"Stop! Who are you?" The Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom had planned to enter the city earlier, but unexpectedly, one needed a pass to enter the capital city of the Qin Dynasty. Why didn't the Grassland King give them any information about this?
"Forget it. We won't enter today. Let's go back." They didn't have any passes.
"What did you say? A pass?" The Grassland King was also shocked when he heard what had happened at the city gate. There was no such requirement when he entered the city before. What had happened?
"I heard that the Regent Prince and his men issued this order especially to protect the King's safety. The passes were distributed last night." This news was brought back by a scout who had gone to the city gate to gather information this morning.
"Yuan Yuhan!" The Grassland King had made many calculations, but he had forgotten about Yuan Yuhan. He never expected that this man would become an obstacle to his plan.
"Find someone to get a few passes for the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom and her entourage." He didn't believe that Yuan Yuhan could be so vigilant.
"Master, that might not be possible. Each pass has a small portrait on it. Only the person in the portrait is allowed to enter." This was the most difficult part. If there were no portraits, he would have already managed to get the people in.
Actually, it was Mu Fengqie who came up with the idea of adding portraits. To prevent people from stealing passes, a simple portrait was drawn on each one.
Thanks to Yuan Yuhan being a prince, he had many people under his command. A group of them worked overnight to draw portraits of the residents in this area.
"Now the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom won't be able to enter." Mu Fengqie looked at the pass in his hand with satisfaction. With a pass, one could enter; without one, there was no way in.
"That's not necessarily true. We can only keep the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom out for a while. The Grassland King will surely find a way to get her in." After all, the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom was personally invited by the Grassland King. He couldn't let her come for nothing.
"That's enough. It's good to anger the Grassland King." Jing Xunce said.
They were now thinking about how the Grassland King would get the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom in, but they never expected that the Grassland King would come directly to them to ask for passes.
"Prince, I have a friend who wants to come and see me. Could you please let her in?" The Grassland King looked at Yuan Yuhan and asked.
"Oh? A friend of the Grassland King? I wonder if I know this person?" This shameless man actually came to ask for a pass right in front of him.
"Well... it might take some time. After all, making a pass requires a certain amount of time, and I need a portrait of your friend to make a pass for her, don't I?" Let's see how you're going to answer this. I'll make you angry.
The Grassland King was indeed very angry. Yuan Yuhan was clearly forcing him to reveal the identity of the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom. The Grassland King gritted his teeth as he looked at Yuan Yuhan. If he had any other way, would he come to him?
It had to be said that Yuan Yuhan and his men had really blocked the Grassland King this time. If he wanted to get someone in, he had to tell them what the person looked like so that they could make a pass.
The emperors of each country knew what the emperors of other countries looked like. So if he gave out the portrait of the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom, her whereabouts would be revealed.
"Prince, my friend doesn't like to show herself in public, and I don't have a pass either."
Yuan Yuhan took a sip of tea and smiled. "The Grassland King has misunderstood. You do have a pass. It's just that the passes for us nobles are different from others. They're a bit more complicated to make, but they'll be ready soon."
You think you can get away with it?
"I'll go back and ask her." With that, the Grassland King left.
Yuan Yuhan watched the Grassland King leave in a huff and burst out laughing. It was really hilarious. He never thought that the smart Grassland King would be trapped by such a small pass. If this got out, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?
"Tonight, you take a few men and knock out the guards on the city wall. Then bring the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom in." Since they couldn't enter openly, they would enter secretly. Let's see what Yuan Yuhan can do.
That night, the guards knocked out the guards on the city wall. Just as they were about to open the city gate to let the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom and her entourage in, they were discovered.
"What are you guys doing?" A team of imperial guards ran over and surrounded the guards. It seemed that the Regent Prince was right. There really were people trying to sneak out of the city.
"Where are your passes? Show them to us." He wanted to see who was so bold as to try to leave the city during curfew.
When the guards realized that their plan had failed, they ran away with their men. Fortunately, their lightness kung fu was good, and they weren't caught by the imperial guards. Otherwise, what were a few Grassland men doing opening the city gate at night? That would be something to think about.
"Damn it!" The Grassland King knocked over the cup on the table when he heard what the guards said.
The Grassland King tried other methods, but all of them were discovered. He then gradually realized that he had been played by Yuan Yuhan. Yuan Yuhan was just waiting for him to confess.
The next day, the Grassland King went to find Yuan Yuhan.
"Prince."
"Hey~ The Grassland King is here. Have a seat. So, what did your friend say?" Yuan Yuhan looked at the Grassland King with a smile. In the end, he still came to him.
"The Regent Prince is joking. You already know who this person is, don't you?" The Grassland King stared at Yuan Yuhan menacingly.
"Hey~ How can the Grassland King say that? I'm not the Grassland King. How would I know who your friends are?" Someone like you can have friends? It's already good that people don't stab you in the back. Friends? Bah!
The Grassland King's mouth twitched. He understood what Yuan Yuhan meant. Wasn't he insinuating that he had no friends? He never needed such things. There was nothing more trustworthy than power.
"My friend is the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom. Are you satisfied, Regent Prince?" The Grassland King gritted his teeth as he looked at Yuan Yuhan.
"What are you talking about, Grassland King? What do you mean I'm satisfied? I never knew that the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom was your friend. But since she's the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom, we can't treat her lightly. I'll have to report this to the Emperor first." In short, she can't enter for now.
"In that case, I'll trouble the Regent Prince to be quick. I'm in a hurry." You guys can enjoy your moment of victory. Before long, you won't be laughing anymore.
"Sure. If the Grassland King has nothing else to do, you can leave first."
