As soon as Xu Xin stepped out of the tent, she heard Alana say in a panicked voice, "The Black Cloud Army!"
The Black Cloud Army...
She happened to have heard of this fearsome army, which belonged to the Prince of Ning.
So, if the Black Cloud Army was here, then the Prince of Ning should also be here, right?
Xu Xin bit her lip secretly, her eyes flashing with malice.
When she was still in Chuanzhou City, the three Hu Yan siblings left her alone and headed for Qingzhou City. At that time, she still had some resentment in her heart. But later, when Hu Yan Longhao came back in a hurry and she didn't see the violent eldest prince and the arrogant third princess in the crowd, besides being happy, she felt mostly relieved. She was glad that the three of them thought she was a burden and left her in Chuanzhou.
But isn't it the one who lives to the end who wins?
Then the Prince of Ning attacked. Hu Yan Longhao went to fight and never came back. It wasn't until the Black Cloud Army entered the city that she found out that Hu Yan Longhao had fallen off the city wall and died, and the Prince of Ning had even led his troops to retake Chuanzhou City!
Sure enough, he was the Prince of Ning! As heroic and invincible as ever.
Taking advantage of the chaos, she lied to the soldiers who entered the city with the identity of an innocent person captured by the Xiliang people and managed to escape. Then, because she got lost, she met this chief of the Aqitu Tribe, Alana...
After that, Xu Xin, who no longer cared about this body, naturally attached herself to this man who could be her father.
As long as it was helpful to her, she could care about nothing!
She originally thought that the days would be peaceful for a while. She could follow Aqitu to unify the tribes on the grassland and then put her revenge plan on the agenda.
Who would have thought...
The Prince of Ning had come here again!!!
Thinking of this, Xu Xin wiped the hatred from her eyes and in an instant, with a pitiful look on her face, she said to Alana, "Chief, why on earth did the Prince of Ning come to our grassland?"
With just this simple sentence, Xu Xin subtly expressed her stance.
Alana, whose face had been a bit pale, then realized that there was a woman beside him. Then, to save face, he puffed out his chest and said, "Humph! I heard that the Princess of Ning was captured by some tribe and brought to the grassland. The Prince of Ning is here to settle accounts with that tribe!"
"Chu Qing!" She's here too?
Xu Xin clenched her hands tightly, and her face darkened.
It was actually that bitch Chu Qing!
The Prince of Ning had come for her!!!
The relationship between these two was really... good!
So good that she was so jealous and hateful that she was almost going crazy!
"What are you talking about?" A woman in a smart outfit walked over. She gave Xu Xin, who was cowering behind Alana, a sideways look and then slowly turned her gaze to Alana.
This woman was Alana's lawfully wedded chief's wife, Gerile.
The reason why the Aqitu Tribe could become one of the three major tribes on the grassland was almost entirely due to Gerile's maternal family.
And Gerile was also a brave and battle - experienced female warrior.
So...
Alana was a bit afraid of his wife...
But what he was most thankful for was that no matter how many women he slept with, this woman didn't care at all. Otherwise, he might have died of depression.
When Alana saw Gerile coming, he shrank his body. But thinking of the beauty behind him, he had to brace himself and stand in front. With a forced smile, he said, "We were talking about... the Prince of Ning from the Great Yan Dynasty has come to the grassland..."
"What?" Gerile frowned, then glared at Alana fiercely and said coldly, "What, are you scared now? It was you who secretly cooperated with the Xiliang State behind my back, and it was you who openly opposed the Prince of Ning. Now that the enemy might be coming, you're backing down?"
Alana hid his hatred in his heart and just grinned, "I'm just waiting for my wife to come up with a solution."
"You've got these vixens on your mind all day long. I think you're getting more and more stupid!"
"Your wife is right, your wife is right..." Alana lowered his head and still smiled.
But in his lowered eyes, there was only malice.
"You go and find out which tribe captured the Princess of Ning. Then try your best to rescue her and return her to the Prince of Ning. Show him some goodwill. Maybe he won't hold you accountable for your previous mistakes."
"Sure enough, my wife is so smart and resourceful!" Alana then raised his face and smiled brightly.
Gerile wasn't happy because of Alana's praise. She just said coldly that he would die because of women one day and then turned around and left.
When Gerile was gradually walking away, the smile on Alana's face disappeared instantly, leaving only cold - blooded hatred.
Xu Xin watched silently from the side, her mind racing with many thoughts.
Rescue Chu Qing?
How could that be possible!!! She wished that Chu Qing would be tortured and trampled by the enemy and die without a burial place! Rescue her? Don't even think about it!
Thinking of this, Xu Xin gently massaged Alana's shoulders and said softly, "Chief, Xin'er thinks... what your wife did... isn't very appropriate..."
Alana was still secretly cursing Gerile in his heart when Xu Xin's gentle voice suddenly caressed him like a spring breeze.
"Oh? Then, beauty, what's your idea?"
"Xin'er thinks that Aqitu is very powerful. As one of the three major tribes on the grassland, if we show goodwill to the people of the Great Yan Dynasty, won't we be looked down upon by the other two tribes? By then, after the Prince of Ning leaves, the other two tribes will surely sneer at you. This wasn't your idea at all, but you'll have to bear so many unpleasant rumors because of it. Xin'er really feels wronged for you."
Xu Xin's words really hit Alana's heart. He suddenly tightened his big hand and pulled Xu Xin into his arms.
"My beauty is still so understanding! Unlike that shrew! She only thinks about her maternal family!" As he said, Alana kissed Xu Xin.
Xu Xin giggled and turned her face away as if shy.
"So... my beauty, do you have any good ideas?"
"Xin'er is just a woman and is far less far - sighted than you, Chief. But Xin'er thinks... instead of showing goodwill to the Prince of Ning, you might as well... cooperate with other tribes?"
"Oh? You mean... cooperate with the Wumushan or Baharnao tribes?" Alana narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Sure enough, the chief is so smart."
"But I heard that these two tribes have already cooperated! Their cooperation is nothing more than to deal with our Aqitu! And then annex those small tribes one by one!"
"Chief~" Xu Xin pursed her lips and smiled, "You can first cooperate with them to deal with the Prince of Ning of the Great Yan Dynasty. After dealing with the Prince of Ning, you can secretly cooperate with one of the tribes to annex the other. During that period, you can humble yourself a bit and show weakness~ When these two tribes start to fight... you can profit from it. Finally..." At this point, Xu Xin smiled innocently.
Alana was secretly shocked. Although this method sounded a bit despicable... but... it had to be said that it was a good method!
It was much better than that shrew's stupid idea!
He really had found a treasure!
Thinking of this, a dark look suddenly flashed in Alana's eyes. He picked Xu Xin up and carried her into the tent.
He thought...
He could do it again!
