What To Do if You're the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

Chapter 497

Thanks to the efforts of He Yunxiao, Fan Ziruo and others, the Peace Factions of Qi and Yan could finally sit together to discuss major issues.

After several days of discussions, the peace factions of the two countries have roughly reached a unified opinion.

That is, exchange Luoyue Pass for a valley in the northeast corner of Hexi County.

The selection of this valley was also the result of discussion among the Qi people.First, the scale of the valley is small, and the narrow roads for people and horses are very limited. Second, the terrain here is wide and people cannot hide. Third, this place is not too far from Yin Jing. If the Yan army dares to show up here, they can use Yin Jing's advantage The troops blocked them back directly.It is foolproof to choose this place for exchange.

If things go well, they only need to find a way to persuade the main combatants of all parties, or to win over enough middle factions, and Qi Yan's peace agreement can be reached.

But He Yunxiao felt that things should not go so smoothly.

The King of Southwest would at least mess around.

The main site of Qi Yan's negotiation is in the compound of Yan Guo Honglu Temple.

Every time Ruobao went to a meeting, He Yunxiao would wait for her outside Honglu Temple.Since He Yunxiao also has an official position in the peace negotiation team, sometimes he would sneak into the team and listen to their wrangling.Negotiating peace is really a labor-intensive task.

It was almost noon, and Fan Ziruo and a group of officials walked out of the courtyard.

He Yunxiao rushed to meet him, "How?"

Fan Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Tell me in the car."

When he got in the car, He Yunxiao couldn't wait to ask again: "Is the peace negotiation over?"

"No."

He Yunxiao explained: "That's right, the King of the Southwest is not so easy to persuade. Even if an agreement is reached, it still needs to be polished."

Fan Ziruo looked calm and shook his head slightly.

He Yunxiao asked in surprise, "Not the King of Southwest?"

"No." Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao and said dumbfoundedly, "The Zhuhe faction who had a meeting with us has some meticulous work."

"Ah? How is this possible?"

"At today's peace meeting, we just planned to guide the topic to the general policy, but the king of Southwest just said the 'result' in detail."

"This... that's impossible... Aren't the people we're looking for all in favor of peace talks and advocating an armistice? Moreover, before the meeting with Lord Yan and the faction, we had already discussed with them individually and reached an agreement with their needs. Have you agreed on a point of view?"

Fan Ziruo is not surprised by the existence of "fine work".

She said: "It is reasonable to say that if we really solve the needs of the main peace faction of the Yan Kingdom, they will definitely not go back on their promises, release a small meeting message to the main battle faction, and deliberately sabotage the peace. Therefore, there are only two possibilities for the existence of 'fine work'." The first one is that we have misunderstood the needs of some peace leaders of the Yan Kingdom, and we have not really reached an agreement with them. The second one is that it is not the Yan Kingdom that releases the news, but our own people.”

He Yunxiao thought for a while and said, "I don't think the latter is possible. Apart from you and me, the people who will go to the small meeting are Li Gongqin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and others. Your confidant. It’s unlikely that you will deliberately sabotage the peace, right?”

Ruobao said: "What if the eldest princess ordered them to destroy it?"

He Yunxiao shook his head decisively, "Impossible."

"Husband, why are you so sure about the eldest princess's wishes?"

He Yunxiao scratched his head in embarrassment. He couldn't understand the words for a while, so he could only vaguely say: "The general trend of Qi is like this. Your Highness is a smart person, and the meeting will definitely be peaceful."

Ruobao's eyes lit up, and he praised: "I didn't expect my husband to see it so thoroughly."

Seeing Ruobao's chuckling face, He Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was right, otherwise Mengbao's identity might not be preserved when Ruobao continued to question him.

Fan Ziruo said again: "Since it is unlikely that the Eldest Princess ordered it, the only ones who leaked the result of the peace negotiation are those from the Yan Kingdom."

Similar to Mengbao's situation, the peace faction on Yan's side is basically Li Xiangjun's subordinates.

"Husband, you often say that Miss Li is restricted by her grandfather, have you really visited Li's house?"

He Yunxiao understood Ruobao's implication, she was doubting Li Xiangjun.

"No." He Yunxiao said honestly.

"Husband can't trust her easily."

"But Miss Li... I think she's pretty good." Ruobao's words have always made sense, and when He Yunxiao defended Li Xiangjun, he subconsciously lost a little bit of confidence.

Fan Ziruo smiled and said, "Ziruo didn't say that it must be Miss Li's problem. It's also possible that some people are the eyeliners sent by her side, but they just happened to be sent by Miss Li to negotiate a peace."

……

Although Ruobao didn't say it clearly, He Yunxiao could still see her concerns about Li Xiangjun.

Rationally speaking, He Yunxiao thinks that Ruobao's concerns are right, but emotionally speaking, there may be a filter of Mengbao, and He Yunxiao is unwilling to believe that Li Xiangjun is the villain.

He Yunxiao came to Tingfeng Tower alone to look for Nangong Yu'er.

After explaining her intention, Nangong Yu'er stared at He Yunxiao in astonishment.

"My lord, it's too courageous for you to secretly investigate Emperor Yan."

"Can't Tingfenglou do it?"

"Not really. It's just the first time Yu'er heard such a request."

He Yunxiao nodded, "Then trouble the girl, the price is easy to negotiate."

"There is no need for money. I just ask you to keep it secret for Yuer." Nangong Yuer looked at He Yunxiao and said seriously.

"Secret what?"

"Young master, wait a moment."

He Yunxiao watched Nangong Yu'er get up, walked out of the house softly with lotus steps, and then the sound of her footsteps gradually disappeared, and after a while, her footsteps gradually sounded, until she pushed the door open and entered.

When Nangong Yu'er came back, she was holding a small animal skin bag in her hand.

"This is……"

"My lord, please take a look." Nangong Yu'er panted slightly as she spoke, obviously leaving in a hurry.

He Yunxiao opened the small bag that Nangong Yu'er handed over, and inside were some large and small notes.And the "Li's daughter" recorded on those notes is obviously a guy with a high position.

Fuck?Li Xiangjun's secret?
He Yunxiao stared at Nangong Yu'er with wide eyes.I call him a good guy in my heart.

Did she just call me "bold"?Who is so daring?

Due to their status, few people could stare at Nangong Yu'er "directly".But now, He Yunxiao did just that.

Although his eyes were empty and devoid of any emotion, it still made the lady who was waiting in her boudoir restless.

"Young master, why are you staring at Yu'er like this?" Nangong Yu'er said embarrassedly, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I just, didn't expect you to be so brave."

"Yu'er investigates these, just to protect herself."

"If I confess these things, aren't you finished?" After He Yunxiao finished speaking, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly added: "Just kidding. Tell me this, and we will be grasshoppers on the same rope from now on. I will help you keep the secret."

Nangong Yu'er smiled slightly and said, "My lord, you can be more refined and say 'one is prosperous, all are prosperous'."

He Yunxiao smiled and said: "It's easy to handle. From now on, if I have a bite of food, you will have a bowl brush."

Nangong Yu'er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

Looking at the beauty on the opposite side who was trembling with laughter, He Yunxiao admired it for a moment, then gradually put away his playful thoughts, and focused on the information in the animal skin bag.
