Yu Jia's scheme had almost succeeded and almost ruined his plans. He could not be careless in guarding this Turkic girl and confiscated her golden saber. Lin Wanrong then tied her up tightly until she lay weakly on the grass, unable to move anymore. Only then did Lin Wanrong feel completely at ease.
Returning to the simple and crude commander's tent, he laid down on the messy grass. Thinking about how this place was only 300 li away from Kizil and that the shrewd Turkic Right King was camped by Lake Wu 20 li away, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
It had been a few months since he left the capital and entered Kizil. He did not know how Qiaoqiao and the Grand Mistress were doing at home. Did Xian 'er and Qing Xuan quarrel? Did Ning 'er and the Grand Mistress quarrel? Did Talented Lady Luo draw any more passionate paintings that only I can see? Do these beauties often think of me?
Counting the days, Qing Xuan's belly should be bulging. Is the little fellow inside a son or daughter? Does he know that his father is fighting a war outside?
It's fine if he doesn't think about it. Once he thought about it, a deep longing came rolling in like the tides of Lake Wu. Those moving faces, sometimes cool and elegant, sometimes bashful, sometimes charming, one by one floated in front of his eyes, making his heart happy and sour at the same time. He wished he could immediately grow a pair of wings and fly back to the capital so he could confide his feelings to the ladies. When she thought of the depths of her love, she was already tearing up and itching for action.
I can't sleep anymore! In his impatience, he simply climbed up from the haystack and splashed some water on his face. A cold feeling seeped into his heart and he let out a long sigh. He felt as if there was something soft pressing against his chest, making him feel itchy.
He took out two handfuls from his robes and when he took them out, he could not help but laugh. Crescent Moon's straw doll is really interesting. She even made me wear the robes of the barbarians. Could it be that she really wants me to be her son-in-law? But this girl's craftsmanship is not bad. At least she made me look handsome.
He was smugly flipping the straw doll over and over again. Beside him, there was a 'pu chi' sound. After a while of light laughter, Ning Xianzi's voice leisurely came over, "Who made this grass doll? It looks like you — it's like a little thief!"
"Big Sister is right." Lin Wanrong turned around with a mischievous smile and held her hands tightly. "I'm just a little thief — a little thief who specializes in stealing the hearts of fairies."
"Shameless." Ning Yuxi blushed. Taking the straw doll from the other party's hands, he examined it carefully for a moment before shaking his head helplessly. "This Turkic lady is indeed nimble. However, no matter how smart she is, she has already entered your trap. No matter how she struggles, she won't be able to escape."
Her tone was soft and a little melancholy. She was talking about Yujia, but wasn't it a portrayal of her current state of mind?
Ning Yuxi's skin was whiter than snow, and her white dress made her look like a fairy. Under the moonlight, she looked like a person from a painting. However, there were a few strands of sorrow between her eyebrows, which made this beautiful fairy look a little more human.
Lin Wanrong held her little hand and shook his head slightly: "Fairy sister, you have lived in Fairy Mountain for a long time and are used to Penglai. You have never deeply experienced the intrigue and deceit of this world. That's why you said this. Although this Yujia is young. But he is not a simple person. I would be underestimating her if I said that she had entered my cage. You have to pay the price for underestimating others. "
The fairy looked at him suspiciously: "You mean, she lied to you?! How is that possible?! In the Sea of Death, she left all the clean water for you. In the Tianshan avalanche, she even risked her life to save you — if she can act like this, then this woman is really too scary. "
Ning Yuxi's words were all true. As a person involved in the situation, Lin Wanrong felt everything that Yueya did the most vividly. He shook his head deeply: "Whether she is acting or not, I can't tell now. The only thing I can be sure of is that Yujia's motive is not that simple. Big Sister, think about it. She and I, one is Chinese and the other is a Turkic. We are mortal enemies. Even if she covets me because I'm handsome and outstanding, I can't let her have her way with me. But since we're enemies, isn't her eagerness a little too much? "
What handsome, unrestrained, and outstanding! Ning Yuxi smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "You mean, as your enemies, even if she likes you, she should be very subtle, or even not let you know, right?"
Lin Wanrong nodded seriously: "In theory, a secret love should be like this! What's more, she had a crush on the enemy! Even if she's a brave and free Turkic woman, surely she can't ignore the feelings of her parents and people, right? "
The fairy slightly muttered to herself, then softly said, "Perhaps what you said is reasonable, but a woman whose body and mind have fallen into love cannot be judged by common sense, just like me — who hasn't gone crazy at times?!"
As she spoke, two red clouds appeared on her cheeks. She silently lowered her head. That shy look of hers was incomparably enchanting.
The fairy sister was becoming more and more feminine. Lin Wanrong watched in a daze as the beautiful fairy fell step by step into the mortal world. This kind of feeling was not something an ordinary person could understand.
