From the man in black, Ye Jiu learned that all the orders they were following came from the Crown Prince Residence.
Ye Jiu didn't know why the Crown Prince, whom she had never met and being a girl, would order her to be completely annihilated.
At that moment, Ye Jiu neither had the time nor the mood to pursue the reasons.
She only knew that whoever harmed her family, she would make them pay a hundredfold!
Having Qing Li set fire to the Crown Prince Residence was just collecting some interest in advance. Once she arrived in the capital city, she would make him pay for He's wounded arm, Ye Qinghua's hair, and the lives of those wrongfully killed, one by one, case by case.
In the past, she always harbored the thought of not wanting King Jing to come over, but now, Ye Jiu was somewhat impatient.
A night of pitch darkness and high winds was the perfect time.
Ye Jiu, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, had her hair tightly bound inside a black scarf, yet there was no disguise on her face.
Outside a secluded manor, Ada, also dressed in black night clothes, jumped out from inside the wall. "Master, there are a total of 6 people inside; they are all gathered in the main hall discussing matters. It seems they are discussing their next move."
Ye Jiu handed him a pill and instructed, "Throw this into their living room, and don't forget to take the antidote first."
Ada took the antidote and turned around to execute the order.
In the main hall, one person was reporting, "Sir, although the Ye Family is not to be feared, there's still King Jing's men guarding it. Last time, we sent forty men but only two survived. Now, only the six of us are left, and hoping to succeed seems even less likely."
The person referred to as Sir, however, scoffed coldly. "Useless, if you can't fight them, can't you think of another method... "
He hadn't finished speaking when his head suddenly felt dizzy. When he looked at the five people standing in front of him, they were all collapsing to the ground.
Even he, though he knew something was wrong in his heart, had no chance to flee and eventually succumbed to the dizziness, collapsing completely to the ground. This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
When Ye Jiu entered, she looked at the six people on the ground and scoffed coldly.
These people, when they received the command, probably never anticipated such a consequence.
Ada pointed to the topmost black person, saying, "Master, this one should be their leader." After all, he had clearly heard these people calling him Sir.
After a cold glance, Ye Jiu coldly commanded, "Then keep him. For the others, deal with them and drag them up the mountain to feed the wolves."
The coldness of Ye Jiu at this moment was something they had never seen before, for they had never regarded Ye Jiu as a cruel person, even though she was very unusual.
Yet, at this moment, she issued such a command without any hesitation.
It could only be said that their understanding of Ye Jiu was merely superficial; in fact, her heart was very cold, and she would not easily let anyone enter it.
She just hid it well, and others never realized it.
After Ada led the men to drag away the surplus people on the ground, Ye Jiu said to Xiang Nan, "You all go out first; I'll call you if I need something later."
"It's not safe for a young lady to stay here alone; perhaps it would be better for us to stay and protect you," Xiang Nan suggested.
If it had been before, Xiang Nan might not have been so cautious around Ye Jiu, but as time passed and he understood more deeply, he also knew that the girl in front of him, whom he thought was just an ordinary girl, was actually not ordinary at all.
And he had no capital to argue in front of her.
