Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"So, there is still room for improvement." Even if the body was seen with one's own eyes, it was possible that it was fake, not to mention the conclusion drawn from the flag. Xu Yixing felt relieved. Now she remembered that when Lu Anyuan left, he clearly told her that he would make her wish come true when he came back.

Does this mean that everything is as he planned?

The emperor personally led the army to fight and then died on the battlefield. His body was found and a new emperor would be enthroned. He could then secretly change his name and live a new life.

"Hehehe!" Xu Yixing laughed out loud. Even with such speculation, she still couldn't believe that Lu Anyuan would give up the throne for her. Wouldn't that make him the biggest fool in the world?

"what happened?"

"Oh, it's okay. Since Yingyi is gone, you can help me keep an eye on this information. If there is any movement from our Great Xia Army, remember to tell me."

Yingba looked embarrassed and said, "Master, do you know where this place is? It's far away from Miaozhou. Even if there is any news, it will be useless by the time it gets here."

Xu Yixing was stunned. It was true. In order to communicate between the grassland and the Central Plains, they basically relied on human transmission, caravans carrying letters, or trained eagles and falcons. These three methods probably could not be achieved by himself now. It was also conceivable that Ying Ba must have spent a lot of effort to spread the news of Lu Anyuan so quickly.

"I didn't think it through. Sigh, sometimes I find myself always underestimating your abilities, but sometimes I think you are too omnipotent. It's really my fault." Xu Yixing sat down on the bed and only then did he feel hungry. "Please help me get some food."

Yingba soon returned, bringing in a plate of dried meat and a bowl of steaming butter tea. "There are few fruits and vegetables on the grassland, so you can eat these first."

"It's good to have something to eat, I'm not picky."

Yingba felt relieved to see that his master was so reasonable. They all knew that she had just given birth to a child, and such indiscriminate work would definitely cause big problems.

"By the way, master, have they told you that I found an excellent knife?" Ying Ba's eyes sparkled, and his expression was as if he had seen a mountain of gold, as if it was not Xu Yixing who wanted the knife, but it was his own.

"I mentioned it before. It's called the Eagle Flying Wolf Head Knife, right? But isn't that thing the Khan's? Are you really planning to steal it for me?"

"Oh my!" When Yingba mentioned the knife, he seemed to have endless energy. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "That is really a good knife! I saw it with my own eyes. It can directly split such a thick tripod, and those armors are simply like straw paper. It can be easily cut. Good knife, good knife!"

"How about comparing it to our Emperor's Sword?"

"Ah? It's really hard to compare..." Yingba didn't say anything unpleasant, but the Emperor's Sword was more of a symbol of status. Although it was also rare in the world, it was not as strong as the Wolf-Head Knife.

"Haha, if you like, how about I kill the Khan and then give the knife to you?"

"Great! What? Who to kill?" Yingba was originally very happy, but he hesitated after he realized it: "You asked Yingyi to find out the location of Wang Ting in order to assassinate him?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"If I had a choice, I would definitely choose to fight him single-handedly and cut him into pieces." Xu Yixing raised his thin arms and shook them twice: "But look at me, poisoning is the safest way."

Ying Ba smiled bitterly, "Master, it's not that easy to poison the Khan. The struggles in the grassland court are no less intense than those in our palace, and even more bloody and direct. If it were as easy as you say, then we in Da Xia should send ten assassins to lurk in the court and kill the successors one by one. Why would we need an army of 100,000?"

"I know. Just treat it as something I said casually." Xu Yixing did not explain much. She could not care less about that now. It was fine if Lu Anyuan faked his death and got away with it, but if he was really killed by the Hu people, she would definitely drag a few people to be buried with him!

Yingba saw that she was in a low mood, so he turned around and left the tent, not hanging around anymore. Three days passed in a flash, and Xu Yixing was almost recovered, and the high fever had subsided, but he still couldn't get any wind, so he didn't dare to step out of the tent. Yingba brought him water and food every day, like a useless person.

This day, Yingba brought in barbecue as usual, but Xu Yixing saw that his face looked very bad.

"What's wrong with you? What happened to Yingyi?"

"Ah, no." Yingba put down the plate, recalling the scene he saw early in the morning before dawn, and was full of vigilance. "This morning I heard some noise outside, so I quietly went out to take a look. It seems that there are some new people in our neighborhood. But when I went to ask again during the day, the Hu people and the residents said that they didn't see anyone coming. I just thought it was a bit strange."

"Maybe he's gone already?"

"But who comes early in the morning and leaves in the morning?"

"What do you think?"

"I smelled a strong smell of blood when I passed by several tents. Perhaps those barbarians are back again."

"Those?" Xu Yixing reacted immediately. Those people Yingba was talking about were those from the royal court who once lived here. It would be normal if they were injured, but why did they sneak back?

"Could these be the spies I was thinking of? Find a chance to investigate, but don't force it. If you think you might be discovered, retreat immediately. We should focus on safety right now, and there's no need to make trouble over these little details."

"Okay." Ying Ba nodded. He didn't need her to explain. He was going to find out the details of these people anyway. Otherwise, there were a bunch of injured and murderous people living nearby. What would happen if they became violent and slaughtered all these people?

It was not until the surrounding tents were quiet at night that Yingba went to explore the camp as planned. Xu Yixing was not in as good a mood as Yingba. With the help of the small flame, he fell on the bed in a dejected voice. In fact, the situation has been changing so strangely these days that it is hard to tell the truth from the false. Now that he is thinking so hard, it is probably difficult to recover.

She pulled out a small cloth bag from her sleeve, carefully confirmed that the things inside were still there, then she bowed three times to the candlelight and began to mutter: "Yuan, if you are really dead, please bless me to successfully find the royal court and avenge you. If you are not dead... then I will beat you to death too!"

After Xu Yixing finished speaking, he made a self-deprecating sound. If he was really fine, he would only be more annoyed that he had run away. By then, he didn't know how much effort he would have to put in explaining it, which would give him a headache.

"Master!" Yingba walked in quickly, bringing with him a gust of cold wind: "It's the Khan!"
