At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from a hidden place and hit his feet. Like before, there was a note stuck on the tip of the arrow.
Aleshi looked over suddenly.
Yan An in the dark curled his lips at him and turned away.
Alesi: ...
He frowned and took off the note, thinking that it would be like the previous one, with some insulting words about Lance.
But when he saw the content clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted, his palms clenched violently, and even his breathing paused for a moment.
He read this short line of words several times, and even suspected that he was not proficient in speaking the official language, so he read it wrong.
He didn't care about the granary and just stared at it blankly. After an unknown amount of time, he came to his senses and pretended nothing had happened and stuffed the note into his chest.
After dealing with the granary, he quickly went to find King Dinu.
After looking around and making sure no one was eavesdropping, he took out the note.
King Dinu glanced at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was very excited: "Where did it come from?"
"It was sent by the captain of the Dasheng surprise attack force."
King Dinu was not excited when he heard this: "Da Sheng? That would reduce the credibility too much. This might just be their trick."
Aleshi said, "I don't think so."
King Dinu frowned and said, "Alesi, don't let beauty fool you. The lesson of Reims is still there!"
Alesi: ...
"If Dasheng really develops an antidote..."
"Shh-"
King Dinu pondered and said, "Then we will naturally have to make another plan, but the premise is that there is really an antidote? You also know the wonders of Ga Pian..."
Aleshi said nothing.
Only those who have tried it know what an evil thing it is.
King Dinu urged, "Burn this note quickly. Lance must not know about it."
The flames coiled around, and the note was gradually devoured and turned into ashes.
Aleshi stared at the small tongue of fire and felt as if his dead heart was wrapped in flames and burning again.
"Father, now that Lance is seriously injured, it is a great time for us to cooperate with Dasheng. I am willing to believe in Dasheng. If there really is... this war should end."
King Dinu: ...
He was silent for a long time, as if he was weighing the pros and cons: "Since you are willing to believe, then I will take a gamble with you. The worst that can happen is this."
"In front of Lance..." King Dinu said, "You must remain silent. Just like before, he has a keen sense of emotions."
"Um……"
"Also, we need to hurry up and find a way to call Lance to hide the Ga Pian."
King Dinu took out a small medicine bottle from the cabinet, poured out a pill and handed it to Aleshi: "I think your attack will happen in the next two days, so take my pill first."
Aleshi refused: "No, I can get through it."
He turned and left, having made up his mind.
At night, Aleshi changed into night clothes and came to the place agreed on the note, but there was no one there.
Yan An did not show up either.
But Aleshi was very patient and didn't think it was a trap. He thought he knew Lu Ren quite well.
Besides, what's the point of arresting him? He's just a pawn of Lance.
One stick of incense later, Yan An appeared.
"You're smart. You didn't play any tricks."
Yan'an had a piece of grass in his mouth. It was not the foxtail grass he usually held in his mouth, but a weed he picked up casually.
Dogtail grass only grows vigorously in summer and autumn, and occasionally some tenacious ones can survive into winter, but the climate in Beiyangguan is extremely harsh, so it is difficult for dogtail grass to survive.
Yan An walked to Aleshi in a nonchalant manner and slowly stood still: "Since you are here, does that mean you have made up your mind?"
Aleshi did not answer immediately, but asked: "Is there really an antidote?"
Yan An did not give a direct answer, but asked in return: "Do you believe the princess?"
Alesi: ...
A string of question marks appeared above his head: "What do you mean? The antidote was developed by the princess?"
"If you believe in the princess, then you believe there is an antidote."
Alesi: ...
"Excuse me, what's the connection?"
If this antidote was really developed by the princess, then it is estimated that...
Yan An seemed to see what Aleshi was thinking, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face: "Why, you don't believe the princess?"
"I believe the princess, but the antidote is not a simple matter."
Yan An spit out the grass in his mouth and suddenly asked, "Do you like the princess?"
Alesi: ...
The topic changed too quickly, he paused, then said: "I don't like it."
Yan An sighed when he heard this, "There is indeed an antidote."
Aleshi's expression turned serious.
The cold wind whistled past, covering up the sound of the two people's conversation.
When Aleshi returned to the royal court and changed out of his nightgown, he sat quietly at the table for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled with relief as if all the burdens had been lifted off his shoulders.
Wen Yu's lazy face and Yan An's words "Do you like the princess?" flashed through his mind.
If nothing had happened, he would have been just the proud and ostentatious Prince Dinu as before. He thought that he was qualified to marry the princess. He was willing to give up the position of crown prince and go to Shengjing City for a real marriage.
But he is just a mess now, so how can he say that he likes the princess?
Aleshi took a sip of tea and stopped thinking about it.
He knew there was still a tough battle to fight and now was not the time to relax.
At this time, someone came to say that Lance wanted to see him.
Aleshi's heart tightened. When she stepped into the room, Lance was still looking at his chest with his head down, his fingers turning the black iron chain on his wrist from time to time.
"Where have you been? I looked for you three times and you were not there."
Aleshi was very calm: "I went to check the southwest granary. It was attacked by surprise troops again today."
"By the way, Yan An shot another arrow to provoke you."
He took out a note from his pocket and handed it to him. It read: Bastard
Lance sneered and threw it away. The note fell lightly to the ground. He didn't care at all.
What is the difference between a dog that has lost its brand and a mongrel?
