Chapter 335: Met on the Road

Everyone was very happy about Li Luobing's return, and people were busy for a long time, holding a small banquet to celebrate Li Luobing's return to Yanwang's Mansion, and also to prepare for the two of them to travel for a few days.

After the banquet, Li Luobing went back to the house, and when he entered the house, he found that Qiao Su was packing up his things and stuffing all kinds of strange things into his baggage.

"Isn't it going to be a while before you leave? Why did you start packing up now? Li Luobing asked curiously.

Qiao Su put down the things in his hand and turned around: "Princess, the place we are going to is the border, the border is different from the capital, there will be a lot less things, of course we have to make plans now." ”

Li Luobing knew that Qiao Su was kind, so although he felt that she was a little anxious, he didn't interrupt her.

However, just when everything was planned for them, another variable arose.

Tuoba Lie found Chu Zhuangyan and demanded that Chu Zhuangyan compensate him for various reasons.

"Don't you think your demands are too much?"

Chu Zhuangyan was very angry at Tuoba Lie's backsliding, although he knew that he would not give up, but he didn't expect him to open his mouth and ask himself to compensate him for silver taels.

"The king's daughter has lost her child, shouldn't she be compensated in some way? Even if this matter was not done by Princess Yan, but Luo Xia was under the care of Princess Yan before, she was at least guilty of dereliction of duty, and she must not just forget it. ”

"What does Lord Lie want?" Chu Zhuangyan asked patiently.

Tuoba Lie raised his head and looked at Chu Zhuangyan: "What I want is very simple, I want the Mingyue Kingdom to compensate this king, we have already delayed too much time in the Mingyue Kingdom." If you return to Izumo Province like this, there is no way to explain it. ”

"What if I don't promise compensation?" Chu Zhuangyan said with a cold face.

Hearing this, Tuoba Lie smiled: "It's okay if you don't compensate, then we, Izumo Country, will have to use some means." ”

Chu Zhuangyan listened to Tuobalie's threatening words, and he couldn't wait to quarrel with him on the spot, but Mingyue Country couldn't directly start a war with Izumo Country now.

Because Chu Zhuangyan has temporarily placed most of his troops in the northern frontier, he can only focus on pacification on the side of Izumo Kingdom, and Tuoba Lie should have made such a request to himself so unscrupulously for this reason.

"I don't know if the emperor has thought about it?" Tuoba Lie saw that Chu Zhuangyan didn't speak for a long time, and deliberately asked him.

"This matter is not something I can decide now, Lord Lie can go back first, and when I think about it, I will definitely tell Lord Lie the result."

Chu Zhuangyan really had no way to make a decision now, even if he compensated Tuoba Lie, it would not be a small amount, and he would have to discuss it with other ministers.

"The king has one more request." Tuoba Lie wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly thought of something, and then stopped.

"What requirements?" Chu Zhuangyan's patience had gradually been exhausted by Tuoba Lie.

"If the emperor's final decision is compensation, then the king hopes that this compensation will be paid by the Yan Wangfu."

Yanwangfu? Hearing these three words, Chu Zhuangyan's eyes moved, it seemed that Tuoba Lie still had a grudge against Chu Ruoyan, even if there was no way for the two of them, then he must give Yan Wangfu some to see.

"If the emperor is reluctant, it will be as if the king did not say it." After Tuoba Lie finished speaking, he walked away.

After Chu Ruoyan saw Tuoba Lie leave, he kept thinking about what he had just said in his mind, if this matter was compensated by Yan Wangfu, it would be done once and for all, and it was very likely that Tuoba Lie would not be pursued again.

But if it is the court of the Mingyue Kingdom, it is likely to leave an excuse for Tuoba Lie's investigation in the future. Chu Zhuangyan thought for a while and ordered the eunuch to summon several ministers into the imperial study.

"Ministers, see the emperor." The ministers were very frightened after they came in, they had entered the palace many times in the past few days because of the affairs of the Yan Wangfu, and this time they were summoned into the palace by Chu Zhuangyan, and they naturally had no bottom in their hearts.

"Get up, I called you over again this time, still for the dispute between the Lie Prince and the Yan Palace."

When the ministers heard this, they really thought the same as they thought, and it was because of this incident.

Chu Zhuangyan told the ministers about Tuoba Lie's request for compensation, and although the ministers felt a little strange, they all felt that it was quite reasonable for the Yan Wangfu to compensate, at least it would not have too much impact on the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, since this matter was provoked by the Yan Wangfu, it should naturally be ended by them. Even if this matter is told to King Yan and Princess Yan, they will definitely agree. ”

After listening to Chu Zhuangyan's words, the ministers did not hesitate to choose to let Yan Wangfu compensate, Chu Zhuangyan was also a little shaken after hearing it, but did he feel that this was too unfair to Yan Wangfu?

