The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

The sound of horse hooves stopped, and the eldest prince Luandituo took a few steps forward.

I saw a tall woman who lifted the curtain and stuck her head out, with one hand reaching inside to support a woman in luxurious clothes.

Luandituo looked at the person who got off the carriage and asked tentatively, "Miss Yu?"

"You must be the eldest prince, right? Let's not beat around the bush and just be direct."

Looking at the man with his arms folded and some impatience in his eyes, Luandituo completely put aside his doubts.

It’s just as the rumors said.

Luandituo hid the contempt in his eyes.

"Miss Yu is such a straightforward person. Okay, let's get straight to business. Please."

Seeing him like this, Yun Zhi knew how much he believed it.

While holding the hairpin on her head, Yun Zhi glanced at several sheltered places in the yard. She was a cautious person.

She raised her head proudly and said, "Let's go."

Inside the back room.

Yun Zhi looked at the tables and chairs inside with disdain and said, "Let's put it this way."

"The letter to the Grand Prince has been written very clearly. We will exchange salt for your horses. We will put the salt in the carriage behind. The Grand Prince can send someone to check it out."

Luandituo was not angry at her disgusted behavior. He gave a look to a Hu slave and asked him to go out and check.

Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the northern barbarians to obtain salt.

Knowing that they would come to rob once a year, there was not much salt left in the county town.

Now that he can get this batch of salt, I believe his father will use him more in the future.

So he had no dissatisfaction with Yu Shu's words and deeds. Anyway, he didn't take the daughter of a marquis seriously.

After a while, Hu Nu came in and nodded at him.

Now that he saw that what was written in the letter had indeed been delivered, Luandituo immediately laughed.

"Marquis Pingyang truly keeps his promise."

"That's right, but I don't know where the two thousand horses the eldest prince promised are."

"Put it in the back."

Luandituo pointed to the place behind.

"Shall I take Miss Yu to see it?"

"Okay, let's take a look."

Coming to the back, Yun Zhi looked at the strong horse and nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad, you can use it for breeding in the future.

"Miss Yu, how is it? This horse is considered quite good among ours."

"Okay."

Yun Zhi looked at Zhou Yifeng and Chen Yuanshu, "Go count and see if the number is correct?"

"We would never lie to the Marquis of Pingyang, but it's good to count them."

About a quarter of an hour later, they came back.

"Miss, it is indeed two thousand horses."

Luandituo looked at her, "Then...is our deal done?"

"Well, you can take that salt with you."

"Hahaha, that's great. I hope to have the chance to trade with Miss Yu's father again."

"Let's talk about it next time."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Luandituo ordered people to take the jars of salt from the carriage and put them in his own carriage.

"Then Miss Yu, we will meet again later."

Luandituo jumped on his horse and left with these people.

After they left, Yun Zhi could still feel the vague gazes from all around her.

She kicked the stone at her feet and said, "It stinks here. I will never do this kind of thing again. It's so annoying."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yifeng with visible dissatisfaction, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you take out the flares and let father's people transport these horses back."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhou Yifeng took out the flare from his arms and pulled it into the sky.

After a few moments, hundreds of people were seen rushing here after sending out signal flares.

the other side.

Luandituo looked at the person who came back and asked, "How is it?"

"That's right. After you left, that little Miss Jiao kept complaining. We then fired a signal flare and sent someone over to help. The people who arrived were quite powerful. We evacuated before they arrived."

"Then it looks like he is the Marquis of Pingyang, not someone pretending to be him. Let's go."

……

After noticing that the people around him had evacuated, Chen Yuanshu walked up to Yun Zhi.

"My lord, they've retreated."

"Ah."

At this moment, Yun Zhi took off her disguise and became the man who was in charge of the situation as before.

Soon, five hundred people stood in front of Yun.

"Send these horses back, take a detour, pass through Pingyang County, and pretend to accidentally reveal your whereabouts when you arrive in Pingyang County."

"Yes, my lord."

After explaining what happened here, Yun Zhi looked at Chen Yuanshu and Zhou Yifeng, "This matter is settled, let's go back."

"Yes."

After the two got on the carriage, Zhou Yifeng drove the carriage back to Qingyun County.

As for the coachman who had just come to transport salt, he drove the carriage back to the county town alone.

When going back, you don’t have to rush and can slow down.

Yun Zhi calculated the time in her mind.

Day three.

Yun Zhi brought the two of them to a teahouse and sat in a side room, listening to the conversation outside.

"Have you heard? The Marquis of Pingyang actually bought horses from the Xiongnu."

"Marquis Pingyang? What does he want the horses from the Xiongnu? And how did you know about this?"

"Hey, this story has been spread for a long time, but you still don't know. When Pingyang Hou had the horses transported back, he was accidentally seen by someone. As for why he bought the Xiongnu horses, you don't even know the reason?"

"I don't know, I hope you can help me solve this puzzle."

The man leaned closer to him and lowered his voice, "You know how fiercely they've been fighting lately. A good horse is like a tiger with wings on the battlefield."

When this person heard this, his eyes suddenly opened.

"And ah..."

Yun Zhi didn't listen to the rest of the words.

It seems that both purposes of this trip were successfully accomplished.

When Yunzhi set out, he gave orders to the spies who were lying in ambush in various places.

He ordered them to start spreading the news that Pingyang Hou went to the Xiongnu to buy horses a few days after receiving the letter.

It seems that everyone in the world knows about it now.

The frame-up was completed.

As for whether the various forces and the people would think too much, that is not something Yun Zhi can control, right?

Pingyang Houfu.

"Hasn't it been discovered yet who spread it?"

The person below wiped the sweat from his head and said, "No, it happened suddenly. Everyone in the world knew about it in an instant."

"This is a conspiracy, can't those people see it?"

Marquis Pingyang was completely furious as he was blamed for this early in the morning.

How can I not be angry?

"I checked with Prince Gong, but the former Crown Prince and his men didn't find any of it. Did they do it?"

Among them, they made the most profit, forcing Pingyang Hou to guess that they were the ones who did it.

"It's... still not clear yet."

"waste."

Pingyang Hou paced back and forth angrily, "Can't they use their brains to think about why I sent Shu'er instead of my son?"

The subordinates looked at the angry Marquis of Pingyang and said, "They said that you sent the young lady to go so as not to attract attention. If the young master went, it would attract the attention of various forces."

"He also said that if there hadn't been a mistake on the way back, you would have succeeded."

Generally, various forces would not send people to keep an eye on an arrogant and domineering woman, but would focus their manpower on a few key people.

"fart!"

Pingyang Hou's chest heaved rapidly with anger as he looked at the people who were hesitating below.

"What else did they say?"

"They also said that you bought horses from the Xiongnu and might have even joined forces with them."

Hearing this, Pingyang Hou could no longer control himself.

He grabbed things on the table and threw them on the ground.

What a vicious plan! This is like roasting him on the fire.

The Central Plains has been at odds with the Huns since ancient times. Now that it is reported that he has formed an alliance with the Huns, I am afraid that everyone will rise up to attack him.

Don't let him know who did it, otherwise he will skin him alive and make him die a miserable death.

"Hurry up and explain it to the world. If the explanation is not clear, find some scapegoats."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."
