Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

This is indeed the truth. The emperor paid a private visit incognito, so she cannot be accused of having some agenda in coming to Yanjing City just because the other party concealed her identity.

"Knowing your words." Li Yuqi gritted his teeth, his eyes became colder, and his patience was obviously exhausted. His voice was a little louder than before, "The Ji family in Yunzhou holds half of the wealth in Jiangnan, and is as rich as the country. Why is the girl so far away? Come to Yanjing City to make a small profit? No matter what kind of business you do in Yunzhou, isn't it better and more profitable than running a wine shop here where you are unfamiliar with the place?"

"Your Highness the Prince must not know that the Ji family has many rules. Children like us who are from the Ji family cannot settle in Yunzhou." She shrugged nonchalantly, but there was a hint of youth in her words. Frivolous, "I pride myself on being talented and intelligent. I feel that if I were born in the direct lineage, I would be able to take the position of Young Master. However, the current one is just a sideline... Then why can't it be me? I will I want to show the old lady that I can do better than her without the shelter of the Ji family!"

It seemed that the little girl had been stabbed in a sore spot. The seemingly flawless defense suddenly revealed an obvious flaw.

Li Yuqi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up - since the opponent was no longer invulnerable, there was nothing to worry about.

The last ray of sunset finally sank in the distant sky, leaving only a dim and gray color in the entire sky.Li Yuqi lowered his eyebrows and looked at Ji Wuyan, who had already regained his composure. At this moment, the other person's appearance was the same as usual, but for Li Yuqi, it was a little more cover-up.

He licked his back teeth and reminded the other party slowly, "This Ji family in Yunzhou is just spreading rumors to scare people. Speaking of this family... there are many in Yanjing City. Even if they are both from Jiangnan, no, Chen The family can be regarded as a powerful family. There are no weird rules in any family, but these rules...are not just for people to break! In the face of absolute strength, all rules are just paper tigers...nothing. Miss Yan, do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

Very clearly incitement and co-optation.

It is also an obvious temptation.

Li Yuqi's success today depends not only on the help of the left prime minister.In recent years, he has gained his own power in the court and a good reputation among the people, which he has managed with great effort.A person who has escaped countless open and secret attacks has his own vigilance.If Ji Wuyan easily agreed to his instigation and solicitation this time, it could only mean that the obvious flaw just now was really done deliberately by the other party...

After all, they had been at war with each other many times before. After all, he had arranged several assassinations against her. After all, the girl and manager of Fengchenju were all under his custody at the moment.

They... are enemies, not friends, and this war cannot be easily resolved.

"Ha..." Ji Wuyan chuckled, and his voice became louder as he smiled, as if he was extremely funny and happy.After laughing for a long time, she stopped, wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked at Li Yuqi sideways, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to turn our enemies into friends with me?"

Li Yuqi frowned slightly and asked, "Why not?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have made a mistake. There is no blood feud between me and the Ji family... I'm just not convinced by those damn rules. As His Highness said, in the face of absolute strength, rules are meant to be broken. ...And I believe that I have that strength." She continued to look at Li Yuqi as if he were a fool, "In the final analysis, the Ji family and I are still in a relationship where both prosper and suffer, but His Highness the Crown Prince and I are There is a little grudge and a little resentment that has not been sorted out. Aunt Chaoyun is now in the hands of His Highness, and the door of Fengchen Residence is still sealed for no apparent reason. His Highness is also charged with harboring a bandit."

"If I remember correctly... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has had murderous intentions for civilian girls several times. Halfway up the mountain, at Muzi Pharmacy, if the civilian girl hadn't had some three-legged cat skills, she would have been a wisp of smoke on the road to hell by now. The wandering soul is gone. Therefore, what His Highness the Crown Prince wants to do is to turn enemies into friends, but I’m afraid it won’t work.”

The little girl suddenly sprouted thorns all over her body. Her aggressive look made her dark eyes scorch in the night.This is the first time that they...have been so "open and honest".

Before that, they seemed to have maintained a certain kind of peace in a tacit understanding, just like the two ends of a scale, everyone carefully added and subtracted weights to maintain the balance of this scale called "face."But tonight, at this moment, Ji Wuyan was like a hunter who had finally lost his patience, and he put all the weights in his hands on it.

The scales are tilted high.

The balance is broken.

The mask of peace was finally torn away, revealing the reality of tension, tit-for-tat, and even life-and-death situations.

The evening breeze of autumn was chilly to the heart, and dew began to condense on the grass blades. The only sound left in the quiet place was the breathing of everyone. Most of the attendants and guards on both sides were on alert, worried that the two masters would fight each other at any time. .

Li Yuqi bit his back teeth. The situation was somewhat the same as he expected, but also somewhat different.

Ji Wuyan did not accept his suggestion of turning an enemy into a friend, but he did not leave the slightest sign of refusing to welcome him back. Such a long-sleeved man suddenly looked like a reckless man regardless of the consequences, or like a headlong rush south. Wall of stupid pigs.

He really felt that Ji Wuyan at this moment was... stupid.

He slowly took half a step back and looked at Ji Wuyan, who was holding his fists and holding his neck with a fearless look on his face. He sighed with some disappointment, "Miss Ji... I thought you would be smarter. That's it." At this point, you...have no chance to look back."

Naturally, a torn face cannot be put back together. There are some things that can maintain the illusion of peaceful coexistence when pretending to be stupid, but once it is revealed, everything will be gone.

Ji Wuyan pinched his neck and sneered, "Turn back? When the prince tried to take my life and destroy my property one after another, did he ever think of giving me some chance to turn back? Now he is pressing forward step by step and pushing people to a desperate situation, but His Highness blames me A common girl is so stupid that she doesn’t know how to turn around? A rabbit bites people when it’s anxious!”

"Besides...folk girls never think of themselves as rabbits."

After saying that, Ji Wuyan turned to Li Yuqi and bowed slightly, "Your Highness, the sky is dark tonight. If Your Highness wants to search for the bandits hiding in Fengchenju, please be more quick... It's just that Fengchenju is a wine shop, and the expensive drinks inside are not Master, when you search, be careful not to break it. Otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince should pay compensation according to the price."
