Ye Qingchen said coldly: "Is it because I don't know, or I don't dare to say it, or... I don't want to say it?"

Jiang Jingwei hurriedly kowtowed again and said: "Princess Mingjian, Wei Chen really doesn't know. That Xiong Taiping is my bodyguard on the surface, but in fact he is completely beyond my control. Even sometimes, what should I do? , what you shouldn’t do, you have to obey his instructions.”

Ye Qingchen thought to himself, there are really too many things in this world that I cannot understand at the moment. If one or two weak demon cultivators were greedy for wealth and honor in the world, it would be understandable for them to submit to the royal power.

But a family of demon cultivators with the ability to make mid-stage golden elixir spiritual talismans could even directly destroy the entire Chu country, so why should they bow down and submit to the prince?

Although judging from Xiong Taiping's attitude towards Jiang Jingwei, they do not consider themselves subordinates, but may be more like a cooperative relationship. But why must this demon cultivator family cooperate instead of replacing them?

The demon cultivator wants to control the royal power, but he hides his edge and is willing to stay behind the scenes. There must be a deep-seated reason for this.

Nangong Feixue was shocked: "Is there such a thing? Aren't you equivalent to a puppet?"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Jingwei nodded repeatedly, "Take today as an example, even if the minister had a hundred courages, he would not dare to attack the princess. But Xiong Taiping is lawless and does whatever he wants with his powerful magic power. Fortunately, there are Mr. Ye took action to stop him. Otherwise, if he hurt the princess, he would not be able to atone for his sin even if he died."

Ye Qingchen knew that Jiang Jingwei was blaming Xiong Taiping for everything and only wanted to protect himself. Naturally, he could not believe everything he said.

But one thing is certain, the demon cultivator must have great influence in Chu State. It has even penetrated into all levels of the court.

Although the prince relied on the help of the demon cultivator to greatly increase his strength. However, the purpose of the Yaoxiu family is not yet known. Their infiltration in the imperial court should not be just for small profits.

Ye Qingchen thought of what Yan Guinan said, and continued to ask: "I heard that you went to Wufeng Gorge and stayed there for several days. What did you do?"

"Uh... this..." Jiang Jingwei lowered his head, unable to speak, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Boom!

Ye Qingchen slapped the Dragon Song Sword on the table and said angrily: "You bastard, you still dare to hide it?"

Jiang Jingwei lowered his head and said: "I dare not hide it from the princess and Mr. Ye. This trip to Wufeng Gorge was actually Xiong Taiping's idea. The reason why he stayed there for a few days was because he said... he wanted to arrange something... …What a secret realm.”

Ye Qingchen and Nangong Feixue were both surprised and looked at each other.

It seems that Yan Guinan's worries are indeed coming true.

"What secret realm is it?" Ye Qingchen asked.

Jiang Jingwei said: "Master Ye, please forgive me. I am just a mortal. How can I understand what Xiong Taiping did?"

"Why did he set up a secret realm there? Instead of choosing somewhere else? What's so special about it?"

"Uh..." Jiang Jingwei said in embarrassment, "Master Ye, I really don't know. He just asked me to go with him, and he didn't tell me anything else."

Ye Qingchen guessed that this matter must be related to the Yan family, but even if Jiang Jingwei knew the details, he would definitely not be willing to say it openly. After all, now that Xiong Taiping, a dead man, is serving as a shield, as long as he shirks away, there is nothing we can do against him.

He was unwilling to reveal the details, but he was willing to reveal the arrangement of the secret realm. Perhaps seeing Yan Guinan here today, he guessed that our relationship was unusual. He deliberately let me know that there was a secret realm over there. In fact, he was telling me that Yan Chaoyang's escort trip would be dangerous.

Based on my relationship with the Yan family, I might go to the rescue. In this way, you can drag me into the water.

Jiang Jingwei is indeed a cunning old fox. He wanted to use the secret realm to trap me, but he didn't expect that beside me, there was a Nan Peijue who could see the door to the broken realm at a glance.

Yan Chaoyang must be saved. When Ye Qingchen fought against the Taoist monks in Jinzhou, it was thanks to Yan Guinan and Tang Wenfu who took action. Later, at Prince Jin's Mansion, faced with the threat of Governor Jiajin and his troops, the two of them stepped forward to confront the officers and soldiers in order to protect Ye Qingchen from his injuries. Ye Qingchen could never forget this sense of loyalty and friendship.

