C2372 Who Is the Assassin
Princess Qi was also very confused about the actions of the Fengjue Country emissary delegation. However, because she no longer had the right to make a decision, it was useless even if she wanted to object.2
"I heard that the living conditions of the Fengjue Country are very poor, and the place they usually live in is very simple. Perhaps those people from the Fengjue Country are already used to spending the night in the wild." Princess Qi guessed.
"Yes, it is possible." Xiao Huan said. Then, she said worriedly, "Princess, when you get there, you will have to suffer along with them."
"Haha, didn't we think of this before? After leaving the capital, we will have to say goodbye to our previous life." Princess Qi said with a faint smile, as if she no longer cared about the future.
The people of the Fengjue Country naturally did not like to be abused. When they were in the country, their living environment was indeed much worse than the Great Lu Dynasty's. But... They didn't have to spend the night in the wild every day. They also had their own residence. As for First Prince, as a Fengjue Country, Lu Yizha's living environment in the Fengjue Country wasn't too bad either. Therefore, the reason they chose to spend the night in the wild was obviously not what Princess Qi and Xiao Huan had guessed. It was just that they already liked to stay in the wild. They had their own plans.
"How is it? Have the sentries been deployed?" The middle-aged messenger of Fengjue Country and Lu Yizha sat opposite each other in a large tent. On the simple table in front of him, there was wine. They had bought this wine from the Great Lu Dynasty. It had to be said that... The natural resources of the Great Lu Dynasty were indeed much stronger than the Fengjue Country. This wine brewing technique was also much stronger compared to the Fengjue Country. Lu Yizha, who had good wine, naturally would not be willing to miss this opportunity. Therefore, when he left the Great Lu Dynasty and capital, he had bought wine and brought them along with him on his way. Furthermore, on the list of items that the Great Lu Dynasty would offer as tribute to the Fengjue Country every year... There were also various types of fine wine in the list.
"Everything has been arranged. Don't worry, sir. There won't be any problems." Lu Yizha raised the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp. "I have to say, the people of this Great Lu Dynasty are much better at enjoying themselves than us. Such fine wine was not easy to see in the country. Sir also drank a glass. Warm your body?"
The middle-aged messenger also raised the wine cup in front of him and took a sip. However, he did not drink it all like Lu Yizha did. He only drank a little bit and frowned slightly. Compared to the spicy wine, he preferred drinking tea.
"Don't be careless. We still don't know who did the attack at the city gate. Will the other side come again? " The middle-aged messenger said, "Besides, we need to be on guard against other people, you know that."
"Yes, I understand" Lu Yizha nodded.
In fact, the middle-aged messenger had told Lu Yizha a lot of things before they departed. This included the things he needed to pay attention to along the way, as well as the matters of camping in the wild. Lu Yizha was the one who commanded the soldiers in Fengjue Country. Furthermore... It was also First Prince, so he definitely had the right to know about this. Furthermore, he wasn't stupid. After listening to the middle-aged man's instructions, they all agreed with the other party's actions.
The reason why the middle-aged man and Lu Yizha did not rest in the city but chose to set up camp in the wilderness was not because of Princess Qi's guess. They liked to spend the night in the wilderness, but because they were prepared.
The people they had to guard against were the people who attacked them this morning. Although those people failed at that time, no one could guarantee it. They would never come again. In fact, looking at how crazy the other party was at that time... Obviously, they wouldn't be willing to give up so easily. The possibility of another attack was very high. Regardless of whether the other party's target was Princess Qi or the people from the Fengjue Country, because... They were now moving together.
In the eyes of the middle-aged man, camping in the wilderness was better than resting in the city. It was easier to guard against those people because there were too many eyes in the city. Moreover, they were not familiar with the terrain, so it was easy for them to be mixed in. However, it was different in the wilderness. The surroundings were very spacious. They could arrange some sentries to monitor the surroundings. They wouldn't let anyone sneak in easily.
In addition, the middle-aged man and Lu Yizha didn't believe in the Great Lu Dynasty officials in the city. In Lu Yizha's eyes, those people were just a bunch of useless people. They did not have any ability, but in the eyes of the middle-aged man, those people were after all the people of the Great Lu Dynasty, and they were the people of the Fengjue Country. Therefore, those people might not help them wholeheartedly. They might even turn a blind eye to those assassins. Therefore, it would be better to camp in the wild.
Besides guarding against the assassins in the morning, the middle-aged man and Lu Yizha also had to guard against the people from the Great Lu Dynasty.
