Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

The tide was over, and Mowei was simply unable to contend.

What's more, everything Yan Yu said was true. He was indeed colluding with the Chu courtiers to assassinate the Chu emperor.

Mo Wei's face was ashen, and when he saw Yan Yu standing in front of him, the hatred in his heart suddenly emerged.

Even if he dies, he still has someone to support him!

After this thought appeared in Mo Wei's mind, he exhausted all his strength and rushed towards Yan Yu.

However, as soon as he lifted his body, a sharp blade penetrated his chest from behind.

Mo Wei never saw clearly who killed him until his death.

And the person who threw the dagger had long since disappeared, and it was difficult to find him in the chaotic crowd.

Yan Yu frowned and winked at Wenxue.

After asking for advice, he immediately walked to the restaurant nearby.

However, when he rushed to the top of the restaurant, the man could no longer be seen in the chaotic crowd.

"Your Majesty, that man has escaped." Wenxue was a little worried, "It's so good, why would someone kill Mo Wei? We haven't pried out any useful information from him yet."

The State of Chu is the biggest enemy of the State of Yan. Since Mo Wei can contact the courtiers of the State of Chu, they can naturally disrupt Chu's internal affairs through this method.

However, before Mo Wei could be brought back, he was already dead.

Thinking of this, Wenxue sighed deeply in his heart.

Yan Yu's expression was condensed, with mixed emotions in his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.

After a moment, he said: "Take Xiong Yuan's head to Pei Anlin."

Wenxue looked at him in shock: "But Xiong Yuan..."

"As soon as Mo Wei died, he knew that he had no hope anymore. Even if we tried our best, we couldn't pry out any useful information from him. What's more, the person who contacted Chu State was Mo Wei, and Xiong Yuan had no effect. .”

Yan Yu's expression was too cold, and Wenxue didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he nodded quickly and agreed.

The crowd had already dispersed, and Mo Wei's body was collected.

Yan Yu was sitting in the carriage, his handsome face dark.

Questioning... is it good or bad?

He closed his eyes, but couldn't think of anything more.

Now the Yan Kingdom is on the verge of falling apart. Timid families will choose to rely on him, but those families with lofty aspirations should also take action.

Yan Yu clenched her fingers into fists, her eyes were unprecedentedly solemn.

……

Three days later, the messenger rode into the oasis, sweating profusely.

As soon as he arrived near the camp, someone jumped out and stared at him warily. Even though the messenger was wearing special clothes, it didn't make them relax their vigilance.

Only after the messenger matches the token with the secret code can he successfully enter the camp.

It's only been three days since I came, and the camp has changed drastically.

The messenger saw that there were no more tents in the camp that originally belonged to the Lei Family Army, and there were many signs of being disturbed on the ground. He immediately looked away.

As a messenger delivering news, he knew very well what was buried in the disturbed ground.

He looked straight ahead and allowed the soldiers who led him to lead him to a large tent.

"Your Highness, the messenger is here."

"Enter."

Xie Yan's deep voice came from inside. Hearing the words, the messenger immediately raised the letter hidden in his arms with both hands in front of him and walked into the camp with a half-bowed body.

"Your Highness, a letter from the north."

Upon hearing that it was from the north, the breathing of Yue Rong, Leng Yu and others in the tent became rapid.

They all knew that Pei Anlin led his troops to the north, and the news in this letter must be about the Yan Kingdom.

Leng Yu's eyes were filled with excitement: "Your Highness, this must be the news of General Pei's triumphant return!"

The messenger delivered the letter and left long ago.

There were only one of his own people left in the camp. Leng Yu made no attempt to hide it and said excitedly: "Maybe all the three cities on the border of Yan State have belonged to us!"

"Or is it the death of the new emperor of the Yan Kingdom?"

Leng Yu thought happily, and his expressionless face was filled with visible joy.

Gu Ning, who had been silent until now, snorted softly: "You think the Yan army is so easy to deal with?"

"Uncle only brought 3 people there, and the army of Yan State at the border is a full [-] to [-]. If they face head-on, they may not be able to retreat unscathed."

Gu Ning interrupted Leng Yu's beautiful thoughts and said again: "Uncle's letter must be to inquire about business."

Hearing this, Leng Yu was stunned.

He already knew that Gu Ning had a arrogant temper, and was not annoyed after being interrupted by Gu Ning. However, Gu Ning's last words shocked him.

"Group market? Do we want to negotiate with Yan State?"

"It's not just the Yan Kingdom." Gu Ning added slowly, "There are also the Xiongnu."

"If things go well, we will build dumping grounds on both borders to dump our own goods."

Leng Yu's brain stopped spinning: "What are you selling in the market? The Huns and Yan are so barren, what is there worth trading for?"

"Salt." Gu Ning said quietly, "We have inexhaustible salt along the coast of Chu State."

"Absolutely!" Leng Yu shouted eagerly, "How can you exchange salt for their things? That's salt!"

Gu Ning had expected that Leng Yu would have such an attitude, and it happened that she had already prepared a reason to persuade this kind of person, and now she can practice with Leng Yu.

"For many years, we have banned trade with the Huns and Yan, but have these bans really worked? The government does not allow private sales of salt, but there are many merchants smuggling it to these two countries, and they have made huge profits from it."

"These smuggling businessmen don't have to pay taxes. Do you know how much tax revenue we lose every year? More than 200 million taels!"

"What's more, does our ban on selling salt to them really restrict their development?" Gu Ning asked Leng Yu, "In your opinion, there was a lot of trade between the three countries when the late emperor was here. Compared with the ban on trade between the two countries now, , has their national power become stronger or weaker?”

