Chapter 65: Extortion

"Tsk, don't talk about getting dark, it's just noon, it's good if he can hold on. There are already a lot of poisons in the Misty Forest, and with the guidance of blood, it is strange that he is not gnawed only bones. Jiutian Suzaku said, sitting and waiting to watch the excitement.

Su Nuo'er ignored her, and just returned to the bamboo forest, Nian Xia and the others were already busy cleaning up the house.

"Miss, where have you been?" Nian Xia hurriedly came over.

"It's okay, I'll just walk around the neighborhood." Su Nuo'er smiled, and saw that Su Mo was chopping bamboo with the guards, and also went over to help.

"What do you do with so much bamboo?" Su Nuo'er asked.

Su Mo said: "In the short term, we can't leave here, cut some bamboo to make some tables and stools, and we can also make water pipes and bowls." ā€

Su Nuo'er's eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, brother, do you know that there is a weapon called a crossbow arrow?" ā€

"Crossbow bolts? What is it? Su Mo shook his head, he really hadn't heard of this kind of weapon.

"That's it." Su Nuo'er drew a sketch directly on the ground, explaining while drawing, "The bow and crossbow are combined, the range is longer, and the impact is greater, and the one I painted has transformed their respective shortcomings, and it is lighter to use, and ordinary women can use it, both combat and self-defense." ā€

Looking at the sketch on the ground that seemed to be a bow and a bow that he had never seen before, Su Mo asked with some uncertainty, "Do you want to build this weapon for our people to use?" ā€

"Yes, that's what it means!"

"But what about the materials? We don't have craftsmen either. Su Mo spoke out about their difficulties.

Su Nuo'er bit her lip, "Huailiang Country is rich in weapons, as long as we have money, don't worry." ā€

"I'm afraid that silver won't be enough." Su Mo shook his head.

Su Nuo'er suddenly smiled: "Soon there will be silver, not only silver, but also gold, wait!" ā€

"This-" Su Mo looked at Su Nuo'er's figure walking away and stopped talking, barren mountains and mountains, where did the gold and silver come from?

And on the other side, Cheng Anguo, in the palace.

Mess. 35xs

The woman who was stunned by Su Nuo'er woke up and saw the note in her hand, only to know that the emperor had been kidnapped and taken away!

"Woo woo I don't know anything, I was stunned, I woke up and found this, I don't know anything else." The woman who was sleeping was still wrapped in a quilt, shivering and shrunk into the bed, crying profusely.

"The Misty Forest?" The first to arrive was the newly sealed Guifei Zhiyuan, and the hand holding the note trembled slightly, "The emperor has been taken to the Misty Forest!" ā€

As soon as the words "Misty Forest" came out, the faces of the people in the dormitory changed.

"What should I do? Once you enter the Misty Forest, you're going to die! Hearing this, the concubine Liu Qianqian cried, "Your Majesty! Who will save the emperor! ā€

"Cry what cry!" Zhiyuan couldn't get used to Liu Qianqian's pretentious appearance, and reprimanded, "The emperor is being kidnapped now, what's the use of you crying?!" ā€

"You! I'm worried that the emperor will also take care of you?! It's you, the emperor was kidnapped, not only is he not in a hurry, but he doesn't allow others to be in a hurry, what do you mean? Liu Qianqian did not show weakness.

"Instead of crying here, it's better to think about how to save the emperor, useless things!" Zhiyuan shook his sleeves and said angrily, "Come on, Concubine Liu is tired, take her down." ā€

"I am also a concubine, why are you pointing fingers at me? I'll see who dares to touch me! Liu Qianqian pushed away the approaching palace maid and glared at Zhiyuan, "An Zhiyuan, don't kick your nose in the face, see if I'm a bully!" ā€

Zhiyuan turned his face away, unwilling to mess with her. "As a noble concubine, you don't have a virtuous and virtuous appearance, you make such a big fuss, you want everyone to know that your Liu family is not educated, right?"

