The abduction of women and their sending to the Northern Barbarians involved the officialdom of Huangzhou and had a wide impact. If all this was related to "Mr. Nanxing", then this Mr. Nanxing was unfathomable.
Everything about him is extremely important information to Dayong.
The information about the situation in the Northern Barbarians from Princess Changning was also an important gain from this trip to the Northern Barbarians.
This information needs to be sent back to Dayong as soon as possible, along with Princess Changning's situation in Beiman. If possible, it would be best to find a way to help the princess escape from her suffering...
All the information was recorded on a secret letter coated with potion. If Wei Yunlan, Zou Yun and others had not returned from the royal court of the Helian tribe after ten days, Chen Yan and Xu Duo, who stayed in the forest to look after Yu Qi, would take the letter and go back to the entrance of Yandu Gorge together with Yu Qi and Tang Hai who stayed on the mountain.
"That's the Intu Ranch over there."
On horseback, Zou Yun looked at the vast white tent in the east and made his judgment while comparing it with the map.
From a distance, you can vaguely see some herdsmen on horseback patrolling around the pasture.
Considering that the young master of this ranch had just died at the hands of Yu Qi, and that the situation was extremely tense, Wei Yunlan and his party decisively changed direction, took a longer detour, and rushed to the royal court.
The royal court of the Helian tribe is located in the center of the entire Helian tribe.
The closer you get to the royal court, the more people you meet.
In order to disguise themselves more convincingly, Wei Yunlan and his companions got two horse-drawn carriages. The carriages, which were made of white cloth and covered with a lot of cloth and kapok for show, were empty in the middle. The cargo in each carriage was just enough to hide two more people.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Wei Yunlan, Fourth Miss Bai, Suihe and Zou Yun hid among the pile of goods.
The guards from the Tianshu Pavilion outside were divided into groups of four, driving a horse-drawn carriage all the way towards the royal court.
Along the way, I heard a lot of new things about the Helian tribe.
The carriage stopped beside a tea stall.
Xue Tong, wearing a tiger-skin coat, asked the stall owner for a few bowls of butter tea, then stood aside, raised the bowl and drank it heroically.
Besides them, there were many barbarians at the stall. Wei Yunlan put his ear close to the tent cloth covering the car board.
I heard someone say, "Have you heard? The princess wanted the second prince to marry the little princess of the Tuoba tribe, but the second prince refused to obey. When the Chanyu was on patrol, the king and the princess could not take care of him at this critical moment, so he eloped with his concubine from Dayong..."
"Really ran away?"
"Is the Second Prince out of his mind? If he marries the little princess of the Tuoba tribe, the next throne will surely fall on his head! He actually gave up the throne for a woman from Dayong?"
Wei Yunlan in the car was also shocked when he heard this.
The intelligence about the northern barbarian tribes that Princess Changning had obtained stated that King Helian's current queen was from the Tuoba tribe and was King Tuoba's half-sister.
The northern barbarians do not care about the eldest son's succession, and have always believed that the most capable person will be on top.
If there is one more layer of in-law relationship and the full support of the Tuoba tribe, the position of the next King Helian will definitely be in the pocket of the second prince.
The second prince just gave up like that?
It seems that not all northern barbarians are cold-hearted, heartless and ungrateful. This second prince Helian sounds particularly different.
The barbarians in the tea stall were all surrounding the man who spoke first and asking questions non-stop.
The man kept everyone in suspense and waited for a while, arousing everyone's curiosity. Then he shook his head and said, "He didn't really run away."
"Was he stopped by the king and the princess?" someone speculated.
"That's not the case. I just left the royal court this morning. I heard that it was the concubine of Dayong, whom the Second Prince loved, who took the initiative to reveal the Second Prince's escape route to the Princess, preventing the Second Prince from escaping!"
"ah?"
"What does she want?"
The northern barbarians found it extremely confusing.
She gave up her freedom and chose to stay in the royal court of the Helian tribe. Did she really think that the king and the princess would allow her, a woman from Dayong, to become the principal wife of the second prince?
In the carriage, Wei Yunlan frowned, as if thinking about something.
Now she was even more suspicious that the woman from Dayong who was loved by Prince Helian II might be Miss Bai.
Just as I was guessing, a burst of laughter broke out at the tea stall.
There was contempt and sarcasm in the laughter.
It turned out that they were talking about the princess's treatment of the woman from Dayong.
He actually asked her to lead the singing girls and dancers to perform at the banquet to welcome the Chanyu.
If she performs well, she will be given a legitimate status to follow the second prince.
Of course, this identity could never be that of a principal wife or a concubine, but it was only slightly better than a lowly concubine who could be beaten, scolded, and sold at will.
"How did the Dayong people say that? You lose more than you gain. It's ridiculous that this Dayong woman wanted to control our Second Prince. Now, she's been dealt with by the Princess!"
"Tsk tsk, the people of the Huyan tribe are not like us in the Helian tribe. After serving the Northern Barbarian Chanyu, it is still unclear whether the woman will survive..."
"I don't know how the people from the Huyan tribe will play tricks on them at the banquet..."
Disgusting laughter was heard frequently.
Wei Yunlan's hands hanging at his sides suddenly clenched into fists.
These beasts!
The Chanyu's troops entered the Helian tribe half a day earlier than them. Even if they patrolled along the way and stopped from time to time, they would definitely reach the royal court within a day.
The banquet is approaching and they don't have much time left.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Wei Yunlan gently scratched the tent cloth with his fingernails to remind Xue Tong and others beside the car.
Hurry and hit the road.
They have to hurry to the royal court!
…
While Wei Yunlan and his party were hurrying on their journey, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu's troops had already arrived at the royal court of the Helian tribe.
This is the only city of the Helian tribe.
King Helian brought his princess and personally came to the outside of the city to welcome the Chanyu's troops into the city.
Stay and rest in the royal palace of the Helian tribe.
Waiting for dinner after dark.
Because of the second prince's non-cooperation, King Helian once again handed the task of entertaining the Chanyu and his entourage to the eldest prince Helian Huyun.
Upon learning what had happened in the royal court during the two days when he had gone to take over the throne, Helian Huyun's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.
He immediately deliberately mentioned the group of Dayong women who remained in the royal court of the Helian tribe when chatting with several close confidants of the Chanyu.
"I heard that the women of Dayong are delicate and graceful, with voices as sweet as orioles, and their dancing and singing skills are much better than our Northern Barbarian women. Since these women were sent here, they have never performed in public. You are lucky to have caught up with them today, and I can also feast my eyes on them with the help of the Chanyu and you."
"Offer singing and dancing?" Zuogudu Hou, who was next to the Chanyu and was nearly implicated by Prince Helian yesterday, curled his lips when he heard this.
"Those are things we are tired of seeing. How can they catch the Chanyu's eye?"
"Do you have any new ways to play?" Prince Helian asked meaningfully.
