Chapter 298 The Contrived Prince
Chapter 298 The Contrived Prince
Baili Moqing snorted lightly and sat back at the dining table, facing the table full of food but with no appetite.
At this moment, Zhenli strode in with a look of anxiety on his face. "Your Highness, Prince Xiaoyang has successfully negotiated a peace with the Northern Di people. The two sides are preparing to sign the contract in the camp."
"The peace talks were successful? Didn't you say last night that you would discuss it another day?"
Yesterday's peace talks were a joke. First, Zhu Zifeng publicly accused Shu He of mixing up the royal bloodline, then Yi'er disappeared, and finally, there was Nangong Xiyun's incident...
One crisis after another arose, which really made the Northern Di people suffer a huge joke.
I originally thought of discussing it another day, but I didn't expect that they would actually decide this matter privately!
"What about the conditions?"
Zhenli knew he was going to ask and quickly replied, "The mountain range north of Mangshan was given to the Northern Di. At this time, the Northern Di army has blocked that mountainous area and made it part of the Northern Di territory."
Baili Moqing's eyes flickered slightly, and a bit of worry rose in his heart, "The entrance to the Mountain Valley has also been included?"
"Yes, the entire thirty miles south of the ridge road has been taken over by the Northern Di people."
After hearing this, Baili Moqing's expression turned even uglier. "How could the Emperor's uncle do such a stupid thing!"
Zhen Li was embarrassed and felt that King Xiaoyang was a little aggrieved. "Your Majesty, King Xiaoyang doesn't know the secret deep in Mang Mountain. He thought Beidi just wanted an ordinary mountain..."
Before he could finish his words, Baili Moqing suddenly stood up, with a hint of panic on his face, and his tone and voice slightly raised.
"What did you say? Have the terms of the peace talks been agreed?"
"Huh?" Zhen Li was confused. Didn't the prince ask this question just now? Why was he asking it again?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Baili Moqing glanced at him unhappily.
Zhenli was still confused, with a pair of confused eyes that didn't know where to put.
Baili Moqing was speechless. He just glared at him angrily and then said to himself, "The emperor's uncle gave the northern part of Mangshan to Beidi?"
Zhenli looked at him stupidly. Didn’t the prince already know about this?
Why did the prince say the same thing twice? Moreover, the second time was obviously unnatural!
At this moment, a cyan figure trotted over and pulled Zhenli over. "You said King Xiaoyang gave the northern part of Mangshan to Beidi?"
Seeing the anxious look on the visitor's face, Zhenli suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that those two sentences were meant for her...
He looked at Baili Moqing with a puzzled and shocked look, which finally turned into a sigh under the man's unmoved expression.
This mental journey is quite complicated!
"I'm asking you a question!" Shu He saw him in a daze and asked anxiously, "Didn't Shanwaigu give it to him?"
Zhenli composed himself and replied seriously, "King Xiaoyang didn't know about the Mountain Valley, so he was deceived by the Beidi people and gave the area of the Mountain Valley to the Beidi people."
"What?!!"
Shu He almost jumped up! That was her financial lifeline for returning to Beijing for revenge! How could she give it to Cheng Beidi?
Thinking of what Shen Lanzhi said last night, she suddenly understood.
"So this is what he was referring to! That damn Shen Lanzhi!"
After cursing, Shu He was about to go find Shen Lanzhi to settle the score. Seeing this, Baili Moqing quietly pushed Zhen Li.
Zhenli looked at him in confusion, and then when he saw his knife-like eyes falling on him, he understood in an instant.
"Uh, Miss Shu, they are now supporting the Northern Camp and preparing to sign the contract."
Since Shu He's identity was exposed, they knew that she actually gave birth to a child out of wedlock, so Zhen Li changed her name from "Mrs. He" to Miss Shu.
Seeing that Shu He ignored him and continued walking, Baili Moqing pushed Zhen Li again.
Zhen Li was speechless and could only speak again, "If the prince hadn't led the way, you might not be able to get in to the Aid Northern Camp alone!"
