276 Things
That night, after Jiang Ying left, the Nine Gates Military Governor’s Residence began to look for her.
Jiang Ying kept looking for Ning Yue. The palace already knew, so he did not enter the palace.
Moreover, the emperor had already sent someone to search, and so had Yuan Hui.
Jiang Ying brought Baili to the suburbs. He wanted to start looking for Ning Yue, but he did not expect to find a man in black lying on the ground in a secret alley.
This person was the person Jiang Ying had sent to protect Ning Yue!
At this moment, the secret guard’s corpse was completely cold, which meant that something had happened to Ning Yue and a long time had passed.
After scanning the area, Jiang Ying realized that there was a ball of paper under the secret guard. It was the paper that asked Jiang Ying to attend an appointment.
Jiang Ying took a deep breath and decided to keep the appointment.
He ordered Baili to hide in the dark with his men and arrived at the agreed location alone.
Unexpectedly, there were already people waiting there.
“You really keep your word, Prince Jiang,” a man said.
The other party’s people were all masked and their faces could not be seen, but Jiang Ying saw Ning Yue among them.
She was pinned down by one person. Her hands were tied and she was covered in whip and knife wounds.
The dress she had originally worn to the banquet was already stained red with blood, and her face was pale. Jiang Ying’s heart ached.
Although Jiang Ying’s heart ached, he also knew that he had to calm down at this moment. Otherwise, those people might kill Ning Yue in desperation.
“Cut the crap and return my wife!”
“Then let’s see if the heir has brought what I want,” the man in black said.
“Are you crazy?! If you don’t say anything, how would I know what to bring?!” Jiang Ying was so angry that he almost rushed forward to strangle him to death.
For the sake of convenience, he didn’t bring anything valuable today.
Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, the other party was clearly choked, but he quickly calmed down.
“Yes, I believe you’ll know, Your Highness. I also believe you’ll go back and bring it over,” the man in black said.
“What do you want? Tell me,” Jiang Ying said.
That person laughed. “Prince, you’re straightforward! However, I only invited you this time. I didn’t invite the others.”
Jiang Ying’s expression changed. He did not expect the other party to actually sense the existence of Baili and the others.
For Ning Yue’s safety, he had no choice but to let Baili retreat first.
Baili hesitated for a moment before retreating with his men.
When that person could not sense the existence of Baili and the others, he smiled in satisfaction. “Prince, you’re indeed straightforward. I’m impressed.”
At this moment, Ning Yue woke up faintly. She bit her lip and looked at Jiang Ying with tears in her eyes.
“Heir…” Before she could say the rest, she suddenly frowned and took a deep breath.
It was obvious that her injuries hurt. Her face turned paler, and her beautiful eyes were filled with fear. “Save me…”
This was the first time Jiang Ying had seen Ning Yue cry like this. Clearly, she had suffered a lot.
Jiang Ying frowned slightly and looked at the masked man in the lead. “What exactly do you want me to exchange for her? Be more straightforward!”
“It seems that the heir likes your future heiress very much.” The masked man smiled and said, “What I want is the key to the Miracle Doctor Valley!”
Key? Jiang Ying was shocked. Only Gu Yu and he knew the secret of the key being in his hands. Even Ning Yue did not know. How did this group of people know?
Could something have happened to Gu Yu?
“You’re definitely not from the Imperial Court!” Jiang Ying suddenly sneered. “Looks like you’re from the Miracle Doctor Valley. How despicable!”
He did not want to give the key to this group of people, but if he did not, Ning Yue would be in danger.
When the other party heard Jiang Ying’s words, he was very angry. “Cut the crap. If you want to save someone, exchange the key for it!” As he spoke, the person took out his sword and placed it on Ning Yue’s neck. “Otherwise, the future heiress will die.”
Ning Yue’s neck had already been cut by the sharp blade, and blood was seeping out. She looked at Jiang Ying in fear. “No, Heir, save me!”
Ning Yue had never been like this before. Seeing Ning Yue like this, Jiang Ying suddenly felt uncomfortable.
“Don’t!” Jiang Ying stopped those people.
The leader smiled in satisfaction. “Have you considered it, Your Highness?”
“I promise you.” Jiang Ying gritted his teeth.
Not only did these people dare to threaten him, but they also threatened him with his beloved Ning Yue! If they dared to hurt Ning Yue, he would kill them!
The man in black was shocked by his aura and subconsciously moved his sword away from Ning Yue’s neck. He broke out in a cold sweat.
