Chapter 502: Threats to Him

Although Chu Ruoyan said this, Li Luobing was still skeptical of his words, after all, she didn't think that a simple letter could change anything.

Seeing Li Luobing's expression, Chu Ruoyan knew that she was still very hesitant.

"How do you know the result if you don't try it? There's no other way now, is there? Chu Ruoyao patiently persuaded Li Luobing.

Li Luobing looked at Chu Ruoyao's sincere eyes, and finally nodded, anyway, there is no other way to do this matter, she can only believe that Chu Ruoyao will treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor.

After seeing Li Luobing nodding and agreeing, Chu Ruoyan immediately wrote a letter and asked people to bring it back to Mingyue Kingdom, at this time in Mingyue Country, Chu Zhuangyan had already learned about Qiao Su's poisoning and death.

"Then how about the princess who is relieved of worries now?" The first thing he thought of was Li Luobing.

After all, Li Luobing was in Izumo Country on behalf of Mingyue Kingdom, and he didn't want anything to happen to Li Luobing.

"If you go back to the emperor, Princess Xie Wei is now doing business as usual." The eunuch's words relieved Chu Zhuangyan.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has a letter coming."

Just when Chu Zhuangyan was talking to the eunuch, the envoy rushed to the palace of Mingyue Kingdom and handed Chu Ruoyan's letter to Chu Zhuangyan.

Chu Zhuangyan frowned, this is the first time Chu Ruoyan has written to himself since he arrived in Izumo Kingdom, I don't know what he said in his heart?

He slowly opened the letter, and when he saw the contents, he looked a little hesitant at first, but when he saw it, there was a hint of clarity behind it.

It turned out that Chu Ruoyan also said in the letter that Qiao Su was poisoned and died, but he faced Chu Zhuangyan and emphasized the interests of Mingyue Country even more.

In other words, it is implied that Chu Zhuangyan can use this incident of Qiaosu's poisoning and death to create some contradictions and conflicts with Izumo Kingdom, because he knows that in Chu Zhuangyan's heart, only unifying the world is his ultimate idea.

After Chu Zhuangyan finished reading Chu Ruoya's letter, there was an excited look on his face, it seemed that it was indeed a very wise decision to let Chu Ruoya go to be the concubine of Izumo Kingdom.

The eunuch next to him also felt relieved when he saw the relaxed look on his face. He was originally worried that King Yan was asking the emperor for something when he wrote back this time, and seeing the emperor's face should be the opposite of what he thought.

"Go, bring those ministers of the Ministry of War to me." He needed to discuss Chu Ruoyao's decision from those ministers, so that he could figure out how to deal with Yunguo.

Several ministers of the Ministry of War were confused after they came to the imperial study, and they went to call their father-in-law to just say that Chu Zhuang Yan announced that they had entered the palace, but did not say what the specific matter was, so everyone had a trace of apprehension in their hearts.

"Now that you're here, listen to me, I have something important to announce." Chu Zhuangyan said solemnly to the ministers.

When several great gods heard this, they immediately put away the looks on their faces.

Chu Zhuangyan first handed the letter that Chu Ruoyan had written to him to the ministers below, and while they were reading it, Chu Zhuangyan was talking about his thoughts.

"My current decision is to ostensibly not conflict with Izumo Province for the time being, but our Bright Moon Country's forces must be pressed on the border between the two countries, so that we can use this as an excuse to give Cloud Country a sense of urgency."

After several ministers read the letter written by Chu Ruoyan, they finally understood what Chu Zhuangyan called them for, and they were a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, haven't we already signed an alliance with Izumo Province before? If we unilaterally tear up the alliance, will Izumo Kuni simply ignore it? ”

This is something they are quite worried about, after all, in terms of strength alone, Izumo Province is still a little stronger than Mingyue Country.

"Things like the covenant are used to break," Chu Zhuangyan felt disapprehensive of the minister's words, "And our people from the Mingyue Kingdom died in the territory of Izumo Kingdom, and there is no explanation until now, why can't we go and ask for an explanation?" ”

Chu Zhuangyan attributed his reason for sending troops to the three words "to discuss the law", this matter can be big or small, the most important thing is what the attitude of Izumo Country Tuoba lie is.

If Tuoba Lie's attitude is better than Chu Zhuangyan imagined, he can withdraw his troops, and if Tuoba Lie's attitude is average, then there will be good reasons for the Bright Moon Kingdom to enter the Izumo Kingdom.

Although Chu Ruoyan meant to let himself cooperate, in Chu Zhuangyan's opinion, even he was happy to carry out this action.

The ministers had nothing to say in the face of Chu Zhuangyan's decision, so they followed his advice and went down to secretly deploy troops.

After Chu Zhuangyan completed all this, he wrote down the time and number of troops deployed in a letter, secretly sent it back to Izumo Province, and handed it over to Chu Ruoyi.

