After becoming the villain

Chapter 41 Northland Spy
Outside the palace beast camp.

Tie Mian quietly listened to the private chats of everyone in front of him without saying a word.

He does have his own opinions...

But after listening to their words, it felt that way.

It can only be said that Tie Mian did not know that Jiang Yueling had a "Taiyin constitution".

For a time, such grace did not fade away, and the east wind prevailed over the west wind, so it was only regarded as the prince's true love.

He was even thinking—

This trip is about traveling and practicing. Should I leave on my own before arriving at the Jiang family?
Jiang Yueling was convinced that Yan Wulu was very kind to her.

As for the Jiang family, even though they were framed at the beginning, they were also kicked out by everyone in the Jiang family.

Now if I follow the prince back to the Jiang family, how should I deal with myself?

……

three days later.

Wait until all preparations have been made.

The huge team gathered in the central square of the Zhenbei Palace. They left the palace gate and walked from Yanbei Avenue to the south gate to the land east of the river.

The team has nearly two hundred top mounted guards carefully selected by Yan Dong, who serve as the Crown Prince's retinue to ensure Yan Wulu's safety.

In addition, there were many large carriages pulled by four horses. Except for three of them, most of the others were prepared for the supplies brought by Yan Wulu and his party.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a relatively special, fully sealed metal carriage in the team. Yan Dong specified that it should not be opened and was given directly to Yao Yingran, the medical sage of Yaowang Valley.

Yan Wulu was wearing a slim-fitting riding attire, and beneath him was a shiny black horse, known as the "Black Cloud Horse", which was a special gift from the right general Zhu Gongqi.

Zhu Gongqi originally wanted to personally lead the team to protect the prince's safety.

But Yan Wulu refused.

Yan Wulu pretended to be mysterious and claimed to Zhu Gongqi——

"Wulu, we still need General Xiaozhu to strengthen the power of the Shizi faction in the Zhenbei Army."

"...If General Xiaozhu also leaves with Wulu, when he comes back, won't all the Zhenbei Army become members of the general faction?"

When Zhu Gongqi heard this, he understood instantly and felt that there was a long way to go, so he happily accepted to stay in the north.

A long sword is worn on the waist, a shrink-forged spear is hung on the saddle, and a bow and arrow are placed on the side.

Yan Wulu looked heroic at the moment, riding a war horse at the front of the team to lead the way.

On the left and right sides of Yan Wulu were Master Jun Xing, Zhang Chunhua in men's clothing, Konoe Tiemen and others.

Jiang Yueling and Qiu Yue were riding in the same carriage.

When leaving the palace gate, Yan Wulu looked back.

On top of the city wall, sure enough, I saw Yan Dong's figure.

The latter didn't want to go out for actual combat experience so soon, but he also knew that this day would eventually come.

Yan Wulu smiled softly and waved goodbye.

Yan Dong on the city wall also smiled back.

Only when the entire prince's team disappeared at the end of Yanbei Avenue did Yan Dong turn around and return to the palace.

"Your Majesty." A nearby minister reported, "...His Majesty's envoy has been staying at the post house for a long time. It is best to summon him as soon as possible."

"Isn't it just a marriage?"

Yan Dong said lightly, just like the imperial court had spies in Beidi, Beidi also had spies in the imperial capital.

"...This old man from the Zhao family thinks about all kinds of irrelevant things every day."

"...Forget it, Lu'er has been sent away by me. It will take at least three months for him to come back after practicing this time."

Yan Dong said as he walked slowly towards the main hall of the palace.

A group of ministers followed closely around him.

"Your Majesty, you told the son to practice this time, and he must break through the third-rank warrior before he can come back. I am worried, will three months be too short?"

A close minister with a goatee stepped forward and said tentatively. Seeing that Yan Dong's expression did not change much, he continued -

"...If we delay for too long and make His Majesty unhappy, I'm afraid he will be worried about us."

Yan Dong glanced at the close minister with his peripheral vision.

A kind of powerful pressure from the superiors made the ministers drip with cold sweat and dare not breathe.

"Mr. Wang, being too lenient will do you no good."

Yan Dong said coldly, and then walked out, "...let the envoy come to see me in the palace."

The minister surnamed Wang breathed a sigh of relief...

His goatee seemed to twitch slightly.

Come to think of it, if he hadn't collected a large amount of gold and silver from the envoy last night, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble today.

Before the king summoned the envoys who gave the marriage, he deliberately sent the son out to travel and practice.

It was clear that he did not want to accept the marriage offered by His Majesty.

I don’t know how the relationship between Beidi and the imperial court will develop in the future.

But one thing is certain, the envoy who meets the king this time will definitely be the most unlucky person today.

With this thought in his mind, the minister surnamed Wang followed the footsteps of Zhenbei Wang Yandong.

Just after taking two steps, Yan Dong suddenly stopped and turned around, as if he remembered something, and said to the close minister——

"Master Wang, I heard that you got a lot of money yesterday?"

When the minister surnamed Wang heard this, the smile on his face instantly solidified.

"King...King, your words..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Dong waved his hand to silence him.

"The military pay, money and food recently allocated by the imperial court to the Zhenbei Army have not yet arrived. If Mr. Wang can hand over this 'flying wealth' and great righteousness, he will definitely be able to solve the urgent need of my 20 Zhenbei Army. "

Yan Dong said with deep meaning...

The minister surnamed Wang was not a fool. Looking at the sudden appearance of several tall soldiers beside him, he immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed to Yan Dong to plead guilty——

"Your Majesty makes atonement. I lost my mind for a moment and made a big mistake! I, Wang Zhaomin, are willing to hand over all my family property to solve the urgent needs of the soldiers."

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the person in front of him, Yan Dong didn't pay much attention to it, and just continued to talk to himself——

"Master Wang ruined his family to help people in trouble and was so kind. Yan Dong didn't know how to repay him for a while."

"How about this……"

Yan Dong approached Wang Zhaomin in front of him, squatted down slightly, "...I will give Mr. Wang twenty military sticks."

Wang Zhaomin was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that his life had been saved, and he kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.

Yan Dong did not stay any longer and went straight back to the palace.

Now that it has been beaten and stolen from his family's money, that's enough...

Of course, this is for creating a Northland spy.

Returning to the throne in the main hall, Yan Dong dismissed his ministers.

Taking advantage of the gap between summoning the court envoys, Yan Dong asked Ling Zhi, the chief spy of the Zhenbei Palace, to send his spies to keep an eye on Wang Zhaomin.

He will definitely fall to the court.

Creating a spy that the court thought would bring many benefits to the Zhenbei Army.

On the one hand, it can lower the court's vigilance against the Northland.

On the other hand, you can also use this spy to transmit some wrong information and obtain part of the other party's information.

Otherwise, if this were not the case, Yan Dong would not have acted with such a person for such a long time, and would have directly confiscated his home and sent him into exile, imprisoning and killing everyone he deserved!

The secret agent Ling Zhi appeared from the darkness, wearing a special uniform and directly obeying the instructions of King Zhenbei.

When Yan Dong finished his instructions, Ling Zhi immediately disappeared from the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a servant appeared and brought news that the imperial envoy was requesting an audience...
