"It's news from Ziling and Red Sleeves." Qiao Qiao said, looking at Leng Qinlan.

"What's wrong with them?" Leng Qinlan read the hesitation from Qiao Qiao's tone and expression.

That's not about whether Ziling Red Sleeves is in danger, but something else happens.

"It's the news from Ziling that the group of people you arranged in Xiliao was taken away by the King of Chu." Qiao Qiao stared at Leng Qinlan.

"Taken away?" Leng Qinlan pondered the word.

"Yes, Ziling said that she was forcibly taken away, and she wanted to report to Miss as soon as possible, but she was accused by the King of Chu, what the King of Chu did at that time was in the name of Ziling, and the rest of the people in Zixiao Palace didn't know the truth." Qiao Qiao glanced at Leng Zhuoheng, "At that time, when the young lady and the eldest prince met with the prince of Ping, Ziling was sealed by the king of Chu in the barrier not far away, and the barrier did not disappear until twelve hours later, and Ziling regained his freedom, and then he went to find the red sleeves first, and then the two of them worked hard in Xiliao without success before returning, for fear that the news would be robbed by the king of Chu again, Ziling postponed it a little before sending us the news." ”

Qiao Qiao's words came out, and Leng Qinlan was silent for a while.

Luo Chenfeng did too much to do this...... Zixiao Palace also dares to meddle! And it's making a fuss right under her nose.

If this matter was put on him when she first met Luo Chenfeng, she would definitely not be finished with him, and it would not be her Leng Qinlan's style of acting if she didn't find a chance to press back!

"Only sent back the news, what about the two of them now?" Leng Qinlan secretly adjusted her breathing and asked.

"I don't know." Jojo replied.

"What the hell does this guy want to do!" Leng Qinlan's fist smashed into his palm.

Leng Zhuoheng sat calmly on the chair, leaning against the back of the chair.

"Yes, what does King Chu mean by doing things behind his back!" Jojo was also dissatisfied.

"Tell Si Kai, we have arrived in Xiliao, so we will use Yonghua City as a base as planned, and then check the whereabouts of Ziling Red Sleeves, if the two of them fall into Luo Chenfeng's hands, don't pay attention to it." Leng Qinlan commanded.

"Don't bother?" Jojo asked.

"Yes, ignore him." Leng Qinlan also said it to Qiao Qiao accurately and clearly.

She turned a blind eye to this deliberate attempt to lure her to the hook.

"Yes." Following the usual instructions, Qiaoqiao didn't ask any more questions and retreated.

"Big brother—"

After Qiao Qiao left, Leng Qinlan turned to Leng Zhuoheng.

"You don't have to say anything, I will wait for the King of Chu to come back and ask for an explanation." Leng Zhuoheng raised his hand to stop Leng Qinlan's words.

Leng Qinlan bit her lip.

If that group of people has already fallen into the hands of Luo Chenfeng, there is a chance that they will not come back to the main control.

In the palace, the dragon hall.

He Minghui, the Grand Duke of He, who was invited back to the palace by the leader of the Dragon Guard, had already arrived from outside the palace.

"What does the emperor mean is that the old slave wants to take down the ghost-faced holy doctor?" After listening to the old emperor's words, He Minghui asked.

"I know it's hard to deal with the Ghost Face Doctor, but I need him now." The old emperor said.

"Then you have to have a careful plan." He Minghui said, "We must not cause dissatisfaction among the people in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes will be chaotic, and the court will be unstable." ”

"Jianghu, Jianghu, what is Jianghu?" The old emperor snorted angrily, "As long as it is in Eastern Chu, the rivers and lakes will also be my world!" ”

"That being said, those people ......" Of course He Minghui knew that the emperor was just angry.

Those self-sustaining and arrogant martial arts factions in the rivers and lakes, such as Mu Zhuang and the like, can only be maintained, not suppressed.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this from the brothers and sisters of the Leng family, otherwise I'm afraid it will be self-defeating." He Minghui paused, not afraid of the emperor's anger, and continued.

"Brother and sister of the Leng family, hum!" The old emperor snorted coldly again.

No matter how much reward Leng Zhuoheng was given, no matter how much he ignored Leng Qinlan's past, the old emperor's attitude towards the Leng family at this time was the most real.

"Leng Zhuoheng brought back a lot of things from Western Liao, and he made great contributions to conquering the palace of Western Liao, and promoted my reputation in Eastern Chu, and cooperated very well with the actions of the Eastern Chu army over there in Chenzhi, and this time it was indeed indispensable, but," the old emperor's voice changed, "That Leng Qinlan is really a troublemaker!" ”

"Yes, he was originally an inconspicuous mute, not only restored to normal, but also targeted by the Western Liao people." He Minghui pondered as he spoke.

"Leng Zhuoheng and Chen Zhi said the same, Tai Yixiao initially targeted Leng Qinlan at the Qixi banquet to deliberately cause trouble, and then took Leng Qinlan to Xiliao because he was frustrated in our palace, and he was unwilling to say that his words could not be realized, and the domineering King of Xiliao has never been a master who admits defeat, and he will not let go of anything big or small." The old emperor said.

