Chapter 146 You Will See Me Soon
Nie Youren blurted out, "The letter that Minister Ye found on the day you ascended the throne was the correspondence between you and Humu Khan?"
The Nie family, together with the Hu family and the Di family, controlled the entire northern food and horses of the entire Qi Dynasty. As the next head of the Nie family, Nie Youren naturally knew that Qi Wushuang had bought horses from the north ten years ago, but he did not know that the other party was Humu Khan.
“Yes, but the most important letter is in the hands of the Grand Prince.
Wu Wei has gone to the Northland. He wants to take the letter back from the Grand Prince, but I think the best way is to kill the Grand Prince to prevent future troubles."
Nie Youren was shocked: "Minister Ye went to the north?"
"Well, he went alone."
"I rely on..."
Nie Youren wanted to say, "That was a life-or-death situation," but he swallowed the words back when he looked at Qi Wushuang.
Chu Fuchi asked Qi Wushuang: "When did you send the letter to Humuhan to instigate him?"
"The night I ascended the throne."
"So you guessed at that time that Ye Wuwei would go to the Northland?"
"Wu Wei told me that day that he went to the Northland to get the letter for me.
I originally wanted to delay Wu Wei as much as possible and wait for news from the North to stop him, but I didn't expect him to leave so soon."
"The bomb formula you mentioned?"
"Wu Wei left it behind when he left."
Chu Fuchi sighed:
"Whatever. The eldest prince will always be a nuisance if he stays here. It's better to take this opportunity to kill him."
“In fact, even if there was no such thing as this letter, I would have planned to settle the Northland first.
I don't want to wait until the tax system reform is officially implemented before the aristocratic families unite with the North.
At that time, I was attacked from both the north and the south, and I was in a more passive position.
I've simply brought forward the time for our showdown with the North."
“Your concerns are reasonable.
A few days ago, Grand Tutor Yuwen met with Mu Yiyang alone, and the two had a secret conversation for a long time.
After talking with Mu Yiyang, Master Yuwen met with Shui Changqing again.
“I don’t want to guess, but I know:
Yuncheng is the Shui clan's medicinal material base. Grand Tutor Yuwen wants to unite the Shui clan and Mu Yiyang to connect Yuncheng, Huishui, Nanling, and Fengdu, turning the entire south into a small country.
Nie Youren: "Does the Yuwen family have such great ambitions?"
"Grand Tutor Yuwen has always had great ambitions. His previous target was Chamdo. Now that he sees that Chamdo is hopeless, he will definitely think of other ways."
"If this is the case, Huishui and Nancheng are crucial."
"You're right. As long as we control Huishui and Nancheng, it will be impossible for the South to become an independent country.
But we have to solve the problem in the north first.”
After Chu Fuchi and the others left, Qi Wushuang walked into Ye Wuwei's bedroom and gently stroked the pillow where Ye Wuwei was sleeping:
"Wu Wei, wait for me. I will come to you soon. You will see me soon."
……
After leaving Qi Wushuang's bedroom, Nie Youren asked Chu Fuchi, "Did Minister Ye really go to the Northland alone?"
"Well, judging by the time, he should have entered the desert area south of the desert by now."
"He was traveling alone through the desert..."
"Before he left, he asked me to prepare some things for him. I had never seen some of them before, but they all looked like they were used in the desert.
So I thought: He must be familiar with the desert."
"That's good. Pray for his safe return."
"I'm not too worried about him crossing the desert alone. I'm worried about him being alone in the North."
"I don't think you need to worry about what will happen to him in the North. He's a very clever man and will survive.
Besides, once Minister Ye arrives in the North, he will naturally learn about the news that the North has assembled a 100,000-strong army and is marching south, and he will not act rashly."
Chu Fuchi thought about it and agreed.
Nie Youren gossiped softly again, "Do you think His Majesty is leading the army in person right now because of Minister Ye?"
Chu Fuchi glanced at Nie Youren, ignored him, and left.
Nie Youren nudged Qi Cheng again and asked, "Tell me, is His Majesty leading the army in person at this time because of Minister Ye?"
Qi Cheng glanced at Nie Youren:
"Thanks to Minister Ye speaking on behalf of the Chu family in front of His Majesty, your wife was granted the title of Princess. You should consider how to thank Minister Ye."
After saying that, Qi Cheng also left.
Nie Youren:
Damn, he just wanted to gossip, why did no one like him?
However, Qi Cheng reminded him that he should thank Minister Ye properly when he comes back!

Just as Chu Fuchi had expected, Ye Wuwei entered the desert area south of the desert.
The horses they were riding now were not the horses produced in Yingdu that they had ridden in Chamdo before, but wild horses that were more suitable for galloping in the desert and had strong drought resistance.
This wild horse has a strange appearance, with a body like a mule, a face like a domestic donkey, a strong body and strong limbs.
After entering the desert, Ye Hongxia looked at Ye Wuwei, who was wearing sand goggles, a dust helmet, gloves, a vest, and long riding boots:
"Can't you spare me one or two? There's sand in my hair."
"I also have a pair of gloves and a pair of long socks. Do you want them?"
"I want your helmet and sand goggles."
"No, I only have one set."
"When you were looking through the package just now, I saw a pair of sand goggles."
Damn, why are her eyes so sharp?
"Forget it, I'll give you a pair of sand goggles."
Ye Wuwei stopped his horse, took out a pair of sand goggles from the package and handed them to Ye Hongxia.
"I want gloves too."
Ye Wuwei resigned himself to his fate and gave another pair of gloves to Ye Hongxia.
Ye Hongxia put on her clothes while muttering, "Don't you know how to show respect to my mother?"
"I didn't ask you to follow me."
"What are the other things in your package for?"
"Disguise."
"Can you still disguise yourself?"
"Of course. Do you think I'd dare to go to the North alone without any skills? I don't mind living a long life."
"What's so great about being able to disguise myself? I have a human skin mask."
Ye Wuwei expressed great curiosity about the ancient human skin mask: "Can you show me the human skin mask?"
"You trade it for your helmet."
"Forget it then."
After saying that, Ye Wuwei spurred his horse forward.
Looking at Ye Wuwei's back, Ye Hongxia smiled: her son is quite to her liking!
Compared to the Young Master...
Thinking of the young master, Ye Hongxia sighed:
General, I'm sorry I didn't take good care of your son!
But your other son, although he doesn't have my care, is quite outstanding and is no less capable than you!
But he doesn't want to recognize me, and he has no intention of returning to his roots!
After entering the desert, Ye Wuwei discovered that Ye Hongxia had much more experience walking in the desert than he did. Only then did he believe that Ye Hongxia had been to the north to find him.
That night, the two men rested under a desert pile.
Ye Wuwei first sprinkled a circle of medicine around to prevent poisonous snakes and scorpions in the desert from approaching.
After spraying the medicine, Ye Wuwei laid out the moisture-proof mat and said to Ye Hongxia, "You sleep on this."
"how about you?"
Ye Wuwei took out a sleeping bag and got into it, "I'll sleep here."
