"My humble body cannot afford this title!" Pei Anlin sneered and stepped forward with his head held high, followed closely by several soldiers around him.

Several people blocked the door tightly. Chu Yunyi only brought a few confidants. They were like a few weak chickens in front of Pei Anlin and could not break through Pei Anlin's defense line.

Chu Yunyi had a livid face. No matter how deep the city was, no matter how well he cultivated, he could not calm down in such a situation.

Over the years, he has always been a lowly person in front of the eldest princess, turning a blind eye to a fiancée like Gu Ning who has a lot of misdeeds, all in order to marry Gu Ning and get the army in the hands of the eldest princess.

If he fails to complete the task this time, not only will his interests be harmed, but even his father... may not be able to get a good deal!

"I know my uncle feels sorry for Ning'er and has been wronged, but..." Chu Yunyi's voice suddenly dropped, "I and the woman in the house are indeed innocent!"

"Ning'er trusts me and will never listen to other people's slander! Please let me go in and explain it to Ning'er in person!"

Pei Anlin laughed angrily, his face already as dark as ink: "Are you threatening me?"

He pressed forward step by step, staring coldly at Chu Yunyi: "Since you know that Ning'er is deeply devoted to you, you shouldn't get involved with women! In the capital, you don't know Gu Qingqiu, and there is a flower girl in Jiangnan.

Come to our door, do you take our Pei family seriously?"

The veins on Chu Yunyi's clenched hands were clearly visible. As a prince, when had he ever suffered such injustice?

But soon, he calmed down again.

"Uncle, if you were thinking about Ning'er, you shouldn't have stopped me from seeing her. You love Ning'er so much and you definitely don't want to see her sad."

Chu Yunyi looked like he was thinking about Gu Ning, which made Pei Anlin feel angry.

“你真以为宁儿非你不嫁?”裴安临气得一张脸黑红交加,紧握的拳头咯咯作响,仿佛下一刻就要一拳揍上楚云逸的脸.

Chu Yunyi's expression remained unchanged, and his confidants quickly gathered around him.

"General Pei, the person standing in front of you is His Royal Highness Prince Duan!" One of them threatened, "If you take another step forward, you will offend the royal family..."

"Still not retreating!" Chu Yunyi shouted sternly, "How can you be disrespectful to your uncle?"

Pei Anlin smiled with unknown meaning: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang is so majestic! Our Pei family really cannot climb as big a tree as you!"

Chu Yunyi was anxious and was about to speak when he saw a person slowly coming down the stairs.

"Ning'er!" Chu Yunyi's eyes lit up. Taking advantage of Pei Anlin's unpreparedness, he strode through this layer of defense and walked to Gu Ning.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ning snorted coldly and threw away his hand: "A unruly and willful woman like me is not worthy of His Highness Prince Duan!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunyi didn't take it seriously.

All his worries just disappeared after seeing Gu Ning. He was convinced that Gu Ning loved him deeply and would never cancel the engagement with him.

Even if Pei Anlin and Princess Dachang blocked it, she would never agree to their decision.

Gu Ning raised her eyes to look at him with a half-smile, the sarcasm in her eyes was particularly obvious.

Chu Yunyi was shocked. When he wanted to investigate carefully, what he saw was Gu Ning's still clear eyes.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said softly: "Ning'er, don't get angry with me. I can explain to you clearly about that woman."

"Really?" Gu Ning folded her hands around her chest and looked at Chu Yunyi fiercely, "She said she has known you for more than ten years, and the jade pendant she gave me is also your personal belongings! Witness

All the physical evidence is there, how do you explain it?"

Chu Yunyi's handsome face was covered with a dark cloud. He slapped his hand heavily on the handrail of the stairs, and the handrail shattered in response.

His face was full of anger: "I didn't expect that my soft-heartedness back then would have left such a big hidden danger, and she almost alienated you and me!"

"Ning'er, she is a woman I rescued when I was passing by Jiangnan with my father on his southern tour twelve years ago." Chu Yunyi frowned and said, "I was a teenager at that time. After I rescued her,

So someone sent her a large sum of money and settled her in Yangzhou, and we have had no contact with her since."

"Then why did she find Jiang Ning again?" Gu Ning folded his arms and sneered, "Is it true that rescuing people is a lie, but keeping an outsider is true?"

"Ning'er!" Chu Yunyi quickly interrupted her, with firm eyes and an even more solemn tone, "Don't you believe me? I was only nine years old at the time, not to mention, there was no one else around me except you.

woman."

The coldness on Gu Ning's face melted away, which made Chu Yunyi feel relieved.

He held Gu Ning's hands in his hands, and every move he made was extremely gentle.

"I don't know where she got the news about me coming to Jiangning. She actually blocked me when I got off the boat yesterday and said a bunch of incomprehensible words. I saw that she was pitiful, so I gave her another sum of money. Who knew she

You actually took advantage of that moment to take away my personal jade pendant! Not only that, but you actually came after you!" Chu Yunyi looked regretful, "If I had known she had a vicious heart, I shouldn't have saved her!"

