Gu Beijian seemed to be familiar with the temperaments of Murong Tianyi and Qi Xiaohan, and knew what each of them cared about. The rumors spread by the two sides were inconsistent.
Murong Tianyi is a cunning person. Although he cares a little about family affection, he doesn't care that much. He cares more about himself and his family, and whether he can gain more wealth and territory.
So Gu Beijian had people spread rumors that the Dongfang Senmu Kingdom had recently obtained a treasure. If a man took it, he would become extremely strong, healthy, not afraid of any poison, and have the effect of prolonging life.
"Have you heard?" one herdsman said to another.
"What did you hear?" another herdsman asked curiously, seeing that he was acting suspiciously.
"The Eastern Senmu Kingdom has recently obtained a great treasure. Eating it can turn bones into flesh and revive the dead. If a living person eats it, he will be immune to all poisons and live longer. A person who could only live to 80 years old can live to 160 after eating it!" The herdsman who spoke first said in a low voice.
"Is this true?" Another herdsman thought this was too mysterious.
"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you!" said the herdsman who spoke first excitedly.
Little did they know that their conversation was heard by Murong Tianyi and Murong Jinyi, who were taking a walk and preparing to discuss some military matters.
Murong Tianyi listened to the two people whispering to each other and raised his eyebrows. "Jinyi, what do you think?"
"Me? Uncle, it's been rumored today that Senmu Country has a great treasure that can bring the dead back to life. Although I don't know whether it's true or not, I think it's not groundless. After all, there's no smoke without fire. Uncle, I want to apply to go to Senmu Country to investigate. If it's true, I want to take it back and send people to look for my father's body, hoping to rescue my father! What do you think?" Murong Jinyi bowed, and there was a sense of urgency and anticipation in his words.
Murong Tianyi glanced at Murong Jinyi and sighed deeply, "Are you stupid? You would believe such a lie?"
"Uncle, no matter whether it is true or not, I want to give it a try. Please allow me to go, Khan!" Murong Jinyi lowered his head, not allowing others to see his expression clearly.
"Well, never mind. Go ahead and do it! If it's truly that miraculous, I'll fully support you. I also really want to see my brother again!" Murong Tianyi's eyes gleamed. It was better to send him out anyway. It saved him from having to lug his troops around all day, which kept him awake all day. If it really worked, he could just figure out a way to get the treasure back. It wouldn't require any effort on his part anyway.
Thinking of this, Murong Tianyi spoke again, "Jinyi, how many men do you need to bring with you?"
"Uncle, this time, I decided to go alone. After all, if the target is too big, it will be easy to be exposed. I can go quickly and come back quickly if I go alone!" Murong Jinyi bowed and replied.
"Okay, then you just have to be careful on the way!" Murong Tianyi pretended to be concerned.
"Okay, thank you uncle. I hope you can take care of Guiyi and Shanguang when I'm not around!" Murong Jinyi said a little reluctantly.
"Don't worry, just go. They are both grown up and you don't have to worry about them. Oh, I would be thankful if my Fengyi could be half as sensible and considerate as you." Murong Tianyi looked at Murong Jinyi, thought of his daughter Murong Fengyi, and sighed.
"Uncle, Fengyi is just good at other things. She loves you very much. Okay, I have to pack my luggage. I'm leaving, uncle!" Murong Jinyi said goodbye.
Murong Tianyi looked at Murong Jinyi's anxious expression with deep eyes.
…
On the other side, Gu Nanji reported directly to Qi Xiaohan.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that the Eastern Senmu Kingdom has recently acquired a treasure that can expand its territory, bring unparalleled success, and quickly seize an advantageous position. I do not want such a powerful weapon to fall into the hands of other countries. Currently, various countries have sent their masters to Senmu Kingdom. I hope Your Majesty will give instructions. I request to be the first to go!"
When Qi Xiaohan received this news, Gu Beijian's people were also spreading the news in Kyoto, mainly in front of the emperor's ears and eyes, and sent people to tell different versions of the rumor in every country.
Qi Xiaohan received intelligence from spies from different countries. They all said that Senmu Country had treasures, but their functions were different.
The spies of Senmu Kingdom also sent back information, saying that there have indeed been unusual movements recently, and that some talented people have been showing off some treasures.
Qi Xiaohan asked people to inquire around, and finally came to the conclusion that there really was a treasure in Senmu Country, but no one knew what its specific function was. No matter what it was, he had to get it back.
So he gave Gu Nanji a secret order, asking him to go to Senmu Country and participate in the robbery of the treasure.
When Gu Nanji received the secret order, he was in a very good mood, and there was a bucket hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Murong Jinyi told his younger brother and sister-in-law that he was going to a faraway place to carry out a mission and asked them to take care of themselves. After giving them the instructions, he went to the teahouse in the border town where Gu Nanji was and waited for the rendezvous.
Murong Jinyi changed several outfits on the way, and finally got rid of the tail sent by Murong Tianyi.
The four met in a private room in the teahouse.
"Huh, we've put in so much effort, and finally the four of us can hit the road together!" Murong Jinyi looked at Gu Nanji happily.
Gu Nanji did not avoid it and nodded gently.
Yi Yami looked at the two people and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
During the time they were planning, Yiyami was not idle either. She was receiving news and preparing supplies to go to Senmu Country.
