“I guess so, because this person has already been captured by you for three days. Three days is already the limit. If they don’t come to look for him, it means that this person has no value at all. There’s no need for you to keep him,” Yuan Hui said.
Hearing Yuan Hui’s words, Ning Yue suddenly woke up. That’s right. Jiang Ying did not think of Guang Yao’s identity as important. He felt that Guang Yao was just part of a side branch.
However, she felt that Guang Yao was an important figure. She even thought that Guang Yao was the crown prince of the previous dynasty.
Their thoughts should be confirmed tonight.
The three of them set up the scene nervously. Ning Yue had specially arranged for Baili to lie in ambush in the most important place, Guang Yao’s room.
Just as Yuan Hui had said, someone should be looking for Guang Yao tonight.
The three of them waited until the latter half of the night. Just as Ning Yue was about to get up and return to her room to sleep, there was suddenly a commotion around her.
She did not hear the guards fighting or shouting.
Ning Yue felt nervous when she heard a few muffled sounds, as if an adult had fallen.
This person must be an expert. To be able to make so many of the Dragon Scale Secret Guards fall to the ground without making any unnecessary sounds…
Jiang Ying reached out and gently held Ning Yue’s hand, trying to tell her that she didn’t have to be afraid with him by her side.
Ning Yue took a deep breath. At this moment, the door opened. That person stood at the door and listened attentively.
He sneered. “Looks like you’re all waiting for me.”
It was precisely because of this voice that the three of them confirmed Guang Yao’s identity at the same time. He was definitely not as simple as a collateral branch of the previous dynasty’s royal family.
He should be the crown prince of the previous dynasty!
Ning Yue turned on the flashlight and the strong light shone on that person. That person could not open his eyes.
“Were you guys waiting for me to come?” he asked again.
“What’s your name?” Ning Yue turned on the flashlight beside her hand. The entire room instantly lit up, as if it was daytime.
“Princess Mingyue probably doesn’t just want to know my name, right?” that person said.
“Since you know all our motives and thoughts, agree obediently,” Yuan Hui said.
The man sneered. “I don’t know what your goal is. All I know is that I’m here to save someone. You tried to stop me.”
“Then go back. We don’t have anyone you want to save here,” Yuan Hui said.
“Let’s not beat around the bush. Where did you put my master? Why did you arrest my master?” The man sounded a little angry.
“Who are you and who’s your master?” Yuan Hui asked again.
Actually, these answers had long been in their hearts, but they still had to verify them from that person.
“My master is Guang Yao. I’m Zuo Ling,” the man said.
“So it’s Lord Zuo Ling. Excuse me for being disrespectful,” Yuan Hui said.
When that person heard this, he suddenly laughed and said to Yuan Hui, “The emperor of Russia is indeed as the rumors say. He’s knowledgeable about both the past and present. You actually know my name.”
Yuan Hui smiled. “Lord Zuo Ling is the most valued prime minister of the previous dynasty’s emperor. Of course, Zuo Ling is not just a person, but a famous name. As long as it’s the prime minister of the previous dynasty’s emperor, everyone will think of Zuo Ling.”
Zuo Ling’s expression did not change as he said this. He continued, “The person you want to save should be the previous dynasty’s emperor, right?”
“No, the Emperor of Russia is mistaken. I’m not the Prime Minister of the previous dynasty. Naturally, I’m not here for the emperor of the previous dynasty,” he said.
“Since Lord Zuo Ling is unwilling to tell the truth, please leave. We don’t have anyone you want to look for here,” Yuan Hui said.
He did not answer Yuan Hui’s words directly. Instead, he asked, “What exactly do you want?”
“You can’t give us what we want,” Jiang Ying added.
That person glanced at Jiang Ying and did not speak. His gaze landed on Yuan Hui again. He felt that only Yuan Hui could negotiate among the people present.
Yuan Hui knew his intentions and hurriedly said, “You shouldn’t look at me. Just answer the heir’s question.”
“So it’s the heir. I’m really sorry,” that person said with a sneer.
Although he said that he was sorry, in fact, his tone was filled with contempt. He did not treat Jiang Ying as a negotiator..
