Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer avoided them, but didn't go too far. Instead, she led a few people to hide in a secluded place.

After ensuring her position was safe, she whispered to Li Qiuping and Chuixue, "Do you two have any ideas on how to launch a surprise attack on Yanling?"

Yanling dared to do this because he was determined to kill Yanqiu; in this situation, only one of him and Yanqiu could survive.

If Yanqiu didn't die, he definitely would.

But if Yanqiu dies, Yanqi may not necessarily take his life, since he is his only son.

Although his identity is currently unknown, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Yanling is not a descendant of Yanqi.

Fan Liuer was more afraid of something happening to Yanqiu than anyone else.

With Yanqiu dead, Li Chenbi is doomed. Yanling probably wants to tear him to pieces.

Li Qiuping learned martial arts from Li Chenbi since childhood. He was good at using a sword to attack, but long-range sneak attacks were not his forte. He turned to look at Chuixue.

Fubuki rolled up her sleeve, revealing a hidden weapon on her wrist. "I can give it a try."

As she spoke, she squeezed next to Fan Liuer, poked her head out, and aimed the hidden weapon in her hand at Yan Ling.

This was Fan Liuer's first time doing something like this, and she was very nervous. She reminded her, "Aim carefully, don't hurt the wrong person."

Fubuki nodded. She was skilled with hidden weapons, so this kind of thing was not difficult for her.

She focused intently on the people in the carriage in the distance, narrowing her eyes to lock onto Yan Ling's head.

Just as she was about to make her move, Fan Liuer grabbed her hand. "Wait."

Fubuki turned to look at her.

Fan Liuer suddenly realized that even though Yan Ling was no longer favored by Yan Qi, he had still been Yan Qi's son for over twenty years, so it was impossible for him to have no affection for him at all.

He disliked this son, but he absolutely could not tolerate anyone killing him; otherwise, Yanling would not have been able to successfully kidnap Yanqiu and rush all the way to this point.

Yan Qi has many capable people around him, and he may not be unable to find a master assassin.

If I were to kill Yanling now, although I would be saving Yanqiu, I would also be guilty of shooting the eldest son.

Li Chenbi will still be implicated by her.

"If we kill him directly like this, we'll definitely be blamed afterward. We need to think of a safer way," she whispered.

Chuixue withdrew her hand, waiting for Fan Liuer to give the order again.

Li Qiuping advised, "Madam, please don't dwell on this. Master will surely have a solution."

Fan Liuer looked at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "You know about Li Chenbi's matter, but did he foresee Yanling's sneak attack this time?"

Li Qiuping shook his head, "This was truly unexpected. No one expected Yanling to pull this stunt so suddenly."

Fan Liuer pursed her lips before speaking: "Li Chenbi is a human, not a god. There are times when he can't predict the future. If Yanqiu really gets into trouble this time, we will all lose our lives."

Li Qiuping understood this principle better than Fan Liuer, and upon hearing this, he remained silent.

Yan Ling's emotions grew increasingly agitated in the distance, and Yan Qi's voice rang out once more.

"Yanling, release your brother, and I will let bygones be bygones for what happened today."

Yanling laughed upon hearing this, "Hahahaha, yes, you really won't pursue the matter with me. You'll just exile me back to my ancestral home to guard that house and live out my life in poverty."

"Father, you have always been biased since we were little. You love Yanqiu, and no matter how much trouble he causes, it doesn't affect your affection for him."

"And me? No matter how hard I try or how good my grades are, you never give me a smile."

"On what grounds?"

"Tell me, on what grounds?!"

Yan Qi couldn't answer this question, and most parents in the world couldn't answer it either.

Does it need a reason to favor one child? Sometimes it does. Perhaps the favored child is more sensible, more outstanding, or more considerate.

But sometimes it's not necessary. Some people are born with everything easily, and they don't even need to do anything.

Yan Qi's silence only fueled Yan Ling's agitation, and he watched as the dagger pierced Yan Qiu's skin.

Someone beside Yan Qi urged him, "General, it's time to make a move."

Yan Qi hesitated to make a decision. Even though he favored Yan Qiu, Yan Ling was still his son.

Even if Yan Ling's identity is unknown at this time, so what? He has called him "father" for more than 20 years, so he is his son.

Although Yanling can no longer inherit the empire he conquered, he can still give Yanling endless wealth and honor for the rest of his life.

That's why he used that rumor to send Yanling back to his home, thus dispelling his idea of ​​competing with Yanqiu.

If he were willing to kill, he would have done so long ago.

Unable to make a decision, he turned his head to look at Li Chenbi beside him.

Li Chenbi sneered inwardly. This old fox, he was reluctant to kill him but wanted him to make the decision and speak up. If he regretted it later, he could rightfully pin the blame on him.

Li Chenbi pretended not to see it; he couldn't possibly take the blame for Yan Qi at a time like this.

He knew that Yan Qi couldn't just stand by and watch Yanqiu get into trouble, so the current gamble was on who would break down first.

The only thing that worried him was Fan Liuer.

I don't know if Li Qiuping protected her well.

She's so timid, she must have been terrified to see something like that.

These people are so annoying. They should just die already. They're making it so that he can't even be by Fan Liuer's side when she needs him the most.

Fan Liuer had an idea. She asked Li Qiuping and Chuixue, "With your martial arts skills, can you take care of those people around Yan Ling?"

Fubuki spoke first: "I have no problem with a sneak attack."

Li Qiuping carefully examined the people in the carriage. Yan Ling was only protected by two people, making a total of three people including Yan Ling.

He knew Yanling's skills; he only knew a few basic survival techniques. The other two were about as good as him. If he were to fight them head-on, he wouldn't stand a chance. But if Chuixue was there to ambush him from the sidelines, his chances of winning would be much higher.

He said, "If I team up with Fubuki, there won't be any problems."

Li Qiuping looked at her. "What method?"

Fubuki also came over to listen.

Fan Liuer: "Li Qiuping, you quietly approach the carriage later. Chuixue, you shoot Yanling's hand first. Then, Li Qiuping, you seize the opportunity and rush up to take care of one of them. Chuixue, you take care of the other one at this time. As for Yanling, his hand is injured, so Yanqiu should be able to handle him on his own."

In this way, even if Yanling dies, it will be at the hands of Yanqiu, and it will have nothing to do with them. Li Qiuping will even be rewarded for saving Yanqiu.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Yanling doesn't die. After this ordeal, Yanling will only be kept under even closer watch by Yan Qi, and he will no longer be able to pose a threat to Yanqiu.

Therefore, he would have no ability to threaten Li Chenbi.
