Han Yunxi finally returned to the carriage.
It was at this time that she realized she wasn't strong at all, she wasn't decisive at all.
She returned to her familiar position and leaned on Long Fei Ye's shoulder. She suddenly wanted to be willful and go back with Long Fei Ye like this.
What East Qin, Western Qin, what national enmity, what family hatred, what responsibility, what conscience, all of that should scram.
The carriage quickly headed north. Long Fei Ye sat there without saying a word.
Han Yunxi hoped he would say something. She secretly glanced at him and saw that he was expressionless.
She gritted her teeth and swallowed the words she wanted to say back into her stomach. She leaned on his shoulder and held his arm, interlocking her fingers with his.
After being silent for a while, Han Yunxi finally couldn't take it anymore.
She deliberately held his arm very tightly, wanting Long Fei Ye to speak. However, he didn't seem to feel any pain and remained indifferent.
She clearly knew she couldn't stay, but she couldn't help wanting to stay.
She clearly knew it was useless to say anything, but she really wanted him to say something. Even if it was just to coax her, it would be fine!
She had never been this dependent and unwilling to part with him.
Uncomfortable!
Long Fei Ye, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid!
It was only a short journey from this mountain to the border between the two armies. Long Fei Ye, could it be he was planning to remain silent until they separated?
Although she wouldn't tell Ning Cheng that they had already discussed the cooperation and that they still had many opportunities to continue negotiating, how could it be that easy to get rid of the people on both sides?
Han Yunxi was depressed.
She looked up at Long Fei Ye, but Long Fei Ye was still expressionless. He looked forward and didn't even look at her.
She used her strength and tightly held his fingers. She was so tight that she hurt, but Long Fei Ye didn't feel any pain or itch.
Han Yunxi was about to cry. Ai, this fellow was even more ruthless than her. If she couldn't do it, she shouldn't have any thoughts. When she couldn't be willful, she shouldn't let her emotions run wild.
How could everything go according to one's wishes all the time?
Han Yunxi comforted herself and gradually let go of Long Fei Ye's hand. Long Fei Ye did not hold her hand again, nor did he look at her.
After a short while, the carriage stopped.
Before they got out of the car, they heard Ning Cheng's voice.
"Long Fei Ye, is the princess of Western Qin in your hands?"
"Long Fei Ye, hand him over. Otherwise, I won't hold back!"
…
With Ning Cheng's voice, he was probably going crazy. Han Yunxi felt helpless. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Long Fei Ye suddenly stopped her. "If you don't want to leave, then stay here."
Uh …
Han Yunxi looked at him in shock.
Long Fei Ye didn't explain anything. He pushed her back and then got off the carriage, leaving Han Yunxi sitting in the carriage, her heart beating faster.
What did he mean?
As soon as Long Fei Ye got out of the carriage, Ning Cheng grew even more agitated.
"Long Fei Ye, the princess fell into the abyss. You chased her down before I did, so she must be in your hands. Hand her over immediately, or else …"
Before Ning Cheng could finish, Long Fei Ye cut him off Otherwise what? Do you think your Ning Clan troops can contend against your lordship with your current strength? Don't blame your lordship for not reminding you, but there are ten great clans in Tianning who are very dissatisfied with your Ning Clan and Cloud Realm Trade Consortium. "
Ning Cheng narrowed his eyes at these words. "So the princess really is in your hands! What do you want? "
Ning Cheng had long been on guard against Long Fei Ye's warning.
Although Long Fei Ye had been the one to propose a truce, Ning Cheng was still at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
If the Ning Clan troops didn't have the red coat cannons, Long Fei Ye's troops would probably be marching all the way to the capital by now. The Ning Clan had the red coat cannons, but Long Fei Ye had the power of the jianghu.
Ning Cheng had suffered losses at the hands of the jianghu before. They wouldn't directly participate in the war, but would bring him all sorts of inconveniences, troubles, and obstacles.
Now that Long Fei Ye was in control of Celestial Mountain, he was in control of the jianghu as well. As soon as Long Fei Ye used the power of the jianghu, the consequences would be even more severe than Duanmu Yao's.
In other words, Ning Cheng wanted a truce even more than Long Fei Ye.
"This crown prince can agree to a truce and work with you against the Wind Clan, but Han Yunxi must remain in my camp as a hostage!"
As soon as Long Fei Ye finished speaking, Han Yunxi's heart skipped a beat.
She finally understood why Long Fei Ye had been so indifferent earlier. It turned out that he had been silently planning this.
Hostage?
Only he could think of such a thing, and only he dared to bring it up.
He was clearly the one who had taken the initiative to negotiate a truce, all right?
"Impossible!" Ning Cheng's voice was terrifyingly cold. "Long Fei Ye, hand over the princess immediately, or we'll meet on the battlefield!"
"Someone come, inform Baili Yuanlong to prepare for battle!" After speaking, he got into the carriage and casually ordered, "Uncle Gao, let's go back."
He was already sitting next to her, but Han Yunxi was still in a daze.
If last night's tenderness was like a beautiful dream, then at this moment, she felt that everything in front of her was like a dream, an inconceivable dream.
She looked at Long Fei Ye's domineering figure, cold side profile, and indifferent eyes. She was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
Women, ah. Sometimes they were just this stupid. They didn't care whether things would succeed or not, whether it was realistic or not. All they needed was a man's attitude.
Thus, women would often judge a man based on his attitude, rather than his true strength or ability to act.
Even someone as intelligent and calm as Han Yunxi was more or less like this.
How could they really start a war? If they really started a war, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
Long Fei Ye's attitude was enough.
However, Long Fei Ye wasn't a man good at expressing his attitude. He was more of a man of action.
At this moment, he wasn't expressing his attitude, he was taking action.