Father-in-law Huai, who was waiting for An Jiuchen in the palace, hurriedly rounded the field: "Don't quarrel with the two mothers, the urgent thing now is to rescue the emperor." Concubine Liu, you're tired too, so let's go down and rest. "Gonggong Huai has been in this palace for decades, so he naturally knows which is more important, the favored An Guifei and the disgraced Liu Guifei, besides, the An family has been very valued recently, so he is naturally not easy to provoke An Guifei. As he spoke, he glared at the palace maid next to him, and the palace maid understood, and forcibly helped Liu Qianqian out.

"You dogs look down on people and low-level minions, hold high and step low, look at me Liu Qianqian is not favored, right, all of them are stammering that vixen, I tell you, I ......"

Liu Qianqian's angry scolding finally moved away, and the dormitory returned to quiet, and everyone looked at An Zhiyuan, waiting for her to make an idea.

An Zhiyuan looked at the words on the note and said, "Go and prepare, even if the treasury is emptied, you have to rescue the emperor." 35xsā€

Father-in-law Huai hurriedly bent down in response, watched An Zhiyuan walk out, and then straightened up, and glanced at the note on the table with a meaningful look.

A little eunuch approached behind him, seemed to be puzzled, and asked, "Master, after all, it was Concubine Liu who was canonized first, how did you do it?" ā€

Gonggong Huai glanced at him: "Let's just say that you are stupid, think about it, the Su family in the General's Mansion has fallen, who is left?" ā€

"Prime Minister's Mansion Xia Family." The little eunuch still didn't understand, "But what does this have to do with Master, you supporting Concubine An?" ā€

As soon as he finished asking, he was hit on the head. "Oops!"

Huai Gong said: "For many years, the Xia family of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Su family of the General's Mansion have checked and balanced each other, maintaining the stable situation of our Anguo, but now that the Su family of the General's Mansion has fallen, the emperor can only support an obedient family in order not to let the Xia family dominate, and An Guifei's mother's family is the obedient family that the emperor needs, so the emperor chose An Guifei and chose the An family." ā€

The little eunuch suddenly realized, patted his head, and said ashamedly: "The master still understands it, but I am too stupid." ā€

Gonggong Huai sighed, his eyes were a little deep: "You still have too few things, in this palace, you have always heard only the newcomers laughing, not the old people crying." If you don't want to be trampled underfoot, you have to climb up by yourself, and you also have to learn a little, Master, when I am gone, you have to rely on yourself to survive here. Those who know the times are junjie, remember, don't follow the wrong master. ā€

The little eunuch nodded as if he understood, and when he saw that the master's face was heavy, he lowered his head and didn't ask any more questions.

The conditions on the note were simple and crude: 100,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, hundreds of precious medicinal herbs, and thirty carriages. At the end, the note finally wrote: If you want An Jiuchen to live, prepare these things, and if you miss one, just wait to collect the corpse!

This is clearly aimed at extortion.

An Zhiyuan went to his mother's house and discussed with his father.

"In any case, I have to send more people to follow me to the Misty Forest, this is a good opportunity, if we succeed in saving the emperor, we will have the merit of saving the driver, and the day of soaring is just around the corner." An Zhiyuan looked at the bright nails on his hands and said coldly.

An Sheng stood aside and said respectfully: "Yes, listen to Niangniang's orders." ā€

An Zhiyuan's eyes were cold, "Although I am a concubine, my father doesn't have to be so respectful, so as not to let others see me, and besides, I An Zhiyuan doesn't understand benevolence and filial piety." After a pause, "Forget it, let's go get ready, and set off for the Misty Forest in a moment." ā€

An Sheng hurriedly responded, and didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead until he walked out of the front hall.

