Hu Yanwen was stunned: "Not Wu Zixu? Then who is he?"

"He's from the Chu State." Yuwen Tuo gritted his teeth and said, "He's a spy from the Chu State! Ever since Wu Zixu went to Jiangnan, the Chu State, they have been secretly recruiting the real Wu Zixu!"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Yanwen was frightened and took a few steps back.

"In this world...there is such a profound method of disguise?"

Yuwen Tuo didn't want to believe it, but the scene he saw just now couldn't be faked. It was on the stone, and there was the mask Wu Zixu threw down casually.

"That's the mask he threw away." Yuwen Tuo pointed to the mask as thin as a cicada's wings and said word by word, "I watched with my own eyes as he took off the mask and turned into a different person."

Hu Yanwen took a deep breath, unable to believe what he heard.

Seeing the mask on the stone, he quickly reached out his hand and looked at the mask carefully.

"Just rely on it?"

"Grandpa, what are the benefits of lying to you?" Yuwen Tuo gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go to Wu's house and have a look! See if Wu Zixu is still there!"

After a moment, Hu Yanwen closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows in pain: "Wu Zixu is from Chu? So the turmoil in the royal court these days... isn't it all under his control?"

Yuwen Tuo didn't answer, but the answer was already obvious.

Hu Yanwen took a deep breath and managed to calm down.

What came to his mind at this moment was another thing.

"The doctor who treats the high priest." Hu Yanwen stared closely at Yuwen Tuo, "What is his identity?"

After the dust settled on these matters, Hu Yanwen suddenly thought of something he had ignored. When Yuwen Tuo and Hu Yanliang came back from Chu for the first time, he remembered that Hu Yanliang had said that Yuwen Tuo fell in love with a Chu country. Princess of the country.

It's a pity that the princess already has a fiancé, and the identity of the princess is Princess Changning of the Pei family!Her fiancé is Xie Yan!That was the later crown prince of Chu!

Immediately afterwards, Hu Yanwen thought of Mr. Xie whom he had met in Manxiang Tower.

At that time, he also felt that Mr. Xie had a good temperament, and he was full of noble qualities. He did not look like a businessman, but more like a relative of the emperor.

Hu Yanwen thought of this and walked out with a ferocious expression.

There was only one thought in his mind at the moment, and that was to save Xie Yan's life!

What business, salt, and tea were all forgotten by him!If only I could save the life of the future emperor of Chu!Then aren't they the Huns...

Seeing Hu Yanwen striding out, Yuwen Tuo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood his intention and said sternly: "Grandpa!"

"Don't forget! My uncle is still in their hands!"

Yuwen Tuo's words stunned Hu Yanwen.

Before Hu Yanwen could speak, Yu Wentuo walked up to him eagerly and said word by word: "Grandpa, my uncle and I worked hard and finally came back! We don't want to cause any more trouble!"

"So what if you kill him? The [-] troops stationed by the Chu State at the border will only have their morale greatly increased by this move. Even if they risk their lives, they will avenge him!"

"By then, can we Huns still exist in this world?"

"Don't be impulsive!"

At this moment, Yuwen Tuo seemed more mature than Hu Yanwen.

At this time, the high priest also came over. He was at the side and saw the dispute between the two clearly. He also learned the true identities of Xie Yan and Gu Ning during the dispute between the two.

"What the Khan said is absolutely true," the high priest said, "Master Huyan, can you kill one person and thousands of Chu people?"

"We only have 3 troops at full strength. Compared with the Chu State's [-] troops and their continuous support, we are like ants that can be easily crushed to death by them."

The words of the high priest made Hu Yanwen grit his teeth tightly, and Hu Yanwen's eyes became extremely ferocious.

"Is that so?"

"Not only must we pretend that this matter did not happen," the high priest said earnestly, "We must also escort him all the way back to Chu! We must not let any accidents happen to him!"

Hu Yanwen felt extremely aggrieved. His face was distorted for a while, and it took a while before he returned to his original expression.

His face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know."

The high priest saw that although his face was ugly, he did not look angry when he spoke, so he winked at Yuwen Tuo, and Yuwen Tuo felt relieved.

"Grandpa, don't worry." Yuwen Tuo stepped forward and helped Hu Yanwen out, "I will definitely defend the Xiongnu! I will never let outsiders invade again!"

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Hu Yan sighed quietly: "I understand your worries, Khan. Don't worry, I will never do anything to him."

"As for other matters..." He shook his head, "It's all up to Khan to handle."

"I'm a little tired." Hu Yanwen was full of anger, but had nowhere to vent, so he could only say stiffly, "If something happens to Khan, you might as well discuss it with the high priest or General Duan."

