"Exactly."
Chen Chi nodded, "According to the spies, Helian Shuo has indeed been looking for external aid, but those scattered tribes are frightened by Amur's methods, and no one dares to cooperate with him for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunqi gently closed the file and tapped his knuckles rhythmically on the desk.
Chen Chi knew that this was his brother's usual way of thinking.
He took two steps back and slowed down his breathing, fearing to disturb his brother's thoughts.
"An avenger who has been pretending to be crazy for six years, patiently waiting to strike..."
A sneer appeared on Xie Yunqi's lips.
"interesting……."
Seeing this, Chen Chi understood in his heart: "Brother, do you want to... help Helian Shuo?"
Xie Yunqi did not answer directly, but ordered: "Prepare the horses. Tomorrow morning, I will go to meet this Prince Helian in person."
Shen Chi nodded, "Then Princess Wuya..."
"Take her with you." Xie Yunqi said.
Since they are brother and sister recognizing each other, it is natural to give a big gift.
Only Helian Shuo's side rose to prominence. By the time Amur and his group returned, the grassland had already changed hands.
This is the price Amur has to pay!
——
The next day, before dawn, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the military camp.
Xie Yunqi was dressed in a dark suit, with a long sword at his waist, standing upright in front of his horse.
Wu Ya was "invited" out by the soldiers. She changed into a short Western-style outfit that was convenient for riding. Although she still looked a little reluctant, her eyes lit up as soon as she saw Xie Yunqi, and her previous dissatisfaction disappeared.
"Where are we going?"
Wu Ya asked curiously, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.
Xie Yunqi climbed onto his horse and said calmly, "You'll know when we get there."
A group of people and horses stepped on the morning dew and galloped towards the northern grasslands.
The north wind was still biting, but it couldn't blow away the determination in Xie Yunqi's eyes.
Soon, under the guidance of the sentry, they crossed the vast Gobi Desert and came to a hidden valley in the northern grassland. From a distance, they saw a few dilapidated tents scattered sparsely, with a bonfire in the middle and a few ragged soldiers gathered around it.
As you get closer, you can still smell the strong smell of blood and herbs in the air.
"This is it."
Wuya reined in the reins, his voice trembling, "This is my brother's camp."
She knew that her brother Wang was living a miserable life, but she had never expected it to be in such an environment.
Wu Ya's defense was somewhat broken.
Xie Yunqi narrowed his eyes and swept the camp with a sharp gaze.
There were many wounded people lying on the ground, and several doctors were busy bandaging their wounds.
Obviously, a battle had just taken place here.
“Who is it?”
With a loud shout, dozens of archers quickly appeared, aiming their arrows at Xie Yunqi and his group.
At this time, a burly general came riding a horse, with blood still on his face.
"General Tamu, it's me! Wuya!"
When the general saw who was coming, shock flashed in his eyes.
"Princess?! Why are you here?"
But then, he looked at Xie Yunqi and his group with even greater vigilance, "What's going on with these people?"
"This is a long story. As for my brother Wang, I have something important to report to him."
As he was speaking, the curtain of the main tent in the center of the camp was lifted, and a tall man in simple leather armor walked out.
He had a resolute face and a hideous scar on his left eyebrow. It was Helian Shuo.
"Brother Wang!"
Wu Ya jumped off her horse excitedly and was about to go forward to meet him, but was stopped by the guards beside her.
Helian Shuo's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He lingered on Xie Yunqi for a long time before he slowly asked, "Why are people from Da Chu here?"
Xie Yunqi calmly dismounted and said, "I heard that Prince Helian was recruiting soldiers, so I came to help."
Helian Shuo sneered, "Help? When did Da Chu become so kind?"
He pointed at the soldiers behind him who had suffered heavy casualties, his eyes darkening. "Last night we raided Amur's granary, losing nearly three hundred elite soldiers, but we didn't bring back a single grain of rice. And now, you show up?"
Xie Yunqi raised his eyebrows, "Really? That's really a coincidence."
Seeing that the two of them had a strange tone, Wu Ya hurried forward to explain.
"Brother Wang, I brought them here. This general is willing to help us deal with Amur!"
Helian Shuo's eyes grew even darker. "Wuya, my silly sister, do you know the consequences of inviting a wolf into your home?"
After saying that, he suddenly drew out his scimitar and pointed it at Xie Yunqi: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Xie Yunqi calmly took out a sheepskin map from his arms and slowly unfolded it under the vigilant gaze of everyone.
"Amur's trusted general, Sule, is currently stationed in the Xilu Valley with 5,000 elite troops. I know of a secret passage that leads to this place."
After he finished speaking, Helian Shuo's pupils suddenly contracted.
This valley on the west slope is located in a fortress, and it is the place he has been unable to capture for a long time.
"Why are you helping me?" Helian Shuo's voice was hoarse, but he still hadn't completely let down his guard.
Xie Yunqi raised his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Because, Amur's hand is stretched too long..."
Outside the camp, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Helian Shuo suddenly burst into laughter, with a hint of madness in his laughter.
"Good! Very good!"
He put away his scimitar and made a gesture of invitation, "Thank you, General. Let's discuss it in detail inside the tent!"
Wu Ya was so happy that she wanted to follow, but Helian Shuo stopped her with a look: "Wu Ya, go and comfort the wounded, don't come in and cause trouble."
Seeing that Xie Yunqi had already entered the tent, Wu Ya pouted, a little unwilling, but was soon attracted by the miserable situation in the camp, so she quickly walked to the wounded area to help bandage.
At this time, Qi Che walked into the camp, panting, carrying a medicine basket on his back.
After seeing more Chu soldiers around him, he subconsciously became alert and quickly found an inconspicuous corner to hide there.
Damn, has my whereabouts been discovered?
Was that crazy woman Zhixia chased to the Western Regions?
At this time, a group of soldiers happened to be patrolling nearby. Qi Che hurriedly grabbed a soldier and asked him.
"Who are those people? Why are they here?"
The soldier glanced at the Da Chu people not far away and explained, "Oh, these are brought by Princess Wuya. She said she would help our prince capture the Xilu Fortress and regain the throne."
Qi Che was shocked.
"Princess Wuya?"
"Yes." The soldier quickly explained Wu Ya's identity to Qi Che and told him, "I heard that General Xie, who came from the Chu Kingdom this time, is a top official in the Chu court. He has thousands of elite soldiers behind him. With his help, Prince Helian will surely win."
"Xie?"
Qi Che was suspicious in his heart, "Do you know what this person's full name is?"
The soldier scratched his head, as if recalling something.
After a while, he suddenly remembered.
"By the way, I think his name is Xie... or Qi?"
"Bang!"
The herbal basket behind Qi Che fell directly to the ground.
