Chapter Twenty-Three: The Situation of Northern Pride

Sima Zhan's eyes glanced slightly at Ah Pu's side, and then quickly took it back without saying anything.

He knew Ah Pu's special position in Sima Jingling's heart, so he didn't specifically point out what to say to Ah Pu and Sima Jingling alone.

It may be because the disappearance of the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom is indeed urgent and very serious.

Sima Zhan didn't go around in circles, so he directly talked to Sima Jingling,

"Here's the thing.

Some time ago, I made the decision to Prince Han and the princess of the Western Fan Kingdom, and let the two of them get married, and soon after this matter, I sent someone to the Western Fan Kingdom to deliver a letter.

There is no opinion on the side of the Western Fan Kingdom, and it is very friendly that they will send someone to take charge of this matter, and then send someone to the Southern Imperial Kingdom.

The matter was thus settled smoothly. Then, this morning, I received the news that the envoy who had come from the Western Fan Kingdom to think that the Prince Han and the Princess of the Western Fan Kingdom had disappeared. ”

"Missing?" Although Sima Jingling already knew that Sima Zhan was here for this matter, she still pretended to be surprised, "Where did you go missing, and among the missing people, are there people from the Western Fan Kingdom, are there people from our Southern Imperial Kingdom?" ”

Sima Zhan shook his head,

"They went missing at the junction.

According to the usual rules, envoys sent by exchanges between the two countries could be escorted by escorts sent by another country at the junction of the two countries.

And although our Southern Imperial Kingdom has always been friendly with the Western Fan Kingdom, we have always abided by this rule and have never broken it.

When our guards of the Southern Imperial Kingdom received the news of the departure of the envoys from the Western Tibetan Kingdom, they calculated the time and waited at the junction.

However, they waited left and right, and did not wait for the envoys of the Western Tibetan Kingdom, so they sent someone to contact the people of the Western Tibetan Kingdom again.

This connection, the problem is discovered.

The envoys did depart from the Western Tibetan Kingdom, and the post stations along the road also saw the traces of the envoys, but when they were almost at the junction, they disappeared.

Our escort and the army of the Western Fan Kingdom searched the vicinity for a long time for news of the envoys, but in the end they found nothing. ”

After Sima Zhan finished speaking, he looked at Sima Jingling with a blank eye, wanting to get some useful methods from Sima Jingling's mouth, it seemed that he was indeed beyond his ability and had to come to ask for help.

Sima Jingling didn't rush to solve her doubts, but kept knocking on the table in front of her, as if she was thinking about something.

She looked at Sima Zhan in front of her, who was obviously anxious, but had to pretend to be calm in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little fun in her heart.

However, Sima Jingling is still a little disappointed at this time.

According to her thoughts, the emperor of the Southern Imperial Kingdom, who was personally selected by her, must go through a series of tribulations before she can truly adapt to the battlefield that is about to open up all the world, so that she can let go of the restrictions in allowing the Southern Imperial Kingdom to join the battle of the whole world.

However, because of the suspected restless factor of Wei Lan, Nan Yuguo is likely to be involved in advance, which means that the requirements for Sima Zhan have skyrocketed.

If Sima Zhan can carry it, it will be fine, and after this matter is over, Sima Zhan will definitely have a good harvest.

But......

Sima Jingling secretly shook her head in her heart, feeling that although Sima Zhan at this time already had a few sharp fangs, he was still a little far from becoming a real wolf.

The emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom was stunned for a moment, and then saw the look of recognition in his son's eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

His own son, in some ways, is really not very frank.

obviously admired Prince Han very much, but he deliberately didn't praise Prince Han much because Prince Han snatched his favorite sister.

However, the emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom quietly looked at the prince in front of him, who had unconsciously grown into a talent, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little sad at the same time.

Such an excellent son, if he was in a peaceful and beautiful era, he would definitely be able to lead the Western Fan Kingdom to a further step, but unfortunately it is now in a very chaotic era.

The emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know how long the stable life of the Western Fan Kingdom could be maintained.

Seeing that his son was still coughing twice from time to time, but still deploying people to do all kinds of things, he couldn't help but say to his son:

"If you're not feeling well, go back and rest first, and leave the matter here to me."

The crown prince of the Western Fan Kingdom coughed and said "no" and "It's okay", signaling that the emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom did not have to worry about these things.

The emperor of the Western Tibetan Kingdom saw that he really couldn't persuade the prince of the Western Tibetan Kingdom, so he looked left and right, and asked them to directly force the crown prince of the Western Tibetan Kingdom to come over, and said to him:

"Okay, okay, I said that if you go back, you have to go back, I'm not too old to do anything, I'm very healthy now!"

"Father!" When the prince of the Western Fan Kingdom saw that he was being put up and was still struggling, he was frightened at the same time, and a thin layer of anger and shame appeared on his face.

Of course, his performance was also ignored by the emperor of the Western Tibetan Kingdom.

The crown prince of Xifan had no choice but to watch himself being taken away and taken back to his palace to rest.

And the emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom, after his son left, the warm smile on his face suddenly turned cold.

