Teng Gexiang's face turned cold for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously:
"In that case, let's get down to business. I'm here this time to try to win over Leng Xi to serve the Beihai Kingdom. His father-in-law has already agreed to act as our lead. If successful, I'll have Zhuhua contact them. Then, don't reveal your identity and control him from behind the scenes."
Cold Creek?
Although Huang Yun didn't have much of a favorable impression of this person, she still nodded and replied:
"Understood."
"Also, tomorrow, there might be unrest in the Daning Kingdom's palace. Our people have already set up camp ten miles outside the city. If there's unrest in the palace, we can wait for them to suffer heavy losses and then reap the benefits. However, no strangers are allowed to enter the capital now. When the time comes, you must send us a signal. After we respond, you and Zhuhua must find a chance to meet us at the city gate and lead us straight to the palace..."
Huang Yun's face darkened. She had heard that tomorrow would be the day Leng Yu would be announced as emperor. If her father started a war tomorrow, she felt she would not be able to accept it.
So she tried to persuade him:
"There is no hatred between the Beihai Kingdom and the Daning Kingdom. Why do you insist on starting a war with Daning? Wouldn't it be better for the two countries to live in peace?"
Teng Gexiang waved his hand, half-closed his eyes, and said seriously:
"You don't understand. Since ancient times, the victor becomes king and the loser becomes a bandit. Our Beihai Kingdom has the largest land area and the largest population. Unifying all nations is imperative. Daning Kingdom is closest to us and has the strongest military force. If we can conquer Daning Kingdom, then other small nations will have nothing to fear. Some may even directly submit to our Beihai Kingdom. This is a good thing with only one benefit and no harm. Besides, in order to conquer Daning Kingdom, I even gave up my most beloved daughter. If we fail, it will be truly unforgivable."
Having said that, he looked at Huang Yun, the domineering look in his eyes was beyond words.
Huang Yun knew that it was impossible for her to persuade her father to stop.
She had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"I see. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Yun'er..."
Teng Gexiang called her, she frowned and turned back, and asked coldly:
"Anything else?"
"Yun'er, you've changed. Ever since you came to Daning Kingdom, you're no longer chatting and laughing with your father like before. Are you blaming your father for using you?"
"Oh!"
Huang Yun pulled out a self-deprecating smile and replied:
"You are the God of the North Sea Kingdom. How dare I blame you? I will do whatever you say."
"Yun'er, when you become successful and famous, your father will give you whatever you want. If you like Leng Yu, your father will send him to you and let him work like a slave for you. You can use him however you want."
"Shut up."
Huang Yun suddenly looked at Tenggexiang in anger, and asked harshly, each word clearly:
"Did Zhuhua tell you that? I'm telling you, I don't like anyone, and I don't need you to do anything for me. I'm from the North Sea Kingdom. I'll do whatever the King of the North Sea tells me to do. I don't ask for anything in return, I only ask... I only ask that you reunite me with my mother as soon as possible."
Leaving these cold words behind, Huang Yun turned around, pushed open the door, and walked into the darkness.
Her steps became unusually heavy, and her heart became heavy as well.
Although she was the most honorable princess of the North Sea Kingdom, her mother was locked up in a cellar, living a life in darkness.
Simply because the mother was a slave and came from a humble background. How could such a woman be allowed to live in the royal family, where status was above all else?
Because she had slept with the king, she was not allowed to marry again. Therefore, according to the rules of the North Sea Kingdom, she would be locked up and never see the light of day until her death.
What a terrible rule.
Even though she was a daughter deeply loved by her father, she could not change her mother's fate of being locked up in the cellar.
There were many times when she thought that if Tenggexiang had not seven sons and only her as a daughter, her fate might have been the same as her mother's, living in a cellar since childhood.
Before coming to Daning Kingdom, Teng Gexiang promised her that as long as she did what he said, he would release her mother and let her return to the people to live an ordinary life.
Being able to live an ordinary life was the greatest extravagant hope for Huang Yun and her mother. So, for her mother's sake, Huang Yun resolutely came to Daning State and began her journey as a spy...
She herself felt somewhat ashamed of the word "spy", but she had no choice. She wanted to ensure her mother's safety, so she had to do this.
Sitting on the horse's back, letting the cold wind blow on her face, made her feel sad.
She really wanted these days to end quickly. She had even decided that if her father was willing to let her mother out of that dark and damp cellar, she would bring her mother to live in Daning State, somewhere where no one would recognize them, and live the life of ordinary people...
Whenever she thought of this, she would feel a little better.
Facing the cold wind, she came to the entrance of the alley. As usual, she tied the horse to the old elm tree at the entrance of the alley, and prepared to climb over the wall quietly when she arrived at the back door of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Just as she was about to walk into the alley, she seemed to see a dark shadow flash by not far away. The other party might never have thought that on this dark and windy night, someone would discover his whereabouts!
Out of curiosity, she dodged and hid in the corner, holding her breath and looking towards the dark shadow.
