Women dressed as men: powerful officials

"Third Master, do you want to save someone?"

Chen Shan looked at the king's tent where there was no movement for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Wait a little longer." Bei Yao gently stroked his fingers and repeated, "Wait a little longer."

"Third Master." Chen Shan frowned and reminded him, "Xu Yuan still has letters between the Geshu tribe and Wei Chenggong on him. These letters must not fall into Geshuwang's hands."

Bei Yao was in the capital, but he traveled all the way to Sishui County just for the lost city defense map of Hanzhou.

However, on the night when he went to King Geshu's tent to look for the city defense map, Bei Yao accidentally discovered the "family letters" exchanged between Geshu Wang and Wei Chenggong.

This led to the scene of burning Geshu’s tent.

Now that the New Year is approaching, Bei Yao is still reluctant to return to the capital, in order to investigate the collusion between Wei Chenggong, the magistrate of Sishui County, and Geshu Wang, as well as the man behind this matter - the prince.

The prince is the heir to the throne, so naturally he has a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, he colluded with the Geshu tribe to fight to support the war and make money. His intentions must be ulterior motives.

Conquering Geshu is a military achievement.

And returning to the capital with evidence of the crown prince's collusion with Geshu would be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

But Beiyao first gave the city defense map to others, and then did not take the letter back.

Chen Shan didn't understand why Bei Yao did this and why he was so nice to Xu Yuan.

It seems that the man only has some courage.

Chen Shan couldn't help but ask, "Third Master, are you still thinking of recruiting Xu Yuan to your side?"

"Xuyuan reminded me that the prince is the heir to the throne and is the most popular figure in the court. I cannot overthrow him with just a few pieces of letter paper. Not only will it fail to overthrow him, but it will also make him pay attention to me."

Bei Yao's eyes fell on the banner of King Geshu's tent and continued, "Since we can't kill him with one strike, we should take our time. We can't rush this kind of thing."

After hearing Bei Yao's words, Chen Shan understood a little bit, "I understand. Then when will I rescue him? It is said that Ge Shuwang has a violent personality. I am afraid that Xu Yuan is in danger now."

Chen Shan also has some selfish motives.

These days, he and Xuyuan get along pretty well.

Xuyuan was not a bad person and should not have died like this.

Moreover, if he had not told Zhang Yue that he was captured, Xu Yuan would not have rushed into King Geshu's tent alone.

He couldn't ignore death.

"Don't you want to see how capable he is? I also want to see how capable he is to dare to go into the Geshu tribe alone."

After Bei Yao finished speaking, he continued to look at the king's tent slowly.

There are many smart people in this world, and even more conceited ones.

Beiyao hopes that Xuyuan is a smart person, but does not want Xuyuan to be a conceited person.

If a person dares to make a wish, he should have the confidence to leave alive.

Otherwise, this act of breaking into the king's tent alone is not courage, nor is it brotherhood, but stupidity. He can't even see his own weight and just rushes into the king's tent so recklessly. It is extremely stupid.

Hearing Bei Yao's words, Chen Shan's heart couldn't help but rise.

He looked at the king's tent for a moment, then saw someone coming out. He looked again and said, "Third Master, am I seeing this correctly? Is that... making a wish?"

Someone drew aside the curtain of the king's tent.

Xu Yuan and Geshu Wang came out together, and the two of them were talking and laughing, having a very pleasant conversation.

Chen Shan couldn't believe what he saw.

Bei Yao looked over and was also stunned. He thought that Xu Yuan might fight to the death or escape by luck.

But he didn't expect...the wish would come out just like that.

Apparently, it was Geshuwang who sent him away!

Bei Yao couldn't help but ask: "Chen Shan, you said that Ge Shuwang has a violent personality and is moody. Where did you get this information?"

really!

"My subordinate..." Chen Shan's forehead was covered with sweat. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Geshuwang escorted Xuyuan outside the tent, and after watching Xuyuan get on the horse, he said, "Brother Xu, I remember everything you told me. If you need me in the future, I will definitely help you. Similarly, if you can't do it, I will not be lenient."

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Khan. Once Xu Yuan speaks, he can't go back on his word."

"Great, great!" Ge Shuwang clapped his hands.

Only when the horse disappeared into the desert did Geshuwang withdraw his gaze. Someone beside him asked, "Khan, why do you want to trust a foreigner? What should we do if he changes his mind?"

"He won't. Some people have loyalty in their blood. They are loyal not to the royal family, but to the people of the world."

Geshuwang narrowed his eyes, thinking of his wish, and said, "This man will surely be made a marquis and a prime minister in the future. Perhaps, the day he returns to the court will be the day when the Geshu tribe will be revived."

"What?" Geshuwang's subordinates didn't understand.

Geshu laughed, "You won't understand even if I tell you. Just wait and see. We will be able to return to the prairie soon!"

-

In the desert, make a wish and gallop on horseback.

Not long after she walked, she heard the sound of horses behind her. The sound was urgent, as if they were chasing her.

Xuyuan let out a "whoosh", looked back, and then slowly stopped.

After Beiyao and Chenshan caught up with Xuyuan, Beiyao asked, "Xuyuan, what did you talk about with that brother Shuwang?"

"Mr. Shen, this is a secret."

Xu Yuan knew that Bei Yao knew about it since she was discovered and captured into King Geshu's tent.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Beiyao to follow her as soon as she came out of the Geshu tribe.

He might have been prepared to stand aside and watch, or he might have waited for her to ask for help and then made her owe him a favor.

But no matter what, it is a fact that Beiyao did not come to the rescue immediately.

So what to say?

Beiyao is a man of his word and will do what he promises.

But he is also ruthless and cold-blooded.

Given her friendship with Beiyao, she couldn't just stand by and watch when the temple was ruined, but after going through so much, Beiyao could still ignore it.

Xu Yuan asked herself that in terms of cold-bloodedness, she was not as cold-blooded as Bei Yao.

Therefore, for the sake of power and profit, Beiyao can go to war and leave the entire desert littered with corpses.

Anyway, it wasn't him who died, so he naturally didn't care.

But wishing can’t be fulfilled.

Therefore, they were destined not to become allies.

"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Where does the secret come from?" Bei Yao sat on his horse, looking at the alienation in Xu Yuan's eyes, and said, "I thought we were friends."

"Really?" Xu Yuan smiled softly, "I thought I was doomed today, and I thought Master Shen would help me, but nothing happened. Shen Renyao, we are not friends, because friends will not watch each other on the verge of life and death. What's more, I am a country bumpkin, how can I be Master Shen's friend?"

Chen Shan frowned slightly, and heard that Xu Yuan was blaming Bei Yao for not rescuing him. He couldn't help but said, "My master didn't find the right opportunity, so he didn't rescue him, but he definitely didn't sit back and do nothing."

"But when I saved you in the ruined temple that night, I never thought about whether the timing was right." Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao, his eyes even colder.

"Mr. Shen, you are a good planner. You are always waiting and watching, trying to figure out the other party's cards at all times. I hate this kind of person the most. Indeed, you don't have to save me, because you are planning national affairs, and you can't lose everything because of me. So, I understand why you don't save me, and please understand that I hate your behavior and even you as a person."
