Chapter 130 Little Gardenia, I Don’t Want to Wait Any Longer
When they looked up, they understood why the sound came out.
It turned out that Dugu Yue finally got tired of playing and kicked Yang Ling down.
But Yang Ling refused to give in, clinging to the edge of the ring with his fingertips and trying to climb up.
The audience was dissatisfied with Yang Ling's persistence and booed.
Looking at him coldly, Dugu Yue raised her knife and slashed it, leaving a deep mark in the area where Yang Ling's finger was.
As if he was finally afraid of the consequences of such a sharp blade falling into his hands, Yang Ling cowardly loosened his hand and fell to the ground.
The servant who had been waiting nearby hurried forward and carried him away.
Blowing away the dirt on the sword, Dugu Yue put it back into the sheath and looked around at the people below the stage, as if waiting for a challenger.
The crowd below the stage was whispering to each other, but no one dared to stand up and fight her.
"Didn't you say before that she was a woman?" Yun Ji turned his gaze away from the anxious scene, looking puzzled. "Since she can't marry the princess, why did she want to join in the fun?"
"Maybe she just thinks it's fun?" Nan Yingzhi had no idea what Dugu Yue was doing, so she gave her guess, "She always likes to compete with others."
Before Yun Ji could say anything, a "Oh" was heard again.
As she was staring at the arena, Nan Yingzhi had a clear view of what was happening below.
As soon as she finished speaking, a black shadow flashed onto the stage, and the audience was excited again.
Seeing the man's face clearly, Nan Yingzhi frowned: "Am I seeing things? The person who just went up seems to be Jin An."
Unexpectedly, Jin An would be involved in this matter. Yun Ji was puzzled and turned his gaze away from her face and looked at the arena.
He knew Jin An well, and since Jin An didn't cover his face, he nodded quickly: "It is indeed him."
Unlike his usual lazy appearance, Jin An seemed to be filled with anger and eager to vent.
He went up and attacked decisively without even saying hello to Dugu Yue.
People with great martial arts skills are often keenly aware of the surrounding atmosphere.
As soon as Jin An came on the field, Dugu Yue felt his unrestrained and surging internal strength.
Excited that her opponent was not a fool, the amusement in her eyes turned into seriousness.
Seeing Jin An coming forward, she not only did not retreat, but also drew out her sword, pointed her toes, and fought Jin An head-on.
Both of them were masters, and when they fought, there was a flash of swords and sabers, which made Nan Yingzhi, who was watching, overwhelmed.
Driven by an inexplicable feeling, while watching the fight, she glanced at the seats above.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Yun Ting, accompanied by Gao Shu, sat back in the first seat.
Seeing that Nan Yingzhi and Yun Ji's seats were vacant at the same time, he turned to Yun Yan. Since the window was facing Yun Ting, Nan Yingzhi could see his lip movements.
Realizing that he was asking Yun Yan where she and Yun Ji had gone, Nan Yingzhi's already frowned brows became even tighter.
She patted the back of Yunji's hand and said quickly: "This is not good. We have to go."
Even though he knew that they had sneaked out and should go back at any time, Yun Ji still felt bitter about parting with her.
"Xiao Zhizi," he tugged at Nan Yingzhi's fingertips and said sadly, "If we go out, we won't be able to be so close to each other anymore, but can only look at each other from a distance."
With a light cough, Nan Yingzhi mentioned the seat that held a secret: "At least it's under the table, so we can still touch it. Well, is that a little consolation?"
"That was just a paw paw," Yun Ji rubbed against him like a cat that only clings to its owner, "How can it be like this kind of cuddling."
"I vaguely remember that it's almost the second year of junior high school," Nan Yingzhi gently hugged his back and comforted him, "It's okay, we will meet again someday."
"We have to wait again," Yun Ji leaned on her shoulder, his words sounded like sighs and complaints, "Our relationship is so shady that it cannot be exposed to the public."
"There's nothing we can do. After all, there's Yun Ting above us," Nan Yingzhi sighed. "We have to meet secretly and be careful at all times so as not to be exposed."
