He was afraid that Lu Qingwan and Si Fengwu would not hear that he had been used, so he specifically added, "Please forgive this prince for not being able to think of anyone else besides you who could have destroyed the Nie imperial family so thoroughly."
He spoke of using people so openly, Lu Qingwan's fiery temper could not hold back!
"So, you're proud of using us!
And you drove Feng Qingheng, that idiot, to a dead end. You weren't forcing Feng Qingheng, you were forcing us, weren't you?"
Anger surged, Lu Qingwan didn't even want the warm seat anymore, she walked back and forth in the tent with her hands on her hips.
"I just said, with Feng Qingheng's idiotic intelligence, how could he possibly have found those people from the Gu Nan Zhao royal family, and come up with such a vicious method to threaten me and the Prince?
Those people were also revealed to him by you, intentionally or unintentionally, through Wuan Palace, right?
So..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qingwan suddenly made a move, her soft whip lashing out towards Nie Wuming's neck.
Si Fengwu, who had been watching Lu Qingwan intently, ready to appease her, rushed forward at the sight. Regardless of why Lu Qingwan suddenly attacked Nie Wuming, he struck Nie Wuming with a palm.
Since Lu Qingwan and Si Fengwu attacked almost simultaneously and suddenly, they did not manage to control their strength.
The two of them directly slammed Nie Wuming to the ground, and he fainted without much struggle.
Si Fengwu instinctively pulled Lu Qingwan into his embrace. Seeing that Nie Wuming had completely fainted, he asked Lu Qingwan with lingering fear, "Why did you suddenly attack? Did he do something?"
"From the moment he entered the room, he was trying to plant suggestions in your and my mind."
Lu Qingwan's voice was icy, "You have the intelligent bracelet, and I have my own defense mechanism, so we weren't affected. He might have been a little anxious.
I was about to ask if he was the one who forced Old Madam Chi, Madam Wen Xiang, and Yaoyao to snatch the King of Ten Thousand Phoenixes, and he wanted to attack me, but I beat him to it."
After Lu Qingwan explained her anger, she suddenly hugged Si Fengwu fiercely. "I attacked without knowing what was going on. This kind of tacit understanding deserves a reward hug."
One moment she was furious, and the next she was happy.
Si Fengwu dotingly stroked her head and called out, "Someone."
Li Jin responded and entered. He was startled to see Nie Wuming on the ground. After reacting, he quickly asked them, "My Lord, Consort, are you alright?"
"We're fine, he's not."
Lu Qingwan, hanging on Si Fengwu, gritted her teeth. "Drag him down and hand him over to Ru Yue for interrogation.
Immediately send people to check if there is a fire oil mine beneath Guihua City, and also check Guihua City's defensive deployment."
After speaking, she turned to Si Fengwu. "Is it better to have our soldiers stand by for now?
If what he said is true, and the fire oil mine catches fire, we won't even have time to retreat with so many soldiers, right?"
In winter, the vegetation in the Northern Wei territory was dry and brittle. Without anything to help it burn, it would be uncontrollable. With the addition of fire oil, if it truly caught fire, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would have nowhere to retreat.
Si Fengwu pondered for a moment. "If the fire starts, retreating alone will be useless. First, have someone measure the wind direction for the next few days, and let the soldiers retreat to the windward side.
After the specific range of the fire oil mine is ascertained, then the specific siege plan will be determined."
Li Jin also did not expect to gain such an important secret upon arrival. He was stunned for a moment and silently went back to implement their orders.
Lu Qingwan returned to the warm seat and sighed. "In this case, we can't attack Guihua City for now, can we?"
Fire oil was not something that could be easily dealt with by human strength. If it were true, as Nie Wuming said, and the soldiers attacked the city, and the Northern Wei Emperor resorted to mutual destruction.
The entire Guihua City, including all the enemy and friendly troops and civilians, would be reduced to ashes. Then they would become sinners for all eternity.
Si Fengwu gently massaged Lu Qingwan's head and said calmly, "The army can temporarily not attack, but it is impossible for this prince to remain inactive."
Lu Qingwan loved his confident demeanor the most. Upon hearing this, she became energetic. "What, do you have a plan?"
Her eyes sparkled, making Si Fengwu almost think he had directly presented Guihua City to her.
Amused by his strange thought, Si Fengwu shook his head slightly. "It's not a strategy, just preparing for contingencies.
You know how difficult Guihua City is to attack, and when I originally planned to attack Guihua City, we did not have firearms.
To avoid heavy casualties during the siege, I have been selling some nails in Guihua City over the years. Although it's not enough to completely take down Guihua City, it's enough to disintegrate the Northern Wei's power center and leave them leaderless."
This was undoubtedly good news.
Lu Qingwan looked at him with bright eyes. "If that were the case, it would be for the best.
If the fire oil matter is true, let's use it as the last straw to crush the Northern Wei imperial family, shall we?
I don't believe that the people in Guihua City are all willing to be buried with the Nie dynasty."
Si Fengwu nodded in agreement, but his eyes stared at Lu Qingwan resentfully, like a child who hadn't gotten a toy.
Lu Qingwan looked at him in confusion. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Si Fengwu resentfully accused him, "I buried secret agents in Guihua City to disintegrate the Northern Wei's command system, and you're not surprised at all?"
He had only helped her beat up Nie Wuming and received a reward hug, but after doing such a great deed, he received no reward. The Prince of Qin was suddenly displeased.
Lu Qingwan immediately couldn't help but laugh. "How old are you, Your Highness? Shall I reward you with a little red flower?"
Si Fengwu didn't understand the "little red flower" meme at all. He shamelessly sought a reward. "Forget the little red flower. A kiss, and I'll forgive you."
After saying that, he shamelessly extended his face to Lu Qingwan, inviting a kiss.
Lu Qingwan pushed him away disdainfully. "What kind of demon are you? Give me back my Prince!"
The two of them laughed and joked in the small tent, shutting out the howling wind and sand of the desert.
A night passed. Lu Qingwan still couldn't quite get used to the dry and cold climate of Northern Wei, waking up several times in a daze throughout the night.
Si Fengwu brought her water to moisten her throat, then wrapped her up again. "It's not dawn yet, go back to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent door was slammed open with a bang. "My Lord, Guihua City has engaged in battle!"
The speaker was Li Jin. Judging by his voice, more than just Li Jin was waiting outside the door.
Si Fengwu instinctively reached to cover Lu Qingwan's ears, but she had already gotten up and was quickly putting on her outer clothes.
