Chapter 139: Believe It Or Not, I'll Die In Front Of Yo

n An'an's spine, and she hurriedly changed her tune, praising him with flattering words."It must be my uncle, the Regent of Beichen Kingdom."The more I look, the handsomer he gets. Just look at these...: []

On the mountainside of Qishan, by the lakeshore, over twenty men in black, armed with swords, faced the regent. Yet, they couldn't even muster a fraction of Beichen Yi's aura.

"Since you put it that way, don't blame me for being merciless."

The men in black looked at each other, a murderous glint in their eyes.

Today's purpose is very simple, to kill the dog emperor and win over the regent king as a puppet.

Since Beichen Yi is so stubborn, they needn't waste any more time on him.

"Kill!"

When the time came, the black-clad men swarmed forward like a pack of wolves, aiming to overwhelm Bei Chen Yi with their sheer numbers and kill him.

But who is Beichen Yi

The Regent King of the mighty Beichen Nation, a fearsome overlord who dares to lead his armies and crush other nations, is not someone that a group of petty assassins can stand against.

As the men in black fell one by one, the leader’s eyes grew increasingly frantic. He drew a poisoned crossbow from his waist and prepared to fire it at Beichen Yi.

Attempting to kill it with despicable means.

Just as the man in black was about to fire his crossbow, with a bang, a spark from the forest struck the man's brow.

The man hadn't come yet, and he was suddenly struck in the back of the head, a hole opening up. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.

The sudden noise startled the black-clad assassin, but Yun An'an, hidden in the darkness, wouldn't give this group a chance to recover.

One after another, several bullets ended the life of the man in black, accurately and ruthlessly.

One shot, one kill. Even the black-clad assassin didn't know how he died.

"Let's go, we walked into an ambush."

The Black Cloak man no longer fought, his figure flashed and he vanished into the darkness, disappearing without a trace. Only the bodies of his fallen comrades lay scattered around the lake shore, lifeless and still.

"Any man who dares to touch my woman, is asking for death!"

Yun An, emerging from the darkness with Barrett in tow, radiated an aura of killing intent and icy coldness that instilled fear in anyone who beheld her.

"An'er"

Just as she made out the figure, it was none other than Yun An'an. Bei Chen Yi rushed forward in three strides that covered two steps, checking her up and down to see if she was injured.

"How did you come here You know this place is fraught with danger. If anything were to happen to you, what would become of me"

Beichen Yi's genuine concern in his eyes warmed Yun An'an's heart even more.

Upon receiving Barrett, Yun An'an raised a sweet smile.

"Uncle, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. And you don't have to worry about me either."

In one sentence, Yun An'an expressed all her worries. Seeing that Bei Chen Yi only suffered minor injuries, the string of tension she had been holding in her heart finally loosened.

Suddenly!!!

Beichen Yi took a step forward, tightly holding Yun An'an in his arms, almost as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.

"I promise, my husband, I won't do it again. My husband will not allow you to be in any danger."

"Uncle...I, I can't breathe!!"

Yun An'an was moved, being held tightly by Bei Chen Yi, but she also felt like she was suffocating.

In the distance, several dozen footsteps echoed.

The guards at Yi Wangfu finally let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the two embrace.

It's good that the Lord and Lady are both alright.

"Yun YaTou, you nearly scared the old man to death!!"

Old Wang walked forward, gasping for breath. Before he could utter a word, he knelt down and took deep breaths of fresh air.

Unknowingly, a sliver of fishbelly white has already leaked onto the horizon.

The bonfire was still crackling merrily.

Yunan nestled in Beichen Yi's arms, fast asleep. Old Wangye yawned repeatedly but couldn't fall asleep. He kept looking at Yunan as if he had something to say, but every time he was about to speak, he swallowed his words back down.

"Old Wang, if you keep looking at me like that, my uncle will think you have ulterior motives toward me."

Opening his eyes, Yun'an gazed at Old Wangye.

“Nonsense, old man. I treat you like a grandfather treats his granddaughter. What else could my intentions be”

Old Wang, who had been misunderstood by Yun An'an, glared at her. This girl was becoming more and more out of line! He still wanted to live for a few more years.

"Old Wang, do you have something you're hiding from me"

Old Wang wouldn't speak, but that didn't mean Yun Anan had nothing to say.

That day, the words of Han Qing from Tianxiang Building echoed in her ears. Whether true or false, she just happened to have some questions in her heart that she wanted to clarify.

"Oh What could an old man like me possibly hide from you"

When speaking, Old Wang's eyes darted around, a clear sign of guilt.

"I wouldn't know about that. Old Master Wang is so deep and cunning, it's impossible for me to guess what he's thinking."

Getting up and stretching, Yunan's smile made Lao Wangye's heart sink even further.

Could she have guessed something

There's no way, he's been perfectly normal lately.

"Old Wang,"

"What's wrong"

When someone called him "Old Wangye," a chill ran down his spine.

"I happen to have a few things I want to ask you, too. Might as well take this opportunity to clear them up. That way we won't have more and more problems piling up later, making it a bigger hassle to explain."

The snowball keeps getting bigger and bigger. If it truly gets to that point, no one can say for sure what will happen.

"...

" Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

From our first encounter at the apothecary to the loss of the Unwritten Scroll, from Yuansinian's illness to Han Qing and my life-or-death Gu, and everything that happened after, right up to Beichen Rongrong's recent childbirth.

