The person Ning Cheng was thinking of was none other than Myriad Merchant Hall's Fifth Elder!
Unlike the other elders, Fifth Elder was absolutely loyal and obedient to Western Qin's imperial clan. Ning Cheng couldn't guarantee what the letter would do once it reached Fifth Elder's hands, but he believed it would be better in his hands than in anyone else's.
At the very least, Fifth Elder wouldn't be too rash and impulsive. That way, they could buy some more time.
As long as Bai Yuqiao's banknotes reached Myriad Merchant Hall's Council of Elders, everything would be easy to handle.
Under Jun Yi Xie's watchful gaze, Ning Cheng quickly picked up his brush.
Every word of the letter was difficult to write.
Under Jun Yi Xie's scrutiny, he couldn't reveal the truth of his imprisonment here, nor could he order the Di Clan to remain loyal to Western Qin and fully cooperate with Han Yunxi. At the same time, he had to create a false impression for Jun Yi Xie to see so that Jun Yi Xie would believe he wanted to pit the Di Clan against Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye.
The three main powers of the Di Clan — Myriad Merchant Hall, Cloud Realm Trade Consortium, and the military — were all under his control. He knew the Council of Elders and his deputy generals very well.
Leaving aside the fact that Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had killed Bai Yanqing first, then cleared up the misunderstanding between Eastern and Western Qin, it wasn't entirely convincing. Even if Bai Yanqing claimed in front of the world that the Wind and Black Clans were the ones who instigated the civil war in the Great Qin Empire, none of the Di Clan elders would believe him. They wouldn't want to.
They were just as stubborn when it came to vengeance as he was. In truth, if he had not heard Jun Yi Xie tell him the truth, he would not have believed Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye's suspicions about the civil war in Great Qin.
Moreover, these old men were all senior members of the Di Clan. Their loyalty to the Di Clan was far greater than their loyalty to the Western Qin Royal Family. They more or less had their own selfish motives. They hoped that the Di Clan could become a great contributor to the restoration of the Western Qin Empire. They hoped that the Di Clan could become the most powerful force in the Western Qin Empire. They even hoped that the Di Clan could marry into the Royal Family in order to preserve their status and power.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye have reconciled in public. The Di Clan's Elders Association must be worried that the Di Clan will be reduced to Long Fei Ye's subordinates. In any case, they must rebel.
Under such circumstances, if Myriad Merchant Hall hadn't received his banknotes, they wouldn't know the truth. Then, once Jun Yi Xie's 30,000 warhorses fell into their hands, they would definitely throw caution to the wind and start a war without caring about the consequences.
Ning Cheng held the brush. After thinking for a while, he wrote a line of words, "Receive 30,000 warhorses from the Milky Way. Wait for orders. Prepare 500 million soldiers' pay at Prosperous Heaven Bank, Northern Li branch."
Wait for orders. This was the leeway Ning Cheng left for himself and the Di Clan. It was also his greatest effort for Han Yunxi's sake.
The matter of the soldiers' pay was to put Jun Yi Xie's mind at ease. Even if 500 million soldiers' pay was sent to Prosperous Heaven Bank's Northern Li branch, no one would be able to claim it without his appearance.
"500 million?" Jun Yi Xie asked with a raised brow. They had agreed on 1 billion!
"Once the warhorses arrive, pay 500 million upfront. It's enough for you. Our cooperation won't be short. Why are you in such a hurry? "Ning Cheng asked in return.
Indeed, 500 million was enough for Jun Yi Xie to turn things around. It wasn't easy to see Ning Cheng use the soldiers' pay, so he didn't ask for more.
Ning Cheng put the letter into an envelope. The recipient was Ning Cheng, and he decisively wrote Fifth Elder.
Jun Yi Xie took the letter away, leaving behind a sentence, "I'll wait for your soldiers' pay!"
Seeing Jun Yi Xie walk away, Ning Cheng wiped his face a few times with both hands to wake himself up.
"Reconcile?" He chuckled and muttered to himself, "Han Yunxi, whether you and I are friends or foes will depend on heaven's will."
If his banknotes reached the Di Clan before the warhorses, he could be considered to have truly joined forces with Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi.
If the warhorses reached the Di Clan before the banknotes, once the Di Clan rebelled, he would never be able to clear his name.
Ning Cheng stood at the door for a while. Bai Yuqiao hurriedly ran over.
"Ning Cheng, quickly follow me to the prison cell! Hurry! "Bai Yuqiao was burning with anxiety.
Ning Cheng lazily glanced at her and turned to enter the room. Bai Yuqiao grabbed him, "Someone's about to die!"
Ning Cheng's eyes turned cold. He was about to push him away when Bai Yuqiao said, "Su Xiaoyu's about to die! You should go and persuade her. Who knows, you might be able to persuade her! "
Su Xiaoyu?
Ning Cheng was shocked, but he still pushed Bai Yuqiao's hand away.
Ning Cheng was still on guard, wondering if this was a trap. Jun Yi Xie and Bai Yuqiao teamed up to test him.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yuqiao said, "Ning Cheng, Su Xiaoyu is Han Yunxi's most beloved maidservant. If you want to save her life, Han Yunxi will definitely be grateful to you! Han Yunxi will have a good impression of you! You should quickly go and persuade her. She won't even drink her medicine. "
With Bai Yuqiao's reason, Ning Cheng naturally strode over. Bai Yuqiao immediately followed and briefly explained the situation to Ning Cheng.
In summary, Su Xiaoyu was sick. She hadn't taken her medicine, and now her life was in danger.
