Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger: My Funny System is Too Fierce

"What? The envoy from Beidi wants to see me?" Su Qing looked at Mo Yunchen in shock.

"More than that," Mo Yunchen frowned, "They specifically asked you to participate in the peace talks."

[Ding! Major turning point!]

Danger Level: ★★★★★

[Tips: There is something fishy here]

Su Qing narrowed her eyes: "Why do they want to see me?"

"Because of the plum blossom formation you demonstrated in the military camp a few days ago," Mo Yunchen said, "somehow it piqued their interest."

"No," Su Qing said immediately, "Besides you and the Second Prince, the only person present that day was..."

She suddenly thought of something.

[Ding! The truth is about to come to light]

[Suggestion: Tell the prince your guess]

[Reward: Improved case-solving ability]

"Your Highness," Su Qing lowered her voice, "Could it be that someone deliberately leaked the news?"

Mo Yunchen nodded: "I think so too."

"Second Prince?"

"Well," Mo Yunchen said with a cold look in his eyes, "He has been very close to the Beidi envoy recently."

[Ding! Conspiracy emerges]

[The Second Prince's Purpose: To Test You Through the Northern Di]

【Suggestion: Use the same trick against the opponent】

"So," Su Qing said with a sly smile, "why don't we put on a play too?"

Mo Yunchen raised his eyebrows: "How do you want to act?"

"Since they want to see the Plum Blossom Formation," Su Qing winked, "then let them see it to their heart's content."

Ding! Great idea!

The next day, peace talks were held in the imperial palace.

Su Qing attended as a military advisor, standing behind Mo Yunchen. She noticed that both the Second Prince and Concubine Jia had meaningful smiles on their faces.

[Ding! Enemy Situation Analysis]

[Second Prince: Victory is in the grasp]

[Princess Jia: Watch the show.jpg]

【Suggestion: Wait and see】

The Beidi envoy was a strong man with a beard. He stared at Su Qing as soon as he came in.

"Is this Miss Su who is proficient in military tactics?" asked the messenger.

Su Qing bowed and said, "I don't deserve this honor."

"I heard you created a new formation?" the messenger continued. "Why don't you demonstrate it?"

[Ding! The trap is coming!]

【Suggestion: Follow the plan】

[Tips: The prince will cooperate with you]

Su Qing glanced at Mo Yunchen and saw him nod slightly before she said, "I wonder what kind of demonstration the envoy would like to see?"

"Let's demonstrate the transition between offense and defense," the envoy said with a smile. "I've brought a few guards with me, so why not have them help us?"

Good man, he wants to take the opportunity to test the flaws in the military formation!

[Ding! Danger warning]

[The other party's purpose: to obtain military secrets]

【Suggestion: Use the improved version】

"No need," Mo Yunchen said calmly, "We can just use our own people."

Su Qing walked to the center of the training ground and began to arrange the formation. But this time, she used a modified plum blossom formation. Although it looked the same, it actually contained a hidden secret.

During the demonstration, she noticed that the Beidi envoy was constantly recording something.

[Ding! Suspicious behavior detected]

[The messenger is drawing the battle formation]

【Suggestion: Deliberately reveal flaws】

Su Qing immediately adjusted her strategy and made some adjustments at certain key points. What seemed like flaws were actually traps.

Such an obvious flaw, I don’t believe they can’t see it.

Ding! Smart!

[Prince: This girl is becoming more and more interesting.]

[Messenger: I've been fooled.jpg]

After the demonstration, the Northern Di envoy was very satisfied: "It really lives up to its reputation!"

The Second Prince then spoke up: "Since Miss Su is so proficient in military tactics, why not let her participate in the peace talks?"

Mo Yunchen's eyes turned cold.

[Ding! The Second Prince's Trap]

[Purpose: To allow you to participate in government affairs]

【Suggestion: Decline】

"I dare not," Su Qing said quickly, "how can a woman participate in military and national affairs?"

"Miss Su is too modest," the envoy said with a smile, "With talents like you, the Eastern Kingdom will surely prosper!"

This is a very meaningful statement.

[Ding! The other party has other intentions]

[Warning: This is a test]

【Suggestion: Play dumb】

Su Qing pretended to be shy and said, "Your Excellency, thank you for your compliment."

After the negotiation, Mo Yunchen called Su Qing aside and said, "They have memorized the formation."

"I know," Su Qing said with a smile, "but what they remembered was false."

Mo Yunchen's eyes flashed with admiration: "Did you do that on purpose?"

"Of course," Su Qing said proudly, "If they deploy their troops according to this formation, they will be completely wiped out!"

[Ding! Tacit cooperation]

[Crown Prince Favorability +20]

【Unlock: Fight Side by Side】

"Girl," Mo Yunchen suddenly said, "You are in danger."

"what?"

"The Second Prince has set his sights on you," Mo Yunchen said solemnly, "He suspects your military talent may have come from a different source."

Su Qing was shocked. Could it be that she was discovered to have a system?

[Ding! Crisis alert!]

【Suggestion: Change the subject】

【Tips: Act like a spoiled child?】

"Your Highness, are you worried about me?" Su Qing blinked.

Mo Yunchen: "......"

[Ding! Acting like a spoiled child successfully]

[Prince: This woman always manages to change the subject]

【Suggestion: Keep going】

"You..." Mo Yunchen said helplessly, "I am serious."

"I'm serious too," Su Qing said with a smile, "With His Highness here, what am I afraid of?"

Mo Yunchen suddenly came closer: "Do you trust me so much?"

"Of course," Su Qing said with a sly smile, "Who made me like His Highness?"

【Ding! Earthy love talk MAX】

[Prince: This woman is so capable]

[Suggestion: Stop it, he can’t stand it anymore]

Sure enough, the tips of Mo Yunchen's ears turned red again.

At this moment, a eunuch came running in: "Your Highness, the Emperor summons you!"

Before leaving, Mo Yunchen whispered, "Be careful of the Second Prince."

Su Qing nodded. It seems that this peace talk is just the beginning.

【Task Summary】

[1. Successfully misleading the Northern Di]

[2. Responding to the Second Prince's Probe]

3. Deepen the emotional development

4. But...the crisis has just begun.

On the way back home, Su Qing kept thinking about what happened today.

Why did Bei Di want to see her? Why did the Second Prince intervene? And what about Concubine Jia's meaningful smile...

【System prompt】

1. Someone is checking your background

2. The Northern Di envoys are suspicious.

[4. But...with the Crown Prince's protection, what's there to be afraid of?]

Su Qing: ...Can your system be more serious?

【System cute.jpg】

【Isn’t this because I’m afraid you’ll be too nervous?】

[Tips: There will be a surprise tonight~]

At this moment, Xiao Cui came running over and said, "Miss, the prince sent someone to deliver something!"

Su Qing: ???

What is this sinister prince up to?
