Chapter 641 Let Yunting handle it
Chapter 641 Let Yunting handle it
Although Yan Qing still had many doubts in his heart, he always listened to the prince.
Since the prince said that, he must have his own plan. He just needs to follow the prince's instructions.
The prince told him to inform Yunting, so he put on his usual beard and mask and got into the prince's carriage to go to the Jiang residence to see Yunting.
The guards of the Jiang residence had all seen him before. After questioning him, they took him to the training ground at Yunting.
Having passed the stage of strengthening physical fitness, Yunting is now teaching practical skills for guarding the house and protecting the property.
There were over a hundred people, some wielding swords, some spears, and some bows and arrows, all in roughly equal numbers.
This is what the prince once taught him: when one's abilities are insufficient, one should complement and cooperate with others.
Their every move was exactly like how Yan Qing and Yun Ting used to train. In an instant, Yan Qing recalled the time when they all trained at the manor.
Back then, Yunting was even more silent than he is now, almost never speaking. But when I slept in the same room with him, I knew that he would go crazy if he didn't speak for even fifteen minutes.
So, regardless of whether Yunting liked it or not, he kept talking to him.
At first, Yun Ting ignored him completely, until one day, Yan Qing couldn't bear it any longer. While Yun Ting was asleep, he lit a sleeping incense and then took the opportunity to move Yun Ting to his bed.
The next day, Yunting heard a strange yet familiar breathing sound. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw him lying on Yanqing's bed, with Yanqing casually putting one leg on Yunting's lap.
I've never liked being so close to people, but in a moment of panic...
"Boom!"
He fell heavily off the bed.
The commotion startled Yan Qing awake.
Seeing Yunting rubbing his head, Yan Qing mumbled sleepily, "You came and lay down next to me in the middle of the night, it seems like you were sleepwalking."
After saying that, by the faint moonlight, Yan Qing looked at Yun Ting, who was filled with shock and disbelief, with a smile, and put on a tolerant and friendly look, saying, "Actually, although you usually seem cold to me, you actually really want to be friends with me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come over to sleep with me in the middle of the night."
Yun Ting snapped out of her daze, got up, and returned to her bed without saying a word.
The next day, she acted as if nothing had happened the night before, remaining cold and distant, and refusing to speak to him.
That evening, Yan Qing used the same trick again, moving Yun Ting to his own bed.
Yunting's reaction was the same as the day before.
After four or five days, Yunting completely lost the will to resist. When she woke up and saw that she was still lying on Yan Qing's bed, she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
After half a month, Yunting probably couldn't bear the embarrassment any longer, so he asked Doctor Lu to prescribe some calming medicine. From then on, Yanqing stopped giving Yunting any more sleeping pills.
Their relationship improved from then on.
Yunting still doesn't know that he did it on purpose.
Back then, he always came and went alone. Despite being so handsome, he always seemed lifeless.
Everyone in the village has a bad memory. Yan Qing had a fever once and forgot about it. Although she couldn't understand them, she felt sorry for Yun Ting from the bottom of her heart.
He wanted to save him, at least to make him feel like a human being.
Although Yunting is still not very talkative, he can communicate normally with people and now leads a group of people quite well.
Over the years, although Yunting hasn't told him much about the past, the two have become the best partners. As long as they work together, there is no mission they can't complete.
Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to ask Yunting's opinion on whether the two of them should go to Prince Jing's mansion to investigate.
Perhaps, together they could defeat that person.
It was as if Yun Ting had eyes in the back of his head. Even though he wasn't looking this way, he turned around and walked towards Yan Qing after finishing a lesson.
"You're pretty good, now you're acting like a boss!" Yan Qing teased him with narrowed eyes. He didn't answer, his gaze falling on Yan Qing's arm.
What happened to your arm?
Yan Qing glanced around, took a step closer to Yun Ting, and said in a low voice, "Find a quiet place."
Yun Ting nodded, then turned and instructed the guards of the Jiang residence to practice first.
Yunting led Yanqing to a corner of the courtyard, where the blazing sun shone directly through Yunting's hair, casting a cool shadow on their faces.
"Recently, Su Heng's men have been trying to assassinate Xiao Chang'an, that peacock, but they haven't succeeded yet, you know that."
"Hmm." Even though Yun Ting was at the Jiang residence, she still had two people running around delivering messages.
“Last night I led some men to investigate the Prince Jing’s residence, intending to find out what was going on. I never expected that there would be such a master in the Prince Jing’s residence!” Yan Qing said with a solemn expression, “I reckon that you and Sister A-Qing are probably no match for him either.”
After saying that, seeing that Yunting was still looking at his arm, he raised his head and explained, "I was injured while protecting my brothers. But luckily I reacted quickly and only injured my arm."
Yan Qing patted Yun Ting on the shoulder and smiled, saying, "The brothers are all safe and sound, don't worry!"
