Chapter 5 of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: A Condition

"Do you want to enter Esnia?"

Yue Ru's words made Ye Tianlong's body tremble slightly. His eyes shone brightly as he gazed at the stunningly beautiful woman before him.

"Little Long'er, you seem to lack hospitality. You haven't even poured me a glass of water yet?"

Seeing Ye Tianlong's hopeful expression, Yue Ru casually changed the subject.

Ye Tianlong was truly unable to fathom the woman's thoughts. He could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Holding the tea served by the goddess warrior, Yue Ru sighed, "It's such a waste to have the goddess warrior do such a thing!"

"Enough with the small talk, just tell me your purpose!" Ye Tianlong decided to stop this performance and cut to the chase, abandoning all formalities.

"You should politely ask me to help you enter Esnia."

Yue Ru's expression remained alluring, but her peach blossom eyes now held a sharp edge.

"Now that you want to enter the heavily interrogated Estnia, it won't be an easy task!"

"How did you know we wanted to enter Estnia?" Ye Tianlong asked without thinking.

"You've come all this way, isn't it to enter Estnia?" Yue Ru looked quite surprised.

"Can't we just come here for sightseeing?" Upon hearing this, even Ye Tianlong himself couldn't believe it; he was completely flustered by Yue Ru's words.

"Then I guess I misjudged." Saying this, Yue Ru stood up from her chair decisively, looking like she was about to leave.

"Fine, fine. I admit I can't beat you." Ye Tianlong helplessly conceded defeat: "We do want to enter Estnia, but we haven't found a good way yet."

From the moment Yue Ru knocked on the door, she had actually been in control of the situation, and Ye Tianlong had only been passively responding.

Ye Tianlong understood this, so he had no choice but to honestly apply the old adage, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman."

Yue Ru smiled triumphantly, a childlike innocence, like that of a victorious little girl, appearing on her alluring face. This caused Ye Tianlong's eyes to light up.

After sitting down again, Yue Ru smiled radiantly: "I never imagined that you, the dignified Eastern Governor, Ye Tianlong, whom even the beautiful War Goddess is captivated by, would actually admit defeat to a weak woman like me!"

"If you are a weak woman, then there are no powerful women in this world."

Although he muttered this to himself, Ye Tianlong dared not say it aloud, lest he engage in a pointless argument with this beauty.

This time, Yue Ru was specially invited by Yunaia to lead a large troupe of singers and dancers to perform at his coronation ceremony. As the continent's foremost singer and dancer, Yue Ru's appearance at Yunaia's coronation ceremony greatly enhanced Yunaia's prestige.

Originally, Yue Ru and her group were supposed to arrive in Daxing Town at dusk, but a minor problem on the way delayed their journey, and they didn't arrive until the middle of the night.

When Franz and his group clashed with Ye Tianlong, Yue Ru heard Ye Tianlong's voice, which is why she sent her personal maid, Xiao Rou, to check. After

hearing Xiao Rou's report and based on her own observations, Yue Ru immediately deduced that her neighbor was Ye Tianlong.

The Tianlong Legion's incredible victory, coupled with the sudden appearance of Legion Commander Ye Tianlong near Esnia, greatly surprised Yue Ru.

Therefore, she decided to meet Ye Tianlong under the cover of night.

"Wait, how can you be so sure it's me without even seeing me?"

Ye Tianlong asked, full of doubt.

"It's simple," Yue Ru smiled mysteriously, without elaborating further on her answer. "Whoever it is, if I want to remember them, they can't escape my ears and eyes."

"So you came all this way in the middle of the night just to chat with someone I've only met once, right?"

Ye Tianlong knew some things were other people's secrets, and even if he pressed further, he wouldn't get any more answers, so he simply changed the subject.

"Of course not." Yue Ru smiled faintly, "If you want to infiltrate Esnia, I can help you."

Ye Tianlong was stunned. Where in the world could there be such a good thing? He hadn't even thought of a good solution, and someone was already offering to help him solve his problem. It was unbelievable.

"Miss Yue Ru, you're not joking with me, are you?" Ye Tianlong couldn't help but ask.

"If I were joking with you, why would I come to find you in the middle of the night? It's not like I don't have other things to do." Yue Ru gave Ye Tianlong a charmingly glaring look, making the man's heart skip a beat for no reason.

