After entering Qingyuan County, the Turkic delegation immediately found an inn to stay in. Everyone went inside the inn, and even their carriages were casually handed over to the innkeeper.
Not long after they entered, people began to appear around the inn, keeping an eye on the Turkic delegation. If even one person dared to leave the inn, someone would likely become impatient.
After learning about the matter, Ning Ye immediately summoned Wang Wu.
When Wang Wu arrived, Liu Tianci naturally followed him. After more than half a month of feasting, this big guy had actually grown even larger than before, and it seemed that there was still room for him to grow.
"My lord, should we take action against this Turkic delegation? You only need to give the order, and I will immediately lead my men to wipe out the entire Turkic delegation."
Ning Ye casually tossed an orange over, "What are you doing? What are you doing? The murderous aura is so strong. I didn't bring you here to attack the Turkic delegation, but to arrange something else for you."
Wang Wu caught the orange and said, "The reward from the lord is very tempting. Are we just going to let it go? This Turkic delegation is too arrogant. We should ambush and kill them to curb their arrogance."
Ning Ye pointed to the orange in Wang Wu's hand, then to the plate next to him, "Try to guess why I called you over here. Use your brain."
Wang Wu looked at what he was holding, then at what Ning Ye was pointing to, and suddenly it dawned on him. "Sir, do you mean that this mission is just bait put out by the enemy, and the real important thing is not in this mission?"
Ning Ye nodded in satisfaction. "It seems that the decision to let you read and write was the right one. At least you have lived up to my expectations. Your minds are indeed a bit smarter than before."
"Sir, aren't they being far too audacious? They have countless eyes watching them. If they are discovered, they will surely die."
"There are only two possibilities now. The first is that they have already left the border, and the second is that no one has been able to detect where this person is hiding. Which possibility do you think is more likely?"
Wang Wu thought for a moment and said, "If the entire capital is under martial law after this incident, it's impossible for them to leave quietly. So leaving with the delegation is the best course of action. Therefore, it's very likely that they haven't left the border yet."
Ning Ye clapped his hands and said, "Stop sweeping the streets. Take a team of men and go out immediately. Keep an eye on everything around you. If you spot the target, bring him back to me immediately."
Wang Wu clasped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, young master, as long as these people haven't left your ranks, I will definitely bring this person back to you."
Meanwhile, the Turkic delegation's national advisor was already gritting his teeth in anger. This should have been a peaceful day, but his own prince had to create such a mess.
She's just a woman; what does she amount to compared to an empire?
However, this Turkic prince was really too much of a worry.
This prince is the designated successor; otherwise, the royal advisor would never have tolerated his actions.
"Where is the prince now? Have you paid attention to the coded messages left along the way? If anything happens to the prince, you won't be alive either."
One of the guards spoke up, "Your Excellency, we have confirmed the special mark left by His Highness the Prince along the way. His Highness should be alright now."
The Grand Preceptor nodded and said, "In that case, let's rest for a day, and tomorrow we will leave the city to meet the Prince."
"My lord, there are far too many spies outside. It will probably be difficult to leave the city tomorrow. But these lackeys from the Central Plains are indeed a bunch of cowards. So many people have died, yet they still can't see reality."
"Even a lion needs power to hunt a rabbit, let alone a large-scale operation in such a vast and resource-rich land. Although our fate is nearing its end, this is the most important time, and we must not make any mistakes."
Just then, a one-eyed Turkic warrior spoke up: "Sir, I would like to request permission to leave for the night, as I have some matters to attend to."
The Imperial Advisor squinted and said, "I heard that several of your warriors were killed here while you were scouting the area. Are you planning to take revenge under cover of darkness?"
"My lord, my warriors are all seasoned veterans. It is truly unacceptable for them to die here. I beg you, Grand Preceptor, to grant me your permission to take revenge myself."
The Imperial Advisor angrily rebuked, "Don't cause trouble at this critical juncture. We'll take revenge when I personally trample this place in the future. Now, stay put and behave yourself. If I find out that anyone disobeys orders tonight, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Even though the Turkic warrior was unwilling, he had no choice but to comply. After all, the Grand Preceptor was a man of his word, and if he made any mistake, he would be severely punished, and it was not impossible for him to lose his life.
Therefore, he could only temporarily suppress his anger. When he finally broke through this place, he would make that ungrateful guy know what regret was.
Wang Wu led a hundred men and quietly left Qingmei Village. As long as the villagers didn't inform on them, no one would know exactly when the group left.
Although the path through the snow-covered mountains was indeed difficult, the Turkic prince still led the beautiful Princess Yuye through, as this was the only way to minimize the chances of being discovered.
Now, this Turkic prince only needs to travel for two more days to reach the border, where he can then enjoy the freedom of the sea and the sky.
At this thought, a hint of greed appeared in the eyes of the Turkic prince.
Princess Yuye, who was abducted by him, was not exactly covered in wounds, but she was in a terrible state. Princess Yuye, who had never left the capital since she was a child, had never been able to endure such a long journey.
Yet, it was precisely this pitiful and endearing quality about Princess Yuye that made her even more captivating. Any normal man who saw her would likely find it hard to resist.
Zhamuhe said excitedly, "Don't worry, my beauty, I will definitely hold a grand wedding for you when we get back. It will surely make the whole world envious."
Unfortunately, Princess Yuye showed no joy whatsoever; her eyes were filled with despair.
