086 The clouds rise in the middle of the night (1)

Three days later, at midnight, Ye Jiaoxi and Liu Wuqing arrived outside the pine leaf forest in the west of the city.

Ye Jiaoxi turned around and said, "Brother Liu, just wait here. I can go in alone."

Liu Wuqing could only say: "You must be careful, they must be prepared." He sighed and added: "Actually, we shouldn't hide this from Xianxian and Master Yuan. It is always good to have more people to help."

Ye Jiaoxi shook her head, "Since you are going for Mu Ziling, don't bother them anymore. After all, it is better for Jianghu people to avoid getting involved with the court. You don't have to worry, Atuan and I will come out well."

Ye Jiaoxi walked into the forest. Under the dim moonlight, she scanned the surroundings vigilantly and walked slowly into the depths of the pine leaf forest.

The shadows of the trees are mottled, looking eerie under the endless night. The sound of the watch can be faintly heard outside the forest, but it is deathly silent in the forest.

One step, two steps... Ye Jiaoxi took one step at a time, tensing her nerves with every step, looking for figures as she walked. After about dozens of steps, a cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she said in a cold voice:

"I entered the forest alone, and there was only Brother Liu waiting outside. Can I show up now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, cold laughter came from all directions, but Ye Jiaoxi immediately looked up, and then found a man sitting on a branch with a black scarf covering his face, and Atuan was being crushed by him.

Bu covered his mouth and held it in his hands, whining, trying to struggle but unable to move.

Ye Jiaoxi's face suddenly turned cold, "If you put it down, can you give my child back?"

The man finally suppressed his laughter and said, "I left a note for Mu Ziling to come. Since he didn't come, I can't return your son to you intact."

Ye Jiaoxi said coldly: "Mu Ziling has never been a kind person, so how could he agree to such a thing? Since you left such a note, I naturally looked for him, but you also saw that he didn't come

.”

The man said coldly: "What? I have my biological son in my hands, and he won't come either?"

Sure enough, they knew about this. Ye Jiaoxi raised his eyebrows and said, "With so many concubines in the palace, is he worried that he will divorce his wife? Since he will not divorce his wife, how can he care about a son he has never met?"

The man grabbed Ah Tuan and jumped down from the branch, saying: "You also know that if I were just a Jianghu man, I would never dare to anger the Seventh Prince. I was just doing things for others, and the things were not done well.

, I can't explain it to the customer, so if the Seventh Prince doesn't come today, I'm afraid your son won't be so lucky." After saying that, he raised his sword and put it on Ah Tuan's neck, and the blade lightly scratched Ah Tuan's neck.

A faint red mark appeared.

Ye Jiaoxi's heart tightened, and the calmness that she had forced herself to have completely disappeared, "Put down your sword! What can I do if Mu Ziling can't come? If you dare to hurt Ah Tuan, I will definitely not let you go!"

At this moment, another man slowly walked over and said, "Brother, Mu Ziling is not here. Only Liu Wuqing is waiting outside the forest, and there is no one else."

The man stared at Ye Jiaoxi in silence for a moment, then snorted coldly and said, "I really underestimate Mu Ziling's ruthlessness."

The man who just walked over glanced at Ye Jiaoxi coldly and said, "Brother, what should we do now?"

The man looked at Ah Tuan and sneered: "We can't work in vain..."

Ye Jiaoxi suddenly became panicked and said: "What do you want to do! If you have anything to do, just come to me!"

The man smiled coldly, "Are you coming? Then I tell you, I want Mu Ziling's life. How about you trade his life for your son's life? My beloved son and my beloved man.

, I want to see who you will choose."

Ye Jiaoxi trembled. She forced herself to calm down and said, "I'm warning you, if you anger me, you won't end well!"

"What will be the outcome? Will he be killed? Then your son will be buried with him!" The man raised his head and laughed.

"Brother, do you want me to go to the prefect's Yamen and have a look? I don't believe Mu Ziling would be so heartless about his own son." Another man glanced at Ye Jiaoxi and said, "Maybe this woman didn't tell him that the child was

This is about him."

The man also looked at Ye Jiaoxi, nodded and said: "Okay, please pass on the message again, I don't want to work in vain."

Ye Jiaoxi frowned slightly, watched him slowly walk out of the pine forest, and said: "The person who calls you eldest brother must be the one who uses poison, right? Why don't you see Lei Xi?"

"Are you just chatting with me to kill time?" The man smiled, but the chill in his smile seemed to make the moonlight a bit colder. "But it doesn't hurt to tell you, he is the one who uses poison.

, and her ability is definitely no worse than that of Li Sanchi. As for Lei Xi, her disguise skills are so bad that you can see through them at a glance. I don’t want to work with such a useless person, so I will naturally leave it to the Lord.

Disposed of."

"My lord?" Ye Jiaoxi was startled, and suddenly thought of the man with the silver mask, and said, "It seems that you were not hired by someone with money, but were taken under his command." After a pause,

Then he said: "Let me guess who that is. He is from the court and dares to confront Mu Ziling. He should be a prince, right?"

The man was shocked and said: "I am not lucky enough to see the Lord's true face."

"With your skills, you could have made great achievements in the world. Are you willing to hide in the dark and work for someone who has never shown you his true face? Are you willing?" Ye Jiaoxi asked again.

The man seemed a little stunned, his cold smile condensed, and then said: "Are you sowing discord? Just save it, you should pray that Mu Ziling will come, otherwise I really can't guarantee your son

Can you live?"

Ye Jiaoxi suddenly smiled, looked behind the man and said, "I think he's already here."

The man was startled and turned around to look, but it was completely dark behind him and there was no one around. At the same time, Ye Jiaoxi suddenly jumped towards the man, so fast that he could only vaguely see a white shadow.

The man was startled and immediately raised his sword to greet Ye Jiaoxi. However, he was one step behind Ye Jiaoxi and saw a white silk ribbon flying out of her sleeve. In an instant, he rolled Ah Tuan over and then retreated a few feet away.

However, the man just curled his lips and smiled and said: "As expected of the Thousand-Faced Thief, I underestimated you." Such a smile made Ye Jiaoxi's heart suddenly sink, and she took off the broken piece that blocked Ah Tuan's mouth.

Bu called hurriedly: "Ah Tuan, Ah Tuan, how are you? Are you okay?"

"Mother... you are finally here. Ah Tuan is fine."

At this time, the cold flute sound sounded, and Ye Jiaoxi was startled. He glanced around, but saw no one around him. When he looked at that person, he saw his smile became even colder.