In Izumo, Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao were anxiously waiting for Chu Zhuangyan's letter these days, and they didn't have the time to pay attention to Tuoba Lie, and Tuoba Lie was also happy to be quiet these days, and he didn't thoroughly investigate the cause of Qiaosu's poisoning.

In his opinion, his verbal comfort to Li Luobing was enough, but it was just the death of a maid, and he didn't need to pay attention to it at all.

Chu Ruoyao told Li Luobing as soon as she received the letter, and Li Luobing rushed to the house to open the letter with Chu Ruoyao.

In the letter, Chu Zhuangyan not only agreed to Chu Ruoyan's request, but also deployed his troops, and Li Luobing felt a little comforted in his heart at this time.

Although Chu Zhuangyan did this for the benefit of Mingyue Kingdom himself, it could be regarded as revenge for Qiaosu.

"The matter of the troops is solved, and the next thing we have to do is to go to Tuoba Lie to talk about this matter and test his attitude?"

After Chu Ruoyao put the letter away, she said to Li Luobing. Li Luobing nodded, and the two of them came directly to the outside of Tuoba Lie's imperial study without any notification.

"Your Majesty, the Yan King of the Mingyue Kingdom and Princess Xie Wei are now outside the imperial study." The eunuch said to Tuoba Lie in the room.

Tuoba Lie was taken aback when he heard that the two of them were outside his house: "What are the two of them looking for me for?" ”

The father-in-law didn't dare to ask carefully, and as soon as he saw the two of them waiting outside the house, he immediately ran in and told Tuoba Lie.

"Forget it, announce them in." Tuoba Lie said with some embarrassment, these two people may have come to him because of Qiaosu's matter, I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect them to come.

After Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing entered the imperial study, they sat opposite Tuoba Lie without saying a word, Tuoba Lie looked at them and didn't take the lead in speaking, the three of them were stalemate with each other like that.

In the end, Tuoba Lie couldn't help it: "Why did the two of you come to find me?" ”

"So what? Presumably the emperor should know very well in his heart, right? Why ask us again? Chu Ruoyan faced Tuoba Lie and spoke unceremoniously.

Tuoba Lie didn't expect that this person, who was about to become the concubine of Izumo Province, had such an attitude, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

"I don't understand what King Yan said."

It's just the prince of the Bright Moon Kingdom, why do you talk to yourself like this? Even if he was favored in the Bright Moon Country before, he hasn't been abandoned until now and came to Izumo Country as a colt?

"Since the emperor doesn't understand what King Yan said, then it's up to me to say it." At this time, Li Luobing stood up.

"My maid was poisoned and died in the palace of Izumo Province a few days ago, and the emperor promised me to investigate this matter thoroughly, but a few days have passed, and there is no news, I wonder if the emperor still remembers what you said?"

After seeing Li Luobing speak, Tuoba Lie's face immediately changed, and sure enough, it was the same as he thought, it was for the sake of the poisoned little maid.

"I naturally remember, but this matter is not so simple to find, Princess Xie Wei still needs to give me some time." Tuoba Lie avoided the important and trivialized, wanting to fool this matter over.

"I think you've given the emperor enough time, if you can't even investigate this little thing, how can you deal with so many things in Izumo Country?"

Li Luobing's words were all rooted in Tuoba Lie's heart, although he was dissatisfied, but he had no way to refute it, after all, he was now at his own expense.

"I know, the princess will go back and wait for news, within ten days, I will definitely give the princess a satisfactory answer." Tuoba Lie waved his hand, trying to drive the two away.

"Ten days, I'm afraid it's too late, Your Majesty." Chu Ruoyu suddenly spoke at this time.

Tuoba Lie was a little puzzled, and looked at Chu Ruoyao's eyes: "Why did King Yan say this?" ”

"If you really wait for the tenth day, I'm afraid that the soldiers of the Mingyue Kingdom are already on the border of the Izumo Kingdom, I wonder if the emperor can sit here in peace?"

After listening to Chu Ruoyao's words, Tuoba Lie stood up at that time.

"What do you mean by that?" He questioned Chu Ruoyao, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"That's what the emperor thinks." Chu Ruoyan was not afraid at all, and replied with Tuobalie's eyes.

Is that what you think? Tuoba Lie hesitated, did they really have such guts? Actually because of a little girl's affair to break the covenant with Izumo country?

Just when Tuoba Lie was half-convinced, a letter from the Ministry of War made him confirm the matter.

"Your Majesty," a little eunuch hurriedly ran in, and just as he was about to speak to Tuoba Lie, he saw the two people in the room, and then lowered his voice and whispered a few words beside Tuoba Lie.

After Tuoba Lie finished speaking, his eyes fell on Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing, and Chu Ruoyao had already guessed what the little eunuch came in to report.

"I wonder if the emperor has changed his mind?" After the little eunuch left, Chu Ruoyao asked Tuoba Lie again.

Tuoba Lie didn't expect that Mingyue Kingdom would really move, he originally thought that there was an alliance between the two countries, and such a thing could not happen.

"Okay, Sannei will find the murderer."
