Wei Yunlan lived in the capital in his previous life and had no idea about the specific developments in the north.
Naturally, it is not clear how power changes within the Northern Barbarians.
Many things in this life have changed compared to the last life. However, it is not difficult to infer from the current situation that in the last life, Master Nanxing must have gained the trust of the Northern Barbarian Chanyu through these "means", was reused, and eventually replaced the Chanyu's biological sons and inherited the supreme power in his hands.
It is hard to say. In the last life, when Young Master Nanxing led his army to attack the capital, did the Northern Barbarian Chanyu really treat him as his own son and strongly support him, or was he already sidelined and unable to stop Young Master Nanxing from moving towards becoming the common ruler of the two countries...
No matter what, I must not let Young Master Nanxing have it as smooth as he did in his previous life.
"When does Jinghong plan to let the Northern Barbarian Chanyu know that the real Second Prince is not disfigured or paralyzed, but is in our hands?" After telling all the speculations about Young Master Nanxing in his previous life, Wei Yunlan asked Qi Xu.
"Soon." Qi Xu did not hide his plan from Wei Yunlan.
"In a few days, when the Northern Barbarian Chanyu gets better and can move freely again, I will send him a letter asking to see Changning. Then, I will ask him to exchange the second prince for Changning."
"My cousin is finally back." Wei Yunlan's eyes were full of surprise.
Now, my cousin Princess Changning is still staying in the Helian tribe of the Northern Barbarians.
Firstly, it was because Tianshu Pavilion cooperated with the Helian tribe, and the Helian tribe helped to create the illusion that my cousin was ill and could not move. Secondly, the Northern Barbarians were in chaos recently, and the Northern Barbarians Chanyu could not spare the energy to pay attention to a princess who was insignificant to Dayong.
But not paying attention now does not mean you won’t pay attention forever.
After dealing with the current Luo rebellion, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu will sooner or later remember Princess Changning, who he left in the Helian tribe to recuperate.
At that time, it would be difficult to stop this incident again unless the Helian tribe was instigated to completely break off relations with the Chanyu.
Qi Xu’s proposal now is really perfect.
First of all, it gave him an excuse to talk to the Northern Barbarian Chanyu.
Secondly, use the real Second Prince to expose Master Nanxing’s ambition.
Thirdly, and naturally the most important point, they can bring Princess Changning, who has been tortured in the Northern Barbarians for many years, back to Dayong!
"My Lady Consort, and my uncle's family, we are finally able to welcome my cousin back." I knew without even thinking about it, I would be extremely surprised. Wei Yunlan's eyes were filled with anticipation and joy, and she was also a little moved, "Jinghong, thank you!"
"No need to thank me. Changning is also my sister. Since I have the chance, I should take her back."
After a pause, Qi Xu looked at Wei Yunlan and asked, "Miss Wei, would you like to go with me to pick up Changning?"
"Of course I am willing." Wei Yunlan agreed without any hesitation.
Qi Xu had prepared a letter to the Chanyu of the Northern Barbarians. As soon as the Northern Barbarians reported back that the Chanyu had recovered from his illness, the letter would be sent out at the border.
This matter has already been reported to General Shi.
We were already in the northeast, and the sky began to darken a little after noon.
The wind was howling, and it sounded like the weather was about to change.
"It may snow today, so I will send Miss Wei back to the city early." Qi Xu said, and was about to get up to take the cloak from the shelf.
Wei Yunlan shook his head and said, "No need to see me off. This is a very busy time. The city gate is not far from the camp. I can ride back on my own."
Wei Yunlan has long seen how busy the person in front of him is every day.
In addition to taking care of the 5,000 troops left in the north, he also had to deal with the secret letters sent every day from the southwest, the capital, and the states that had previously received disaster relief from him.
It can be said that although the person in front of us is in the north, he has to take care of things in several places at the same time.
How could Wei Yunlan have the nerve to let such a busy man waste so much time to send her off again and again?
"Really, there's no need. It's such a short distance, I don't think anyone would be so blind as to guard your 5,000-man army and cause trouble."
Qi Xu just received a secret letter from Dingzhou.
After hearing Wei Yunlan's firm words, he no longer insisted on going there in person.
However, he was still worried about letting Wei Yunlan go on the journey alone, even though she was accompanied by a maid named Suihe who was as strong as an ox.
"I'll let Feng Ping take you there."
"Okay." Wei Yunlan did not refuse.
He put on his outer robe and walked out with Feng Ping and Sui He who were waiting outside.
The three of them mounted their horses, and soon the sky seemed to be darker than before.
Sui He looked up and said, "Miss, it looks like it's going to snow."
"Then let's go back quickly so that Guard Feng can return to the camp earlier." Wei Yunlan said, pulling his thick headscarf closer to prevent the whistling cold wind from blowing in through his collar.
The horses are galloping.
In just a moment, the towering North Gate city wall appeared before our eyes.
There was a light snowfall.
It seems a little colder.
"The city gate is just ahead. We'll send you here. Guard Feng, please go back." Wei Yunlan said.
Feng Ping shook his head. "I will wait until you enter the city safely before I return to report to my master."
After hearing this, you will know that it is useless to persuade him further.
It's only the last short distance. "Then I'll have to trouble Guard Feng to help."
Maybe it was because the weather was bad and it was snowing lightly.
When we got close to the city gate, we found that there were quite a few people waiting to enter the city.
Two city guards were guarding the city gate and let everyone in after checking one by one.
There were still twenty or thirty people ahead of Wei Yunlan and his group.
The family in front of them was pulling a cart. It was unclear whether they were going home or visiting relatives. There was a lot of food piled on the front cart, and there were two children sitting on the back cart. They looked very cold and their cheeks were red.
The woman guarding the cart kept muttering that she would find a doctor to get medicine for the child, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if the child had a fever at night.
During the pause, the city gate let a few more people in.
There were still these people left and the queue wouldn't last long, so Wei Yunlan dismounted and stood at the end of the team.
This is already the South City Gate, and the city guards are standing guard not far away.
Now that you're here, there's nothing to worry about.
Seeing that the snow was getting heavier, Wei Yunlan asked Feng Ping to go back quickly.
Feng Ping didn't refuse anymore.
After saying "Miss Wei, see you in two days," he mounted his horse and headed back to the temporary camp in the south.
The city guards at the North Gate have always taken good care of the people.
As the snow got heavier, the speed of the inspection increased significantly.
Soon it was the turn of the family in front of Wei Yunlan.
When the city guards went forward to search, several sword blades suddenly pierced out from the grain bags piled on the cart.
No matter how quickly the city guards reacted, one of them was still stabbed by the sword.
Four or five figures jumped out from the cart carrying grain.
"Oh no, enemy attack!"
The city gate was immediately put on alert.
The city guards standing nearby rushed over here.
Wei Yunlan and Suihe also drew their weapons and retreated cautiously.
However, at this moment, the few people who had attacked the city guards suddenly turned back at the same time.
