"Keep watching!" Li Xingfan said in a deep, steady voice, revealing a composure unwavering even in the face of a mountain of collapse. Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze back to the field, watching the conflict unfold in the distance.

Sun Jihai stood in front of the carriage, bowed apologetically, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, I am acting on the orders of His Majesty. I have no choice but to do so. If I have offended you, I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

After saying this, he glanced around and, under the gaze of everyone, strode towards the carriage with his head held high.

Inside the carriage, Qing Meng secretly rejoiced. She was eagerly anticipating Sun Jihai's arrival, and now, she could hardly contain her excitement. However, to avoid arousing Li Xingyun's suspicion, she feigned nervousness and timidly said to him, "Your Majesty, how about I find a place to hide first? I don't want Commander Sun to see me!"

Li Xingyun glanced at her casually, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, "No need, just sit here."

The carriage is so small that there is no place for Qing Meng to hide!

After saying that, he turned his head to look outside the carriage and shouted loudly: "Commander Sun, just come in!"

Hearing Li Xingyun's permission, Sun Jihai was obviously relieved. He quickly walked past Ye Xian, reached out to open the curtain of the carriage, and then stepped into the carriage.

As Qing Meng saw Sun Jihai gradually approaching, her heart beat faster and faster. She widened her eyes and stared at Sun Jihai, her excitement beyond words.

After Sun Jihai entered the carriage, he acted as if he hadn't seen Qing Meng at all. He walked straight to Li Xingyun, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists in salute, and said loudly: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!"

Li Xingyun sat in the carriage with a calm expression. He nodded slightly and asked calmly, "Is there anything unusual with my carriage?"

Qing Meng thought to herself that Sun Jihai probably didn't recognize her, so she quickly adjusted her state, pretending to be very nervous, and deliberately made a low muffled sound.

As expected, the muffled sound successfully caught Sun Jihai's attention. He turned his head sharply, his gaze fixed on Qing Meng, a hint of surprise on his face. However, in just a moment, Sun Jihai's gaze shifted away, as if Qing Meng were just an insignificant passerby.

"Your Highness, everything is normal in the carriage. I will take my leave now." After Sun Jihai finished reporting to the prince in the carriage, he turned and left in a hurry, as if he had completely lost interest in Qing Meng.

"Retreat! Everything is normal!" After Sun Jihai left the carriage and gave orders to his men, the Jinyiwei beside him quickly dispersed like well-trained soldiers, making a wide road for the carriage to pass smoothly.

"Gee!" Seeing this, Ye Xian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, snorted lightly, shook the reins in his hand, and drove the carriage to continue moving south.

Qing Meng watched Sun Jihai walk away, her anger growing stronger. She couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Ah? Sun Jihai, are you blind? I'm such a grown-up sitting here, and you're just turning a blind eye. How can you act like the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei? It's really speechless!" Qing Meng became more and more angry as she thought about it, and her heart was like a wild horse running away.

However, just when Qing Meng took a breath, she suddenly realized that something was wrong!

"That's not right! How could Sun Jihai not recognize me? He is clearly... Could he be Li Xingyun's man?" This thought suddenly flashed through Qing Meng's mind, making her break out in a cold sweat!

If Sun Jihai was really Li Xingyun's man, what would that mean? Qing Meng's heart was in a state of panic. She couldn't help but think: Sun Jihai is the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei! If even he is controlled by Li Xingyun, doesn't that mean that the entire Jinyiwei has fallen into Li Xingyun's hands? This is really terrifying!

At the same time, Li Xingfeng felt a little uneasy after seeing Sun Jihai leave. He asked hesitantly, "Is the carriage okay?"

Li Xingmin's eyes were deep and solemn. He stared at the direction where Sun Jihai left. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "It's hard to say. Let's wait and see."

Li Xingfeng was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He frowned and asked, "Sixth Brother, are you saying that Sun Jihai was bribed by Old Thirteen?"

Li Xingfan sneered, looked at Li Xingfeng with disdain, and said, "Humph! He can even win over my close associates. Is it surprising that he can bribe the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei?"

"This...this..." Li Xingfeng widened his eyes, his face full of shock, and he couldn't help but take a breath!

He never imagined that Li Xingyun's power was so unfathomable, just like an iceberg hidden in the deep sea. Every time he thought he had seen the whole picture of the iceberg, he would suddenly find that there were more parts hidden under the water, which was completely unpredictable!

"This... when did this happen?" Li Xingfeng muttered to himself, his heart filled with doubts and confusion. He clearly remembered that after his eldest brother died, Old Thirteen had no contact with Sun Jihai! So, what exactly happened?

Li Xingmin's expression was equally solemn. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "It's hard to say. Judging from the depth of Old Thirteen's talent, perhaps he was the one behind Sun Jihai's decision to join Big Brother!"

After hearing this, Li Xingfeng's heart tightened. This guess was too shocking! If this was true, then Old Thirteen's thoughts were truly terrifyingly deep.

However, Li Xingfan on the side did not seem to be interested in these things. He just snorted coldly and turned his gaze back to the slowly moving carriage, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

There were not only the Jinyiwei group on this road. Just a few minutes after they walked out, a group of soldiers in military uniforms suddenly rushed out from the front and stopped Li Xingyun's carriage.

"Who is in front? How dare he block the carriage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!" Ye Xian pulled the reins suddenly, and the carriage stopped abruptly. He opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly at the front.

In the center of the road ahead, a line of heavily armored soldiers stood in neat formation, blocking the way. The leading general, draped in a red cape and imposing in his presence, clasped his hands together and replied with neither servility nor arrogance, "We serve under the Second Prince, the King of Youzhou. We have been ordered to control the road out of the city. Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, requests our cooperation!"
