"That's it! If we go any further, we'll be out of the checkpoint."
Beside the stream, Lin Che saw that even though they had walked far enough, Chi Feiwan didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
He had no choice but to speak.
Chi Feiwan looked back and found that the palace soldiers and war horses were very small. No matter how high their cultivation level was, they would definitely not be able to hear it.
She then spoke, "Lin Che, do you know that if you go to Yanyun Country, you will surely die?"
Lin Che smiled faintly and said, "I've heard this kind of opening line many times. It's almost always recorded like this in the Grand Herald: first you say I'm in danger, then you go on to rescue me. Isn't that right?"
Chi Feiwan gritted his teeth and said quickly, "Alright. I've known exactly who you, Lin Che, are these past few days. So, I'll reveal some inside information to you. After you listen to it, think about whether you want to cooperate with me!"
Chi Feiwan stared straight into Lin Che's eyes and said word by word:
"Your Second Prince, Jiang Yanshu! He's not dead!!"
Lin Che's pupils shrank when he heard that.
He wasn't surprised by the news, as he had long known from the secret decree that the Second Prince was alive. What surprised him was that Chi Feiwan actually revealed this huge secret.
Isn’t she afraid that after hearing it, she will immediately change her mind and not go to Yanyun Country?
Or does she know that I know that the second prince is not dead?
Or perhaps Chi Feiwan had a deeper agenda? Was he willing to disclose this news in advance just to discuss future cooperation?
Lin Che lowered her voice and spoke quickly, "He's not dead? Then is he in Yanyun Country? What is he doing? Is your royal family keeping him under house arrest, or is he collaborating with your royal family?"
"I watched him die right in front of me. Why did he fake his death? Why did you keep it a secret from me for so many years? You're telling me now, what's your plan?"
Chi Feiwan seemed very satisfied with Lin Che's series of questions.
She raised her face proudly and smiled, "You have too many questions. You will know the answers to these questions only after we work together, not now."
"But since we get along quite well, I can remind you of this. You were too... mediocre back then. Or rather, you hid things too well. Even if Yan Shu had some plans, or our royal family had some plans, you couldn't help. It would be better if I asked you to bring back a message."
"But now you are different. You are now qualified to cooperate with me."
depressed.
It hurts.
Although Chi Feiwan said it implicitly, his meaning was very clear: Lin Che was too useless in the past and could not be led.
Lin Che didn't know whether to be happy or not after hearing such an evaluation.
"Now that you've told me this secret, what exactly do you want to cooperate with?"
Chi Feiwan smiled sweetly, with a hint of charm, stretched out her fair fingers and gently poked Lin Che's chest, whispering:
"They can't see it, but I can see it. You're taking a detour and attacking the Zhenyuan Army just to protect yourself. You want to expand your team and control your own life. Isn't that right?"
Lin Che was very rude. He grabbed her soft little hand and whispered:
"That's right. It seems that Princess Yunmeng has a pair of discerning eyes."
Lin Che openly admitted that his actions could not be concealed for long.
Now we have more than 300 military doctors, and we can still get away with it. We can also get away with a few hundred more empty war horses.
If he continued to recruit, Dao Nu would definitely discover his intentions.
"What are you doing? Are you acting like a hooligan? Let go." Chi Feiwan struggled to break free from Lin Che's hand and glared at him in shame and anger.
Lin Che was completely innocent.
How come you're being a hooligan?
She poked his chest with her finger, but he didn't grab it with his palm and put it in.
Where is the hooliganism?
"Look carefully, you were the one who started it."
Chi Feiwan didn't want to argue and continued, "It's very simple for me to cooperate with you. I will tell you the answers you want to know before we reach Yanyun Kingdom. And you just need to follow the route I tell you, that's all."
"What route?"
"Go southwest from here, there's a dangerous place called Chengzhao. It's notoriously poor and has bad waters. Poisonous gas permeates the air half the year. Even Da Gan abandoned this place..."
Chi Feiwan lowered his voice: "But I know that the natives there are all fierce and ruthless people. They have dozens of races, each with their own methods. Aren't you short of people? You can go over there and recruit them all as your soldiers. Grow and expand!"
Lin Che was even more confused.
What is Chi Feiwan doing? Shouldn't she be thinking about how to control him?
And point out to him where to recruit soldiers?
This is unreasonable.
When things are abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Chi Feiwan seemed to see the doubt in Lin Che's heart:
"Don't doubt it. I'm in your hands now. If I try to cheat, your power can kill me at any time. We're in the same boat now."
"Of course I have my difficulties. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cooperated with a great envoy like you. With just your three thousand men, let alone whether you can escape Lin Pojun's pursuit. Once you reach the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, your men will be reduced to ashes in an instant."
"Do you think that just because Gong Chengyin is dead, no one will pursue the matter? You will pay with your life, and so will I. But if you have tens of thousands of strong soldiers, not only will you be able to save your life, but I, too, will likely be able to escape unscathed. Do you understand?"
It seems that the situation in Yanyun Kingdom is also very complicated.
The dilemma Chi Feiwan faced was somewhat similar to the one Lin Che had encountered before.
The Second Prince Jiang Yanshu died, but Lin Che returned alive. Many people hated Lin Che, believing that he had failed to protect the Second Prince.
The same is true for Chi Feiwan now. Now that Prince Gong Chengyin is dead, there will definitely be countless political enemies who will attack her.
She had no choice but to cooperate with him.
Lin Che was also tempted, because he had no better choice.
Recruiting soldiers and horses was his only option. Could he really take 3,000 people to Yanyun Kingdom? Facing an enemy army of 100,000, even if the enemy stood there and let him chop them down, he would not be able to chop them all down.
"Since you asked me to recapture these... unruly people, you can't just talk about it, right? If that's the case, then I have a plan for you. Go and gather all the soldiers of Yanyun Kingdom under your command. Then, even if you kill ten more princes, you'll be fine."
Chi Feiwan rolled his eyes at Lin Che. "Since I'm collaborating with you, I'm doing so with sincerity. To be honest, we've already been in contact with those indigenous people. We thought that if we ever go to war with Dagan, we could directly mobilize these indigenous people to cause chaos there."
"So, if you listen to me, I'm 50% sure I can win over some of them."
"Lin Che, whether you are a dragon or a snake depends on your choice now!"