He unleashed the majesty that belonged to an emperor, and then summoned men and secretly commanded them:

"You stop a group of people, choose by yourself, and secretly infiltrate the Northern Proud Country.

Whether it is Wei Jing's side, Donglinguo's intervention there, or Wei Qi, the widow of the great prince of Beiao, who is trying to restore the orthodoxy of the Beiao royal family, should go to inquire about the news and prepare early. ”

The courtiers of the Western Fan Kingdom who were secretly summoned by the emperor did not ask why, and they also smelled something unusual from the case of the disappearance of the envoys.

They knew in their hearts that this was a major event related to the future fate of the Western Fan Kingdom, so they did not dare to slack off at all, and after receiving the order of the Emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom, they left directly.

The emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom sat quietly in the main hall, and he didn't know whose sigh it was.

Namgokuni Choraku Palace.

As soon as Sima Jingling and Ah Pu returned to the palace, they heard someone report that Sima Zhan would come to Changle Palace in a while.

Sima Jingling nodded, indicating that she understood, and then instructed Chun Tao to do a good job of receiving Sima Zhan, and then called Qiu Lan and some palace people to change their palace clothes for themselves and Ah Pu.

After they changed their clothes, Sima Jingling saw that Sima Zhan's chariot had not yet come, so she waved her hand and asked Qiulan to leave with the palace people first, and then pulled Ah Cheng to talk a little bit,

"As soon as the two of us entered the palace, Xiao Thirteen came over, and it seems that he did find a lot of eyeliner in the palace to keep an eye on our movements.

However, these are not a big deal, after all, no matter how Sima Zhan arranges his eyeliner, he can't arrange for me to come to Changle Palace, after all, this is all the remaining means for this palace to play.

Now, judging from the fact that he came to the two of us in a hurry, the disappearance of the envoy of the Western Fan Kingdom should be much more serious than we imagined. ”

Ah Pu nodded, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but a rare solemn look appeared on his face, and a very ominous premonition had been lingering in his heart.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of his thoughts, but he didn't expect that his appearance would completely fall into Sima Jingling's eyes.

Sima Jingling asked, "What's the matter, do you have any ideas?" ”

Ah Pu opened his mouth, thought about it, and finally told Sima Jingling the feeling that had been lingering in his heart,

"Ah Pu always felt that Wei Lan's handiwork was in the disappearance of the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom.

If this is really the case, then the peace that is maintained now may soon be broken, after all, Wei Lan has never done useless work, since he has already attacked the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom, it is natural to get some rewards.

In this situation, it is obvious what the rewards can be. It can only be related to the current situation.

Now that the Western Fan Kingdom and the Southern Imperial Kingdom are still out of the way, how can this be within Wei Lan's permission? ”

After Sima Jingling listened to Ah Pu's words, she felt that it was very reasonable.

Originally, the two of them had some speculation in their hearts, thinking that the disappearance of the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom might be the handiwork of other countries.

Now after some side proofs from Sima Zhan, it has been confirmed that this matter is more complicated than imagined, which proves that behind this matter, there is definitely a handiwork from Bei Aoguo.

One of the people who can do this, Ah Pu has never left his side, and the other person is Sima Jingling and Ah Pu, who have always been unpredictable, Wei Lan.

Wei Lan seems to want to turn the world upside down, regardless of it, but he seems to have unparalleled ambitions, and he seems to have a little idea about the position of the lord of the world.

At present, the affairs of the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom seem to confirm his ambition from the side.

Sima Jingling motioned to Ah Cheng to take this matter to heart first, don't make a noise or speculate too much, wait for a while to knock on Sima Zhan's side, and then finalize the result.

Apo nodded, and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

It was at this time that Chun Tao sent someone to inform Sima Jingling that Sima Zhan had arrived.

Sima Zhan glanced at Ah Pu, then opened the door of the palace and strode out.

Ah Pu obediently followed Sima Jingling's side and went to the front hall to see Sima Zhan.

Sima Zhan had already sat down in the front hall under Chun Tao's arrangement.

When Sima Jingling stepped into the front hall, she already felt the anxiety that was difficult to hide on Sima Zhan's body.

Sima Jingling narrowed her eyes slightly, then walked in front of Sima Zhan and said to Sima Zhan slightly:

"I've seen Your Majesty."

When Sima Zhan heard the voice, he hurriedly got up to greet Sima Jingling, with respect and admiration on his face as if he had seen Sima Jingling before, although the two of them knew to each other that there was something else hidden in it.

There was a little panic and worry in his eyes, and he said to Sima Jingling with a little anxiety:

"Why should the royal sister be like this. It's all their own people, so the royal sister doesn't have to be like this.

To tell you the truth, I came here this time because I wanted to ask for help from the imperial sister. ”

Sima Jingling nodded, with a slight smile on her face, and asked Sima Zhan:

"What's the matter?" Sima Zhan's eyes glanced slightly at Ah Pu's side, and then quickly took it back without saying anything.

He knew Ah Pu's special position in Sima Jingling's heart, so he didn't specifically point out what to say to Ah Pu and Sima Jingling alone.

It may be because the disappearance of the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom is indeed urgent and very serious.
