A cold voice came from the yurt with an unquestionable order. Su Qing saw that she would be exposed if he was searched, so she said, “Second Prince, 1 have important information regarding the First Prince.”

Hearing that Su Qing had important information about the First Prince, the Second Prince ordered someone to bring her in immediately.

The interior of the yurt was even more luxurious. Facing the door was a long case, and behind the case was a magnificent chair covered in white tiger skin. This prince seemed to like Han Chinese furniture very much. Most of the furnishings in the room were beautifully carved mahogany furniture. A red coral bonsai was exceptionally luxurious on the antique shelf on the right side of the door.

The Second Prince was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He had sharp features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. His skin was the dark red color of Tartan. He was very tall and wore a long robe made of animal skin. The collar was covered with white fur and made of a lovely white fox.

He sat behind the table with his hands pressed and looked at Su Qing with a burning gaze. His hands looked strong. He knew martial arts.

Four guards followed Su Qing, trapping her in the middle, clearly preventing her from assassinating the Second Prince.

Su Qing bowed in the manner of the Tartan Kingdom. She placed a hand on her left chest and lowered her head slightly to the Second Prince. She called out respectfully, “Second Prince.”

The Second Prince sized up Su Qing with a sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through her. Su Qing calmly let him size her up. Although she was surrounded, she did not care. She was confident that she could escape unscathed.

“Speak!”

When the Second Prince saw Su Qing’s calm appearance, the pressure he gave her did not work, so he put away his low pressure and ordered Su Qing to react.

“Yes, I heard that the First Prince was plotting to assassinate the Second Prince, so I came here to report.”

Su Qing had started to sow discord. She was very confident because the First Prince’s men had chased her to the Second Prince’s territory and did not dare to come in. The Second Prince could not wait to call her when he heard she had a report. This proved that the brothers did not get along.

There was no brotherhood between royal brothers, and the Second Prince in front of her could not submit to others. Therefore, Su Qing was betting the Second Prince would believe her words.

“You’re trying to sow discord between us brothers.” the Second Prince was still expressionless when he heard Su Qing’s words. He looked at Su Qing with a gloomy face.

“If the Second Prince doesn’t believe me, then 1 can do nothing.”

Su Qing didn’t argue and only pretended to be disappointed.

“I risked my life to report. The First Prince’s men discovered 1 had eavesdropped on their secret and chased me here.”

The Second Prince Ye Lui Da raised his eyebrows and stared at Su Qing. He saw that she was down and seemed very depressed.

He raised his hand and called over the soldier who had just discovered Su Qing. He asked him in a low voice how she had passed by. The soldier quickly reported that the First Prince’s soldiers had been chasing after Su Qing. Even now, there were still people waiting outside to capture her.

Ye Lui Da still had no expression on his face. He placed one hand on the armrest of the chair and stared at Su Qing with his dark eyes, asking,

“Tell me, how does the First Prince want to kill me?”

“The First Prince has secretly trained a group of human demons that can fight against a hundred people. The First Prince is preparing to use human demons to assassinate you.”

Su Qing wasn’t just making things up. She suspected that those human demons were related to the Eldest Prince. When the princes fought, they would plant spies around each other. They would know about the other party’s movements.

She guessed that the Second Prince knew about the existence of the Human Demon.

The Second Prince raised his eyebrows. He did not know much about the Human Demon, but he knew that the First Prince had secretly trained a group of killers. However, three guards were killed, so he believed what Su Qing said was true. Last night, there were indeed men in black who broke into his camp. Fortunately, he had gone to look for a girl last night and escaped the disaster in the yurt.

However, the Second Prince was a suspicious person. He believed it in his heart, but he did not admit it. He supported his chin with one hand and asked Su Qing lazily.

“What do you mean by a human demon?”

“Using a person who died a violent death with deep resentment to empty his internal organs and left only his heart, he will become impenetrable by swords and spears. Even those with high martial arts skills will not be his match.”

Su Qing explained everything she knew about the Human Demon. Because she was very detailed, it was almost the same as what the Second Prince knew about the assassin. The Second Prince believed her.

Su Qing had been looking into the Second Prince’s eyes. Seeing his pupils shrink and his silent gritting of teeth, he must have believed her.

Although the Second Prince believed Su Qing’s words, he did not relax his suspicion of Su Qing. He looked into her eyes and asked,

“Why are you helping me?”

“When I was young, I received the Second Prince’s kindness.”

Su Qing spoke righteously and looked at the Second Prince with gratitude. She had fooled the Second Prince.

“What’s your name?”

The Second Prince’s tone had already softened. He was no longer as aggressive as when interrogating a criminal. He looked at Su Qing and asked for his name.

“I am Ah Lu.”

Su Qing remembered that Yeluchun’s follower was All Lu, so she called herself Ah Lu.

“Alright, All Lu, from now on, you don’t have to go back on me. Someone come and reward him with a nugget of gold.”

The Second Prince didn’t want to let Su Qing go. He said she would stay by his side, but he sent someone to monitor her. He didn’t trust her very much.

However, he ordered someone to bring Su Qing a nugget of gold as a reward for informing her.

“Thank you, Second Prince.”

Su Qing’s expression was filled with gratitude and flattery. The Second Prince’s suspicion lessened a little.

“Men, take him to rest.”

Su Qing thanked him again and left with a gold nugget. The royal family was indeed wealthy. They would give gold whenever they wanted. It was worth it to come this time. Not only did she sow discord between them, but she also earned another gold nugget.

The Second Prince’s men took Su Qing to a small yurt. It looked particularly shabby compared to the Second Prince’s tall and luxurious yurt.

Su Qing went in to take a look. The yurt was even more simple and drafty. It was also cold inside.

“Rest here, and don’t wander around.”

The Tartan soldier who sent Su Qing over pointed to the inside of the yurt and said to Su Qing that two soldiers were guarding the outside, putting her under house arrest.

Su Qing entered the yurt and ordered the Tartan soldier, “I’m hungry. Bring me something to eat.”

The Tartan soldier who had sent Su Qing here frowned. He felt that this kid who had come to deliver the news was taking himself too seriously. Did he think he could rise to fame just by giving the news?

The Second Prince was very suspicious and would not put the First Prince’s people in influential positions. However, these soldiers only thought about it in their hearts and did not show it. They agreed and left.

Su Qing looked around. The yurt was surrounded by wooden planks over ten centimeters above the ground. The bed was covered with wolf skin and sheepskin. The fur on the animal skin was crushed and looked dirty. It must have been used for a long time.

Su Qing realized that this country liked to use animal skins to wear as clothes and cover their beds. No wonder they had a fishy smell on their bodies.

While Su Qing was stirring up a pool of water in Tartan, Ji Shuisheng was crossing the bridge that separated the two countries and was about to enter Tartan. After crossing the bridge, he encountered an emergency a few miles away..
