Chapter 373 The opportunity has come
Jiang Ningwan seemed to be lost in thought. "They are only targeting you and me now."
"I don't know how many of these bugs there are. They can't all be used on us, right?"
She stood up and sat at the table, intending to discuss the next countermeasures with Qin Shuangchi.
Xiao Hei also jumped onto the table and started eating the meat.
Jiang Ningwan touched Xiao Hei's head and suddenly thought of something.
His eyes lit up.
"Oh, right? Xie Yongan said the cat was making a lot of noise at night, so he asked Zhou Yu to deal with it. He could have just chased it away, but he insisted on killing it."
"Could it be that cats are the nemesis of those bugs? That's why we have to get rid of them in advance?"
Qin Shuangchi was startled and looked down at the little black cat, "It?"
The little black cat seemed to know they were talking about it, and raised its head and meowed.
Qin Shuangchi chuckled, raised his eyes and said, "Why not give it a try?"
Jiang Ningwan immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll try!"
Qin Shuangchi was stunned and his expression became serious.
"I go."
After all, he didn't know whether the cat would work or how it would work, so he didn't dare let Jiang Ningwan take the risk.
Jiang Ningwan analyzed the situation seriously: "It's so late. I have a legitimate reason to go see Xie Yongan, but you don't. This will easily arouse Xie Yongan's suspicion."
"And if I get caught and Xiao Hei can't help me, then you can come in time and take me away to prevent me from saying anything I shouldn't."
After Qin Shuangchi thought about it, he felt that this was the only way.
Jiang Ningwan fell into the trap, and he could take her away by force.
But if he gets hit, Jiang Ningwan may not be able to handle him.
"Okay, but you can't go directly to Xie Yongan. There are too many people guarding his residence, and it's inconvenient to take action."
Jiang Ningwan took out a pen and paper and wrote a note immediately.
"That's not difficult. Just ask him out for a meeting."
After writing it, he asked someone to deliver the note to Xie Yongan's yard.
Jiang Ningwan set out and waited at the agreed location.
Qin Shuangchi picked up the little black cat and went to wait nearby.
At this moment, Xie Yongan was drinking in the room in a restless mood. The King of Chu and his companion were too difficult to deal with.
So many bloodworms were sacrificed.
Xiangsui was counting the remaining bugs in the box.
"There are only three left."
"I've been catching bloodworms for five years, and today I'm almost out of them!"
She gritted her teeth as she said this.
After hearing this, Xie Yongan's face darkened and he clenched his fists.
"This deal with Qin Chengqian is really not worth it."
"We haven't done the real work yet, and we're almost out of bloodworms. We must be careful with the remaining three! Use them on Jiang Ningwan first. As for the King of Chu, there's no rush."
Hearing this, Xiang Sui was slightly startled, "But isn't the deal between Your Highness and Qin Chengqian to deal with the King of Chu?"
Xie Yongan chuckled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook the wine glass. Jiang Xiru's face was even reflected in the glass.
"The one who really made the deal with me was Jiang Xiru, and she was the one who paid. Qin Chengqian? What did he pay? He paid for a woman he didn't love. It's not really a sacrifice."
"But I lost so many bloodworms. It was a real sacrifice. I did my best."
Hearing this, Xianghui suddenly realized that something was wrong.
I have never seen His Highness so obsessed with a woman. He has already got her. If it were like in the past, he would have forgotten about her long ago.
Hopefully, it was just a whim.
Just then, someone delivered a note.
When Xie Yongan saw the contents of the note, his expression changed and he chuckled, "Jiang Ningwan asked me to meet her. This is my chance."
"Take the bloodworms and follow me."
……
In the secluded garden, Jiang Ningwan had been waiting for a long time.
There are few people around here, it's very quiet, and the patrolling guards only come once in a while.
Xie Yongan walked slowly towards us, waving a folding fan.
"How could General Jiang have the leisure to invite me to admire the moon? It's so late, aren't you afraid of what others will say?"
Jiang Ningwan looked indifferent and sized Xiang Sui up with sharp eyes.
"I didn't invite the Fourth Prince here to admire the moon. I wanted to remind him to take care of his people!"
Hearing this, Xie Yongan smiled in surprise and glanced sideways at Xiang Sui.
"You mean her?"
"General Jiang, are you still angry about Xiang Sui's dancing in the palace today?"
Xiang Sui felt wronged upon hearing this and quickly defended herself: "General Jiang really wronged me."
"The dance we performed tonight was choreographed long ago. I didn't just dance in front of the King of Chu on a whim. It just happened that the King of Chu was sitting there."
"I am just a dancer and a slave. How dare I covet His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"
Xie Yongan smiled and poured a glass of wine, "Xiang Sui, why don't you apologize to Princess Chu?"
Xiang Sui picked up the wine glass and approached Jiang Ningwan, "Princess Chu, I promise not to look at the King of Chu again and never come within ten steps of him. Can you forgive me?"
Jiang Ningwan looked unhappy and glanced at her without taking the wine glass.
Xie Yongan coughed and said, "Princess Chu hasn't forgiven you yet, so you have to figure it out yourself!"
The next moment, Xiang Sui knelt down in front of Jiang Ningwan, took a few steps forward and grabbed the hem of her clothes.
Be sincere.
"Princess Chu, I apologize! I promise to stay away from the King of Chu!"
The moment it came into contact with Jiang Ningwan, a small red bug crawled onto Jiang Ningwan's clothes.
Xie Yongan spoke up for her: "General Jiang, Xiang Sui has already knelt down to apologize to you. Please be magnanimous and forgive her. I will keep a close eye on her."
As he said that, he poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Why don't I drink a glass myself and apologize to you!"
The master and servant worked in perfect harmony, attracting Jiang Ningwan's attention.
Soon, Jiang Ningwan felt an itch on her neck, and she knew it was the bug.
She frowned and wanted to touch the back of her neck, but Xiang Sui suddenly grabbed her hand, tears in her eyes, "Princess Chu, are you still unwilling to forgive me?"
Jiang Ningwan felt a pain in her neck.
He pushed Xiangsui away angrily.
He touched his neck, but felt something was wrong, so he leaned against the stone table uncomfortably.
"I'm going back!"
She turned and left.
Xie Yongan kept observing her expression, thinking that he had finally succeeded this time.
God will not let down those who work hard!
But Jiang Ningwan obviously realized that something was wrong, otherwise she wouldn't have run so fast.
"General Jiang, are you leaving now?" Xie Yongan stood up and called her.
Jiang Ningwan didn't even turn her head and quickened her pace.
Xie Yongan immediately winked at Xiangsui, and Xiangsui quickly beat the drum.
The moment the drum sounded, Jiang Ningwan felt that the road ahead had changed, and the surrounding environment turned into the Jiang residence.
Her willpower allowed her to see clearly around her. The road ahead was vaguely visible, and she stumbled forward.
"Ning Wan."
"elder sister."
Ling Chaowen and Ling Jinlan appeared beside her one after another, calling her and talking to her.
Jiang Ningwan firmly believed that it was fake, an illusion, so she ignored it and continued running past them.
Everything became like a dream.
For a moment, she couldn't distinguish reality from reality, and her mind was in chaos.
She stumbled forward.
Suddenly, an arm stretched out from the road, hugged her around the waist and dragged her into the grass.
"Ning Wan!"
There was a sound that seemed to come from far away, but she couldn't see clearly around her.
"Meow--"
