Yan Zhong Shan quickly mounted his horse and shouted: "Everyone of Artemisia annulata Lam, listen up, immediately follow up to the carriage, the perpetrator is over there!"

Although the Artemisia annulata Lam in charge of guarding the mountain didn't know what was happening, he still followed Yan Zhong Shan's orders without hesitation.

After chasing for more than five kilometers, they finally stopped Jiang Yue's carriage. The latter walked down from the carriage and asked with an ugly expression: "What is Yan Tzu Cha doing?"

Yan Zhong Shan rode on his horse and looked down at Jiang Yue condescendingly, "Emissary Jiang is so capable, even I was almost tricked by you!"

Jiang Yue's eyes flashed slightly, and said coldly: "Chiang Mou doesn't understand what you mean."

"Never mind." Yan Zhong Shan's gaze turned, and landed on the carriage that had its doors shut tightly, "As long as Emissary Jiang hands the person in the carriage over, it will be fine."

Jiang Yue's expression changed, he moved slightly and blocked the door, "I'm the only one in the car, where would the second person be handed over to Yan Tzu Cha?"

Although Jiang Yue's movements were subtle, they did not escape Yan Zhong Shan's gaze. This made him even more certain that Mu Qian Xue was on the horse carriage.

Yan Zhong Shan, who was within the light, squinted and said: "Even if it's you, Emissary Jiang, you cannot bear the crime of protecting the assassin who murdered Your Majesty!"

"What assassin? Chiang Mou has never even seen him, how can he be considered an assassin? Furthermore, Yan Tzu Cha can tell us why Chiang Mou wants to shield the assassin.

Yan Zhong Shan raised his thick eyebrows and said coldly: "Since Emissary Jiang says that he has never seen it before, I presume you wouldn't mind me searching the carriage!" After saying that, he turned his head to the Artemisia annulata Lam s who had followed him here, and ordered, "Go, search the carriage!"

Without waiting for Artemisia annulata Lam to come over, Jiang Yue bellowed: "Yan Tzu Cha has quite the airs you have there, opening your mouth to say you want to search the carriage. However, Chiang Mou is not a person of your West Chu, Yan Tzu Cha should keep his cool."

A cold glint flashed past Yan Zhong Shan's eyes, and in the next moment, he shouted, "Search!"

"Who dares to search!" Jiang Yue's face was extremely cold. After shouting at the group of Artemisia annulata Lam, he stared at Yan Zhong Shan and said, "Surnamed Yan, do you really want to start a war between the two countries?"

"With regards to counteroffense, I can only offend him!" Yan Zhong Shan glanced at the guards coldly, "I know that the subordinates of Emissary Jiang are all extraordinary, but it is difficult to fight against four with two fists, if we were to fight, it would be disadvantageous for the Emissary Jiang!"

After a long while, he said while holding his breath, "Regarding today's matter, when Chiang Mou returns, I will definitely report it to Your Majesty truthfully. I hope Yan Tzu Cha does not regret it!"

Yan Zhong Shan did not take his words to heart. As long as he could find Mu Qian Xue, even if Emperor Zhou asked him for forgiveness, Xiao Ruo Ao would not blame him.

Under his instructions, the people of Artemisia annulata Lam pounced towards the carriage like wolves and tigers. Very quickly, they pulled out a lady wearing a green jacket from the carriage.

Seeing this, Yan Zhong Shan revealed a smile, but it quickly froze on his face. He stared intently at the woman's face, how could she … How could it not be Mu Qian Xue!

The lady had beautiful eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, but she was definitely not Mu Qian Xue!

The woman was completely terrified by the scene, her body trembled in fear and she did not even dare to speak. Jiang Yue walked over and comforted her, "It's fine, don't worry."

With his comforting words, the woman became a little more focused, but she still did not dare to look at the ferocious Artemisia annulata Lam, and tremblingly said: "Master, is it …. They are chasing us? "

"It has nothing to do with you. It's me who has some misunderstandings with them." Saying that, Jiang Yue cast a sidelong glance at the ashen-faced Yan Zhong Shan, "Is this the counteroffense you're looking for?"

Yan Zhong Shan did not say a word as he looked at the group of Artemisia annulata Lam. One of the Artemisia annulata Lam said helplessly: "Master, there is only one woman in the carriage!"

These words destroyed the last bit of hope in Yan Zhong Shan's heart, and he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's a misunderstanding, I hope Emissary Jiang does not take it to heart."

Jiang Yue laughed sinisterly, "Yan Tzu Cha is blasé now, I was trying my best to search for the carriage of the Chiang Mou, and even charged him with the crime of protecting counteroffense. If I had been more timid, I would have been scared to death by the Yan Tzu Cha." Every word was sharp and piercing, and did not have any intention to give Yan Zhong Shan face at all.

Yan Zhong Shan knew that his fault lay at the forefront. No matter how ear-piercing it was, he could only endure it and say with his stiff face, "If Emissary Jiang had invited this lady out early in the morning, it would not have caused such a misunderstanding."

Jiang Yue stared at him coldly, and snorted: "Based on what Yan Tzu Cha said, it's still Chiang Mou's fault. Artemisia annulata Lam … Hmph, Chiang Mou finally knows! "

Seeing Yan Zhong Shan being pushed to the point where he was unable to speak, a lean man said from the side: "If the Emissary Jiang does not think so much, then why did he run so fast after leaving the city?"

The answer he got was a flurry of blows. Before he could see clearly, his left shoulder had already been hit. He had to take a few steps back to stabilize his body.

The guard opposite him retracted his hand, and the Eye Color said coldly, "Who do you think you are to dare talk to my master like that? Get lost! "

Artemisia annulata Lam was used to being tyrannical in West Chu, but he had never suffered such humiliation before. He wanted to rush up to Yan Zhong Shan, but Yan Zhong Shan stopped him.

"Although this subordinate is a bit rude, what he said was not completely unreasonable. If it were not for the fact that Emissary Jiang was rushing out of the city in an unnatural manner, there would not have been this misunderstanding!" Yan Zhong Shan paused for a moment, then asked: "Do you want to explain the matter regarding Emissary Jiang?"

The lady who had been hiding behind Jiang Yue half stuck his head out, and fearfully said: "It's none of Lord Jiang's business, I'm the one who begged Lord Jiang to hurry up."

"You?" Yan Zhong Shan stared at the girl in shock.

"When I arrived at the capital, I happened to see her being chased. After I asked, I found out that her mother had died young, that she had starved for a while, and that her father, who loved gambling, had sold her to a brothel, so she didn't want to be left in the dust, so she escaped while the old procuress wasn't aware of it. Seeing that she was a pitiful person, she agreed to bring her out of the city and escape from the brothels' pursuit. Jiang Yue let out a series of sneers, causing Yan Zhong Shan to feel extremely awkward. He let out a few hollow laughs, "Misunderstanding, misunderstandings, I hope that Emissary Jiang has a lot of it, don't bother about it, on Emperor Zhou …."

"Don't worry Yan Tzu Cha, I will definitely tell you everything," Jiang Yue coldly replied, and said. "Can Chiang Mou leave now?"

"Emissary Jiang, please!" Although Yan Zhong Shan was worried about Xiao Ruo Ao's punishments, he knew that his mistake had been made.

Jiang Yue supported the girl up the carriage, and slowly left under the turning of the carriage. As for the angered Yan Zhong Shan, he turned his horse and brought the group of Artemisia annulata Lam to the city gate.
