Although Xiao Wenyao was a princess in the Sky Wolf Tribe, with a relatively high status, it would be quite different once married into the North Pre King’s tribe.

In the Barbarian Tribes, women’s status was generally low.

Xiao Wenyao’s high status in the Sky Wolf Tribe was mainly because she had a father who was king of the barbarians.

And Empress Yelv Nanyan had not achieved her position overnight; she, too, had benefited from the previous Sky Wolf King’s ill health, which had allowed her to gradually accumulate some power in her hands.

Every time Xiao Wenyao thought about the torture she would endure from the North Pre King after getting married, her delicate body involuntarily trembled.

Continuing to cry, Xiao Wenyao said, “Father, I’ve heard that the previous queens of the North Fre King all died unnatural deaths. I’m still young and don’t want to die so soon!”

Hearing her words, Xiao Hongbo flew into a rage, “Nonsense! The North Fre King is a king of the Barbarian Tribe after all; he is entirely worthy of you. What more could you be dissatisfied with!”

“That’s settled then. Once 1 conquer North City, you shall marry over there; there’s no room for discussion!”

Seeing her father finalize the decision, Xiao Wenyao instantly got up from the ground and ran out crying.

Xiao Wenyao ran wildly across the grassland, not knowing how long it had been before she finally slowed down.

At that moment, Wu Yuan came to Xiao Wenyao’s side, “Your Highness, what has happened to you?”

Wu Yuan had just been instructing others to unload supplies when he suddenly noticed Xiao Wenyao run out of the royal tent, crying as she did so. Guessing there must be some new intelligence, he hurriedly pretended to comfort Xiao Wenyao, approaching her.

Wiping away her tears, Xiao Wenyao said, “Father is making me marry the North Fre King, but I refuse to marry that ogre!”

This…

Wu Yuan’s brain paused.

The North Fre King?

Could it be that the Sky Wolf King and the North Fre King were going to join forces in the attack on North City?

Wu Yuan thought for a moment. True, if it was just the Sky Wolf Tribe, it would indeed be unlikely to muster an army of three hundred thousand, but with two Barbarian Kings joining forces, they could have such a huge army.

If the Sky Wolf King was asking for help from the North Fre King to attack North City, he would naturally have to offer some benefits, and Xiao Wenyao was probably one of them.

Seeing Wu Yuan silent, Xiao Wenyao turned her head to look at him and said, “Wu Yuan, can you help me escape to Great Sum? I can’t marry the North Fre King no matter what, I don’t want to die yet.”

“Uh, Your Highness, I’m afraid nobody dares to agree to such a request,” Wu Yuan said.

Actually, Wu Yuan was also conflicted inside because he was just a spy, and he didn’t know what kind of decisions would be made in North City or by the North Prince.

If he took it upon himself to bring a daughter of a Barbarian King to North City, to Great Sum, it could provoke the barbarians to attack sooner, which would be very bad for the strategic arrangements in North City.

With this in mind, Wu Yuan said, “Your Highness, 1 know a friend who might be able to help you, but I need to ask his opinion first. I may have to wait until my next return to give you an answer.”

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao was instantly filled with hope, “Wu Yuan, are you telling the truth? Can your friend really help me?”

Wu Yuan said, “Yeah, as long as he is willing, he can definitely help you.”

Xiao Wenyao then said, “Please do that for me. When will you depart for Great Sum?”

Wu Yuan replied, “Your Highness, I have just returned today; 1 need to rest for at least two days.”

Xiao Wenyao said, “Oh, okay, then when you come back next time, you must tell me your friend’s response as soon as possible.”

Wu Yuan said, “Of course, Your Highness.”

While they were talking, a rugged male voice came from behind them.

“Yaoyao, are you alright?”

Hearing that, Wu Yuan and Xiao Wenyao both turned around to find Xiao Pengthian behind them, then Wu Yuan immediately said, “Your Highness, I shall take my leave now. You two talk.”

After he finished speaking, Wu Yuan turned and went back to his carriage to continue unloading the cargo.

Xiao Pengthian was Xiao Wenyao’s uncle, which is to say, he was the brother to Xiao Hongbo’s legitimate wife.

Originally, Xiao Pengthian should not have had the Xiao surname since Yelv Nanyan stipulated that the Xiao surname was reserved for the royal family, but Xiao Hongbo bestowed him with the Xiao surname to win him over.

When she saw it was her uncle, Xiao Wenyao asked, “Uncle, do you need something from me?”

Xiao Pengthian sighed and said, “Yaoyao, 1 have already heard about your situation.”

Xiao Wenyao was momentarily stunned.

Xiao Pengthian continued, “Xiao Hongbo is getting out of hand, first he caused the death of my sister, and now he wants to marry you off to that uncivilized tribe!”

Hearing Xiao Pengthian’s words, Xiao Wenyao immediately picked up on the key phrases. She looked at Xiao Pengthian and urgently asked, “Uncle, what did you just say?”

“Did my father cause the death of my mother?”

With righteous indignation, Xiao Pengthian said, “Who else but him? Your mother had always been in good health. How could she possibly die suddenly if not for Xiao Hongbo wanting to marry the empress, thus causing her death.”

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao felt as if her entire worldview had collapsed. She could hardly believe that her father could do such a thing.

At that moment, Xiao Wenyao was still holding onto a sliver of hope, and she continued, “Uncle, these are just your suspicions.”

Seeing Xiao Wenyao’s disbelief, Xiao Pengthian sighed again, “Yaoyao, you are still young and don’t understand these things.”

“Your father has become just like those emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty, willing to sacrifice anything for power in their hands, including their own wives and daughters.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this now. Yaoyao, don’t worry. I will do my best to persuade your father not to marry you off to the North Fre King. If he really won’t listen, then your uncle will think of other methods.”

Gratefully, Xiao Wenyao said, “Thank you, Uncle.”

Half a month later.

Great Sum, Capital city.

Xuanzheng Hall.

In the court, the ministers were discussing some trivial matters, when suddenly a loud shout came from outside the hall.

“Urgent news from North Land, Barbarian Tribe is stirring!”

Upon hearing these words, the ministers in the hall, who had been arguing over matters of protocol, fell instantly silent.

Soon, a soldier bearing three red flags on his back entered the hall, kneeled halfway, and lifted the bamboo tube in his hands high above his head, declaring, “Your Majesty, the Barbarian Tribe is stirring, North City is in danger!”

The eunuch quickly took the bamboo tube from the hands of the messenger and approached the Sum Emperor, opening the tube and handing the intelligence report to the Emperor.

The Emperor received the parchment scroll and read the text written by Lu Chen carefully.

At this moment, Xuanzheng Hall was exceptionally quiet, with all the ministers’ eyes riveted on the Emperor, creating an extraordinarily heavy atmosphere within the hall.

The Barbarian Tribe had always been a thorn in the side for Great Sum. Great Sum had dispatched troops to fight the Barbarian Tribe many times, with the outcome mostly being losses.

Even when Great Sum won, the Barbarian Tribe could utilize the advantage of their cavalry to quickly withdraw from the battlefield.

Thus, no matter the battle, Great Sum had not been able to completely eradicate the Barbarian Tribe.

Upon seeing that three hundred thousand Barbarian cavalry were about to march south, the Emperor’s expression darkened in an instant.

The Barbarian cavalry could have come at any other time, but they chose to move south precisely when he was about to deal with the Aristocratic Family..
