Chapter 254: Exchange of Hostages

In the face of such pressure, King Yu naturally agreed to this approach in the end.

However, just sending a post like this was really not enough to push Yan Hu to agree to this way of exchanging hostages, so after Shen Qianwei went back, he quietly let Zheng Han go out.

didn't do anything else, just exchanged King Yu's intention to exchange Jin Mu for King Jin and Linzhou, and the news spread, especially to Yanhu.

There are many people discussing in the tent today, and King Yu did say this, and when it spread, he was not afraid to check it, because he might not be able to find out where the news leaked from.

However, this news has a great effect on Yan Hu.

This is typical, you want to open a window, the other party does not agree, and when you decide not to open the window and want to lift the roof, they will naturally be more willing to open the window for you.

Is it more cost-effective to exchange one person for another, or is it cost-effective to add another city?

The heart has its own measure.

King Yu didn't expect this to happen, and when his subordinates came to report, they had already dispersed.

Sure enough, two or three days after the post was sent to Yanhu, he waited for a reply, and the other party agreed to come to the Beidi army to exchange hostages.

For a while, several generals who followed King Jin were all happy.

In their opinion, Shen Qianwei and King Jin are brothers-in-law in the end, and they are indeed towards King Jin, but Shen Qianwei knows in his heart that he is just doing things for the emperor.

The emperor wants King Jin to come back alive, he will protect it, if he doesn't want to, he will naturally do it.

In any case, the current plan to rescue King Jin is finally a step forward.

A few days later, when it was time to exchange hostages, the Yanhu people took the king of Jin and entered the Beidi military camp.

Headed by is one of Yan Hu's princes, Jin Mu's uncle, named Jin Wushuo.

The man is very strong, but although the appearance is rough, his eyes are sharp, thick and thin, and he is not reckless.

He led the team, and Yan Hu came with a total of twenty people, all of whom were elite warriors, and then the King of Jin who was brought by them.

In the past few months, King Jin has lost weight, his cheeks are sunken, and his beard has not been shaved much, although his spirit looks good, and his clothes are neat, but he has obviously suffered hardships.

However, Jin Mu did not have a good time in the Beidi army, and he was just as embarrassed.

So after the two sides looked at each other, they didn't say anything else.

As long as you're alive and you can take it back.

"I didn't expect that you would come and take this trip in person, and hand over the people to us, and the two princes would be able to take them away." King Yu didn't smile when he smiled.

Jin Wushuo is the same, "This king is the king, Your Excellency is also the king, isn't this all the same, but just like this to you, I don't feel at ease, it's better to bother you to go too, the person we sent to pick up is at the border, and when you get there, I will naturally let your King Jin leave." ”

When these words came out, King Yu glanced at him, and suddenly shook his head and chuckled as if he had heard some joke.

"Please take a closer look, this is Beidi's military camp, and you want to negotiate terms with this king?"

"It's true." The smile on Jin Wushuo's face gradually retracted, and his eyes showed a fierce look, "He has already taken poison, if there is no antidote within three hours, he will definitely die of poison, this antidote is on the border between the two countries, in the hands of my subordinates." ”

Seeing him like this, King Yu's face gradually became cold and hard.

He snorted contemptuously, and then raised his hand to signal.

Immediately afterwards, the four guards standing beside Jin Mu restrained the man and put the knife on his neck.

"This king already knew that Yan Hu was cunning, but this hostage is not in your hands, since you are willing to risk coming, it can be seen that the lives of these two princes are valuable, if you don't come to the antidote, this king will immediately strangle Jin Mu, and you don't want to get out of this camp alive!"

"You're not afraid that he will die of poison?" Jin Wushuo raised his voice and pointed at King Jin, "Don't think that this king doesn't know, your emperor has long been suspicious of you, if you don't save his son today, you will also die!" ”

The two sides were so tense that the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Some people want to persuade and speak, but they don't dare to speak easily, they are anxious.

However, there are still those who must be hard-headed, such as General Li, who stood up at this time and said to King Yu.

"The prince is angry, the most important thing at the moment is that His Royal Highness the King of Jin returns safely, otherwise if the emperor blames him, you can't afford to get drunk."

Seeing that someone had come up first, Shen Qianwei stepped forward slightly and whispered in King Yu's ear.

"They just want to have their own army to protect them and be less dangerous, and now Jin Mu is in our hands, and they also have bargaining chips, don't forget, the emperor values King Jin."

In the past few days, Shen Qianwei rarely uses Emperor Jianning to suppress King Yu, but now he can't help but do so, after all, King Yu can't deliberately make the scene stiff and let this hostage exchange fail.

King Yu listened to the voice in his ear, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately glanced sideways at Shen Qianwei.

Shen Qianwei could feel the unkindness of that gaze, but he didn't shy away from it at all, and confronted it.

After a while, King Yu still withdrew his gaze and looked at Jin Wushuo again.

"Okay, just do as you say, go to the border."

Sooner or later, people will have to be rescued, and it is easy to start under their noses, King Yu swept the opposite side of the mouth that was sealed, and the King of Jin, whose eyes were full of unwillingness, seemed to look at a dead fish on the chopping board.

And the first person standing at the door listened to the movement inside, and also looked inside.

It was not someone else on duty, it was Zheng Han.

He looked in through the gap in the curtain, and happened to meet Shen Qianwei's eyes, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and the curtain was lowered.

According to Yan Hu's request, they were in front, Beidi was behind, and retreated to the border between the two countries.

King Yu naturally led a large army to suppress the formation, and the number of people would not be less than that of Yan Hu's army.

After retreating to the border, there was only a hundred meters between the two armies.

Jin Wushuo brought King Jin back, took the antidote and gave it to him, and then pushed the person out again.

"You and I will each send two escorts to alternately, a gentleman's covenant!"

"Good!"

King Yu responded, turned his head and glanced at Shen Qianwei and a soldier standing behind him.

The meaning is obvious, this is to ask him to send Jin Mu over and then bring King Jin back.

Of course, this is an extremely high-risk errand, and if you can't do it well, you will have to carry the black pot, but the officials will crush people to death, and this is especially true in the military camp, so Shen Qianwei has no choice but to list.

Together with another soldier, he bet on Jin Mu to go to the middle of the swap position, and the other party did the same.

Shen Qianwei looked at King Jin who was slowly approaching on the opposite side as he walked, and faintly, he felt that something was wrong in his heart.

There is a problem with the way I walk, it seems that my back is rickety, and my walking is a little vain.

Obviously, he was in the Beidi military camp just now, and he was still thin but powerful and energetic, so why was something wrong at this moment.

Hiding such a doubt, after getting closer, the two sides exchanged, and when Shen Qianwei helped King Jin over, he made a sad appearance and whispered in his ear.

"The prince is relieved, the side concubine has a miscarriage, and the long-life lock that you let your subordinates order to play is useless."

Hearing this, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed grief.

Seeing his sadness, Shen Qianwei's eyes lit up, he drew his knife and turned around, neatly killed a Yanhu person, and dragged Jin Mu, who hadn't taken two steps, back. And put a knife against his neck.