If he were to blend into Yue Ru's group, it would indeed be very easy to enter Esnia, and he wouldn't be checked by the soldiers. After all, Yue Ru was a respected singer and dancer, and a distinguished guest whom Yunaia had invited with great enthusiasm.

Another advantage was that women made up more than a third of Yue Ru's nearly two-hundred-person team, making Cynthia and her group less conspicuous.

"If you really want to help us, then we must thank you properly!" Ye Tianlong finally decided to believe the beautiful woman before him and accept her help.

"No need to thank me, because I have one more condition." Yue Ru's stunningly beautiful face revealed a captivating smile that could make one's blood boil: "After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Don't you think so, my Eastern Governor?"

Immediately, alarm bells rang in Ye Tianlong's mind. He nervously stared at Yue Ru's unparalleled beauty: "Miss Yue Ru, what kind of condition do you want?"

"Don't be nervous, my condition is very simple." Yue Ru was in a good mood: "Call me sister!"

Ye Tianlong suddenly felt completely manipulated. He took a deep breath, gazing into Yue Ru's captivating eyes.

“Miss Yue Ru, haven’t you had enough fun yet? How long do you intend to play with me?”

“I’m serious.” Yue Ru looked at Ye Tianlong’s amused expression with great interest, appearing quite happy: “Just call me ‘sister,’ and I will naturally help you enter Estnia without anyone noticing.”

“If you truly want to help us, I’ll call you ‘sister’ as many times as you want,”

Ye Tianlong thought to himself. Just then, he suddenly heard Yu Zhu’s voice.

“Young Master, Lu Tu has arrived.”

Nodding slowly, Ye Tianlong looked at Yue Ru, a carefree smile suddenly appearing on his face, and said, “Sister Yue Ru, please take us into Estnia.”

“Little Long’er is so good.” Yue Ru smiled brightly and said, “Tomorrow morning, I will send Xiao Rou to arrange for you to enter Estnia with us.”

“Sister, Xiao Rou beside you is really a good match for you.” Ye Tianlong laughed, “Do you two both like being called ‘sister’ so much? Aren’t you afraid of making yourselves sound old?”

“That little devil…” Yue Ru shook her head with a smile, stood up from her chair, picked up her thick veil and put it back on, then said to Ye Tianlong, “It’s getting late, you should prepare yourselves. After dawn, Xiao Rou will arrange for you to join our team.”

“By the way, what about that white-haired Flying Tiger from last time?” Ye Tianlong asked Yue Ru casually, as if suddenly remembering her, “Is he in your team too?”

“I didn’t invite them this time.” A strange look flashed in Yue Ru’s bright eyes as she said calmly.

Taking two steps forward, Yue Ru suddenly said softly, “By the way, this time when we go to Esnia, we will be staying in the Fast’s Royal Palace, so please be careful.”

With that, she walked out without looking back.

Watching her exquisite figure, Ye Tianlong was greatly shocked. What secrets did this seemingly peerless beauty, who reigned supreme over the continent with her singing and dancing, hold? What kind of person was she really?

"Lu Tuxian greets Your Excellency." Just as Yue Ru's figure disappeared from the courtyard gate, Lu Tuxian appeared before Ye Tianlong.

"Old Lu, please sit down."

Ye Tianlong quickly pulled Lu Tuxian over and made him sit in a chair beside him.

"You've worked so hard these past few days."

Despite the many difficulties he had endured, this usually expressionless Iceblood Demon man still wore a cold face upon their reunion.

But no one knew the excitement in his heart. Although the man before him remained the same, as the most powerful expert among the Iceblood Demons, Lu Tuxian keenly sensed the immense demonic energy hidden within Ye Tianlong. It was an astonishing aura capable of forcing anyone to bow down in submission; once fully unleashed, no one could stop him.

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. Lu Tuxian was merely doing his duty."

"How is Esnia doing now?" Knowing his subordinate's temperament, Ye Tianlong simply smiled and began to get to the point.

"It's very troublesome." Rutu first said succinctly and decisively, "The reorganized city guard has caused us a lot of difficulties. We've lost quite a few men these past few days."

