"I go."

A voice as clear as a silver bell rose up, gentle yet revealing unquestionable tenacity.

Mu Yao was wearing a magnolia white shirt, standing proudly like a winter plum blossom blooming in the wind, as cold as jade.

"Ayao, are you going to leave me?" Xu Qingcheng looked at her in shock with trembling lips.

Everyone present looked at this extremely delicate lady with complicated expressions.

Ye Qinghan kept a cold face and remained silent from beginning to end. His whole body felt as if it had been run over by a car and was in great pain, but he could not disobey the emperor's order.

There were less than eight hours left, and even if he had enough manpower, he didn't think he could protect Mu Yao and rescue Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng in such a short time. His father's attention to Wang Yanzhi was unexpected, and he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

In the past few hours, almost two-thirds of the guards were dispatched to search for the Bloodthirsty Pavilion's hideout. They seemed to have been prepared, and the few places that were destroyed were all deserted. The enemy was in the dark, and with eight hours left, he didn't think he could find any useful information.

"To untie the bell, we must find the person who tied it. We must rescue Lord Wang and Master Liu first." Mu Yao expressed her thoughts calmly.

The leader of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion wanted to marry her, not to kill her. After careful consideration, she didn't think there was anything to be afraid of. Instead, the initiative was in her hands. No love can break the relationship, and no ruthlessness can break the overall situation. She felt that she had a great chance of winning.

Shen Zhixue couldn't sit still any longer. How could she hand over the wife her son risked his life to protect? What about the emperor's order? Could the emperor be unreasonable and hand over his son and wife? She winked at her husband vigorously.

Helian Juzheng stroked her delicate hand and patted it twice, signaling her to be patient.

He cleared his throat and said, "Please allow me to have a few words on this matter."

Everyone's eyes fell on him. Liu Baichuan and Helian Juzheng were quite familiar with each other and asked, "Old friend, what do you think?"

Helian Juzheng's eyes were filled with laughter. He glanced at his wife and said in a loud voice, "Yaoyao is Helian Yun's fiancée. If you want to hand over the eldest daughter-in-law of the Helian family, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."

What! Except for Li Taifu and the people from Xu Mansion, everyone else was shocked and stunned.

Ye Qinghan's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light. He still hadn't accepted the fact that Mu Guinu and Xu Qingcheng were getting married, and now he had another rival. He unconsciously clenched the lid of the bowl in his hand and pressed it against the wall. If the Helian family married Mu Yao back, the road between him and her would be even more difficult.

Ye Lianhe's reaction was much calmer than Ye Qinghan's. He didn't think it was a bad thing. Since Lady Mu could marry Helian Yun again, she wouldn't refuse his proposal. He was a prince and held military power. He was better than Helian Yun in any way. But he had to be stationed at the border all year round. If he married Yaoyao, he had to find a way to get her to follow him.

"Master, is what Senior Helian said true?" Ye Qinghan confirmed with Li Changan.

Li Changan nodded and said, "That's right. Young Master Helian is a man of extraordinary character and appearance, and he and Yaoyao are in love with each other. They were originally scheduled to get married in three months.

The Xu family knew about this, but it was only mentioned lightly by Li Taifu. Xu Qingcheng was depressed and sat there with a cold face without saying a word. In Ye Qinghan's view, this was undoubtedly a disguised acquiescence.

Mutual affection? He suppressed the turmoil in his chest and asked Mu Yao again in a cold voice: "Ms. Mu is attracted to Mr. Helian?"

The atmosphere in the room became subtle. Seeing that the focus of the conversation had deviated, Liu Baichuan looked at Ye Qinghan with a meaningful look.

Mu Yao felt that Ye Qinghan's question to her was very abrupt, and said unhappily: "Your Highness, please come to the wedding to have a drink."

She had no time for anything else but to rescue Wang Yanzhi as soon as possible and then find a way to escape. That man was incredibly strong and terribly cruel. If she handed him over in time, Wang Yanzhi would really die.

The image of the ruthless man in the black hat and the cold blade that pierced Helian Yun's abdomen suddenly appeared in her mind. His ruthlessness without any hesitation or emotion made her shudder when she recalled it. Dealing with the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, there was no room for luck. People don't have two lives, she can't afford to gamble.

She stood up and looked at everyone, with a firm look in her eyes, and said with great certainty: "Time is running out, we can't look at the Bloodthirsty Pavilion with the eyes of ordinary people. If there is any hesitation or flaw, Lord Wang and Master Liu will be in danger. I believe you don't want them to be in trouble. The master of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion will not hurt me. After rescuing them, I will find a way to get out, or you can find a way to rescue me. I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me. After all, there is no better way now, right?"