He chuckled. She shook her head and said, "Yu Jia is Yu Jia, how can she be compared to fairy sister? In fact, my suspicions about Yu Jia don't stop there. "
"More than that?" The fairy looked at him in confusion. "Is there something else?!"
Lin Wanrong nodded, her expression suddenly becoming solemn: "In fact, I'm not sure. "In fact, from the first day I captured her, I began to suspect her! After burning Bayanhaote, before our army could retreat, we happened to meet her. The timing was too coincidental. However, the process of capturing her was too easy for someone with such a beautiful face. Think about it, how could such a beautiful woman easily mix into a caravan of a hundred people, and the defense was so lax? What's more, the Turkic Right King, Tusozo, was so in love with her, her identity is not simple. Why would she appear in the most dangerous area in front of the grasslands so carelessly? Tell me, how can I not suspect her?! "
The fairy was slightly stunned. Listening to the little thief's analysis, it did make sense.
"There's another very coincidental thing. On the day we arrived at Xingqing Prefecture, Brother Hu and I saw Yu Jia. And on that night, the three commanders of the army were assassinated at the same time, but Yu Jia disappeared without anyone knowing. When she reappeared, she was already outside Bayanhaote. Not only that, there's something even weirder — "Lin Wanrong paused. He paced a few steps with his back turned, his eyes flashing like a quick-witted cheetah.
Ning Yuxi looked at him lightly. At this moment, the little thief was no longer the joking and joking person he used to be. Instead, he was like a weather-beaten and wise elder. Every gaze of his contained the light of wisdom.
The person who could bully him in this world should not have been born yet! The fairy smiled and calmed down. She said, "If you want to say it, just say it. Why are you keeping me in suspense?"
"Is it strange? Sister should know about it too." Lin Wanrong smiled and held her smooth hand. "— Yu Jia is clearly in our hands. Lu Dongzan saw it with his own eyes. But the Turkic Right King, Tusozo, did not know about it. Don't you think it's strange?"
This was indeed strange. Lu Dongzan had mobilized a large number of troops to support the frontline, so he must have met with Tusozo. But he did not tell the Right King about Yu Jia's capture! There must be a mystery in this.
Ning Yuxi nodded. "Is it because the Turkic Left King and Right King had a deep conflict, and Yu Jia was captured at the frontline, that Lu Dongzan deliberately hid the news?!"
Lin Wanrong shook his head. "Don't underestimate Lu Dongzan. If this person is really so narrow-minded, then he can't be called the most intelligent person in the Turkic Khaganate. "
"Then why did he not tell Tusozo?!" The fairy asked.
"Yes, this is also what I am puzzled about." Lin Wanrong nodded and suddenly took out the golden knife. He shook it twice and smiled. "Sister, do you remember what Lu Dongzan did when we entered the Sea of Death from Yiwu?!"
Looking at the golden knife, Ning Yuxi recalled the past. She said in shock, "He gave this golden knife back to you! It has been sent back to you! "
"He did not give it to me." Lin Wanrong shook his head silently. "He wanted to borrow my hand to return this golden knife to Yu Jia. Because the golden knife can only be used to its greatest effect in Yu Jia's hands."
"What effect?" The fairy asked anxiously.
Lin Wanrong sighed softly. "The entire grassland knows that the golden knife is a token of love that Yu Jia gave to his sweetheart! Lu Dongzan is telling me that Yueya's golden knife has not been given to him. In other words, the most beautiful kapok in the grassland has not found her sweetheart! Hehe! "
At this point, the core meaning was faintly discernible. Ning Yuxi's face was full of surprise. "Little thief. You are saying that all this is a chess game that Lu Dongzan and Yu Jia deliberately set up? "
Lin Wanrong held her hand and said quietly, "From the moment Yueya fell into my hands, I had a strange intuition. It was as if I had fallen into a deep trap. After taking down Bayanhaote, how could Yu Jia appear in front of us so coincidentally? How could he be so easily captured by us? Never abandoning each other on the snowy mountain, staying together in the desert through life and death, the sudden young girl's yearning for love, and the ignorant Tusozo — there are many unexplainable things! Sigh, actually, I really hate playing chess. "
Looking at the desolate expression on the little thief's face, Ning Xianzi did not know what words to use to describe the surprise in her heart. The originally scattered points were strung together by the little thief bit by bit, forming such a conclusion. If it was really as he had guessed, then the person who planned this scam was not only well-intentioned, knowledgeable, and courageous, but also a person with an extremely high temperament. She must have put in a lot of effort to study the little thief's character and habits. She even knew his nature and shortcomings.
"But, why did she choose you as her target?!" Ning Xianzi muttered to herself.