"With Esnia under military control, the reorganized city guard has gained immense power. They have the authority to deal with anyone suspected of sabotage on the spot. In addition, the new commander-in-chief, Bryago, is a man who acts like a storm. After several rounds of large-scale security sweeps, almost all the scoundrels and scoundrels in the capital Esnia have fled to avoid trouble."

"What about the people from the Eastern Governor's Office?" Ye Tianlong was most concerned about this matter, especially the Eastern Governor's military advisor, Shi Yixin, who was a good man who had worked hard for him.

"After being released from the prison, Lord Shi Yixin has officially retired from the army and is staying at home. Because he was framed by Gilemans, the people of Yunaya no longer care about him." Lu Tuxian knew what Ye Tianlong was most concerned about, so he explained Shi Yixin's situation in a little more detail: "The rest of the city guards from the Eastern Governor's faction, except for some who were taken away by Gilemans, were investigated and reorganized, and then incorporated into the city guard system."

There was no bad news, and Ye Tianlong breathed a slight sigh of relief. In any case, if Yunaya carried out a major purge of the original Eastern Governor's faction, he would definitely be very upset.

"My lord, why did you agree to that woman's suggestion?"

After explaining the recent situation in Esnia, Lu Tuxian immediately raised his objection when he heard that Ye Tianlong had decided to infiltrate Esnia by joining Yue Ru's group.

“We could try to infiltrate Esnia ourselves, and we can’t be sure what that woman is thinking right now. It’s too risky.”

“If Yue Ru doesn’t discover our presence, we can certainly try to sneak into Esnia. But that would also be risky, especially for Ning Sunu. In her current state, who knows what might happen if she tries to cross the heavily fortified city walls?” Ye Tianlong nodded and shared his thoughts with Lu Tuxian.

Yu Zhu had already told Lu Tuxian about Ning Sunu’s situation before they arrived, so Lu Tuxian understood what Ye Tianlong meant.

Among this group, only Yu Zhu of the Dark Clan could stealthily cross Esnia’s city walls. The others couldn’t possibly fly over the high and thick walls all at once, and carrying Ning Sunu as they crawled along the smooth walls section by section was indeed very difficult.

“Now, entering Esnia by blending in with Yue Ru’s group is much safer and more convenient. Not only will no one check our documents, but no one will suspect Cynthia and the others’ identities. After all, it wouldn’t be strange to have any kind of woman in a group of renowned singers and dancers. More importantly, they will be staying at the Sanssouci Palace in Esnia this time, which will make it much easier for us to rescue Princess Qian.”

“If Yue Ru really wanted to betray us, she wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble. She could just quietly tell Yunaia after entering Esnia, and we still wouldn’t be able to escape.”

Seeing that Lu Tuxian still looked worried, Ye Tianlong smiled and said calmly, “No matter what you do, it’s impossible to avoid taking risks. Now we have no better option than to trust her. Although I still don’t know what Yue Ru is really thinking, at least this time, she should be on our side.”

At this point, Lu Tuxian said nothing more. To be honest, he couldn’t think of any better solution either.

He and Ye Tianlong agreed on how to contact each other after entering Esnia, then he got up to take his leave and rest in another room.

"Yuzhu, do you think this is too risky?"

Upon entering the inner room, Ye Tianlong saw Yuzhu sitting beside Ning Su Nu's bed and suddenly asked.

"Young Master, whatever you do, Yuzhu will be by your side."

The beautiful woman from the Dark Clan didn't directly answer her master's question, but instead said something completely unrelated.

Looking at the goddess warrior leader who wholeheartedly followed him beside him, and then glancing at Esnia's most beautiful woman lying silently on the bed, Ye Tianlong felt a strange sense of unease.

Since having Yu Fengwu and Chen Yue, two women of extraordinary wisdom and talent, by his side, he had often relied on their wisdom in many difficult situations. But now, he had to rely on his own strength, which made him feel the weight on his shoulders.

Around 8:00 AM, Yue Ru's personal maid, Xiao Rou, knocked on the door. Ye Tianlong and his group were already prepared, while the Iceblood Ghost Clan men had quietly left an hour earlier.

"Good morning, Sister Xiaorou!"