Uncle Gao really started the carriage to leave. Han Yunxi was shocked.
"Long Fei Ye, you dare!" Ning Cheng couldn't believe it. He was about to give chase when the Shadow Guards flew over to block his path.
Very quickly, Ning Cheng and the Shadow Guards began to fight.
As soon as Ning Cheng took out the Pear Blossom Rain Needles, Xu Donglin's eyes flashed with a complicated look. He motioned for everyone to retreat. Ning Cheng took the chance to chase up to the carriage and aimed the Pear Blossom Rain Needles at the carriage.
"Long Fei Ye, hand over the princess!" Ning Cheng roared.
Long Fei Ye didn't even get out of the carriage. Instead, he remained Cold and replied, "Two months. In two months, this crown prince will flatten Tianning and destroy your Ning Clan army …"
Ning Cheng cut him off coldly. "What awaits you will be Jun Yi Xie's 100,000 cavalry!"
If Long Fei Ye really destroyed the Ning Clan army, wouldn't the Northern Dynasties Emperors be on guard against him? In two months, Jun Yi Xie's 100,000 cavalry would all arrive.
Long Fei Ye laughed coldly. "Ning Cheng, you're a smart man. Do you think the Northern Dynasties Emperors will choose to trust Jun Yi Xie's sincerity, or this prince's truce agreement? "
These words stunned Ning Cheng as if he'd been hit in the head.
That's right!
Long Fei Ye still had a choice. He could lead his troops north to conquer Tianning while signing a truce agreement with the Northern Dynasties Emperors. This way, the Northern Dynasties Emperors wouldn't have to worry about the rear and could truly suppress Jun Yi Xie.
In other words, Long Fei Ye could stop fighting with the Ning Clan troops and work together to deal with Jun Yi Xie. He could also work with Northern Li to deal with both the Ning Clan troops and Jun Yi Xie.
His Ning Clan troops, on the other hand, would be in a passive position. They would be completely suppressed by Long Fei Ye!
"Long Fei Ye, don't forget. If you can work with Northern Li, so can my Western Qin! "Ning Cheng retorted Coldly.
Long Fei Ye laughed coldly. "Ning Cheng, why don't you take a gamble?"
It wasn't that Ning Cheng didn't dare to gamble, but he knew he'd lose without a doubt.
Han Yunxi had long told him that Long Fei Ye had many spies in Northern Li. The Long Fei Ye was the one behind the horse plague in Northern Li.
He, on the other hand, had no advantage in Northern Li.
Long Fei Ye had many choices. As for him, other than taking the risk and cooperating with the Feng Clan, he could only be controlled by Long Fei Ye.
Ning Cheng finally hesitated. "Long Fei Ye, I can't make this decision. I want to see the Princess."
In fact, this was their real negotiation.
In public, Long Fei Ye should let Han Yunxi, the Western Qin Princess, come forward.
But in private, he wanted to kill Ning Cheng. How could he let Han Yunxi show her face in public?
It wasn't like Long Fei Ye hadn't used public power to avenge private wrongs.
"This is your Di Clan's choice, not Han Yunxi's!" Long Fei Ye said. "Ning Cheng, you can give up the Western Qin Princess. If you rely on the Feng Clan, you can also show your sincerity and cooperate with this Crown Prince. "
Ning Cheng was a smart person. He didn't need Long Fei Ye to explain. He understood the meaning of Long Fei Ye's words.
He still had another option, which was to cooperate with the Wind Clan. However, cooperating with the Wind Clan meant betraying the West Qin Imperial Family along with the Wind Clan. In that case, it didn't matter to him who had the Princess.
If he chose to cooperate with Long Fei Ye and agreed to take the Princess as a hostage, it would be the sincerity that Long Fei Ye wanted. Or it could be said that he wanted to restrain him.
Ning Cheng would never choose the former, but he was even more unwilling to choose the latter.
Coldly, he looked at the carriage, his right hand tightly holding the Pearflower Storm Needles. He wanted to kill Long Fei Ye right now. However, he didn't have the courage to use the Pearflower Storm Needles because he knew that Han Yunxi was in the carriage.
In the end, Ning Cheng knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "Princess, you have made your choice. Please tell this subordinate, what should this subordinate do? "
Han Yunxi didn't have time to feel the surprise that Long Fei Ye gave her. Her heart was blocked.
Although Long Fei Ye stopped her, she still got out of the carriage.
Although Ning Cheng didn't know what was going on between her and Long Fei Ye, since he said so, she couldn't stay silent anymore.
She at least had to give Ning Cheng an explanation, a reason to be relieved.
Han Yunxi got out of the carriage, and Long Fei Ye followed closely behind.
When Ning Cheng saw Han Yunxi, his dim eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Han Yunxi from head to toe, "Your Highness, are you well?"
"I'm fine. Long Fei Ye saved me. I've already made a deal with him. I'll be a hostage. Eastern, Western Qin will spare no effort to deal with the Feng Clan and Northern Li together!" Han Yunxi said seriously.
"Princess, how can you believe Long Fei Ye's words?" As Ning Cheng spoke, he knelt down on the other knee and kowtowed with the head that he had been proud of for more than twenty years, "Your Highness, please reconsider!"
Seeing Ning Cheng like this, how could Han Yunxi not feel guilty? Guilty?
Regardless of right or wrong, right or wrong, regardless of the future, right now, her actions were trampling on Ning Cheng's loyalty.
Ning Jing's words rang in her ears again, "Han Yunxi, even if it's you, you can't trample on the Di Clan's loyalty and honor."
Han Yunxi didn't say anything for a long time. Long Fei Ye glanced at her and casually threw something to Ning Cheng, "Take it. This is this crown prince's sincerity!"