After saying that, he shook off Yuwen Tuo's hand and walked out in stride.

Seeing this, Yuwen Tuo smiled bitterly.

Seeing the high priest who was also helpless, he asked uneasily: "High priest, did I do something wrong?"

"Khan is right." The high priest shook his head, "You are the leader of a country, and every move you make is related to the future of the Huns!"

"Don't act rashly!" the high priest comforted, "You can't say what will happen in the future."

"Thank you, high priest." Yuwen Tuo cupped his hands towards the high priest and looked at Hu Yanwen's leaving figure with a serious expression.

In just a few dozen days, Yuwen Tuo seemed to have changed into a different person. At this moment, he vaguely overlapped with the figure of the old Khan who was decisive and killing.

The high priest suppressed the sourness in his heart and also stared at Yuwen Tuo's back.

……

At this time, Manxiang Tower was already empty.

Gu Ning was riding on a horse, surrounded by endless prairie.

She felt the wind on the grassland, and her eyes were full of joy: "Are we going back?"

"The matter is done." Xie Yan kept pace with her, his eyes always locked on Gu Ning, "If you don't leave, I'm afraid Hu Yanwen will find out your true identity."

A person like Hu Yanwen who was dedicated to serving his country would most likely bring someone to assassinate them after knowing their true identity.

Gu Ning understood Xie Yan's concerns and nodded: "Now is indeed a good time for us to leave, but... what about Wu Zixu?"

"He is the spy you planted in the Huns, and his identity is known to Yuwen Tuo. If he does not leave, I am afraid his life will be in danger."

Since he was Xie Yan's friend, he was also her friend. How could she watch her friend in danger?

However, after hearing Gu Ning's worried words, Xie Yan chuckled. His smile was very faint, and his voice quickly disappeared in the wind, but Gu Ning still heard it.

"Why are you laughing?" Gu Ning stared at him angrily, "Am I still wrong?"

"He is in our team at the moment." Xie Yan explained, "It's just that his disguise technique is very powerful. Even I often can't tell him apart."

Gu Ning was startled. Before she could speak, she heard a guard beside her laugh: "Princess, please don't listen to His Highness."

"Although my disguise technique is powerful, I can't escape his eyes." The guard shook his head and mentioned this with a gritted teeth. "Whenever I meet him, my disguise technique passed down from my family It seems like a useless thing.”

Gu Ning subconsciously leaned closer to Xie Yan and stared at the guard who was speaking.

However, no matter how she looked, she could not see any trace of disguise on his face.

"System, is he disguised?"

Gu Ning used his secret weapon.

The system was helpless: "It's after the disguise."

Gu Ning narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the guard's face.

The guard smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand, and ripped off the mask from his face.

This was a handsome and unruly face, and a look of surprise flashed in Gu Ning's eyes.

Xie Yan was very sensitive, so he rode on horseback to block Gu Ning's view of the guard.

"Lu Yu, put your face back on." Xie Yan said coldly.

Hearing this, Lu Yu clicked her tongue and said, "Your Highness, this is not like you."

"You won't be jealous just because the princess looks at me a few more times, right?" Lu Yuyi pointed out, "The princess just loves beauty."

The more Lu Yu spoke, the colder Xie Yan's handsome face became.

Jealousy boiled in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he had to use a cold expression to cover up his inner displeasure.

He even held Gu Ning's hand.

Gu Ning coughed lightly: "Mr. Lu, what you said is completely wrong."

"I've never seen you before, so I took a few more glances at you." Gu Ning said seriously, "In terms of appearance, you are far worse than His Highness."

Just a simple sentence, and the expression on Xie Yan's face became warmer to the naked eye.

When Lu Yu saw this, he was stunned.

Where is the thank you banquet he has seen?

Xie Yan was usually the most aloof, not even giving him an extra glance, and he hated those who praised his appearance.

However, such a simple compliment from Gu Ning was still the compliment he hated most about his appearance. Not only did he accept it happily, but he also looked in a good mood?

This... Lu Yu was shocked. She looked at Gu Ning with more and more admiration. She even stretched out her hand and cupped it towards Gu Ning: "Princess, it's better to see once than to hear a hundred times."

"I didn't expect that there was really someone in this world who could treat him docilely." Lu Yu's face was full of admiration.

Xie Yan glanced at him with cold eyes: "Be careful with your words and actions."

Lu Yu immediately shut his mouth and quickly rode to other places, leaving enough space for the two of them.

Gu Ning looked at Xie Yan's very presence and asked calmly: "Your Highness, don't you like it when I praise you?"

When she spoke, there seemed to be tears of grievance hidden in her beautiful eyes, as if she was about to shed tears if Xie Yan said no.

Xie Yan's heart immediately softened.