Having decided to rely on Yu Yueru's power, Ye Tianlong treated his personal maid with great politeness. This greeting immediately brought a smile to the previously expressionless girl's face.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it..." Xiaorou walked up to Ye Tianlong, carefully examined him for a moment, then nodded, muttering to herself, "Not bad, barely passable."

"Passable what?" Ye Tianlong was completely bewildered, looking at the beautiful girl with confusion.

"It's nothing," Xiao Rou said with a laugh, then said to Ye Tianlong, "Come with me. All of you women, get into the carriages, and you'll act as the driver. Don't talk too much on the way; just follow the convoy." Ye Tianlong nodded quickly.

Xiao Rou led Ye Tianlong and the others to a middle-aged man of medium build and introduced him to Ye Tianlong, saying, "This is Jie Liang, the manager of our convoy. He'll assign you two more carriages."

Then she said to Jie Liang, "These are the dancers that Miss brought from out of town to learn. They're all newcomers; you can have them follow behind the convoy."

Facing Xiao Rou, Miss's personal maid, Jie Liang naturally agreed readily. He quickly arranged everything for Ye Tianlong and the others, and was very obsequious towards Ye Tianlong.

Later, Ye Tianlong learned that Xiao Rou had deliberately, seemingly by accident, revealed the secret to Jie Liang: that Ye Tianlong was a distant relative of Miss, and that he had personally discovered these new dancers, who would be very useful in the future.

As the shrewd and resourceful head of the caravan, Jie Liang naturally knew the potential investment value of this relative. Therefore, he chatted with Ye Tianlong frequently along the way, much to Ye Tianlong's amusement and exasperation.

However, Ye Tianlong, who listened more than he spoke, learned some things about Yue Ru from Jie Liang.

It turned out that Yue Ru had many dancers under her command, often forming teams of varying sizes to perform different shows in various countries across the continent. This made Ye Tianlong secretly wonder how Yue Ru, a woman who earned her living through performance, could support such a large workforce.

As they spoke, the imperial capital, Esnia, came into view. Naturally, people were already waiting outside the city. Upon seeing the large welcoming party in the distance, Ye Tianlong quickly shrank back slightly.

Yue Ru's status was indeed special; Yunaia had actually led a group of ministers to personally greet her outside the city. After a few simple pleasantries, the group entered Esnia in a grand procession.

In such a scene, Ye Tianlong naturally tried to stay hidden within the caravan, keeping his eyes fixed on the road ahead as the carriage entered the long acropolis passage.

Having survived two large-scale battles, the imperial capital of Fast showed signs of decline. Although the streets were still bustling with pedestrians, their faces had lost their former confidence and pride.

Some buildings damaged in the battles remained dilapidated due to incomplete repairs.

As they approached Sanssouci Palace, a troop of knights in gleaming armor passed by. At the leader's command, all the knights saluted Yuna.

Ye Tianlong knew they were the Tiger Cavalry of the City Guard responsible for guarding Sanssouci Palace. These men patrolled the palace day and night, making its defenses many times stronger than before.

Ye Tianlong's gaze swept over the troop of knights, then settled on the leader. Upon closer inspection, he was greatly surprised. This knight was none other than an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time—Gan Zongming, the former commander of a thousand cavalry under West Duff.

Seeing Gan Zongming turn his gaze, Ye Tianlong dared not look any longer and quickly turned away slightly. Although he was confident that Gan Zongming wouldn't see through his disguise, it was always better to be cautious.

After Yunaya escorted Yue Ru to the palace prepared for her, he took his leave. This was a palace complex consisting of five interconnected courtyards. Ye Tianlong and his companions were assigned to the last courtyard, and their room was in the far corner, practically inconspicuous.

"Tonight, Yunaya will be hosting a welcome banquet for us here. Be careful then, don't let them discover us."

Just after settling in, Xiao Rou came to Ye Tianlong's room and told him what Yue Ru had to say.

Ye Tianlong was overjoyed. With such an opportunity, he could immediately implement his plan to rescue Princess Qian.

Because the banquet here that evening would definitely attract everyone's attention, the guards of Wuyou Palace would also concentrate significantly in this direction, giving Princess Qian an opportunity to act.

"Everyone get ready, we'll start our operation tonight."

After Xiao Rou left, Ye Tianlong immediately called Yu Zhu and Cynthia over to begin planning the night's operation.
