On that day, Su Jingning disguised herself as a poison girl and prepared to leave the city with the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley.

As a result, when they arrived at the city gate, the people from Wan Du Valley were stopped.

"Master Yegu, please forgive me. There was an assassin in the Governor's Mansion last night, and he has not been found yet. The Governor has ordered that everyone entering and leaving Qingzhou City must be checked." The guard at the city gate saluted slightly towards Ye Ling's carriage and said with a terrified look on his face.

The female devil who is the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley kills people without blinking an eye, and he doesn't want to get into bad luck, but the chief governor has issued a death order, and the two men cannot leave Qingzhou City. Yesterday, the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley were the most suspicious in the chief governor's office, and the chief governor has ordered a strict investigation of all the people in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, and he has no choice.

Ah Shi walked up to the guard, took out a dark token from her sleeve, and said in a deep voice, "Can you check our Valley Master's carriage? This is the order from Old Master Chen. He said that people from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley can enter and exit Qingzhou City directly."

The guard looked at the token, and a look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. The old man was confused. How could he give the personal order to anyone casually? With an apologetic smile on his face, he shook his head:

"Please don't embarrass me, young lady. The city lord has ordered that all people entering and leaving Qingzhou City must be checked."

"You!" Ah Shi's eyes were filled with anger. They could check their valley master's carriage whenever they wanted.

"What? I won't cooperate today, what can you do?" Ye Ling, who had been silent in the carriage, had already lost his patience after being exhausted by the soldier. He opened the curtain and glanced at the guard with an extremely impatient look, his eyes full of murderous intent. He secretly accumulated strength in his hands, as if he could attack the guard in the next second.

Su Jingning sat opposite Ye Ling with her face covered. Seeing the cruelty and murderous intent in Ye Ling's eyes, he patted her lightly, signaling her not to conflict with the people from Qingzhou City.

Ye Ling then collected the internal force in his hand and impatiently took out a jet-black jade token from his sleeve. It was engraved with complex and ancient patterns, and faintly revealed the legendary Kunlun beast Bai Ze, holy and mysterious. Ye Ling picked up the token and waved it at the guard at the city gate.

"Say it again, do you still want to check my carriage?" Her eyes narrowed slightly, looking down at him. An evil and arrogant aura rushed towards him.

When the guard saw the token, his expression changed. He immediately stepped aside, ordered someone to make way, then bowed respectfully towards the carriage, not daring to say another word.

That token could be used to enter and exit the small Qingzhou city as well as the capitals of the four countries at will, and no one would dare to stop it.

The guard bowed carefully and saluted, and did not dare to stand up until the carriage from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley had gone far away.

The soldier at the side did not recognize the token and asked, "General, the commander ordered a strict investigation of the people in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. Why don't you continue to investigate the carriages in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley?"

The guard leader shook his head as he saw the carriage going away and said, "You have seen the token in her hand. It is Mo Linyuan's Bai Ze Token. It is said that there are only seven of them in the world. Anyone with this token can travel anywhere in the world. No one can stop her. Even if she wants to go to the Imperial Capital, no one dares to stop her."

Not far from the city gate, a gorgeous carriage was parked. Shen Zhiyi sat in the carriage and put down the curtain in her hand. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Why did she feel that the masked poison woman in the carriage of the Valley Master of Ten Thousand Poisons Valley looked a bit like Su Jingning? She must have seen it wrong. How could she appear here and ride in the same carriage with the Valley Master of Ten Thousand Poisons Valley?

When she saw that Chen Sisi had not returned from buying pastries, she asked someone to go look for her, saying that the Empress Dowager was still waiting for them to return.

Outside the city, in the carriage, Ye Ling shook the jet-black token in his hand, and said with a smile: "This token given by the master is still of some use, don't you think, Xiao Qi?"

Su Jingning was staring outside the car in a daze. She didn't hear Ye Ling's words and didn't respond for a while. She just caught a glimpse of the portrait in the hands of the guard at the city gate. It was of her eldest brother and Gu Yan'an. They were looking for her eldest brother and Gu Yan'an.

But Gu Yan'an came to Qingzhou as an imperial inspector, and Chen Xu shouldn't dare to touch him. But today, it seems that Chen Xu wants to take action against his elder brother and Gu Yan'an. He is really going to rebel.

Fortunately, my eldest brother and Gu Yan'an left the city overnight, so at least they were not trapped in the city.

Ye Ling frowned slightly when he saw that she was absent-minded. This child has been absent-minded since morning and he didn't know what was wrong.

She remembered that last night, Ah Shi told her that there was a strange man in Xiaoqi's room. Could it be because of that man?

