Han Yunxi thought that Baili Yuanlong had come with a purpose, but she never expected him to have this kind of attitude.
This old general really didn't see her as a "hostage", but rather as a "prisoner"! If she didn't answer his question today, what would he do?
Putting aside their positions and statuses, Han Yunxi didn't like people who didn't understand things.
When two countries were at war, they didn't kill envoys. When two countries were cooperating, they didn't make things difficult for hostages. This was a rule that everyone knew. Moreover, this wasn't just a rule, but a general's demeanor and bearing!
Although Eastern and Western Qin weren't cooperating, they had at least agreed to stop fighting.
Baili Yuanlong was Long Fei Ye's number one general. Could hatred really twist him like this?
Even if Long Fei Ye wasn't sitting here, Han Yunxi could still straighten her back, not to mention that Long Fei Ye was sitting here.
Today, she wouldn't back down half a step!
"This princess wants to see what kind of wine East Qin dares to punish this princess with!" Han Yunxi coldly said.
"You!" Baili Yuanlong didn't know what to do for a moment. He was just threatening and didn't really want to make a move.
As for Han Yunxi, the Western Qin princess, he had argued with the crown prince all night. In the end, he had no choice but to recognize her as a hostage and put her under house arrest in a tent a li away from the main camp instead of locking her in a prison cell.
Of course he understood the rules.
He also had poise, but he didn't want to show it in front of his enemy.
Han Yunxi was so unyielding that Baili Yuanlong couldn't back down. He gloomily looked at Long Fei Ye, but Long Fei Ye didn't even look at him. He was already brewing tea.
Han Yunxi peeked at Long Feiye out of the corner of her eye and almost laughed out loud at how relaxed he looked.
At this time, Xu Donglin, who was eavesdropping at the door, sympathized with Baili Yuanlong. Baili Yuanlong was doomed. He couldn't even deal with a Western Qin princess, let alone one with His Highness' secret help.
In the end, Baili Yuanlong shamelessly ignored Han Yunxi's stubbornness and asked Coldly, "Han Yunxi, does Ning Cheng have any news about the Black Clan? And the Li Clan? "
Han Yunxi was inwardly alarmed. Baili Yuanlong's question meant that Long Fei Ye also didn't have any news about these two nobles.
Long Fei Ye's identity as the East Qin Crown Prince and her identity as the Western Qin princess had already been announced. Moreover, the two sides were already at war, but the Black Clan and Li Clan still hadn't made an appearance. What was the meaning of this?
She'd heard Long Fei Ye say before that the other six Noble Clans had some strength besides the Shadow Clan, but they'd all hidden their identities to mingle in various parts of Cloud Realm Continent.
In the past, the Black Clan had pledged loyalty to the East Qin imperial clan and was the main culprit behind the destruction of Western Qin's imperial clan. After the Western Qin imperial clan was destroyed, the Black Clan took control of the military and switched sides.
Meanwhile, the Li Clan had always been a neutral party.
In the final battle, the Di Clan led the charge against the Black and Wind Clans to destroy the East Qin Empire. If the Li Clan had made a move then, they would have changed the overall situation, because their military strength was no less than the other powers.
The Wind Clan was an expert in the art of war, using Qimen Dunjia to set up formations. The Li Clan, on the other hand, specialized in the true art of war. The Li Clan was a descendant of the ancient School of Military Strategy. They had all sorts of books on the art of war and had many disciples. In the past, Eastern and Western Qin's armies had plenty of Li Clan disciples.
Aside from having military power, the Li Clan had extraordinary influence in the military as well. Thus, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Li Clan could change the overall situation. But it was precisely this kind of power that gave up on the war and disbanded their armies at the most critical moment.
So where were the Li Clan's descendants now? Were they living in seclusion, or were they hiding in one of the armies?
Baili Yuanlong had originally wanted to ask about the Li and Black Clans. She had to admit that the whereabouts of these two clans were very important. Their appearance was very likely to affect the current situation.
No wonder Baili Yuanlong had come to question her so ungracefully.
"I don't know!" Han Yunxi replied bluntly.
But Baili Yuanlong was at a loss. "Are you the one who doesn't know, or is it Ning Cheng who doesn't know?"
"I don't know if Ning Cheng knows," Han Yunxi replied.
"You!" Baili Yuanlong suppressed his anger and said coldly, "How could you not know? Han Yunxi, who are you trying to fool?! "
This woman was the princess of Western Qin and Ning Cheng's servant. She must know everything about Ning Cheng.
"If I don't know, then I don't know. I'm tired. General Baili, please return!" Han Yunxi was too lazy to argue after giving the order to leave.
This attitude made Baili Yuanlong suspicious. He looked at Long Fei Ye again and saw that Long Fei Ye was still drinking tea. A trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes as he angrily said, "Han Yunxi, this general will give you one last chance. Are you going to speak or not?! Don't blame this general for not reminding you. My East Qin Army's prison is a water prison! "
The soldiers were already standing beside Han Yunxi, ready to move at any moment.
Han Yunxi immediately rushed in front of Long Fei Ye, snatched the teacup from his mouth, and threw it to the ground.
With a "peng" sound, the crowd suddenly quieted down.
Baili Yuanlong was also stunned. After following His Highness for so many years, no one had ever dared to throw away His Highness' teacup.
Han Yunxi, this ….. was simply seeking death!