Liu Baichuan was the first one to nod in agreement. Although he felt extremely ashamed to let a little girl face it alone, since it concerned the lives of his "two sons", he had to be selfish for once.

"Ms. Mu is righteous, Yanzhi and Huifeng are worthy!" He looked at Mu Yao carefully. The little girl's bearing and courage were a heroine, worthy of the title of the first lady of the world's number one manor. Regardless of whether his son could marry her or not, he liked this match!

Xu Qingcheng closed her eyes tightly, trying her best to endure the great grief, and said helplessly: "Ayao, where do you put me if you do this?"

Ye Jingshu and Xu Yuanming both looked at their son with sorrowful expressions but could not utter a word of comfort.

Master Li weighed his daughter's words in his mind. Yaoyao was always calm and smart, so he thought it was feasible. And there was no time to plan. They were facing killers who had licked blood countless times. These people lived in the dark all year round, and even if they were caught, they were just some small minions.

Then he spoke up for Yaoyao and said, "Qingcheng, Yaoyao always has her own considerations when doing things. You should believe in her ability."

In the eyes of Li Taifu, his position on this matter is different from that of the Xu family. Just as my daughter said, the leader of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion wants to marry her as his wife, so he will definitely not let my daughter get hurt. If they really marry the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, he thinks it is great. With such a strong husband as a backer, Emperor Qingyuan has to be tolerant. Yaoyao doesn't like being surrounded by too many people, and she believes that she can get what she wants in the future by accepting "Wuming".

This world is so realistic. Only men who are strong enough can protect their beautiful wives. He is not exaggerating. Xu Qingcheng, Helian Yun, Wang Yanzhi, and Liu Huifeng are not as strong as "Wuming" combined. He will have to give his daughter some more advice later.

Li Taifu's words were like a huge thunder, which made everyone unable to recover for a while. They never thought that Li Taifu would support Mu Yao's idea. Only Liu Baichuan blinked knowingly.

A bystander can see things more clearly. He and Li Changan became friends through painting, so he still understands Li Changan's way of dealing with people. He can see what this old man is thinking.

Li Changan ignored the colorful expressions of the crowd and said calmly: "Just listen to Yaoyao and save people first."

"Dad, how could you..." Xu Qingcheng couldn't utter the following words. For a moment, he suddenly found that the teacher had become strange and difficult to understand.

Master Li walked towards him, patted his arm heavily, and said with an extremely serious look: "Qingcheng, don't love too much. Everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme. You should think carefully about what your father said."

After the conversation, everyone prepared for tomorrow's rescue with their own thoughts.

Master Li called Mu Yao to the "Small Pond Garden" alone.

Before leaving, Mu Yao approached Helian Juzheng and Shen Zhixue and said, "Uncle and aunt, Helian Yun's injuries require rest. Please don't let him know about what happened today."

Shen Zhixue clenched her hand sadly and wanted to speak, but in the end she was speechless.

In the small pond garden

"Yaoyao, what are you going to do?" Li Changan wanted to hear his daughter's real plan.

"I'm going to poison them all to death." Mu Yao wasn't going to rest today. She was going to make the "Aconitum Pills" and catch them all quietly.

Upon hearing this, Master Li almost fell off his chair. He still overestimated his daughter's ability. Alas, what can he expect from an eighteen-year-old girl! No, Yaoyao can't go tomorrow! Thinking of this, he turned around and left impatiently.

"Dad, where are you going?" Mu Yao hadn't finished her words when she saw her father was leaving, interrupting her entire train of thought.

"Dad is going to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor. Dad would rather die than let you go to die."

"Did my daughter say something wrong?" Mu Yao said sullenly. That man almost killed Helian Yun, so why couldn't he kill him back? She had already planned to use "Wuming"'s feelings for her to poison him. No, she wanted to poison the entire Bloodthirsty Pavilion, killing as many as she could.

Li Changan was so anxious that his voice became a little louder: "Not only is what you said wrong, it's ridiculously wrong!"

He took a breath, paced a few steps and continued, "If it were so easy to kill him, the emperor wouldn't have been in so much trouble until now. You don't know how strong Wuming is. Dad tells you, he is immune to all poisons!"

"What!" Mu Yao's pupils trembled. Then her plan...

Taifu Li continued to attack, "Dad also wants to tell you that not only Wuming is immune to all poisons, but everyone in the entire Bloodthirsty Pavilion is immune to all poisons. This is a long story, you just need to know that they are very strong, extremely strong, ridiculously strong! The Bloodthirsty Pavilion has stood in Yunqi for two thousand eight hundred years, and when it was passed to Wuming, its scale was expanded unprecedentedly. Now the only one who can compete with it is..." Taifu Li coughed and stopped talking.

