The fact that the King of the Northern Tribes had sent an envoy to the Da Chu State naturally could not be hidden from the Prince Ding Mansion. In the Mohist army camp, Ye Li looked at the report in her hand and frowned. "The King of the Northern Tribes sent an envoy at this time … does he not trust Yelu Ye anymore?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled. "It's not that he doesn't trust him. But … Yelu Ye has lost many battles these days. The territory that the Northern Tribes have now is less than half of the territory that the Northern Tribes used to have in the Da Chu State. The King of the Northern Tribes is naturally not satisfied with him. But … the choice of envoy is a little interesting. I'm afraid that Yelu Ye does not trust the King of the Northern Tribes anymore. "
Ye Li looked at it seriously and muttered. "This … envoy is Yelu Hong's man?"
Mo Xiuyao nodded, looking very satisfied. "Yelu Hong didn't disappoint this king's expectations after all. To be able to do this … to be able to hold the position of Crown Prince of the Northern Tribes for so many years, he is indeed not an ordinary person. "
"Yelu Hong wants Yelu Ye to suspect that the King of the Northern Tribes does not trust him and make him betray him today? Is he not afraid that Yelu Ye will return to the Northern Tribes and cause trouble for him? "Ye Li raised her eyebrows. Mo Xiuyao smiled. "Because he is very sure that Yelu Ye will not be able to return to the Northern Tribes. Even if he is lucky enough to return … he will definitely not have the strength to fight with him. "
Ye Li nodded and thought for a while before shaking her head. "Yelu Hong wants to control Yelu Ye's military power, I'm afraid it will not be so easy. Instead … the envoy may lose his life. "Although she did not know Yelu Ye well, Ye Li still had some understanding of his personality. He may very well suspect that the King of the Northern Tribes does not trust him and thus betray him, or even do something that he should not do. But it would not be so easy for Yelu Hong to get his hands on military power. Unless Yelu Hong personally came, the people he sent would probably all die at the hands of Yelu Ye.
"Should we secretly help them?"
Ye Li asked.
Mo Xiuyao shook his head, "No need, Yelu Ye can do whatever he wants. If he can't kill Yelu Hong's men, we can help him." Ye Li understood Mo Xiuyao's meaning. They were temporarily cooperating with Yelu Hong, but they weren't friends. Naturally, they didn't need to help him all the time. Furthermore, Yelu Hong wanted to take control of the army and withdraw the Northern Tribes soldiers out of the pass, while Mo Xiuyao wanted all the Northern Tribes soldiers to die in the pass. Obviously, the two sides had different standpoints. Since Yelu Hong wanted to snatch it, they would just let the two brothers kill each other and reap the benefits.
Ye Li nodded and said with a faint smile, "Prince, what a good plan."
Mo Xiuyao smiled proudly at Ye Li and said, "Wife also thinks that your husband is very smart, right?" Ye Li smiled but didn't say anything. In her heart, she was sweating profusely. Mo Xiuyao's schemes were not just smart. There were many smart people in this world, but they always lacked something. For example, Xu Hongyu lacked ambition. Another example was Young Master Qing Chen, who lacked ruthlessness. Mo Xiuyao lacked none of these. Most importantly, he could wrap all these up in a harmless appearance. Otherwise, Mo Jingqi would not have tolerated him for so many years. Intelligence, decisiveness, patience, ambition, ruthlessness, Mo Xiuyao did not lack any of these. That was why he could single-handedly turn the Prince Ding Mansion from its crumbling state to its current state. That was why he could start planning so many years ago, making the current situation under the heavens under his control.
"Li, is I not smart?" Mo Xiuyao rubbed against Ye Li's body unwillingly. Ye Li said helplessly, "Who in this world dares to say that Prince Ding is not smart?" Those who thought that their intelligence was higher than Prince Ding's were either fools or truly smart people. The former was already dead, while the latter knew what could be said and what could not.
Mo Xiuyao nodded in satisfaction and planted a kiss on Ye Li's face. "So, to be able to become I's beloved wife, Li Li is also the smartest woman." Ye Li rolled her eyes helplessly and slapped his handsome face away. "Prince, are you planning to boast in front of me? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? "
"If anyone dares to laugh at I's Li Li, I will kill them." Mo Xiuyao said in a low voice.
In the end, she couldn't bear to slap his handsome face with his white hair. Ye Li reached out and pinched his face instead. In these few years, Prince Ding had become more and more shameless. It was a world of difference from the cultured and refined noble prince who had a slightly alienated aura when they first met. Ye Li suspected that there was something wrong with her eyes at the time.
"As expected, Li Li likes I's face, huh? You can't bear to part with it, right? No problem, if Li Li likes it, then Li Li can pinch me. " Ye Li couldn't really pinch Mo Xiuyao, so Mo Xiuyao was happy to enjoy it. He simply laid down on Ye Li's lap and smiled with his eyes closed.
After hearing what he said, Ye Li couldn't continue pinching him. She could only withdraw her hand. "Prince, I find that you are becoming more and more …"
"Prince, I …" Feng Zhiyao rushed in and froze at the door. Looking at the two people inside, Feng Zhiyao deeply felt that he had forgotten to look at the almanac before leaving. Coughing lightly, Feng Zhiyao said seriously, "You can continue. I will take my leave."
Mo Xiuyao sat up and looked unhappily at Feng Zhiyao. "What's the matter?"
Feng Zhiyao waved the thing in his hand. "It's not a big matter. The new envoy from the Northern Tribes camp seems to be dying."
"So fast?" Ye Li asked curiously. Although she had expected that the envoy wouldn't live for long, but it had only been two days. Wasn't it a little too fast? Feng Zhiyao said, "This … I heard that he's not acclimatized to the climate." It wasn't that there weren't any cases of acclimatization, but it was rare for it to be serious to the point of death. And it was usually from the extreme north to the extreme south, or from a dry and cold place to a hot and humid place. Although the north of Da Chu State was slightly different from the north of the Northern Tribes, it wasn't that obvious in this season. It was just not as cold as the winter of the Northern Tribes. Who would believe that this servant would die from acclimatization? But, it wasn't important whether they believed it or not, as long as there was a reason.
Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment and said, "Send a letter to Yelu Hong's people. As to whether they can make it in time to save him, it doesn't matter to the Prince Ding Mansion." Feng Zhiyao understood and nodded with a smile. "I will send the letter in a moment, no … tomorrow." It would take at least two or three days for the letter to reach Yelu Hong's people. By the time Yelu Hong's people arrived, it would be just enough time for the envoy to take care of.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Feng Zhiyao very consciously rubbed his nose and said, "I will take my leave."
Mo Xiuyao snorted softly and left him with disdain. Feng Zhiyao shrugged his shoulders and turned around to leave. Standing at the entrance of the large tent, Feng Zhiyao silently looked at the sky. 'Shouldn't it be Wang Fei who is blushing and shy when he sees that?' Why was wang fei's expression normal, but the Prince's face was red?
Seeing Feng Zhiyao leave with a strange expression, Ye Li tilted her head to look at Mo Xiuyao's handsome face that was slightly red from being pinched. She couldn't help but laugh. Mo Xiuyao touched his own face and understood why she was laughing. He sighed helplessly and said, "Li … since Feng Zhiyao saw it …"
