This is no ordinary inn; its luxury is no less than that of a small palace.

The best courtyard was given to the envoys from the Western Jin Dynasty. This was natural, since they were so powerful.

The courtyard of the Northern Yan envoy was also not bad, facing north and south, with beautiful scenery.

After Princess Beiyan returned to the inn, she first asked the servant where General Helian was.

"The general is practicing swordplay on the shore," said the servant.

"Lead the way." said Princess Beiyan.

Princess Beiyan was led by her servants to a lotus pond. White lotus flowers stood tall and graceful, willows swayed on the bank. An evening breeze blew over, and her nose was filled with refreshing fragrance.

In Beiyan, it is rare to see such scenery.

Princess Beiyan looked at the man swinging his sword like rain on the grass, pulled out a guard's sword, and walked forward with a smile.

Helian Ye was naturally not flustered by her sneak attack. Not only that, he also restrained his strength and blocked her sword with one move.

Princess Beiyan said with a smile: "Uncle, are you looking down on Ning'er and not willing to use even 30% of your strength?"

Helian Ye slightly increased his strength and exchanged a few moves with the Princess of Beiyan.

He stopped there, put away his sword, and said, "Okay, that's it for today."

Princess Beiyan was still not satisfied and threw the sword back to the guard beside her.

The two of them sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and a servant served them some cold tea.

Princess Beiyan took a sip and couldn't help but praise: "The Great Zhou is vast and rich in resources. Even this tea is much more fragrant than our Beiyan tea."

Helian Ye was not interested in tasting tea, so he drank three cups and asked, "Why are you back so late?"

Princess Beiyan confessed honestly: "I met Wei Ting."

Helian Ye frowned: "You haven't given up on that kid yet?"

Princess Beiyan looked at the tea in the cup and smiled: "He is very good, I want him."

"He is my uncle's enemy." Helian Ye reminded.

Princess Beiyan looked at Helian Ye, smiled, and said, "If he gives up his Wei family identity and voluntarily becomes a consort of the Northern Yan, can't your uncle forgive him?"

Helian Ye hesitated.

Princess Beiyan put down her teacup and coquettishly took his arm: "Uncle."

Helian Ye said sternly: "I said that I would kill everyone in the Wei family."

"uncle!"

Helian Ye said helplessly: "Okay, okay, if he is really willing to give up his status as a member of the Wei family, I can consider giving him a way out. But, are you sure he will agree? You also saw that we were a step late. He has already married another woman. And the new wife he married is Qin Canglan's granddaughter. She is not someone you can bully casually."

Princess Beiyan laughed and said, "Why would I bully her? This is a matter between Wei Ting and me. As long as we both agree, she will be superfluous, right?"

Helian Ye said: "Wei Ting doesn't seem to like you."

"He will like it sooner or later." Princess Beiyan picked up a fruit on the table and said with determination, "I'm sure."

…

However, Su Xiaoxiao quickly put Prime Minister Guo in a sack at the gate of the palace and threw him into the carriage.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Wei Ting ended his conversation with the gatekeeper.

The guard was confused. What happened to Lord Wei today? Why did he care about a nobody like him? Wei Ting got on the carriage. Fusu, who had already disguised himself as a driver, grabbed the whip and drove the carriage away quickly.

Prime Minister Guo struggled in the sack: "Who are you? In broad daylight, at the feet of the emperor, you dare to kidnap an official of the imperial court! You want to die!"

Wei Ting pulled out the sack neatly and quickly. Prime Minister Guo's eyes were met with a ray of light, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

Then he looked around vigilantly and saw Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao sitting on the car bench.

His face darkened instantly: "This is ridiculous! Why did you tie me up?"

Su Xiaoxiao played with the dagger in her hand and smiled: "What can I do? Of course... to kill you."

"You!" Prime Minister Guo glanced at the dagger in her hand. He recognized it. It was the weapon used by Wu'an Jun in the past. It was extremely sharp and could cut iron like mud.

Civil officials were not very sensitive to weapons, but the reason why he remembered it so clearly was because this dagger was bestowed by the late emperor, and he personally delivered it to Wu'an Prefecture and handed it over to Wu'an Jun Wei Wei.

The dagger seemed to retain the aura of Wu Anjun, which made people feel uneasy.

Prime Minister Guo calmed down, climbed up and sat on another bench, looking at the two of them in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Let me ask you a few questions."

Prime Minister Guo glanced at the taciturn Wei Ting, as if asking, "You don't care about your own woman, isn't this a conversation between men? What's the point of women getting involved?" Wei Ting drank his tea by himself and ignored Prime Minister Guo.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "If you don't answer honestly, I will kill you. Anyway, no one saw us tying you up. With my methods, I will do it very cleanly and will not leave any clues."

Prime Minister Guo's aura was fully revealed: "You dare!"

Su Xiaoxiao was even more fierce than him: "Do you think I dare?"

Prime Minister Guo looked at Wei Ting again.

Wei Ting said: "She is so brave."

Prime Minister Guo: “…”

Prime Minister Guo said coldly: "What do you want to ask? If it is about the White Lotus Sect, I am afraid you will be disappointed. I have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "We have already investigated all the affairs of the White Lotus Sect. Prime Minister Guo does not need to waste his breath. What we want to ask is the master behind Prime Minister Guo."

Prime Minister Guo's expression did not change, but his fingers buried under his wide sleeves suddenly tightened.

A tiny detail did not escape Su Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled out a dagger and threatened, "Who are you working for?"

Prime Minister Guo said righteously: "I am loyal to the current emperor, so I will naturally work for him."

Su Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "What nonsense! You work for the emperor, so why would you collude with Beiyan in private?"

Prime Minister Guo frowned.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "I was right? Yes, it was your dear granddaughter, Guo Lingxi who told me."

Prime Minister Guo gritted his teeth, damn girl! Su Xiaoxiao would not cover for Guo Lingxi, let this pair of grandparents fight among themselves!

Su Xiaoxiao threatened: "Three miles ahead is a mass grave. My patience is limited. If you tell me before then, I may consider sparing your life. Otherwise -"

Prime Minister Guo realized that the two of them were serious, otherwise they would not have revealed their true identities to him.

"How can I be sure that you will leave me alive?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "You can't be sure, you can only gamble. Don't lie, because I have arrested an accomplice of yours. If your testimonies don't match, you will both die!"

Xiaohu: If you don't vote and I don't vote, when will Xiaofu come forward? Please vote, Xiaofu wants it!
