"Young Master Nanxing..." Wei Yunlan's expression suddenly became heavy. "Qiu Lin Nanxing, why would he come to the Helian tribe at this time?"
This is a tough guy.
He was responsible for abducting the women of Dayong and sending them to the Northern Barbarians.
In his previous life, it was also him who led the troops to attack the capital and chopped off the head of Commander Qin and hung it on the wall.
This person must not be underestimated.
"He seems to be here on behalf of Chanyu to investigate the arson case at the palace banquet two months ago..." Miss Bai's eyes were also filled with worry.
They knew better than anyone what was behind the arson attack at the palace banquet.
Wei Yunlan was not too worried about what clues Qiu Linnanxing could find from the burned ruins. All the clues had already been collected into space by her and Heiyun.
At the moment, she was more worried about Princess Changning. "Will the person planted next to my cousin be discovered?"
"No, the master sent the most outstanding members of the Anbu, and they are not placed close to the princess. Some of them are unknown to the princess." Yu Qi still has this confidence. While she is certain, she can't help but feel a little fortunate, "Fortunately, I am not with the princess now."
Otherwise, she, the only one serving closely, might become the only flaw.
Wei Yunlan did not feel relieved after hearing this, but became even more worried. "My cousin looks much better than before. If Qiulin Nanxing sees this, will he take my cousin back to the Northern Barbarian Chanyu?"
If that happened, all their efforts to keep their cousin in the Helian tribe would be in vain.
That was fine, she really couldn't bear to see her cousin go back and suffer again.
"Miss Wei, Qiu Linnanxing should not appear in front of the princess." Miss Bai said in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Doubt appeared in Wei Yunlan's eyes.
Miss Bai went on to say, "This Young Master Nanxing is very mysterious. Not only the princess, but even the Second Prince has never actually met him."
"Didn't he say that he was the one who sent you to the Helian tribe?" Wei Yunlan felt more and more confused.
"It is indeed him, but he has never shown his face to us." Miss Bai said, "In the entire Helian tribe, I am afraid that King Helian is the only one who has seen him with his own eyes. According to the second prince, King Helian once said that Master Nanxing inherited the appearance of the people of the Qiulin tribe, and his stature is more like that of the people of Dayong than the barbarians..."
"Are there any other characteristics?" Wei Yunlan asked.
In her previous life, she was a ghost floating above the Jinyang Marquis Mansion. She only heard from others about the deeds of "Prince Qiulin" who led troops into the imperial city, but had never seen his appearance with her own eyes.
But if a person doesn't easily reveal his appearance to others, there must be a reason...
What is the reason for this?
It can't be that they look more like Dayong people and less like barbarians because they have continued the bloodline tradition of the Qiulin tribe, right?
In an instant, Wei Yunlan seemed to feel a clue flashed through his mind.
Everyone in the room looked more solemn than the other.
This place is very close to the mountain range in the north of Yandu Gorge. If you walk a few steps west, you will enter the forest.
Miss Bai suggested, "I don't know how long Master Nanxing will stay in the Helian tribe. Miss Wei, why don't you leave now?"
In this way, even if Young Master Nanxing really found out something, Miss Wei and the others would have already left the Helian tribe and would not be caught by him.
Chen Yan and Wang Lu were a little moved when they heard this. "How about we follow Miss Bai's suggestion and take the seeds and leave first?"
However, transporting more than 20 large bags of seeds up the mountain was quite a commotion. They had brought the seeds to the West Mountain Ranch before, but the members of the Tianshu Pavilion who were there to pick them up had mixed them with the grass that was being transported to the ranch.
According to the original plan, they were going to go into the mountains and leave after nightfall...
"Did the Second Prince tell us which route Qiulin Nanxing will take to enter the Helian tribe?" Wei Yunlan asked Miss Bai.
"If you come from the south, you will most likely pass through the avenue between Yingtu Ranch and Xishan Ranch." After Miss Bai said this, her face changed slightly. If they made a noise at this juncture and aroused suspicion, they might get into trouble.
"How about you go up the mountain first, and if there is nothing unusual after nightfall, have someone deliver the seeds to the mountain."
"No." Without waiting for Wei Yunlan to answer, Chen Yan and Wang Lu shook their heads firmly.
These seeds are of paramount importance and the most important gain of their trip to the northwest. They must not leave their sight, and there is no risk of them being seized by the northern barbarians.
After asking the previous question, Miss Bai also realized this. Even if these seeds were destroyed, there could not be any risk of them falling into the hands of the northern barbarians.
Things are in a dilemma.
Wei Yunlan glanced over the pockets that were piled up one by one, occupying half of the tent.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Wang Lu and Chen Yan, "Why don't we split up?"
"Miss Wei?" Chen Yan and Wang Lu were startled.
"Listen to me first." Wei Yunlan pointed at the grain seeds, "Each of you take a bag with you on the road. Let's set off to the mountain now. Suihe will also go with you."
"What about the remaining grain seeds?" Chen Yan and Wang Lu asked in unison.
"Leave it here for now. In two days at most, Zou Yun and I will go to join you."
After Wei Yunlan finished speaking, Yu Qi frowned in disapproval, "Miss Wei, why are you staying here? You should let Zou Yun escort you up the mountain first."
One of the orders their master gave them was to protect Miss Wei's safety.
Members of Tianshu Pavilion always put the tasks assigned by their masters first. At this moment, they should put Miss Wei's safety first. How could Chen Yan and Wang Lu leave first and let Miss Wei stay?
"Yes, Miss Wei, you go up the mountain first. Wang Lu and I will stay here to keep an eye on these grain seeds. When we find the right opportunity after nightfall, we will go up the mountain to meet you." Chen Yan also said so.
“I didn’t plan to go straight up the mountain.”
"Qiu Linnanxing came to the Helian tribe to investigate the palace banquet. We must not allow him enough time to conduct a thorough investigation." What Wei Yunlan was worried about was not finding out anything unusual about the palace banquet. After all, it had been such a long time, it would be difficult to find any clues.
What she was worried about was her cousin Princess Changning, and the cooperation between the Helian tribe and the Tianshu Pavilion.
Even though she had never dealt with him, she knew that Qiu Linnanxing was definitely not a brainless person and his scheming must be much deeper than that of ordinary people.
We must not give him the opportunity to investigate further.
The longer he stayed in the Helian tribe and the more thoroughly he investigated, the higher the risk of them being exposed.
"We have to think of a way to make him focus more than just the Helian tribe." Wei Yunlan said softly.
Just now, the reason why she said that she would meet up with Chen Yan and Wang Lu in two days instead of going up the mountain directly to meet them after nightfall was because of this idea.
She wanted to divert Qiulin Nanxing's attention away from the royal court of the Helian tribe!
