Wei Yunlan was indeed worried about Qi Xu.
It's only more than half an hour's journey from here to Beiguan City. With the escort of Yu Qi and others, and the support of family members in the city, nothing will go wrong.
Glancing at her cousin's expression that seemed to see through everything, Wei Yunlan felt a little embarrassed, but in the end, the worry in her heart prevailed.
After hesitating for only a moment, he nodded and said, "Cousin, I'll go then."
"Take care." Princess Changning's eyes were gentle but firm. "Yunlan, you and your elder brother, both must return safely."
"Of course I will. My cousin will be waiting for us in the city!"
A group of people split into two groups on the official road.
Yu Qi and others who had previously guarded Princess Changning, as well as the personnel from Xishan Ranch, continued to escort her to Beiguan.
Yu Shiyi, Yu Shisan and others accompanied Wei Yunlan and changed the route to the north, heading straight to Longmen Pass, which is opposite to the north of Beiguan City.
…
Just as Wei Yunlan rushed to Lingmen Pass.
With a "click" sound, Lingmen Pass, a heavy door under the city wall opened.
Two teams of Dayong soldiers were the first to come out of the gate and line up at the foot of the city wall.
Next, a man in black clothes, wearing a jade crown, with a tall figure and a cold and noble temperament came out from the door.
Even though thousands of troops were staring at him, he did not panic at all. This demeanor alone proved that he was far from an ordinary person.
"Is this King You?"
"It seems that he really has some of the style of the former emperor of Dayong." An elderly tribal leader sighed.
This was the first time that the former Crown Prince of Dayong, now King You, actually appeared in front of the northern barbarian tribes.
His appearance made the northern barbarian tribes recall the time when they were suppressed and defeated by Dayong.
The sun was high in the sky.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on the man in black who was walking forward step by step.
Opposite him, the person who was also wearing a jade crown and leading the team in white clothes seemed to become a little dimmer in front of him.
Both of them were leading the team towards the agreed location.
Behind one was a carriage, and behind the other was the Second Prince Huyan, who was being held by the arms by two guards.
One was dressed in white, looking otherworldly yet somewhat frail; the other was dressed in black, standing tall and straight, like a tough pine tree.
One of them was wearing a mask, so his true face could not be seen; the other one appeared openly, with a majestic air between his brows.
Even before the fight, it was already clear who would win and who would lose.
Qiu Linnanxing felt very depressed.
This was his first head-on confrontation with Qi Xu.
He knew that the person in front of him also called his grandmother "Grandma" and had even been taken care of by his grandmother herself for several years.
But that feeling of love between grandparents and grandchildren was fake.
He is the only grandson who is truly related to my grandmother by blood.
All the "kindness" we had shown to the people in front of us were just stopgap measures to pave the way for them.
There is not a single bit of sincerity.
But the person in front of him was kept in the dark and didn't know that he was just a pawn in his grandmother's hands.
Thinking of this, the depression in his heart instantly dissipated a lot.
Looking at Qi Xu in front of him again, there was a hint of subtle sarcasm in his eyes.
Even though Qi Xu was tall and straight, he was still better than this barbarian who still had some northern barbarian blood flowing in his body.
Even though Qi Xu was good at controlling his subordinates and winning people's hearts, his reputation in the north was growing.
After all, it was just a stepping stone arranged by his grandmother for him!
Everything Qi Xu has now will be handed over to him in the future!
A mask can hide the face but not the eyes.
Qi Xu did not miss the flash of sarcasm in Qiu Linnanxing's eyes.
He could guess the reason for the emotion in Qiu Linnanxing's eyes, but he didn't say much.
It's not worth it and there's no need.
Let this ambitious "bastard" dream a little longer.
Soon, this beautiful dream will be completely shattered!
"Stop, exchange hostages." Qi Xu's voice was cold. He raised his right hand and waved it slightly.
The two guards who were holding Prince Huyan II behind him let him go.
Prince Huyan II was still a little uncomfortable with regaining his freedom. He looked back at Qi Xu and the Dayong soldiers behind him, and seeing that no one was stopping him anymore, he raised his feet and ran quickly to the other side.
At the same time, the two parties gathered to exchange hostages.
Two fast horses came galloping from the north, heading straight for where the leaders of the northern barbarian tribes were.
The barbarian warriors on horseback looked anxious, as if the sky was falling. The voices arrived before they did.
“Oh no!”
"Something terrible is happening!"
"What are you making noise about? Stop them." Yougudu Hou ordered with a dark face.
The two barbarian warriors who were stopped fell off their horses, rolled over, and knelt in front of Yougudu Hou and the tribal leaders.
The voice said sadly, "Chanyu...Chanyu is dead!"
"What?" Yougu Duhou's body trembled slightly, and he looked at the two barbarian warriors kneeling on the ground in disbelief.
Beside him, the tribal leaders had the same expression.
Just recently, they had just parted with the Chanyu.
Although the Chanyu was unconscious at that time, his life was not in danger. According to several witch doctors in the army, the toxins in his body had not been cleared yet. He would be able to wake up after taking some medicine, resting for a few days, and bleeding with silver needles.
But how can you imagine that it’s only been a short morning…
Then I heard the news that Chanyu had died!
absurd!
"How is that possible?"
"He was fine just now. How could the Chanyu die so soon?"
The tribal leaders couldn't believe what they heard.
