Dashui Village.
Song Shuwan waited for ten days before she saw Pei Huan turn around.
Their eyes met, and she took a few steps forward quickly: "How is Anyuan City doing now?"
"It has stabilized. Dazhou and Beidi are also discussing peace."
The expression on Song Shuwan's face suddenly stiffened: "The Emperor is still prepared to negotiate peace with Beidi?"
"The news has been released, no matter what the final result is, Da Zhou must make a statement."
Pei Huan put one hand behind his back and walked out of the village while talking to Song Shuwan. They both knew that today's meeting was to leave the village, so there was no need to mention it.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Song Shuwan thought of something and suddenly stopped: "By the way, Miss Zhen..."
Pei Huan looked back, and someone immediately bowed and walked away: "Someone has gone to inform you, don't worry."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and got on the carriage at the entrance of the village.
As soon as I sat down, the carriage shook and started to move.
Song Shuwan was startled, and then thought of Pei Huan's words just now, so she suppressed her thoughts.
The entire journey was silent.
Back in Anyuan City, as soon as Song Shuwan got off the carriage, she realized that the inn was in front of her, and she couldn't help but tilt her head: "Why did you send me to the inn?"
"The yard you and I lived in before was not safe. The inn is the most suitable place now, and it is also convenient for me to send people for protection."
Song Shuwan frowned. She didn't like this sentence, but Pei Huan obviously insisted on this plan, so she could only hold back what she said.
Half an hour later, Pei Huan left because of something.
Song Shuwan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar inn, and sighed after a long time. Just stay here. She still has to find a chance to bring Han Langzhong and Luo Yu back, hoping nothing will go wrong again.
On the other side, when Pei Huan left the inn, he was told that King Ning in the cell wanted to see him.
"Prince Ning said that there is something I need to tell the prince. If the prince doesn't go, he will regret it in the future."
Do you regret it?
Pei Huan sneered: "Okay, let me see, what is the thing he said that I will regret?"
…
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
In the cell, water dripped from the top and there was a sound. Several rats scurried quickly in the darkness. The smell of blood spread in the cell. Many people imprisoned in it were listless and their eyes were dull.
"Prince Ning is in the innermost room. According to your previous instructions, we sent four or five people to guard him, just in case someone comes to rescue him."
The prison boss walked forward as he spoke, the smile on his face full of flattery.
Pei Huan had no expression on his face. When he saw Queen Ning, he waved away the people around him: "The people below said that Prince Ning wants to see me."
Prince Ning turned his head slightly. Even though he was in a dirty cell, his aura was not weak at all.
After a brief silence, he stood up and walked to the railing: "Yes, I want to see you."
"Why?"
"Mu Ying'er."
When the name of the person came out, Pei Huan smiled: "Prince Ning, don't you want to say that I will let you go in exchange for Mu Ying'er's whereabouts?"
Prince Ning sneered: "Do I seem to be such an innocent person?"
"If not, then why would Prince Ning mention her?"
The two chatted casually, as if they really didn't care about each other's words.
After going back and forth for a while, King Ning finally revealed his inner plan first.
"Mu Ying'er holds the handle of the Tenth Prince. The Tenth Prince is eyeing the Great Zhou. Even though I don't like you, I still have to worry about you when it comes to the Great Zhou."
Having said this, Prince Ning paused for a moment, and his eyes became deep: "Pei Huan, as long as you can catch Mu Ying'er, you won't be able to bias this peace negotiation in favor of Dazhou."
The cell became silent again. Pei Huan looked at Prince Ning steadily. After a long time, he smiled and shook his head: "I have remembered what Prince Ning said, but the whereabouts of Mu Ying'er..."
"I can reveal it to you, but in exchange, you have to give me a promise."
Pei Huan thought about it, but still made a slight concession: "What promise do you want?"
"After the matter is completed, let me take Song Shuwan away. Don't refuse in a hurry. Pei Huan, you are not a fool. You know how much trouble will arise after the border is peaceful. Are you sure you want to keep her by your side?"
Pei Huan remained silent.
Prince Ning twitched his lips. He was not in a hurry and returned to his original position slowly. He believed that Pei Huan would not refuse his proposal.
At this moment, Pei Huan said: "The prince seems to be very sure, can you escape from here unscathed?"
In fact, Prince Ning wanted to take Song Shuwan away immediately, which can no longer be summed up by the word "determination".
"Isn't this a matter of course?"
Prince Ning raised his eyebrows, "Pei Huan, I am different from you. In my opinion, what you cannot do can be solved by just moving your mouth a little."
Pei Huan naturally knew the gap between the two, but when he heard Prince Ning's words, he still felt angry.
"I hope Prince Ning can always have this calmness. I can agree to the deal, but I also have to say hello to Wan'er. If she agrees, there won't be any problems on my side."
Prince Ning sneered: "Okay, I will give you time to ask. I also hope that Prince Pei can tell the truth truthfully without any concealment."
After saying these words, Prince Ning closed his eyes.
Pei Huan glanced at him and did not leave. Instead, he called the secret guard: "Go and tell Miss Song about the conversation just now and ask her what she thinks."
The secret guard retreated silently.
It didn't take long for Song Shuwan to learn about the conversation in the cell.
At that time, Zhen Yuan was also beside her. After listening to the process, he sneered and asked, "Does Miss Song believe it?"
Song Shuwan didn't look at her. After some thought, she told the secret guard who was passing the message: "There is no problem on my side. You can just let the Crown Prince watch and deal with it."
After the secret guard retreated, Zhen Yuan stood up and looked at Song Shuwan as if she were a fool: "Miss Song, do you really believe it?"
Song Shuwan said calmly: "Believe is believe, there is nothing true or false, but it is Miss Zhen, why is there such a big reaction?"
"Do you think my reaction is big?"
"Isn't it true? Miss Zhen, I know you have opinions about Pei Huan, but we are here for Da Zhou. No matter how many opinions we have, we have to give in before business. What do you think, Miss Zhen?"
Zhen Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said hypocritically: "Ms. Song is right. I just got distracted. Don't mind."
Song Shuwan sighed secretly, Zhen Yuan said it nicely, but in fact...
She shook her head, not entangled in the matter, and instead mentioned going to the cell to take a look.
"No problem, I'll go with Miss Song."
Half an hour later, Song Shuwan and Zhen Yuan appeared in front of Pei Huan.
"Why are you two here?"
Pei Huan was surprised. His eyes fell on Song Shuwan, with a hint of inquiry.
Song Shuwan said nothing and only glanced at Zhen Yuan. Pei Huan suddenly understood and led the two of them outside.
"Tomorrow, I will release Prince Ning. Wan'er, thank you very much this time."
Song Shuwan shook her head gently: "It's just a matter of duty, but I don't understand why Prince Ning insists on taking me away?"
