Chapter 586 Sister-in-law?
only……
Ye Qing'an was somewhat surprised. Why didn't Liu Enze offer any advice?
Various sounds came from the forest: fighting sounds, shouts.
"The rebels are here! The rebels are here!" A piercing shout rang out from the forest, clearly audible to the soldiers outside.
The crowd exchanged glances, then cautiously looked at the Crown Prince, whose face was grim, and none dared to utter a sound.
The crown prince pursed his lips: "Do you think the rebels will continue their attack?"
Liu Enze shook his head: "It shouldn't be. We've already discovered their secret passage in the dense forest and dispatched a large army to guard this place. The rebels in the city are not many in number, but they are elite. Being small but elite, they can be very effective by launching a sneak attack or using a stratagem to launch a surprise attack."
"But a direct confrontation with us might not be very advantageous. So they probably won't want to launch a frontal assault..."
The crown prince nodded, then looked up thoughtfully in the direction of Anzhi City, his eyes somewhat vacant.
The noise in the woods gradually subsided...
The prince pursed his lips tightly. Most likely, those fools who disobeyed orders had already been killed by the rebels.
The Crown Prince took a deep breath. If it was truly as Liu Enze said, that the rebels dared not confront them head-on...
Could he set up a defensive line, with shifts day and night, and send a large number of soldiers to guard it, so that the rebels would have no chance to take advantage?
The crown prince secretly plotted in his heart. After a moment of silence, he said, "Meng Chao, take three thousand soldiers into the forest, clean up the battlefield, and check the situation in the forest."
"Yes."
As soon as the Crown Prince and Meng Chao finished speaking, a soldier suddenly shouted, "What is that? Why is there smoke in the forest again? Wasn't the forest fire extinguished by Miss Ye's blizzard?"
The soldier's words immediately drew everyone's attention.
"Has the forest fire reignited?" the prince asked, frowning.
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the white smoke, and her expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, it's poisonous smoke!"
"It must have been the rebels who dug open the secret passage, allowing the poisonous smoke to escape."
Ye Qing'an and Liu Enze spoke almost in unison.
The two exchanged a glance before simultaneously looking up in the direction from which the poisonous smoke was dissipating...
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips tightly: "This wind...something's not right!"
"When we were preparing to release smoke and set off forest fires, the wind was clearly blowing towards Anzhi City. But why is this poisonous smoke now coming towards us?"
“The wind has changed.”
The prince's face immediately turned grim: "The wind has changed direction? The poisonous smoke is blowing this way? What do we do? Is there any antidote?"
"No, Dr. Huo said there wasn't enough time, so he only gave me the antidote that had been prepared earlier."
"The antidote has already been distributed to His Highness's personal guards..."
The crown prince panicked immediately: "What should we do now?"
"The poisonous smoke is coming soon, then we're in trouble..."
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, raised her hand, gathered spiritual energy in her palm, and with a gentle wave of her hand, a strong wind raged...
The smoke that was about to approach them was blown back and headed straight for Anzhi City.
Just as the smoke was about to reach the edge of the dense forest on the other side, many people suddenly appeared on the city wall of Anzhi City. Together, they gathered their spiritual power and poured it all into... the dense forest...
Ye Qing'an looked closely and noticed that the trees in the dense forest had changed over time; some trees had been cut down.
Now, under the infusion of spiritual energy, the trees in the forest are gradually forming a... array.
A spirit-locking array.
Once the spirit-gathering array was activated, the white smoke began to swirl back and forth in the forest. No matter how the wind blew, it only swirled in the forest without dissipating, yet it could not escape.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes; Yi Moxu indeed had a backup plan.
He seemed to have planned everything out, that she would tell Liu Enze and the Crown Prince about the secret passage in the forest.
They had figured it out; Liu Enze would use poisonous smoke to deal with the secret passage.
She had also anticipated the shift in the wind direction, anticipated that she would make her move...
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly. A worthy opponent indeed. Interesting.
Ye Qing'an quickly formed an array with his hands, and three beams of light suddenly descended from the sky, landing in three places within the array.
Life Gate, Rest Gate, Open Gate!
Immediately, the smoke climbed up the pillar of light from the three doors, and then suddenly dissipated when it reached the top of the pillar.
……
On the opposite side of Anzhi City's city tower, next to those who were forming a battle formation, stood three men.
Standing in the very center was Yi Moxu.
Yi Moxu had two people standing on his left and right. The person on the left looked to be about twenty or thirty years old, with a somewhat cynical expression on his face.
The man on the right had a long beard and looked to be in his forties, appearing rather composed.
“I didn’t realize that.” The young man on the left blinked, a slight smile playing on his lips. “Isn’t the rumored eldest daughter of the Ye family supposed to be someone who never leaves her home and has been sent to the estate for several years? I thought she was just an ordinary young lady with slightly higher spiritual power…”
"But look at how she found the three auspicious gates of the formation almost without hesitation when she saw it. This Miss Ye is quite something."
Upon hearing this, Yi Moxu merely glanced at him lightly.
The man quickly raised his hands: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have looked down on her."
Yi Moxu nodded: "That's one thing, but you also made a mistake."
"Huh?" The man looked bewildered. "What?"
"You should call her... sister-in-law."
"..." The man's mouth gaped open, his face showing a look of utter shock: "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law?"
The older man beside him smiled and glanced at the two people next to him: "It's no wonder Xing Jun is surprised. He had been guarding Qian'an and the army in your place, and knew nothing about what was happening in Wangjing. Moreover... even I was somewhat surprised after hearing about your relationship with Miss Ye."
Xing Jun was slightly surprised: "Uncle He, you know? What's going on? Haven't you been with me in this army all along? When did you find out? Why didn't you tell me?"
The elder, who was called Uncle He, was originally named He Chang'an. When Xing Jun asked this question, he just smiled and glanced at Yi Moxu.
Seeing that Yi Moxu was standing to the side with a slight smile on his lips, seemingly unconcerned, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You should know about the incident five years ago when our Lord was drugged, right?"
"I know."
"The person who was with the Lord at that time was this Miss Ye. And the Lord only learned upon returning to Wangjing City that after that incident, this Miss Ye gave birth to a child, who is now four years old."
