Chapter 562: The Imperial Expedition?

Qin Shuyao was so anxious, Huai Yanqing temporarily let go of the entanglement in his heart and listened to his report.

"The spies we sent to Zhou have sent news that the crown prince of Zhou has traveled from the capital to the nearest city to us."

The text message in Qin Shuyao's hand came from the frontier of the Zhou State.

The crown prince of Zhou actually came here in person, which shows the importance he attached to this war.

But Huai Yanqing noticed something strange.

The commander of the Yan State in the frontier is just a prince, and the Zhou State is not only the crown prince, but also several princes, many of whom are in charge of military power.

What kind of conditions, or temptations, forced the crown prince of Zhou to come here in person and confront their Dayan?

"Newspaperβ€”"

The scout who was originally on the city wall came to report: "Report to the prince, the military advisor, the prince of the Zhou Kingdom, actually personally led 3,000 troops towards Xianglin City!" ”

"What?" Huai Yanqing and Qin Shuyao spoke in unison.

"That Zhou Guo prince said that he wanted to see the prince!"

The scout added.

"If you only bring 3,000 people, then the prince of Zhou must not be here to fight, it is better for the prince to meet and see what he has to do."

Qin Shuyao suggested.

"That's what this king wants." Huai Yanqing stood up and tied the cloak on the table next to him back to his body, "Prepare the horse!" ”

"Since the crown prince of Zhou is willing to see this king to negotiate, then this king will give him a face." Huai Yanqing took his helmet and walked out, "Lest others say that my Dayan doesn't know how to entertain." ”

The news of the arrival of the prince's soldiers of the Zhou State in the city soon spread throughout Xianglin City.

Lin Jinxiu naturally knew the news, and she also deliberately asked what the situation was with the little guy next to the prince.

"The crown prince of Zhou said that he wanted to see the prince, and the prince just took a few people out of the city on horseback, so he should have gone to negotiate with him."

When the little guy saw Keqing coming to ask, he told her Huai Yanqing's whereabouts.

"Did you go out of the city...... Lin Jinxiu looked at the direction of the city gate to the north, the last war was fought there, although the result was a big victory, but the losses of the two sides were still not small, Lin Jinxiu felt a little afraid.

After so many days of peace, is it going to change again?

Speaking back to the north gate, the city gate turned down with the sound of hinges, the city gate was wide open, and I saw Huai Yanqing wearing silver armor and walking out of the city gate with his three hundred tiger army.

Treading Xue seemed to know what he was doing this time, and this tall horse proudly raised his head, full of spirit, and even more set off Huai Yanqing's demeanor as a general.

The two armies faced each other and stood still.

In the army of Zhou Guo opposite, Huai Yanqing saw Ning Ye's figure, but this time he was not the commander, but followed behind a man in golden armor.

The golden armor is only a color that the emperor himself can wear, but now it is worn on the prince's body, and none of the surrounding generals feel that there is anything wrong.

That crown prince of Zhou Guo looked about thirty years old, with a few beards, and a pair of eyes full of wisdom, but the eyes were staring at Huai Yanqing's body, which always gave people the illusion of a snake spitting letters.

"Lord, this prince seems to have changed a lot compared to the last time we saw him." Qin Shuyao whispered.

Huai Yanqing nodded.

"Lord Yan, don't come unharmed." The voice of the prince of Zhou Guo sounded gentle and gentle, not like a martial artist, but more like a scholar.

"A few years ago on the battlefield, you were just a hairy boy, and now you have grown to the point where you can be the commander of the three armed forces, which is really terrifying." When the prince of Zhou came up, he praised Huai Yanqing.

"And Mr. Qin, you haven't changed much, and you're as smart as before, this palace misses you very much!"

"Don't dare to be." Qin Shuyao immediately saluted the prince of Zhou State, "There is only one civil official in the lower ranks, and he is not even a third prince and nine kings, where can he inherit the love that the prince misses." ”

Huai Yanqing followed Qin Shuyao's words and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not harmed, seeing that you have not seen you for a few years and are still so wise and martial, this king will be relieved." ”

Since Huai Yanqing and Lin Jinxiu mixed together, the level of business blowing each other has been getting higher and higher, and it didn't take long for the prince of Zhou Guo to even have a trance that a few people were actually friends.

After a few more words, the few people finally began to get down to business.

"I wonder what the purpose of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is to come to see this king this time?" Huai Yanqing didn't want to waste time with him, so he went straight to ask, "Why ......?"

As he spoke, he swept the golden armor on the prince's body.

"Originally, my father wanted to drive the expedition in person, but unfortunately his old man was not in good health, so he asked the palace to put on his old man's armor, so that the soldiers in the frontier knew in their hearts that the palace and his father were thinking about them!"

The crown prince of Zhou looked in the direction of Qin Shuyao, and then looked behind Huai Yanqing, as if he was looking for someone, but he didn't find it after looking for a long time.

"As for what the palace came to do, a few days ago, Mr. Qin came to my city to ask for the withdrawal of troops, do you remember?"

The crown prince of Zhou Guo rolled his eyes, as if he was playing some ghost idea.

