"boom!"
A little beggar was thrown to the ground. He rubbed his sore buttocks, raised his head, and looked at the men on both sides with an angry look.
"Why are you arresting me? I'm just here to deliver a message to you. I don't know anything else."
Pei Huan looked at him condescendingly, ignored his words and asked, "Who asked you to deliver the letter?"
The little beggar tilted his head: "I don't know who it is, I just came here to deliver a letter for a little money."
Pei Huan raised his eyebrows, with a cold look in his eyes: "Do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know?"
The little beggar said without hesitation: "Of course I really don't know."
Pei Huan glanced at his fingers, waited for the little beggar to stand up, took a few steps in front of him, reached out and strangled his neck.
"I don't have much patience. You'd better think clearly before you speak. Who asked you to deliver the letter?"
The little beggar grabbed Pei Huan's hand, his face gradually turning red due to suffocation. He tried hard to struggle away, but in the end the strength in his hand became less and less.
Seeing the little beggar's breathing gradually weakening, Pei Huan let go of his hand.
With a "plop" sound, the little beggar fell to the ground, breathing heavily. It took him a while to recover, and looked at Pei Huan again, with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.
"I, I really don't know who that person is. He is wrapped in a black robe. I can only tell that he is a man, but I can't see his face clearly..."
Compared with the previous strong one, the little beggar now was very humble, and his tone was flattering.
Wrapped in a black robe, your face is not exposed?
Pei Huan narrowed his eyes. The person who sent the letter came prepared.
He thought, looked at the little beggar again, moved his fingers slightly a few times, and finally waved his hand to let the little beggar be taken away.
Just turning his eyes, Pei Huan looked at the letter sent by the little beggar, hesitated and then opened it.
The next moment, his expression suddenly changed: "How dare you do this... Come, follow me to the inn immediately!"
…
On the other side, Song Shuwan and her group were taking a temporary rest by the river.
Shan Hai found her and asked doubtfully: "Miss, why are you coming out in such a hurry? What did the letter from Prince Pei say?"
Song Shuwan took a sip of water and rubbed her face that was stung by the cold wind: "This war that has lasted for a year is about to end."
Shan Hai looked surprised: "So, the purpose of leaving is to see the final result?"
Song Shuwan shook her head: "It's not about seeing the final result, it's about solving a difficult problem."
Speaking of this, Song Shuwan looked towards the horizon with a distant look in her eyes: "Shanhai, if I give you a chance, let you..."
Shan Hai was listening attentively when he noticed that she suddenly became silent and immediately answered: "What are you asking me to do?"
Song Shuwan shook her head: "It's nothing. Go over there and ask if you have rested well. If you have rested well, then leave quickly."
Shan Hai hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions, bowed and left.
Less than half an hour later, the team was on the road again. However, before they had gone far, they were stopped by a group of people who suddenly appeared.
"Where is Song Shuwan?"
A rough voice sounded, and Song Shuwan took the initiative to show up: "I am, what do you want?"
The big man who spoke drove his horse forward and said in a cold voice: "Our master, please come."
Song Shuwan frowned: "Who is your master?"
"When you see them, you will naturally know. I advise you not to resist. The people I brought here are not good people. It will be bad if they see blood."
Before Song Shuwan could speak, Shan Hai's hand was on the hilt of the sword.
The next moment, Song Shuwan held the back of his hand and whispered: "Don't rush to take action, first find out who his master is."
Shan Hai tightened his fingers: "Miss, there is no need for you to take risks."
Song Shuwan smiled, but her eyes were cold: "This is not an adventure. After all... they are quite polite."
If they really came with malicious intent, they would have started fighting by now.
Half an hour later, Song Shuwan saw the owner the big man said.
"Your Majesty the Queen?"
The owner of the big man is actually the Tatar Queen who has not been seen for a long time.
Hu Na raised the corners of her lips slightly: "It's me. I heard that Miss Song is in a very embarrassed state recently."
Song Shuwan smiled: "It's just that things are changing, but I don't know where Her Majesty the Queen has been recently. How come there has been no news?"
Hu Na held her head with one hand: "I dealt with some troublesome things. No, I came here just after solving them. What did Prince Pei say? Are you still planning to maintain the situation here?"
"It shouldn't be long."
Song Shuwan and Hu Na were chatting, and the topic soon moved to another topic.
Hu Na asked: "Does Zhou need Tatar action?"
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows and told Hu Na: "The Tatars can take action if they want, but the stalemate in Anyuan City is no longer a matter of Dazhou."
Hu Na was curious: "If it's not Da Zhou, what else could it be?"
Song Shuwan looked in the direction of Anyuan City, and after a long time said in a serious tone: "They are the people, all the people of Anyuan City who lost their lives in this war."
After a brief pause, Song Shuwan looked at Hu Na again: "Let's not talk about it anymore. Her Majesty the Queen appears now just to get some benefits from the war between the two countries. Just now, Her Majesty the Queen asked if the Tatars would take action. I am curious. , What price will the Tatars need to pay before they take action?"
Hu Na chuckled lightly and leaned back in her chair: "I am easy to talk to. As long as what Da Zhou gives me is satisfactory, I can give in a lot on certain things."
Ambiguous.
Four words flashed in Song Shuwan's mind, but there was no change in the expression on her face.
She thought for a long time and chose to ask directly: "What can satisfy Her Majesty the Queen?"
Hu Na tilted her head: "You want me to take action, and you want me to take the initiative to tell you what you want. Isn't Miss Song a little too lazy?"
The smile on Song Shuwan's lips deepened: "Her Majesty the Queen does not have to take action, but...is Her Majesty the Queen willing?"
Hu Na may have the upper hand, but Song Shuwan is not completely at a disadvantage. As long as the interests are still on the surface, Hu Na cannot retreat directly.
After a moment of silence, Hu Na sighed: "Miss Song's confident appearance really makes me unhappy."
Song Shu smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Hu Na stood up and said, "That's it. Having said that, I won't hide anything anymore. The Tatars can send 100,000 soldiers and horses, but in exchange, Da Zhou must give one million taels of silver and enough food." , medicinal herbs.”
With that said, Hu Na took a few steps towards Song Shuwan: "I have laid out the conditions, but can Miss Song agree on behalf of Da Zhou?"
Song Shuwan said lightly: "Of course I can't, but the reason I came out this time is to look for Pei Huan. Her Majesty the Queen can talk to him face to face directly."
