After becoming the villain

Chapter 208 "Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den" and "Three Chapters of the Agreement"

time flies.

The imperial edict from Jinling finally arrived as scheduled.

The imperial edict also specified the date for the "exchange of people and land" agreed between the Daqian Dynasty and the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang.

This is how it is between dynasties, even trivial matters and additional conditions can be discussed for nearly a month.

Of course, it is also possible that Yan Wulu doesn't care about these, so he thinks these are trivial matters.

Yan Wulu put Yun Qingzhi's matter aside for the first time and began to gather his troops and prepare to go to Northern Xinjiang.

Yan Wulu personally led the army, accompanied by his "brother-in-law" Li Mieling, his second apprentice Nan Chuanyue, young generals Guo Siyuan and Yan Xiao, and left general Wu Yuechang.

Because it was mainly escorting... it could even be said to be escorting Wanyan Lie back to Northern Xinjiang. There was a kind of envoy nature in it, so he didn't bring too many people.

But because it is the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang, a barbaric land and a hostile country in the eyes of the Daqian people, a certain number of soldiers and horses are still indispensable.

In the end, Yan Wulu led a total of five thousand sergeants, which was enough.

Qingsi, Chen Danyang and other staff officials advised Yan Wulu to take more with him, in case of danger, to ensure that the prince returned to the north safely.

But Yan Wulu waved his hand slightly and refused.

All the people in northern Xinjiang are soldiers.

As an envoy, he went deep into the grasslands of northern Xinjiang. If he still had such a life-and-death dispute with the other party, he would be unwise. No matter how many troops he brought, it would be useless.

5000 people is also the limit for the largest number of missions in history.

Bringing this number of sergeants can maintain a certain level of deterrence without violating the etiquette of the mission too much.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that -

At that time, Yan Wulu was wearing "Golden Ni Lingxiao Armor", ordered his troops and horses, and was preparing to leave Yanbeicheng.

Taiping Princess Zhao Lingrui and Jiang Yueling unexpectedly found Yan Wulu one after another by coincidence, saying that they wanted to go to Northern Xinjiang with Yan Wulu.

At that time, Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui first found Yan Wulu in the soldiers and horse camp of the Zhenbei Army.

she says--

"Wulu Consort, this princess has never seen the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang. Wanyan Jin Kingdom, a country that has been at war with me for decades, I am also very curious about what kind of country it is."

"...Furthermore, I heard that there is also a famous princess in Wanyan Jin Kingdom in Northern Xinjiang. The eldest princess of Northern Xinjiang, Wanyan Lingxu, is the 'Pearl of the Grassland' in Northern Xinjiang. I want to go and take a look at this Wanyan Lingxu." Can Xu really bear the word 'Pearl'?"

When Yan Wulu heard this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile helplessly.

He rejected Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui on the grounds that "in the wild land of Longtan and tiger's lair in the northern border, how could a princess with a daughter of gold enter the dangerous place in person".

Princess Taiping was indignant.

But then, Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui's peach blossom eyebrows were slightly curved, and she had quietly made a decision in her heart...

Yan Wulu left the military camp and then arrived at Zhenbei Palace.

After arranging and preparing the last matters in the Northland, and ordering the nuns to go to Jiang's house more often, to take good care of the little princess Jiang Rongya for themselves, and then led the soldiers around to set off to join the army outside the city.

The procession reached the corridor of the palace.

Jiang Yueling, now the governor-general, came in a hurry.

Logically speaking, Jiang Yueling had just given birth not long ago, so she should be weak and in need of more rest.

However, I don’t know whether Yan Wulu’s own inherent impression is wrong or whether Jiang Yueling’s physique is special.

Jiang Yueling recovered well shortly after giving birth to the little princess.

On the second day, Jiang Yueling was already alive and kicking, even more energetic than before.

And today, more than half a month has passed, and Jiang Yueling's curvy figure has returned to being as flawless and impeccable as before she was pregnant.

Jiang Yueling came to Yan Wulu.

She quietly looked at Yan Wulu wearing the "Golden Ni Lingxiao Armor" made by herself, and Jiang Yueling was a little distracted for a moment.

"Brother Wulu, have you decided to go to Northern Xinjiang?"

"Yes." Yan Wulu replied, and then he chuckled and asked, "...Does Yue Ling still need to entrust me with anything?"

"There is one more."

Jiang Yueling said that she came to Yan Wulu and touched the armor on his body. She was very satisfied and continued: "...Brother Wulu, take me with you and go to Northern Xinjiang together."

"what?"

Yan Wulu was a little surprised. He felt that how could Jiang Yueling, a female prostitute, go deep into the dangerous areas of northern Xinjiang with him?

They went to Northern Xinjiang not just for fun.

"Northern Xinjiang is dangerous and unpredictable..."

"...Furthermore, little Princess Rong Ya has just been born now, and I can no longer accompany her. Yue Ling, you should spend more time with her on my behalf."

"That's right. Rong Ya, Rong Ya..."

Jiang Yueling looked melancholy as she spoke. Suddenly, her eyes changed and her expression became delicate and savage.

"...I don't care, I'm going!"

