At night, the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Wu.

Inside Emperor Wu's dormitory.

In front of the table, Emperor Wu, dressed in civilian clothes, was reviewing the recital, his brows sometimes tense and sometimes stretched.

Although he is very young, his temperament is very old.

The delicate and incomparably handsome face is said to be handsome, but it seems to have some other charm.

At this time, a eunuch walked in quickly, and then said a few words in Emperor Wu's ear.

Emperor Wu's face was stunned, and then he said, "Let him come in." ”

"Yes!"

The little eunuch quickly stepped back.

A moment later, Chen Mohan, the commander of the Outer Fu Division, had already entered the hall.

"Your Majesty."

Chen Mohan saluted respectfully.

Emperor Wu didn't look up, but asked softly.

"How's it going? Are there any surprises? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the people have already been arranged."

"As for the accident, Xiao Ceyun did appear, but he was choked back by the minister."

Hearing this, Emperor Wu nodded with satisfaction.

He didn't doubt Chen Mohan's ability.

And now there are not many people who are at the same level as Xiao Ceyun and can compete with Xiao Ceyun, and Chen Mohan is one of them.

"Who are the people who are here this time? Anything familiar? ”

Emperor Wu continued to ask.

Chen Mohan thought for a few moments and replied in detail: "There are dozens of Jinyi guards here, and the leader is a Jinyi guard commander named Canghong. ”

"And the leader of the mission this time is the overseer of the Qianguo West Factory, Lin Yiqiu."

"Lin Yiqiu, this name seems to be somewhat familiar."

Emperor Wu thought carefully, where he had heard it.

Chen Mohan reminded him when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that our envoy of the Wu State was deflated in the Qianguo before?"

"At that time, it was this Lin Yiqiu who gave him the power to get off the horse!"

"This guy is the favored person of Emperor Qian, and it can be said that he is in the limelight in Qianguo!"

Only then did Emperor Wu react.

"It turned out to be him, I heard that although this person is a eunuch, he is quite talented and has a lot of means."

"Yes, if he can be favored by Emperor Qian, it proves that this person is by no means an ordinary person."

Chen Mohan continued to give up.

Emperor Wu smiled: "You actually have such an evaluation of him, it seems that he left a very good impression on you?" ”

"To be precise, this person is not surprised, polite and courteous, and among the people the minister has encountered, there are few who can make the minister unable to see through."

"This guy is young, he can have such ability, and the minister should pay attention to it!"

Chen Mohan is not lying.

Although he had been in contact with Lin Yiqiu for a short time, the other party made an extremely deep impression on him.

So much so that for a moment, Chen Mohan seemed to feel that he was not a eunuch.

Thinking of this, Chen Mohan said again: "Your Majesty, this person may really be a sharp sword!" ”

"If used properly, maybe he can help us eradicate it..."

The words were not finished.

But Emperor Wu understood it and already understood.

Subsequently, Emperor Wu took the initiative to divert the topic.

"What is the attitude of the ruler over there? The people he sent were blocked back by me, so it shouldn't be very comfortable, right? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there have been some moves."

Chen Mohan frowned.

"Say."

"Before I came down, I listened to the reports of the people under my subordinates, and it is said that after Xiao Ceyun returned to the town government department, he immediately sent a lot of people to the Ming Prison of the town government department."

"Originally, more than a dozen people were guarding Xia Lingfeng, but before the subordinates were subordinated, they had been assigned to at least thirty."

After listening to this, Emperor Wu smiled.

"Ming Prison has sent more people?"

"It's true!"

"Hehe, that's really good news!"

Emperor Wu was eager for the country's abbot to react like this.

Subsequently, he continued to order: "In the next few days, we must treat this Qianguo mission well, and we must not let them have any accidents. ”

"Also, in two days, I will have a banquet for them in the main hall, and then inform the ministers to get ready, don't lose the etiquette of my Wu Kingdom!"

"The minister understands!"

Chen Mohan respectfully accepted the order.

After saying that, he was ready to retire.

However, Emperor Qian stopped him again.

"By the way, about cognitive exchange, you can put it off as long as you want, you understand?"

"Yes!"

.....

The night is deep, and the mission is in residence.

Lin Yiqiu was pacing slowly in the room, as if waiting for something.

Xia Nianqiao was a little bored.

"When can we exchange hostages for my brother?"

She couldn't wait, and she really wanted to see Xia Lingfeng immediately.

Lin Yiqiu did not answer, but continued to wait.

In a short time, a figure had leapt into the room.

Cang Hong tore off his mask and said in a deep voice: "It has been investigated clearly, Xia Lingfeng is in the Ming Prison of the Town Government Division. ”

"Hell? What is that place? ”

Lin Yiqiu had never heard of it.

Cang Hong knew a lot about this and opened his mouth to explain.

"This prison is one of the three major prisons of the town government department, and it is a place dedicated to detaining felons from other countries."

"And in addition to the open prison, there are also dark prisons and ghost prisons!"

"Is there such a division?"

Lin Yiqiu suddenly became curious.

Cang Hong nodded.

"The Ghost Prison is the place where the most heinous people are located, located in the deepest part of the town government department! The Dark Prison is a criminal of the emperor's relatives, in a tower of the town government department! ”

"Repeat offenders in other countries have a special status, which can easily lead to disputes between the two countries and lead to chaos, so the place where they are held is a relatively quiet house, which is easy to find and easy to see, so it is called

Prison. ”

"Then you found Xia Lingfeng?"

Lin Yiqiu continued to ask.

Cang Hong shook his head helplessly.

"It's not that simple, although Xia Lingfeng is being detained in Ming Prison, there are dozens of people around him, almost all over the courtyard and outside!"

"Although I can easily sneak in with my skills, it is impossible to take him away quietly!"

"Take away? You want to rob the prison? ”

At this time, Xia Nianqiao seemed to be shocked.

She looked puzzled.

"But shouldn't hostages be exchanged? Why do we have to rob prisons in one more step? ”

In her mind, since the people needed by both countries have already arrived.

Next, we should follow the agreement and release each other's talents.

But Lin Yiqiu felt helpless because of his innocence.

"Miss, who told you that there would be a direct exchange of hostages?"

"Isn't that how it should be? That's what Wu promised. ”

Xia Nianqiao was still confused.

Lin Yiqiu's face was speechless.

"That Chen Mohan is the commander of the Foreign Care Division, and I chatted with him for an hour today."

"But from beginning to end, did you see that he mentioned the exchange of hostages?"

Lin Yiqiu reminded.

When Xia Nianqiao heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment.

It seems that this is indeed the case, and after chatting for a long time, the other party has not mentioned the hostage.

On the contrary, I talked a lot about the geography of the mountains and rivers of the two countries, and even talked about which girl in Qinglou is beautiful!

Lin Yiqiu said again: "So I can conclude that Wu Guo probably didn't want to release people at all this time!" ”

"The so-called exchange of hostages is nothing more than a deliberate attempt to deceive us,"