Gu Ning sneered in her heart, Chu Yunyi was trying to trick him as a fool! The excuses he came up with were full of loopholes!

Who doesn't know that His Highness Duan Wang is known for his ruthless methods. He is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others. Anyone who can take advantage of him will have more grass on his grave than anyone else.

How can he be soft to someone he hasn't seen for more than ten years? It's really ridiculous!

But at this moment, Gu Ning wanted to cooperate with his performance.

There is an emperor who wants to take away the military power of the eldest princess. Only if Chu Yunyi makes a mistake in front of everyone can she terminate the engagement naturally.

All her actions now are just to make Chu Yunyi confused and expose his loopholes.

Gu Ning gritted her teeth and hid the coldness on her face.

In Chu Yunyi's opinion, this was a sign that she was convinced.

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang said everything." Pei Anlin said sadly, "In my opinion, it would be more credible to let the woman go downstairs to confront His Highness Duan Wang face to face."

When Chu Yunyi heard this, not only did he not stop him, but he nodded repeatedly: "What my uncle said is absolutely true, Qianhua, why don't you hurry up and bring that woman down!"

Among the confidants around him, a short man came out and quickly responded: "Yes!"

The terrain on the fifth floor is enough to have a panoramic view of most of Jiangning City.

However, such a bustling scenery made Xu Qingqing feel anxious.

Just when she was halfway through her words, Gu Ning sent someone to capture her, but the person she arranged failed to send the message.

Trapped in this private room, news from the outside world could not be sent here, and she could not pass the news out. It was like being on an isolated island, at Gu Ning's discretion.

Is her plan about to fail?

She clenched her hands tightly and was about to stand up when a silver light flashed and a cold sword was placed across her neck.

The waves of chill emanating from the sword made Xu Qingqing sit upright immediately.

Feiyun couldn't help crying when she saw her falling into such a situation.

"Why are you crying?" Chunyu said coolly, "My county master is very kind-hearted. I only want to ask you a few words if I keep you here."

It was the first time that Xu Qingqing was in such a passive situation. She had martial arts skills, but she couldn't show them. She could only swallow her anger and said: "Is the county master afraid?"

Chunyu glanced at her and said pitifully: "My county master is not afraid of anything, so how can he be afraid of you, a little oiran?"

"Besides..." Chunyu protracted her voice and pointedly said, "As the county leader, squeezing you to death is as easy as squeezing an ant to death."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Before Chunyu could open the door, the door was pushed open with great force.

After seeing Chunyu, Qianhua's thin face quickly changed into a smile: "Miss Chunyu, the county master ordered me to take this woman down!"

Chunyu was about to release the person, but she thought of Gu Ning's instructions and immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously: "I can't hand over the person to you just because of your words. What if you kill someone and silence him?"

Qianhua smiled and explained: "Qiyun Tower is guarded inside and outside by the general's men. Even a small one with three heads and six arms will not be able to break through these defenses and reach the fifth floor. Don't worry."

"That's true." Chunyu nodded, put away the sword, and pushed Xu Qingqing out hard.

When she saw Qianhua, Xu Qingqing felt bursts of joy in her heart.

As soon as the door closed, she couldn't wait to ask: "Did His Highness ask you to come and save me?"

"Miss Qingqing, you have caused a lot of trouble for the master this time!" Qianhua's face was gloomy. As he walked forward, he ordered, "Whatever the master says later, you will agree with it. You must not make him angry again."

The county lord!"

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing's face turned cold and she immediately stood where she was, refusing to take another step forward.

Seeing this, Qianhua said "ouch" and advised: "Don't be stubborn! Your Highness has absolutely no love between men and women towards the county lord! Why should you be so grudged? Do you know that if you come to see the county lord today, you are almost in danger

It ruined His Highness’s plan!”

"If there was no love between men and women, why did Your Highness come to Jiangning from Yangzhou?" Xu Qingqing said every word as if it was squeezed out from between her teeth.

He took Gu Ning's attention to everything, and this was all seen and heard by his informants, and finally conveyed to him in detail!

Now he wants to break up with himself because of Gu Ning!

Thinking of this, Xu Qingqing felt sour in her heart.

The pain when I heard the news was not even one ten thousandth of what I felt now!

"I can't explain it to you at this moment, but don't worry, when His Highness gets out of this matter, he will explain it clearly to you!" Qianhua advised, "But please don't bother anymore! If

If the county lord really cancels the engagement with His Highness, then His Highness’s plans over the years will be in vain!"

Qianhua persuaded her so earnestly that her throat was almost dry and hoarse.

Seeing that he was about to reach the first floor, he hurriedly warned: "You will suffer a little injustice later. You will agree to whatever His Highness says, and you must not anger the county master again!"

Xu Qingqing's eyes were confused, and in her ears were the soft voices of women complaining, and the gentle voices of men flattering her.

The man's voice is something she is very familiar with!