"...Last time you went to Jinling, you didn't take me with you for several months. I was bored to death in Yanbei! This time you are going to Northern Xinjiang again. Who knows how long it will take this time? You have to take it with you this time. I go."

Seeing Jiang Yueling, his painting style suddenly changed.

Yan Wulu was also slightly shocked. Since Jiang Yueling became pregnant, she has gradually become more and more steady and gentle, and more and more like the dignified appearance that a mother should have.

Yan Wulu originally thought that Jiang Yueling had become more mature and steady after having children, but now it seems that he still has the same temperament as before...

However, no matter what kind of disposition, Yan Wulu likes Jiang Yueling like this.

"I will go to Northern Xinjiang and hand over Wanyan Lie to the people in Northern Xinjiang. Then I will return to Yanbei. It will take at least seventeen or eight days and at most only about a month. It won't take long." Yan Wulu finally tried to persuade. road.

"Since it won't take long, why don't you take me with you?!"

Faced with Jiang Yueling's seemingly well-founded rebuttal, Yan Wulu was helpless for a moment.

He gently placed a hand on Jiang Yueling's cheek and said -

"Okay, since Yue Ling insists on this, then I will take Yue Ling and you to the northern border."

"...It's just that before that, Yue Ling, you have to make a three-part agreement with me."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueling's face lit up and she said directly: "Don't mention the three chapters of the agreement, even if it is three hundred chapters, it all depends on you, Brother Wulu!"

"It's a deal. I'll tell you in the marching team then."

After saying that, Yan Wulu, who was wearing armor, held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, took Jiang Yueling's right hand with the other, and headed outside the city.

Arriving at the Yanbei City Gate to meet up, the team had just set off, and not far away, they met Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui again.

Zhao Lingrui was wearing a bright red slim riding outfit, and was followed by more than a dozen equally skilled female cavalry guards.

...These female cavalry guards were all the female guards of Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui in Jinling. Later, with the approval of both the old emperor and the King of Zhenbei, they set out from Jinling and followed Zhao Lingrui to Yanbei.

"Wulu Consort, this princess has decided to go to Northern Xinjiang by herself!"

Zhao Lingrui was as proud as a red phoenix at this time, reining in the reins and arrogantly saying, "... Wulu's consort is here. Anyway, he is on his way. Do you want to protect me all the way to Northern Xinjiang?"

As Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui was speaking, she drove her horse to Yan Wulu, but her eyes suddenly changed.

Because, she saw a beautiful woman beside Yan Wulu among a group of Zhenbei sergeants...

It was Jiang Yueling, the concubine who gave birth to the first child of the crown prince Yan Wulu.

When Zhao Lingrui saw this, she reacted, couldn't help but feel angry, and exclaimed——

"Okay, Yan Wulu, didn't you say that Northern Xinjiang is dangerous and does not take women with you?!"

"...In the end, I secretly brought the eldest daughter of the Jiang family with me. I wonder if you want to hide from me and secretly kiss me with your little beauty in Northern Xinjiang!"

Seeing the charming princess who was furious in front of her.

Yan Wulu was a little dizzy for a while.

He suddenly discovered that it was indeed not good to have too many women around him.

Yan Wulu suddenly wanted to know how Pingxi King Wu Zesan lived peacefully with his hundreds of wives.
Thoughts continued in his mind, but Yan Wulu still kept his spirits up, waved his hands to Zhao Lingrui, and said with a sneer -

"Your Highness, there is absolutely no such thing, there is absolutely no such thing."

Jiang Yueling beside him also hurriedly came forward to explain.

However, Jiang Yueling's riding skills were not good to begin with. He tried his best to explain while being distracted by controlling the horse, which seemed a little inadequate.

However, Zhao Lingrui still seemed unwilling to let these two people go...

Yan Wulu sighed in his heart, it would be great if Zhang Chunhua was here, she would definitely have a way to help her bring back this bad-tempered princess.

He chuckled helplessly in his heart, and Yan Wulu immediately stepped forward.

He directly put his arm around Zhao Lingrui's shoulder and pulled her into his arms, and covered Zhao Lingrui's chattering mouth very affectionately with his other hand.

Yan Wulu felt that the surroundings were finally much quieter. He slowly explained -

"Your Highness, this is the end of it."

"...The reason why I brought Yueling with me was because she made a three-part agreement with me and promised to abide by it. I didn't think that you, Princess, could abide by these rules, so I didn't agree to take you with me at that time."

Zhao Lingrui looked confused when he heard this.

Are there any regulations that Jiang Yueling can abide by but she cannot?
While he was thinking about it, suddenly, an idea came to Zhao Lingrui's mind...

She recalled Yan Wulu's behavior like a "devil in lust" that night when he rested in Yaowang Valley on the way back to the North.

Considering Jiang Yueling's status as his eldest son's concubine, and the fact that she and he have not yet been married, she is also a "noble person" and has psychological resistance to those things before marriage.

Zhao Lingrui swallowed slightly.

She felt as if she had guessed what the "three chapters of the agreement" between Yan Wulu and Jiang Yueling were.

