Pei Yu was wandering in the mountains with a team of people. Some time ago, he received a secret letter saying that iron mines had been discovered nearby.
This mountain is the dividing line between Tatar and Northern Yan. There are very few minerals of various kinds here. The discovery of iron ore now is simply a blessing in disguise.
The mines found there belong to whoever discovers them first, but due to the special terrain here, it is best to mine out the mines and take them back to your own territory, which is the safest.
Just as Pei Yu and his men determined the location of the iron mine, a secret guard suddenly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, the Tatars sent assassins to sneak into the mansion, and Miss Shen was captured by them!"
The secret guard had some scars on his body, perhaps because he was in a hurry, and there were many marks left by thorns and leaves on his body.
Pei Yu narrowed his eyes. With Ali's ability, few people could catch her, let alone the Tatar assassin.
Something is wrong!
Not only Pei Yu felt something was wrong, but even Mo Qing and his trusted secret guards felt something was wrong.
Pei Yu had concealed the fact that Chen Li knew martial arts very well. Apart from some of his confidants, everyone else only knew that there was a person named Chen Li and knew nothing else.
Miss Shen is a martial arts expert, and few can match her, so the current situation is problematic.
Before Pei Yu could react, a group of people rushed out of the woods, their number was smaller than Pei Yu's group.
"Prince Jingnan, how are you?"
The person who greeted Pei Yu was Wanyan Tuo, the Tatar general. He was about ten feet tall, with a body full of bulging muscles that even his clothes couldn't cover.
At this moment, he looked at Pei Yu with a silly smile on his face, his eyes full of provocation.
Although he looks stupid, he is not stupid at all. If he were really like that, how could he have become a general?
"Wanyan Tuo, what are you doing here?"
Pei Yu had already noticed something was wrong, and now after seeing Wanyan Tuo appear here, he became even more certain.
But I am still a little worried. I wonder what the situation is like over there with Chen Li?
"Prince Jingnan, what you said is true. This mountain does not belong to you, Northern Yan. Why can't I appear here? I came here today just to reminisce with you."
"Don't," Pei Yu raised his hand to refuse. "General Wanyan, if you have something to do, please go ahead. I don't have the time to reminisce with you."
Wanyan Tuo's expression remained unchanged. "I don't have any urgent matters. I'm not in a hurry. I heard that the prince and the princess went on a trip together some time ago. I wonder if the princess is here today?"
Until he heard his words, Pei Yu was completely certain that today's incident had something to do with him.
Damn it, since they can’t start with him, they actually want to start with Ali. Since they want to die, then I’ll grant their wish.
Pei Yu's face darkened slightly. "What princess? General Wanyan, you're joking. I haven't even married yet, so where would a princess come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people he brought raised their weapons and pointed them at the Tatar soldiers.
"Prince Jingnan, this is not very kind." Seeing Pei Yu's men pointing their weapons at him, Wanyan Tuo looked indifferent, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, "Bring the people up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tatar soldiers made way, and two people came up, escorting a girl. The girl was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was her tall and slender figure and the clothes she was wearing.
An Yi and Tian Qing frowned at the same time. This dress was indeed what Miss Shen wore when she went out this morning, and her figure was also similar. However, they were skeptical that such a powerful Miss Shen would fall into the hands of these people.
Pei Yu's deep eyes deepened a little. He was 100% sure that the person in front of him was not Ah Li.
However, they went to so much trouble to do this just for an iron ore, and there may be other factors involved.
Wanyan Tuo's innocent smile finally faded, revealing a mixture of pride and viciousness. "Prince Jingnan, does this girl look familiar?"
Pei Yu's expression was indifferent, and he didn't reveal any meaning. He just rubbed his fingers in front of his body unconsciously, and this scene happened to be seen by Wanyan Tuo.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that Prince Jingnan, who was always known as the jade-faced killing god on the battlefield, also had a soft spot!
Pei Yu also took in his expression, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly before returning to his expressionless face.
"General Wanyan, you're joking. This girl looks very familiar. She looks like someone from Northern Yan. I don't know why she's in your hands. It's best to hand her over quickly, otherwise the sword will have no eyes."
Wanyan Tuo could no longer conceal his smug smile. "Pei Yu, if you want her alive, give me this iron mine now and withdraw your troops from Dingzhou City. Otherwise, this beauty's life will be in jeopardy."
"laugh!"
Pei Yu sneered, not wanting to deal with him anymore. "It's still daytime, General, and you're dreaming! Capture him."
"yes."
At his command, the armored soldiers behind him drew their weapons and rushed forward.
Wan Yantuo was completely bewildered. What was going on? Wasn't this Pei Yu's sweetheart?
Thinking of this, he picked up the big knife and put it on the woman's neck, shouting loudly: "Pei Yu, tell your people to retreat, or I will kill her!"
Pei Yu ignored him. This guy was good at martial arts, but not smart.
"Pei Yu, Pei..."
“Swoosh~”
Wanyan Tuo dodged the arrow shot by Pei Yu in a panic, still a little bit unbelieving. After dodging, he cut the woman's arm with a knife.
“Ah~”
Then he saw Pei Yu's expressionless face. In a hurry, he took the muli away and asked, "Who... are you?"
The girl in front of him looked so strange, and the girl he said he had seen Chen Li's true face was not the one in front of him at all.
Then he realized that Pei Yu had already seen through him. No wonder he reacted like that. He was just playing a trick on him.
"superior!"
In anger, he rushed forward with a big knife, determined to fight him to the death today.
Pei Yu also rushed into the battlefield with weapons and soon engaged in battle with Wanyan Tuo.
Wanyan Tuo was extremely angry, but he had not lost his mind. He knew that Pei Yu had been injured not long ago and must not have recovered yet, so his moves were fast and fierce, hoping to capture him as soon as possible.
As a result, within a cup of tea, the weapon in his hand was knocked away and a long sword was placed on his neck.
"Drop your weapons!"
As Tianqing finished speaking, the Tatar soldiers who saw Wanyan Tuo being captured laid down their weapons. The fact that he brought these people here proved that they were all his confidants, and naturally they valued his life.
"Pei Yu, you are so cunning! No wonder people say you Central Plains people are cunning. Today I have finally learned my lesson."
"Thank you for the compliment. We Central Plains people are known for our intelligence. It's like saying, 'The higher the virtue, the higher the evil.'"
"Also, General Wanyan, remember this: I, Pei Yu, have no weaknesses. That's my armor."
