Now the eldest princess doesn't feel that she has lost completely, at least her power in the court is still there.

So she felt that as long as Qin Ming died, she would have a chance to come to the palace again, but she still had to be fully prepared.

Therefore, the eldest princess asked Mu Xian to contact the civil officials of her department in the court, if the island country asked for Qin Ming to be released, then no matter what, it could not compromise the requirements of the island country, so that Qin Ming would have no use value in the island country, and it would be strange if he did not die.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess nodded with satisfaction, thinking, this is really God helping her!

And, early the next morning~

Chu State, in the palace hall.

Only then did the Emperor of Chu receive a document from the prince of the island country.

After reading it, he had a calm face: "Qin Ming was really held hostage by the island country, although the document said that Qin Ming was very good in the island country, but not necessarily." ”

Since ancient times, how can hostages end well?

Below, the second princess spoke: "Father, I don't know what is the purpose of the island country holding Lord Qin hostage?" ”

"Qin Ming is the most important talent in my Chu State, and he is also the concubine of my third daughter, whether it is his ability or his contribution, it is very great for my Chu State. So the island nation must have a purpose in kidnapping him. ”

As he spoke, the emperor continued to look at the paperwork, his face a little gloomy.

After reading it, he took a deep breath and said, "The request of the island country is that I want a city in the mouth of the East China Sea. ”

"What?" The second princess frowned and said:

"Although it is only a city, it is on the coast of the East China Sea, and if it is given to the island nation, will they not be able to station their army on the island on land? I'm afraid, with good intentions! ”

The emperor nodded and said, "However, in exchange for Qin Ming, I am still willing." ”

Suddenly, the ministers below immediately discussed.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what conditions the island country proposes, we can't agree, not to mention, we still want a coastal city, let alone agree." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this wind can't be fueled, and you can't compromise with the island country for the sake of a Qin Ming! Besides, if he is given a coastal city, the island country will become a threat to the Chu state. The Cabinet Scholar also spoke.

At the same time, Prime Minister Zuo came out: "Your Majesty, the request of the island country is related to the safety of my Chu country, and the minister also feels that this matter cannot be compromised." ”

The emperor was furious: "Could it be that my Great Chu wants to trap the heroes of other countries and ignore them?" ”

Everyone below was silent, and the people present didn't want to trap the hero in danger and ignore it, but they didn't want to save Qin Ming, and they wished he was dead.

At this time, the second princess spoke: "Father, the son thinks that Qin Ming wants to save it, but the city can't be given."

The strength of the island countries cannot be underestimated, but because they are in the East China Sea, they do not pose much of a threat to us because of the sea barrier.

But once they are given an inland coastal city, then they can really threaten my Chu State! So, we had to think of the best of both worlds. ”

"Humph!" The Emperor snorted coldly and said:

"Isn't it because he dares to be so rampant on the island, no matter who wants to fight them, it will be very difficult to take advantage of them, how can I not know this truth? However, Qin Ming must be saved. ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that Mu Xian's eyes rolled, and he came out and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can send envoys to negotiate. If the talks are close, then it is best, and if they can't be talked, they will threaten with troops. ”

As soon as these words came out, many civil officials spoke up one after another to express their approval.

The emperor pondered for a while and said, "Then, who will go to this task?" ”

Prime Minister Zuo spoke: "Your Majesty, Mu Envy Gongzi is known as the first genius of my Chu State, his intelligence is of the highest grade, this task, the minister thinks it is very suitable to let him go!" ”

Mu Xian smiled, bowed down and said, "The Prime Minister is too famous!" ”

What about him. But he didn't want to save Qin Ming so well, because if he went to negotiate, then he would definitely talk to Qin Ming to death.

At this time, a cabinet scholar spoke: "Negotiating this kind of thing requires clever words, and the minister also thinks that it is appropriate to envy the prince." ”

The Emperor took a deep breath and finally shook his head.

He knew that the eldest princess's concubine Mu Xian had always been at odds with Qin Ming, negotiating? Isn't it more dangerous to interview Qin Ming?

So he rubbed his head with a headache and said, "Zhong Aiqing, is there any other way?" If it really doesn't work, then I can only send troops, and if he doesn't hand over people, I will fight until he hands over. ”

The emperor of Chu has always been unwilling to compromise, and he has always fought if he can.

This is also the reason why the surrounding countries are afraid of Chu.

And Emperor Chu understood that if he compromised, the island country might not let Qin Ming go.

And if it is an absolute threat of force, the other party will really be afraid.

At the same time, the emperor took a deep breath and thought to himself, hoping that under the absolute deterrence of the Chu State, the island country would make the right choice!

And a person like Qin Ming, in an island country, should be fine.

After all, in the Xia Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom, Qin Ming all retreated.

Thinking of this, the emperor was inexplicably relieved.

He suddenly felt that Qin Ming had gone to the island country, why should he worry? I don't know if this kid can't do anything.

In fact, Qin Ming was not only fine. It's still very laid-back at the moment.

On the East China Sea, on a luxurious ship, Qin Ming was eating fruit and basking in the sun with the sea breeze, not to mention how comfortable.

On the side, the beautiful maids gave him fruits, tea, massage, and took care of everything.

Where is this kidnapping, this is clearly a vacation!

A little more than a day later, the ship docked.

Qin Ming reluctantly got off the boat, looked at the beauties of the island country on the boat, Qin Ming said:

"Don't forget to go back and tell your prince that Lao Tzu will come back in the future."

After finishing speaking, Qin Ming started to hurry alone.

There is no way, the other people's boats can only be sent to the shore, and the next road can only be taken by themselves.

But luckily, he has a small motorcycle.

In the land of no man's land, he took out a small motorcycle and suddenly headed in the direction of the imperial capital.

Although he was in a hurry, Qin Ming was not in a hurry, he rested when he should rest, and in this way, it took more than two days to reach the outside of the imperial capital.

At this time, the genius has just dawned.

Qin Ming took the motorcycle, entered the city, and returned to his Qin Mansion.

As soon as he went back, the housekeeper was stunned, looked at Qin Ming and said, "Childe, are you back?" ”

Qin Ming said, "I'm back." ”

"Are you alright? I heard that you were arrested by the people of the island country? The old butler breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Ming smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

The old housekeeper said: "That's good, in the past two days, there has been a lot of rumors in the city, saying that you have been arrested, and the island country wants a coastal city before it will let you go." And the court is discussing every morning these days, and those ministers are talking about whether to save you. ”

Qin Ming frowned: "So there is still a good show to watch in today's early dynasty?" Butler, bring me my official uniform, and I will also go to the court to listen to the opinions of the ministers! ”
