After Wei Yunlan's voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the main hall.
Humiliation, anger, heartache, and worry.
Silent emotions spread in the room, and everyone's face looked very ugly.
After a long while, Wei Maolin said, "Since we can't find out the whereabouts of Princess Changning from these prisoners, we should think of other ways. Since Princess Changning has lived in the Northern Barbarians for four years, we can always find a way to get news about her."
"When the steward returns, tell the queen that we will not give up on finding out Changning's whereabouts. No matter what the result is, in the end..."
If he's alive, I want to see him in person. If he's dead, I want to see his body.
…
"Miss Wei went to the military camp today?" As it got dark, Zou Yun climbed in through the back window as promised.
Wei Yunlan never deliberately concealed his whereabouts from the people of Tianshu Pavilion.
She knew that when Mr. Xiao and Yu Qi left, they arranged for Zou Yun to stay with her. On the one hand, he could pass on messages and continue to teach martial arts. On the other hand, it was just like when they went north, to provide an extra layer of protection for their Wei family.
Hearing Zou Yun's question, he nodded and said, "I went to the Western Suburbs Camp and met those northern barbarian prisoners of war."
Having said that, Wei Yunlan took the opportunity to talk about what happened in the prisoner-of-war camp in the evening.
"That northern barbarian general was rude, and I threw out two silver needles when I was teaching him a lesson." The barbarian prisoners' hands and feet were fixed, and the silver needles should still be stuck in their bodies. Wei Yunlan was a little annoyed at his carelessness at the time, "Should we find another opportunity tomorrow to enter the prisoner-of-war camp and take out the two silver needles?"
"No, there is no mark on the silver needle, so don't worry too much." Zou Yun rejected Wei Yunlan's proposal and asked, "Miss Wei, tell me in detail, what was the reaction of the Northern Barbarian general after you threw the second needle?"
Wei Yunlan carefully recalled the situation at that time and described it in detail.
As she spoke, Zou Yun's expression became more and more colorful.
"This is really a coincidence."
"You must have hit a vital part. The silver needles made by the craftsmen may seem ordinary, but you know that the position of the needle tip contains a secret. On the surface, the Northern Barbarian general did not suffer any serious injuries, but in fact, his internal injuries were not treated and he was bleeding too much... Even if the Northern Barbarians redeemed the 1,000 prisoners of war, I'm afraid he might not be able to live for long."
The more barbarian soldiers who die, the better it is for Dayong.
Not to mention a general commanding an army of a thousand men.
The most ingenious thing is that internal injuries and bleeding may not result in death within one or two days. It may be delayed to half a month at the shortest, and one or two months at the longest. By then, Dayong and Beiman would have already negotiated the compensation.
If the negotiations fail, thousands of prisoners of war will have been killed.
If the negotiations were successful, these prisoners of war would have been sent back to the Northern Barbarians. If they died then, who could blame the Dayong people?
"What if the injury is partial and he is not dead?" Wei Yunlan asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say. Just hit him two more times." Zou Yun said with a sinister smile. Given such an opportunity, the Pavilion Master and his men would definitely not let go of the chance to take the barbarian general's life.
What a coincidence, if Miss Wei hadn't done this by accident, none of them would have thought that they could save the Northern Barbarian general's life.
And we should learn from this and apply it to other situations. It is not just the life of this northern barbarian general that is at stake.
We could just do something to a few of these prisoners of war while they haven't been redeemed yet. By then, even if they go back, they will be of no use.
I will never do such a foolish thing as letting the tiger go back to the mountains, which would give these barbarians the opportunity to invade the mountains and rivers of Dayong and humiliate the people of Dayong in the future!
It has always been Zou Yun's regret that he could not go to the front line or enter the Northern Barbarians to face those barbarians head-on. Now he finally has the opportunity to kill those barbarians with his own hands. The more Zou Yun thinks about it, the more excited he becomes.
He clasped his fists and said to Wei Yunlan, "Miss Wei, I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone."
"What are you thanking me for? Don't blame me for being careless. I'm glad I caused you trouble." Wei Yunlan said embarrassedly.
"Miss Wei, please don't think too much. Leave the matter to us later. Don't worry, the matter of the silver needle will not be discovered by the barbarians and traced back to the Wei family or Tianshu Pavilion." Zou Yun promised.
After this matter was revealed, Zou Yun took the opportunity to ask, "Miss Wei went to the Western Suburbs Camp today just to inquire about Princess Changning?"
Wei Yunlan nodded slightly, with a hint of hope in her eyes, and looked at Zou Yun, "Does Tianshu Pavilion know the latest situation of Princess Changning?"
Zou Yun shook his head regretfully. "The master knows that the Wei family is related to the Xu family. If he knew, he would have told us to tell the young lady early in the morning."
What she didn't say was that not only the Concubine Xian, Duke Xu's Mansion and the Wei Family were concerned about Princess Changning's safety, but even their masters had given many instructions when they sent people to infiltrate the Northern Barbarians to investigate Princess Changning's situation.
After all, Princess Changning is not only the daughter of Concubine Xian, the granddaughter of Duke Xu, and the cousin of the Wei family. She is also the half-sister of their master. Unlike Emperor Xiaoming, the selfish, cold-hearted and cold-hearted emperor, who completely disregards his blood relatives and only wants to live a safe and happy life!
Sighing, Zou Yun said truthfully: "Princess Changning had two miscarriages, but she did not explain the circumstances in the letter. This is really strange. One of the tasks of Yu Qi and others to sneak into the Northern Barbarians this time is to investigate the cause of this matter."
"So that's how it is." Wei Yunlan was slightly touched.
His previous complaints about the prince due to Mr. Xiao's incident also changed a lot.
The "Purple Star" of their Dayong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is more affectionate and loyal than she had imagined.
At least, much stronger than Emperor Xiaoming!
After sighing, Wei Yunlan noticed Zou Yun's dejected look after he mentioned Yu Qi's name. His heart tightened, and he asked softly, "There is no news from Team Leader Yu today?"
"No." Zou Yun lowered his eyes and shook his head.
According to convention, contact the cabinet once every three days.
Now two or three days have passed, and there is still no movement.
I’m afraid Yu Qi is in… danger.
"Miss Wei, I will work hard to teach you the techniques of silver needles in the next few days. If some time passes, I may not be able to teach you anymore."
"Why?" Wei Yunlan had a vague guess in his heart.
Then, as expected, Zou Yun said, "In a while, the cabinet will send another group of people to sneak into Beiman to find out the recent changes in Beiman and search for the whereabouts of Yu Qi and others. I want to participate in this operation."
"I wonder where Captain Yu and his men lost their trace?" Wei Yunlan asked.
"A place near the Northern Barbarian military camp northwest of the Huyan tribe." After Zou Yun answered, he looked at Wei Yunlan with some confusion.
Several recent events flashed through his mind, and Wei Yunlan suddenly felt a flash of inspiration.
Miss Bai was sent to the Helian tribe of the Northern Barbarians and her whereabouts are unknown.
Changning is in the Huyan tribe of the northern barbarians, and his current situation is unknown.
Yu Qi and others also lost their trace in the northwest of Huyan tribe.
Perhaps, they didn't need to go along the border and try every possible means to infiltrate the Northern Barbarians under the enemy's nose.
You can completely find another way and choose another path!
