Not only that, but the bag of gems was also swallowed up. Aunt Qiao was trapped in the barracks for nearly half a month, and as the lowest captive, she suffered abuse and humiliation unimaginable by the children of the Qiao family every day and night. Until the day a week ago.

"I... That morning a week ago, that general was about to lead his troops to join the allied forces of the Underworld on the border of Xingyang City. He was going to take me with him, and on the way they had a dispute with the army from another border town over something, and the conflict intensified, and several men had already begun to fight. The general led his men to the place where the other party was stationed to find their general theory, and the people below seemed to have a long-standing grudge, and without their general, they suddenly started fighting, and the scene was very chaotic. I... I took advantage of the chaos to cut the hemp rope in my hand with the horse rope by the knife of the dead soldier on the ground, and I ran to Xingyang City, but fortunately they didn't pay attention to me...... But the general who guarded the gate refused to open the gate and let me in.

"I really had no choice, and I couldn't prove my identity, so I could only go along the city wall, starving, after two days, there was no food, almost no water, and I walked to Liuyang City, which is not part of the front line, and the control here is not as strict as that of Xingyang City. Their generals saw that I was pitiful, and finally let me in after begging and pleading.

"I relied on begging all the way, and every day I didn't dare to stop and rush to Blackwater City, passing through two cities from Liuyang City, and being closely censored in Daya, and finally returned to Blackwater City two days ago.

"When I first came back here last night, I couldn't believe I was back in Blackwater. My mind was in a strange state, dazed, and I couldn't speak clearly. I just want to find my Joxin. I felt a gut feeling that told me that you were in the palace, and I got into it in a daze, and yesterday's incident happened. ”

The family affection between mother and daughter, whose blood is thicker than water, pointed out Qiao Xin's direction to Aunt Qiao when she couldn't find her way home. Everyone's emotions were extremely complicated, and no one spoke for the time being. The sobbing girl didn't make any more noise. Qiao Liangyan turned around, paced slowly, and walked back to the main seat.

The moment he turned around, Qiao Xuebin, the eldest in the field, Qiao Xuebin, who watched Qiao Liangyan grow up, saw an expression on Qiao Liangyan's face that he had never seen before. This is anger in calmness, resoluteness in coldness.

"My uncle's misfortune is due to the mysterious death of the seafarers of the island that I have forgotten my hometown, which has prevented the merchant ship from sailing home normally, and this is a matter of fate, and I am deeply saddened by what happened to my uncle, as you are. However, the incident of the Forgotten Island is something that none of us could have foreseen and cannot explain now. However, what the Underworld Guardian did to you, Auntie, trampled on the dignity of my Qiao family. I absolutely can't stand this!"

Qiao Liangyan slapped the table in front of him and said firmly. "I decided to write to Zhenglang immediately. Now that the front line is in a stalemate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take the initiative to attack on the grounds of what happened to our Qiao family, or secretly transfer the army to the vicinity of Baichun Sea, work together to besiege Huangchun City, and make a powerful counterattack, so that this group of barbarians will know that any family in our Qinshan Kingdom has a temper!"

"This matter is a private matter of my clan, and I don't plan to discuss it with the people of the Menke Mansion again. Do any of you have any objections or suggestions on this matter?"

Qiao Liangyan stood in front of the table and asked in a deep voice.

The surrounding children of the Qiao family were still immersed in the atmosphere brought by Aunt Qiao, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. And at this time, Qiao Zhenglang and Qiao Mingyan, who had a lot of communication with the prince, had both gone to the front line, and among the younger generation, they didn't know much about the prince's affairs. Only Qiao Yin, the second sister of Qiao, who was married to Liu Jingfan, opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. The rest of the Qiao family children nodded silently.

"Young Master Qiao, can I say a few words?"

Qiao Liangyan's sharp gaze found the owner of the voice, and he barely squeezed out a smile, "Of course Miss He can express her opinion." When I invited you to this conference, I didn't treat you as an outsider. ”

Qiao Xuebin, who had never been interested in these things, raised his head in surprise and looked at He Yue, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Based on the current situation, I don't think it's better not to disturb Your Highness with this matter. First of all, it is very important to note that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusted the task of purchasing the gems to Aunt Qiao, and no matter what happened, the gems were indeed not able to be brought back. If the letter pointed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as he opened his mouth, he would definitely be very uncomfortable. Even if Qiaofu is not held accountable, trust in you may be reduced. Moreover, the situation of the war on the front line must be unpredictable, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have his own plans. He Yue stood up and said as naturally as possible.

