The White-haired Queen

Chapter 152 Encountering Horse Bandits

King Beicang then turned to face Wen Lanyue and said earnestly: "Royal sister, if you have any needs or encounter any difficulties, you must tell me in time. I will do my best and spare no effort to give you all-round cooperation and support." His eyes were full of concern.

Wen Lanyue hurriedly bowed and said sincerely: "Thank you, Royal Brother! Thank you for your trust, care and love!" Her voice was filled with deep gratitude.

King Bei Cang looked down with a sharp gaze and continued, "Although the task of finding the Ebony Wolf Lord will be the responsibility of your brother Bei Ming Yu, you must also assist him. We must go all out to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. The longer we delay, the more variables there will be, and the situation may become more complicated."

Wen Lanyue nodded slightly to show her understanding and agreement: "Well, don't worry, brother. I understand the interests involved." She was well aware of the importance of the mission and was determined to do her best to help.

King Bei Cang nodded with satisfaction and said no more. He looked around, staring at the ministers in the court, and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have any other important matters to report to me?" However, in the face of King Bei Cang's question, everyone remained silent, and the court was silent for a while.

King Bei Cang saw this and understood what was going on, so he waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, then let's adjourn the court." As he finished speaking, the ministers stood up, bowed respectfully, and left the court one by one. The court meeting ended, and King Bei Cang began to deal with government affairs and plan for the future of the country.

That afternoon, Wen Lanyue quickly organized her men and prepared to leave the next morning. Just before leaving, she suddenly received a piece of news: the Ebony Wolf Lord actually went to the mining area and took refuge with Taylor! Not only that, they also accidentally discovered the culprit who poisoned Amu in the mining area - Yeying!

Bei Mingyu heard about this and was very excited to go to Bashile Mountain with Wen Lanyue. He decided to personally capture the Ebony Wolf Lord. Then, when Wen Lanyue negotiated with Taylor, he could also be there to cheer. So, the two of them led their own teams and set off for the mining area together.

After two days of arduous journey, we finally arrived at Wumenglaso Mountain in the evening. Beyond this mountain is Bashile Mountain, which is rich in uranium.

It was a cool autumn day, but the night in the north was howling. The group set up camp at the foot of the mountain, built tents and lit a bonfire to resist the cold and darkness of the night.

The closer they got to their destination, the more nervous they became, and their vigilance increased. Therefore, some people in the team were sent to the front to check the road conditions and possible dangerous situations such as bandits and horse bandits; the other part stayed behind to guard and be on duty to deal with various emergencies. After two days of long journey, everyone felt a little tired and sleepy, and those who had no tasks temporarily went into the tent to rest and adjust.

After Hong He hurriedly finished her meal, she quickly finished the work at hand, and then contentedly lay down in bed and fell into a sweet dream. Wen Lanyue successfully exchanged a fine watch from the "Tianxia Datong" library again - after all, losing the perception of time is really a painful thing.

During his stay in Beicang, Wen Lanyue noticed that this nomadic country had extremely rich resources of cow's milk and goat's milk, but at the same time, the waste was quite serious: the milk that went bad and sour was either poured away or used to feed the animals on the grassland.

Not only that, she even tasted fresh and delicious camel milk with a rich milky aroma for the first time in her life! The taste was simply intoxicating. The taste of this camel milk was much better than any other milk she had drunk before. It had a mellow taste and was smooth in the mouth, as if it was a precious gift given to people by nature.

However, due to the small number of camels, the production of camel milk is relatively limited. Fortunately, the people here cherish camel milk very much and there is almost no waste.

Since she became the "Princess of Friendship" of the Northern Cang Kingdom, she naturally had to seek the welfare of the people of the Northern Cang Kingdom. Therefore, Wen Lanyue specially exchanged a detailed manual on how to process and make dairy products from the "Tianxia Datong" library.

After the mission is successfully completed, she plans to help Beicang build several dairy production lines. At the same time, she must race against time to promote the construction of transportation facilities. After all, the saying "If you want to be rich, build roads first" is well known. Only when the roads become accessible in all directions can the processed dairy products be transported smoothly and sold successfully. Of course, these dairy products can also be sold to her own country - Shangxie.

Just as Wen Lanyue was concentrating on reading a book and studying how to build a production line, a noisy sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent. Did something unexpected happen?

Wen Lanyue came out of the tent, and Jing Li and Lin Zhiyu had been waiting for a long time. Jing Li said solemnly: "A group of extremely vicious horse bandits appeared in Wumen Laso Mountain, and all the spies sent by the prince fell into the hands of the enemy. This group of horse bandits is so arrogant that they even sent a letter to extort ransom!"

Wen Lanyue was shocked and asked, "Don't they know that these people are the subordinates of the King of Beicang?"

Jing Li frowned and said, "They know it very well, but they are not afraid at all. They threatened that no matter who it is, if you want to keep the hostage safe, you must pay a ransom. If the ransom is not paid before 9:00 tomorrow, they will kill the hostage."

"How much ransom did they ask for?" Wen Lanyue's voice involuntarily rose a few notches.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels each, a total of one million taels for four people. They also shamelessly said that this was already a price to give face to the prince. If it were someone else, the ransom would probably have to double..." Jing Li said indignantly.

At this moment, Bei Mingyu's deputy general hurried over and asked Wen Lanyue to discuss important matters. He said, "Now the other party has reduced the ransom by half, but the prince's idea is that if they don't accept writing an IOU to guarantee safety, then we will prepare to launch an attack at night."

Wen Lanyue answered without hesitation, "Okay!" She walked into Bei Mingyu's tent. As soon as she stepped in, a guard stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the other party firmly refuses to accept the IOU proposal and insists on getting real money."

Bei Mingyu frowned and said in a firm tone: "We don't have that much cash. You must do everything you can to delay time and wait for the second team to return. Once they arrive, we will immediately set out to launch an attack." His eyes revealed decisiveness and determination, and he seemed to have been ready for battle.
