Chen Yan
Chapter 276 At Your Disposal
Almost without thinking, Gao Minyue revealed an excited expression.
Her eyes darted slightly, and she suddenly raised her palm, about to pounce on Yu Qingwu.
Through the layer of gauze curtains, Qingwu clearly felt the strong force approaching.
She frowned slightly and carefully touched the brocade pouch at her waist.
She hadn't expected A-Yue to arrive so quickly. With Su Yan gone, she had no choice but to act.
Dealing with A-Yue alone wouldn't easily hurt the innocent.
However, just as Gao Minyue approached, a loud crash was heard.
Before Gao Minyue could react, Song Guan, who had suddenly stood up behind her, grabbed the back of her neck and, like throwing a dead dog, lifted her up and threw her heavily to the ground.
Song Guan's strength was immense. The moment she landed, Gao Minyue felt as if her bones were about to shatter.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, even more so in resentment, glaring at Song Guan. She was in so much pain that her body and soul were burning, but her face was still full of anger as she shouted at Song Guan, "You... you adulterer! You dare to hit me! Do you know who I am?"
Bang!
However, Gao Minyue's threat had no effect on Song Guan.
Before she could finish speaking, Song Guan stepped forward again and, with lightning speed, lifted her up once more. This time, Song Guan's strength was even greater.
Gao Minyue's tears rolled out of her eyes from the pain. She gritted her teeth and trembled as she got up from the ground.
"You woman, you open your mouth and make false accusations! Do you really think Song Guan is easy to bully!"
"I'm warning you, if you dare say 'adulterer' one more time, I'll throw you down again, until you are smashed to pieces!"
Song Guan gritted his teeth, his expression full of anger.
His attitude, with the constant use of "I," was completely different from before, showing that he really cared about being called an adulterer.
Yu Qingwu stood behind the gauze curtains, watching this scene, and a layer of cold sweat involuntarily formed on her palms.
You should know that A-Yue's strength was already considered outstanding among all the fellow disciples.
Although she wasn't the most agile, she always had an edge due to her natural strength.
But at this moment, in Song Guan's hands, she seemed to have almost no strength at all.
Yu Qingwu was stunned, and at the same time, she felt lingering fear.
If Su Yan hadn't ambushed Song Guan and Song Yilan from behind just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Even now, she somewhat regretted detoxifying Song Guan.
But things had already reached this point, and there was no room for regret.
After all, it was a miscalculation. Now, all she could do was try her best to pull Song Guan into her camp.
So, Yu Qingwu remained standing in place, but the jar containing the insects in her hand was gripped tighter and tighter.
The situation outside seemed to become more intense with Gao Minyue's getting up.
Gao Minyue rarely encountered opponents. Now that she had been thrown twice by Song Guan, she was already furious.
In her rage, she shouted that she was the princess of the Southern Yue, and the most beloved younger sister of the Wei Dynasty's crown prince, seemingly wanting to intimidate Song Guan.
However, upon hearing this, Song Guan laughed.
The anger-filled eyes suddenly burst into flames.
He sneered and cursed Gao Minyue as a traitor, then attacked Gao Minyue even more fiercely.
Gao Minyue was prepared this time and immediately caught Song Guan's fist.
However, Song Guan was not to be outdone. Seeing this, he kicked Gao Minyue hard in the knee.
Gao Minyue's leg buckled, and she knelt on the ground with a thud.
The moment she knelt, she suddenly lunged at Song Guan, intending to hug and throw him...
Seeing this, Song Guan immediately punched her in the head.
"Ah!!"
With a scream, the battle ended with Gao Minyue's defeat.
After only a few rounds, Gao Minyue, who had always been undefeated, was almost beaten black and blue.
When she looked at Song Guan again, her lips were trembling.
But she was still not convinced.
"Yu Qingwu! You bitch! I will definitely tell senior brother all the dirty things you've done, and see if he still wants you! Just wait to be abandoned!"
Biting her teeth, she angrily cursed Yu Qingwu behind the gauze curtains. Then, Gao Minyue limped out of the room.
Watching Gao Minyue leave, Yu Qingwu slowly walked out from behind the gauze curtains.
At that moment, seeing Song Guan, her eyes couldn't help but flicker.
But soon, she returned to her usual calmness, glanced at the departing Gao Minyue, and smiled very calmly at Song Guan, "Young Master Song, if you could help the crown prince eliminate the Southern Yue spies, would your father still look down on you?"
To be honest, Yu Qingwu initially only suspected that A-Yue must be related to the Southern Yue spies, but she didn't expect that the cook was actually a Southern Yue prince.
A Southern Yue prince and princess – this was a major achievement.
Perhaps, it could also lead to the discovery of more Southern Yue deployment strongholds in the Wei Dynasty.
Moreover, the more Southern Yue spy strongholds she controlled, the easier it would be to save Xie Jin-yan, even if he really encountered difficulties and was trapped in Yunzhou City.
In the current situation, the imperial court couldn't rashly launch a large-scale attack on the city. After all, there were still civilians inside. If they attacked, they might not be able to protect those members of the royal family, and might even cost the lives of countless civilians.
This was also why the imperial court knew that the "mountain bandits" were entrenched there, but had never directly sent anyone to attack.
But if they wanted to get the people out of the city, it wouldn't be easy either. First, the city gates were tightly closed, and second, even if the people left the city, they had nowhere to go.
But now, they did.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingwu's gaze shifted and she looked at Song Guan again.
Seeing that Song Guan's expression was moved, she asked him again, "Young Master Song, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Hearing this, Song Guan still didn't speak, only a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
Staring at Yu Qingwu for a moment, he asked her, "You... you really won't hurt my third younger sister?"
This Song Guan really cared about Song Yilan.
This reminded Yu Qingwu of her older brother.
A smile appeared in her eyes, and she raised three fingers and said, "I swear, if I hurt your sister, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. If anything happens to your sister, I will let you do with me as you please."
"You... what's the use of you swearing?"
"But... seeing that you are also dealing with the Southern Yue spies, I will agree to cooperate with you, and I believe you too."
"Who told us we're both Wei people?"
Song Guan's tone softened slightly.
You should know that the reason why he was not valued by his father, and even hated, was also related to the Southern Yue people.
If it hadn't been for those Southern Yue people who violated his mother that day, even if his mother's background was humble, she wouldn't have been hated by his father to the point of wanting the lives of him and his mother.
He hated the Southern Yue people more than anyone else...
Thinking of this, the anger in Song Guan's eyes deepened a bit, and he eagerly asked Yu Qingwu, "Your Highness, just tell me, what do you want me to do?"
