"Why not?" He smiled. "You're the sister - in - law that Ran Wei likes the most, and he's the elder brother that Ran Wei respects. As long as you say a word, I'll surely help you overthrow the world for Ran Wei's sake."
For some reason, when Ji Feiyu heard this, her heart felt warm. So she whispered, "So, your heart was bought by Ran Wei long ago."
"Er..." He paused. "Why use such an unpleasant word as 'bought'?"
Ji Feiyu immediately laughed and joked, "Then call me sister - in - law and let me hear it."
But he pretended to be serious and said with a straight face, "Judging from what you said, you still can't let go of Yong Yaxuan?"
How annoying! Why does this guy always want to know her true feelings? He can't even take a joke.
So he took Ji Feiyu's silence as a default and said, "Okay, I can cooperate with you and act as an insider. By then, when their vanguard troops and the imperial guards in the palace fight to a draw, you can lead our people to clean up the mess. Then I'll appropriately withdraw the troops blocking the mighty general. After you stabilize the situation, you can tell everyone which side you're on and capture the others all at once."
Hearing this, Ji Feiyu knew that he really wanted to help her. After thinking about his plan, she couldn't help but admire his meticulousness. Then she said, "So, it was you guys who blocked the returning troops of the mighty general. No wonder Yong Yaxuan has been listless recently."
As she said this, she couldn't help but recall that Yong Yaxuan had said he was in a bad mood that day. So it was this matter. After that, the two had a big fight because of Lin Zhiran, and then she had raided the prison...
Wait! Reviewing this matter again, she suddenly found something wrong. First, Yong Yaxuan had been very tolerant and indulgent towards her recently. Why would he pick a fight with her under the pretext of being in a bad mood and deliberately mention Cheng Xuan to provoke her? Second, when she wanted to raid the prison, she just happened to meet Lin Zhiran being transferred to another cell, which saved her a lot of trouble. How could things be so coincidental? Third, when Yong Yaxuan later led people to come over, it was obvious that he had been well - prepared. But if he had known that she was going to raid the prison, why did he leave his manpower in the reinforcement troops instead of directly sending more people to guard the dungeon?
Combining the news of Bei Han's appearance and the blocking of the mighty general, she finally came to a terrible conclusion in her heart, that is, Yong Yaxuan did it on purpose! Maybe he was afraid that the city would be breached because the mighty general couldn't come to the rescue, so he deliberately wanted to push her out of the palace to keep her away from this mess.
Knowing the truth, Ji Feiyu couldn't help scolding him for being a fool in her heart. On the other hand, she felt extremely heart - broken! How could there be such a person! Didn't they agree to advance and retreat together? Why did he push her away on his own initiative! If she hadn't cared about him and was going to go back after sending Lin Zhiran away, would he have thought he was great on one hand and been sad that she really left on the other hand!
Fool! Such a fool! Ji Feiyu scolded in her heart. Then she heard Yu Chi Yanyan say somewhat embarrassedly, "… It should be like this."
He was answering her previous words.
After knowing about his and Ran Wei's matter, when Ji Feiyu looked at him again, she didn't find him so annoying anymore. So she patted his shoulder and said, "It's never too late to mend one's ways. I'll trust you, brother - in - law, just this once."
"Okay, sister - in - law." His voice was deliberately lowered, but Ji Feiyu with her sharp ears still heard it.
So she laughed. "Hey, this address is nice. Say it one more time."
Yu Chi Yanyan: "…"
Just as they were talking, Bai Xiaofeng came back. As soon as Yu Chi Yanyan saw him, he immediately said, "A Bai, hurry up and take her away. Opposites don't make good company."
Bai Xiaofeng clicked his tongue twice. "Did the talk break down so soon?"
Yu Chi Yanyan said, "Not really. It's just that someone follows certain people and doesn't learn good things but only how to play tricks."
Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help saying, "Yanyan, how can you talk to me like this!"
Seeing that Bai Xiaofeng seemed to be about to act coquettishly with his younger brother, Ji Feiyu immediately said, "Leader! Let's go back quickly! I have something to ask you!"
Bai Xiaofeng immediately put away his flippant look, squinted at Ji Feiyu and said, "Didn't you ask enough when you were alone with Yanyan just now?"
Ji Feiyu played the victim. "The leader said he wanted to catch up with me! But instead, he pulled me into such a big game. Does the leader have a conscience?"
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofeng said, "Okay, okay, okay. Let's go back first." Then he turned to Yu Chi and said, "Then Yanyan, I'll take her away first. Be careful about everything."
Yu Chi Yanyan nodded steadily. Then Bai Xiaofeng took Ji Feiyu back to the previous small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, four beauties, two in black and two in white, were ordered to stand at the four corners to guard the safety of the small courtyard...
As soon as Ji Feiyu came back, she got straight to the point. "Yanyan said he came to find me specifically! You found me when you were guarding the Lin Mansion and then took me there. So here's the question. How did you get in touch with the Lin Mansion? Why were you guarding the Lin Mansion? If it's just a matter of interests, there's no need for you, a dignified leader, to guard the Lin Mansion for that old fox, right!"
Bai Xiaofeng seriously sized up Ji Feiyu and said, "I said, after not seeing you for a few years, how have you become so meticulous! You can find problems from just a casual sentence?"
Ji Feiyu said, "Don't try to change the subject. Are you afraid that the world won't be in chaos? How dare you conspire with that old fox Lin! The saying 'the jianghu doesn't interfere with the court, and the court doesn't interfere with the jianghu'? Haven't you heard of it? You're really so bold. I really don't understand you!"
Bai Xiaofeng immediately laughed and walked around the angry Ji Feiyu and said, "What can I do? If I say I got involved in this game for your sake, would you believe me?"
"Not at all!" Ji Feiyu looked at him angrily. He found her angry look extremely amusing. It seemed that he had returned to the days when he used to play tricks on her. So he said, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you the reason why Master Lin came to me.
"You might as well think about it. Why does a person from the jianghu need to get involved when there's a political coup in the court? What about me did he take a fancy to?" Bai Xiaofeng looked at her with his beautiful eyes blinking.
Ji Feiyu thought for a while and immediately understood. She said, "So did he take a fancy to your martial arts or your ability to call on the people in the martial arts world?"
But Bai Xiaofeng didn't answer her. Instead, he sighed and said, "Oh, Master Lin is really generous. The conditions he offered me were really hard to refuse. There were gold, silver and treasures, and there were also promises. He really saw through people's hearts. But the things that such a treacherous official did couldn't move me. I was thinking about how to refuse, but then something really interesting happened."
"What happened?" Ji Feiyu's curiosity was piqued.
Bai Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously. "You probably can't imagine. After I talked to him about this matter in his mansion and postponed my answer, I met a person in the corridor of his house. That person deliberately bumped into me, but the real purpose was to stuff a small note into my hand."
