Xiao Ce said with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Yunqing Urgen said, "Your Highness, do you really intend to let her go?"

"Isn't that obvious? I've already analyzed it, didn't you hear it? Or do you disagree?"

Faced with Xiao Ce's questioning, Yun Qing Urgen smiled and said, "Your Highness, I certainly agree with your decision... but... if you let her go, there's no need to let those people go as well."

“Who said the prince was going to let them go!” Hu Yidao stepped forward and answered for Xiao Ce before he could speak.

When Xiao Ce saw Hu Yidao speak, he looked at him and seemed to have guessed his intentions.

Yun Qing.Urgen then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, didn't we just say that Wei Wuji was sent to look for it?"

Hu Yidao said, "The prince didn't agree just now, did he? He only asked her who she wanted to take away..."

Yunqing Urgen's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, as if he had suddenly realized something.

Hu Yidao's continued words confirmed his idea.

"Among those Slavic prisoners, with so many of them, can you tell which one is useful and which one is useless?"

Yunqing Urgen shook his head to indicate that he did not know, then his eyes lit up.

"So, Your Highness, you mean... let Princess Eva choose this time! Let her choose the people herself. That way, we won't have to do the selection process!"

Xiao Ce smiled slightly, patted Yun Qing Urgen on the shoulder, and said, "Smart!"

Yun Qing Urgen gave an awkward smile, then said to Xiao Ce with embarrassment, "Your Highness, I almost ruined your plans!"

Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand. Before he could speak, Hu Yidao, who was standing to the side, said, "Old Zhang, don't worry. I was just as clueless as you at first. But as the prince spends more time here, he'll learn everything!"

Yun Qing.Urgen nodded repeatedly when he heard Hu Yidao say this.

Then, looking at Xiao Ce with a serious expression, he said, "Your Highness, I will definitely learn from you!"

Xiao Ce glanced at Hu Yidao to the side and said to Yun Qing.Urgen, "Don't listen to him, you've done a great job. You've managed this wretched place of the Turks very well, Yin Pan'er told me! You've done a very competent job..."

Praised by Xiao Ce, Yun Qing Urgen became even more embarrassed: "Your Highness, please don't mock me. I was the one who had the Turks divided in two. If it weren't for you, we would still be a long way off in terms of when we could subdue this place..."

"Don't laugh at me, but before I came out, I quelled an internal rebellion..."

Yunqing Urgen then recounted the events of the previous rebellion by the four leaders.

After listening, Xiao Ce said with a hint of approval, "You did the right thing! Very good... You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Nobody's perfect, just like me. If I were really that great, I wouldn't have been able to unify the Xiao Kingdom after all this time! Right?"

Before Yun Qing Urgen could respond, Wei Wuji arrived with Nikolaevich Eva and a group of Slavs.

Yunqing Urgen wisely shut up!

After stepping forward, Nikolaevich Eva said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, the King of the Northern Desert, these are the people!"

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Wei Wuji, "General Wei Wuji, go and take them all away and take good care of them!"

When Nikolaevich Eva heard Xiao Ce say this, her smiling face immediately fell.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? You just said you were a man of your word... and in such a short time, you've already broken your promise?"

Xiao Ce said to Nikolayevich Eva, "Your Highness, I agree to let you go. But think about it carefully. You just said you wanted to take these people with you, but I only asked who you wanted to take! I didn't agree to anything!"

Nikolaevich Eva turned pale, then said, "You're playing me?"

Xiao Ce smiled faintly, and said provocatively, "If that's what you think, I won't deny it! But don't worry. As long as you're sincere, I'll take good care of you and your people!"

With that, Wei Wuji waved his hand and led the dozen or so people downstairs.

Those Slavs wanted to resist.

As it turns out, Wei Wuji, who usually appears cheerful, is actually quite ruthless.

He simply held the gun to their foreheads.

Nikolayevich Eva then spoke to them in Slavic language, saying, "This Northern King has agreed to let me leave, don't worry. I've reached an agreement with him! He won't harm you! Don't resist him! Listen to him..."

Although Nikolaevich Eva is a woman, she still has a lot of influence here.

After he spoke, these people immediately stopped resisting.

He replied in Slavic language as well: "Your Highness, can you trust him? Is this person trustworthy?"

Nikolaevich Eva glanced at Xiao Ce subconsciously.

Xiao Ce pretended not to understand what they were saying and smiled at her.

The reason they dared to say these things so openly in front of him was because they were certain that he wouldn't understand.

Actually, their Slavic language wasn't standard; it sounded more like a local dialect. But even so, Xiao Ce could understand most of it.

"Although I haven't known him for long, I can say with absolute certainty that he's a smart man! A smart man wouldn't do anything foolish, and I've already analyzed the pros and cons with him! So, just don't provoke them!"

They listened and nodded: "Your Highness, he has now used you and knows how important we are to you. After you leave, they will surely torture and interrogate us severely... We... We... If we can't hold on, we'll have no choice but to commit suicide!"

Nikolayevich Eva frowned and said, "I will follow his lead and make the terms. If he goes back on his word, you don't need to hold out. Just tell him whatever he wants to know!"

Xiao Ce watched as they almost started chatting!

"Alright, that's enough! Your Highness, I've already given you a meeting and a chat! Please don't go too far!"

When Nikolaevich Eva saw that Xiao Ce had interrupted them, she looked slightly embarrassed but didn't say anything.

"You can take them away now! They won't resist! But please treat them kindly..."

Xiao Ce nodded, waved his hand, and told Wei Wuji to take the person away.

Nikolaevich Eva said to Xiao Ce, "I have one more condition!"

Xiao Ce didn't answer her, but said, "Don't worry, I won't torture them... I won't hurt them... I want them here, even if it's just for my own safety!"

Nikolayevich Eva saw that Xiao Ce had guessed what she wanted to say.

She was incredibly surprised. She had thought of everything, but she hadn't considered that Xiao Ce had understood everything they had said in their Slavic dialect.

Before she could speak, he chimed in.

Xiao Ce continued, "Of course, I still have a condition... that is, you must abide by the agreement!"

Nikolayevich Eva said firmly, "Alright, I value my promises the most, so you can rest assured!"

Xiao Ce nodded and said no more.

Then Yan Jia, who was following her, arranged for some people to escort her away.

Watching her leave.

Yunqing Urgen said with some worry, "Your Highness, aren't we letting a tiger return to the mountains?"

Xiao Ce raised an eyebrow: "Who would know? Alright, we have our own things to do!"

Yun Qing.Urgen looked surprised: "Didn't the Slavs finish fighting? What else is there?"