Seeing Chu Zhuangyan's hesitant look, the ministers were afraid that he would change his mind, so they hurriedly kept persuading him, and finally Chu Zhuangyan nodded and asked the eunuch to call Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing into the palace.

After Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing heard the news, their hearts tightened, and sure enough, they were right, Tuoba Lie did not compromise on this, and came to trouble them again.

After the two entered the palace, Chu Zhuangyan also told them the specific words of Tuoba Lie, and then waited for Chu Ruoyao's reply.

Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing exchanged glances, and before the two of them could speak, a minister next to them took the lead in speaking.

"King Yan, the minister thinks that since this matter is caused by Princess Yan, then Princess Yan should be responsible, this matter is a major matter of Izumo Kingdom and Mingyue Kingdom, if it is not handled well......"

"When did this king say that he was not responsible?" Chu Ruoyan couldn't listen to it anymore, and interrupted the minister's words with a cold face.

"Then does King Yan mean to be responsible?" The ministers thought that they were going to persuade Chu Ruoyao, but they didn't expect him to agree so easily.

In fact, Chu Ruoyao also has his own considerations, if he doesn't agree, then Tuoba Lie will definitely use this matter as an excuse to be unforgiving to Mingyue Kingdom, and it doesn't matter to him, but everyone will put all the fault on Li Luobing, he definitely doesn't want to see such a scene.

"Father, I don't know how much compensation the Lie Prince asks?"

Chu Zhuangyan said a number, this number not only surprised Chu Ruoyan, but even the ministers felt that it was outrageous, this Lie Wang Ye obviously wanted to put Yan Wangfu to death, if Yan Wangfu really wanted to compensate like this, I am afraid it would be emptied.

The ministers were all wondering what King Yan would do, and after Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyan on the side exchanged a look, Chu Ruoyan stepped forward and knelt in front of Chu Zhuangyan.

"Did Lord Lie say when he would ask for these compensations? Erchen needs to prepare when he goes back, so many things are not very easy to take. Chu Ruoyan said with a solemn face.

The ministers did not expect that he would actually agree to this.

"Have you really figured it out? If the Yan Wangfu wants to compensate, then I'm afraid even the house will have to be sold. Chu Zhuangyan couldn't believe his ears.

"What Erchen said is true, anyway, Erchen will go to the border with Luo Bing in a few days, this Yanwang Mansion is empty, and I don't know when I will be able to come back."

Hearing that Chu Ruoyao said that he would take Li Luobing to the border, and he would also sell the Yan Wangfu, the ministers also changed their minds.

A small number of ministers thought that letting King Yan go to the border was an exercise for him at first, but now it seems that it is not an exercise at all, and it is clearly a punishment for him.

"Okay, I'm ready. Give you two days to pack your things, and then go to the border in two days! ”

After Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing returned to the Yan Palace, they told the news to everyone in the Yan Palace, and no one raised any questions about Chu Ruobing's approach, but the joyful atmosphere formed before because of Li Luobing's return had disappeared.

Yanwangfu was busy for a whole day, and everyone turned over the things they had packed up before. put some valuable things in one go, and only took away some necessary items, as for Li Luobing's jewelry and the like, none of them were carried.

Everyone was busy until late at night, and then they took a break to prepare for the next day.

Chu Ruoyao closed the door, turned around and sat down at the table to talk to Li Luobing.

"These things should be almost ready, and Tuoba Lie won't be looking for trouble this time."

After Chu Ruoyao finished speaking, she found that Li Luobing didn't speak, so she leaned over to take a look, and found that her face was full of worry.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Li Luobing shook his head. Today, when everyone was packing up their things, she also had some calculations in her heart. After this compensation, there is nothing left in the Yanwang Mansion at all, only enough for some of the most basic life, and there is not even some extra silver.

As soon as she thought that this incident was caused by herself, she was full of guilt, and she kept thinking about how to take some silver from the security hall to make up for it.

But the security hall had already taken a part of the silver as compensation for the Yan Wangfu before, and if he went to get it again, the security hall might not be able to open at all, and Li Luobing couldn't even give up the security hall.

"Let's rest if we don't have anything to do, tomorrow is a busy day, and then we have to go to the border."

When they came together the next morning, Li Luobing called Qiao Su to his side and asked her to accompany him out of the house.

"Princess, what are we going to do when we leave the mansion at this time?"

"Buy something." Now Li Luobing has begun to subconsciously save money.

If you go to the border, you may not have a lot of things, and even if you do, it will be ridiculously expensive, but if you prepare it in the capital, you should be able to save a lot.

She and Qiaosu watched on the street for a long time and bought a lot of things, and some vendors heard about the affairs of Yanwangfu, although they didn't dare to directly support Li Luobing on the surface, but they received a lot of less money from her.
