The Cannon Fodder and Villain's Happy Ending

Chapter 297

Yelu Luan couldn’t care less about these things anymore, with erratic breathing, he asked again to confirm, “You say it again!”

A vassal from Northern Yan secretly sends a message to the capital of Daqi to facilitate the transmission of news to and from the city, from which Yi Xin had just arrived.

“Second prince, I just got the urgent news and went to one of Yan’s establishments. This is the news I just got!” Yi Xin hurriedly said while sweating profusely, “There is no mistake. The person in charge of the army is Yu Fuyun.”

They have been in a confrontation with the Yu family for years. Once in Northern Yan, they almost turned pale when talking about the word “Yu”, they could wrong anyone but absolutely not Yu Fuyun!

Yelu Luan murmured, “But Yu Fuyun… isn’t he sick? Isn’t he still in the capital?”

Speaking of this, his eyes were slightly frozen, and he suddenly remembered that he had not seen Yu Fuyun for a long time.

Previously, for the sake of peace talks between the two countries, Yu Fuyun also followed Gu Zezhi from time to time. Later, after Gu Jing, the second prince of Daqi, took over the peace talks, let alone Yu Fuyun even Gu Zezhi rarely appeared, that’s why he never noticed that Yu Fuyun was not in the capital!

Yu Fuyun secretly went to Northern Xinjiang!

“Despicable!”

Yelu Luan gritted his teeth and with great difficulty, he manages to squeeze out a word between his teeth as he asked Yi Xin, “When did it happen?”

Yi Xin immediately replied, “Just yesterday, the flying pigeon just arrived.”

“Useless things, Yu Fuyun already took three cities!” Yelu Luan picked up the wine jug on the table and hurled it on the ground. “Daqi is despicable, they were negotiating peace with us here but in fact sneakily attack our Dayan.”

“I’m going to see Emperor of Daqi, and I have to ask him to give my Dayan an explanation!”

“Does Daqi want to fight, or does he want to make peace!”

Yelu Luan’s words became even heavier as his anger steadily raising.

So, the two Northern Yan envoys rushed into the palace with Yelu Luan to the emperor’s imperial study but the emperor didn’t see them and had the head eunuch in the imperial study turn them away.

Yelu Luan was unwilling to go back like this, so he waited and waited outside the imperial study for more than an hour before he was able to enter the room.

In the imperial study, besides the emperor, Gu Zezhi was also there as well as Gu Jing, the two were sitting by the window.

Gu Zezhi elegantly and calmly sipping his tea and did not even glance at Yelu Luan, while Gu Jing was a little surprised to see him.

Without waiting for Yelu Luan to salute, the emperor asked indifferently, “What is Prince Yelu’s urgent request that you are so anxious to see me about?”

Yelu Luan looked more irascible and asked in a sharp voice, “Emperor of Daqi, why did you send troops to attack my Dayan in spite of the peace talks between the two countries?!”

“Daqi must return the three cities of Beimeng City, Tuli City, and Lunta City to Dayan and punish Yu Fuyun.”

Yelu Luan said angrily, his complexion ashen.

The emperor also just received the military report of the northern border and seeing Yelu Luan’s distraught look he felt very happy that he had a hard time suppressing his smile.

Gu Jing: “!”

The emperor looked at Gu Zezhi on the side and asked indifferently, “Zezhi, you are in charge of the peace talks between the two countries. Tell me, what is going on?”

Immediately, all the people’s eyes turned to Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi was calm, relax and with his always smiling face he looked at Yelu Luan who was a few steps away, and asked rhetorically, “What about the six hundred Turkic horses infected with horse plague that Prince Yelu gave to my Daqi?”

“…”

“…..”

“…”

So, everyone’s eyes turned to Yelu Luan again.

Yelu Luan: “!”

How did Gu Zezhi know?!

After all, was said and done, it doesn’t erase the fact that Yelu Luan was still young and at this moment he couldn’t hide the shock on his expression at all as his thoughts were racing: in other words, their plan was seen through Gu Zezhi, and the plan failed.

Gu Zezhi and Yelu Luan look at each other, neither of them raising their eyebrow. Gu Zezhi broke the silence, and asked, “Prince Yelu, not reciprocating is against etiquette, I and Daqi is a country of etiquette, and this great gift from Prince Yelu, we will naturally give it back.”

Yelu Luan: “!!”

His face seemed to have been splashed with ink, and even looked a bit unsightly.

He thought of Yu Fuyun… Northern Yan army and Yu Fuyun can be considered “old acquaintances”, Yu Fuyun this person was used to using trickery, even if there was no chance on the battlefield, he would create an opportunity, let alone now that Northern Yan has such a big flaw!

Yu Fuyun would not let go!

Gu Zezhi picked up the teacup unhurriedly and took a sip looking calm and indifferent.

Yelu Luan felt his chest tighten as his whole body slightly trembled and his eyes spewed fire. He really wanted to chop Gu Zezhi and Yu Fuyun who was far away in northern Xinjiang, into pieces.

Despicable!

Looking at the ashen-faced Yelu Luan, the emperor felt as if he had drunk a jar of fine wine and felt very ecstatic: Yelu Luan was not going to vomit blood, right?!