After hearing this, Shu He really stopped.
Baili Moqing sat down upon seeing this, looking as if he was seriously eating his breakfast.
When Zhenli turned around and saw this scene, he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Is the prince possessed? Is it necessary to be so pretentious?
Baili Moqing was eating and waited for a long time but the woman didn't speak. When he looked up, he saw that there was no one in the yard.
Zhen Li looked at his surprised face and tried not to laugh. "Your Highness, they ran away a long time ago."
Anger rose on Baili Moqing's gloomy face, and he finally threw the chopsticks away.
"My Lord, where are you going?"
Shu He walked towards the north city gate, and as soon as he arrived, he saw a group of people running towards the south of the city.
"Hurry, hurry, the situation has gotten out of hand. Even the princess and the prince are here. It looks like Yang You's good days are coming to an end!"
"The princess and the prince are here too? Which prince? Prince Li?"
"It's not Prince Li, it's Prince Xiaoyang! The Emperor's younger brother!"
……
Shu He grabbed two onlookers and said, "Brother, please tell me, what's going on? Why are all the people running to the south of the city?"
The elder brother looked at her impatiently, but when he saw that she was beautiful and well-dressed, he changed his attitude to a friendly one.
"Miss, you don't know yet, do you? This morning, a woman brought a blood letter to the Northern Aid Camp to ask King Xiaoyang to redress her grievances!"
"At the same time, someone discovered a dozen or so bodies piled up in front of the entrance to the military residence. By this time, the families of the deceased had already surrounded the residence!"
Another person said, "Not only that, I heard that Prince Xiaoyang received the blood letter and has already gone to the military headquarters. It seems that something big is going to happen in Beisha City today!"
"Girl, we won't talk to you anymore. We need to go check out the situation!"
After the two walked away, Shu He murmured.
"Could it be that Yang Daya has taken action? So fast?"
Wait, did they just say that Prince Xiaoyang went to the Military Office? But didn't Zhenli say that he was in the Northern Aid Camp signing a contract with the Northern Di people?
"Sheaves?"
At this time, the sound of the south was heard in the distance.
Shu He turned around and saw him running over. "What are you doing here? The show is about to begin, aren't you going to watch it?"
"A good show?"
"Yeah, didn't you ask me to help that Miss Yang deal with Yang You?"
"This Miss Yang is quite capable. Her methods are truly admirable!"
Shu He was a little surprised. What did Yang Daya do that even Nanqi praised her?
"Come on, come on, the show is about to begin. If you go too late, you won't be able to see the exciting scenes!"
"No, I have to go find King Xiaoyang. It's urgent!"
Shu He refused, saying that the matter of Shanwai Valley was more important and Yang You’s matter could wait.
"Prince Xiaoyang has already gone to the military headquarters. Where are you going to find him?"
"Ah? Then hurry up and go!"
This time, before Nanqi could urge her, she ran away first.
Baili Moqing's carriage came slowly, and when he opened the curtain, he saw the backs of Shu He and Nan Qi.
Zhenli clearly felt the air pressure in the car drop.
He sighed softly, "Your Majesty, can't you just speak openly about your thoughts?"
Being so sneaky, like a thief! It's really beneath your dignity!
A clearly displeased voice echoed from within the carriage. "When did you become as chatty as Nanqi?"
Zhenli chuckled, "People change, don't they? Your Highness, haven't you changed too?"
The person in the car snorted coldly, "Why don't you feel that I have changed at all?"
Zhen Li couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth under the silver mask. "Well, you are the prince, whatever you say is what it is!"
Baili Moqing was a little annoyed, "I see, you also want to copy the Prajna Pure Heart Sutra."
Zhenli curled his lips and stopped talking.
Only people with a strong murderous aura need to copy the Prajna Heart Sutra. He is not Xizhu, so he doesn't want to copy that thing!
After a moment's silence, Baili spoke.
"Mobilize the troops and drive the Northern Di soldiers back from Mount Mang!"
"Yes!"
