"Since we mentioned before that we need to be sincere, we are the one who needs it, so we naturally have to show it first. How about it, Emperor of Daliang, do you think we can become partners?"
Fu Yuheng nodded: "It's an honor to meet you."
"That's good."
Fu Yuheng did not talk about business first, but instead called everyone together to have a meal of wild game as a welcoming banquet.
Qingwan was a little uncomfortable. This feeling of disharmony affected her normal mood no matter how she looked at it.
A fairly delicious meal of game made the people of Okon taste the flavors of delicacies from land and sea.
The truth was that they were all spoiled young men of the royal family, and they didn't have many opportunities to go out on their own to find food, so they were not well prepared. They hadn't bought many daily necessities, and they had been staying in the deep mountains and forests for several days, so they were no longer living like human beings.
Shen Qingwan felt very sympathetic towards them.
"It feels so good to have salt. I've been eating so much tasteless food these days that I don't know what my mouth tastes like."
"Is there no barbecue in Okon country? Or is there not much jungle in your country?"
This should be common sense, so how come these people knew they were going into the jungle but didn't prepare in advance
Qingwan didn't understand at all.
The Emperor of Aokon, Huo Langqi, smiled awkwardly. Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of the Emperor of Daliang, Fu Yuheng, he just laughed it off.
Fu Yuheng was very smart and he immediately guessed why they were in such a miserable state and couldn't help laughing.
"Well, let's first discuss how to deal with our common enemy!"
Huo Langqi asked seriously.
Fu Yuheng thought for a moment before saying, "The queen has been making frequent moves recently, all to find my whereabouts. Now I will continue to contact the army outside, and then make plans. As for the palace, Brother Huo can ask your men to pretend to be me, attract their attention, and buy me some time so that I can do my work."
Huo Langqi hesitated: "But none of my men are as skilled as you in martial arts. How can they pretend to be you? Wouldn't they be exposed as soon as they arrive?"
Fu Yuheng said: "It doesn't need to be very similar. You can just bribe the beggars to spread the news, then show your back at the planned location and get away with it. They don't think they have a master like Ye Feng who can chase them for five blocks without losing them."
Huo Langqi opened his mouth in shock: "Are all the people in your country so useless?"
Lianyun was unhappy, but she was just a maid and could not express her dissatisfaction, so she could only glare at the arrogant man secretly.
Qingwan, however, felt that this person was truly straightforward and cute.
I just don’t know what Fu Yuheng thinks of this man’s character.
Fu Yuheng smiled and said when Shen Qingwan had just finished thinking, "Otherwise, how do you think I can live safely until now? I have sent all those powerful people to the border. Some are generals, and some are deputy generals. In short, they will not be wasted in the palace to serve as guards for me."
Ye Feng's eyebrows twitched, but because of his status, which was the same as Lian Yun's, he didn't say anything.
Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I wonder how many people you will offend with this sentence.
Huo Langqi laughed even louder after hearing this.
"Fu Yuheng, you are really different from what the rumors say. My trip to Daliang this time was not in vain."
"Oh? How do people outside spread the word about me?"
Fu Yuheng suddenly became curious. He really wanted to know what those people thought of him.
But Huo Langqi remained mysterious and stopped talking. Qingwan smiled and begged him, "Sir, don't joke. Although our master is a steady person, he will get angry if you joke too much."
Huo Langqi said "oh" and then he calmed down a bit.
Fu Yuheng glanced at Shen Qingwan, his eyes and heart filled with tenderness and affection.
"Enough of the small talk. I plan to set off for the military camp tomorrow. We will split into three groups. Qingwan and I will be in one group. We will go to meet her eldest brother in the suburbs. General Shen and General Chang and Ye Feng will go to General Wu's camp far away. I think they have been waiting for a long time. I hope they don't run out of ammunition and food."
Qingwan couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw that he seemed to have just remembered this important event.
"Your Majesty, by the time you remember, the daylilies will be cold. I have already made arrangements. Anyway, the Queen will not know that there will be troops stationed near Daliang, so let them find a way to be self-reliant. The military pay I gave them some time ago is enough to get through this period of time."
Fu Yuheng smiled with relief.
It’s his Nuan Nuan who knows how to care for others.
"In that case, we will be responsible for diverting their attention. Be careful. If they find anything unusual in the army, your situation will be very dangerous. If anything happens, send a signal and the brothers nearby will come to help."
If Fu Yuheng died, this counter-surrender operation would fail again. Huo Langqi didn't want to lose such a great opportunity to clean up so quickly.
That night, Fu Yuheng and Shen Qingwan had a good sleep and set out on their journey early the next morning.
He said goodbye to General Shen temporarily. Before leaving, he held Shen Qingwan's hand and said a lot of things.
"Qing Wan, I know you've always resented father in your heart, but father can't give you much help now, but father's wish for you to be happy is the same as before. Don't be too hard on yourself, rely on men when you should, don't be stubborn."
Shen Qingwan nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, thinking that her father had underestimated Fu Yuheng's fighting ability. She was no match for him either in martial arts or intelligence, not to mention those who wanted to harm him.
"Father, you really don't need to worry so much. The emperor is a rare genius in thousands of years. I really can't catch up with him. If he can't solve a big problem, then I probably can't solve it either."
General Shen was finally relieved after hearing her not-so-good assurance.
When they set out, Lianyun was carrying an extremely large package, which made Shen Qingwan smack her lips and couldn't help asking, "Lianyun, what are you doing with these old things?"
Lian Yun said confidently, "It's full of the food that the young lady and the emperor like to eat, as well as some necessary toiletries and clothes. I have to take care of you and the emperor on the way. If you live like those people in Okong Country, you and the emperor will probably be annoyed to death by the many troubles on the road before you even reach the military camp. Now that I have no one else to help me, I naturally have to shoulder the important responsibility of taking care of people."
Shen Qingwan felt ashamed after hearing these words. She was the emperor's concubine, but she failed to give the emperor enough care and consideration. This was really wrong.
Lianyun knew that she seemed to have said something wrong, but she had no idea what she had said wrong and was puzzled.
Shen Qingwan tapped her forehead, her face full of helplessness.
Fu Yuheng actually enjoyed watching her bickering with the maid.
