"You want me to confess and reveal all my craftsmanship?" Xiao Yan sat down.

Just now, she was lying on her stomach and didn't care about her appearance. Now she knows that she still has value, and she feels a little more confident.

At this moment, the biggest thought in her mind was that she must find a way to report the news of Da Qi spies in the royal court to her father.

For this, she can pay any price, and nothing is non-negotiable.

Without waiting for Zhao Ning to answer, she continued: "For many years in Yanping City, I know as much about the civil and military struggles in your country as you do. Whether you admit it or not, Da Qi's current national policy is to emphasize culture and suppress

Wu.

"After the Daizhou Incident, although Da Qi sent 30,000 more troops to Yanmen Pass, they did so in exchange for the demotion of generals Yang and Wu, and no other measures were taken after that.

"Master Zhao, Da Qi may not really believe the various information that your generals have heard, at least not completely, especially the family status. In the eyes of civil servants, these are just excuses for your generals to start a war.

"You want me to personally confess the details outside Yanping City, just because you want me to prove to the Emperor of Daqi, especially the Daqi family, that the Tianyuan tribe has wolfish ambitions?

"Mr. Zhao, your plan is very good, but why should I cooperate with you?"

When she finished speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly felt lucky in her heart.

Daqi's family background is really helpful.

If her analysis was not bad, Da Qi General's spies in the royal court should have discovered many secrets, and at least they would know everything about the Tianyuan tribe's imminent unification of the grassland.

After all, the war is already imminent, and there are many preparations that cannot be concealed from the eyes of the people, nor from the big shots in the royal court.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the news about the goalkeeper is reported to the Emperor of Daqi, the other side should immediately prepare for war and prepare to go to the grassland.

However, because of Da Qi's family status, he did not want Jiang Men to increase in importance and status due to the war, so he slandered Jiang Men in every possible way, and might even say that this was news made up by Jiang Men himself.

After the Daizhou incident, the family might have been a little worried. In order to verify the facts, the Daqi family sent people into the grassland, but they were fooled by the prince's arrangement.

This made the Daqi clan even more convinced that the information obtained by Jiangmen's spies from the royal court was all false and was an excuse for Jiangmen to start a war.

This time she herself was caught and the power of her subordinates was completely exposed. This is the best proof of the Tianyuan tribe's wolf ambition.

But she insisted that she came to Daqi just to do business and make money, and had no other ambitions. The people under her command knew what they were doing, and had no knowledge of her and the royal court's plans.

This was certainly not enough to win the Da Qi emperor's trust, but the Da Qi family would definitely strongly agree with this statement, and would even say that the generals had created all kinds of evidence against them.

This is of course nonsense, and under normal circumstances would only make people laugh.

However, the civil-military struggle in Da Qi, the national policy of emphasizing civility and suppressing military force, and the Emperor of Da Qi's general strategy of supporting poor families have all reached a critical moment. The overall internal affairs are more important than anything else, and the words and deeds of the family may not be completely unconvincing...

.

That's why Zhao Ning needed her to confess in person.

Because this is more convincing than anything else.

For a time, Xiao Yan had a lot of thoughts.

These thoughts of hers are all wishful thinking on her part.

Some are a bit far-fetched.

She would think this way, subconsciously, she wanted to seek a chance of survival so that she could pass the news back to the royal court that there was a spy from Da Qi in the royal court.

Zhao Ning said calmly: "If you help me, of course I will help you. The princess doesn't want to die in a foreign country and end her life, right? If you cooperate, I will keep you alive and send you back to the grassland."

After receiving this coveted reply, Xiao Yan was startled, "Are you willing to let me go back? Aren't you afraid that if I go back, I will find out your spies in the royal court?!"

Zhao Ning smiled with great confidence, "Your Khan is a talented man. If you could find out this spy, he would have been exposed long ago. As long as I don't tell you his identity, you will never be able to find out in your lifetime."

Of course it can't be found, because this spy doesn't exist at all... Zhao Ning added in his heart.

In fact, when he came to see Xiao Yan today and told him so much, it was not what Xiao Yan thought at all. The root cause was that Xiao Yan was a secretive force outside of Yanping City in Great Qi. Among the people of Qi, only he, a reborn person, knew about it.

.

Xiao Yan's people, after these days of interrogation, have proven that they have no idea about the accident in Yanping City! This means that Zhao Ning has no reason to track down the Beihu spies outside Yanping City.

As a last resort, Zhao Ning could only come to Xiao Yan and ask her to confess.

For this reason, he implicitly expressed in his words that there was a spy in the Tianyuan Royal Court, and that he had an extraordinary status and knew the secrets of the Tianyuan tribe.

Xiao Yan can only speculate like this. After all, it is not the case. Daizhou's incident and Zhao Ning's previous words cannot be explained. Xiao Yan can't think about it, Zhao Ning is a reborn person, right?

