Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1056: Running around again!

Just as Nie Chong was riding his horse and bringing Shan Tong'er into Hulao Pass, a group of people and horses also arrived at the Qin King's camp.

Mu Xian went to pick up the man in person, and then took him to the King of Qin's tent. But when he walked in, he found that Yuwen Ye had fallen asleep on the table with a map of Hulao Pass on it, and the oil lamp next to him was almost burned out.

Seeing this, Mu Xian subconsciously took a step back.

He wanted to leave and wait for Yuwen Ye to sleep for a while before coming back to report. But before he left the tent, he heard Yuwen Ye's sober and calm voice behind him: "What's the matter?"

Mu Xian immediately turned around: "Your Highness, are you awake?"

Yuwen Ye slowly sat up straight, his eyes slightly red under the flickering lights, but his expression was calm and composed. He said, "I'm not asleep, I'm just resting. What's the matter?"

Mu Xian walked back, saluted, and said, "The people sent to Xiazhou have returned."

"Oh?"

The remaining fatigue in Yuwen Ye's eyes disappeared instantly, and he immediately said, "Bring the person in!"

Mu Xian turned around and shouted outside. A soldier immediately walked into the tent and saluted Yuwen Ye. He immediately said, "No need to be polite. Have you found out the whereabouts of the Princess of Qin?"

The soldier shook his head: "No."

Yuwen Ye's brows immediately frowned, his eyes full of loss and worry. Seeing him like this, Mu Xian, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh.

The soldier continued, "But we heard something. It is said that the Western Turkic Khan did not go to Xiazhou after he went south, but turned around and went to Suizhou."

"Suizhou?"

Hearing this, Yuwen Ye and Mu Xian looked at each other with surprised expressions. Mu Xian asked, "What is he doing in Suizhou?"

The soldier said, "We originally thought that he might make some moves towards Suizhou, or make a feint to the east and attack in the west, but we sent people to investigate and found that there was no unusual movement in Suizhou; and Ashina Zhuye returned very quickly. After knowing that Xiazhou was lost, he did not send any more troops, but took his people back to Western Turkestan."

Mu Xian took a deep breath and said, "It seems that someone or something in Suizhou led him there. So, is this the reason why the crisis in Xiazhou can be resolved?"

"..."

"Who and what?"

As he said this, he seemed to feel something himself, and Yuwen Ye's expression became even more solemn.

He asked, "Did he bring anyone else with him when he returned?"

The soldier said, "We sent people to follow and investigate, and found that there was only his Khatun and some trusted generals, but no one else."

"..."

"Also, we heard that Wang Shaoqiu died in Suizhou."

"What!?"

At this moment, even Yuwen Ye showed a surprised expression. He looked at the soldier with wide eyes: "Did you hear it right? Wang Shaoqiu is dead?"

The soldier nodded solemnly and said, "No, Wang Shaoqiu is indeed dead. He died in Tianding Mountain in Suizhou."

"..."

"We met his entourage on the road, but we didn't fight. We just heard that they don't know how to return to Luoyang and explain to Liang Shide."

"..."

"I knew the matter was not simple, so I immediately came back to report to Your Highness." Yuwen Ye took a deep breath.

Something must have happened at Tianding Mountain in Suizhou.

Wang Shaoqiu went to see Ashina Zhuye. Now it seems that Liang Shide must have sent him to contact the Western Turkic Khan to ask for his support to solve the current predicament in Luoyang. But someone or something attracted them both to Tianding Mountain near Suizhou, and then something happened there, causing Wang Shaoqiu to die there.

At the same time, the danger in Xiazhou was resolved. Ashina Zhuye knew that the situation was hopeless, so he retreated back to the Turks.

So, in Suizhou——

When Mu Xian spoke, his voice was a little hoarse because he was too excited and nervous: "Your Highness, is it the princess?"

Yu Wenye said nothing.

After a moment of silence, he said to the soldier, "You've worked hard. Go down and claim your reward."

The soldier saluted and turned away. When everyone left, Mu Xian immediately walked up to Yuwen Ye and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it was the princess. The princess led Ashina Zhuye and Wang Shaoqiu to Suizhou, killed Wang Shaoqiu, and saved Xiazhou from danger, right?"

Although it was a question, the excessive excitement and joy on his face when he said these words clearly showed that he was certain of this matter.

And a hint of pride flashed in Yuwen Ye's eyes.

But the next moment, his face immediately darkened, and he said solemnly: "Running around again!"

Hearing these three words, Mu Xian's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Yuwen Ye's face, he immediately understood. He dared not speak and could only shut his mouth. Yuwen Ye lowered his head and looked at the map that had been spread on the table for half a day and had taken on a little body temperature. After gently drawing a line with his finger, he said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Tongguan immediately!"

Mu Xian was stunned: "What are you going to Tongguan for——"

Before he could finish his words, he looked at Yuwen Ye's dark face and immediately understood.

The crisis in Xiazhou has been resolved, and Wang Shaoqiu's death in Tianding Mountain has happened at least ten days ago. If Shang Ruyi really did it, then according to her pace, she should have reached Tongguan after leaving Suizhou.

If, she really returns to Chang'an.

Just thinking about this, Mu Xian immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still said immediately: "I will send someone right away."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he heard a "clang" behind him. He didn't know what Yuwen Ye kicked over, and the tent suddenly became dark. The loud noise made Mu Xian and several guards outside the tent tremble. Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to speak. They could only silently go about their own business.

Yuwen Ye in the big tent just looked at the mess in the darkness with a sullen face, silently.

I don’t know how long it took, but the darkness was gradually dispelled by the morning light shining through the tent.

It’s almost dawn.

The entire military camp gradually began to make noises, but perhaps because people knew what had happened last night, no one dared to approach the central military tent even though there were noises. Everyone seemed to be trying to avoid provoking the wrath of His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

And Yuwen Ye also let himself sink into the anger that could not be relieved at this moment.

Until, footsteps were heard outside again.

"Your Highness..."

Mu Xian's voice sounded outside the tent again.

Yuwen Ye couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Mu Xian, who had been with him the longest and knew his feelings the best, would come to disturb him at this time. He was about to tell him to get out of here, but he heard Mu Xian say in a deep voice, "Something happened."