They had just said that although they had stopped fighting with the Great Lu Dynasty, however, the two countries had been fighting for many years. The grudge between them was very deep. Even if they stopped fighting now, they wanted to completely accept the existence of the other party. It was impossible to get along harmoniously with the other party.
The high-ranking officials and nobles of the capital had to consider their interests. They would not make a move against them. However, when they arrived at the place... It was different. It was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be some hot-headed people. They would attack them. After all, both the middle-aged man and Lu Yizha knew about it. There were still many people who hated Fengjue Country people among the people of the Great Lu Dynasty. There would be one or two people who were not afraid of death who would attack them. It was not impossible, although the other party might not succeed. However, it would still bring them trouble, wouldn't it?
Therefore, living in the city was obviously not as comfortable and convenient as living in the wilderness.
Another thing was that they still had to guard against the imperial court's Great Lu Dynasty. The environment around the Fengjue Country was not very good. This point... Both the middle-aged man and Lu Yizha understood this in their hearts. As for the Great Lu Dynasty... They didn't know much about this situation.
However, no one could guarantee that the people of the Great Lu Dynasty would never know about this matter. What if they could also tell that the situation of the Fengjue Country wasn't very good? It was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't go back on their word and attack them. At that time... If they lived in the city, they would really be caught in a jar.
It was also because of these considerations that the middle-aged man and Lu Yizha had unanimously decided. They would not rest in the city, but rather choose to camp in the wilderness. In any case, the people of the Fengjue Country were already used to living in such harsh conditions. They wouldn't be unable to accept such a situation. In fact, in the wilderness, he was even more familiar with it than they were in the city. It was even more comfortable.
"Sir, who do you think those people will be in the morning? Are they targeting us, or the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty?" Lu Yizha couldn't help but ask. Although he wasn't afraid of those people, however, the behavior of those people still made him very angry. Plus, he didn't like being targeted. However, he still didn't know the other party's identity. That feeling was terrible.
"I think both possibilities are possible, and the biggest possibility is... Those people are a group of people from the Rebellion Force within the Great Lu Dynasty." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said. Regarding the situation within the Great Lu Dynasty, although they didn't know much about the situation inside the ___, they knew a little about it. They knew that the inside and outside of the Great Lu Dynasty weren't peaceful. This was also the time when they dared to negotiate. They demanded an exorbitant price.
And now, there were quite a number of people from the Rebellion Force within the borders of the Great Lu Dynasty. There were even a few groups of the Rebellion Force that were relatively stronger, just like how the people of the Fengjue Country wanted to deal with the surrounding threats. The people of the Great Lu Dynasty also needed time to deal with the people of the Rebellion Force within their territory. Therefore... Both sides were eager to stop the war to solve their own problems. And both sides knew that after their problems were solved, it would be time for the two sides to fight again.
"Rebellion Force? Then why did they attack us? Just attack their imperial army." Lu Yizha said with some confusion.
"About that, let's talk about the peace talks here." The middle-aged man said unhurriedly, "The peace talks have been reached now, and the content of the peace talks has been made known to the public by people with ulterior motives. The people of Great Lu Dynasty all knew the content of the peace talks. Regarding the result of the peace talks, we, the Fengjue Country, are naturally satisfied. However, the people of the Great Lu Dynasty obviously don't think so. They all thought that this would damage their image and was a very lowly act. Especially since they have to give us a large amount of wealth and resources every year. It was an act of humiliation to their country. All of the people in the Great Lu Dynasty... Because of the peace talks this time, the public is filled with resentment and resentment. As long as the Rebellion Force has a brain... That's why I said earlier: Our trip back this time won't be too peaceful. There will be a lot of people who will come looking for trouble. "
This middle-aged man wasn't like Lu Yizha, who only knew how to kill his enemies on the battlefield. He usually paid attention to gathering information. Hence... He knew a little about the situation within the Great Lu Dynasty. In addition, his brain was nimble, so he could analyze some things.
"Mister, are you saying that those Rebellion Force want to borrow our heads to help them establish their prestige?" Lu Yizha frowned.
"That's right!" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Now, in the Great Lu Dynasty, many civilians hate our Fengjue Country even more. As for us, the negotiators, they can't wait to kill us as soon as possible. The Rebellion Force wants to make use of this opportunity to express their anger towards our compromise. Killing us means that they aren't afraid of us. If that's the case... This way, they would be able to gain the support of the people, and with the support of the people, there would naturally be more people joining them. Their forces will also be further strengthened, and this is a trade. Naturally, they know how to make the most out of it. "
