Only dead people shut up.
Yu Qi would never tolerate the changes on her side affecting the safety of the princess. That is why she was willing to play along with the young master of Na Yingtu Ranch, just waiting for the other party to let down his guard so that she could give him a fatal blow.
While waiting for this opportunity, she endured many inhuman tortures.
For example, the scar on the neck was caused by the chain, and the scar on the abdomen was caused by the whip.
While enduring all this pain, she somewhat understood why the real Xiang He had chosen to commit suicide.
Even she, a warrior who had been tempered since childhood and was no longer afraid of ordinary pain, could hardly bear it, let alone a maid who grew up in the deep palace and had no martial arts skills?
"I have already wiped out all the tails at Yingtu Ranch. The few people who followed the young master of the ranch were all killed. No one is left alive." Yu Qi hid in the team that was transporting stallions back from Yingtu Ranch when he left Xishan Ranch.
He originally planned to reach Xishan Ranch and then steal a horse and leave under the cover of night, but his injuries worsened and he was exhausted, so he was discovered by someone without paying attention.
"It's a good thing I met you, otherwise I would have died here."
Her life is a small matter, but if she delays bringing the hard-earned intelligence back to Dayong, that would be a big deal.
Regardless of the pain in his body, Yu Qi quickly pulled himself together and took out a few crumpled pieces of paper from his arms.
"This is Princess Changning's account of the actual situation among the various tribes of the Northern Barbarians. She has recorded everything she has learned about the territories, population, and military strength of each tribe over the years."
This is extremely useful information.
It is impossible to convey it through normal correspondence.
"How is the princess doing now?" A hint of worry flashed across Wei Yunlan's eyes.
In terms of closeness, Princess Changning is her blood-related cousin.
Yu Qi lowered her eyes; her silence represented a silent answer.
The forest was silent for a moment.
Then, Yu Qi sighed and said, "The princess has had a very hard life."
Being the daughter of the emperor, she has to endure such hardships every day.
Because of the responsibilities that come with this identity, one cannot even decide one’s own life and death.
"She is now in the accompanying team. Will she follow the Northern Barbarians Chanyu to inspect the entire Northern Barbarian territory?" Wei Yunlan thought thoughtfully.
She specially prepared some warming and nourishing medicines needed for women who had just had a miscarriage, as well as two ginsengs to keep them alive, in her space, so that if she had the chance to meet Princess Changning, she could hand these herbs over to her.
Originally, she thought that maybe she could use Heiyun's hand or other means to directly send the things to Huyan tribe. Now it seems that she might have a chance to see it in person.
The problem is how to avoid the eyes and ears of the Northern Barbarian Chanyu.
"Oh, Miss Wei." Yu Qi glanced at Miss Bai Si who was standing next to Wei Yunlan, lowered his voice, and said, "We may have found the whereabouts of Miss Bai Da."
"Big sister?"
Fourth Miss Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.
There was a rare bit of agility in his bewildered eyes. He looked at Yu Qi intently, his eyes full of expectation: "Where is Big Sister?"
Seeing that Miss Bai Si was so excited that she seemed like she was about to rush out, Yu Qi felt a little regretful. Perhaps he should not have said it directly to her face.
"It's okay, just tell me. Bringing Ah Zhi out here is to let her face these things in person."
At first, these words sounded a bit cold, but after careful consideration, one could understand Wei Yunlan's painstaking efforts. He nodded slightly and Yu Qi continued, "Yesterday, Helian Huyun, the eldest prince of the Helian tribe, came to welcome the Shanyu's inspection team. From him, I learned that the group of Dayong women who were sent to the Helian tribe not long ago are now living in the Helian tribe's royal court. Some of them were awarded to the royal family of the tribe by King Helian, and some were used as singers and dancers to entertain the Helian tribe at banquets."
Whether being a plaything in the royal backyard or a singer or dancer provided for people's pleasure, it is not a good identity.
Although it is better than losing one's life, one lives in humiliation and without dignity.
Just as everyone looked solemn after hearing this, Yu Qi cleared his throat and spoke again: "But among the women sent there, there was one exception."
"What do you mean?" Wei Yunlan asked.
"That woman was given by King Helian to the second prince of Helian, Helian Hulin. However, she did not become a plaything like the others, but was deeply loved by Helian Hulin. Not long ago, Helian Hulin asked King Helian and the princess to marry this Dayong woman as his concubine!"
"Who is this person?" Wei Yunlan's heart skipped a beat.
A glimmer of hope arises spontaneously.
As expected, Yu Qi then said, "Helian Hu Yun described the woman as being in her twenties, gentle and delicate, and having given birth before."
Each one of them can match up with Miss Bai.
Wei Yunlan noticed that Fourth Miss Bai's hand, which was gripping her sleeve, suddenly tightened, and she reached out and gently patted the back of her hand twice.
If this person is Miss Bai, that would be the best.
If not, then it would be good if one of the suffering women of Dayong could be treated with dignity and suffer less torture.
"At least we already know that Miss Bai is now in the royal court of the Helian tribe." The scope has been narrowed a lot, and there is a great chance that they can meet Miss Bai.
Even, he took Miss Bai away from the Helian tribe and the Northern Barbarians.
No matter what, they were determined to go to the royal court of the Helian tribe.
"By the way, Miss Wei... ahem."
After saying so many words in a row, Yu Qi couldn't help coughing.
The pain caused by the trembling of her chest made her unable to maintain her expression and she looked a little hideous.
Wei Yunlan gently stroked her back and said, "Don't be impatient. Talk slowly."
"There is another person I think you should know."
"who?"
"Young Master Nanxing." This was a person who was previously completely outside the scope of Tianshu Pavilion's intelligence. Even Yu Qi, who had stayed in Beiguan for quite some time, heard of this name for the first time.
"This is the name I heard yesterday when I accompanied Princess Changning in the carriage of the Northern Barbarian Chanyu."
"It is said that those abducted women from Dayong were sent to various tribes by this Young Master Nanxing."
"This man was adopted by the Northern Barbarian Chanyu. Although he is not very old, he is very valued by the Chanyu."
"But according to Princess Changning, this Young Master Nanxing is very mysterious and has never appeared in the palace. The princess has lived in the Northern Barbarians for so many years and has no idea what he looks like. She only heard that he is weaker than the average Northern Barbarian and looks a bit like a Dayong person."
Young Master Nanxing.
Wei Yunlan's heart trembled.
This Young Master Nanxing should be the one who later led the army to attack the capital.
Maybe we should call him Qiu Linnanxing?