When they reached the prison cell door, Bai Yuqiao stopped and said, "I won't go in. You go in yourself. You can lie to her or coax her, but she will at least believe you! "
Ning Cheng walked into the prison cell. When he saw Su Xiaoyu, he couldn't help but gasp.
Su Xiaoyu was no longer hanging on the torture rack, but placed on the stone bed. Her clothes were torn and her hair was disheveled. Her originally thin body was now completely skin and bones.
Her eyes were tightly shut, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists. Even though she was terminally ill, her entire body was still tense. It wasn't clear whether she was nervous or on guard.
Her palm-sized face was so pale that it didn't have a trace of blood, but her expression was still stubborn and unyielding.
Even someone as heartless as Ning Cheng felt his heart ache when he saw her. He thought that if that woman, Han Yunxi, saw this child like this, her heart would definitely ache.
Ning Cheng suddenly realized that in the huge Sky River Horse Farm, there were so many people, but only this little girl was on the same side as him.
Was it because she didn't want to reveal anything and didn't want to become a hostage, so she wanted to die?
If there came a day when he couldn't do his best and could only be manipulated by Jun Yi Xie, would Su Xiaoyu's current situation be his tomorrow?
After Ning Cheng confirmed that there was no one around, he bent down. He had never been so gentle in his life.
He carefully lifted the hair covering Su Xiaoyu's face and whispered, "Little girl, accompany me for a while. If we die, big brother will die with you. "
Su Xiaoyu didn't move, but Ning Cheng clearly noticed that her long eyelashes were trembling.
He lowered his voice, "My name is Ning Cheng, the leader of the Di Clan."
When he said this, Su Xiaoyu immediately opened her eyes. Although she was kidnapped all the way to Sky River City, she didn't have the chance to meet Ning Cheng.
But she knew that Ning Cheng was kidnapped like her. Previously in the Black Tower, she also heard the Shadow Guard talk about Ning Cheng.
This guy was a loyal follower of the Western Qin Royal Family, but also an enemy of Long Fei Ye.
"Little … Don't call yourself big brother, I, I don't … don't know you!" Even if she was so weak that she only had one breath left, Su Xiaoyu's mouth was still so stubborn and sharp.
Ning Cheng smiled, "At least you're willing to talk to me."
Su Xiaoyu quickly noticed Ning Cheng's Phoenix Feather Mask. She only felt that the pattern was very familiar, but she couldn't tell where she had seen it.
"This is … This is Phoenix Feather?" Even speaking was very laborious.
She had seen Phoenix Feather a long time ago. When Chu Tianyin asked her to infiltrate Han Yunxi's side to see if Han Yunxi had a Phoenix Feather Birthmark, he had given her the pattern.
Of course, Su Xiaoyu didn't remember these things, but she knew that the Western Qin Princess had a Phoenix Feather Birthmark on her back.
"Yes." Ning Cheng admitted.
"Your eyes … What happened?" Su Xiaoyu asked.
"I saw something I shouldn't have, so I went blind." Ning Cheng actually laughed.
Su Xiaoyu was confused, but she didn't have the strength to pursue the matter. She asked, "They … They sent you?"
Ning Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This girl was really mature and smart. Compared to those adult servant girls, she was several times better.
"Yes, they sent me to persuade you to take the medicine." Ning Cheng admitted again.
Su Xiaoyu laughed. In fact, she didn't have the strength to laugh, but her expression was smiling. She asked, "You, you … Based on what?"
Ning Cheng didn't shy away from answering loudly, "Based on the fact that I like your Mistress!"
He suddenly leaned over to Su Xiaoyu's ear and whispered, "Live for another month. If I can't save you, I'll die with you!"
After Ning Cheng finished speaking, he immediately retreated and stood up.
Su Xiaoyu only then realized how tall and imposing this man was. She looked at him and actually nodded without anyone noticing.
One month, no harm.
After Ning Cheng came out, Bai Yuqiao hurriedly asked, "How was it?"
"I coaxed her that I would save her and curry favor with Han Yunxi. She believed me." Ning Cheng said indifferently. When he was about to leave, he stopped and said, "Remember to give her to me when you're done with the interrogation. Han Yunxi will definitely like such a gift. "It had to be said that Ning Cheng's acting was very good.
Bai Yuqiao didn't think too much about it. He instructed the soldiers to boil the medicine and personally brought the nurse in to perform the acupuncture.
Su Xiaoyu's eyes were wide open and she didn't move.
Bai Yuqiao didn't say much to her and just stood at the side and watched. After the nurse took her pulse, she asked Su Xiaoyu to take off her clothes and lay on the stone bed.
Su Xiaoyu was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand. She didn't move at all. There weren't many maidservants in the army, especially in this place. Bai Yuqiao could only do it himself.
She nimbly took off her clothes and flipped her body over. However, she was stunned when she flipped her body over.
The nurse began to perform acupuncture on Su Xiaoyu's back. Su Xiaoyu had already closed her eyes. With just a slight movement, she felt that all her strength had been sucked away. She really wanted to sleep.
The nurse quickly realized that something was wrong and cried out in alarm, "Not good!"
The nurse hurriedly turned Su Xiaoyu over and desperately pinched her philtrum point. "Child, you can't sleep! You can't sleep! Child, wake up! "
Bai Yuqiao regained her senses and suddenly panicked. "What's wrong with her?"
"If she continues to sleep, she will never wake up! Is the medicine ready? If not, bring some sweet soup over first. Hurry! "The nurse was extremely anxious. She repeatedly pinched Su Xiaoyu's philtrum a few times and checked her eyelids.
This kind of emergency treatment wasn't actually the first time, but this time, Bai Yuqiao's entire face was pale. She stood in the same place, not knowing what to do. Her bean-sized eyes kept rolling down.
What's wrong with her?