Her mind kept reminiscing about the crazy time she had with Yan Wulu that night in Yaowang Valley...

Although... Yan Wulu is indeed very powerful and makes himself very happy, but people can't... at least they shouldn't...

Zhao Lingrui was in a state of confusion at the moment. Even though Yan Wulu covered his mouth, he still kept saying words that Yan Wulu was too obscene.

Yan Wulu couldn't understand what Zhao Lingrui was talking about.

I just thought that the other party was protesting, and I felt that I could also do these "three chapters of the agreement"...

Yan Wulu chuckled and said——

"Well, as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess also makes a three-part agreement with Wu Lu and promises to fulfill it, Wu Lu can also take the princess to Northern Xinjiang."

Zhao Lingrui opened her eyes slightly when she heard this.

Yan Wulu thought that the other party had agreed, so he released his hand covering the other party's mouth.

As a result, in the next moment, Zhao Lingrui suddenly bit Yan Wulu's hand that he had just let go of.

Yan Wulu took it back with a slight pain.

Zhao Lingrui immediately stood up and shouted——

"This princess will never agree to do that or that with you in bed just to please you?!"

When Yan Wulu, Jiang Yueling and others heard this, they seemed to suddenly turn to stone.

The sergeants around were also shocked...

They seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

……

……

The messenger team continued to march north.

Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui finally joined Yan Wulu's escort team.

Although there were some extremely embarrassing episodes in the middle, fortunately, it was fully explained quickly.

The three chapters of the agreement between Yan Wulu, Jiang Yueling and Zhao Lingrui are also very simple. They are -

[-]. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Yueling and Zhao Lingrui must hide their identities as the Crown Princess and must not reveal their true identity, especially Zhao Lingrui, who is also the Princess of Daqian.

[-]. Wear men's clothing and use the identity of Yan Wulu's personal servant as a cover. He cannot leave the team and act alone.

[-]. Follow Yan Wulu's arrangements. When necessary, Jiang Yueling and Zhao Lingrui may need to return to the North in advance.

……

Yan Wulu's 5000-strong envoy team has already set off.

However, Yan Wulu, as the leader, was in no rush to reach the territory of Northern Xinjiang.

Three days after setting off, they were still in the Northland.

Naturally, this could not be because the Northland was so vast that it took three days to get out, but because... Yan Wulu was waiting for news.

Finally, the homing pigeon flew from the horizon.

Sergeant Zhenbei took down the letter brought by the carrier pigeon and handed it to Yan Wulu.

Opening the letter paper, it was clearly written -

[The Hetao area, Ningbian Prefecture, has been entrusted to our army. ——Zhu Gongqi. 】

Yan Wulu glanced at it, smiled slightly, and then crumpled the letter into a ball, shattering it with internal force.

Beside him, Li Mieling also saw the contents of the letter just now, and he stepped forward and asked——

"Brother-in-law, in the land of three states, the talents of Northern Xinjiang are only given to us in one state, Ningbian. Do we still want to set off now?"

Hearing this, Yan Wulu chuckled and said -

"We have made money by exchanging land for people. Naturally, it is impossible to hand over all the land of the three states to us at once."

"...The people from Northern Xinjiang can be considered sincere if they give Ningbian Prefecture first."

"...Let's go. We've been wandering around the Northland for three days. We've got enough airs and it's time to set off."

When Li Mieling heard the news, he handed over his hand and ordered the cavalry around him to go to the team to deliver the news of breaking camp.

The team set off immediately and continued north.

……

Northern Xinjiang.

Wanyan Jinguo.

Yan Wulu's envoy team has entered the territory of Northern Xinjiang, and the Northern Xinjiang cavalry has come to guide them through the grassland and directly to the Baikal King City.

Today's king of Northern Xinjiang is young and has not yet ruled in person. The actual political power of the Wanyan Jin Kingdom is mainly determined by the three "principal kings" through consultation.

Among them, the three ministers in charge are the eldest princess Wanyan Lingxu, the king of the North Court Wanyan Lie, and the king of the South Court Wanyan Fen.

Although on the surface, it is claimed that there are "three major ruling kings and ministers".

But in fact, the Eldest Princess Wanyan Lingxu became one of the three main rulers entirely by virtue of her own wisdom, the Eldest Princess' reputation, and the reliance of the King of Beijiang, the real power that can be used in her hands Not much.

The most powerful military power in Northern Xinjiang is in the hands of Wan Yanlie, the king and general of the North Court, and Wan Yanfen, the king of the South Court.

These two men had many generals following them.

Wanyan Lie, the king of Beiyuan, was also one of the supporters of the eldest princess Wanyan Lingxu.

Therefore, in order to consolidate and ensure his own power, it is particularly important for Wanyan Lingxu to exchange Wanyan Lie from the hands of Daqian and Beidi.

"...For this reason, this time we are mainly starting from the eldest princess Wanyan Lingxu. We will strive for the greatest benefits for Beidi...and Daqian while ensuring that the three states of Hetao are obtained."

Yan Wulu analyzed and spoke to everyone in the temporary tent.

Because he saw that Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui was also present, he added the word "Da Qian" to his words.
