C244 Battle Dance

Helian Yu also understood the reason why Helian Peng wanted to follow him here. Helian Yu knew that his sister had been thinking about Xiaoyi Xiu ever since they met on the battlefield five years ago. After pondering for a while, he felt that if he couldn't defeat such a formidable opponent, then winning him over would be another way. If the Northern Chu and the East China Sea were to be married, not only would it be beneficial to maintain peace between the two countries, but he would also have more channels to know each other.

This time, he met Xiao Yixiu in the Eastern Abyss as expected. Unlike the two siblings, he already had a main wife, and the alliance between the two clans had been ruined. However, Helian Peng obviously didn't think that way. The people whom she couldn't forget in her heart, even if they married someone else, they would still try to take them back.

Helian Yu wanted to reprimand her for being ignorant and rude, but on second thought, he thought that this was actually a good opportunity. If he could cause discord between Xiao Yixiu and his wife and force him to leave his wife, wouldn't that be the biggest benefit?

He furrowed his brows in thought for a moment and said: "You have no proof in this matter, so if you want to argue with her that there's no reason, it would instead lead to your intrusion into the Prince's mansion, making people look down upon you for no reason. You should first be patient, and think of a way when you get the chance. "

Although Helian Peng felt that his reply dissatisfied with him, in the end, it sounded like it was biased towards him. He sniffled to ease his mood and asked, "Big brother Crown Prince, what plans do you have?"

Helian Yu said coldly, "Didn't you say to wait for an opportunity to make a move? I know what you are thinking, so I shall entrust you with your wish. "

Helian Peng was delighted. He didn't care about his cold attitude and held his hand in a coquettish manner, "Big Brother Crown Prince dotes on me the most. I must make that woman become Princess Mo!"

Helian Yu couldn't bear to see her acting like a spoiled child. He drew back his hand and closed his eyes, saying, "I understand. You can go. Let me think of a way."

After this vexed little sister left, Helian Yu immediately opened his eyes and ordered some people to come over. He went to the capital to inquire about the places that officials and nobles, as well as the places that members of the imperial family often visited.

He needed to know the political structure and personnel relations of the Empire of Dongyuan. Knowing himself and knowing his enemy, he had never fought a battle without confidence. If he hadn't underestimated Xiao Yixiu's youth that year, he wouldn't have made such a short-sighted mistake. Until now, he had kept the battle in mind and believed that if he hadn't underestimated his opponent, he wouldn't have lost.

Within the Mo King's Manor, Xiao Yi was hugging Gu Qing Li as he listened to her talk about how she would tease Helian Xianzi and how she would do anything to stop Helian Hua from dying. He couldn't help but laugh as he stroked her hair and said, "I knew you wouldn't let her off so easily.

Gu Qingli smiled craftily. "I made her take off her clothes and drew a turtle on her back. Did she dare to take it off for others to see?" As long as it was washed away, there would be no proof at all. With this kind of matter, even if she, a young mistress who has yet to leave the pavilion, were to speak of it in front of others! "

Xiao Yi Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, when he thought of Helian Yu, his smile faded a little. This person who had suddenly appeared in the Eastern Abyss was definitely not here for the sake of peace between the two countries … When the peace between Dongyuan and the Northern Chu was reached after many years of serious injury and sickness, the dispatch of a mission to Dongyuan was bound to raise suspicions.

The peace treaty was signed by the Northern Chu Emperor after consultation with the officials of the imperial court, but Helian Yu did not participate in it. As the successor of the country, the future Northern Chu Emperor, Helian Yu's intentions were actually very important. This was a contract that excluded his consent. If he wanted to overturn it one day …

Seeing that his expression had turned serious, Gu Qing Li asked a few questions before revealing his worries. He then shook his head: "Unlike me, Helian Yu is not only good at fighting, but also a person who loves fighting. Even though I have been fighting since I was a teenager, I have never taken the initiative to invade other countries in order to subdue the enemies of the border and suppress the rebels. However, he was definitely someone who would casually start a battle just for the sake of weighing the benefits. Back then, he was the one who started the war between Dongyuan and Northern Chu. "

"However, we have already signed the peace treaty, can he still refute his father's decision?"

"It's hard to say." Xiao Yi Xiu shook his head.

This person was insufferably arrogant. To be defeated by him was a great humiliation, and it was likely that he would not be willing to calm down at this point. Coming to the East Abyss, a peaceful envoy was probably a fake. It was the real thing that was investigating him.

Thinking about how Dongyuan's imperial government was now as calm as a mirror, with waves surging in the dark, the struggle for the throne falling apart, the dictatorship of the emperor, and the chaos in the imperial harem, Xiao Yixiu couldn't help but sigh. If Helian Yu were to find out about this and cause trouble in the East Abyss, he would have to be on his guard.

"In that case, you should keep an eye on him. He shouldn't always be alone." Gu Qingli thought for a moment. He seemed to be interested in her. Perhaps this was an opportunity to get close to her.

"Since he invited me to introduce him to the capital, how about …"

"No." Xiao Yixiu's face darkened. "He's ruthless and merciless. I can't be at ease with him."

Gu Qingli carefully sized him up and then smiled. "What are you worried about?"

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled as he pinched her cheek. "I'm worried about you being with other men."

As the two joked around, they soon forgot about the Helian siblings.

The Crown Prince of Northern Chu was personally sent as an envoy, and the palace had a banquet to entertain him. However, due to Helian Lie's swollen face, the banquet was delayed for three days.

The banquet was not inferior to the banquet that Princess Lan Xun had last time. What was surprising was that the Northern Chu had also produced an entertainment show, where the Northern Chu's Princess Helian Shuang and his daughter were both performing a dance.

This princess, even when attending a royal banquet, was not as gorgeous as the ordinary imperial women, but was dressed in military attire, with her black hair flowing in the wind. She wore a light helmet, soft leather armor, and held a heavy sword embedded with gems in her hands, looking valiant and imposing, causing the face of the previously unmarried King Yan, who had married Princess Lan Xun and Princess Bei Chu, to change slightly.

The Northern Chu's dance was filled with the colors of the battlefield. Rather than calling it a dance, it would be more accurate to call it a small military exercise. It was a simple array formation on the battlefield, and the Northern Chu's female guard was shaking her silver spear to the point that it was splattering everywhere.

As he continued to look, Helian Xiuzhu's eyes were filled with a baleful look as she brandished her sword. Although the words of the princes weren't enough, they could feel the enmity that was pouncing towards her.

Even the emperor was a little grim. In his heart, he had already cut off all thoughts of marriage with the Northern Chu. In his heart, he thought that not to mention marrying back to Dongyuan, just this body's baleful aura made people feel that this pair of brother and sister had come with ill intentions.

At the end of the dance, Helian Lie arrogantly lifted his head and returned to his seat. He looked down at everyone and smiled at Xiao Yi Xiu.

Separated by countless pairs of burning eyes, Helian Xianzi's unrestrained actions had attracted everyone's attention.

Xiao Yixiu, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face the entire time. He nodded slightly towards her, neither disrespectful nor showing any particular enthusiasm. Even Gu Qingli, who was standing next to him, gave a meaningful smile back at Helian Peng, causing her expression to change.

The emperor calmly observed them and said in a lukewarm voice, "Prince Helian and the princess came to Dongyuan City as guests and treated them as distinguished guests. They stayed at the Chengyang Inn, and if there were any inconvenience, you can ask for them. "Prince Mo is treating our guests with all his might …"
