The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

After a while.

A figure shrouded in black robes, wearing a mask, with a slender frame whose gender was indistinguishable, arrived in the Imperial Garden.

This person is none other than the most mysterious figure in the Great Jing Dynasty, the High Priest.

He had been in seclusion refining elixirs for the past year, and only recently emerged from seclusion.

"High Priest, take a look at this." Ji Wuxin handed over the battle report and family letter in her hand.

The high priest in black robes said nothing and simply reached out to take the two letters.

First, I read the battle report, and then I read the letters home.

Because he was completely shrouded in a black robe, it was impossible to tell what his expression was.

After a long silence, a hoarse voice rang out from within the black robe: "Your Majesty, this family letter is quite interesting."

From the voice alone, it's impossible to tell whether it's a man or a woman.

"That's interesting." Ji Wuxin nodded. "This Wu Ce is quite clever. He even wrote a battle report specifically to deliver this family letter." Ji Wuxin's expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Just by looking at the contents of the family letter, one can only sense that this eldest prince is a complete coward, only thinking about getting support from the court.

However, some of the information revealed in it is still quite obvious.

First, the Kushan Empire produced a large amount of iron ore, ironware, and even swords and armor that were only found in the Central Plains.

Secondly, the caravans under the Fifth Prince had very close ties with the Kushan Empire!

Previously, Ji Wuxin was wondering how the Kushan Empire and other barbarian tribes could produce so much equipment in such a short time. Now it seems that someone is funding the enemy!

The fact that Wu Quan's caravan had close ties with the other side suggests that Wu Quan was very likely colluding with the enemy!

Even if it's not Wu Quan, it's still the influence of Wu Quan's maternal family!

The only thing missing from the eldest prince's letter home was the name of Wu Quan Erdan.

After listening to Ji Wuxin's words, the High Priest remained silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, I do not believe that the Fifth Prince would collude with the enemy and betray the country."

"The First Prince is honest and kind, without any guile. He would not use such a subtle way to tell His Majesty that the Fifth Prince is a traitor. If he were certain, he would definitely express his suspicions in his letters home."

"Of course, this letter does serve that purpose, but it certainly wasn't written by the eldest prince. Or rather, someone guided the eldest prince in writing this letter!"

"Oh? According to the High Priest, does Wu Ce have a master guiding him?" Ji Wuxin pondered.

"Whether there was a master guiding them, I don't know, but I heard that the Prince of Zhenbei and Jia Tisi of the Imperial City Guard are both in Juebi City right now. Princess Taiping is there too, isn't she?"

"To obtain such secret information, one must have a very large intelligence force; otherwise, it would be impossible to uncover the barbarian's secrets!"

“This is something that the Prince of Zhenbei cannot do, nor can Princess Taiping. It seems that the only one who can do it is Jia Tisi.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuxin suddenly felt a headache coming on.

No matter what the matter is, as long as Jia Daoshi is involved, she will feel constrained.

The High Priest's words actually make a lot of sense. With Jia Daoxian's current power, he certainly has the ability to do this.

This formidable intelligence capability also put Ji Wuxin under great pressure.

Because she had just sent Liu Ruyan to Juebi City to get close to Jia Daoshi.

If Jia Daoshi had such strong intelligence capabilities, Liu Ruyan would have had a very difficult time succeeding.

At this moment, Song Zhaoruo walked over: "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter sent back by Junior Sister Liu via hawk."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuxin immediately turned around and took the secret letter from Song Zhaoruo's hand.

After reading the secret letter, Ji Wuxin frowned even more deeply.

The secret letter stated that Ming Yuexin, the young master of the Ming family, had visited Juebi City, but did not bring any troops with her.

Mingheying, that old fox, is still as cunning as ever.

Apart from this, not a word was mentioned regarding Jia Daoshi.

This was not the secret letter she wanted.

Ji Wuxin did not suspect that Liu Ruyan would betray them; she simply believed that Liu Ruyan had not yet discovered Jia Daoshi's true secrets!

After all, Jia Daoshi had the mysterious Jinshi School behind him.

Those people who have been able to remain hidden in the martial arts world for hundreds of years are naturally not so easy to find.

Ji Wuxin thought for a moment and said, "Have Ruyan find a way to gain Jia Daoshi's trust as soon as possible. If necessary, she can make some sacrifices. Jia Daoshi is a womanizer, she should know what to do, right?"

Song Zhaoruo nodded: "Yes!"

"Alright, go and do it."

"Yes!"

After Song Zhaoruo withdrew, the High Priest asked, "Your Majesty, what are your plans regarding the Fifth Prince?"

Ji Wuxin was quite calm about the matter: "No rush. This is not something Wu Quan can handle. Let the arrows fly for a while. After the matter of Juebi City is resolved, we will deal with these traitors."

……

night.

grassland.

The Kushan Empire.

Golden Tent Camp!

A burly man wearing a black bear skin was drinking and enjoying the song and dance in front of Xiao Kaishan, the chief of the wolf tribe!

Xiao Kaishan downed the mare's milk wine in one gulp, then said to the slaves behind him, "Bring the princess here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The slaves quickly fled the golden tent.

At this moment, Xiao Reba was riding a horse, strolling leisurely on the grassland.

He would occasionally glance in the direction of Cliff City, his dark eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.

Soon, a slave came running up behind Xiao Reba: "Princess! The King requests your presence."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Reba's heart tightened.

The only reason for sending her over at this time is to have her serve the chieftain of the Bear Tribe.

Drink with him!

She even wants to be hugged and cuddled by him!

The thought of this made Xiao Reba feel disgusted!

She had seen the chief of this bear tribe before; he really did look like a bear, he was so ugly. Moreover, she had heard from the people of his tribe that the chief of this bear tribe had not taken a bath for five years!

The smell emanating from him could be detected from dozens of meters away!

Just getting close to Xiao Reba makes my stomach churn!

Although their wolf tribe also lives on the grassland, everyone is quite clean and takes a bath every few days, unlike the bear tribe who only take a bath once every ten years or so.

Thinking of this, Xiao Reba shook her head immediately: "No! I'm not going!"

“Tell my father that he can’t find me!”

Upon hearing this, the slave was terrified and immediately knelt on the ground: "Princess! Please spare me! If you don't come over, I'll be beheaded when I get back!"

Slaves were treated like livestock on the grasslands.

Whether to kill or not is entirely up to the master's decision.
