The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 215 1 Thoughts of the Pass 18

The tower was cramped, and the stairs were even narrower. When Yang Ying finally reached the top floor, she breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside watching Fan Dongyang and the guards at the top of the tower verify the imperial edict.

After the guards carefully checked with Fan Dongyang, they used iron bars to clear away the scattered barbed wire on the ground, revealing a narrow passage.

Yang Ying walked along the passage to the room where Emperor Wu was, but before she could push the door open, two young men of similar stature walked up to her and pushed the door open first.

The two boys were sent by Emperor An to test whether Yang Ying was indeed the prince of Wu Kingdom.

Especially after Yang Ying agreed to increase the ransom, her status as a prince became particularly important.

The method of testing was simple: the two young men and Yang Ying would all bow and greet Emperor Wu together, and see if Emperor Wu could recognize the real Prince Yang Ying from among the three.

They are all brothers and sisters, how could Emperor Wu not recognize his own younger brother?

If you can't recognize him, then the Prince Li sent by Wu Kingdom is a fake, a counterfeit that Wu Kingdom dug up from some unknown corner.

The two boys had already practiced the etiquette of the Wu Kingdom, and confidently took the lead in going to the Wu Emperor, just about to bow in accordance with Yang Ying's movements.

"Your subject pays his respects... Hmm?"

Where is the Prince of Li?

The two turned their heads and saw that His Highness Prince Li was standing at the door watching them put on their act with a half-smile.

It turned out that Yang Ying had already realized that the two people had ill intentions, so she pretended to go inside, but in reality, she didn't come in at all.

What are we supposed to do?

The two of them were holding their breath, but the words they were about to say got stuck in their throats, leaving them extremely embarrassed.

The two imposters got in, leaving the real one at the door. What should they do next?

Emperor Wu was a little stunned when he suddenly saw this scene while sitting in the room, but he quickly realized what was happening and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground with a half-smile.

"Aren't you embarrassed?" Yang Ying walked leisurely up to the two of them, looked at their faces which were alternating between light and dark, and waved her hand, saying, "Get out!"

The two exchanged a glance, realizing they had messed things up, and dared not linger any longer, slinking away in disgrace.

Yang Ying glanced at Fan Dongyang, who was standing at the top of the stairs craning his neck to look in their direction, and gave a cold smile. Then she turned around, knelt down, and bowed deeply to Emperor Wu: "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wu quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Aying, you..."

Yang Ying pulled her hand out of his and pointed to the screen beside her: "Go behind the screen."

The two sat down behind the screen. Yang Ying took out the box that Ning Yuanzhou had given her earlier, which contained crickets. With a gentle shake, the crickets in the box began to chirp.

"Ah Ying, you've really grown up." Emperor Wu looked at Yang Ying in surprise. After a while, he remembered the true identity of the imperial brother in front of him.

"I heard before that the envoy coming to welcome the Emperor was Prince Li of Wuguo. I thought it was some collateral member of the imperial family, but I never expected it to be you." Emperor Wu held Yang Ying's hand, his voice choked with emotion. "Aying, you have no idea how much your brother has longed for your arrival. Day and night, I've waited so long that my hair has turned white. I'm only twenty-five years old this year."

Yang Ying broke out in a cold sweat, but calmly withdrew his hand and poured Emperor Wu a cup of tea: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to rescue you safely."

Emperor Wu nodded and asked who was in the delegation. Yang Ying then explained the composition of the delegation. Emperor Wu then asked about the situation outside, and Yang Ying did not hide anything from him, telling him that Emperor An had increased the ransom by another 100,000.

"What?" Emperor Wu was shocked and terrified. He began to chat with Yang Ying about what to do next, whether they could return to the country alive, and what their status should be if they did return, and so on.

In the end, fearing that Yang Ying might not be conscientious after leaving, Emperor Wu stared at her with a gloomy expression: "After you leave, tell Ning Yuanzhou that if he wants me to clear the name of Chai Ming and the others, he can only do so if he can rescue me safely."

"And you, Aying! If I don't survive in the end, I will reveal your true gender to the public and let everyone die with me."

Emperor Wu looked at Yang Ying with a ferocious expression, like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair. His gaze was both fierce and pitiful, as if he wanted to find a way to survive by any means necessary.

Yang Ying's expression remained unchanged. On the contrary, she patiently dealt with Emperor Wu, and when he got tired of talking, she poured him another cup of tea.

After drinking the tea, Emperor Wu wanted to say some more threatening words, hoping to force Yang Ying and the others to submit.

But as he was talking, he felt a strong wave of drowsiness wash over him. His eyelids became so heavy that he couldn't keep them open, and his voice grew softer and softer until he finally closed his eyes.

Yang Ying glanced disdainfully at the unconscious Emperor Wu. It was truly a shameless act that such a shameless person could still be alive!

With time limited, Yang Ying stopped looking at Emperor Wu and focused her attention elsewhere. After observing the room for a while, she decisively began searching for what she wanted...

The chirping of crickets filled the room. Fan Dongyang tried hard to hear what was being said inside, but he couldn't make out what was being said. He could only see figures moving around inside through the doors and windows.

"His Majesty--!"

Fan Dongyang frowned, and with a shout, he stepped forward and pushed open the closed door. He quickly walked around the screen and saw Yang Ying holding Emperor Wu's hand, saying with a choked voice, "Brother, you must take good care of yourself here. Look, your hair has turned white."

The sudden noise startled the drowsy Emperor Wu. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Ying looking at him with heartache. Thinking of his ordeal since being captured, he felt a lump in his throat and, holding back tears, grasped Yang Ying's hand: "Ah Ying, I look forward to the day when we meet again at the foot of the tower."

"Take care, Your Majesty!"

Yang Ying bowed deeply to Emperor Wu and then turned and left.

All that was left was Wu Di staring longingly at Yang Ying's retreating figure, his mind still a little dazed. What had he and A Ying been talking about just now?

A thunderclap suddenly exploded between heaven and earth!

The rain poured down, and large raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the leaves of the trees in the temple and making a dripping sound.

Ning Yuanzhou, Yu Shisan, and the members of the Heavenly Dao Sect stood quietly in the rain. When they saw Yang Ying emerge from afar, they couldn't wait to greet her, each of them gazing at her with expectant eyes.

His Highness had promised them that he would obtain an imperial edict from His Majesty to clear the name of the Six Paths Hall.

Upon seeing this, Yang Ying had a thought, and then nodded slightly.
