"Go ahead and speak, I'm listening." Nan Wusi raised an eyebrow at Helan Wenyue, eager to hear just how important it was to discuss with her.
"Do you know why I want to send you to Beihuan?" Helan Wenyue smiled at Nan Wusi.
"I'd like to hear the details." Nan Wusi still couldn't understand why Helan Wenyue would say he was saving her.
"That's because someone wants the lives of everyone in your Nan family." He Lanwenyue's words struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.
"Is it Xiao Mu?" Nan Wusi asked directly.
"So you already knew?" Helan Wenyue looked at Nan Wusi's completely unsurprised expression and felt as if she had underestimated the beautiful woman in front of her.
However, Nan Wusi shook his head and said, "Although I knew from the beginning that Xiao Mu wanted to annex the power of my Nan family and also wanted to kill my family members, I did not know what methods he used behind the scenes."
"So, when we were on the road, you were subtly trying to get information out of me because you already knew that I was working with Xiao Mu?" He Lanwenyue suddenly realized.
"Yes." Nan Wusi had already guessed this, and judging from her experience of failing to get information out of him, Helan Wenyue should have noticed it as well.
Nan Tianba and Nan Wufeng listened in stunned silence, never expecting that Nan Wusi had secretly gathered so much information. They had only learned a few days ago from the spy that Xiao Mu wanted to deal with their Nan family.
"It's actually very simple. Xiao Mu conspired with me this time to frame your Nan family for treason."
"The people he planted in your army will burn your supplies, making it impossible for you to fight for long. At this time, we, the Northern Huan, will reveal that we are going to transport a batch of supplies to this pass, thus giving you an opportunity to come and seize our supplies."
"However, there is only one place suitable for an ambush along our route, so you will definitely choose to go there first to ambush our supply convoy. At that time, what awaits you is the inescapable trap we have laid in advance."
“Once General Nan and Deputy General Nan are executed, we will naturally occupy the border, and spread the news that General Nan and we conspired to rebel together, and that we are just crossing the river and then burning the bridge.”
The others present listened with grave expressions. If they hadn't received Nan Wusi's warning beforehand and discovered the anomaly in the army, they wouldn't have been able to find the spy, and the situation might have developed as He Lanwenyue had described.
"But why is it the Second Prince who came to attack the city?" Nanwu thought, not understanding. Shouldn't they have taken the credit themselves? Why would they give up such a good opportunity?
"Heh, that idiot was just tricked into coming here. Because I regret it and don't want to do things according to Xiao Mu's plan anymore," Helan Wenyue said nonchalantly.
“This time, I’ve come to negotiate with you, or rather, to seek peace, not for that fool’s life. You can kill or torture him as you please. I’ve come for the sake of the people of Beihuan,” Helan Wenyue said to Nan Wusi.
"Can you make that decision?" Nan Wusi was somewhat skeptical. The King of Bei Huan hadn't given up for so many years, how could he suddenly sue for peace? Moreover, even the last time he went to the capital for a marriage alliance was just a pretext. Who knew what kind of conspiracy was brewing this time?
“Naturally, the Northern Huan King is now under our control.” Helan Wenyue’s words shocked everyone.
"Is this true?" Nan Wusi was genuinely shocked. He hadn't expected Helan Wenyue to say so casually that she had controlled the Northern Huan King.
"Of course it's true, I have no reason to lie to you." Helan Wenyue smiled, not minding Nan Wusi's doubts at all.
In fact, all his actions after returning to Beihuan were very risky, but fortunately, he was the one who ultimately triumphed. However, he couldn't go into the details of what happened.
"Why are you telling us this?" Nan Wusi looked at Helan Wenyue, trying to read something from his expression.
"Would you be willing to come with me to Beihuan?" Helan Wenyue did not answer, but asked in return.
"What would I do if I went to Beihuan with you?" Nan Wusi frowned, wondering why Helan Wenyue asked this.
“I can make you the most honored woman in Beihuan.” Helan Wenyue stared intently at Nan Wusi.
Although Nan Tianba and Nan Wufeng didn't know why Helan Wenyue would say that, Nan Wusi did know that Helan Wenyue was a man!
He actually likes her? Nan Wusi was somewhat astonished.
"I mean it sincerely," Helan Wenyue said solemnly again, looking at Nan Wusi.
This sudden confession left Nan Wusi somewhat bewildered. Her family was watching, so what was going on?
"My heart already belongs to someone else, thank you for your kindness." Nan Wusi shook his head and rejected Helan Wenyue.
"As expected, that lucky man must have been Prince Yi from that day." Helan Wenyue smiled sadly.
"Hmm." Nan Wusi nodded; there was nothing wrong with admitting it.
"Alright then. Let's get back to business. I can tell you on behalf of the Northern Huan that we will absolutely not invade your territory again for the next few decades." Helan Wenyue suddenly became serious again and said, "But if your future emperor is Xiao Mu, then it's hard to say. After all, without your Nan family, hehe."
He Lanwenyue didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew what he meant.
"Princess Helan, you may take your second prince away." Nan Tianba said at this moment. His words were already quite clear, and there was no need to continue.
"Then we'll take our leave," Helan Wenyue said to Nan Tianba, then glanced at Nan Wusi before turning and walking out of the tent.
Then Nan Tianba's men released the second prince. The second prince saw that Helan Wenyue and Helan Wenjin were still arrogant. Just as he expected, these people didn't dare to do anything to him and let him go so easily.
Even after the Second Prince and Helan Wenyue left the border, he was still there, grumbling incessantly about how the two were idiots who had wasted so much time coming to negotiate.
"Second brother, there's something you don't know yet, is there?"
"Is there anything I don't know?" The second prince glanced at Helan Wenyue, who disliked his half-brother born to a Han Chinese.
"Then you can go to the underworld and find out." Helan Wenyue smiled cruelly, and a sharp knife slit open the second prince's throat.
"Hmph, this fool, he has no idea what he's going through." Helan Wenjin was not surprised at all when he saw the Second Prince's death. They had come here to take his life, and now, Bei Huan was finally completely in their hands.
