  Jiang Deqing was a man from Zhao State and a guest in the mansion of a big shot. However, as there were many guests in that big shot's mansion, he didn't stand out at all. In three years, he hadn't even had the chance to show his face to the master or do two significant things. Unlike many other guests who only thought about getting by and eating their fill, Jiang Deqing hoped that one day he could truly rise up and plot a way to boundless wealth and honor.

  He had always dreamed of being recognized by a noble, and finally, he waited for the opportunity. The master of the house told them that the superior wanted to control the grassland, and needed someone to infiltrate the grassland, transmit messages between tribes, and create chaos when necessary.

  Jiang Deqing was overjoyed when he found out whose idea it was. He felt that wealth and power were within his grasp, and he excitedly traveled from Zhao Guo to the grasslands. At first, he had also thought about infiltrating the Wutu tribe and securing a position for himself, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get in. The Wutu tribe was different from what Jiang Deqing had imagined. He had thought it was just an ordinary tribe where most people were uneducated and illiterate, making them easy to deceive. However, he almost got scared out of his wits by a half-grown boy.

  That young man was a member of the Wutu tribe's wolf cavalry and had been raising and training wolves since he was a child. With his sharp eyes, he could see through people's hearts and had caught several spies with ulterior motives. If Jiang Deqing hadn't run fast, he would have fallen into their hands long ago.

  However, he went to the White Di tribe to instigate Iled and the Wudu tribe to oppose each other. He also promised to let the White Di tribe move to Zhao in the future, but as a result, he was overpowered and the White Di tribe was destroyed ahead of time. He himself was tied up with ropes and taken back to Wudu on horseback.

  Wotuo, the leader of the Uighur tribe who brought him back, returned home and became a wild man again, thinking about kidnapping his daughter to learn horse riding, completely forgetting about this person.

  All the other captives brought back were arranged, leaving only Jiang Deqing alone. The person in charge asked about that day's pine top, and that day's pine had previously heard Jiang Deqing claim to be a Yin countryman, feeling that he was not good at handling it, so he told Yin Ruhou about it.

  So much time was spent on Wu Tuo that it wasn't until two or three days later that he finally had a chance to have Jiang Deqing brought before him.

  Jiang Deqing hadn't suffered much in the past few days, at least he had food and drink. He had calmed down from his initial panic and was thinking about what to do next. When he heard that he would be taken to see Yin Ruxu, he felt a surge of joy. He thought to himself, "That Princess Yin is said to be a gentle and weak noblewoman, such women are soft-hearted and don't have many tricks up their sleeves. If I can spin a good lie, maybe I can fool her."

  He was greatly relieved, and when he saw Yin Ruxu, he put his mind at ease even more. He made up his mind to pretend to be crazy and stupid, rushed forward and cried out "Princess spare my life! I'm innocent, I'm a good citizen of the Yin country, I was captured by the White Clan, and I'm not one of them!"

  Yin Ruoxu had already heard people say that he was going to discuss "The Female Lead and the Male Supporting Character" with more like-minded people, "Popular Online Novels" or chat with more book friends about their favorite books.