"Does the emperor think these words are credible? Tai Yixiao's abduction of Leng Qinlan was just an accidental choice? He Minghui asked.

"Let's put aside Leng Zhuoheng first, how credible do you think Chen Zhi's words are?" The old emperor asked.

"Please forgive the old slave for his speculation." He Minghui bowed.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

The old slave believes that the words of King Ping Shizi can only be believed for seven points. Leaving three points is to guard against the prince's trip to Xiliao to the extent that he thinks it is worth hiding some things from the emperor, and among these things is the real reason why Tai Yixiao kidnapped Leng Qinlan. Of course, these three points may not exist at all, and it is the old slave who slanders the son. ”

"Well, you have to prepare everything with both hands, you're right." The old emperor nodded, expressing his approval of what He Minghui said.

The refusal to give Luo Chen a judgment was indeed to punish him for not following the holy will in such a major matter related to the two countries as the expedition to Western Liao, making his own opinions, and reminding everyone to take warning, and secondly, it was also to suppress Luo Chenzhi's power and prestige and cut off his limelight.

After all, Luo Chenzhi is different from Leng Zhuoheng, Leng Zhuoheng is just a courtier, and Luo Chenzhi is directly related to the power of the Ping Wangfu and its influence on the imperial power.

In addition, although Luo Chenzhi's attitude towards Leng Qinlan began to reverse again at the Qixi banquet, how much impact he was affected by going to Xiliao this time was the possible "three points" problem mentioned by He Minghui.

"That's it, Minghui, you first put on the most important plan and show it to me." The old emperor waved his hand tiredly.

The most important thing is naturally the matter of the Ghost Face Holy Doctor.

What if he is angry? Not to mention the entire martial arts, even if it is a Mu Zhuang, he has to give three points, not to mention that he still trusts the young master of Mu Zhuang so much.

In the past few months, relying on some strategies formulated by Mu Nandao, several civil disputes have been handled, and several policies that are popular with the people have been adopted, and the more peaceful prosperity of Eastern Chu has gradually emerged. There are also a few good ideas for filling the treasury, which is the support of the army.

For example, this expedition to Western Liao, fortunately, it relied on the grain of the soldiers stationed in Ling Fengchuan and the harvest in Western Liao along the way.

The old emperor knew very well how his treasury was, and Luo Chenzhi, who was the prince of King Ping, also knew it, so this battle must be decided quickly. Because even if this battle can be fought a few more, their reserves simply can't afford it.

"Yes, but the emperor, this is not in a hurry."

Compared with his younger brother He Mingli, He Minghui is a little more bold, and of course there is more hidden fierceness in his expression.

"Hmm."

The old emperor didn't reproach He Minghui for postponing the time, "Let's do it, I also know that it is not easy to set up a situation that hides from the world." ”

Even, he is not sure if there is a situation in the world that can completely hide from the world, and the only thing he can do is to postpone the time of being uncovered as much as possible.

"Does the emperor have a decision on the news from Xiliao?" He Minghui straightened up and asked.

In front of the old emperor, his back was not as deep as He Mingli's bend.

The old emperor leaned on the soft couch and hesitated for a while, "Tai Yixiao wants me to be responsible for the loss of Ling Fengchuan in Western Liao, hum!" ”

The old emperor's dissatisfaction can be heard from his snort, when has there been a demand that the defeated country should be held responsible by the victorious country? - Although the old emperor taught Luo Chenzhi a lesson, and the so-called making up for his mistakes did not allow Luo Chenzhi to get any benefit in this war, but in the bottom of his heart, the old emperor was still complacent and regarded himself as a victorious country, thinking that he had crushed Tai Yixiao once.

And Tai Yixiao was not so easy to crush, immediately after the second letter, the third letter was sent to the old emperor through secret channels.

"No, Ling Fengchuan was originally our Dongchu, and he has been lost for decades and finally recaptured, and he must not back down in this matter!" He Minghui said sternly.

"I know." Of course, the old emperor also knew it very well in his heart.

Who will spit out the meat that goes to their mouth?

This spit is not only that Eastern Chu is subservient to Western Liao, but it will also be the weakest among the four countries, and it will be ridiculed by the other two countries, if he really makes any foolish will, he, the emperor, will also be the most humiliating one.

"How is the emperor going to reply?" He Minghui asked.

"Twelve years ago, I lost my son, and four years ago, I lost Leng Boyuan and a cadre of soldiers, this battle, I didn't lose anyone, and I don't want to lose anyone again!" The old emperor's face was stern.

"The emperor mourns, some things are unavoidable." He Minghui bent down slightly.

"Ling Fengchuan, I will not back down, although I have not given Chen Zhi any credit, it is absolutely impossible for me to pull out the 'main envoy' who contributed to this battle to 'supply' Tai Yixiao!" The old emperor's hand slapped the armrest of the soft couch.

"If there is no indication to the Xiliao side, can the emperor be sure that he can afford it?" He Minghui asked worriedly.

"In the past ten years, I've had enough!" The old emperor's face turned pale, and he smashed the handrail again.

There was a "crunch", and the armrests of the soft couch broke in response.

He Minghui lowered his head without saying a word.

"I will reply to Tai Yixiao first, and then probe his tone." The old emperor thought for a moment.