Madame hurriedly greeted her, and said with a distressed face: "What is that great god doing again?" Look at your sweat, isn't it ...... again"

"Shhh, you can be quiet, that's our daughter, the current concubine Niangniang, how can she talk nonsense behind her back?" An Sheng hurriedly stopped her words, sighed and said, "I'm going to send troops to the Misty Forest in a while, you just stay at home honestly, don't provoke her, when will she leave, you come out again, go back to the room quickly." ā€

Madame was reluctant and reassured, "But ......"

"Don't do it, go back to your room and stay." An Sheng called the maid to help his wife down, and he wiped the sweat from his head again and went to count the number of people.

Prime Minister's Office.

"Father, what's wrong? Why do you want to go out all of a sudden? As soon as Xia Yan came out of the courtyard, he saw a neat team of people standing there in full gear, with Xia Zhuofeng standing in front of him, his face was very serious.

Xia Zhuofeng waved his hand: "Let's go." ā€

The guards immediately set off, and Xia Zhuofeng said, "There is an accident in the palace." ā€

"Palace? Emperor? Xia Yan guessed. Just now, I heard from the maid that the general's mansion An Jia also dispatched a lot of horses, and now Xia Zhuofeng is also going to send troops out, and only if An Jiuchen has an accident will there be such a big battle.

Xia Zhuofeng suddenly looked displeased: "Go back to your room, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ā€

"What my father taught me was that Yan'er knew her mistakes." Xia Yan lowered his eyes and watched Xia Zhuofeng leave.

"Miss, what are you going to do, sir? With so many people, you won't go to war, right? The maid behind him asked in a low voice.

Xia Yan frowned, isn't An Jiuchen going to encircle and suppress Nuo'er and them?!

"Quick, go and call Bai Yu." Xia Yan was afraid that his conjecture was true, so he hurriedly asked the maid to call Bai Yu.

"What's wrong with me?" Bai Yu also heard the movement and came to see, not wanting Xia Zhuofeng to take someone away, and when he heard Xia Yan looking for him, he came over.

Xia Yan grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously, "Is there any way you know where Nuo'er and the others are now?" I'm worried that this time the An family and our family are in such a big formation, and they are going to Nuo'er and them. ā€

Bai Yu shook his head, his expression a little gloomy. "I've tried everything I can, but I haven't been able to get in touch with them. Unless, let's go find it ourselves. Or follow your father and you will find it. ā€

"So what are you waiting for, let's go now!" Xia Yan said anxiously.

"Since you're worried about her, let's go together." Bai Yu nodded.

The maid was anxious: "Miss, this can't be helped, it's so messy outside, if you ......"

"Oh, it's too late to worry about this, you go back to your room, someone came to me and didn't see me, you know?" Xia Yan instructed and looked at Bai Yu with expectant eyes.

Bai Yu hugged her waist and flew away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, following unhurriedly behind Xia Zhuofeng's team.

Halfway through the An family and the Xia family to reconcile, but the An family was led by An Zhiyuan and An Sheng, in addition to the heavily armed men and horses, there were also thirty carriages, and it could be seen that the carriages must be full of things, and the team was a little slow.

An Sheng and Xia Zhuofeng rode horses in front to discuss countermeasures, and both of them were full of sorrow.

Because in their opinion, as long as they enter the misty forest, no matter what, there is only one ending, and that is death.

But now, they not only have to enter the misty forest, but also negotiate terms with the kidnappers who don't know the details.

"Brother An, what is it in your carriage?" Xia Zhuofeng finally couldn't help but ask.

An Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the opportunity to glance at An Zhiyuan's face behind him, and saw that her face was the same, so he said with confidence: "Here are the things that the kidnapper wanted, gold, silver, medicinal materials, and these carriages." ā€

"This time it's a bit dangerous, where would ordinary people know about this place in the Misty Forest, but this kidnapper asked us all to go in, and eighty percent of them are nine deaths." Xia Zhuofeng sighed again.

Since the fall of the Su family in the General's Mansion, it is said that he should breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that things would become more and more difficult, one by one.
