Chapter 142 - 131 We Negotiate in Person i



Hearing Wu Yuan’s parting words, Xiao Wenyao’s heart skipped a beat.

How had she not thought of this before? If North Prince liked beautiful women and she was his type, couldn’t she also be used to exchange for her uncle’s return?

But-

Xiao Wenyao remembered the reminder Wu Yuan had given her.

The North Prince was a lecher and she herself was a woman from the Barbarian Tribe.

If she really went to North Prince Mansion, she would likely only become one of North Prince’s female slaves, and how he would torment her was unpredictable.

She only knew that her father often sneaked Great Sum women into a certain tent behind the Queen’s back, where he would torment them in various ways, often leaving those women wanting to die from their screams of agony.

If her own father routinely tormented women from Great Sum, how could the North Prince treat the daughter of the Sky Wolf King kindly?

At the thought, Xiao Wenyao’s delicate body shook uncontrollably.

However, when she thought of how kind her uncle had been to her since childhood and that, if she did not try to save him, he might die in a North City prison, her resolve strengthened.

Now, he was her only remaining relative and she did not want to lose this last kin.

Moreover, even if she did not go to North City, it was very likely that the North Pre King would come to take her away.

Her father had originally offered her to the North Pre King and now that he had been defeated, once the North Pre King learned of this, he would certainly come to their Prince’s Mansion to seize her.

Compared to the North Pre King, Xiao Wenyao would rather suffer at the hands of the North Prince.

After all, the North Prince was a man of Great Sum who did not have the habit of cannibalism and also bathed. Even if tortured, it would still be better than dealing with the still uncivilized North Pre Tribe.

With this in mind, Xiao Wenyao made a silent decision.

At the same time.

Wu Yuan arrived at Yelv Nanyan’s tent.

As Wu Yuan entered and was about to speak, Yelv Nanyan said, “Wu Yuan, I have a very important task for you. I hope you won’t let me down. If you can complete this task, I will give you a hundred thousand taels of silver!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan immediately knelt and said, “It is my duty to serve the Princess, and I dare not take your silver.”

Yelv Nanyan said, “If you can accomplish this task, you will have done a great service to the entire Sky Wolf King Tribe, and a hundred thousand taels of silver is what you deserve.”

Wu Yuan quickly said, “Please tell me, Princess, no matter what it is, I will try my best to complete it. I will exhaust my life in your service and die only after I have fulfilled my duties.”

Yelv Nanyan said, “I need you to go to North Prince Mansion and negotiate with North Prince. We, the Sky Wolf King Tribe, plan to use horses or cows and sheep to exchange for our soldiers.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment before saying, “Princess, 1 fear that I won’t be able to play a decisive role in this matter.”

Yelv Nanyan asked, “Why is that? Are you worried that North Prince will find out you’re working for the Barbarian Tribe and have you captured and killed on the spot?”

“If that’s the case, you don’t need to worry at all. We will not reveal a word of your involvement to North Prince. Just say that your caravan happened to have traded with the Sky Wolf King Tribe for cows and sheep; North Prince is likely not to trouble you then.”

Many caravans in North City have had such transactions with the Barbarian Tribe, like fur trading and, of course, trading cows and sheep.

If one were to be killed simply for transacting with the Barbarian Tribe, then caravans would probably stop coming to North City, and the city would become even poorer.

North City is already so poor that a caravan’s main purpose in coming there is to pass through and trade with the northern Barbarian Tribes.

Yelv Nanyan believed that even if North Prince did not understand business, surely someone under him would understand this logic, and they would most likely not trouble Wu Yuan, the merchant.

Wu Yuan said, “Princess, that’s not what 1 meant. What I’m saying is that if North Prince truly wants to negotiate with the Sky Wolf King Tribe, he will likely only speak directly with you. I’m just a merchant and at most can only relay a message.”

With Wu Yuan’s words, Yelv Nanyan instantly understood his point.

Now that the Sky Wolf King Tribe had few men left, North Prince would probably guess the situation of the tribe, and since they had proposed an exchange of prisoners, they would certainly need to talk terms.

If she did not appear in person, North Prince might think the Sky Wolf King Tribe lacked sincerity.

Besides, this was not a small number of captives, it was not a matter that could be settled in one or two discussions, and North Prince might even make exorbitant demands.

Having Wu Yuan, a merchant, negotiate might not lead to terms the Sky Wolf King Tribe could accept.

With this in mind, Yelv Nanyan’s brows furrowed slightly. Did she really need to meet North Prince herself?

After a long contemplation, Yelv Nanyan eventually decided to take the initiative to represent the Sky Wolf King Tribe in negotiations with North Prince.

She then said, “Here’s what we’ll do: you first convey our intention to negotiate to North Prince and see if he has any conditions. If he is willing to let our soldiers leave, then propose that we meet in person for negotiations.”

Wu Yuan said, “Yes, Princess, I will go to North City right away and convey your intentions to North Prince.”

As he said this, Wu Yuan prepared to rise and leave the tent.

At that moment, Yelv Nanyan suddenly thought of something and continued, “Wait, when you go to North City this time, inquire whether any of our Barbarian Tribe generals are still alive..”
