Ug was on guard against them.

Gu Yue's expression did not change, as he was secretly thinking about how to make the Right King understand their intentions under Wu Ge's surveillance.

He said: "I can't guarantee that I can persuade them successfully in one go."

"That's not a problem." Wu Ge waved his hand, "I don't know what plans you and Baktu have, I just want the seal of the Right King!"

"There is no time to lose, let's go see the Right King now." Gu Yue didn't say much, as saying more would mean more flaws.

Wu Ge nodded, walked to the door of the big tent, and stopped his gaze on Gu Yue: "Who of you will go to negotiate with him? You?"

Gu Yue was about to answer when Gu Xu grabbed his arm.

"I'll go." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue glanced at him and did not object.

Wu Ge laughed and said, "Boy, you look like you can fight. I won't take the risk."

Gu Xu frowned: "What does this mean?"

"What I mean is that only he can go." Wu Ge pointed at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue felt upset. Was it so obvious that he was a rookie?

"That's not what you just said." Gu Yue frowned.

He believed that since Gu Xu had spoken, he must have a bargaining chip to persuade the Right King. As for himself... he could only talk and had no confidence.

"I've changed my mind now," said Ug. "You look very suspicious. I won't take any risks."

Gu Yue grabbed Gu Xu's arm and squeezed it soothingly.

He said, "I will go, you lead the way."

Wu Ge smiled with satisfaction and said, "Please."

……

After leaving the tent, Uge led him to the lake in the center of the camp.

Gu Yue looked around. The troops stationed here were almost half of Ganjin's army. The fences were high and surrounded by layers, making it extremely difficult to break through by force.

Wu Ge's face was serious, and he didn't say anything to Gu Yue along the way. Gu Yue was happy that he didn't have to deal with his temptations, and he kept simulating in his mind what method he could use to remind the Right King without making any noise.

After passing through four tightly guarded checkpoints, Gu Yue followed Wu Ge to the lake.

In the open space by the lake surrounded by the camp, three or four wooden houses stood out of place.

Uge took him to the largest house close to the lake and pushed the door open.

Gu Yue followed in.

The decoration inside the room was simple, with all the common furniture in Xidi. However, there was a sheepskin screen in the middle, and there were two tall and strong Xidi maids in the front room. When Wu Ge entered the door, they nodded and retreated, their eyes curiously passing over Gu Yue.

After entering the compartment at the back, Gu Yue stopped for a moment.

The back wall of the room is open, forming a viewing platform that extends all the way to the lake.

The sky was azure blue, reflecting the vast mirror-like lake. The boundary between the water and the sky was blurred, turning into a huge sapphire with two or three clusters of thick white mica floating on it.

You Wang sat cross-legged on the wooden platform with a fishing rod in front of him and the fishing line hanging straight into the water.

The autumn was not cold, but the man was wearing a sheepskin coat similar to a Tibetan robe, with one arm exposed, on which was a circular tattoo of unknown meaning.

Wu Ge said: "Your Majesty, someone is visiting."

The Right King did not respond.

Wu Ge's expression didn't change at all. He turned to Gu Yue and winked.

Gu Yue: I don’t understand.

But he had a mission to accomplish, so he said, "Your Excellency? I am a traveling merchant from Northern Qin, and I have something to discuss with you."

Wu Ge stood aside quietly, motionless.

The Right King remained silent, and Gu Yue did not repeat himself. He looked around, found a chair, moved it over to him, and sat down calmly.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Ug:?

Gu Yue thought to himself, I have seen a lot of people like this in novels. Those pretentious characters don’t like to talk to others.

He watched You Wang fishing seriously.

A float made of feathers and raw fish maw floated on the water, and the fishing rod was a kind of bamboo that seemed to be carefully made and very smooth.

Wu Ge frowned tightly, not understanding what these two people were doing.

Gu Yue thought, just stand there, let me see if you are smart.

Wu Gezhen just stood there without moving.

He questioned Gu Yue with his eyes, but Gu Yue spread his hands and shrugged, using his expression and actions to show that he had no solution.

Wu Ge said: "Your Majesty."

The Right King finally took action. He raised a finger and signaled Wu Ge to shut up.

Gu Yue guessed blindly, is this guy going to catch a fish, and then use it to highlight his personality of being as calm as a chrysanthemum despite being imprisoned?

Hey! You Wang shook his wrist and really caught a fish!

A fish was twisting and being lifted out of the water, its scales glowing silvery white, it was really beautiful.

The Right King reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

He finally said, "Come forward."

He spoke fluent Chinese, without any Xidi accent, and his voice was extremely youthful.

Gu Yue guessed that he couldn't possibly want Wu Ge to go forward, so he moved a chair and went to the observation deck.

The Right King held the fish in his hand and asked, "What is it?"

"Baktu sent me here to persuade the king to consider Xidi." Gu Yue said.

"Baktu... Ganjin tribe has indeed rebelled." The Right King said in a low voice.

He put the fish back into the water.

"Are you here to persuade me to hand over the seal?" He turned his head.

This man had a braid on each side of his cheek, decorated with bright colors, his collarbone was distinct, and his half-open clothes revealed half of his chest muscles, which were covered with scars. It seemed that he was once a warrior.

Wu Ge said first: "Your Majesty, please consider King Zuo's request."

The Right King raised his hand impatiently and pointed at Gu Yue: "You say."

Gu Yue said, "Baktu's meaning is that Ganzhou is in chaos now, and the Northern Qin prince is cowardly and incompetent. If we take advantage of the situation and gather the strength of the entire Western Di country, we may be able to take over Ganzhou."

The Right King sneered.

"Who came up with this stupid idea, Baktu or you?" He turned to look at Wu Ge, his eyes were actually light golden: "Or you?"

Wu Ge frowned and looked at Gu Yue.

"I'm afraid your Majesty is not very clear about the current situation." Gu Yue said.

"I have been recuperating here for several months, so naturally I don't know anything." The right king's eyelashes drooped.

"The Left King and Ganzhou's chief general Mu You colluded with each other to harm the Northern Qin prince in the battle, but unfortunately he escaped." Gu Yue stared at the Right King's eyes, "At the same time, he cooperated with the Hu merchant Yin Shun to steal the gold mines in Northern Qin and raise private soldiers, intending to rebel."

The Right King looked disdainful: "Is he that powerful?"

Wu Ge said again: "Your Majesty, given the current situation, the Left King will definitely succeed. It is a good idea to hand over the seal to help Xidi succeed."

They speak Chinese really well, Gu Yue thought.

"Uger, you and I know this very well. If you hand over the seal, I will die." The Right King said calmly, "Co-rule the Western Di? The Left King's ambition to unify the country has been there for a long time. Will he cooperate with me, a Han woman?"

Gu Yue understood.

The Left King did not simply imprison the Right King, but wanted him to hand over power and then kill him. I guess he had tried everything from sweet words to threats these days, except for torture.

Why wasn't the Right King punished?
