After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 160 Meeting an old friend on a dark and windy night

That night, the grasslands south of the desert were filled with shimmering light and shadows.

While Chu Taian was leading his troops to attack the northern vanguard army, Qi Wushuang took Qi Wu and slipped into the vanguard camp.

As soon as I stepped in, I heard applause, and then a soft, slightly magnetic, and unforgettable voice rang out:

"I knew you were coming."

Qi Wushuang looked towards the shadows, and a handsome young man of about the same height as him walked out.

"Humukhan."

The person who came was Humuhan, the third prince of the north.

"How did you convince the eldest prince?"

"He got his hands on the correspondence between you and me, and I don't know why he thought you would submit to him because of those letters."

"How did those letters get into his hands?"

“I want to apologize to you for this.

The eldest prince bribed a female slave who had served me since she was a child, and the letters were stolen by the slave and given to him.

But these letters pose no threat to you."

Hearing Humuhan say this, Qi Wushuang thought for a moment and asked, "Did you know that the letter was written with a special potion?"

"Are you talking about the letter asking me to kill the Embroidered Uniform Guards?"

"Ah."

“I didn’t know it before, but when I looked at the letter again later, there was not a single word left in it, so I knew it.

But that's just your style. You wouldn't let me have such a big handle on you."

Qi Wushuang also didn't tell Humuhan that the letter could be restored with a special potion.

"The eldest prince sent you as a vanguard. What are your plans?"

"Tonight, more than half of the Tiemu tribe has been killed or wounded. I will lead the remaining tribesmen back to the main army camp."

"Have you arranged a place to hide them temporarily?"

"That won't bother you."

Humuhan's Central Plains dialect is a little stiff, but it is very authentic.

"Tell me the location of the eldest prince's tent."

"He's very defensive and sleeps in a different tent every night. If you want to know, you can only come to me first."

"I'll let Qi Wu find you then."

Humuhan glanced at Qi Wu behind Qi Wushuang and said, "Okay."

"I am leaving."

"I heard you have a new favorite, why didn't you bring him here?"

Qi Wushuang gave Humuhan a warning look and left.

Looking at Qi Wushuang's back, Humuhan's eyes were deep.

A man covered in a black cloak slowly walked out: "Do you think he can kill the eldest prince?"

"he can."

"If he knew that you had someone steal those letters and give them to the prince, and that you had someone reveal the method of using the potion to restore the body to its original state, what would he do?"

“I won’t let him know.

Even if he knew, he would still kill the eldest prince."

"Are you so sure?"

"He will not allow the eldest prince to become the King of the North, because there will never be peace between the two countries."

"If that's the case, why did you give those letters to the eldest prince? Aren't you worried that he would hate you after knowing it?"

"I'd rather he hated me."

……

When Qi Wushuang found Chu Taian, Chu Taian was about to withdraw his troops.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the Ati people? They don't fight us head-on. They just deal with us a few times and then flee."

"The vanguard troops are all the Third Prince's men. The First Prince is at odds with the Third Prince and wants to wear down his army. The Third Prince wants to conserve his strength and doesn't want to engage in a direct confrontation with us."

Chu Taian: What is going on?

"Take the troops back to camp."

It is indeed inappropriate to pursue them at night. Mo Nan is so big, who knows where they will escape to.

After returning to the military camp, Ye Wuwei was looking forward to it.

Seeing Qi Wushuang return unharmed, Ye Wuwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the tent, Ye Wuwei asked about the situation.

"Have you seen Humuhan?"

“I saw it.

He only thought that the letter would disappear only after using a special potion, and he didn't know that the letter could also be restored with a special potion."

"So he didn't take the lost letters too seriously?"

"Ah."

Ye Wuwei always felt that things were not that simple, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being.

"Then have you asked about the eldest prince's specific location in the military camp?"

Qi Wushuang told Humuhan what he had said.

“It seems that the eldest prince is really suspicious.

He also has more than a dozen bedrooms in the Grand Prince's Palace in the Northern Capital. No one knows where he will sleep that night except himself."

"There's one more thing I want to tell you."

Qi Wushuang told Humuhan that he pretended to be injured or killed in order to preserve his strength.

"Tai'an didn't even let go of the Tiemu tribe tonight before they retreated."

Ye Wuwei really didn't know what to say.

"It seems that the allied forces are indeed unreliable and they all have their own calculations."

“But I expect there will be a tough battle the day after tomorrow.

The eldest prince's mother's clan and the Northern King's tribe together have a total of 60,000 troops. These 60,000 people will definitely fight to the death."

After finishing the business, Ye Wuwei asked a question out of curiosity: "Where is Humu Khan going to hide the Temu tribe's troops?"

"He didn't say, but I guess the only place where someone could hide is the dense forest near Chunyu Mansion."

"Isn't it rumored that the Ghost Forest is dangerous?"

"You also know that dense forest?"

"I heard it from Ye Hongxia. To be more precise, that dense forest should be called a primeval forest."

Qi Wushuang naturally accepted the term "primeval forest".

"That primeval forest is indeed dangerous, but that's only if you go deep into the center of the forest. If you're only on the periphery, there's no danger."

"Have you been to that primeval forest?"

"There's no place in the south of the desert that I'm not familiar with, but I didn't go deep into the primeval forest because I felt it was very dangerous."

Also!

Qi Wushuang had fought against the northerners in Mo Nan for ten years. How could he not be familiar with Mo Nan?

"I heard that there are precious medicinal herbs like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in the uninhabited northwest of Monan, and that there are also deer and antelopes living there?"

"Yes, it's two hundred miles northwest of the military camp."

"I also heard that there's a desert in the heart of the desert, and it's all huge mountains made of yellow sand?"

"You didn't hear it from your biological mother again, did you?"

"That's what she said, but I think she's bragging."

"That area used to be a huge mountain of yellow sand, but it's much flatter now."

"why?"

"Because eleven years ago, there was a quicksand phenomenon there."

Ye Wuwei suddenly remembered what Ye Hongxia said.

"I heard from her that you predicted the arrival of the quicksand eleven years ago? What was your basis for this prediction?"

"Indeed. But it's not a judgment, it's a sense of danger."

Ye Wuwei's curiosity piqued: "You can also predict danger? This is an incredible skill."

"Maybe it has something to do with the many dangers I've experienced since I was a child. I don't know when I started to have a forewarning of impending danger."

Qi Wushuang told the story about the quicksand and water poisoning incidents.

"At that time, I felt a very strong emotion in my heart. This emotion kept oppressing me until I was out of danger. This oppressive feeling would not disappear."

"Then your special ability saved your life.

When I was trapped in quicksand that day, did you suddenly appear because you sensed danger?"

"That day was different. I suddenly had heart palpitations, and then I had a hunch that you were in danger, so I rushed over."

Ye Wuwei hugged Qi Wushuang and gave him a kiss: "Thank you, Wushuang."

Qi Wushuang took advantage of the situation and hugged Ye Wuwei tightly, "You're welcome, my wife."
