering two words in his ear like a soft breeze.

"Help me!"

A beauty, though beautiful.

Wasn’t enough to make Ye Liuyun lose his mind completely.

"If you want me to help you kill Prince Jin, then forget it."

It’s not that he couldn’t; it just wasn’t worth it.

One Qu Sisi wasn’t worth such an act.

Due to the death of a friend, Qu Sisi wanted revenge on Prince Jin, which was understandable. However, if a prince were to die like this, the ensuing commotion would be significant.

Thinking it through carefully, it simply wasn’t worth it.

"I know."

Qu Sisi was smart and understood Ye Liuyun’s meaning.

"Prince Jin has been plotting for the throne for many years. I can tell you everything I know. You don’t need to kill Prince Jin; you just need to ruin all his years of planning, and that will be enough!"

Sometimes, living might be more painful than dying.

Watching everything you’ve plotted for years fall apart overnight.

If someone had a fragile mindset, they’d probably crumble instantly.

,,

This time, Ye Liuyun didn’t directly refuse.

How come this somewhat overlaps with his original plan?

Initially, Ye Liuyun planned to use Prince Jin against Qi Yuanliang, and when both were weakened, to take advantage of the chaos. It seemed quite simple indeed.

But on the surface.

Ye Liuyun still spoke in all seriousness.

"Princess, you’re putting me in a tough spot. I’m such an upright person, and I’m not good at scheming!"

,,

Qu Sisi wasn’t sure if Ye Liuyun was good at scheming or not.

But to call him upright?

Qu Sisi silently lowered her head to look at Ye Liuyun’s hand wrapped around her, which didn’t seem to complement the word ’upright’ at all.

"Ahem! Couldn’t help it!"

Noticing Qu Sisi’s gaze, Ye Liuyun awkwardly cleared his throat.

Retracted his hand.

"There are fewer people here; let’s get down for a stroll!"

Noticing the decreasing number of pedestrians outside the carriage, Ye Liuyun suggested.

Qu Sisi didn’t refuse either.

However, due to her appearance, Qu Sisi put on a veil before stepping down from the carriage.

Since childhood, because of her looks, Qu Sisi had encountered many troubles, so she had learned to wear a veil whenever she went out to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yet.

Even with her visage concealed.
