377. Chapter 378
Earlier-
In the military camp at the junction of the Central Plains and the Eastern Desert.
Wen Zuyu has already arranged all the things for the peace talks, and now everyone is waiting for Xufeng Chenhui to come to the big tent to give the next instructions.
And Xufeng Chenhui did not rush to the big tent after receiving the report.
He was still in Puxu's tent, and Puxu looked through the entire tent in front of him again, making sure that the two soul jades were gone.
"Alright, don't look for it anymore," Xufeng Chenhui said in a low voice, "I have somewhat guessed where these two soul jades are now." β
"It's the subordinates who are not good at taking care of it, please punish the prince-"
"Don't talk about these useless things," Xufeng Chenhui said, "You quickly reply to the guard department now, and ask Fang Fan to keep Chen Yin under his own eyes while I return to Beijing." β
"Chen Yin-Soul Jade is there?" Pu Xuan was slightly surprised.
Xufeng Chenhui didn't say much, got up and walked out of the big tent: "You just reply to the letter first, and then go to find the cold weather again, you don't have to worry about the rest of the things, whether you find the cold weather or not, you will go back to the capital directly, can you understand?"
"Understood. β
A moment later, in the middle of the tent.
Wen Zuyu told Xufeng Chenhui about his arrangements and the people who accompanied the guards one by one.
Even if Wen Zuyu arranged it properly, Xufeng Chenhui didn't think so - he asked Wen Zuyu and Qi Lianxin to take half of the Central Plains and Xilin Army to continue to press into Beiyuan City, and when they arrived at Beiyuan City, Wen Zuyu would take Xufeng Chenhui's handwriting as an envoy to the peace talks and meet the lord of Ma Si Kingdom. β
"You are the minister as an envoy to the peace talks?" Wen Zuyu was confused.
Except for Xufeng Chenhui himself, no one understood why he arranged it this way. As for the explanation, he only pointed to the point: "My father entrusted someone to send a secret decree, summoning me to return to Beijing immediately, looking at the entire camp, only Uncle Wen can handle the matter of peace talks." β
"The lord of the country of Ma Si has always been arrogant," Wen Zuyu said unhurriedly, "even if our soldiers come to the city and ask for peace talks in my capacity, I am afraid that he will not even see him." β
Xufeng Chenhui was already completely sure: "As long as he sees the letter and gives him another day, he will agree to the peace talks, and I believe that Uncle Wen will have a way to deliver the letter to him." β
"Chenhui," Wen Zuyu's voice was low, and his tone didn't seem to be discussing, "Do you know that doing so is tantamount to cutting off his own way out, if he doesn't negotiate peacefully, he will only rely on the half of the troops he brought to go deep into the hinterland of the Eastern Desert, and if Beiyuan City raises troops to surround him, he will definitely be captured." β
"Uncle Wen rest assured, as long as the letter is handed over to him, then the battle between the Central Plains and Ma Siguo will be over, and there will be no more war in the next hundred years. β

Later -
The Imperial Palace of the capital.
"This guy actually dared to take the initiative to come to us," Si Yu was a little happy after hearing the report from the guards at the door, "I didn't do anything to him just now, and he came to the door by himself." β
Jas snuffed out the tobacco and handed the pipe to Red Mist: "Go and put the old man's pipe away, and then go back to each house to rest." β
Red Mist, Nightmare and Jue Yun immediately responded, but they didn't say much, only Si Yu became displeased, and asked, "Old man, you don't necessarily want to see him?"
"Ah," Jass didn't look at her face, but lowered his head and tied the pocket of the tobacco tightly, "Are you still afraid that he will hurt the old man?"
"How could he hurt the old manβ"
"So why not listen to what the old man has to say," Jas waved his hand and told them all to step back, "it's not too early, you all hurry." β
"Butβ"
Si Yu wanted to say more, but was patted on the head by the red mist and immediately closed his mouth.
"Old man, you should rest earlier, and we will retreat first. Red Mist took the lead in saluting Jas, and the four girls exited the front hall.
Jas stood up from his reclining and had just put on his coat when Chen Yin walked in.
"The junior came to see Master Jia, I came to the door so late, there is something disturbing, and I ask for forgiveness. β
"You learn these ghosts in the palace very quickly," Jass said casually, straightening out his coat, "just say what you have to say, and you will still go around to the original point after all, so why waste time beating around the bush." β
Chen Yin swallowed.
Jas is different from Fang Fan, he is a person with a deep city. Chen Yin's trick on Fang Fan will definitely not work in front of Jas, and Chen Yin himself knows this. As far as Jas's reaction after he came in, it was somewhat unexpected for him, as if his arrival was expected by Jas.
"Tianyunshu was stunned in front of me so late?"
Chen Yin came back to his senses and said slowly: "Late ...... The juniors are thinking about how to speak. β
Jas smiled, laughed to himself for a while, and took the initiative to say: "Then you think about it again, let me ask you, why did you come back to the palace?"
"I stayed in a place outside the city," Chen Yin said perfunctorily, "The junior is at the behest of the third prince to return to the palaceβ"
"Now you're not stunned and ready to talk nonsense?" Jas's tone was tepid, his eyes looked in the direction of Chen Yin, but he didn't seem to be looking at Chen Yin.
"Junior-" Under the other party's aura, Chen Yin couldn't make up anything.
"My lord!" the guard at the gate of Tianyun Shu ran in again, and shouted in the front yard, "Lord Fang of the Guards Division asks to see you!"
An ominous feeling surged over Chen Yin's heart, and he quietly glanced at Jas, who did not answer the shout of the guard in the front yard, but looked at him without squinting, his face expressionless.
