Later, Xiang Nan went to see Aunt Mingyuan and told her the good news.
"Okay, I'll be relieved if Xiaofeng marries Toyochao." Mingyuan nodded and said, "I will arrange for you to meet Xiaofeng. You are young, handsome, and capable of both civil and military skills. If you can win Xiaofeng's heart , it will be very helpful for you to ascend to the position of prince in the future."
"Thank you Auntie." Xiang Nan nodded, "Auntie, after taking my medicine, your condition has become milder?"
Mingyuan nodded.
After she contracted tuberculosis, she often coughed and was out of breath. But after taking Xiang Nan's medicine, the cough became much less severe. It's really effective.
"Cheng Yin, I didn't expect you to have good medical skills." She praised with a smile.
"A long-term illness makes you a good doctor. I have been weak and sick since I was a child, so I like to read medical books. I have been learning it secretly, and I didn't dare to tell others." Xiang Nan explained, "Now I can cure my aunt's illness. I am really happy."
If Mingyuan did not die, no matter how arrogant and domineering Gao Xian was, he would not be able to do anything to drive the concubine of Xizhou to death or drive the king of Xizhou crazy. That way, the evil he did to Qu Xiaofeng would be a little less severe.
When Mingyuan heard this, he nodded.
…
After Xiang Nan returned to the post house, he ordered his followers to send a message back to Feng Dynasty to inform him that the king of Xizhou had agreed to a marriage.
The mission was accompanied by carrier pigeons, and within a day, Toyotomo had received the news.
Emperor Li Fu immediately sent his important minister An Guogong to Xizhou to welcome the bride, carrying a heavy betrothal gift.
Xiang Nan was waiting for Mingyuan to arrange a meeting between him and Qu Xiaofeng. During this period, he met Chai Mu and told him that he had taken on the task of finding King Tiedal's tent.
Chai Mu was equally shocked when he heard this.
"Fifth prince, the Danchi people live a nomadic life and live in no fixed place. King Tiedal's tent often changes locations, and they are all in remote and dangerous locations. No one has ever been able to find them." He explained, "The second prince gave it to This task of yours is clearly meant to make things difficult for you."
Xiang Nan nodded, "Mr. Chai, I know. But in order to pacify Danchi and to protect the border security of Fengchao, I have to take this risk."
Chai Mu sighed, he also knew that Danchi had repeatedly violated the borders of Toyochao, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, which had already become a serious problem for Toyochao.
The eradication of Danchi will not only help maintain border stability, but also help deter the countries in the western border. It is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
Moreover, finding King Tiedal's tent was also a great achievement. The fifth prince is now eager to ascend to the throne, and to ascend to the throne, he must perform meritorious deeds. This is a good opportunity to make a contribution.
"I will try my best to help the fifth prince." Chai Mu nodded.
…
Immediately, Chai Mu called Gu Jian and asked him to help find King Tiedal's tent.
"Jian'er, this time Cheng Yin goes to find King Tiedal's tent, you must protect her." Chai Mu instructed, "If we can successfully find the king's tent, it will be a miracle and make him leave the position of crown prince. It’s one step closer.”
"Gu Jian will definitely do his best." Gu Jian nodded.
"But the strength of you and me alone may not be enough. I'm afraid there is someone who can help." Chai Mu said quietly.
"Who?" Gu Jian asked curiously.
"The granddaughter of King Tiedal, the ninth princess of Xizhou." Chai Mu explained.
Gu Jian suddenly frowned and said in a low voice, "Xiao Feng?!"
"If Xiaofeng can join hands with the fifth prince, it will be a great help to him." Chai Mu nodded.
Because Qu Xiaofeng’s mother, Princess Xizhou, was the daughter of King Tiedal.
Therefore, she can take people to King Tiedal's tent, and Tiedal will never doubt it.
"No way, foster father!" Gu Jian stood up excitedly, "If King Tiedal's tent is found, the Central Plains will definitely attack Danchi. What will Xiaofeng do here?! I can't use Xiaofeng, I can't ah!"
"Gu Jian!" Seeing that he actually objected, Chai Mu couldn't help but slap the table hard, "Have you forgotten what I told you? Okay, then I'll tell you again.
Each of us has our own destiny. You bear a blood feud. You are the only bloodline of the Gu family. You must avenge the Gu and Chen families.
No matter how painful, tiring or heavy this burden is, you must bear it. For this, you must let go of your emotions. Are you really willing to live up to the souls of the Gu family who died unjustly for a woman? ! "
When Gu Jian heard what he said, the scene of the Gu family being massacred by Gao Ming flashed through his mind. So much blood, so much screams, so much resentment...
If Chai Mu hadn't arrived in time and rescued him, he would certainly have died that night.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to waver.
"You are Xiaofeng's master, and you have her most trust. You first introduce her to the fifth prince, gain her trust, and then find a way to escort her to King Tiedal's tent." Chai Mu said upon seeing this.
Even though Gu Jian was extremely reluctant, he had to nod his head and agreed because of the hundreds of resentful souls of the Gu and Chen families.
…
After Chai Mu persuaded Gu Jian, he took Gu Jian to Xiang Nan and told him everything about his plan.
After hearing this, Xiang Nan firmly objected.
"Mr. Chai, I don't accept this plan." He solemnly refused.
"Why?" Chai Mu asked puzzledly.
Using Qu Xiaofeng to find King Tiedal's tent is the most convenient, most effective and safest way.
If Xiang Nan were to look for it on his own, he wouldn't even know what year and month he would find it.
"First, the Ninth Princess is my cousin's disciple and I trust him the most. I don't want him to betray those who trust him; secondly, the Ninth Princess is likely to be my wife in the future, and I don't want to use my wife to do such a thing;
Third, although soldiers are cunning, they can use all possible means. But I don't want to be heartless. Xiang Nan explained, "I hope Mr. Chai will forgive my willfulness and don't force me." "
Seeing what he said, Chai Mu was stunned, and then sighed, "The fifth prince is benevolent and righteous, and he will become a wise king in the future. Well, in that case, let's find a way."
Gu Jian was both grateful and relieved.
To be honest, he really didn't want to betray Qu Xiaofeng.
After all, he really loved her.
…
Later, Chai Mu left Gu Jian behind.
"Since the fifth prince is unwilling to use this method, Jian'er, everything depends on you." He said to Gu Jian.
Gu Jian was stunned for a moment.
He originally thought that the plan had been cancelled, but Chai Mu unexpectedly mentioned it again.
"Father?!" Gu Jian felt a headache for a moment.
"Gu Jian, you don't want a woman's kindness." Seeing his hesitation, Chai Mu immediately slammed the table excitedly, "If you don't abandon your personal emotions, how can you avenge the Gu family."
When Gu Jian heard this, he could only nod.
"Concubine Xizhou has always opposed the marriage with Toyochao, and wants to send the ninth princess to Danchi. You can go with her and mark the way secretly. When the time comes, I will send someone to follow. In this way, the map will be drawn Okay." Chai Mu ordered.
Gu Jian had no choice but to agree.
