Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 565

Chapter 565 Abnormal Reaction
Seeing that Zhou Jingyan did not say anything, Rong Jin’s gentle face revealed a trace of mockery. Then, he said loudly, “What? Could it be that what His Highness the Third Prince said just now was just that he wanted me to suffer a loss? He only wanted to trade it for a city without pestering my wife? If he said it out loud, I’m afraid His Highness the Third Prince’s face would be very ugly, right?”

Zhou Jingyan’s expression was gloomy as he stared in Yun Xiao’s direction. Especially when she saw the ridicule in Yun Xiao’s eyes, He was even angrier in his heart. However, when he said those words, there was something strange. He coldly said, “For one person, gambling on a city is obviously not beautiful. If word gets out, it will make people laugh. For the sake of fairness, if I win, I will invite Princess Yan to stay in the capital for a month. But if I lose, I will invite Princess Xiao to stay in Country of Xiyue for a period of time. How about this?”

However, Rong Jin smiled coldly and said indifferently, “Why would the bet between the two of us involve someone else? If I lose, I will stay in the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for a month. If you lose, His Highness the Third Prince will stay in the capital of the Western Yue Kingdom for a month. How about this?” Let Xiao Yuqi enter Plum City? Rong Jin wasn’t that stupid.

Zhou Jingyan didn’t expect Rong Jin to be so troublesome. He was different from Rong Jin. Rong Jin was only the Swallow King now. The more the Yue Emperor was in the west, the more Rong Xun was in charge. Even if Rong Jin really entered the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it wouldn’t affect the overall situation. At most, the Yue Emperor would delay the war between the two countries for Rong Jin’s sake.

However, if he were to enter Country of Xiyue, then the Eastern Jin Dynasty would have no leaders. If anything unusual happened, it would definitely not be a good thing for him.

If there were ministers supporting the other princes, confronting them, facing internal and external troubles, it would be very difficult for them to handle everything properly at that time.

Zhou Jingyan’s expression changed slightly as he looked at Rong Jin and said sternly, “Swallow King, do you think I will fall for the excitement you used?” “Although there doesn’t seem to be any difference in these conditions, our identities are different. Even if you enter the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it won’t affect the overall situation. On the other hand, if I really fall into your trap, the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty will be in danger.”

Rong Jin smiled indifferently and whispered, “Your Highness the Third Prince is really funny. This won’t do either. That won’t do either. How are you going to gamble?”

Zhou Jingyan’s face was filled with embarrassment for a moment. Then, he said sternly, “I just wanted to test your bottom line. I just didn’t expect you to be so easy to test.” After he finished speaking, he looked at the guards around him and said sternly, “Hurry up and capture these two!” He didn’t believe that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao would be able to escape with so many people.

As soon as his voice fell, Zhou Jingyan’s guards immediately charged towards Rong Jin and Yun Xiao with their swords, charging towards Rong Jin without mercy.

When Rong Jin saw this, he quickly protected Yun Xiao behind him and stared sternly at the guards rushing towards him.

However, a strange scene appeared. The guards who had just rushed over were like a lost lamb when they arrived in front of Rong Jin. They seemed to have lost their way and could only casually raise their swords in all directions.

Because there were a lot of guards entering the formation, it was inevitable that some of the guards had already begun to fight.

Zhou Jingyan looked at Yun Xiao and Rong Jin in shock. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of disbelief. He said with an embarrassed expression, “What did you do?”

“I’m just giving you some back. Knowing that you’re coming, would we still be waiting here to be captured?” Yun Xiao indifferently looked in Zhou Jingyan’s direction, her gaze carrying an undisguised sneer.

Zhou Jingyan’s eyes became even gloomier. Then, he reached out to the hidden guard following behind the commander and said sternly, “You guys rush over from other places and capture Rong Jin and Yun Xiao!”

“Yes!” After the Dark Guard respectfully answered, they circled around Yun Xiao and Rong Jin from the side. However, after walking a few steps, they noticed that there was a formation inside. Even if they retreated, their reactions were too sensitive, so they weren’t trapped by the formation.

Zhou Jingyan looked at Rong Jin and Yun Xiao, who were smiling in his direction. He only felt that the two of them were full of ridicule towards him. Although he had brought a lot of people with him, he couldn’t get close to the two of them.

In this way, he could only wait patiently.

After two hours of confrontation, the first batch of guards who entered the formation had all died, leaving behind only some of the soldiers behind Zhou Jingyan and the hidden guards he had brought with him.

However, even now, Zhou Jingyan still hadn’t found a solution to the formation.

At this moment, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin completely ignored them. They sat upright on the ground and ate.

In the morning, Rong Jin went out to look for food, so he came back a little late.