However, there is no need for him to go there in person now. When Yan Chaoyang escorts the escort car, it will inevitably move slowly. As long as Wei Dali sends people to chase him, he should be able to catch up.

Even if we don't catch up, it won't be a big problem.

Now, Xiong Taiping, who arranged the secret realm, has died outside the secret realm. Once someone enters that secret realm, the only way to get out is to find the door to the realm inside.

With Nan Peijue here, this matter will be easy!

Ye Qingchen stood up with the Dragon Song Sword and said: "Jiang Jingwei, you have also seen what Xiong Taiping did today. He deserves to die."

"Yes, yes, you deserve to die!"

"Now, take me to his residence. I'm going to see his belongings."

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Jingwei seemed to be pardoned, but still did not dare to get up and looked at the princess pitifully.

Nangong Feixue approached Ye Qingchen and asked in confusion: "Master Ye, why are you going to see his relics?"

Ye Qingchen smiled slightly: "Go and see if there is any other evidence of evildoing!"

Everyone is dead, what evidence is needed? Nangong Feixue saw that he was unwilling to say it clearly now.

She couldn't force it, nodded slightly, turned to Jiang Jingwei and said: "Jiang Jingwei, I will spare you for today and put my head on your neck. If you are still dishonest and I find out, I will kill you!"

"Princess, don't worry, I will definitely change my ways." Jiang Jingwei kowtowed again, and a big bump appeared on his forehead.

"Get up and do whatever Mr. Ye tells you to do!"

"Follow your orders!" Jiang Jingwei tried his best to stand up, but his legs were already numb, and he fell down again halfway up.

Ye Qingchen approached Nangong Feixue and said: "Princess, Yan Chaoyang is escorting the escort to Wufeng Gorge. You order Wei Dali to send people to find Yan Guinan and rush to catch up with Yan Chaoyang. Don't let them enter the secret realm!"

Nangong Feixue nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I'll go right away. Mr. Ye, be careful too."

After Nangong Feixue went out, Ye Qingchen saw that Jiang Jingwei couldn't stand up and didn't want to delay, so he used his spiritual power to enter his body and helped him.

Nangong Feixue was right, Jiang Jingwei's head was just a temporary gift to let him live a few more days. Now is not the time to kill him.

The secret place he set up in Wufeng Gorge must have an ulterior conspiracy. After the matter is fully understood, it will not be too late to kill him.

After Jiang Jingwei stood up, he immediately regained his energy and thanked Ye Qingchen.

"Okay, okay, take me there quickly!" Ye Qingchen urged.

After leaving the royal palace, they saw a carriage parked outside the door, and a team of more than [-] guards waiting there. Ye Qingchen smiled secretly. There was so much movement in the palace just now, but these people didn't react at all. It seems that he doesn't really want to protect Jiang Jingwei, it's just a show.

A big man with a bronze helmet standing in front of the team hurriedly came up to him and asked: "Mr. Jiang, there seemed to be the sound of fighting inside just now. I didn't dare to go in without your instructions, so I didn't dare to go in. Are you okay?"

Jiang Jingwei coughed and said, "Xiong Taiping is so audacious that he dared to confront the princess in person and even attempted to assassinate her. Mr. Ye has already executed her on the spot."

"Ah!" The guards all looked surprised, and their eyes suddenly became a little more fearful when they looked at Ye Qingchen.

Jiang Jingwei personally opened the door curtain of the carriage, made an invitation gesture, and said respectfully: "Master Ye, please get in the carriage!"

Ye Qingchen smiled coldly and got on the carriage first. Seeing Jiang Jingwei lowering the curtain, he asked, "Why don't you come up?"

Jiang Jingwei smiled flatteringly: "How dare you ride with Mr. Ye?"

"Damn it!" Ye Qingchen said angrily, "If you don't take a car with your physique, if you walk, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach your destination even after dark. Come up quickly!"

Jiang Jingwei climbed onto the carriage with the help of the driver and sat down opposite Ye Qingchen timidly.

All the guards looked at each other, as if they were thinking, what is this man's background, why even Jiang Jingwei is so polite to him?

The carriage started and sped away.