"Naturally, I remember." Huai Yanqing smiled with some sarcasm, since the prince of Zhou had already come to Xianglin City with his troops, he would naturally not retreat, and his attitude was clear at a glance.

As for what he said, he was going to fight for his father...... Huai Yanqing didn't know the truth, but he didn't believe it.

But that's their own business.

"Actually, it's not that this palace hasn't thought about it, it's good for you and good for this palace, but if you leave like this, after all, your Yan Kingdom is too bullying, no."

The tone of the crown prince of Zhou was very relaxed, and the horse under his crotch was also a good horse, and it seemed to be a fierce horse, quite restless.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to talk to the king about the conditions." Huai Yanqing said, "Why don't Your Highness bring a few people to my Xianglin City, this king invites His Highness to drink a few cups of tea, and we will discuss this matter slowly." ”

Before Huai Yanqing's words fell, one of the people beside the prince of Zhou Guo shouted angrily: "Yan Huaiqing, you are really good at calculating, if our Royal Highness follows you into the city, won't you be slaughtered?" ”

"Hey, hey." Who knows, before Huai Yanqing could say anything, the man was stopped by the prince of Zhou, "You can't talk nonsense." ”

"After all, Prince Yan's loyalty and righteousness are famous in several countries, even for the sake of his own reputation, Prince Yan will not use such an insidious method to deal with this palace."

The crown prince of Zhou still has a very good evaluation of Huai Yanqing's character: "Since the prince has the heart to invite, then this palace is better to obey his fate respectfully, go and drink two cups with the general, and taste how the tea of your Yan Kingdom compares to our Zhou Kingdom." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please." Huai Yanqing turned the horse's head and led the way for the prince of Zhou.

At this critical moment, not only Huai Yanqing and they would not act rashly, but the prince of Zhou naturally did not dare to do it.

He only brought 3,000 people here, which means that he has a certain nature of surrender, and he will not lose everything for the sake of the small profits in front of him.

Huai Yanqing took the prince of Zhou and the people around him all the way to the teahouse specially used to entertain guests in Xianglin City, and both parties left their guards outside, only taking the military advisor and their cronies, sitting at the tea table face to face.

The prince of Zhou looked quite leisurely and elegant, he looked around and asked Huai Yanqing: "If the prince has Yaxing, why don't we play a game." ”

"Okay." Huai Yanqing stretched out his hand to summon Xiao Er in the teahouse and asked him to put on a set of chessboards and chess pieces for them.

"The last time I came to the border between Yan and Zhou, it was before I heard that the prince was exiled." The crown prince of Zhou didn't look like he was here to negotiate with Huai Yanqing, but like he was here to travel, and finding old friends to catch up with old friends seemed to be his goal.

"Although there are important cities in this Xinjiang, they are not as prosperous as the capital, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital, but runs to this place where the people are not happy, and he really cares about the people."

Huai Yanqing still didn't give up his idea of talking about rainbow farts, stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and scolded him with a compliment, but he couldn't say anything.

"Yes, why did this palace come to this small city?" While the two were talking, the chess pieces had been spread out in a corner of the chessboard, and if they looked at the situation carefully, there was no sign of anyone suffering, and they were all laying out their own games, and they were all fine.

"I don't have any hobbies in my life, I just like to dance with knives and guns, or like to eat local food in various places."

The crown prince of Zhou was on the chessboard, but his eyes kept looking at Huai Yanqing.

Huai Yanqing naturally understood his hints, he clapped his hands and called the little guy in the teahouse, and asked him to make a few signature dishes casually for the prince of Zhou to taste.

"Hey, no, no." The crown prince of Zhou suddenly waved his hand.

"Don't worry." Huai Yanqing made a joke, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that this king is quite chivalrous, so naturally he will not poison the food." ”

The crown prince of Zhou Guo laughed twice after hearing this: "This palace naturally believes in Prince Yan, but ah, what this palace wants to try is a little special." ”

"Last year, an imperial chef beside the palace went to the territory of Yan for a special ingredient in your Yan Kingdom, but he happened to know a famous chef."

"Although I don't know the name of the famous chef, I know that it is a fairy-looking girl."

Speaking of this, the prince of Zhou suddenly changed into a mysterious look: "I heard the imperial chef say that the dishes made by that girl should only be in the sky, I don't know if the prince knows about it?" ”

A girl who looks like a fairy and cooks very delicious food, there are few people in the entire Yan Kingdom who can afford this title.

When the crown prince said this week, was he not alluding to Lin Jinxiu or what was he saying?

Huai Yanqing guessed that it should be Ning Ye who went back and reported Lin Jinxiu's news to the prince of Zhou State, which made them think about Lin Jinxiu.

"The king knows this." Huai Yanqing admitted.

"I heard that the girl is by the prince's side now, I wonder if the palace has a mouthful, can I taste the dishes made by that girl?"

The prince of Zhou actually stretched out his hand to the person beside Huai Yanqing, but his request was not excessive, he just borrowed you as a chef to cook two dishes for me.

Huai Yanqing is really hard to refuse.