Zhao Ning knew very well that once Xiao Yan thought of this, she would focus on passing the news back.

After all, the Tianyuan tribe has not unified the grassland yet, and it is not time to launch a war with Da Qi. They have only been around for a short time and are not fully prepared.

For the long-term planning of Tianyuan Royal Court, Xiao Yan must let Tianyuan Royal Court find this so-called spy.

"Young Master Zhao is quite... quite confident in his own people. However, why should I believe that Young Master Zhao can keep your word and help me return to the royal court after catching my people?"

?" Xiao Yan's eyes were full of suspicion.

Zhao Ning glanced at Xiao Yan lightly, as if looking at an ant, full of overlooking meaning:

"Now what you have done in Daqi has been completely in vain, and your own cultivation has been abolished, and you have become a helpless person. Whether you die or not, it has no impact on the overall situation of the north and the south.

There is no impact.

"At this point, killing you or not killing you is just a matter of crushing an ant to us.

"While you are alive, Daqi can always remind yourself that you once did evil in Daqi and had ulterior motives, and the generals can use you to make trouble at any time. If you die, you will be forgotten soon, and you will be useless.

"

After saying this, ignoring Xiao Yan, whose face turned gloomy, Zhao Ning stood up, shook his sleeves, and turned around to leave.

"You only have one hour to think. After one hour, the interrogation will start again, and that will be your last chance. If it is wasted, there will be no next time."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ning's figure had already drifted away in the corridor outside the cell.

Xiao Yan sat motionless in front of the desk, her face constantly changing, sometimes painful, sometimes angry, sometimes unwilling and sometimes anxious.

After coming out of the prison, Wei Wuxian, who was waiting at the door and chatting with the jailer, immediately came over and asked, "How is it? Has this Princess Beihu submitted?"

Zhao Ning chuckled and said, "What reason does she have for refusing?"

Wei Wuxian hesitated and said, "She won't doubt that the Tianyuan Imperial Court doesn't have that so-called detailed work at all?"

"Yes or no, these are two answers. Unfortunately, Xiao Yan can't afford the gamble. So she has no choice at all." Zhao Ning got on the horse and whipped away with Wei Wuxian.

He still had something to say: Even if Xiao Yan herself did not confess, Beihu's work in various northern cities would still be caught by the generals, so her persistence would not make any sense, at least compared to the overall situation of the Tianyuan tribe.

Doesn't seem that important.

Whichever is the lesser of two evils.

Wei Wuxian didn't know what was going on in the north of the city. Zhao Ning told him and the generals that he put Xiao Yan back in order to make the Tianyuan Royal Court suspicious of this unfounded spy and to make them fearful.

This was also what Zhao Xuanji said in front of the emperor. Only in this way would Song Zhi agree to put Xiao Yan back.

If possible, Zhao Ning naturally does not want Xiao Yan to leave Daqi alive, but the power of Hu Xizuo from all sides must be pulled out, and he must use Xiao Yan's mouth to speak out, so that he must save Xiao Yan's life.

In exchange.

But this is an emotional thought. From a rational point of view, Xiao Yan must be put back, otherwise no one will tell Tianyuan Khan about the unfounded spy of Tianyuan Royal Court.

If the Tianyuan Royal Court's pursuit of spies causes everyone to be in danger among the big shots, or other chaos, that would be the best outcome.

This will be beneficial to the subsequent grassland war.

It is also in line with Zhao Ning's plan.

This is also a situation that is bound to occur. The only difference is how big this chaos will be and how long it will last.

...

Things developed just as Zhao Ning expected, and Xiao Yan finally recognized her as an expert in the cities in northern Daqi.

As the dust of the Beihu spy case settled and was finally announced in the court, the matter soon spread throughout Yanping City and even the entire Daqi, causing public opinion to boil.

Regardless of whether they were dignitaries or traffickers, anyone with a slight sense of right and wrong was scolding the Tianyuan tribe for their sinister intentions and shouting that they must send troops to destroy them.

For a long time, people were talking about this matter after dinner.

When everyone talked about excitement, some people slapped the table and pointed to the north and yelled curses, some people beat their chests and couldn't help themselves, and some people educated their young people and prepared to go to the battlefield with knives.

In the country of Da Qi, ordinary people have to work hard and endure all kinds of oppression for food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, the people of Qi have a deep sense of superiority towards the barbarians outside the country. They will never allow the barbarians to covet them.

Daqi Jiangshan.

The martial spirit of the Da Qi Dynasty, which had been dormant for a hundred years, was suddenly revived due to this case. As the backbone and backbone of the army, the general's reputation surged.

The Zhao family, Wei family, Han Shi and other general families who uncovered Beihu's secret work, including the governor's mansion and the patrolling governor's mansion, received unanimous praise and support from the common people.
