Looking at Chu Chengxiao, who had changed suddenly, although Chu Chengde was surprised, he didn't take it to heart, just when he was a child and woke up after listening to his words.

In the end, Chu Chengxiao still followed Luo Yiyang back to Beijing, and when he left, Chu Chengxiao inexplicably gave Xia Ye the jade pendant he was carrying, and asked Xia Ye to put it away.

After accepting the jade pendant, Xia Ye saw Chu Chengxiao looking at her with an evil face, and then leaned close to Xia Ye's ear and whispered, "This king knows that you will definitely stay!" The sound was like a breeze, tickling her ears.

"Of course! The prince gave me such a big hint, can I not stay? Xia Ye took out his earwax and said coldly.

Chu Chengde remembered that just now in order to keep Xia Ye, his fingers kept pointing at the teacup and turning, and his fingers were almost numb.

"Say, what does the prince want me to help?" Xia Ye asked by blowing his fingers.

"There is no one who knows me as you." Chu Chengde recovered his positive color and said: "This matter is related to Pan Wei, this king wants you to make a breakthrough in Pan Wei." ”

Xia Ye looked at Chu Chengde waiting for his next step.

"Last night, just after you left, an arrow tied with a strip of cloth suddenly shot at the head of the king's bed, and I chased it out but found no one, and when I came back, I opened the strip of cloth, and guess what was written on the strip of cloth?"

"This archer, who can quietly enter the city, and can evade so many patrols and leave safely, but just shoots an arrow at your bed, must be trying to tell you something." Natsuha guessed based on this.

"That's right, this archery shooter is indeed here to inform, and there are fifteen words written on the cloth strip: The Great Khan of the Dead Kingdom is under house arrest, and it is not the intention to invade the Jiang State." Chu Chengde took out the strip of cloth and showed it to Xia Ye.

"The Great Khan of the Martyrdom was placed under house arrest, and it was not his intention to invade the Jiang State." Xia Ye read these words and looked at Chu Chengde: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

"Although the country is not a subordinate country, it is still impossible to annex the country of Jiang, the two countries have been living in peace for all these years, and every year they will send envoys to send tribute, and I feel strange to suddenly come this time."

"If what this cloth says is true, then the only one who will kidnap the Great Khan of the Dead Kingdom is the Six Princes, but what is the motive? If the content is fake, then why did they send this strip of cloth to us? ”

"So if the prince wants to know whether what is said in this cloth strip is true or false, he must know it from Pan Wei's mouth." Natsuba said.

"That's right!" He really appreciates this woman more and more now, Chu Chengde looked at Xia Ye and continued: "You also saw it just now, Pan Wei refused to say anything, do you have any way to make him tell the truth?" ”

"It seems that the prince really let people serve that Pan Wei well." Xia Ye said with his arms crossed and squinted.

"There's no way, if you don't figure out the facts, how can you negotiate, what if that sixth prince is crazy and doesn't care about the life or death of these people." Chu Chengde also felt quite nerve-wracking.

The damp underground cell, exuding a musty smell, Xia Ye not only frowned after walking in, but after coming down the steps, Xia Ye's footsteps clicked to remember, it was an echo, in this quiet and terrifying dungeon, her footsteps were the only sound, suddenly there was a scream from inside, Xia Ye stepped up to a sealed dungeon door, pushed the door open, and a guard was holding a red-hot soldering iron on the chest of the person who was tied to the wooden pillar.

This person who was tied to the wooden pillar was Pan Wei, who Chu Chengde asked him to serve well, and when he saw Xia Ye coming in, the guard stopped his movements: "Military advisor, this person has a very hard mouth and refuses to say anything." The guard said respectfully.

Xia Ye didn't say anything, and glanced at the tortured Pan Wei: "Put him down." ”

"This ......" The guard hesitated but did so, and after letting the guard untie Pan Wei, Xia Ye motioned for the guard to retreat.

After the guards retreated, only she and Pan Wei were left in the secret room, and the smell of barbecue permeated the entire secret room dungeon: "It hurts." Xia Ye asked. In fact, General Pan does not need to suffer from these flesh and skin at all. ”

"Less... Don't pretend here, if you let me go, I'm not afraid I'll kill you? Pan Wei, who was untied, knelt on the ground, looked up at the military advisor with a delicate face and looked young.

Xia Ye squatted down and took out two cakes from his arms and handed them to Pan Wei: "General Pan hasn't eaten for a day, why did General Pan kill me like this?" As he spoke, he stuffed the cake into Pan Wei's hand and said, "Besides, General Pan will never do anything to me, a disabled person, right?" Xia Ye deliberately raised his hanging arm.

Ignoring the doubts in Pan Wei's eyes, he continued: "Don't worry, there is no poison in the cake." Then he stood up and said to himself: "From the first time I saw General Pan, I felt that you didn't look like a bad person, although I don't know why you attacked our Jiang country, but one thing is for sure, General Pan must be as unbearable as I am to watch his compatriots use blood to forge a successful result." ”

"If General Pan doesn't want to say it, I will never force General Pan to say it, but there is something I have to tell the general." Xia Ye didn't continue, because she wanted to see if this Pan Wei was desperately loyal to the third prince, if he asked, it meant that there was still room for maneuver, and if he didn't ask, it meant that he already had the mentality of not saying anything to death, so even if she said anything, Pan Wei wouldn't believe it.

"What's the matter?" Pan Wei asked in a hoarse voice, and took a hard bite of the cake in his hand.

"We have received information that your Great Khan of Jiang State is under house arrest, and it is not our intention to attack Jiang State." Hearing this, Pan Wei really showed a surprised expression unexpectedly, it seems that this Pan Wei really didn't know.

Pan Wei is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army and the general who guards the palace, no wonder he didn't see any of the Great Khan's handwritten decrees this time, let alone summoned him, but the six princes held the talisman, he had to send troops, it turned out that the Great Khan was under house arrest.

Pan Wei pinched the cake in his hand and asked, "Why should I believe what you say?" ”

"General Pan can not believe what I said, but if we use General Pan and your subordinates to negotiate with the Six Princes, with General Pan's understanding of the Six Princes, I am afraid that the general will already have a number."

"I told the general that I don't want to see the two countries fighting each other, with heavy casualties, I went to see the general's subordinates, the general's subordinates are all iron-clad men like the general, can the general bear to watch his subordinates abandon them because of their own foolish loyalty?"

Xia Ye saw the hesitation in Pan Wei's eyes, Pan Wei was shaken by her words, Xia Ye approached Pan Wei and stared at Pan Wei's eyes and said, "If there is a better way to solve the conflict between the two countries, why don't the generals consider it?" ”