"Only what?" Mu Yao asked solemnly.

Li Changan broke out in a cold sweat, and he almost let out the secret of "Anshang". This matter has not been finalized yet, and Yaoyao must not know about it, lest she worry and lose her composure.

He said calmly, "Only you can fight against it."

"Me?" Mu Yao pondered over this question, which was part of her plan.

Li Changan glanced outside the room, closed the door, pulled Mu Yao to his side and whispered, "Yaoyao, listen carefully to what Dad is going to say to you, and then think about it before you answer Dad."

Looking at his daughter's complicated eyes, his tone unconsciously became much more natural: "You find a way to take that man in. As for how you want to live with him in the future, it's up to you. Dad has a different stance from your parents-in-law and Qingcheng, and Dad always has to think of you first. Wuming is willing to make enemies with everyone for you. From this aspect, he is deeply obsessed with you. Stabilizing him means stabilizing the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. As for what to do next, it will be much easier."

"Dad, if I take him in, won't that make me an enemy of Emperor Qingyuan?" She was shocked by her father's idea.

Imperial Tutor Li disapproved and said, "You accepted Wuming's shameless request in order to save Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng. The emperor has not yet felt guilty."

"What about Xu Qingcheng? What will he think? What will the eldest princess and Prime Minister Xu think?" Mu Yao spoke out all her concerns at once.

"What do you think? Dad is telling you the truth without mercy! They all have to step aside!" These words sounded really cruel coming from Li Changan's mouth.

Li Changan sighed, "Dad has already said that the Xu family can't protect you. You also saw today that the best people in Dayun all came, but what was the result? Didn't my daughter have to come forward in person to exchange him back? It's right to listen to Dad, keep him stable and use him for your own benefit. As for the future, you can live your life however you want. No matter how strong and cruel he is, he still has to do what you want after he marries him."

Mu Yao understood what her father meant, but she had to think about it carefully. She had originally only wanted to calm the man down so that he could poison her for revenge. If she took him in... she just felt sick to her stomach.

"Dad, I'll find a way to get out of this first. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later." Mu Yao was in a state of confusion. Her plan was rejected, and she had to reorganize her thoughts.

Li Taifu held his breath and couldn't help but remind him again: "Yaoyao, Dad has a few more words to say. If you don't take him in, and he kidnaps you again in the future, I'm afraid you will really have to mobilize thousands of troops to make you restless. The Bloodthirsty Pavilion is not easy to deal with. If it is so easy to eradicate, the emperor will not let it go until now. Everything has two sides. In any case, you must stabilize him tomorrow and find a way to come back." He was unwilling to take the last step to find "An Shang" from the bottom of his heart. This organization has no moral bottom line, even worse than the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. It is hard for him to imagine how big a trouble it would be if this matter involved two major killer organizations. The fear is that if it doesn't end well, he will lose both the wife and the army.

Mu Yao's dark eyes were dim. Walking on the road back to Qizi Garden, every step felt like a thousand pounds of weight.

The house was empty, with only the red silks filling the room retaining the joy of a grand wedding.

Lying on the wedding bed, she rolled around in melancholy.

"I can't beat him, and I can't kill him with poison. Are we really going to take him in? Oh! It's really terrible!"

Wang Yanzhi's handsome face kept appearing in front of him, and he felt extremely conflicted. It's hard to repay a favor! If I rescue Wang Yanzhi tomorrow, I will be doing him a favor, and we don't owe each other anything.

Pearlescent light shakes the white moon, bamboo shadows are disturbed by the gentle breeze.

Han Qi and his group arrived at "Lingshui Spring" early and quietly arranged everything.

Thousands of killers hid in this sea of ​​bamboo, blending into the dark night. The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of bamboo leaves in the breeze.

"Bring the person up." A cold voice sounded in the night sky, extremely creepy and ghostly.

The heavy sound of the ground raised a lot of dust. Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng said nothing, and stubbornly raised their faces covered with cold sweat.

Han Qi slowly turned around and looked coldly at the two wounded ants in front of him, mocking them, "You guys are overestimating your abilities by thinking you can stop me."

He was dressed in a dark silk robe and a black hat, wrapping himself up tightly to hide his true appearance. He even spoke in a cautious false voice.

He looked up at the "Purple Cloud Summit" with a look that looked down upon the world, and raised a chilling voice: "If the two of you are important enough, you must be alive tomorrow."
