Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly, "Prince Yelu doesn't need to worry. In Glass City, if I don't agree, even a mosquito won't be able to fly out. But … once Yelu Ye returns to the Northern Tribes, I won't be able to do anything. " Yelu Hong looked at Mo Xiuyao and said calmly, "Doesn't Prince Ding just want to see us brothers fight?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled, "Prince Yelu, what you mean is that if I didn't exist, you brothers would get along well? All these years, I haven't done anything to the Northern Tribes. "
Yelu Hong was silent. It wasn't just these years. In fact, ever since he was made the Crown Prince, he had never stopped fighting with Yelu Ye. Don't think that the tribes outside the Great Wall didn't fight and scheme against each other. In fact, their fights were even more vicious and bloody than those hidden in the dark. Yelu Ye was a very ambitious person, but Yelu Hong wasn't a soft egg that could be bullied by anyone. Since he was already the Crown Prince, he couldn't back down. Therefore, the conflict between the two brothers wasn't something that anyone could change. Although he understood that Mo Xiuyao was right, it didn't change the fact that he had been tricked by Mo Xiuyao.
Mo Xiuyao smiled, "Prince Yelu, you don't need to worry too much. At least you and I have the same goal, don't we? You don't want to be defeated by Yelu Ye, I want to drive the Northern Tribes out of the Central Plains and … take a few people's lives. "Yelu Hong said unhappily," I am the Crown Prince of the Northern Tribes. "Did driving the Northern Tribes out of the Central Plains sound good to him? Although Yelu Ye had taken the land, Yelu Hong was indeed jealous. But it was still the land that the Northern Tribes had taken. The Central Plains was rich, who wouldn't want it if they could?
Mo Xiuyao said lightly, "The Central Plains is different from the Northern Tribes. Does Prince Yelu really think that the Northern Tribes can do anything in the Central Plains? "
Yelu Hong raised his eyebrows, unconvinced, "Prince Ding, how do you know that it can't be done?"
"At least not now," Mo Xiuyao retorted bluntly. "The Central Plains isn't that weak. Even without the Da Chu State, there was still the Prince Ding Mansion. Even without the Prince Ding Mansion, there was still the West-Hill. The Northern Tribes want to take over the Central Plains, but I'm afraid they are not strong enough. "Even though this was the truth, it was also a warning. Although Yelu Hong was unwilling, he knew that what Mo Xiuyao said was the truth. Throughout history, the Northern Tribes had attempted to invade the Central Plains countless times. However, none of them succeeded even once. Even though the dynasties in the Central Plains had declined to the extreme, the ones who eventually destroyed them were still the Central Plains people themselves. Perhaps the people of the Central Plains were very fond of internal strife, which was why they had been replaced generation after generation. But at the same time, they were also very determined to resist the invasion of foreign races. When necessary, they could even put aside their previous grudges and join forces to fight against foreign enemies. This was also the reason why many foreign races had failed to invade them in the end.
Yelu Hong sighed and said, "Perhaps Prince Ding is right." He wasn't sitting here to discuss with Mo Xiuyao whether the Northern Tribes should invade the Central Plains. Before he could sit on the throne of the Northern Tribes, he didn't have the right to discuss this issue.
Mo Xiuyao didn't want to dwell on this matter. He looked at Yelu Hong and smiled. "Prince Yelu, don't worry. I also have no interest in the Northern Tribes. So … there isn't any conflict of interest between us, is there? After Yelu Ye is finished, and Prince Yelu becomes the King of the Northern Tribes, I will take back what originally belonged to the Central Plains people. Besides … there is almost no need for Prince Yelu to do anything. In fact, Prince Yelu is the one who reaps the benefits. "
"Then, what are Prince Ding's plans?" Yelu Hong had to admit that he was indeed moved by Mo Xiuyao's words. As the Prince of the Northern Tribes, he definitely wouldn't have any thoughts of betraying the country by colluding with the Prince Ding Mansion. But his position as the Prince wasn't that comfortable. Although his mother was the Queen of the Northern Tribes, his father favored Yelu Ye's mother more. More importantly, Yelu Ye had more military power behind him than he did. And in the Northern Tribes, without enough military power, you were nothing. In the past year, his father had been very fond of the woman Yelu Ye brought back. Although he often mocked Yelu Ye, the pressure on him had increased. If not for the fact that he had no other choice, he definitely wouldn't accept the olive branch from the Prince Ding Mansion. He wouldn't betray the Northern Tribes, but he had to protect his position and life.
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and looked at Ye Li beside him. Just now, Ye Li had been writing on the paper. Now, she put down the pen and handed the letter full of words to Yelu Hong. Yelu Hong took the letter and was stunned. The handwriting on the letter was at least ninety percent similar to the previous one, but the content was completely different. Yelu Ye's letter was naturally about Yelu Hong colluding with Prince Ding to betray the country. But the name of the main character in this letter was changed to Yelu Ye himself. The other party wasn't the Prince Ding Mansion, but the North's Ren Qining. Previously, when Ren Qining and Yelu Ye signed the treaty at the Purple Thorns Pass, it was Yelu Ye who acted first and reported later. It wasn't impossible to make a fuss about this matter. Thinking of this, Yelu Hong looked at Ye Li with admiration, "Thank you, Princess."
Ye Li smiled faintly, "Crown Prince doesn't need to be so polite. Although my handwriting is slightly different from Noble Consort Liu's, it shouldn't be a big problem. "
If it was in the Da Chu State, there might be some problems. The Da Chu State's court didn't lack famous calligraphers. But in the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, it was already very good to be able to completely translate a letter, let alone distinguish the handwriting. Even if someone compared Noble Consort Liu's handwriting, they probably wouldn't be able to see the small difference.
"But even if the King can cover it up for now, when Yelu Ye and Noble Consort Liu return to the Northern Tribes, it will still be exposed." Princess Ronghua frowned and said worriedly.
Mo Xiuyao said, "You don't need to worry too much about this. In a short time … … Yelu Ye probably won't be able to return to the Royal House of the Northern Tribes. As long as Crown Prince Yelu doesn't let him write a letter to the King of the Northern Tribes, it's fine. As for Noble Consort Liu … … she doesn't need to go back. " With the King of the Northern Tribes' love for Noble Consort Liu, if she really returned to the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, it wouldn't be a good thing. Moreover, from the beginning, Mo Xiuyao didn't plan to let those two people leave the Da Chu State. "But there's one more thing that I need the Crown Prince's help with."
So many things were planned by Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. Yelu Hong naturally knew that he couldn't just do nothing. He nodded and said, "Prince Ding, just say it."
Mo Xiuyao said lightly, "Send Helian Zhen to the Central Plains to assist Yelu Ye."
"This … …" Yelu Hong was a little hesitant. Although Helian Zhen gradually fell out of favor because of the defeat, he was still Yelu Ye's uncle. In these years, there were signs of him gradually recovering. Not to mention, many of the generals in the Northern Tribes army used to be Helian Zhen's subordinates. If he really led the army, he was afraid that he would be nurturing a tiger.
"Don't worry, Helian Zhen I will help you take care of it."
Yelu Hong just remembered that Mo Xiuyao and Helian Zhen had a deep hatred for each other. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "In that case, I will go back and report to Father to allow Helian Zhen to lead the army."
"Thank you."