However, Rong Jin still brought back a bamboo shoot. After the rain, some of the bamboo shoots broke through the ground and carried a faint fragrance. They didn’t have to be roasted before they could be eaten. He bit them raw and left a fragrance on his mouth. It also tasted good.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingyan’s expression became even more embarrassed.

At this moment, everyone felt an unusual heat coming from their bodies, accompanied by crackling sounds of fire. Turning around, Zhou Jingyan saw that the fire had already burned in front of them.

Zhou Jingyan was slightly stunned and said sternly, “Didn’t you say that there’s no need to continue igniting the fire?”

The hidden guards lowered their heads in unison. They didn’t know what was going on.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingyan naturally knew that he could not count on them. He looked at the burning trees with an embarrassed expression. It was only so far away that he could actually feel the fiery aura. It was as if he had roasted them on a blazing fire.

He looked around for a few times, but there was no place on the cliff to hide, let alone a pool of water.

The hidden guard looked anxiously at Zhou Jingyan and said nervously, “Your Highness, what should we do now?”

“Move closer to the edge of the cliff.” Just as Zhou Jingyan’s voice fell, a large tree fell straight in his direction. Zhou Jingyan felt his body and mind tighten, and then a faint sense of fear appeared in his heart as he quickly retreated.

“Bang!” With a loud crackling sound and a strong smell of burning, everyone saw that a large tree on fire had actually smashed into a place only ten zhang away from them.

Zhou Jingyan’s expression became even more embarrassed. If it weren’t for the Dark Guards protecting him, the Fire Tree would have smashed into him.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Jingyan’s breath was filled with a burning sensation. He felt that his clothes were inevitably charred, and there was also some heat. Zhou Jingyan only felt that his expression was even more embarrassing.

Because this fire tree fell, the rocks on the cliff trembled, and all the formations Yun Xiao had set up were destroyed because of a fire tree.

Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly embarrassed. She gently pulled Rong Jin’s sleeve, wanting to tell Rong Jin about this matter. However, Rong Jin did not turn his head. Instead, his pair of black eyes glittered with a dangerous aura as he stared at the fire trees not far away.

The harsh look in his eyes caused Yun Xiao’s eyes to tighten. He had never seen Rong Jin reveal such a dangerous expression.

After being pulled by Yun Xiao’s sleeve, Rong Jin immediately regained his senses and said with a peculiar expression, “What’s wrong?”

Yun Xiao stared at Rong Jin’s eyebrows. The expression in his eyes had returned to normal, carrying a faint indulgence. The dangerous look in his eyes just now also disappeared in an instant. The speed was so fast that even Yun Xiao felt as if she had an illusion.

However, Yun Xiao clearly knew that what she had just seen was not an illusion, but something that had really happened in front of her.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao’s gaze became even more strange. She always felt that Rong Jin seemed to have something that she hadn’t told her yet.

However, before Yun Xiao could react, Zhou Jingyan had already turned his head and looked at her dangerously. A bloodthirsty smile appeared in his eyes. Then, he tentatively ordered the soldiers to walk towards Yun Xiao and Rong Jin. When he discovered that the formation Yun Xiao had set up had been destroyed, his eyes revealed a strong sense of excitement.

He waved his hand and said to the surrounding hidden guards, “Hurry up and capture Yun Xiao and Rong Jin!”

As he finished speaking, half of the hidden guards beside Zhou Jingyan were heading in the direction of Yun Xiao and Rong Jin.

Yun Xiao’s expression changed slightly. Rong Jin frowned slightly. Then, he pulled out the soft sword from his waist and tightly protected Yun Xiao behind him.

Just as Yun Xiao and Rong Jin were unable to hold on, another fire tree smashed down and landed not far away from everyone. However, everyone seemed to be able to feel the entire cliff trembling.

At this moment, fire trees continued to fall in the direction of the two of them. The entire cliff was filled with cries of pain, shouts, and life-saving sounds. Most of the soldiers Zhou Jingyan had brought were smashed under the fire trees, and a few of the hidden guards were also smashed because they couldn’t dodge.

This tragic situation was something that no one had expected.

Zhou Jingyan was also hit on the wrist. However, because he was pushed away in time, he wasn’t severely burned. At this moment, no one was able to catch Yun Xiao and Rong Jin. Finally, they were given a chance to catch their breath.

Even so, no one dared to relax.

However, at this moment, another giant fire tree fell down. Everyone instinctively avoided it. However, at this moment, someone suddenly heard a sizzling sound. Then, a loud explosion sounded in their ears.

The moment Rong Jin felt the danger descending, he carried Yun Xiao and jumped down the cliff without thinking. Just as he jumped down, he saw the entire cliff. With a bang, sparks splashed everywhere. Black smoke rose non-stop. Along with a large amount of wood fragments with sparks falling down, there were also a few figures …