Qiao Liangyan looked at her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise an angle, which was meaningful. After He Yue finished speaking, everyone in Qiao's Mansion fell into silent thought again. Actually, she has a lot of sense. Qiao Liangyan thought about it, and then said, "Miss He has a point. However, there may be one thing you don't understand, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an extremely protective person, and it has always been good for my house and the East Palace to intersect. As far as I know, Your Highness is a person who will listen to his feelings and make decisions in this kind of matter. Your suggestion is good, I'll consider it. However, this matter must be made clear to the crown prince, and what the Underworld has done to the nobles of our Qiao Mansion must also be recovered!"

Aunt Qiao sat in the middle, and after listening to Qiao Liangyan's words, she was still expressionless and sat blankly. After the events of this month, her emotions have gradually faded.

Even if he can get justice, can he get his husband's life back?

"Second sister, you have worked hard to take care of the fifth sister and aunt in the past few days, and the others, if you have any thoughts on this matter, you can come to me. Another point, after sending the letter to Zhenglang, I will send a person to the front line in person to plead guilty to His Highness for the matter of the precious stones. If the eldest brother can come back in the next few days, I will invite him to go. If you can't come back, make another decision. As Miss He said, after all, we didn't handle the matter well, and a sincere apology must not be missing. But the justice of our government must also be taken back!

Everyone left the lobby in no idea what mood they were in.

Zheng Ergou Heyue's words, he went out of the house early in the morning to go to the border pass of Heishui City, and tried to find a way to find a way to find Zhang Banlei.

He Yue has nothing to do, and she doesn't worry about Qiao Xin. followed Qiao Yin to Qiao Xin's bedroom to take care of their mother and daughter. After listening to the ins and outs of the whole thing, she always felt that this "Forgotten Island" was the biggest suspicion of the whole thing. When Aunt Qiao calmed down, she tried to ask her to tell a little more about the people of the Forgotten Island. But Qiao's mother didn't want to mention everything that happened after she got on the boat. In the end, Qiao Yin also advised her not to ask again, and to stop dwelling. This matter is the ugliness of Qiaofu's family, and I can only hope that Qiaofu and the prince can investigate this matter clearly.

He Yue looked at Qiao Xin, who was lying on the bed, covering her head with a cup, and occasionally sobbing in a low voice, and Aunt Qiao, who had been sitting aside, and a deep sense of frustration welled up in her heart.

.......

"Do you think there's anything special about this Wasted Spring City, can we touch it?"

Walking out of the lobby, a man dressed in red and wearing an official hat was already waiting for Qiao Liangyan outside. Seeing him come out, two guards stood behind them, and Qiao Liangyan and the man walked quickly to the rooms where Qiao Shifan worked before. Now this is the place where Qiao Liangyan works for the time being.

Walking into a room, Qiao Liangyan sat down, sighed, took the pen and paper on the table to him, and asked the man in red while slowly studying the ink.

"Childe, it all depends on how His Highness and the Emperor of Hades discuss. And it is very likely that something will change, because at present, I heard that there is a lot of disagreement between the high priest of Hades and the Hades Emperor, and above the court, the two major forces are in a-for-tat situation. If the situation in the underworld changes, it will affect the whole body. Our plans are also going to change now.

His Highness has sent a few of us to Qiao's Mansion to help you deal with your affairs, and I feel that I have to tell you the truth. At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may make moves on the front line at any time. It's better not to bother him with such things. That Miss He is right, it's better not to take the matter of Wasted Spring City to heart!"

Qiao Liangyan sneered, picked up the pen on the paper and began to draft the letter. "Do you think so too? I think that since His Royal Highness and the Emperor of the Underworld are now in this kind of relationship, they can't just make money and not lose money, right? In the next aunt, is it the same concept as those ordinary people in the market? She is a nobleman of Heishui City and Qinshan Country. Anyway, that Wasted Spring City will definitely pay the price for me!"

