"Princess, please don't worry too much about me. I'm afraid I'll really miss you when the time comes."
I can't bear to see you leave.
Aguzan's words were not his usual carefree and nonchalant manner, nor did they seem to be deliberately seductive; instead, they carried a rare seriousness.
He had assumed that in Jiang Yimian's heart he was a heartless and ruthless person who could abandon even his subordinates who had risked their lives for him at any time.
After all, that's what he thought too.
To his surprise, Jiang Yimian not only took the initiative to contact Xue Lingyu, but even went so far as to expose her own identity to create an opportunity for him to inquire about the whereabouts of his subordinates.
Now they've told him directly.
He was indeed surprised, and somewhat moved as well as surprised.
Putting aside his deal with the other party, Jiang Yimian and he probably have no connection whatsoever, and should even be in an adversarial relationship.
But now...
Jiang Yimian merely glanced at him indifferently, "Don't overthink it, it was just an accident."
If she hadn't happened to run into Xue Lingyu today, she wouldn't have threatened her or deliberately let Xue Lingyu know that she was very familiar with her past.
However, her reasons for doing so were not entirely unrelated to Aguzan.
On the day he arrived in Ancheng, he saw that Aguzan was unusually calm and did not care at all, whether it was his subordinates who had been turned into human skin lanterns or the subordinates who came to rescue him.
At that time, she did feel that this person was a bit too heartless.
However, it was discovered that Aguzan and Yitu had gone to the mass grave one after the other that night.
Among a group of rotting corpses, they found the person whose skin and flesh had long since been peeled off.
That's when she realized that Aguzan was not as calm as he appeared.
In addition, I happened to run into Xue Lingyu today, so I did those things subconsciously.
Based on her understanding of Xue Lingyu, she knew that the other party would not keep her around, as someone who might know her secret, and would definitely do something.
That was the perfect time for them to make their move.
Aguzan, however, looked unwilling to believe it, leaning against the door frame and laughing, "The princess is still so hypocritical!"
Thanks anyway.
I'm grateful that she saw through the truth hidden beneath his nonchalant mask.
After wearing the mask for so long, he seemed to start to believe it.
Jiang Yimian didn't continue the topic, but asked instead, "How do you want me to attract Kun Ge's attention?"
It might be difficult to succeed using only one's beauty.
That guy doesn't seem like the type to be obsessed with beautiful women.
Aguzan put away his smile and said seriously, "In half a month, it will be Likunge's birthday. He holds a big celebration every year at this time."
It's just that he used to be in the capital, but now he's here. However, he probably won't change this habit.
There must have been many people there that day; the more people there were, the easier it would have been to create chaos.
I'll tell you the specifics of how to do it later.
Jiang Yimian simply responded, without having many questions about it.
Since Aguzan brought it up, it proves that he is confident in his plan. Now, all she can do is lend him a hand.
I hope everything goes well.
Aguzan suddenly thought of something and said, "The prayer ceremony is a day that all the people of Tuyuhun look forward to. On this day, the Tuyuhun Khan, or the next Khan, will go up to the altar to pray for the blessings of the Tuyuhun people."
The end of the prayers signifies that the next five years will be blessed with good weather and abundant harvests, and that all the people will receive divine blessings. It also means that all the people have recognized the Khan.
So don't worry, I will return before the ceremony and will not disappoint the princess."
As he spoke, he extended his right arm, clenched his fist and pressed it to his chest, bowing to Jiang Yimian.
He will not let down those around him, nor will he allow his subordinates to die in vain.
He wanted Aliji to know that he had returned safe and sound.

At this time, at Likunge's residence.
Hearing his subordinate's words, Likunge only snorted coldly, "Since those people want to hide, then let them hide."
"As long as I am in Ancheng, none of these people will be able to leave Ancheng and head to the capital, let alone ruin the prince's blessing ceremony."
Even Aguzan's subordinates couldn't cause any trouble.
Once the prayer ceremony is over, it will be too late for these people to do anything. The prince will then use the name of the rebels to completely purge them.
The subordinate beside him quickly responded, then hesitated for a long time before asking, "Should we continue to investigate the Second Prince's whereabouts?"
Mentioning Aguzan, Likunge couldn't help but frown.
He was now very curious about where Aguzan was hiding. After his identity was discovered in Chuncheng, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no news of him in any city.
If he hadn't been certain that no suspicious person had left Ancheng, he probably would have thought the other party had already returned to the capital.
They thought that since most of the capital belonged to Aguzan's subordinates and they had taken over, Aguzan would be discovered as soon as he returned to Tuyuhun and would have nowhere to hide.
Now it seems that guy had something else up his sleeve, at least not just the subordinates he had on the surface.
Well then, since the other party isn't showing up, then forget it. He just needs to make sure that Aguzan hasn't left Ancheng.
If you want to go to the capital, you will inevitably have to go through Ancheng.
Since Aguzan didn't appear in Ancheng, either he hasn't arrived yet, or he's arrived in Ancheng and is hiding.
Neither of them is a big deal to him.
If Aguzan hasn't arrived in Ancheng yet, he might miss the blessing ceremony a month from now.
That day, the prince was going to pray for Aguzan, which was tantamount to confirming that Aguzan was really dead.
