Chapter 259: Chen Xiao is back

The negotiating ministers of the Southern Xinjiang State have not realized one problem until now, that is, they have no right to speak!

Yes, not in the first place!

Chen Xiao didn't plan to give them the right to speak at all.

The so-called negotiations are nothing more than a formality.

Or to put it mildly, Chen Xiao simply called the negotiating minister of the Southern Xinjiang State to come over and meet his conditions.

This is not a negotiation, it is a unilateral demand!

The problem is, they can't help it yet!

Because as long as it is not as good as Chen Xiao's intentions, he will immediately lead the army towards the southern frontier country.

When the time comes, not to mention 20 million taels of silver and a city, even the entire Southern Frontier Country may also become the territory of the Dragon Kingdom!

Therefore, the ministers of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom knelt down directly, and they confessed!

So, Chen Xiao asked people to write a compensation assistance and truce agreement, and after the two sides signed, the matter was decided.

Chen Xiao asked them to take out 20 million taels of silver within three days, and asked them to withdraw the officials of a border city within ten days, and the officials of the Dragon Kingdom would be stationed.

After three days of waiting, several large boxes of silver arrived.

The silver included 20 million taels of indemnity and a ransom of 10,250,000 troops of the Southern Frontier State.

After confirming that it was correct, Chen Xiao was satisfied, and then in the barracks, after giving some explanations to the army, he prepared a good horse and asked five hundred soldiers to accompany him to escort the silver back to the imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

At this moment!

The Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom!

In the palace, the emperor said:

"This Chen Xiao, it's been almost half a month since the war, why hasn't a letter been sent back?"

The old eunuch said: "Xu is that the two sides have not yet started a war, so, Lord Chen, no, General Chen has nothing to report." ”

"Hmm...... You say, can he win this account? The Emperor asked.

The old eunuch thought seriously for a while and said, "You should be able to win." ”

The emperor sighed: "To be honest, I let Chen Xiao go, there is an element of gambling." After all, he was only twenty and had no combat experience, so he made him a general......"

"Your Majesty, I want to train General Chen well, so why I ......am so urgent," the old eunuch said.

The emperor was silent for a while, and then said:

"I like this kid very much, and he seems to be destined to have such a father-son relationship. Besides, what Jiu'er likes, I like. Jiu'er is sincere to him, and I naturally can't treat him badly! ”

The old eunuch smiled: "The old slave thought to himself, General Chen will not let you down." ”

"Hmmm......"

The emperor took a deep breath, still somewhat worried.

After a while, he said, "Call the third and fifth and seventh!" ”

"Your Majesty, this is ......," the old eunuch wondered.

Emperor: "Ring the alarm bell for them!" ”

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then left!

After a while, the three princes came dejectedly.

Among these princes, the seven princes, who were the most miserable at the beginning, now seem to be less miserable.

After all, the fifth child was also cheated by Chen Xiao, and now that the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom are at war, the five princes are still carrying the black cauldron!

The worst thing is the third prince, who has now become a prince outside, but he is not happy at all.

A prince who is destined not to be reused again, and still owes hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, what can he be happy about?

When they arrived at the imperial study, after the three of them saluted, the emperor glanced at them.

"All of them are depressed, what are you doing?" The Emperor frowned.

So, the three of them forcibly smiled, and the fake can't be fake!

"Father, I don't know why you called us here?" The Seven Princes spoke!

"The main thing is to call the two of them, and by the way, I will ask you to come too, just to tell you that Chen Xiao is fighting this time, you had better not do anything! Otherwise, I will not spare it! ”

After the emperor said this, the faces of the third prince and the fifth prince changed slightly, and the little ninety-nine in their hearts immediately disappeared.

The Seventh Prince was a little confused, thinking about these meanings.

Call yourself by the way? Are you not worried about provoking Chen Xiao at all?

Thinking about it, he really doesn't dare to provoke Chen Xiao now.

Because he decided, Chen Xiao was terrible!

"Chen Xiao is fighting a war now, to protect his family and defend the country, if you are still ignorant in this matter, if you are confused, hum...... I will not be spared! ”

After speaking, the emperor glanced at the three people!

All three bowed their heads and were consciously silent.

After a while, the emperor said, "All right, let's all go down!" ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, thinking, just call and say this?

Finally...... Who is the son?

In order to keep the son-in-law from being disturbed, call the three sons to warn?

After the three princes left the imperial study, they looked at each other and had nothing to say.

"I have to go back and ask my mother if I am my own...... You should go back and ask......"

The Seventh Prince said a word of owe a beating and drifted away!

The fifth prince shook his head and looked at the third prince.

"Brother Sanhuang, my father and emperor use Chen Xiao as an outsider so much, but he ...... It seems that he doesn't care about our princes, you say, what do you mean? The fifth prince asked.

The eyes of the three princes turned to the Nine Heavens Palace!

"Hmph, I think, it's still my father's partiality!" The third prince spoke.

The fifth prince also looked at the Nine Heavens Palace, and then nodded: "Not bad......"

After a pause, the fifth prince suddenly spoke: "Huh? Actually, we want to deal with Chen Xiao, isn't it...... Can you start with her? ”

The third prince frowned and looked at the fifth prince.

"Old Five, your idea is very dangerous!"

"I know, but Brother Third Emperor, my father is so partial to the Ninth Princess, and even to Chen Xiao, shouldn't we think about the problem?"

The third prince didn't speak for a long time, and finally, he looked at the Nine Heavens Palace.

"yes...... If there is no Xiao Jiu, then Chen Xiao, what is it? Father and Emperor will pay attention to Chen Xiao because of Xiao Jiu......"

Speaking of this, there was a crazy look in his eyes!

"Go to my house, let's discuss how to plan......"

The two left the palace quietly.

Back at the palace, the two discussed a plan to kill the Ninth Princess during Chen Xiao's absence from the imperial capital!

Anyway, they felt that Chen Xiao would definitely not be able to come back for a while and a half, and they felt that there was enough time to kill the Ninth Princess.

However, they didn't know that Chen Xiao was already on his way back!

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, Chen Xiao had already taken the soldiers to the outside of the imperial capital.

It's morning.

In the palace, in the main hall!

Civil and military officials are fiercely discussing various government affairs.

At this time, a minister was speaking: "Your Majesty, General Chen led the troops to fight for half a month, and there was no news at all, this ...... Isn't it too unconscionable? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, something is wrong, has General Chen not had any good news to report?"

"That is, even if this battle is not easy to fight, you should give a letter......

The ministers all began to target Chen Xiao, and their words were all dissatisfied.

The emperor frowned and was about to speak, but at this moment, a Praetorian Guard reported:

"Your Majesty, General Chen is back......"