"Besides, aren't the two sides at war? Since it's going to be a scene, it's better to play it realistically. To put it bluntly, after the Great Qin River and Mountains are in the hands of my lord, the Underworld will always be a threat. Unplug this Wasted Spring City first, we have enough reasons to do so. Master Zhang, you don't have to persuade anymore. I'm here to hear some advice from you. I didn't come to you to persuade me. ”

"Since Childe has made up his mind, I'll say a little bit. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want to spend money on useless people. Moreover, the matter of His Majesty's seventy-second birthday has long been spread in the palace, and several princes who compete with each other hope to play this role. It's useless to just send your eldest brother to plead guilty. To put it bluntly, you have betrayed the trust of the prince, and you also know his character, he does not like to listen to excuses and explanations. So, if you want to write to the past, you have to be prepared to make up for the loss. ”

Qiao Liangyan put down the brush in his hand, touched his chin and thought about it. "That's right, but it's not a trivial matter that bothers me. In the next self-owned channel, I found treasures that were a hundred times more precious than the so-called homecoming island gems. It just may take a little time and effort. ”

Master Zhang showed a puzzled look, "Childe, is this true?"

Qiao Liangyan continued to bury his head in writing, and said, "Personal secrets, it's inconvenient to reveal them to adults." Thank you for your understanding. ”

He remembered that day three years ago, Sen Dao sent the glittering divine stone to Qiao's Mansion in a gold box. The so-called five-colored mending stone relics are such a sacred object. When Sen Dao first came to him, he promised that as long as he listened to him and played his role well, the Dao Fairyland would definitely try its best to meet his needs.

And now, he is determined to ask the prince to teach this barren spring city a lesson. If you want to prepare treasures for Your Majesty, you plan to discuss it with Master Mori Dao.

Master Zhang shook his head, sighed, and walked out.

An afternoon passed, and Qiao Liangyan completed two letters in the office and called Master Zhang again.

"My lord, tomorrow I would like you to go to the Dayadu Mine to find my eldest brother, give him this letter, and ask him to go to the front line and plead with the prince as the letter says. Another letter asks you to send someone to the hands of the sixth brother Qiao Zhenglang, so that he can find a way to explain the matter clearly to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There is also this letter, let the eldest brother bring it to His Royal Highness. It has my promise that before Your Majesty's birthday, I will be able to get a treasure comparable to the gemstone of Homecoming Island. ”

Master Zhang took the three beautifully packaged letters, hesitated for a moment, and still asked with some concern, "Childe, are you sure that you are sure?" Or should we put this matter aside for a while and just let the eldest prince go to the front line to ask for guilt, right?"

Qiao Liangyan got up, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I am absolutely sure that I dare to bother the prince at this time." Sorry for your help. ”

Master Zhang sighed and nodded, "Since Childe must do this... Prepare your horse and set off now. ”

After writing three letters in one go, and disposing of a major event. Qiao Liangyan ate in his bedroom. It was getting darker, and he closed the ancient book he was reading. Step out the door and take a walk in the backyard.

Today's Qiaofu is exceptionally quiet. In the small garden in the backyard, only he and the two guards behind him followed. Qiao Liangyan paced slowly, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. The experience of acting for the old man in the office these days also made him feel very tired, and he also deeply felt the difficulty of the old man over the years. How rare it is to finally have a leisure time to be able to be alone in the garden for a while.

But soon, his good mood was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps in the hallway outside the backyard. He looked back and saw that it was another minister sent by the prince who was dressed in a red robe and hat, with an excited expression and hurriedly walking towards him.

"Master Li, what's the matter?"

"Childe, something big has happened on the front line! It's completely out of the control of His Royal Highness the Prince!" As soon as the visitor saw him, he hurriedly gasped twice, and what he said immediately made Qiao Liangyan nervous.

"How... Take a break and speak slowly!"

"Just at dusk, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone back to report the situation. Just this morning, the troops stationed on the border of Xingyang City had already been confronting us for more than ten days. In the morning, a sudden and violent assault was launched. In this battle, the casualties on both sides were more than 1,000! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and most of the allied troops of the imperial court were stationed dozens of miles outside Xingyang City, and when the advance troops arrived, they saw that a large group of shirtless barbarians had already rushed to the upper floor of Xingyang City. Before the reinforcements arrived, it was once again thanks to General Xing Lun who took the lead and resisted desperately, so that the surprise attack was not successful. But the castle tower was already full of dead people, and half of the hundreds of elites sent from the Eastern Realm stationed near Xingyang City were killed in battle. After seeing the reinforcements led by General Pei, the country of Hades retreated urgently and retreated to its original position. ”

"But this time, a messenger was sent soon after the Stygian coalition army collected its troops. General Pei received him in Xingyang City and General Xing. He gave the reason for the raid. I don't know if it's true or not, but I put all the blame on our heads!"

"Could it be that something is really wrong with the underworld...... Tell me, why are they raiding?"
