Chapter 1030 Encounter in a Dream 2
Baili Chuan shouted to the servants beside him, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and arrest Baili Shang and Danji Aruan."
Jiang Fenghua dared to come to the Baili family because she was prepared. She said to Baili Chuan, "Young Master, don't you want to see what Patriarch Mu Qi and my father are doing with City Lord Baili? Do you really not know anything about what your Baili family and those two families are doing behind the scenes?"
How could Bailichuan not know?
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "What do you know?"
Jiang Fenghua shouted, "Do I need to publicize what you three families did to Queen Ashina? You stole the Queen's rebirth secret technique to keep it for yourselves. At this time, my father and Patriarch Mu Qi are probably already fighting with Lord Baili! Your Baili family wants to embezzle the secret technique and seize the throne of Yinchuan Kingdom!"
Baili Chuan hurriedly said, "Danji Aruan, what nonsense are you talking about? There's nothing to it. Don't forget that you are also a daughter of the Danji family. What good will it do your Danji family to spread these rumors?"
Just then, a crowd gradually gathered in front of the Baili family's house. Some people pointed and whispered inside, and when they saw that Danji Aruan was also at the Baili family's house, everyone crowded closer to discuss it.
Baili Chuan looked at Danji Aruan angrily and said, "Did you bring these people outside?"
“Yes!” Jiang Fenghua said calmly.
"Are you crazy?" Baili Chuan couldn't believe she would do such a thing. Wasn't she afraid of being driven to her death by gossip?
She didn't argue with Baili Chuan, and pulled Xie Shang inside. The guards who were going to surround them had all gone out to block the people outside the gate.
Xie Shang asked, "How did you lead the people to Baili's house?" He was just thinking that he had seen Danji Aruan before he left home, and when Jiang Fenghua had entered her body.
"Whether it's a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, silver is always the best thing. Money makes the world go round. Besides, I told them that Lord Baili has the art of rebirth and that he wants to bring Young Master Ayu back to life. Everyone wanted to see the excitement, so naturally they all came."
Xie Shang asked in confusion, "So the person I just saw was actually you, not Danji Aruan. You didn't recognize me."
He was a little angry, but he was the one who recognized her first.
Jiang Fenghua said, "How was I supposed to know it was you back then? I needed to find a way to go to the Baili family. Baili Shang is not favored in the Baili family, so he would definitely be blocked if he went there. That's why I thought of going to find Danjimai and Muqi's family together."
Jiang Fenghua briefly recounted what had happened: "When I arrived at Danji's house, I deliberately let Mu Qirou see me. Then I whispered in Danji Mai's ear, and I didn't expect Danji Mai to get anxious too. I knew Mu Qirou would definitely eavesdrop, and sure enough, not long after, our conversation was 'accidentally' overheard by Mu Qirou and spread to the Mu Qi family. So the head of the Mu Qi family quickly arrived at the Baili family. We happened to meet outside the Baili family's gate, and the two old foxes brazenly entered under the pretense of visiting the city lord of Baili."
She sighed, "Mu Qirou's heart has always been with the Mu Qi family. Although she and Danjimai are husband and wife, they are only on the surface but not on the inside."
Xie Shang gave her a thumbs up. "Smart. All three families must want to compete for the Ashina clan's rebirth technique. It's just that the Baili family is the city lord, so the secret technique is with the Baili family. In fact, the other two families have been itching to get their hands on it for a long time."
“The palace layout in Xichuan is that of the Baili family, but there are no traces of the Baili family, which means that none of the Baili family members survived. However, Danji Mai has hung up portraits of the Danji family members all over the Baili family. His desire to become the city lord has been hidden for a long time,” Jiang Fenghua said.
Taking advantage of the chaos outside, they made their way inside. Even though Baili Shang had no power or influence, he was still the fifth master of the Baili family, and no one stopped them along the way.
Just then, a quarrel broke out.
The head of the Mu family said, "The city lord cannot use secret techniques to revive young master A-Yu. The Queen's people are searching everywhere for the murderer. Aren't you harming us by doing this?"
Danjimai then said in a feigned manner, "Brother Muqi should also understand the city lord's love for his son. Since there is a way to save Young Master Ayu, why not use it?"
Lord Baili, who had been bedridden, only got up to greet them upon hearing of their arrival. He found their words utterly baffling and quickly closed the door, angrily saying, "Who told you that I, the city lord, was going to use a secret technique to revive A Yu? Who did you hear that from? The situation outside is so tense, with the Queen's spies everywhere. Didn't we agree long ago to keep this a secret, that only the three of us would know? Now you come here so aggressively to question me, aren't you afraid that the Queen's people will come knocking on our door?"
Danji Mai said, "The city lord didn't intend to use a secret technique to revive Young Master Ayu, so why are people outside saying that the city lord wanted to use a secret technique to save him!"
"How should I know?" City Lord Baili roared, coughing incessantly. Patriarch Mu Qi said, "There's no smoke without fire. City Lord, your son just died. You really haven't considered using a secret technique to revive Young Master A Yu? I certainly don't believe it."
Lord Baili has been ill these past few days due to the grief of losing his son. In fact, he had considered using a secret technique to revive A Yu, but he couldn't understand the technique. With the situation outside so tense, they dared not expose themselves. He then asked, "Who is spreading these messages outside?"
The head of the Mu family said urgently, "Didn't the news come from your Baili family?"
"Bullshit!" Lord Baili cursed angrily.
At this moment, he also thought of a very thorny problem: "There are really rumors outside. If that's true, the Queen's people will find this place soon. If they find the secret technique, before we even enter the royal city, I'm afraid the Queen's people will wipe us out first."
Patriarch Mu Qi asked, "Then what should we do?"
Danjimai didn't speak. He thought of what Aruan had said in his ear, and his heart was pounding with fear that the Baili family might have embezzled the secret technique.
However, they were all involved in the theft of the secret technique from the royal city, but in the end, the city lord of Baili took all of it for himself.
The city lord of Baili City said coldly, "The Ashina tribe has long been dissatisfied with the Baili family continuing to be the city lords of Licheng. Perhaps they deliberately spread the news to try to eliminate us."
The head of the Mu family was somewhat frightened. They wanted to rebel, but the time was not yet ripe. If they exposed themselves now, how could they fight against the Queen? He said, "What should we do now? Lord City Lord, please make a decision."
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the City Lord of Baili. He had long been dissatisfied with the Ashina clan for seizing the throne of Yinchuan Kingdom, and he was even more resentful that they had to bow down to a woman. "If they dare to come, we will fight them directly. Brother Muqi, go back and gather your Muqi family's army. Now that we have made preparations for so many years, it is time to take back everything that belongs to us."
Danjimai remained silent.
