Chapter 884

Upon hearing this, Fang Yeyu said helplessly:

"Sixth Prince, Sushan is very capable; it would be a pity if she could not be used by us."

That man was none other than Xu Lie Wu.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were somewhat playful.

He had not expected that even Xu Lie Wu had secretly come to Western Xia,

and was even hiding in the Grand General's mansion.

Xu Lie Wu had destroyed countless nations in the Western Regions;

no wonder he possessed such intense confidence.

That was a unique temperament brought about by countless victories.

But was he not worried about being assassinated?

Was this overconfidence, or was someone protecting him in the shadows?

If someone were protecting him in the shadows, their cultivation base would definitely not be low,

otherwise, they would not have been able to escape Gu Hanyuan's perception.

If there happened to be no one protecting him in the shadows,

then Xu Lie Wu was truly a bit foolish.

At the very least, if Zhen Sushan were to see Xu Lie Wu,

she would definitely attempt an assassination.

Huo Qingtong would also very likely make a move.

Gu Hanyuan pondered that he could not help but feel a hint of temptation.

If he were to take Xu Lie Wu's head as a bargaining chip,

Zhen Sushan and Huo Qingtong would definitely agree to any conditions.

It was a pity that Gu Hanyuan had not yet had any interaction with the two women.

Moreover, Xu Lie Wu dying in Western Xia would be quite troublesome,

and would not be in Gu Hanyuan's long-term interest.

He had no choice but to suppress the thought of directly making a move to kill Xu Lie Wu for now.

However, he still casually placed a spiritual sense tracking mark on him,

treating it as if his head were temporarily stored on his neck.

Xu Lie Wu inexplicably felt a chill on the back of his neck,

a feeling of being watched by someone.

This was an intuition brought about by countless battles on the field.

Under Fang Yeyu's puzzled gaze, he vigilantly looked around,

but unfortunately, he still gained nothing.

He could only suppress this inexplicable feeling for now,

and continue the previous topic.

"Yeyu, you know that Khwarazm cannot restore its nation. What will happen to this woman when the time comes...?"

Fang Yeyu said in a deep voice:

"She will recognize reality one day; when that time comes, we just need to spare the lives of her clansmen."

This was a countermeasure he had long since thought of.

Once the Mongol Yuan sweeps across the world,

Khwarazm's resistance will be completely meaningless.

Given Zhen Sushan's intelligence and awareness,

she will definitely trade herself for the lives of her clansmen when the time comes.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lie Wu pondered for a moment,

and generously agreed to Fang Yeyu's request.

He said with the demeanor of a king:

"Except for Jalal ad-Din who must die, the others do not matter."

The Mongol Yuan has destroyed countless nations,

and has absorbed the citizens of those nations.

A mere Khwarazm is not worth their concern.

If it weren't for the fact that Khwarazm foolishly killed the Mongol Yuan's envoy back then,

they would not have been hunted down until now.

Fang Yeyu said respectfully:

"Thank you for your understanding, Prince."

He also had his own ambitions.

Compared to Pang Ban's high and lofty position,

whose eyes are on the destiny of the entire Mongol Yuan,

Fang Yeyu wants more power,

which is why he placed his bets on Xu Lie Wu.

Xu Lie Wu was extremely satisfied with Fang Yeyu;

not only was his attitude respectful,

but he was also resourceful and had outstanding abilities.

He was one of his indispensable confidants.

Xu Lie Wu feigned intimacy by draping his arm over Fang Yeyu's shoulder,

and laughed heartily:

"Haha, why be so formal between brothers? Besides, keeping the Khwarazm government-in-exile for now is beneficial to me."

Although Fang Yeyu was somewhat uncomfortable with this way of showing closeness from Xu Lie Wu,

he also knew that this represented Xu Lie Wu's trust in him.

Fang Yeyu endured the discomfort,

and said flatteringly:

"Prince is wise. The strength in the Western Regions is much weaker than in the Central Plains; the Fourth Imperial Grandson and Seventh Imperial Grandson have bumped into walls in the Central Plains. As long as Khwarazm is not destroyed, the Prince has an excuse not to go to the Central Plains for a day. Once the Fourth and Seventh Imperial Grandson are both injured in the Central Plains, the Prince can then come to clean up the mess. By then, with the Prince's merits, plus the secret attachment of Western Xia, you will inevitably be able to inherit the throne."

Xu Lie Wu heard that he could inherit the throne,

and judging by the current situation, the hope was great.

He immediately laughed heartily:

"Haha, it will depend on your planning, Yeyu."

Gu Hanyuan did not continue to eavesdrop on the boring conversation between the two.

The important information had already been obtained,

and he left the Grand General's mansion silently.

Stepping onto the Zhanlong Sword,

he "flew by sword" straight toward Tianshan.

Gu Hanyuan soon arrived at Piaomiao Peak,

and discovered the traces of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands.

Sure enough, they had already begun attacking the Jiugong.

At this moment, they were attacking up to the Duanhun Cliff,

lighting a large number of torches,

illuminating the night sky.

Logically speaking, attacking a mountain in the middle of the night is not a good choice,

but they had encountered heavy obstacles along the way,

and their progress was very slow,

causing them to worry that other changes might occur.

He worried that other unforeseen events might occur.