Leng Yu opened his mouth and his brain was spinning rapidly. Over the years... the strength of the Yan Kingdom and the Xiongnu was visible to the naked eye.

He reluctantly uttered two words: "Stronger."

"Look, our ban not only failed to restrict their development, but actually made them stronger. So is this ban still useful?"

Leng Yu secretly glanced at Xie Yan and saw that Xie Yan was sipping tea and had no intention of interfering at all. He obviously acquiesced to Gu Ning's behavior.

But he was still dissatisfied: "But what if we lift the ban and make them stronger?"

"You are really stupid." Gu Ning raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "We opened a business and started trade. Not only our goods but also our culture were introduced into their country."

"When the Huns and Yan people get used to wearing the cloth and brocade we woven in the south of the Yangtze River, eating the salt produced along our coast, and using our utensils, they will learn our culture for these things. In this way, they How are they different from us Chu people?"

"At that time, we no longer have to worry about conquering the city but not winning the hearts of the people."

Leng Yu was completely silent. He looked at Gu Ning blankly, unable to believe that these words came from Gu Ning's mouth.

"you……"

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Ning asked, "Are my words wrong?"

"The best way is to let them get used to everything in our Chu country in a subtle way, and then take them down. Otherwise, what if you can take down the Xiongnu royal court? Not only will they not surrender, but they will Secretly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to counterattack."

Unlike Leng Yu who was stunned, Fang Weiming's eyes lit up like two lights after hearing Gu Ning say this.

"The princess is a talented person!" Fang Weiming stepped forward quickly and knelt down in front of Gu Ning with a "plop".

He looked up at Gu Ning, his eyes full of fanaticism: "In this way, we no longer have to worry about them rebelling!"

It took Leng Yu a while to regain his consciousness, and he whispered: "But...but it will take a lot of time to get them used to everything in our Chu country."

"His Highness and I are still young, and so are you, so why worry about the time being too long? They will be completely assimilated by us in five years at the fastest and ten years at the lowest."

Gu Ning's eyebrows were filled with confidence, and she looked around with high spirits.

Leng Yu could no longer say anything to refute, and his heart became excited. Gu Ning's words completely ignited a fire in his heart - he might actually be able to see this scene.

Fang Weiming and Leng Yu both had faces flushed with excitement.

At this time, Xie Yan's thin lips parted slightly: "What Ning'er means is what Gu means."

"Instead of using strong methods to force the people of the two countries to surrender, it is better to gradually assimilate them. In this way, the two countries can be unified without bloodshed."

Fang Weiming nodded heavily: "With His Royal Highness and the princess around, we will definitely be able to realize this great cause!"

Leng Yu knelt down and said, "Your Highness is wise! The princess is wise!"

He no longer looked down upon Gu Ning as before.

The person in front of me is not a noble lady who only cares about pleasure. She is clearly... a lucky star!

While speaking, Gu Ning slowly unfolded the letter sent from the border of Yan Kingdom.

Just as she expected, what Pei Anlin wrote in the letter was indeed about the market.

Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the last sentence, he folded the letter abruptly, avoiding Xie Yan's sight.

Xie Yan frowned, feeling that Gu Ning's actions were strange, but when he was about to probe to see, Gu Ning handed him another letter full of words.

"My uncle sent two letters. The one I have is a letter from home. This one is the official matter that my uncle wants to report to you."

After saying that, Gu Ning lifted up her skirt and strode out of the tent.

Xie Yan was about to follow, but was stopped by Fang Weiming and Leng Yu.

"Your Highness, take a quick look at what is written in the letter!"

Both of them looked excited, their minds completely absorbed by the wonderful future described by Gu Ning, and they didn't even notice the change in the expression on Xie Yan's face.

Xie Yan glanced at the two of them, feeling emotional ups and downs in his heart, but still chose to deal with the business in front of him first.

He opened the letter, read it carefully several times, and then let Fang Weiming and Leng Yu take the letter to read.

The two of them read the contents of the letter and learned that Yan Guo had agreed to set up a joint negotiation venue. They were as excited as young boys.

"Your Highness, we no longer have to worry about the Huns establishing their own empire!" Leng Yu said excitedly.

He was very emotional. When he was young, the Huns were still a vassal state of Chu. They would send envoys to pay tribute to the late emperor every year. However, as soon as the late emperor died, the Huns rebelled and took away the three border states and abolished them. The emperor was incompetent. Not only was he unable to recapture the lost city, but he was also held down and beaten by the Xiongnu in recent years. If the Xiongnu had not had so few people, Chu would have ceased to exist.

The strategy Gu Ning mentioned can completely solve this problem.

This is an overt conspiracy, and even if capable people from the other two countries see the purpose behind it, they cannot resist it.

The Huns and Yan did not produce salt at all, and all the salt they used had to be smuggled out from Chu. Now that they had the opportunity to eat salt openly and cheaply, what reason did they have to refuse?

"Yes!" Fang Weiming also sighed, "This is really a good plan! Your Highness, the princess is a talented person..."

Fang Weiming couldn't help but raise his head when he got excited.

However, Xie Yan's figure had long since disappeared.

He was stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with Leng Yu who was also stunned.

"Where did your highness go?"

"I don't know, maybe we two are too annoying?"

Fang Weiming muttered, Leng Yu smiled bitterly.

He was just too excited. Who knew His Highness would find them annoying?

Yue Rong on the side closed his eyes. He could see clearly just now that His Highness was clearly chasing the princess out.