"Xiao Qi? What's wrong with you? You seem absent-minded." Ye Ling asked.

Su Jingning came back to her senses and saw Ye Ling talking to her. She asked in doubt: "Ah? Senior Sister, what did you just say?"

Ye Ling looked at her, paused for a while, and then asked, "Xiao Qi, Ah Shi told me that when I went to invite you last night, I saw a strange man in your room. He seemed to be the imperial envoy from the capital who was at the banquet hosted by old man Chen yesterday? Xiao Qi, do you know him?"

Su Jingning was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said softly, "Yes, his name is Gu Yan'an, and he is the prince of Beiyang Palace."

Ye Ling tilted his head and looked at her. Knowing that she hadn't finished speaking, he added, "Anything else?"

"And...he is my fiancé." Su Jingning said with his head slightly lowered.

"Oh, I told you that you were absent-minded this morning... Wait. What do you mean by that man?!" Ye Ling took the teapot on the small table in the middle of the carriage and prepared to pour her a cup of tea. However, he was only halfway through pouring the tea when he was startled by Su Jingning's words and dropped the tea in his hand, splashing it all over the floor.

Ye Ling's voice suddenly rose, which also scared Su Jingning. She looked at Ye Ling with surprise in her eyes, and whispered:

"My fiancé."

Then he added in a low voice, "Although the engagement has not yet come."

Ye Ling spent most of the year in the valley and rarely went out, so naturally she didn't know about Su Jingning. When did Xiao Qi get engaged? Why didn't anyone mention it to her? Even the eldest brother wrote to her a few days ago, but he didn't mention it to her at all.

"Then what should I do, Senior Brother..."

Ye Ling frowned slightly and almost said what was in his mind. Over the years, except for Xiao Qi, all the fellow apprentices in Yuanli could see the feelings of the senior brother for Xiao Qi.

Su Jingning looked at Ye Ling, who had a strange expression on his face, with doubt in his eyes: "What happened to Senior Brother? He knows about this. He went to the Imperial Capital a few days ago and gave me the Xuanxue Pill."

Looking at Su Jingning, whose expression was sincere and whose eyes were pure, Ye Ling swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Forget it, she decided not to cause trouble for her senior brother.

Ye Ling thought of the man at the banquet yesterday. His appearance was quite similar to Xiao Qi's. However, a prince from a royal palace was still a little different from their Mo Linyuan's baby.

"You girl, I only know about such a big thing now!" Ye Ling reached out and tapped Su Jingning's forehead, pretending to be angry.

Su Jingning said softly and coquettishly: "Oh, Xiaoqi was so busy these days that I forgot about it for a moment. Don't be angry, Senior Sister."

"You!" Ye Ling looked at Su Jingning with a coquettish look and said helplessly. She thought to herself that she had to ask someone to find out the details of that person so that Xiao Qi would not be deceived.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly. Su Jingning almost hit the window frame, and Ye Ling held her up. Then he shouted outside: "What's going on?"

"Replying to the Valley Master, it's the Netherworld Guards."

Ah Shi and Yun Ya, who were riding horses outside the car, looked alert, staring fiercely at the armored guards blocking the middle of the road.

The dark black armor shone coldly in the sun, reflecting the chill. The Netherworld Guards rode on black horses, wearing iron masks of Rakshasa, and blocked the road silently.

Ye Ling glanced at Su Jingning, signaling her not to make a sound, then he stood up, lifted the car curtain and walked out.

Ye Ling only brought about twenty or so poison girls this time. Seeing that the Netherworld Guards came with ill intentions, they all guarded around the carriage, looking at the Netherworld Guards opposite with vigilance.

Ye Ling came out of the carriage and stood in front of it, dressed in red. She glanced at the Netherworld Guards who were blocking the road with a nonchalant look. Her voice was charming, but she said something arrogant and evil:

"Oh? A bunch of useless lumps of iron dare to block my way? Didn't Cheng Zong tell you not to mess with me?"

"Master Yegu, we don't want to make things difficult for you. Hand over Su Jingchen and we won't block your way. How about it?" The leader of the Netherworld Guards looked at the beautiful Ye Ling and did not retreat.

A cold look flashed across Su Jingning's starry eyes in the carriage. The Netherworld Guards got involved again. Did they find the Ten Thousand Poison Valley?

Outside the car, Ye Ling sneered and said coldly: "I don't have the person you are looking for here."

Then he looked at the leader with a sharp gaze, and said with a smile on his face, "Also, were you just... negotiating terms with me?"