Relying on the fact that she was lying down, she couldn't see the cruelty in his eyes. Yun Ji's voice turned cold: "Can't you just kick him down?"
"That's right." He had no objection to the rebellion, but he was hesitant. Nan Yingzhi pinched the back of his neck to express his concern, "But it's a bit reluctant to take action now."
Trapped in the deep palace, Yun Ji had no source of information and didn't know what the current situation was. He rolled his eyes and asked her, "What do you say?"
As she had been analyzing with Song Cheng recently, Nan Yingzhi was already familiar with the enemy and our own forces, and she counted them on her fingers.
"Yun Ting is surrounded by not only the secret guards headed by Jin An, but also Yang Ling's imperial guards. We only have the guards in the palace. If we rashly launch a coup, our chances of success are slim."
"Most of the imperial guards are fools. As for Jin'an," Yun Ji said shockingly as he glanced at Jin'an, whose every move was fierce, "I will try to persuade him to rebel."
"Incite Jin'an to rebel?" Because in her memory, Jin'an was Yun Ting's most loyal servant, Nan Yingzhi objected to Yun Ji's incitement to rebel, "He is loyal to Yun Ting, it will probably be difficult to persuade him."
"Indeed," Yun Ji pointed his finger at Jin An who was fighting hard outside the window, then moved his finger to Yun Ting who was sitting comfortably on the upper seat, and said confidently, "But now, there is an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Jin An's feelings for Yun Ting are that of a couple, and he knows exactly what it means to go on stage.
“No matter how slow he is, he should understand that with his skills, marrying Yun Yan is not a difficult task.
“But if he becomes the consort of the emperor, it will be impossible for him to be with Yun Ting. His friendship with Yun Ting is so genuine, and he is such a stubborn person, how could he obediently go to the ring?
"It must be Yun Ting who threatened him with something he cherished to force him to go up, and Jin An likes to force others, but he hates being forced by others.
"After what happened just now, even if he had deep feelings for Yun Ting, he must have been dissatisfied. This can be seen from his abnormal behavior of attacking the woman on the stage when they disagreed.
“They have differences, which is to give us opportunities.
"There is a crisis of trust between them at the moment, so we might as well take advantage of it."
"That makes sense." After going over his plan again in her mind, Nan Yingzhi found a loophole, "But if we rashly ask Jin An, will it expose what we are planning?"
"If we want to test Jin An's attitude, we might alert him," Yun Ji changed the subject, "but I'm afraid he has become suspicious of our private dealings."
Thinking of the last time Jin An caught them alone but did not report it and instead talked to Yun Ji, Nan Yingzhi put her hand on his wrist.
"I remember that Jin An promised not to report to Yun Ting after discussing it with you. What did you promise him?"
"It's just some small things." Yun Ji didn't feel that Jin An's requests had caused any burden to him. He held her hand in return. "I will be careful about testing his attitude. You don't have to worry."
Glancing at Yun Ting turning his head again and asking Yun Yan about his and Yun Ji's whereabouts, Nan Yingzhi increased the strength of her hands as a response.
"I believe in your ability, but this matter cannot be rushed. Perhaps, we can take it step by step.
“For example, when the northern border is stabilized and Nan Yi leads the army back in triumph, it won’t be too late for us to take action.
"The most urgent thing is to get out quickly and show up in front of Yun Ting.
"I can use the excuse of 'being busy with official business' and go back later, but it's different for you. If I'm any later, Yun Ting will definitely get suspicious.
"It's the critical moment of the autumn hunt, and we can't let him down."
After a pause, she rubbed Yun Ji's knuckles with the tip of her thumb and added, "You should go back soon. I will come back later at a different time from you."
Knowing that what she said was true, if Yun Ting disliked him, he would definitely not bring him with him when hunting.
No matter how reluctant he was, Yun Ji had to organize his thoughts and slowly leave her arms.
"Xiao Zhizi, I understand the truth." He lowered his head and spoke with a faint cry, "I just don't want to wait any longer, and I don't want to be patient any longer."