Yun Ting frowned and hummed in agreement, then asked, "Have you found out who that person is? I've never heard of such a person in the Prince Jing's mansion before."
Given yesterday's situation, Yan Qing didn't even dare to glance at it, let alone investigate!
However, if Yunting were there, the two of them working together might be able to hold off that person for a while, even if he appeared. If all else fails, they could call Sister Aqing along; with the three of them together, he refused to believe that person could defeat them.
But to save face, Yan Qing looked away and said in a weak voice, "I haven't had a chance yet, but that person is very skilled. Maybe when I recover, the two of us can beat him together."
After saying that, he glanced at Yun Ting's expression, not wanting Yun Ting to see anything and laugh at him.
Fortunately, Yunting's attention wasn't on him.
"What did the prince say?"
Yan Qing relayed Xiao Yu's words to Yun Ting, and then asked him, "When will the training end? That person is too skilled, and you are one of the main guards. If something happens and you are not there, the Prince's Mansion will lose a great help."
Yun Ting said, "In such a short time, I have only taught you some basics and formations. Ordinary assassins can handle it, but if they are experts, they will need to train for another year or two."
"That won't do!" Yan Qing interrupted him loudly, her emotions appearing quite agitated. "The Jiang residence is certainly important, but our main task is to protect the Prince and obtain the Spirit Fire Grass from Prince Jing. How can we manage without you here!"
Yun Ting lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "I know. I will arrange the training. Of course, the Prince's Mansion is the priority. Today, I will go back with you to discuss the specific methods with the Prince."

When the two returned to the Prince's Mansion together, Xiao Yu had already woken up, and Su Lingyue was pinching his arm.
Upon hearing the guard's report at the door, Xiao Yu said gently to Su Lingyue, "Yue'er, would you mind leaving for a moment?"
"Is there anything I can't listen to?" Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression, her clear eyes filled with stubbornness.
Xiao Yu slightly curled his lips, "Discussing how to kill that person from the Jing Prince's Mansion is such a bloody topic, I'm afraid it will frighten the little thing."
Upon hearing that it involved murder, Su Lingyue stopped insisting and stepped back, letting Yan Qing and Yun Ting go in.
"Your Majesty."
Yun Ting bowed deeply to Xiao Yu.
The young man was dressed in a fitted black outfit, which made his figure appear even more upright, and his face was as cold and uncompromising as ever.
Xiao Yu looked slightly tired and asked lazily, "How have you been at the Jiang residence lately?"
Yun Ting lowered her eyes and nodded. "Everything is fine."
Xiao Yu opened his half-closed eyes and looked at Yun Ting, saying, "Yan Qing should have told you everything."
"Yes."
"What do you think?"
Yun Ting thought for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yu and said, "This person is full of mysteries. If we don't investigate him thoroughly, taking action rashly will only alert him. Right now, we need to find out where he came from before we can think of a solution."
Yan Qing took a step toward the bedside and asked Xiao Yu in confusion, "Didn't Your Highness say that it didn't matter who became emperor? Now you still want Xiao Changyu to be emperor?"
Xiao Yu explained calmly, "It's just a matter of preparing for both scenarios. No matter which side changes, our objective cannot change."
"Oh, I understand." Yan Qing nodded, then asked, "But we don't have a single clue about that person. How are we supposed to investigate?"
Xiao Yu looked tired and said, "Yun Ting, you take care of this matter. Yan Qing and A Qing cannot leave the manor. We cannot let anything happen to the Princess."
"Yes," Yun Ting replied respectfully.
"The Jiang family will be fine for now, so you can keep an eye on both sides. Report to the Prince Jing's residence immediately if there is any progress."
"Yes."
Xiao Yu closed his eyes and said softly, "I'm tired. You may all go. Let the Princess Consort in."
After nodding to Xiao Yu, the two left the bedroom side by side.
Xiao Yu looked at the two of them until Su Lingyue came in before he looked away.
Su Lingyue sat down next to Xiao Yu and was about to continue massaging his arm when Xiao Yu put away the coldness in his eyes and said gently to Su Lingyue, "Yue'er, you said before that Miss Qin had a miscarriage and you were very worried. Would you like to go and see her?"
Su Lingyue's eyes lit up. "I want to! The prince will let me go out?"
Xiao Yu smiled and moved his eyelids slightly. "When Yue'er goes, please pass on a message to Grand Tutor He, asking him to come over sometime."
"So, the Prince only sent me out to run errands?" Su Lingyue pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Her lips were rosy and full, with a faint sheen, like a freshly ripened fruit.
In the past, Xiao Yu would have taken the opportunity to bite the person and coax them back.
Xiao Yu smiled, his expression as gentle as a clear spring, threatening to engulf Su Lingyue. "But I only trust Yue'er about this matter, and only Yue'er can handle it."
Meeting those deep and gentle eyes, Su Lingyue was unconsciously captivated and nodded blankly.
