During the year that Tianshu Pavilion was "operating" in Beiguan, it achieved more than just good relations with the Helian tribe.
Another gain was getting acquainted with the former owners of Tuoling Fort, the surviving members of the Louqiu tribe of the Northern Barbarians.
The scenes that took place in Tuoling Fort were transmitted back to Qi Xu's ears through this channel.
When Qi Xu heard that the Northern Barbarian Chanyu had sent King Youguli to the Helian tribe to "escort" Princess Changning south, his eyes narrowed and his face became heavy.
Although King Youguli is not as notorious as King Zuoguli, he is not a good person either. He is even more scheming and more difficult to deal with than the brutal and cruel King Zuoguli.
"Send the message to Miss Wei before King Youguli arrives at the Helian tribe." Qi Xu ordered.
After that, he gave several orders in succession.
The troops were divided into two groups. Miss Wei was responsible for supporting Changning, while he had to deal with Shanyu and Qiulin Nanxing!
…
Thick smoke was left behind.
Nearing the foot of the mountain, Wei Yunlan and his party encountered the wild dogs they had avoided before.
A pair of white tigers that were originally following the team rushed out when they saw this, and soon disappeared into the forest with the group of wild dogs.
They hid themselves in all directions, erased the footprints left on the snow, and made sure that no one would catch up with them, and then they stopped.
"Let's wake these two up." Yu Shiyi said, then turned to Wei Yunlan and said, "Miss Wei, the interrogation scene is a bit bloody, do you want to..."
The word "avoid" was not uttered.
Wei Yunlan understood what he meant, "Please do as you please, don't worry about me."
I have heard that Tianshu Pavilion is good at interrogating prisoners, especially those who are placed in the Military Intelligence Department of Beiguan. There is one person in the team this time, who was originally assigned to the deputy of Lord Lu in the Military Intelligence Department. I don't know if he can pry open the mouth of the barbarian warrior with his skills.
However, Wei Yunlan did not intend to watch the people from Tianshu Pavilion interrogate the barbarian warriors the whole time. She dismounted from her horse and walked to the side, sitting down next to Heiyun, leaning against the tree trunk.
I just moved a lot of sand and rocks into the space. Although I didn't recover from the fainting directly like last time in Huifeng Pavilion, it still consumed a lot of energy and it will take some time to recover.
Yes, the deep pit that suddenly appeared on the ground was "dug" out by her in a short period of time by borrowing the power of space.
It was not a trap set in advance as others imagined.
Thanks to this deep pit, the situation was completely one-sided, with King Zuoguli chasing them, but they managed to turn the tide.
King Zuo Guli, who had killed many women and children in Dayong, has completely died in that deep pit!
Wei Yunlan stuffed two more qi-replenishing and calming pills into his mouth, then closed his eyes slightly and looked into the space.
Next to a messy pile of dirt and rubble, lay a burnt-black "big guy" quietly.
It was exactly the chariot that King Zuoguli had ridden in before.
As the fire grew more intense, her view into the deep pit was completely blocked by the flames. At the last moment before she turned around and left, in addition to helping the fire burn more vigorously, she also quietly stole the mysterious carriage back into the space.
When they were chased by chariots before, they were afraid of the possible mechanisms in the chariots, but they had no way to explore them.
Now that the chariot was in her space, Wei Yunlan could finally check it at will without restraint.
I couldn't see it clearly because I was far away, but now I can finally see that in addition to the eight small windows and two doors leading to the top and the back, there are four other dark windows on this carriage. If they are not opened, they cannot be seen from the outside.
In addition, hidden inside these dark windows is a cylindrical object made of unknown material.
This thing is fixed on the floor of the carriage, and a sliding track is installed underneath. It is not difficult to see that the four corresponding grooves on the track can just fit the cylinder in the positions corresponding to the four dark windows.
This should be the killer weapon on the battlefield.
However, when did the barbarians develop such sophisticated craftsmanship?
Wei Yunlan frowned slightly, and then thought of the Queen Mother behind Qiu Linnanxing...
If it is said that King Zuoguli's chariot actually came from Qiulin Nanxing, then everything would make sense.
The screams came faintly into my ears through the woods.
Not long after, Yu Shisan gently woke up Wei Yunlan, who was resting with her eyes closed, and informed her of the results of the interrogation.
It turned out that after the son of King Zuoguli failed to force Princess Changning's maid into his own, he set his sights on Princess Changning. After learning that Princess Changning was disliked by the Chanyu and was left in the Helian tribe, he went to the Helian tribe twice in private.
Although I returned empty-handed, I did find something a little wrong.
King Zuoguli did not take his son's words seriously at first, until recently, due to his negligence in his duties, he was implicated in the eldest prince's troop movements and his military power was taken back by the Chanyu...
Young Master Nanxing, who had always had a good personal relationship with him, came to him and offered a way to make amends.
"Did Qiulin Nanxing tell King Zuo Guli about our movements?" Wei Yunlan suddenly felt that the situation was becoming tricky.
"That's not the case." Yu Shisan shook his head and said, "Qiu Linnanxing should have only found out that the fire was unusual and suspected the Helian tribe, but he didn't have that many people to mobilize. Our movements were discovered by the subordinates of King Zuo Guli who were keeping a close eye on the Helian tribe's transport team. The team that just transported food and grass..."
"The family of the team leader was taken control of by King Zuoguli's men a few days ago. If he doesn't change his route as King Zuoguli wants and lead us into King Zuoguli's encirclement, his family will be sent to King Zuoguli's dog fighting arena, and their fate will be the same as those Dayong women and children captured by King Zuoguli."
It was almost the same as Wei Yunlan's previous guess.
The only good news is that the Helian tribe has not defected, so Princess Changning should not be in danger for the time being.
However, Qiulin Nanxing has already suspected the Helian tribe, and with his wisdom, he will definitely take advantage of this. If Princess Changning continues to stay in Beiman, it will be very dangerous.
It was also thanks to Qi Xu that he made the decision to bring Princess Changning back as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say what the future will be like.
"Ms. Wei, this was our negligence." Yu Shisan said apologetically.
"...If the master had known about this mistake, he would never have allowed you to participate in this operation.
Yu Shisan wanted to say a few words in defense of his master.
Wei Yunlan shook his head and said, "Your Highness cannot be blamed for this."
If she had known this would happen, she would have come.
There is no one more suitable to "break the deadlock" than her, and I believe Qi Xu also understands this.
She could vaguely feel that Qi Xu treated her differently.
But in the face of the overall situation, what does that little bit of love matter?
After calming down, Wei Yunlan said, "Let's go to the Helian tribe and take Princess Changning home."
