Chapter 314: The Emperor Is Missing
Tuoba Hongyu returned from completing the mission, and the Beimeng Emperor looked at him even more highly, he didn't know the small actions that Tuoba Hongyu did behind his back, so he admired him very much for signing an armistice agreement with Da Ling.
After all, at this time, it also takes the ability to block the unstoppable spirit of the Great Bullie. If he was in the position of Da Ling, he would not stop fighting, and he would definitely take advantage of the victory to take the city.
Therefore, Tuoba Hongyu completed the task excellently, which greatly surprised him, and he was naturally very happy.
Yan Nanhao stayed in the border city for five days, and because he missed Concubine Yun and the little prince, he was ready to return to the Daling Imperial City with the army.
Unexpectedly, something happened the night before.
Yan Nanhao disappeared inexplicably.
At first, Father-in-law Hong found that something was wrong, and the emperor would usually handle official business until the third watch, and then go to bed. Even when he came to the border city, he still maintained this habit.
However, Gonggong Hong waited outside the door of the emperor's bedroom at the third watch, waiting for the summons, but there was no movement.
After waiting for about half an hour, he was a little worried, and knocked lightly on the door a few times, wanting to remind the emperor that he was going to bed, and he couldn't stay up late anymore, it would hurt the dragon body.
But Yan Nanhao still didn't move. Gonggong Hong didn't dare to knock on the door again, for fear that the emperor would blame him and disturb him to handle official business.
So, he could only wait outside the door, and after waiting for another half an hour, there was still no movement, and this time he was even more worried, and knocked on the door again, but there was still no response.
Gonggong Hong then had the courage to gently push open the door, you must know that Yan Nanhao had commanded a lot, and when he was dealing with the chapter, he must not disturb it, otherwise he would be decided, even Gonggong Hong and his chief internal manager could not be an exception.
At this time, he had to push open the door because he was worried about Yan Nanhao.
But he found that the room was empty, and the emperor was nowhere to be seen. Gonggong Hong couldn't help but be shocked, and asked in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, have you slept?" ”
The emperor still didn't respond, he was bold again, came to the inner room, and found that the emperor was not there.
couldn't help but be frightened, except for the dormitory, where else could he go at such a late hour?
However, Gonggong Hong was the chief manager of the inner house after all, he did not shout in a panic, but quickly came to Ning Shangmo's room, opened the door, and told her that the emperor was gone.
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, at this time, she had already fallen asleep.
So he got up in a hurry with Ming Qingyan, came to the outer room, and asked Gonggong Hong what happened, why did the emperor disappear?
Gonggong Hong told them what happened just now, Ning Shangmo couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding after hearing this, she forgot to take a look at Ming, and saw that his face was also dark, and he knew that he thought the same as her.
So he said anxiously, "What now?" Could it be that the emperor was kidnapped? ”
Ming said in a deep voice: "Don't make a noise for now, so as not to make people panic, let's look for it first, and then make plans when we are sure of our disappearance." ”
Gonggong Hong nodded and responded: "This is very good, the Sprinkle family is looking everywhere." ”
Ning Shangmo nodded and said to Ming lightly, "Let's look around too." ”
So the two also broke up, and an hour later, the three of them returned disappointed and did not find the emperor.
Ning Shangmo was sure that the emperor must have disappeared and been arrested.
She asked Ming to wake up Leng Qing Rong Mobai with a light speech, and she went to find Yun Yishu Hua Lanyao.
Soon everyone gathered in the council chamber to discuss the matter.
Everyone slept hazy, and no one thought that the emperor would disappear inexplicably. Although the border city has just returned to Da Ling's hands, this city originally belonged to Da Ling, and there should be no opposition to the emperor.
Leng Qingrong asked with some concern: "It can't be the people of Beimeng who did it, right?" ”
Ning Shangmo shook his head, with her understanding of Tuoba Hongyu, he had just left the border city, and he had a good conversation with the emperor, no matter what aspect it was, it was impossible for him to have such a villainous behavior.
"It's not from Beimeng, and I can't say who it is."
"How can you be so sure? What if the Emperor of Northern Mongolia secretly sent someone to do it? Ming lightly said that he put forward a different opinion.
Ning Shangmo still shook his head and explained: "Now that the Emperor of Beimeng is so important to Tuoba Hongyu, and he also agrees that he will sign an armistice agreement with me Daling, how can he go back on his word." Although he is belligerent and has been spying on my territory, after all, he is a king, so he naturally will not be so despicable, treacherous, and provoke war again. ”
When Ming heard this, he spoke no more.
"Will it be Xiliang?" Yun Yishu asked tentatively.
Ning Shangmo still shook his head, although the war had been suspended, and the Xiliang army had not gained any benefits, but at least they had preserved themselves and were not annexed by Beimeng, and they had also honed the abilities of the soldiers in the war, so naturally they would not attack Da Ling, an ally.
As far as she knew, when the Daling army and civilians were celebrating in the border city, the Xiliang soldiers and civilians were also celebrating the victory in their city.
Yun Yishu asked puzzledly: "Since it is not a native of Beimeng, nor is it a Daling person, who else dares to do something to the emperor?" ”
Ning Shangmo shook her head, she didn't know who it was, Tuoba Yanling and Chu Yue were both imprisoned in the Great Ling Imperial City, and it shouldn't be them.