Lin Wanrong smiled and shook his head. "Who knows? Maybe it's because I'm more handsome. "
Actually, there was no need for him to answer. Ning Yuxi already had a vague understanding in her heart. Today, Lin San was already the emperor's son-in-law of China. Annihilating the White Lotus, eradicating King Cheng, no one could compare to him in the officialdom. And his reputation among the people was almost at its peak. Tu Jue Imperial Advisor Lu Dongzan was also convinced by him. Seeing that the Emperor had no children, as long as Lin San was willing, he could even climb to the peak of power in China.
Choosing such a target to conquer was not only challenging, but more importantly, if he succeeded, it would be a devastating blow to the China Emperor, to the China people's morale. It could be said that to conquer China, one must conquer Lin San!
Ning Yuxi shook her head helplessly and sighed softly. "How can a good girl have such an unfathomable mind and strategy?"
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly. "Probably only Yu Jia can answer this question."
Ning Xianzi suddenly snorted. "You already realized that Yu Jia had other intentions. So the protection in the desert and the clothes in the snow mountain were just your tricks, right? When you lie to people, you have so many tricks up your sleeves that people don't even realize it. That Yu Jia is really pitiful. "
"Hey, Fairy Sister," Lin Wanrong almost jumped up. "Can you please have some sense of right and wrong? You have to know that the one being played is not Yue Ya, but me! "
Ning Xianzi was both angry and amused. "Your actions in the desert and snow mountain made her cry a few times. Was she also playing with you? I think you are acting to trick her. "
"I am definitely not tricking her!" Lin Wanrong waved his hand sternly. "With my reputation of being a righteous person, why would I do such despicable things? Actually, my principle is very simple. How Yu Jia treats me, I will treat her the same way. I will not take advantage of her, but I will not lose out either. "
No wonder. Yu Jia lied to you, and you lied to her. It was really fair. Ning Yuxi sighed. "In the past, I heard you tell Yu Jia that this is a dangerous game. I did not believe you, but now I understand. That Tu Jue woman is cunning, but you are even more cunning than her. "
"Cunning is actually just my appearance. That is for people like Yu Jia," Lin Wanrong held her little hand and said helplessly, "The sincerity that I hide under my outer clothes can only be felt by a sincere woman like you. This is the highest state of mutual love!"
The little thief did not even need to think before saying sweet words to coax people. Ning Xianzi blushed and shook her head lightly. "You always say nice words to coax me. Yu Jia has ulterior motives, but there is one thing that I don't think you understand — is she really just acting?!"
Lin Wanrong hurriedly blinked. "What, what do you mean?!"
"Playing dumb with me again?!" Ning Yuxi smiled and glanced at him. "No matter how cunning a woman is, her eyes and heartbeat cannot be faked. She risked her life to protect the water pouch in the desert. Even I could feel her determination at the moment of her death. If this is also acting, then I can only say that she has already immersed herself in the play. Even she could not tell which is real and which is fake. Life is like a play, and the play is like life. To her, there is no difference. "
As Ning Xianzi spoke, she sighed and seemed to have more sympathy for Yu Jia.
Lin Wanrong opened his mouth and smiled apologetically. "This, fairy sister, your analysis is too deep. I don't understand! Let's talk about something else! "
Ning Xianzi rolled her eyes at him and said helplessly, "If you want to play dumb, I can't do anything about it. But it is not your fault. Who asked that Tu Jue woman to lie first? Moreover, she is a barbarian. "
Lin Wanrong hurriedly nodded. No matter what the truth was, Yu Jia's motive for falling into his hands was not simple. There was no doubt about that. It was just that in the process of carrying out the mission, there might have been some unexpected changes that caught her off guard. As for how the situation would develop, perhaps only the heavens would know.
Sigh. Men who were too outstanding were always troublesome! Previously, there was Sister Changjin whom he had yet to deal with. Now, there was Yu Jia. Who did I offend?! He shook his head and sighed. His expression alternated between joy and worry. It was a strange sight.
Seeing that he was silent, Ning Xianzi suddenly smiled and said, "Little thief, the barbarians' palace is right in front of you. What are you going to do?!"
"I am thinking about it too." Lin Wanrong frowned. "The enemy outnumbers us. Moreover, it is a siege battle with Tusozo in charge. This is not a good battle!"
"It is difficult. But haven't you already thought of an idea? The Sheep-Catching Competition is right in front of us. This is a good opportunity! "Ning Yuxi said softly.
"Sister, you agree with my idea too?" Lin Wanrong was pleasantly surprised. He thought for a while and shook his head. "No. From what Tusozo said, the main event of the Sheep-Catching Competition should be Yu Jia. But Crescent Moon is in our hands now. He will not appear then. This Right Prince Tusozo will probably not participate. And whether that Turkic Khagan will show himself is even more of a problem. "
"Just because of this?!" Ning Yuxi smiled sweetly. "Then you can rest assured. I promise you, Yujia will definitely appear in front of the Right Prince!"
