Chapter 200 Cooperation

Yelu Ye's eyes froze slightly.

Although this is the Second Prince's residence, there are actually many spies secretly deployed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The fact that this person can appear quietly in the surroundings is itself a silent display of his ability.

"You are so mysterious, isn't it a bit insincere?"

Yelu Ye panicked for less than a second before quickly calming down. The fact that he had appeared meant that the other party could easily have killed him, but not only did they not, but they were actually friendly. This showed that there was room for maneuver.

Wen Chengyun had indeed used some tricks to make all the spies around him fall asleep, thus providing double insurance. Even if Yelu Ye disagreed with his invitation, at least he would not be put in a passive position, and it would not be a problem to escape unscathed.

He didn't show up at the first time in order to test Yelu Ye's character and courage. The insider that Wen Chengyun wanted could not be a useless teammate who could not be led by others.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, since this is our first meeting, would you please sit down and have a drink?"

Wen Chengyun's voice sounded behind Yelu Ye. When Yelu Ye turned around, he saw a young man in night clothes sitting next to the stone table under the tree.

"Prince Qingping?"

Yelu Ye looked Wen Chengyun up and down. Speaking of the princes in the Central Plains, he actually knew one.

To avoid suspicion, he rarely showed concern for domestic and foreign political and military affairs, and he only heard the name Wen Chengyun from Yelu Rong's daily abuse. From his angry expression, it was clear that Prince Qingping was not an easy bone to chew.

"I am Wen Chengyun, please teach me."

Wen Chengyun nodded slightly, picked up the teapot that was originally placed on the table, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Yelu Ye.

The reason why he was so bold was that he was certain that Yelu Ye would not even tamper with his food, and that his visit tonight should be something that Yelu Ye did not expect.

"I believe in the saying that no one comes to the temple without a reason. If your Highness has something to say, please speak directly."

Yelu Ye looked at the poured tea, feeling a little hesitant, but unwilling to show his weakness, he bravely took a sip. He didn't like being passive, so since the other party wasn't out to kill him, he might as well take the initiative and test their intentions.

Wen Chengyun had a pretty good idea of ​​Yelu Ye's intentions. He knew that Crown Prince Yelu Rong trusted Ye quite a bit, so he hoped Yelu Ye could reveal some information about the plan for transporting military rations and military pay.

Yelu Ye frowned after hearing this. He had always known that Yelu Rong had secret dealings with the people of the Central Plains. But he was not Yelu Rong's confidant after all, so such secret transaction information would never fall into his hands.

If I try to get it rashly, it will seem suspicious. Wen Chengyun's plan sounds perfect, but it is difficult to implement.

"You don't need to know much. You just need to find out the necessary route. You don't need to worry about the follow-up. You can even kill Yelu Rong and our ministers after the incident is exposed, and accuse them of colluding and betraying the Northern Rong. Whether you can replace Yelu Rong and take the position of crown prince depends on your courage..."

A narrow smile flashed across Wen Chengyun's eyes. He guessed Yelu Ye would be tempted, otherwise he wouldn't have survived until now.

He wasn't in a hurry for an answer, but simply left a contact method. If Yelu Ye agreed to the plan, he only needed to give the route map the night before, and then he could just sit back and enjoy the rest!

Wen Chengyun's strategy of sowing discord was effective, and Yelu Ye quickly invited Yelu Rong to his house for a drink.

As soon as he entered the house, the already trained mynah bird began to praise him: "Prince brother is awesome! Prince brother is a master of both civil and military skills, the best in the world!"

"Second brother, you've trained this myna well. What's the important matter that you called me here for today?"

Yelu Rong had been in a good mood these days because of the upcoming deal with Liao Yu and the others, and the starling's flattery hit the spot. Starlings can mimic others, which indirectly shows that Yelu Ye usually praises him a lot in the mansion. He is indeed a good second brother!

"It's no big deal. I just happened to get a few beauties. Isn't it true that the first thing I thought of when I saw something good was the Crown Prince? Well, if it delays the Crown Prince's important work, why not do it another day?"

Yelu Ye knew how to retreat in order to advance. After years of obedience, Yelu Rong's vigilance towards Yelu Ye had indeed been greatly reduced.

He clapped his hands gently, and the masked beauty, dressed coolly, appeared barefoot, twisting her slender waist and dancing. The silver bells on her ankles and the gleaming silver chain around her waist set off a fiery atmosphere.

"It's okay. Military life is busy, and we should relax occasionally. Second brother, you're so thoughtful!"

Yelu Rong was indeed attracted by the dancer's little tricks. He sat cross-legged casually, holding a glass of wine, squinting his eyes and began to appreciate it.

Neither the dancers nor Yelu Ye were idle, toasting and playing games. Yelu Rong drank a lot, his face flushed red.

The twirling dancer, prompted by Yelu Ye, fell weakly into Yelu Rong's arms: "Your Highness, please draw the curtain and treat us to a bite of food."

The Northern Rong may appear to be a large and powerful people, but in reality, the famine in their country has reached a certain level. As the crown prince, Yelu Rong naturally stepped forward at the critical moment, patting his chest and expressing his ability to solve the problem.

His solution was to make a deal with Liao Yu and others, but after all, it was a deal with the Central Plains people whom he had always looked down upon, so he did not publicize it, but instead acted in secret.

Most of the little food left in the country was indeed in the hands of the army or the royal family, and ordinary people were indeed going hungry.

"Reward, definitely reward!"

Yelu Rong was happy after drinking. He glanced at Yelu Ye who was drunk and motionless. He did not pay attention to the dancer's indirect questions and gave some information casually.

Although Yelu Ye seemed drunk, he was more sober than anyone else at this moment, especially his eyes hidden under his sleeves, which were calm and clear.

Even when he was drunk, he didn't dare ask the dancer directly, so he used some seemingly insignificant questions, but in fact he was using the elimination method step by step to narrow the scope.

The final escort route map can be said to be entirely based on Yelu Ye's combined understanding of Yelu Rong over the years, and it is the most reasonable and safest route to be figured out.

After receiving Yelu Ye's route map, Wen Chengyun immediately asked Wu Qi to bring Cheng Weiyao.

Cheng Weiyao, who was stopped by Wu Qi, was actually planning to set up her stall, but she didn't expect to be intercepted for unknown reasons.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived above a canyon. The cold wind blowing past made Cheng Wei Yao look confused.