However, for the sake of insurance, she immediately sent Mo Bai back to the Daling Imperial City to interrogate Tuoba Yanling and Chu Yue to see if they had sent someone to do it.
Mo Bai rushed back to the Daling Imperial City that night, and this side continued to investigate the emperor's disappearance.
After looking for a day, there were no clues, and news came from the imperial city that Chu Yue and Tuoba Yanling had escaped from prison again.
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but sink his heart, the emperor was missing, Tuoba Yan Lingchu escaped from prison, and he must have nothing to do with them.
Everyone was in a heavy mood, they all knew the behavior and methods of Tuoba Yanling and Chu Yue, and no one knew what crazy things the desperate and frustrated prince and princess would do, this time they dared to directly kidnap the Emperor Daling, it can be said that they had already been released.
"What should I do?" Yun Yishu was very worried and asked, "What else can we do now?" The emperor's disappearance must not be reported back to the imperial city, if it weren't for the queen mother and the concubine, she would definitely be very worried. ”
Ning Shangmo nodded and responded: "The emperor is missing, and this news must be blocked." ”
Ming Qingyan also nodded, and said: "Let's be calm for the time being, since they have captured the emperor, there must be an attempt, since they can't find them, it is better to wait for them to negotiate conditions." ”
Leng Qingrong asked aloud: "Shall we act separately and tell their father about their affairs separately?" If you catch them again this time, you must not spare them, and just execute them directly, so that it is better to communicate with their father and emperor in advance. ”
Ning Shangmo nodded and responded, "Okay, so be it." Let the eldest princess sister of Xiliang go back to Xiliang with her brother-in-law and tell Emperor Xiliang about it. As for the Beimeng side, I went over, after all, I was more familiar with them and had dealt with them. ”
When Ming Qingyan heard this, he immediately spoke out to stop him: "You can't go to Beimeng, the Emperor of Beimeng likes you, although Tuoba Hongyu will help you, it is difficult to guarantee that the Emperor of Beimeng will no longer be kind to you and detain you, so it's better for me to go." I have been an envoy to Northern Mongolia for three years, so I am naturally familiar with the Emperor of Northern Mongolia. ”
Ning Shangmo said that since an armistice agreement had been signed, Emperor Beimeng naturally didn't dare to do anything to her, so let Ming Qingyan just rest assured, she must go this time.
Ming said lightly that she was helpless, so she had to take a step back, saying that if she wanted to go to Beimeng, she would have to accompany her.
Ning Shangmo felt that there was nothing wrong with this, as long as he could let her go, so he agreed.
Then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
……
Early the next morning, Ning Shangmo and Ming Qingyan set off for Beimeng Nade City, while the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife returned to Xiliang.
Yun Yishu and the others stayed in the border city and continued to look for clues about the emperor's disappearance.
The eldest princess of Xiliang did not mention the matter of returning to Xiliang, but said that Ning Shangmo and Ming Qingyan came to Beimeng Nade City to ask to see Emperor Beimeng.
When Emperor Beimeng heard the rumors, he was very puzzled, and he happened to be beside Tuoba Hongyu, so he asked out loud: "Why do you think they came to see us again?" Do you regret it, feel that it is unfair to sign an agreement with us, and want us to pay tribute or something? ”
Tuoba Hongyu shook his head and said: "They won't be like this, maybe there is something else, it's better for my father to see them, so it's clear?" ”
Emperor Beimeng didn't want to see Ming Qingyan and Ning Shangmo.
He liked Ning Shangmo, but Ning Shangmo didn't like him and rejected him repeatedly. Moreover, Beimeng's retreat to Nade City was also a failure, which made him feel a little unconfident in front of her and couldn't raise his head.
Therefore, he wanted Tuoba Hongyu to meet Ning Shangmo and his wife instead of him.
However, Tuoba Hongyu insisted that it would be good for Emperor Beimeng to meet him in person, so that each other's hearts would be opened, and they would be good to each other.
Hearing him say this, Emperor Beimeng's face couldn't help but turn red, his mind was said by Tuoba Hongyu, and he was a little annoyed, but he liked his straightforwardness, what he wanted to say, and didn't hide anything from him, wasn't it exactly what he needed?
So Cheng Cheng Tuoba Hongyu nodded and responded: "Okay, then meet them, maybe the eldest princess of Shangmo is willing to accept her father, I still have illusions about her." ”
Tuoba Hongyu was about to say something, but Emperor Beimeng shook his head and smiled: "You don't need to persuade me, I'm just talking." Even if she is willing to follow me, I would prefer him to follow you, such a genius, if he can be your queen, it will be of great benefit to you to rule the Northern Mongolia Kingdom in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Beimeng suddenly realized that he had exposed his thoughts, and hurriedly covered it up: "I'm just saying, if she can really be your wife, I can consider passing on the throne to you, this woman is indeed not simple, she has the talent of an emperor, but unfortunately she is a daughter, if you can be your woman to assist you, then it will not be a dream to dominate the world." ”
Originally, Emperor Beimeng was just covering up his gaffe, but when he said that, he suddenly felt that this matter was really reliable.
If Ning Shangmo can become Tuoba Hongyu's woman, then the Northern Mongolian Kingdom will be saved.
