Do you think you are a caveman now? If you see a woman you like, you can just knock her out with a stick, drag her back to the cave, and she will be your wife?

"That's fine if there isn't any." The Ninth Prince said with great satisfaction. It wasn't a loss for the prince to run away.

At this time, Xia Xuejian suddenly asked to see him. When the Ninth Prince heard that Xia Xuejian was also here, he frowned and turned to stare at Ye Qingwan: "You brought her here too?"

Ye Qingwan immediately started to act out: "Brother Muyun, I saw Sister Xuejian on the road and couldn't bear to leave her in the northern border to suffer, so I thought of bringing her here to take good care of her. You won't blame me, right?"

Ninth Prince: ...

Stop acting, please.

Xia Xuejian had already come in, holding grassland milk wine and mutton in her hands: "Your Highness, you must be hungry after sleeping in the open all the way. I brought you some food."

Ye Qingwan immediately said, "Sister is so considerate. Unlike me, I don't know how to do anything and I cause trouble for Brother Mu Yun."

Xia Xuejian: ...

Ninth Prince: ...

Ye Qingwan sobbed softly and said aggrievedly, "Then I'll leave. I won't stay here to bother Brother Mu Yun."

Just as she was about to leave, Xia Xuejian suddenly imitated her tone and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't know Miss Ye was here and she misunderstood. It's all my fault. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he whimpered for a while and ran out in small steps.

Ninth Prince: ...

Ye Qingwan: ...

Oh shit!

Met an opponent.

Xia Xuejian jogged out of the tent and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She suddenly seemed to understand why Ye Qingwan hated her so much in the past. That crying and pitiful look every day was really disgusting.

At this time, Ye Qingwan in the tent was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and immediately resumed her sobbing appearance: "I'm sorry, brother Mu Yun, it's all my fault. I made my sister cry. I don't have the face to see you again."

After saying that, she ran out in small steps, leaving the Ninth Prince alone in the wind. Are these two women sick?!

Here, Xiao Ning secretly gathered all the troops in the tent, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Prime Minister and others tonight.

Now she and the Prime Minister have already torn their faces apart, and judging from the Prime Minister's attitude, there is absolutely no way he will cooperate with them. In this case, she can only take the initiative.

A prince, a prime minister, and a tutor. Half of Dayu's empire is on their grassland. Killing them is equivalent to cutting off the left and right arms of the dog emperor. Dayu's court will inevitably be shaken.

When Dayu is in chaos, the grassland will take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and the dog emperor will be in a panic, and he will probably have to call back the king of Xiang to take charge of the situation. At that time, the king of Xiang will take the opportunity to control the government and sideline the dog emperor, and then Dayu will be completely controlled by them.

Tuoba Xiong noticed that the soldiers on the grassland were frequently mobilized, and couldn't help but run over to ask her: "Ana, what are you doing?"

Queen Mother Xiao Ning put her hands behind her back and said calmly: "Ana will clear the obstacles for you to rule the Central Plains."

Tuoba Xiong was shocked: "You don't want to attack Dayu's envoy?"

"This is what Dayu owes us."

"You are crazy. Do you know that this will drag the grassland into an irreparable situation?"

Tuoba Xiong questioned her. This was the first time he had questioned her since he was a child: "Isn't it good to live on the grassland? Why do you have to provoke a dispute between the grassland and Dayu and drag all the grassland people into the war?"

Xiao Ning rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are as useless as your father Khan. What future can you have by living on the grassland?"

Tuoba Xiong did not want to listen to her this time. He turned around and shouted, "Come here, pass on this Khan's order. All cavalry on the grassland must not move without this Khan's order."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain on the back of his head. He turned back to look at Ana in disbelief, and then fainted.

Xiao Ning's confidant heard the noise and walked in, seeing Tuoba Xiong lying on the ground: "Queen Mother, what's this?"

"Tie him up and don't let the news leak out. Just tell the public that the Great Khan is ill."

"Yes, Queen."

These words were clearly heard by Xia Xuejian, who happened to be delivering food to Xiao Ning. She hesitated for a moment, then turned around to find the Ninth Prince and told him about it.

The Ninth Prince was shocked: "Are you saying that Xiao Ning tied up the Great Khan?"

Before Xia Xuejian could explain, Shi Hu rushed in: "Ninth Prince, Queen Mother Xiao Ning has led troops to surround us. My master and the Prime Minister asked you to go over and join them."

The Ninth Prince frowned slightly. This Xiao Ning really dared to think and do.

Not daring to delay any longer, he picked up his sword and followed Shi Hu out. When he reached the door of the tent, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Xuejian, who was motionless, and asked, "You're not leaving?"

Xia Xuejian shook her head: "I am an exiled prisoner, they won't make things difficult for me, and if I stay here, I can get more information for the prince."

The Ninth Prince was a little speechless for a moment: "Actually, you don't have to do this. I don't want to owe you a favor."

Xia Xuejian smiled and said, "I am also a member of Dayu. When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a duty. What's more, I am the daughter of the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple, so Your Majesty does not need to feel guilty. You don't owe me anything."

The Ninth Prince nodded, turned and left.

By the time he arrived at the Prime Minister's tent, almost everyone was there, and Liu Sheng was in control.

"We are now behind the Yazhang. We have the advantage of 10,000 cavalrymen right behind us. We can withdraw there at any time. That place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It won't be a problem to hold it for a while."

"But the disadvantage is also obvious. We are surrounded by mountains on three sides and cannot get in touch with the army of the Northern Frontier. Even if we risk our lives to break through and spread the news, the army of the Northern Frontier will have to cross the entire grassland and fight the Yazhang head-on if they want to support us."

Once a full-scale war breaks out, it will be a war between two countries. And even if the two countries go to war, Dayu's army can only fight to the grasslands to surrender or destroy the country if they want to rescue them.

Section 128

During this period, they would be trapped in the grassland and without supplies such as food and bags, they would not be able to survive until they reach the grassland and surrender.

The Prime Minister bowed his head and thought for a while, then made a prompt decision: "I will lead 9,000 cavalry to fight head-on and draw fire. Ninth Prince, Master Liu, you lead 2,000 cavalry to break out from the side."

Out of the three of them, at least one had to get out alive.

When Liu Sheng and the Ninth Prince heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought that the Prime Minister was only using himself as a lure to cover their escape.

"Dad, I'm with you." Ye Qingwan naturally knew what her father wanted to do. In the face of national justice, her father would not back down. So it was useless to persuade him, so she just fought side by side with him.

Surprisingly, the Prime Minister did not object. Instead, he said with relief: "Dad's precious daughter has really grown up and can share Dad's worries."

But just as she finished her words, she was hit on the neck with a "bang".

But... Ye Qingwan didn't move at all.

Ye Qingwan: ...

Dad, I forgot to tell you that I have a golden bell cover!
