After a while, a figure emerged from the open window on the top floor of the inn.

The movement was not very light, but it was quick and neat. Yishaguli stepped on the eaves and slowly descended, finally jumping outside the courtyard wall, staggering twice to stand firm.

She looked at the inn across the street, lights flickering in the windows.

"Isha!" someone shouted in a low voice.

Yishaguli turned around and Qiqigehas smiled at her.

"I saw you on the rooftop during the day, but I didn't recognize you." Qiqi Gehas said, "Let's go, Avagu and the others are waiting for you."

Yishaguli nodded vigorously, unable to say anything, and the two ran to the inn across the street. They entered the yard, crossed the stable, and entered the house through the back door of the inn's small building.

This was a small room, like a place for banquets with a small table. Shi San, Meng En and Wu Ye were all sitting at the table, while Wu Yue was leaning against the door, paying attention to the movements outside.

"Awagu!" Yishaguli's voice choked up when she saw Shi San. Seeing this, Qiqige arranged for her to sit next to Shi San; Meng En quickly poured a cup of hot tea from the table and handed it to her.

"It's me." Shi San answered in Xihu dialect, "What happened? Why did you become a princess?"

"Zuo Wang is dead, and I am the only one among his subordinates. Of course I was nominated as the 'Princess'." Yishaguli said sarcastically, "My parents sacrificed their lives for Zuo Wang's faction, and they turned their faces like this!"

"Where is your brother?" Qi Qige asked.

"They are in their hands." Yishaguli said, "You came to Liangzhou to save me?"

She stared at Shi San closely.

Shi San said: "No."

"Oh." Meng En interrupted quickly: "We came to Liangzhou following clues. We heard that Xidi was going to send a princess to marry, but we didn't expect it to be you."

Yishaguli covered her face for a moment and calmed herself down.

"I see." She had calmed down completely: "What are you going to do?"

"Originally, we just wanted to see if there were any... opportunities on the periphery." Meng En did not immediately say that they were going to deal with the Su family, but vaguely said: "Since you are the core figure of the delegation, then things may be much easier."

"I don't want to marry." Yishaguli said, "But my brother is in their hands, so... if you want my help, you must rescue him first."

Her eyes had already swept over Wu Ye and Wu Yue, who looked like Han Chinese in the room, and she had some vague guesses in her mind.

Avagu...

She looked at Shi San with a slightly complicated expression.

Qi Qige was not surprised by her request, so he subconsciously looked at Shi San.

Shi San lowered his eyes and did not express his opinion immediately. Yishaguli looked at him, a little disappointed, but did not say anything.

Wuye happened to speak for him: "Miss Yishaguli, since you are a Xidi, how come you are familiar with...Awagu and others?"

"We are not that familiar with each other," Yishaguli said. "I am not from Xidi either. My parents and I were war slaves from Huihe. Later, we served the Left King and made meritorious contributions, so we were exempted from the status of slaves. More than a decade ago, there were frictions between Xidi and Xihu. As children of our respective generals, we had a good time on the grasslands on the border."

Meng En looked a little strange when he thought about the past.

The children were influenced by their parents and naturally had no good face towards people from the enemy countries. At that time, the Xidi children team led by Yishaguli and the Xihu children team led by Awagu used sticks as weapons and horses to "fight" back and forth on the grassland.

It was just a play between children, and since Sidisihu were a family, no adult wanted to harm them.

"Once, I have forgotten the specific reason." Meng En is happy to tell stories, "Anyway, Awagu and I were captured by the Xidi people, and it was Yishaguli who brought people to rescue us."

"It wasn't the Xidi people who did it!" Yishaguli said angrily.

Meng En looked unconvinced.

Qiqi Gehaas said: "The situation at that time was indeed not so serious that children were needed as hostages. Meng'en, maybe they really didn't do it."

"Who knows..." Meng En muttered.

Yishaguli said: "Anyway, since then, we have been... friends for a while."

Of course, this friendship ended when the seasons changed and both groups left the grassland.

Wuye seemed very interested, but he was thinking, is this kind of relationship solid? He could see the meaning of Shi San's expression. After all, it was not more than a decade ago. The relationship between Xidi and Xihu had changed again and again, and it was a turbulent time for Beiqin. No one knew how much sincerity was still there.

They have grown up after all.

Yishaguli looked at Awagu and the people around him, Meng'en and Qiqigehas, and felt disappointed. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he was not a Western Di from the beginning. How could a war slave of the Huihe be accepted by others?

Just like now, the only person who can help her is Xihu’s childhood friend.

"Where is your parents' army?" Shi San asked.

"It has been divided up by everyone." Yishaguli lowered her eyes and said, "All the deputies were killed. The remaining ones are just scattered sand. In order to survive, they will not resist me."

Shi San looked at Wuye and nodded slightly.

Wuye said, "Since the girl doesn't want to marry, then our goals are exactly the same."

Yishaguli looked at him and said, "I heard that the Emperor of Northern Qin is dying, but the Crown Prince is still in good health. Even if the Emperor dies, he can immediately take the throne. Could it be that you are the Crown Prince's men?"

"We are not the prince's people, but we can prevent them from marrying the princess of Xidi." Wuye said, "Miss, I cannot disclose the details, but I can guarantee that you will not have to be a concubine in the palace."

"Although my Chinese is not good, I can understand what you mean." Yishaguli said, "I don't have to be a concubine, but there is no guarantee that I won't have to do it from beginning to end. You want me to enter the palace and assassinate the emperor? I won't do it."

Wu Ye choked.

This man is really sharp! He didn't look embarrassed at all. "The girl is very smart... but she guessed wrong. We won't hand over such a big matter as assassinating the king to someone we just met. This is not your responsibility."

"You don't need to do it with your hands, you need to use your brain." Yishaguli finally smiled: "I'm not bragging, I have some brains."

……

Gu Yue rode Xiaobai and walked slowly on the official road to Luoyang.

He felt a sense of timidity, and the further he went, the more afraid he felt. He regretted telling the truth in the letter he left for Gu Xu. If he had known that he could be resurrected, he would have directly admitted that he was a fox spirit. Now he gave up his thousand-year cultivation and transformed into a human form to come to him...
