Chapter 316 Marrying the Princess
Yuxiu's eyes were a little solemn. Why did this person have the same surname as Qi Siyuan?
I had a vague guess in my mind that if that was the case, I would definitely help her take out the nail.
Looking at the warehouse again, Qi Siyuan and his friends had no choice but to leave when they didn't find any clues. Yuxiu left the space and followed them quietly.
The Beidi Palace was quite large. Perhaps because they had come here to scout out the place in advance, the guards were very familiar with the layout and easily avoided the patrolling guards. After turning around several times, the group entered a stone forest.
There were tall stone pillars standing in the stone forest, standing there quietly in the darkness. Yuxiu could see clearly that the stone forest was very large and extended all the way to the foot of the mountain.
I didn't expect that Beidi's palace was connected to the back mountain. There must be many traps in this stone forest. It must not be easy to get through.
If Yuxiu could think of this, Qi Siyuan's followers could certainly think of it as well.
They were originally selected from the emperor's secret guard camp, and had systematically learned various mechanical tactics, so after they entered, they quickly eliminated the various dangers inside.
Yuxiu didn't know what these people were looking for, but she couldn't resist her curiosity and followed them quietly.
After exiting the stone forest, we arrived at the foot of the back mountain, where there were several soldiers stationed. However, it was already late at night, and they were all dozing with their eyes half open.
Qi Siyuan didn't need to take any action. His followers acted like lightning and quickly captured all the people. No one knew how they did it, but to outsiders, those people were still sitting there and sleeping lazily like before.
The followers stepped forward and soon found a secret passage on the stone wall.
The door to the secret passage opened, and the stone walls inside were inlaid with luminous pearls, emitting a faint light.
When Yuxiu saw that they all entered the secret passage, she hurriedly followed them.
She thought that since she used the function of space from time to time, these people would not notice her. However, she did not expect that as soon as Yuxiu entered the secret passage, she felt a strong wind blowing towards her.
Yuxiu was startled and immediately moved lightly and quickly exited the secret passage. She only felt a shadow flash before her eyes and then she was surrounded by three people.
"It's you?"
Several people had already raised their hands, but the moment they saw Yuxiu clearly, they quickly released their strength and looked at each other, all a little stunned.
"Why did you follow me here?"
At this time, Qi Siyuan came out with another follower. When he saw Yuxiu, he was also surprised.
Could it be that Prince Ning’s brothers told her their whereabouts?
"Master said he wanted to eat Beidi's roasted whole lamb, so I followed him here. Master just went to get some delicious food, and I was bored. I happened to see you guys outside, and I felt curious, so I followed him here to take a look."
Yuxiu smiled and raised the banner of her master again.
"Excuse me, if it's inconvenient for me to follow you, then I..."
She had never thought about leaving. She didn't know whether Qi Rui was a member of the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty. Yuxiu wanted to find an opportunity to test Qi Siyuan's attitude before making any plans.
"It's not inconvenient, it's really..."
Qi Siyuan waved his hands helplessly, and several followers stepped aside.
"This is the imperial mausoleum of the Northern Di people. Once you enter, there are many traps. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger."
So that's how it is. Yuxiu nodded, indicating that she understood, but...
"One more person will also provide more protection. I will go in with you. If there is any danger, don't worry about me. I will find a way myself."
The imperial mausoleum, when you hear it, it seems to be associated with all kinds of good things.
It would be nice to go in and take a look. If I can get some rare items, this trip will not be in vain.
Seeing how confident she was, Qi Siyuan had no choice. With such a powerful master backing her up, she probably could go in alone and come out easily.
So the door of the secret passage was reopened, with followers following in front and behind, protecting Qi Siyuan and Yuxiu in the middle.
When Yuxiu came over, she was holding a dagger tightly in her hand and looking around vigilantly.
"Don't be too nervous. They are all experts. They have been snooping around here these days and have already been in here once."
Seeing Yuxiu so defensive, Qi Siyuan couldn't help but chuckle, and lowered his voice to repeat the purpose of this trip.
The struggle between the Yuan Dynasty and the Northern Di had lasted for hundreds of years. There was also a period of peace in between, when the royal families of the two countries married each other.
The Northern Di King Arslan at that time was a famous warrior of the Northern Di. He was not only tall and handsome, but also a good leader.
He was unwilling to see the people of the two countries struggling to survive the war, so he personally brought various treasures of Beidi to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and expressed his willingness to marry a princess of the Yuan Dynasty as his queen. In the future, the two countries could support each other and share what they had.
Since the other party came to him with sincerity to ask for marriage, the emperor certainly could not object. He originally wanted to marry his least favored princess to him, but things did not go as he wished and the plan could not keep up with the changes.
The emperor's favorite little princess fell in love with Arslan at first sight and was determined to marry him.
The little princess was named Qi Rui. She was the most favored of all and naturally very beautiful, which made the then Beidi King Arslan notice her at first sight.
The two of them quickly recognized each other, and the emperor could no longer find any reason to object. With the persuasion of civil and military officials, the matter was settled.
Soon, they held a grand wedding in the capital. Qi Rui, the most favored little princess of the Yuan Dynasty, brought her ten-mile red makeup and followed Arsalan to Beidi.
From that day on, the people living in the border areas lived a good life. Many merchants saw this opportunity and traveled back and forth between the south and the north, bringing the cattle and sheep products of Beidi into the Yuan Dynasty, and also transporting all kinds of good things from the Yuan Dynasty to Beidi for sale.
Even if they encountered a cold winter, they were not afraid. The Northern Di could exchange their horses, cattle and sheep for food with the Yuan Dynasty, so the people would never go hungry.
Unfortunately, God is jealous of talented people. Arsalan was poisoned to death by his own brother Garutel after only thirteen years in power.
Garutel had planned this for a long time. On the day he poisoned his brother to death, he also killed his three nephews by slitting their throats.
Princess Qi Rui was only 25 years old at that time, which was the most beautiful age for a woman. Although she had given birth to three sons in the ten years since she married Arslan, she was well taken care of by her husband and had a more mature charm than when she first married to Beidi.
