471 Stabbed Him in the Back
It has nothing to do with me. The corpses are to blame. I didn’t do anything. I’m a good, good person!
Yes, that’s right.
“Yan Nuo is really weak. Jiyun, you must train him more in the future. Don’t fall at crucial moments when your opponents have barely touched you,” she reminded Qian Jiyun seriously.
“Alright, I’ll make arrangements.”
Qian Jiyun carried her in his arms, content. He would do whatever she said.
He glanced at Yan Nuo in disdain.
The person I sent to protect Jiuyue had to be protected by her instead. I’ll have to increase the training intensity.
Yan Qin was speechless.
Is Mistress sure that Yan Nuo’s opponents drugged him? Why doesn’t it seem likely to me?
However, thinking about it was useless. Yan Nuo lay there, and no one knew how he had fainted. They would have to wait until he awoke to ask him.
…
In Qiongzhi Courtyard, Qian Jiyun placed An Jiuyue on the bed and watched her sleep soundly before closing the door and walking out.
“Master, how should we deal with Old Madam?” Yan Qin came forward and asked.
He felt that his master must have had enough of what Xue Yingyue had done over the years. Perhaps he should teach her a lesson. Otherwise, things would only worsen.
“Send all the cloud guards back to the residence,” Qian Jiyun instructed coldly.
Yan Qin looked up at his master in disbelief.
They had made a blunder this time. They should not have only sent Yan Nuo to accompany An Jiuyue to the city outskirts.
Only a few shadow guards were guarding the Prince Zhan Yun Residence, let alone the cloud guards—they had all been dispatched elsewhere.
“Master, if all the cloud guards return, then the matters there…” He opened his mouth, wanting to dissuade him.
An Jiuyue was unharmed this time, right? Half of the cloud guards were at Huayan Peak. If all of them returned, their power at Huayan Peak would crumble.
The other half of the cloud guards were on Wulong Mountain. They had no choice but to guard that place. If those people on that mountain rushed down, the entire Daqing Kingdom would be destroyed.
However, he swallowed his words under Qian Jiyun’s dark gaze.
Right. This served as a warning to them. They received information about events in the capital too slowly because they had too few people there.
“We must have the cloud guards remain in both locations, Master. Why don’t we bring back the shadow guards from the border?” he proposed.
With their military present, nothing would happen at the southern border. However, the same could not be said for other places.
Qian Jiyun took a deep breath and lowered his head. Gritting his teeth, he looked back up at Yan Qin.
All of those people carved up his power and influence.
He had done everything he could over the years and could only defend Huayan Peak and Wulong Mountain. The southern border did not count, and he could not do much in the capital.
“Sigh.” He exhaled heavily. “Send Prince De to the southern border immediately, and withdraw all our people from the southern border.”
Since the old Emperor wanted to rule half of the southern border, Qian Jiyun would return it to him and see whether they could handle it.
He had been protecting Daqing Kingdom, but the Emperor stabbed him in the back!
