This person is indeed cunning. Bai Feng went to search for him personally, but couldn't find any trace of him.

In his live stream, he rode at full speed to the western border, then from a closed horse-drawn carriage all the way to Xining Pass, a desolate route.

He then stayed in a dark underground room and didn't go out.

He never moved an inch when ordering people to cause trouble; he just sent his subordinates to find him.

She couldn't interfere with Bai Su letting her use God's perspective, so she could only send people to search Xiao Chi's approximate location herself.

Because they couldn't disturb him, they naturally returned empty-handed.

At this time, Xiao Chi returned to the Khan's capital to see Xiao Kui.

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties. Please punish me." Xiao Chi knelt before Xiao Kuilong's desk, bowing his head.

Xiao Zhixing discovered that he was calling out "Khan Huang" instead of "Father Khan," and that his name was also "Chi," while his other brothers were named after dragons, tigers, leopards, and the like.

Xiao Kui glanced at him indifferently, "Take twenty lashes yourself."

"Yes." Xiao Chi withdrew without any change in expression.

An Wuxi entered the palace, seemingly unaware of Xiao Chi being punished outside. He patted his chest and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from Shengjing."

After reading the secret letter, Xiao Kui frowned. "Mu Liangyi of Xining Pass is still alive. With him around, things won't get chaotic there."

Feng Lizhen in the south also had some ability and managed to withstand the southern barbarians' offensive.

And he, a northern barbarian, was actually suppressed and beaten by Xiao Zhixing.

The other side openly entered the grasslands to plunder, causing panic and resentment among the various tribes.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Yunqi would absolutely not take the initiative to seek peace.

Xiao Kui slammed the letter down, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision soon!"

An Wuxi had no choice but to remind him, despite his murderous gaze.

The Northern Barbarians' plan has completely failed, and the Khan must acknowledge and understand the situation.

Otherwise, things will only get worse.

Guixiong Guanguna sent letter after letter to Khan's capital, like a death knell.

Xiao Zhixing was also despicable; he neither blocked the letters nor attacked Guixiong Pass, treating it as bait.

Now, Guixiong Pass has become like a hard, unpalatable steamed bun, stuck in my throat. I'm reluctant to spit it out, but it's also uncomfortable if I don't. I can't swallow it either, because swallowing it might cause bloating.

They had to admit that the Northern Barbarians would not be able to launch a large-scale southward invasion for another year or two.

An Wuxi sighed, "There's been some unusual activity in the Aite tribe, Your Majesty!"

With internal and external troubles looming, we really can't wait any longer.

Xiao Kui frowned in pain. To make him admit his mistakes and take the initiative to stop the war and make peace was more painful than killing him directly.

He was the lord of the grasslands, ambitious and patiently scheming for twenty years, unifying the voices of the North, gathering all his strength to march south in one fell swoop, only to get this result.

This is a joke, a disgrace!

How can I get him to accept this?

An Wuxi knelt down on both knees. "Your Majesty, is it feasible for us to simply cease hostilities, without mentioning peace, and drag this out for a year or two?"

He didn't want to pressure him, so he could only compromise to make the Khan feel a little better.

Xiao Kui's forehead veins bulged, and his breathing was rough; he was clearly making a difficult decision.

An Wuxi couldn't bear it, so he leaned closer and whispered, "Our spies have found out that Xiao Zhixing is about to come of age, we can..."

= = = = = = = = = = I am a smiling dividing line asking for love and support

【What? What? Why are they starting to use sign language?】

[Oh, what happened? The sound stopped at the exciting part?]

[I'm getting angry!]

[They even covered up lip reading!]

Xiao Zhixing raised an eyebrow.

Is Xiao Kui starting to doubt those around him?

As expected of the master of the grasslands, he figured it out after several failures.

Even if he can't find out where the problem is, if something goes wrong every time, anyone with a little intelligence will notice the anomaly.

Afterwards, try some countermeasures, and then rule out when the secret will be leaked and under what circumstances it will not be leaked. Then you will basically know how to cover it up.

Bai Su shrugged. "There's nothing we can do. Without sound, it's crucial to suddenly cover up at a critical moment. It also takes time to turn the camera around. Fortunately, they haven't discovered that they can block out sound in private scenes..."

【Shut up! 】

【Ahhh, don't jinx it!!】

[Pfft!]

[Haha, in the future, they'll be discussing things in bed, or even undressing... haha, the image is too beautiful, I really want to see it!]

Stop laughing! Stopping updates at such a crucial time, how awful!

[Actually, this is good. It gives us a lot of anticipation. You'll be wondering, how exactly do they plan to deal with the young prince?]

[Don't worry, don't worry. The young prince is incredibly shrewd; he always anticipates their moves, almost like he has a god's-eye view. This little trouble is nothing; I have absolute faith in him.]

【Wait, something's not right. Why are they avoiding the live stream camera? Is it just a coincidence?】 This comment didn't cause a stir.

Xiao Zhixing sighed and said, "No, I'm not a god. I don't even have absolute confidence in myself."

However, she wasn't nervous. Since she couldn't figure out Xiao Kui's plans, she would deal with whatever came her way.

Wouldn't it be more exciting if it were a back-and-forth exchange?

The joy of competing with others is the true essence of a vibrant life.

As for the coming-of-age ceremony?

If An Wuxi hadn't brought it up, she would have completely forgotten about it. A little over a month later, this body was fifteen years old.

During the Great Sheng Dynasty, a girl's coming-of-age ceremony at fifteen signified that she was ready for marriage.

Stop, stop! That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!

She vehemently refused, saying she would beat anyone who dared to bring it up!

Continuing to watch Xiao Kui's footage, the next day arrived.

With dark circles under his eyes, Xiao Kui finally made a decision and wrote the ceasefire agreement with trembling hands.

“Anqing, you will personally go on a mission to Dasheng.”

He couldn't bring himself to say anything without mentioning making peace.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail in my mission!"
