Chapter 587 Forgot to Conceal One's Talents
Xing Jun was shocked and turned his head to look at Yi Moxu, only to see Yi Moxu's lips slightly upturned in a smile.
Ok?
Xing Jun was even more shocked.
He has been by this lord's side for nearly ten years. Does this lord still have a time to laugh like this?
He laughed...like a cat that had just stolen some fish.
It took Xing Jun quite a while to fully process the news.
"But...you have absolutely no memory of what happened five years ago, right? You have no idea what happened or what was going on back then?"
"So, what's your current situation?"
Yi Moxu understood what Xing Jun meant: "I went to Wangjing City before and changed my identity to enter the Ye Mansion. At first, I didn't know that she was the same person from five years ago, and I thought she was quite interesting."
"Intelligent and resourceful, yet extremely adept at concealing his true abilities and playing dumb to outsmart others."
"So I started paying more attention to her..."
Xing Jun's eyes widened: "Oh no, so you're interested in her? My God, a once-in-a-millennium iron tree blooming, what a wonder of the world!"
Yi Moxu did not deny it: "So if you see someone in the future, be more polite to her."
"Of course, after all, Your Excellency has already spoken up and personally declared that she is my sister-in-law."
As Xing Jun spoke, he suddenly remembered something else: "But if she is my sister-in-law, why is she in the army of the Siyou Kingdom on the other side?"
When Xing Jun asked about this, He Chang'an lowered his head and chuckled, "That's called romance, you wouldn't understand."
"..."
Xing Jun looked at He Chang'an with a resentful expression: "I feel like you're targeting me."
"Yeah, that's right. You're already twenty-one and still not married. Who else should I target if not you?"
"Your Excellency is older than me, yet you are still not married?"
Xing Jun almost instinctively retorted.
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Moxu turned to look at him and said, "My child is four years old and is currently in Wangjing."
"..."
Xing Jun gritted his teeth: "Fine, you're better."
Yi Moxu nodded in satisfaction before turning her head away again.
The formation has been broken, and the poisonous smoke has completely dissipated.
Yi Moxu turned around: "Order the troops to withdraw and go back."
Xing Jun responded, "Withdraw the troops."
The soldier holding the flag raised it and waved it in the air.
The soldiers in the forest quickly withdrew from the dense woods.
Xing Jun followed Yi Moxu down the city wall: "No wonder. I was wondering what's been going on with you lately. You came back, but you acted like you were toying with a cat when facing the Siyou Kingdom's army, teasing them every now and then. Oh, I see..."
Ye Qing'an was unaware of the conversation that had taken place on Anzhi City because of her; she only saw the rebel army withdraw from the dense forest.
Ye Qing'an did not pursue, but only glanced in that direction from the air before withdrawing her spiritual power and landing on the ground.
"Are you alright now?" the crown prince asked, looking as if he was still shaken.
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, the poisonous smoke has dissipated, but the rebels have all withdrawn."
"That's good." The Crown Prince took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly. "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
The Crown Prince looked up at Ye Qing'an and said, "Thanks to you today, you've worked hard. Now that the rebels have left, let's retreat as well."
"We also suffered considerable losses today, so let's go back and rest properly."
"it is good."
Ye Qing'an followed him back to the camp and went straight to the central command tent.
As soon as the Crown Prince entered the tent, he took off his cloak and threw it to a guard beside him, then spoke directly: "The army must be reorganized. There are too many spies in the camp, and many of them disobey orders and act recklessly. This cannot go on."
"However, how to capture those spies hiding in the camp is a real problem."
Liu Enze nodded: "I guess we can only try them one by one."
"Test them one by one?" the crown prince asked, puzzled.
Liu Enze lowered his eyes: "First, find a definite spy, and then use the definite spy to lure out the others."
"But how can we determine who the spy is?"
Liu Enze ran his fingers along the embroidery on his sleeve: "Previously, I specifically instructed people to be placed in each of the teams dispatched today to monitor their every word and action."
"We don't know their current situation yet, but after I ask them later, I should be able to identify at least a few spies."
The prince's eyes lit up: "Excellent, wonderful!"
"Then let's do as the Grand Tutor says. First, find a few people who are confirmed to be spies, and then use them to lure out more people."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "That's one way."
The Crown Prince then looked at Ye Qing'an again: "By the way, at the very end earlier, I saw three beams of light fall from the sky. Did something happen in the forest?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "The rebels used the arrangement of the trees in the forest to set up a formation. Coincidentally, I had seen that formation in an ancient book before. It was a spirit-locking formation. The ancient book I read had a method to break the formation, so I tried to break it according to the method in the ancient book. Fortunately, the ancient book did not lie to me, and the method can indeed break the formation."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's gaze lingered slightly on Ye Qing'an's face: "Ancient book? What kind of ancient book?"
Ye Qing'an thought for a moment: "It should be called 'Hundred Formations Diagram'. I found it in the Ye family's library when I was at the Ye residence."
The Crown Prince pursed his lips slightly: "There are over a hundred formation diagrams in the Hundred Formations Diagram. Have you memorized them all?"
"How could that be? I couldn't even finish reading the book. It's just that because this Spirit Locking Array is the first one in the Hundred Arrays Diagram, I remember it a little better."
"That's quite a coincidence."
“Yes.” Ye Qing’an nodded. “It is indeed a great coincidence. If the formation had been different today, I would probably be powerless. However, we have Mr. Liu in our camp. If I am not able to do it, I can bring Mr. Liu up to break the formation for me.”
Seeing Ye Qing'an's open and honest expression, the Crown Prince suppressed the doubts that had just arisen in his heart: "Yes, Mr. Liu is indeed skilled in formations."
"Everyone has worked hard today, let's go back to camp and rest. I'll think about how to handle the follow-up situation more carefully."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an responded and withdrew with Liu Enze.
Liu Enze turned to look at Ye Qing'an: "The Crown Prince just now had doubts about you."
Ye Qing'an nodded and sighed, "It was my carelessness. The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't think much about it. I forgot to hide my strengths."
Ye Qing'an's face was full of helplessness: "I used to think that learning things was difficult. Now I realize that it's even harder to hide what you know."
The two walked a few steps together, when they heard voices coming from afar: "It's true, I heard it with my own ears. His Highness the Crown Prince heard the cries for help coming from the forest, but he ordered that no one be allowed to go to the rescue!"
