"No wonder you kept talking to me and even asked me to come to your tent to drink with you." Yun Qingran understood why her older brother had been so long-winded tonight.
"Ranran, I've already had the archers surround the tent. You can give the order and they'll turn him into a pincushion," Yun Qingbi said.
"Forget it, let him go," Yun Qingran said.
"Why did you let him go?" Yun Qingbi asked in surprise.
"Because of his superior martial arts skills, ordinary soldiers simply cannot capture him, and instead only cause casualties." Yun Qingran had witnessed Nangong Xu's martial arts skills.
"Who is he? You seem to know him very well?" Yun Qingbi looked at her suspiciously.
“Nangong Xu,” Yun Qingran said.
"Nangong Xu!" Yun Qingbi exclaimed in shock.
"Mm." Yun Qingran nodded.
"Why would he come looking for you?" Yun Qingbi asked, utterly puzzled.
"Big brother, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?" Yun Qingran asked with a helpless smile.
"Ranran, you and him?" Yun Qingbi asked tentatively.
Although I don't know why my sister knows Nangong Xu, judging from her appearance, the two are familiar with each other.
Two acquaintances meeting at night must have a relationship that is not ordinary.
“He and I are fine.” Yun Qingran shook her head.
"Ranran, although His Highness the Northern Cold King has a somewhat cold personality, he is truly good to you. Moreover, you two have two children, Yan Yan and An An. You must not make a mistake," Yun Qingbi reminded her.
"Don't worry, brother, I have no other thoughts about Nangong Xu," Yun Qingran said.
"Okay, that's good." Yun Qingbi nodded, not wanting his sister to make a mistake.
"Big brother, it's getting late, go back to sleep," Yun Qingran said.
"What if he tries something bad on you?" Yun Qingbi was a little worried about her younger sister.
"No," Yun Qingran said.
"Okay, then go to sleep. I'll have someone reinforce the guards around your tent," Yun Qingbi said.
"Okay, thank you, brother." Yun Qingran turned and went back into her tent.
Back in her tent, the bed was empty; Nangong Xu had indeed left.
"Annoying." Yun Qingran scratched her head. Nangong Xu seemed to be genuinely interested in her, and he was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until he hit a brick wall. There would definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
After thinking for a while but unable to come up with a solution, Yun Qingran wrapped herself in the blanket and went to sleep.
the next day
"Ranran, the city gates of Yanjing are not open today." Yun Qingbi came to find Yun Qingran anxiously.
“I expected this,” Yun Qingran said.
With over ten thousand cavalrymen under his command, plus the soldiers led by Hu Tiande, this force was enough to wreak havoc on Yanjing. Yan Jing would never allow him to enter.
"What should we do then?" Yun Qingbi's heart was pounding with worry.
Yun Qingran thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "I have an idea."
"What method?" Yun Qingbi asked quickly.
"Come with me." Yun Qingran winked and smiled.
Half an hour later, a unified shout rang out outside Yanjing City.
"I am Yun Qingran, Princess Rongchang of Beiyin. I came to Yanjing to visit Princess Zhaohua, but Yan Jing will not allow it. Yan Jing, what have you done to Princess Zhaohua?"
More than 10,000 soldiers shouted in unison, their voices deafening, repeating themselves over and over again, so that the entire city of Yanjing could hear them.
"Ranran, will this work?" Yun Qingbi was a little doubtful.
“Although Shuangshuang is a woman, she is brave and resourceful. She has formulated many policies that benefit the people’s livelihood and holds a high position in the hearts of the people of Xiyan. They love and respect her very much. By doing this, we let the people of Xiyan know that she is in a precarious situation, and they will definitely go to Yan Jing to cause trouble,” Yun Qingran said.
"Princess Rongchang, you are so clever." Hu Tiande gave Yun Qingran a thumbs up.
"You flatter me, you flatter me," Yun Qingran said shyly.
"Why won't they let us out of the city?" At the city gate of Yanjing, a large number of people who wanted to leave the city gathered and asked the gate guards noisily.
"The Northern Yin has sent troops to attack. We must close the city gates to protect the safety of Yanjing," the gate guard replied.
"What? The Northern Yin have reached the gates of Yanjing!" The people panicked.
"Don't worry, Bei Yin has sent more than 10,000 troops." The general guarding the city quickly reassured the people.
"What does Bei Yin mean by this? Does he want to start a war with our Western Yan?"
"Bei Yin is truly a despicable man. Let's pledge our allegiance to Nan Chu."
"Bei Yin is no good, and Nan Chu is no better."
"What should we do? Is war about to break out?"
…………
Just as the people of Yanjing were verbally condemning the Northern Yin, a shout suddenly broke out outside the city.
"I am Yun Qingran, Princess Rongchang of Beiyin. I came to Yanjing to visit Princess Zhaohua, but Yan Jing will not allow it. Yan Jing, what have you done to Princess Zhaohua?"
The people were immediately drawn to the shout.
"Huh? What's that sound?"
"It came from outside the city."
"The troops outside the city belong to Princess Rongchang of Beiyin."
"I've heard that Princess Zhaohua and Princess Rongchang are good friends."
"The voice said that Princess Rongchang came to visit Princess Zhaohua, but His Highness Jing refused. Princess Rongchang asked His Highness Jing what he had done to Princess Zhaohua."
...
The people asked the general defending the city, "What exactly happened?"
"It's Bei Yin's trick. Bei Yin wants to deceive you and make us open the city gates," the city's general quickly offered an excuse.
No sooner had the general who was defending the city finished speaking than the shouts outside the city changed.
"People of Yanjing, if you don't believe me, you can go to Princess Zhaohua to verify and see if you can meet her."
Upon hearing this, the people of Yanjing immediately questioned the city's garrison commander, "Where is Princess Zhaohua? Let Princess Zhaohua come out and show us!"
"Don't be fooled, it's all a trick by the Northern Yin people," the city's garrison commander explained, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"I am Yun Qingran, Princess Rongchang of Beiyin. I came to Yanjing to visit Princess Zhaohua, but Yan Jing will not allow it. Yan Jing, what have you done to Princess Zhaohua?"
"People of Yanjing, if you don't believe me, you can go to Princess Zhaohua to verify and see if you can meet her."
They shouted again and again outside the city.
The explanation given by the defending general was far-fetched to begin with, and the people grew increasingly skeptical. After some discussion, they went together to the Yan Palace.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!" A young eunuch rushed into Chaoyang Palace.
"What's wrong? Has Yun Qingran broken through the city gates and stormed in?" Yan Jing was so frightened that he stood up from the dragon throne.
"No." The little eunuch shook his head.
"If not, why are you panicking?" Yan Jing breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the dragon throne.
"It's the common people! All the people of Yanjing City are heading to the Yan Palace!" the little eunuch said urgently.
"What!" Yan Jing jumped up from the dragon throne again.
The young eunuch recounted the whole story.
"That bitch Yun Qingran!" Yan Jing slammed his fist on the table in anger.
