Wu Yuan immediately said, “Replying to the Princess, this servant knows that General Xiao is still alive and is imprisoned in the jail of Yan County, and it seems that the North Prince has no intention of presenting the prisoner to the Great Sum court.”

Hearing Wu Yuan’s answer, Yelv Nanyan was slightly excited, and she immediately asked, “Are you sure General Xiao is still alive?”

Wu Yuan answered, “This servant only heard about it, and cannot be entirely sure. Moreover, this news seems to be known by many, and this servant bought the intelligence from a soldier in North City.”

“According to what that soldier from North City said, after the war ended, the soldiers of North City sent a general of the Barbarian Tribe to be imprisoned in the jail of Yan County, and the North Prince even had a physician treat him. Based on the description by that soldier, this servant deduced that the general he spoke of must be General Xiao.”

Yelv Nanyan took a deep breath. Now that the Sky Wolf Tribe had no Master Level warriors left, if Xiao Pengthian was still alive, they must retrieve him at any cost.

If the Sky Wolf Tribe lacked a powerful warrior to oversee them, it would be difficult to survive on the grasslands of the North Land.

Having calmed her emotions, Yelv Nanyan continued, “When you go to North City this time, you must gather more intelligence about General Xiao. Once it’s confirmed that General Xiao is still alive, immediately have someone send us a message.”

Wu Yuan said, “Yes, Princess.”

Yelv Nanyan then said, “Alright, make haste with your preparations and leave for North City immediately.”

Wu Yuan bowed and said, “This servant takes his leave.”

Right after that, Wu Yuan turned and left the tent.

Watching Wu Yuan’s departing figure, Yelv Nanyan heaved a deep sigh.

The royal court of the Sky Wolf Tribe had relocated many times, and she had followed the migration of the Sky Wolf King’s court multiple times, until they finally chose this place near a river.

She had thought that when they next moved the royal court, they would go straight to North City and would no longer live a nomadic life chasing water and grass.

Little did she expect, they were about to embark on a life of constant upheaval once more.

At this thought, images of the life her mother had described to her as a child came to mind.

A life without worrying about hunger or cold, without fear of wolves and wild beasts, with bright lights in every household at night, streets and alleyways filled with food vendors, tasting delights wherever she walked, returning home at night to find a bath prepared by servants, bathing immediately, and sleeping in a warm, fragrant bed, waking up the next day to a beautiful and worry-free day.

Perhaps she would never live such a life.

Her mother, once a person of Great Sum, had not lived such a life since being brought to the Barbarian Tribe, and died without experiencing it again. How could she ever live such a wonderful life?

Yelv Nanyan tried to calm herself, not to think too much. Right now, the most important thing was to ransom the Barbarian Tribe’s able-bodied men and Xiao Pengthian.

If the Sky Wolf Tribe were lost, her fate would be even more tragic; she couldn’t bear to live the miserable life she had as a child again.

A few days later.

North Prince Mansion.

Lu Chen was examining intelligence reports from the Brocade Guard in his study when there was a knock at the door.

Lu Chen said indifferently, “Come in.”

Immediately, the door opened, and Qin Yushan entered the study.

“Your Highness,” he greeted.

Lu Chen, looking at the intelligence in his hand, hummed in acknowledgment and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Qin Yushan placed the intelligence in his hand on Lu Chen’s desk, “Your Highness, Wu Yuan has returned, and he brings news that the Sky Wolf King’s wife wishes to negotiate with you in person. They plan to redeem the captives of the Barbarian Tribe and Xiao Pengthian with horses or livestock.”

At these words, Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback, then put down the intelligence in his hand and glanced over the report Qin Yushan had placed on the desk.

Lu Chen had initially guessed that the Sky Wolf Tribe would concede, but he didn’t anticipate that the Sky Wolf King’s wife intended to negotiate with him in person.

After all, negotiation is a dangerous matter; it’s very possible that those coming to negotiate might never return.

The Sky Wolf King’s wife was braver than he had imagined.

Truly worthy of a woman who could wield power within the Sky Wolf Tribe.

Lu Chen had initially thought of making Xiao Pengthian the Sky Wolf King to divide the tribe, but now it seemed unnecessary.

From the intelligence, Lu Chen learned that the royal court of the Sky Wolf King had already begun moving. This was clearly a precaution against the North Fre King and other Barbarian Tribe factions.

It appeared their recent defeat had made them feel a great crisis, and there was no need to provoke them further with Xiao Pengthian.

Whether Xiao Pengthian returned or not, in the eyes of the Sky Wolf Tribe’s people, he was the next Sky Wolf King.

Now, with no Master Level warriors in the entire Sky Wolf Tribe, even if reluctant, they could only acknowledge Xiao Pengthian as the new Sky Wolf King.

So for them, acknowledging Xiao Pengthian as the Sky Wolf King actually won’t serve to divide them; instead, they would try all means to ransom Xiao Pengthian back.

At this point, Lu Chen put down the intelligence report on the desk and rose from his seat.

“Let’s go take a look at Xiao Pengthian,” he said.

With those words, Lu Chen left the study and headed to the prison where Xiao Pengthian was held.

For the upcoming negotiations with the Sky Wolf King’s wife, Lu Chen planned to bring Xiao Pengthian along, intending to bring the entire Sky Wolf Tribe under the control of North City.
