"King Pingnan wants to see me?"

Lin Yiqiu was very puzzled.

Although he admired King Pingnan's personality, he had never intersected with him before.

Besides, if it was because of Xia Lingfeng's matter, he could go directly to Emperor Qian, how could he find his head?

And the voice of the little eunuch was still coming.

"Overseer, King Pingnan has sent someone to deliver a message, and he said that he is waiting for you in the house, you see..."

Lin Yiqiu frowned and thought.

Although he is the governor of Xichang, in terms of substantive status, he is naturally not comparable to this kind of imperial relative.

Moreover, King Pingnan is the premier existence among the royal princes, so the power is even greater!

In other words, you have to go, and if you don't go, you have to go.

"That's it, let's go and see what the hell is going on, I haven't messed with him, so it won't embarrass me, right?"

Lin Yiqiu thought so.

Under the leadership of the little eunuch, sitting in a sedan chair, he went straight to the Pingnan Palace, west of the capital.

And at this time, within the palace of Pingnan.

Xia Yuanju, the king of Pingnan, was sitting solemnly, waiting for the arrival of the overseer of Xichang.

His face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but the momentum of his whole body had a deep feeling!

At this moment, a shadow walked out of the house.

"Father, what are you waiting for? No outsiders can interfere in this matter! ”

The person who spoke was Xia Yuanju's second daughter, Xia Nianqiao.

Her appearance is extremely handsome, she is heroic among women, but she is shy among men!

The light dress brings out the uniqueness of his temperament!

Xia Yuanju raised his eyes and looked at it a few times.

"After all, it is Your Majesty's arrangement, I have to ask clearly."

"Then why don't you go directly to Your Majesty?"

Xia Nianqiao was very puzzled.

"My brother was captured, this matter is our family matter, do we need outsiders to solve it for us?"

"Of course I went to look for it, but His Majesty didn't allow it at all!"

Xia Yuanju was also helpless.

He had already planned to personally lead people to infiltrate the country of Wu and rescue his son!

But His Majesty doesn't agree, and he can't help it! Otherwise, it will be disobedience!

Xia Nianqiao was still angry, and said: "I really don't know what Your Majesty thinks, you actually arranged for a eunuch to go to Wu to save my brother!" ”

"Then what can a eunuch do? Isn't that fooling around? ”

"Shut up! Hugh is babbling! Beware of your majesty's knowledge and condemnation of you! ”

Faced with Xia Nianqiao's disdain for eunuchs, Xia Yuanju opened his mouth to scold.

But in fact, in his heart, he didn't look down on eunuchs at all.

Familiar with history books, he knows that eunuchs are the source of a country's troubles!

In addition, Emperor Qiandi now seems to indeed attach great importance to Lin Yiqiu of Naxi Factory, which makes Xia Yuanju feel even more resistant!

However, in the order of Emperor Qian, Lin Yiqiu, the governor of Xichang, was arranged to go to Wu to exchange hostages and rescue his son Xia Lingfeng.

This made Xia Yuanju himself very angry and puzzled!

Do you want to put your hopes in the hands of a eunuch?

Xia Yuanju, as a father, can't allow himself to do this!

At this moment, a guard quickly walked in from outside the door.

"Lord Qiqi, Lin Yiqiu has arrived!"

Hearing this, Xia Yuanju's eyebrows flashed.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

After the guards retreated, Xia Yuanju said to Xia Nianqiao again: "Don't talk nonsense later, I'll ask, understand?" ”

"Humph! Who rarely talks to a eunuch? ”

Xia Nianqiao turned her head disdainfully.

Not long after, Lin Yiqiu's sedan chair had stopped outside the mansion, and he followed the guidance of the guards all the way in.

Entering the hall, Xia Yuanju's majestic figure instantly came into view.

Of course, there is also Xia Nianqiao's shadow.

"I have long heard that this Xia Yuanju has a son and a daughter, the son is brave, and the daughter is extraordinary, it seems that it is not a lie."

Lin Yiqiu thought to himself.

This Xia Nianqiao's temperament is a little similar to Emperor Qian.

"Lin Yiqiu, the superintendent of the West Factory, has seen the prince."

According to the rules, Lin Yiqiu saluted respectfully.

Xia Yuanju did not receive him politely, and his face was still so lukewarm.

"Lord Lin, I came to you today because I want to ask you something, and I hope Lord Lin will not hide it."

"It's for Xia Lingfeng, right?"

Lin Yiqiu directly explained the key points.

Xia Yuanju nodded.

"Lord Lin is a smart man, and I don't think it will be very tiring to talk to a smart person."

"I hope that Lord Lin will give up the task given to you by His Majesty this time and let this king take action!"

The tone seems to be negotiating, but there is no doubt about it.

Lin Yiqiu reacted at this time, no wonder this King of Pingnan was anxious to find him.

It seems that he doesn't trust himself and thinks that he is not capable of rescuing Xia Lingfeng.

But this is the task personally assigned by Emperor Qian, and Lin Yiqiu has already followed, so there is no reason to give in!

Besides, if you go to Wu Kingdom, you may be able to find out the Holy Fire Sect, and if you find the Holy Fire Sect, you can find out the military salary!

And the military salary is related to the relationship between Lin Yiqiu and Emperor Qian!

For the sake of his own happiness, he can't give it to King Pingnan!

"Lord Wang, forgive me."

Lin Yiqiu's respectful tone was a little more tough.

"I know that the prince is concerned about the safety of the eldest prince, and he is worried that he will be harmed in Wu State!"

"I also understand the prince, and I don't want to worry about Your Majesty for the eldest prince alone, so I want to be alone and sneak into the country of Wu to rescue the eldest prince."

"But Lord Wang, you must also understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, you are an important minister of the Great Qianguo! You can't take such a risk! ”

A few words, there are words to say! Can't fault it!

But King Pingnan did not flinch.

"Lord Lin, this is my family matter! I'm worried about Ling Feng's safety! It's out of my duty as a father! ”

"Your Majesty understands the minister, and the minister naturally understands, but for the sake of the minister, he wants to exchange hostages with Wu State, which is unacceptable to the minister!"

"The personnel arrested by Lord Lin before were related to the Holy Fire Sect and implicated in the military salary case, should they all be returned to the Wu Kingdom? Just for the sake of the minister's son? ”

The words after King Pingnan are the point!

"As a father, the minister is willing to go to Wu alone to save his son!"

"Danchen is the prince, as the pillar of the country! But I can't accept such an exchange! This is to the detriment of the interests of our country! ”

"I also ask Lord Lin to give up this mission, and ask Your Majesty to go to the state of Wu alone!"

Also from the public and private aspects, he gave his own answer.

What King Pingnan said is not unreasonable!

And after Lin Yiqiu listened, he also respected the other party's personality even more.

It's just that this time, it's really not up to the other party to decide!

"Lord Wang, in addition to rescuing the eldest prince in Wu Kingdom, we also have to find out the case of military salaries and the matter of the Holy Fire Sect!"

"In public and private, the prince should support me, or does the prince not trust his ability?"

Lin Yiqiu changed his question.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xia Nianqiao, who was not far away, sneered.

"Trust you? What qualifications do you have for us to trust you? You're just a eunuch! Without a complete thing, not even a man counts! ”
