Chapter 675 I Can't Gamble
Ye Qing'an quickly understood Yi Moxu's idea: "It's worth a try."
"Besides, it will take Ghost Shadow a bit more time and effort to go to the island to investigate. Before that, we can select some key suspected target islands."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of confusion: "How do I choose?"
"It's not difficult."
Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "You should know that besides humans and ghosts, we also have... spirit beasts and magical beasts."
"Anything that can approach those islands silently—birds of prey, or magical beasts that can swim—is acceptable."
"Although Liu Enze's five senses and six perceptions are very sharp, we have only ever seen such a talent in Liu Enze. As fellow Night Elves, Liu Xueying and Ye Zirui's five senses and six perceptions are not much different from ordinary people."
"From this, we can see that even if there are still Night Demons in the Night Demon Clan's territory, they may not have Night Demons as perceptive as Liu Enze. So, it's not difficult to get magical beasts to approach and investigate, as long as they don't land on the island."
Ye Qing'an's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected this.
"If we're talking about magical beasts, spirit beasts would be the best. Jiuxiao and Gu Duo's water unicorn are both good at swimming. We can send them to that sea area to investigate thoroughly."
"and……"
Ye Qing'an became increasingly excited as she spoke: "Furthermore, Jiuxiao and that water unicorn are ancient magical beasts, and they can communicate with other magical beasts in the water. At that time, we can also have Jiuxiao go and find other magical beasts in that sea area to gather information."
“They have lived in that sea area for so many years, they must know more.”
Yi Moxu nodded: "Yes, that's right. So, in this way, we can find the target quickly. First, we'll identify a few islands that are of particular suspicion, and then we'll have Ghost Shadow find a way to land on the islands under the pretext of a fishing boat running aground, and investigate them carefully."
“Okay.” Ye Qing’an said, raising her hand and drawing a summoning circle.
Soon, Jiuxiao stepped out of the summoning circle.
Ye Qing'an gave detailed instructions, and Jiu Xiao quickly agreed: "Shall I go with that water unicorn?"
"Can I separate from that water unicorn? That water unicorn is cold and aloof, and not at all likable."
"Whatever." Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "You just need to get things done properly for me. If you mess it up, you're finished."
Jiuxiao pretended to be scared: "Okay, I'm really scared."
"But now that the water unicorn has found its master and recognized him, shouldn't we discuss using the water unicorn to do something with Gu Duo?"
"Don't worry about Gu Duo." Yi Moxu's lips curled up slightly: "Gu Duo will never refuse matters concerning the Night Demon Clan."
Just as Yi Moxu said, Gu Duo agreed almost without hesitation.
Soon, Jiuxiao and the water unicorn set off together.
After the two spirit beasts left, Ye Qing'an went to check the secret passage again. Liu Enze was still frozen in the ice and there was nothing unusual about him.
"Are Ye Qinghao and Ye Zirui about to arrive at the Siyou Kingdom's camp?"
"They brought reinforcements; they should be here for a few more days."
Ye Qing'an nodded, secretly calculating the days: "However, Liu Enze has been away from the Crown Prince for several days now. If he travels with the army, Ye Zirui may not be able to reach the Crown Prince's side in time to cast the bewitching spell again."
"So I expect Ye Zirui will try to find an excuse to arrive earlier."
"Before that, I should first visit the Crown Prince at the Siyou Kingdom's camp."
Yi Moxu glanced at Ye Qing'an: "Then I'll go with you."
Ye Qing'an nodded, then frowned again: "The Crown Prince's situation is somewhat different from that of ordinary people who are controlled and bewitched by Ye Mei. We must be careful when we go to see him."
"Hmm." Yi Moxu nodded, paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry. If you're worried that the Crown Prince's condition is unstable and something might go wrong, you can wait a little longer..."
"wait?"
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu: "When will we wait?"
Yi Moxu smiled and said, "I know you're worried that if Ye Zirui comes, he'll use his bewitching magic on the Crown Prince again to confuse him. But... we can still prevent Ye Zirui from reaching the camp."
Yi Moxu squinted, his face full of a relaxed sense of control: "Madam, have you forgotten? On the night of our wedding, the army of Siyou Kingdom entered the city, and we performed the Empty City Stratagem for them. But that night, our people went to other cities."
Ye Qing'an naturally remembered: "Qingcheng".
Yi Moxu laughed: "Yes, Qingcheng."
"Qingcheng is located behind the Siyou Kingdom's army camp."
"And because our infiltration was so quiet, everything in Qingcheng is as usual for the time being, and no one has noticed us."
"Ye Qinghao and Ye Zirui will be passing through Qingcheng with reinforcements."
Ye Qing'an gently bit her lip: "But... precisely because they brought reinforcements, and their numbers were so large, their entry into the city would inevitably cause some disturbance to the people in the city and would disturb their peace of mind. So generally, when marching through a city, they would pass by without entering, preferring to camp outside the city rather than go inside."
“Hmm.” Yi Moxu nodded: “When an army marches, it is true that they will pass through the city gates without entering. But Ye Zirui is different…”
"Didn't Madam just guess as well? Because Liu Enze has been away from the Crown Prince for some time, she is worried that the bewitching spell on the Crown Prince will wear off. If she wants to control the Crown Prince again, she will need to spend another two or three months to recast the bewitching spell. Therefore, Ye Zirui will definitely go first."
"If he finds an excuse to leave the army and go to the Siyou Kingdom's camp first, then he will certainly not have many followers with him."
"Moreover, he is still young and has always been raised in Wangjing City and in the Ye Mansion, so he rarely goes out and travels. Therefore, he is not very used to the life of sleeping in the open and in the wind. When he passes through a city, he will definitely go in. Even if he is on the road, he will definitely go in to rest and have a good meal."
"If he enters Qingcheng..."
Seeing Yi Moxu narrow his eyes, Ye Qing'an immediately understood the unspoken meaning in Yi Moxu's words: "If he enters Qingcheng, we can find a way to keep him there. We'll prevent him from going to the camp to see the Crown Prince..."
Yi Moxu nodded.
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment, then shook his head again: "Even so, I still need to go to the camp to see the Crown Prince first. After all, Ye Zirui is not the only Night Enchantress in the world who can use bewitching magic."
"I can't gamble."
