Xue Chen felt something was wrong during the trip to Baozhen Temple. He could not sit still and finally spent 50,000 taels to buy the news from Bafanglou.

Shuangjiang sent people to follow him. As soon as he came out of Bafang Building, Jiang Xue Ning received the news.

"It seems like he can't help but attack us." Bai Yu said.

Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "Words are not enough, so let's lure the snake out of its hole and invite Her Royal Highness to watch a big show. This can be regarded as my sincerity."

After Xuechen got the silver, he immediately sent someone to Fenglin Street to inquire about the news.

Soon the spy came back and said, "A new family has indeed moved into the end of the alley at Fenglin Street, which is consistent with the news from Bafanglou."

The Snow Tribe's Left Envoy asked, "Son, what are you going to do?"

"We need to test their strength. It would be even better if we can seize the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop." There was a murderous intent in his eyes.

His original plan was to use Shen Zhaoyan to lure people into the valley and kill them. Now that Shen Zhaoyan caught the eye of the princess, he had to change his plan.

Once the princess really becomes interested in Shen Zhaoyan and brings him to her side, it will be very disadvantageous for him.

Now he can only strike first and take the risk.

"I will go to the Second Prince to borrow some manpower. This time, we must kill the King of Xiang here."

To be on the safe side, he specially chose a day when Yaruo took his men out hunting.

It was cloudy and rainy that day.

Jiang Xue Ning and Princess Ya Ruo were drinking tea on the upper floor of the house diagonally opposite the one they lived in. An old couple originally lived here, and she bought the house just to watch today's show.

The window was open, and there was a chessboard on the table, so one could look out and have a good view of the entire courtyard.

Yaruo asked enthusiastically, "Can your people hold out? Do you need me to send someone to help you?"

She felt heartbroken when she talked about this. For today's game, she even spent money to get in touch with the assassins who were carrying out missions nearby, as well as some martial artists, through the Bafang Building.

She spent money to hire a killer, so in addition to the people she brought with her, there were also a group of killers and martial artists lurking in the courtyard.

Bingtong wore a veil and dressed up as her, waiting in the yard.

"Spend money to avoid disaster, Your Highness, just watch the show." She said casually.

The two of them were drinking tea and playing chess while the rain outside the window was getting heavier.

In the rain and fog, the courtyard was surrounded and the sound of fierce fighting was heard.

Xue Chen naturally couldn't go there himself, so he stood under a locust tree holding an oil-paper umbrella.

They could just see him from here. Yaruo sneered, "It's really him. He was so lifeless last night, but he is full of energy today."

The fighting continued in the heavy rain.

The female guard at the side narrowed her eyes and said, "Your Highness, there are a few people I've seen. Why do they look like people from the Second Prince's side?"

Because the Second Prince and she had never gotten along, and the two sides had fought each other many times, they naturally knew each other very well.

Yaruo sneered and said, "He really has an affair with the Second Prince. This prince will definitely make him pay. He dares to plot against me and even wants to get his hands on Chaoyun."

The Chaoyun Kingdom has always respected the strong, and the Snow Clan's methods are the most shameful.

Jiang Xue Ning took the opportunity to remind him, "He is plotting against Chaoyun. There should be other people lurking in Chaoyun Country. Your Highness should be careful."

In order to show her sincerity, she showed her the files of the Xiangchu "Snow Clan Case".

It must be said that it was shocking to watch. To sneak into the local powerful families quietly was a very frightening practice.

Yaruo nodded and said carefully, "I will arrange for someone to investigate thoroughly."

She didn't want Chaoyun Country to be turned into a sieve by the Snow Clan right under her nose.

The fight continued. Xuechen frowned under the locust tree. "Why isn't it over yet?"

Logically speaking, they had overwhelming numbers, so even if the other side was strong, they wouldn't be able to hold out for that long.

The left envoy whispered, "Something is not right. I will go and take a look."

Soon, the left envoy came out with a knife in hand and said, "We've fallen into a trap. The other side has a lot of people, and from the looks of it, they look like assassins and martial artists."

Xuechen's expression changed slightly, "Let's go."

He mounted his horse and was about to leave when a sharp arrow shot out from the air and hit his shoulder.

"Son!"

He was pulled off his horse and protected. He looked in the direction where the arrow came from and was met with a pair of icy cold eyes with a veil covering his face.

The moment he looked over, the window closed. When they looked at each other, it seemed as if time was an illusion.

He covered his shoulder with his hands and said, "Jiang Xue Ning..."

The left emissary immediately said, "I will have someone arrest him."

"No need, let everyone retreat." Xue Chen said with a wry smile, "This time, we fell into a trap."

He didn't expect that he would lose so quickly in Chao Yun's game.

"Does she already know my identity..."

If so, it would be troublesome. It would be best if you just noticed something was wrong and set a trap to fight back.

The rain stopped, and the fight ended with Xuechen leaving injured.

Jiang Xue Ning reached out and opened the window again, only to see Feng Er flying over happily and landing on her shoulder.

"Tsk tsk, he shot an arrow at him right away, very neat." Yaruo asked, "Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"

Jiang Xue Ning smiled faintly, "The King of Yunzhou has been found. The worst that can happen is that I can just take him and leave."

"You are not being honest. You clearly want Xuechen to die."

She did not deny it, but raised her eyebrows and kicked the snowball back, "Of course I want him to die, but this is Chaoyun Country, so it depends on what your Highness thinks."

Yaruo's attitude is crucial. If she also wants to kill Xuechen, then things will be much easier.

On the contrary, if she hadn't made up her mind, she didn't want to waste time here.

This time, she took the opponent by surprise and won a counterattack. From the overall situation, Xue Chen had been planning this for a long time and had a deeper foundation than hers.

It was too passive for her and Shen Zhaoyan to be trapped here at the same time, which was not a good thing. If she wanted him to die, there were plenty of opportunities and ways, and she didn't necessarily have to fight him to the death here.

Yaruo naturally understood her implied meaning and concerns, but this matter involved the second prince, so she had to carefully consider what would be beneficial to her.

She said, “I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible.”

"I will wait for your Highness's reply."

The two drank another cup of tea and talked for a while. Yaruo was about to leave, and she said, "As for the King of Yunzhou, please keep him safe."

"Don't worry, I'm here. Xuechen, don't try to do anything rash." Yaruo sighed, "It's Duo Liya who should be sad."

Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "The little princess is innocent and will meet her true lover."

She didn't hate the princess, it's just that she fell in love with a handsome man at an early age and was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

She is not vicious, she is just too stubborn when she is in love.

The rain stopped and the sun came out, but Xuechen's heart was shrouded in a layer of haze.