While he was shocked, Baili Yuanlong was taking joy in her misfortune. It was good that Han Yunxi was so daring. If His Highness was angered, perhaps His Highness would agree to his suggestion and throw Han Yunxi into the water prison.
Long Fei Ye glanced at the fragments on the ground. He didn't look at Han Yunxi as he Coldly said, "Western Qin princess, what is the meaning of this?"
Han Yunxi didn't say anything. She picked up the remaining teacups and fiercely smashed them to the ground one by one. "Peng! Peng! Peng! " The sounds echoed through the tent. Finally, Han Yunxi picked up the teapot and fiercely smashed it at Baili Yuanlong. Fortunately, Baili Yuanlong took a step back and the teapot landed right at his feet, almost hitting him.
Long Fei Ye was a bit surprised. Han Yunxi was only three steps away from him. She Coldly looked at him and angrily said, "What is the meaning of this? Is this the meaning of this? A bunch of men like you came to bully a woman like me. Aren't you embarrassed? What is the meaning of this? Speak! "
Was Han Yunxi throwing a tantrum?
Long Fei Ye hated women throwing tantrums and acting like tigresses the most. However, when he saw Han Yunxi like this, he actually had the urge to laugh.
Of course, he endured it and remained expressionless.
Han Yunxi seemed to be angry at Long Fei Ye, but all of her anger was directed at Baili Yuanlong. Baili Yuanlong was rendered speechless by her questions and was at a loss for what to do. Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi lifted the round tea tray on the table and threw it at him.
Baili Yuanlong was caught off guard and dodged in a sorry state!
"You're bullying this princess, right? This princess will say it one last time. No matter what you ask, this princess won't say anything! It doesn't matter if you treat this princess as a hostage or a prisoner, it's up to you. You'd better lock this princess up in the water dungeon right now. Otherwise, this princess won't let you off! "Han Yunxi said angrily.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. What did she mean?
Did she want to continue making a scene?
Sure enough, Han Yunxi turned around and started throwing things. She threw whatever she could get her hands on. The commotion grew louder and louder until everyone outside heard it.
If Han Yunxi continued making a scene, she would definitely alarm the entire military camp.
Baili Yuanlong finally realized that he couldn't control the situation. He cast a pleading look at Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye was enjoying Han Yunxi's tantrum. When he saw Baili Yuanlong look over, he coldly glared at him but didn't say anything.
Baili Yuanlong became even more anxious. Beside him, Deputy General Xie hurriedly whispered, "General, His Highness went through so much trouble to bring Han Yunxi over as a hostage. If you mess this up, it'll ruin everything!"
"General, begging His Highness is useless. His Highness already said that he couldn't get anything out of her, but you didn't listen and insisted on coming. Look at this … "Deputy General Wang was also anxious.
In the end, Deputy General Zhao stood up. "Western Qin princess, please calm down, calm down! Our general has no intention of forcing you, but he's worried that the Feng Clan, Black Clan, and Li Clan will join hands. If that happens, both your Western Qin and my East Qin will be in danger. That's why he wants to ask the princess. "
The deputy general was giving Baili Yuanlong a way out. No matter how unwilling Baili Yuanlong was, he had to go along with it.
"Han Yunxi, that's exactly what this general means! This matter is very important, so you should think it over carefully, "said Baili Yuanlong.
Han Yunxi sneered. Had these people never seen a woman throw a tantrum before? Could a woman be reasonable when she threw a tantrum?
Of course not!
"I don't care! Baili Yuanlong, this princess has had enough of being a hostage! "Han Yunxi said loudly.
Outside the door, Xu Donglin couldn't help but spit out, "Great aunt, you've only been here for a day and you've already fallen asleep!"
Who knew that Han Yunxi would continue, "You can either send this princess back to Ning Cheng today or lock this princess up in the water dungeon. Don't blame this princess for not reminding you, but once this princess touches water, you'd better check if it's poisoned before you drink it!"
Baili Yuanlong was dumbfounded, and the deputy generals had no choice. They were here to intimidate the hostage, but who knew things would turn out like this?
They all cast inquiring gazes at Long Fei Ye.
Finally, Long Fei Ye opened his golden mouth. "Han Yunxi, have you had enough?"
Han Yunxi was startled. Why did these words sound so familiar? She quickly recovered and said coldly, "Long Fei Ye, I'll ask you one last time. Am I a hostage or a prisoner?"
"Hostage," Long Fei Ye replied with certainty. Hostages could be treated well, but prisoners could only be abused.
"Is there anyone who puts a hostage under house arrest like this? Do you want this princess to suffocate to death in this tent? "Han Yunxi questioned.
"Then what do you want?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"I want to enter and leave freely!"
As soon as Han Yunxi finished speaking, Baili Yuanlong said sternly, "Absurd, impossible!"
As soon as Baili Yuanlong finished speaking, Han Yunxi picked up the brush holder on the desk and threw it at him. Baili Yuanlong dodged and was about to reprimand her, but Long Fei Ye glared at him, and he could only shut up.
"You can walk within one li of this tent, but Xu Donglin must follow you. If your identity is exposed after one li, you'll have to bear the consequences! "Long Fei Ye warned coldly.
Han Yunxi seized the opportunity to cause a ruckus. First, she wanted to warn Baili Yuanlong that she wasn't someone to be trifled with. Second, she wanted to fight for some space for herself.
She pretended to think for a while before snorting coldly. "Fine, I'll give you some face."
A trace of craftiness flitted through her eyes, and she deliberately said, "After all, back then, you and I …"
