Chapter 200: The 97th Photo: Journey to Yuzhou (18) Kidnapping Chen Zihuan
Ye Qichi was somewhat surprised to see Bai Mowan appear.
She really hadn’t expected that Bai Mowan would come in person.
Upon truly seeing her, it seemed like a weight was lifted.
Besides fondness, Bai Mowan now felt gratitude towards Xiao Jinxing.
It seemed only natural that Bai Mowan would rush over directly to rescue Xiao Jinxing after several days and nights of restless travel.
Ye Qichi quickly stepped forward, "Miss Bai."
Bai Mowan was more surprised to see Ye Qichi than Ye Qichi was to see her.
She had not expected Ye Qichi to be here at all.
Xiao Jinxing came to Yuzhou City and actually brought Ye Qichi along with him?!
And reportedly, Ye Qichi was severely injured in the Imperial Palace while shielding the Empress from a sword, so how could she have come so far with Xiao Jinxing?!
Too many questions.
Her most pressing concern at the moment was obviously Xiao Jinxing.
She asked anxiously, "Where is Prince Chen?"
"He is with Chen Hezhi."
"Let’s go!" Bai Mowan did not delay and rode her horse directly forward.
Ye Qichi was about to speak, only to see Bai Mowan’s fading figure as she sped away.
"Little Wu, help me stop Bai Mowan!" Ye Qichi knew for sure that she couldn’t catch up on her own.
Having been in close quarters with Ye Qichi these days, Little Wu naturally felt closer to her.
On Ye Qichi’s command, he quickly chased after her.
Ye Qichi didn’t delay either, riding her horse forward in pursuit.
Bai Mowan was stopped by Little Wu.
Ye Qichi finally caught up with them.
Bai Mowan’s face was clearly distressed, "Chen Hezhi is a man of Prince Xiao Jinsen. He only obeys Xiao Jinsen, and it’s very likely that he’s about to rebel at this moment and he’ll kill Prince Chen!"
Meaning, Ye Qichi shouldn’t be stopping her from rescuing Xiao Jinxing now.
Ye Qichi understood Bai Mowan’s worries.
She quickly explained, "I know Xiao Jinxing is in great danger, that’s why I wanted to discuss the strategy with you in advance. It’s not just about Xiao Jinxing, right now the plague-infected people in Yuzhou City are also in grave danger because Chen Hezhi has ordered them to be burned alive. The situation is very critical! Our main priority now is to figure out how to swiftly and effectively take down Chen Hezhi and save the people!"
"My Bai Family’s army is brave and good at fighting, taking down Chen Hezhi will be easy!"
"I know, but right now we are outnumbered! Your main troops are at the back, what we have here is just a small part of the elite forces, Chen Hezhi, as the Military Governor of Yuzhou City, has his own military strength of six hundred. Fifty against six hundred, what are our chances of winning?!" Ye Qichi asked Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan’s eyes narrowed.
All along, she had never taken Ye Qichi seriously.
In her past life, her impression of Ye Qichi was not strong, knowing only that she was a foolish noble’s daughter. Xiao Jinxing married her only to use her as a shield; he had no real affection for this woman who also died very early without stirring much trouble.
In this life, she didn’t understand why Ye Qichi was still alive; even being alive, apart from being Xiao Jinxing’s Princess, Ye Qichi was nothing to her.
At this moment, her words did make Bai Mowan reconsider Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi could actually feel the change in Bai Mowan’s emotions.
Bai Mowan, being reborn, spoke plainly, both had NPC attributes, so she knew many things that others didn’t know, and also many things that haven’t happened yet.
In Bai Mowan’s eyes, she must still be that foolish noble’s daughter with no self-preservation skills and utterly useless.
The disdain she just had for her, Ye Qichi could feel it too.
Of course, she understood Bai Mowan. Bai Mowan’s arrogance was indeed because Bai Mowan knew exactly who "Ye Qichi" was, just didn’t want to waste time on her.
In her urgency, she again spoke, "Chen Hezhi’s importance to Xiao Jinsen over the years isn’t mainly because of Chen Hezhi’s capabilities, but because he set his sights on Chen Hezhi’s son Chen Zihuan. Chen Zihuan has been intelligent from a young age, adept at using tactics; many of Chen Hezhi’s decisions have been advised by Chen Zihuan."
Bai Mowan’s look towards Ye Qichi seemed to carry a hint of strangeness.
Being reborn, of course, she knew of Chen Zihuan’s capabilities; later, Chen Zihuan was directly assigned by Xiao Jinsen to be by his side, to serve as a counselor, and Chen Zihuan proved to be as sinister and cunning as Xiao Jinsen himself, colluding to help Xiao Jinsen seize the throne and kill all who threatened Xiao Jinsen’s power, including her, including her entire Bai Family, including Xiao Jinxing who died for her!
She had long wanted to kill Chen Zihuan!
Partly for revenge and partly to cut off Xiao Jinsen’s right-hand man!
