Chapter 152 City Array
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
With the prince's approval, it doesn't count as saying the wrong thing!
Yang Jianwu realized that she hadn't yet explained things clearly to Mo Ye, and it wouldn't be right to expect his subordinates to obey her. She needed to find an opportunity to explain as soon as possible! She awkwardly laughed and said, "Don't listen to your prince's nonsense. A servant doesn't serve two masters. You will always be His Highness Ning's most loyal bodyguards! Sigh~ How do you feel now?"
Hongnan and Hongbei focused their minds and sensed the surrounding area. Their internal energy had been restored, and their bodies felt cool and no longer hot!
"Your subordinate is safe and sound!"
"Your subordinate is safe and sound!"
"Then tell me why you two know Chinese medicine!"
Seeing that the two had recovered, Mo Ye immediately ordered them to recount what had happened. Hong Nan and Hong Bei were carefully selected from the Dark Camp; was it that the opponent was too strong, or that his subordinates were too weak?
"Yes! My two subordinates followed the Nangong Yan brothers across East Street and into a small alley. When they disappeared at the end of the alley, we chased after them, but the exit of the alley had been turned into a wall! Even the way we came in was blocked!"
"We tried to use our light-footed skills to fly over the city wall, but we failed several times and ended up making ourselves look quite disheveled..."
Mo Ye immediately thought of "formation"!
"How did you get out? What kind of medicine did you take? When will there be an array in the city?"
"We should have been drugged while still in the formation. We tried to fly out of the formation, and once we reached a certain height, we felt like we were hitting a wall. After a few attempts, we started to feel hot all over..."
Mo Ye looked at Yang Jianwu, wanting to verify.
"It should be inside the formation. According to them, once you reach a certain height, you'll feel like you're hitting a wall. That must be some kind of hallucination that's altering the environment they can see!"
"That's what we thought too, so we used our internal energy to suppress the effects of the medicine and started trying to break through the array's core. We didn't expect to actually find it. We have to thank Miss Yang for her previous guidance. Without Miss Yang, the two of us would probably have been trapped inside and died!"
Yang Jianwu wouldn't take credit for it. "It's because you were willing to learn that you saved your lives! If someone was unwilling to learn, or lacked talent and couldn't apply what they learned, they would still be facing a dead end in this situation!"
Hongnan and Hongbei lowered their heads in shame. If they had noticed something was wrong and realized it was a formation, they wouldn't have been mistreated. It was their own fault!
"Little Wu'er, when shall we pursue Nangong Yan?"
Mo Ye was still worried about the two who had escaped, especially the other masked person. Who exactly was he from Nan Yue?
"No rush, no rush. Let's grab something to eat first. I have a bold guess: the place where Hongnan and Hongbei got lost in the maze is very close to their hideout!"
“How come you see?”
“Array formations aren’t set up on a whim; they must have been laid out beforehand. Their walk around there was probably to prevent anyone from following them! After Hong Nan and Hong Bei entered the array, they must have received the news! That’s why they noticed us later, released the Gu worms, and finally tried to lure us out of the city!”
"That's possible! Let's finish eating and then go look for it!"
"Hmm! And even if they want to escape back to their hideout, it will take time. To avoid our pursuit, they might even take many detours. Instead of wandering around aimlessly, they might as well treat themselves first!"
"Sword Dance is right, I'm still injured and desperately need some good medicine to recover." Puyang Xuan exaggeratedly showed everyone his injured finger.
Mo Ye chuckled, "Puyang Xuan, you're making a big fuss over such a small injury! Can't you act like a man?"
"What makes a man? Should I take off my clothes to prove it?"
Puyang Xuan even symbolically pulled open his collar a little, giving off the impression that he would take it off if you dared to say "I want it"!
Yang Jianwu looked at the exposed collarbone of Puyang Xuan, where the delicate, smooth skin around his collarbone appeared even whiter under the sunlight, and couldn't help but exclaim, "So white!"
Mo Ye reached out and covered Yang Jianwu's eyes, turned her around, and glared at Puyang Xuan with a warning look, "Hurry up and put on your clothes!"
Pu Yangxuan was in a good mood. He slowly straightened his clothes, walked up to Yang Jianwu with a smile, and said in an ambiguous tone, "If you want to see, I can find you tonight and let you see as much as you want."
Yang Jianwu kicked Puyang Xuan in the back of the knee, "Say that again and I'll send you to a brothel! Let thousands of people see you!"
Puyang Xuan pretended to clutch his heart, "Jianwu, you can't be that heartless, can you?"
"You're wrong, you haven't seen how ruthless I am! If you make me unhappy, I'll beat even the King of Heaven himself!"
After Yang Jianwu finished speaking, she thought of Mo Ye and chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe~ Brother Ye, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just using an analogy!"
Mo Ye smiled and said, "He is my father, and you are my queen. You will also have to call him father in the future. You should be careful with your words so that no one with ulterior motives can find a handle against you."
"Um... Brother Ye, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately. Why don't we let them go first and then we'll go to the back?"
Mo Ye had no objection and gestured for Hong Nan and Hong Bei to leave first. Pu Yangxuan stood to the side, unwilling to leave, but Yang Jianwu pushed him forward a few steps, saying, "Go and order first, we'll be there soon!"