Seeing Ye Ling being so arrogant, the leader was filled with anger and said disdainfully:

"So what? Lord Yegu, you'd better hand the person over first."

Ye Ling's smile grew wider, but his eyes were filled with boundless coldness and murderous intent, and his hands were filled with great internal energy: "Oh? Really? So what if I don't know what's best for me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she flipped her hand, and several silver threads as thin as spider silk shot out from her sleeve. The leader's hand holding the reins froze, and his eyes under the iron mask suddenly widened. He looked at Ye Ling who was standing in front of the carriage in disbelief. He wanted to open his mouth, but could not utter a word.

The next moment, he fell off his horse and the Nether Guards behind him saw what happened. They were all filled with fear, because the leader's body broke apart the moment he touched the ground. The female devil had used the silver thread to kill their leader in just a moment, and she was so cruel.

Ye Ling glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground, then said coldly to the poisonous women beside him: "It was the Nether Guard who broke the rules first, so there is no need to show mercy."

"Yes!"

Ah Shi looked coldly at the Netherworld Guards who were blocking the way, and was the first to release the poisonous insects she raised at them. Then, the group of poisonous women behind her also rushed forward, attacking ruthlessly and without mercy.

Su Jingning sat in the carriage, watching with cold eyes as the Netherworld Guards were thrown off their horses by the poison from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley and rolled on the ground in pain.

Suddenly, her expression tensed, she stepped out of the carriage quickly, pulled away a poisonous woman who was almost chopped, then turned around and pierced the chest of the Netherworld Guard with a sword.

In the woods, Shen Feng stood beside a big tree and saw the woman who suddenly appeared in the carriage. None of the Netherworld Guards could withstand two of her moves. Surprise flashed in his eyes. This woman's skills were not half as weaker than that of the female devil in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, but she didn't look like a member of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. Who is she?

Soon, that team of Netherworld Guards was dealt with by the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, and only a few people from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley were slightly injured.

Su Jingning glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes. The people of the Netherworld Guards had set their sights on them. He wondered how his elder brother and Gu Yan'an were doing.

"Xiao Qi, get on the horse quickly, we have to get back to the valley as soon as possible. These Nether Guards are like dog-skin plasters, so annoying!" Ye Ling jumped on the horse, holding a Nether Guard's horse in his hand, and said to Su Jingning.

Su Jingning nodded and climbed onto the horse, but at the moment of getting on the horse, he paused, pulled the bow and arrow from the saddle, quickly drew the bow to its full draw, then turned sharply and shot towards the forest on the side. The arrow passed through the forest without making any sound.

Su Jingning frowned and looked in that direction, then nodded to Ye Ling and galloped away on his horse.

In the woods, Shen Feng fell in the grass with a pale face. His right shoulder was pierced by an arrow and blood was flowing.

Shen Feng's face was full of pain. Who on earth was that woman? How could she have discovered him?

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged the arrow, preventing it from piercing his chest.

On the other side, Su Jingning galloped along with the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, but the more she walked, the more uneasy she felt. She glanced at Ye Ling, with determination flashing in her eyes. She pulled the reins hard and stopped the horse.

"Senior Sister, I have something else to do, so I won't go back to the Ten Thousand Poison Valley for now. You go back first." After saying that, he pulled the reins and prepared to go to the other side.

Ye Ling saw her suddenly stop and change direction, with an anxious look in his eyes: "Xiao Qi, where are you going?"

"Senior Sister, you go back first. I'll go find Gu Yan'an." Su Jingning said this and turned to run to the other side.

"Master Yegu, you take your people back first. I will follow the young lady."

Yun Ya glanced at Ye Ling, said something softly, and then rode her horse to catch up with Su Jingning.

Seeing that Su Jingning’s back had disappeared, Ye Ling had no choice but to take his men back to the valley.

There was anxiety in Su Jingning's eyes. The Netherworld Guards got involved. It was the Queen Mother who wanted to kill his eldest brother and Gu Yan'an. She wanted to use this to break the relationship between the Su family, Beiyang Prince's Mansion and His Majesty, so as to achieve the goal of disrupting the balanced alliance between the Su family, Beiyang Prince's Mansion and His Majesty.

The Queen Mother clearly wants to go against Your Majesty, so in order to achieve this goal, she will stop at nothing to make my eldest brother and Gu Yan'an die in the Eastern Territory.

Gu Yan'an cannot go to Laoshan County. Laoshan County belongs to the Shen family and also houses the Queen Mother's secrets. Once his identity is exposed, given the defense of Laoshan County, she dare not imagine the consequences.

Gu Yan'an left Qingzhou City last night. If she hurried, she should be able to catch up with him.