"Is every single thing happening part of Old Master Wang's plan"

"Lord Lao Wang helped me through my difficulties, is it truly real or is it just because I'm the princess consort of Yi"

The more Yun An'an spoke, the gloomier Old Wangye's face became. He was a far cry from the kind and lecherous old man she usually saw.

After a long while, Old Wang finally spoke.

"Meeting at the apothecary was purely coincidental, but when you encountered the book with no words, old man deliberately led you into the trap."

"Yuan Si Nian, Bei Chen Rong Rong, the two of you, as an old man, I truly want to help you use your family backgrounds to overcome this crisis."

But Han Qing's life and death gu was not in this old man's plan, it was entirely that old boy's own scheme.

Old Wang told Yun An about the truth of the matter.

His purpose was simple: he couldn't control Beichen Yi, but he could use Yun An An to indirectly influence Beichen Yi and achieve his own goals.

What is Old Wang's purpose

"Kill Han Ying, eliminate all relatives of the Northern Star Kingdom who seek power, and allow the royal family of Northern Star to regain control of the court."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to carefully plan it out.

What one couldn't have possibly expected was the deadly love-hate curse between Han Qing and Yun AnAn.

If you asked him if he would do it again, the answer would still be the same.

For Beichen Nation, he had sacrificed too much. He couldn't bear to see his own country controlled and consumed by a woman from outside the family.

Han Ying is a terrifying woman, so terrifying that even after fighting for so many years, he still can't get the upper hand.

"Uncle, do you believe him"

Yun Anan turned her head.

"If An'er believes, then her husband will believe. If An'er doesn't believe, then her husband won't believe either."

Beichen stretched out his hand and gently brushed the long hair that had fallen from Yun An'an's forehead, his eyes filled with an almost overwhelming tenderness.

Old Wang Ye really wanted to take his sword and chop him into pieces.

Yun An'an's surname is Yun, and theirs is Bei Chen. Family doesn't help family; they turn their elbows outwards like an outsider's arm.

"Old King, I have another question for you."

"Well then, since we've come this far in our conversation, there's nothing left for me to hold back."

Giving North Star Yiyuan and An'an a withering look, Old Wangye looked wronged.

"When you gave me the blank scroll, did you ever think I'd mess up your plan"

Han Qing said that Old Wang Ye had always been using her.

She has eyes that see everything clearly. Ever since she met Old Wang, she knew that this gluttonous, lazy, and cunning old man was not as simple as he appeared.

If one were to say that Old Wang Ye wanted to harm her, he had a thousand and one opportunities to kill her. Old Wang Ye never intended to make a move at all.

Could it be that she only wants to use her to tie down Beichen Yi in order to deal with Han Ying

"Thought about it."

There is no denying that.

Old King knows Yun An'an's temper well.

Don't let the name fool you, she's anything but calm.

But precisely because of this, those with discerning minds could not quite grasp what Yun An'an truly intended to do.

This is also his biggest and most unexpected gain.

"The real you, in everyone's eyes, was nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust."

"Ever since your wedding day to Han Qing ended in a separation, you've been like the sun in the darkness, miraculously igniting all that was impossible, making people..."

"He was visible yet unattainable. Even after you married Bei Chen Yi, every move you made captivated the eyes of everyone around you."

"I knew it all along, you are the most deserving candidate."

Old Wang bet everything on Yun An'an, and he also believed that Yun An'an would bring earth-shaking changes to Beichen Nation.

"A'er, let me tell you something interesting. A long time ago, the Empress Dowager and Old Wang Ye were childhood sweethearts."

"Oh Uncle, are you saying that the Empress Dowager and Old King were actually a couple"

This is a bombshell! I didn't expect that the King, who was so determined to kill Consort Han Ying, would have another hidden identity.

"Heartbroken over love Thinking of revenge."

Perhaps.

"Wow!"

Beichen Yi and Yun An'an gossiped, one sentence after another. The old king sitting beside them listening to their chatter had a very embarrassed expression.

Speaking of speaking, how did it end up being about him

That was so long ago, it has nothing to do with him now, doesn't it

"You two little brats, don't go too far! This old man is talking business with you."

"Oh~~ Talking about serious business, huh Old Wang, was it you who pursued the Empress Dowager back then, or was it the Empress Dowager who pursued you"

Yun An'an couldn't help but be curious and asked Lao Wangye about his youthful romance with Han Ying.

"Come on, come on, it's just us here. Besides, the previous emperor is dead. Hehe~ when Lao Wangye met the Empress Dowager, did they still have that youthful passion"

>See Yun asked endlessly, chattering away incessantly. Old Wang suddenly stood up and walked a few steps to the edge of the cliff.

"You don't believe I'll die for you, do you"

Seeing Old Wangye's posture, he was truly going to jump. Only then did Yun Anan stop asking further questions.

"Look at you, you're sixty or seventy years old. You jump off cliffs seeking death all the time. Isn't that embarrassing"

"It's not my fault, you two are the ones who pushed me into this! Blaming it on old me"world"Tell me, old man, under which school and lineage do you study"Lao Wang ye doesn't investigate, doesn't mean he wouldn't be curious.Yun An'an's information is well-known to him, from the time of...
