"I underestimated you." Ling Yue admitted generously, facing Xie Yao's raised lips calmly, "You can laugh at me. But after you laugh, please tell me what you are doing? Why are you in Fengyi these days?
There will be such loud noises and black smoke in the palace."
Xie Yao didn't expect Ling Yue to be so straightforward and calm. She put away the smile at the corner of her mouth and regained her composure, "Are you worried about that person?"
Ling Yue didn't answer, she raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yao calmly, "You know I won't say anything, so why bother asking."
"This is not an attitude of asking for help." Xie Yao glanced lightly, lowered her eyes and went to pick up the tea cup.
I have been studying cannonballs all morning and haven't even taken a few sips of water. I'm really thirsty now.
"I know you won't tell me the answer for no reason. In exchange, I can tell you some things about Nanling Country. If you only want to know about that person, I have no comment." The expression on Ling Yue's face.
Still very calm.
Xie Yao drank all the tea in the tea cup. Seeing Ling Yue so calm, she felt a little more appreciative in her heart.
Ever since she met Ling Yue, until now, the expression on Ling Yue's face has not changed much, except for the fact that she learned from Ling Yue that the man was still in Nanling Country.
"There are many things about Nanling Kingdom, how do I know if what you are talking about is of interest to me?" Xie Yao did not reject Ling Yue's proposal.
Because Ling Yue's protection for that person comes from the bottom of her heart. As Ling Yue said herself, even if she were killed, she would not reveal a single word.
However, she will not give up searching.
"I can say it first." Ling Yue spoke directly without using any tactics with Xie Yao. She had known Xie Yao and knew that Xie Yao was very smart and hated playing with her mind. If she used tactics, the situation would be very serious once Xie Yao saw through it.
serious.
"There are a total of five minerals in Nanling Country, namely..."
Xie Yao raised her hand to interrupt, "I'm not interested in the minerals in Nanling Kingdom."
"Okay." Ling Yue thought about it for a while, then she was wary and said: "Since the defeat of Nan Ling Kingdom last time, there are still some remaining troops in the country..."
"I'm not interested in your military strength either. What I'm really interested in is related to that person. I know you won't tell me his whereabouts, but tell me how many people he has taught. That's okay."
Xie Yao is also very straightforward and goes straight to the point.
Since Ling Yue was so guarded against her, she should do it directly.
It's just a little strange. I studied a cannonball myself, but I didn't see any power. Why is Ling Yue so curious?
I said before that Ling Yue was worried about that person, and she said it casually.
After all, the thing that brought Ling Yue over must be related to that person.
She said before that she would let Ling Yue find her, which was just a momentary statement. But she still had confidence, but she hadn't figured out what strategy to use yet.
"You..." Ling Yue frowned.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. The only information that interests me right now is information related to that person. Since you won't reveal the whereabouts of that person, you can only exchange it for other information. There is no other way." Xie Yao
Very straightforward rejection.
"It's just a few noises and a few wisps of black smoke. There's really nothing to be curious about."
He waved his hand casually, indicating that Ling Yue could go back.
For someone like Ling Yue, who is extremely calm and indifferent to emotions and anger, using advantage to force others is the best way!
Sure enough, Ling Yue swallowed the words of rejection when she reached her lips.
She was silent for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, I can answer your question, but I will only answer this one. You have to tell me the source of the black smoke and the noise."
"Deal." Xie Yao smiled.
I have to say that she quite likes dealing with Ling Yue like this, it doesn't use her brain or waste her time.
"I asked him how many people he has taught, which means teaching you how to make an umbrella, something that does not exist here. Ordinary teaching does not count," Xie Yao added.
"Then he has only taught two people." Ling Yue pondered for a moment and said expressionlessly.
Two people?
Xie Yao's eyes flashed, "Who else is there besides you?"
Since there is another person, it means that there is one more person who may know the whereabouts of that person.
Ling Yue shook her head and refused calmly, "No comment. I have already answered your question, and now it is your turn to answer mine. Why are there those black smoke and noises in Fengyi Palace?"
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows and glanced lightly, "I made those black smoke and noises because I was studying something."
After he finished speaking, he didn't move his eyes away, still looking at her.
"I see, farewell." Ling Yue saluted, turned around and left without saying another word.
Xie Yao looked at Ling Yue's retreating back with some surprise, a hint of interest in her eyes.
She originally thought that Ling Yue was so worried that what she was researching would threaten that person, that he would definitely ask her what she was researching, and then she could take the opportunity to ask who the other person besides Ling Yue was.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yue had no intention of asking and just left.
interesting.
Although there is such an additional clue, it is almost as if there is nothing, because we only know that there is one more person, and the rest are unknown.
Xie Yao pondered for a moment, then shook her head and concentrated on studying her cannonballs.
In fact, for Ling Yue, she could try to use poison or poison to make her speak.
But there is no 100% certainty, because that person occupies a very important position in Ling Yue's heart. Once it fails, Ling Yue has no possibility of recovery, and this clue is completely lost.
Therefore, she would not use such extreme measures for the time being unless absolutely necessary.
After lunch, Xie Yao went to study the cannonballs again.
All countries already have Ksitigarbha lotus and have begun to use it. A war may break out at any time.
She will not let this bloody storm blow to the territory of Wanqi Kingdom!
In the afternoon, puffs of black smoke rose again from Fengyi Palace, and bursts of noise were heard.
It was like this for several days.
Xie Yao spent almost the whole day in that courtyard, never leaving the front door, and even Ling Yue never looked for it again.
Chu Han would also come to accompany Xie Yao when he had time, but he would sit farther away.
A brief period of calm reappeared, but it was quickly broken.
The Nanzhao Kingdom finally couldn't help but send troops to attack the Wanqi Kingdom. In less than three days, they captured three cities in a row. It can be said that the momentum is overwhelming and unstoppable!
Chu Han immediately issued an order and sent Xie Wenwu to lead his troops to intercept.
Xie Yao originally thought that even if Xie Wenwu could not defeat the Nanzhao Kingdom immediately, he could still stop the Nanzhao Kingdom and then gradually defeat it.
In fact, Xie Wenwu only won a small victory when he attacked head-on, and then was beaten back by Nanzhao soldiers!
At the same time, Dongao Kingdom also sent troops to attack Wanqi Kingdom.
