The palace of the Chechi royal court and the movement of the Turkic prince suddenly became extremely boiling and noisy as if they had exploded, making everyone feel uneasy.

It turned out that Lord Emmeni, the leader of the Persian Empire's merchant mission, the teacher of the Persian Emperor's little emperor, the chief adviser of the Imperial Palace, and the business tycoon of the Western Continent, was actually kidnapped by bandits in broad daylight at the Chechi royal court!

Duolun, the leader of the tracing group, felt that his head was instantly bigger at this moment: Princess Hestya and Miss Effantia hadn't been found yet, but they lost Aimeni first, can you still have a good time?!

Prince Gune, who has always been gentle and kind, is like a dead father at this time, jumping to scold Duolun, Kunli Mingtai and Chechi King Gelhan. Speaking of excitement, Gune actually pulled out the scimitar of the guards next to him, and was about to kill the three fools on the spot.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Durham, who was standing aside, hugged the weak prince in time, so that the most embarrassing bloodshed tragedy in Turkic history was not caused.

After Prince Goone's temper tantrum, Gerhan immediately imposed martial law throughout the city in accordance with Doron's arrangement, and went from house to house to find Emmeni. Chechi's military also urgently summoned the bandits in the nearby hills and the gangs in the towns, and asked them which thieves wanted money and dared to attack the Persian merchant mission.

The 8,000 Turkic garrisons assembled in the royal court rushed out of the city and quickly searched in eight directions.

After a short time, the cavalry that went to the southeast all the way back to report: the whereabouts of Ameni have been discovered!

Looking at the bloodstained officer who led the team, Prince Gune was a little stunned: "Why don't you bring people back to me, big brother?" ”

"Your Highness, my lords, we almost snatched people back," the Turkic officer said aggrievedly, "The other side has nearly a thousand horse thieves to respond, and there was a fierce battle with us......"

Durham didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and scolded angrily: "Bastard! You have a team of 1,000 men and horses, and you can't even beat a thousand horse thieves! ”

As the chief general of the garrison, Duolun also felt embarrassed at this time, and couldn't help but shout: "What the hell is going on?" You can't even beat the horse thief, and you still have the face to come back to see me alive?! ”

The officer hurriedly explained: "This is not the case! Master Hou, General, horse thieves are not the key issue, even if there are one or two thousand more, we are not afraid. The problem is somewhere else...... Just when we had the upper hand and the horse thieves were gradually unable to resist, the white-robed army suddenly arrived! ”

As soon as they heard the words "white-robed army", Durham, Duolun, and Gelhan suddenly felt tight.

Damn! It's Li Jiangyao again!

The commander of the local patrol force in Chechi hurriedly explained for his subordinates: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Hou, this really can't be blamed for not working hard. Recently, the bandits in the area of Metasequoia City have been very violent, and they have brazenly played the banner of 'Zhenjiang Army' and gathered tens of thousands of people. Especially the ghost-faced white-robed army, which has come and gone without a trace, and its combat power is strong......"

"Enough! Shut up! The Marquis of Durham angrily interrupted the commander's words: "Mother, grow the morale of others, and destroy your own prestige!" ”

When Prince Gune heard that the Zhenjiang army had actually intervened, he suddenly lost his mind. He pondered for a moment and looked at everyone suspiciously: "Didn't you say that the Saint Tang Protectorate's Zhenjiang Protectorate was completely wiped out in the Battle of Crescent Bay?" Why is there a Zhenjiang army suddenly appearing on the side of Metasequoia City now? ”

Durham pouted his beard and was silent, Gelhan lowered his head and pretended not to hear, and Duolun had to reply stubbornly when he saw this: "Your Highness, the Saint Tang Town Frontier Protectorate and the Fierce Blade Legion have indeed been wiped out by our army in Crescent Bay, and the area around Metasequoia City is their remnant force, and the leader of the bandits is Captain Li Jiangyao." ”

"Remnants? Can the remnants be in the tens of thousands? Are you fools to be kings? Prince Goonee was so angry that he stomped his feet: "You guys! You are deceiving the Great Khan! No, the Persian merchant mission is very important, and there must be no slip up the drain on the part of the Ameni! Send troops, send troops immediately, go and get people back for me! ”

-

Just when the prince of Turkic Gune was anxious and clamoring for the generals to send troops to save people, the poor kidnapped meat ticket, Lord Ameni of the Persian Empire, was munching on cantaloupe and holding his precious daughter in tears.

Early yesterday morning, as usual, after breakfast, Aimeni slipped to the back garden of the Chechi royal court for a walk. Seeing that the days were passing day by day, and her daughter Effentia was still not heard from, Ameni patted her big belly depressedly, feeling that she had lost weight recently.

Just as he was worried about Effantia, there were two muffled sounds not far behind him. Emmeni subconsciously looked back and couldn't help but be surprised. Originally, the two bodyguards who were not far behind him had been knocked to the ground at this moment. Ameni was about to call out when suddenly it went dark, and a huge sack slammed down from the top of his head, filling him with his whole body.

Then the old man felt his feet off the ground, and he was being carried up and running.

At this time, Ameni was still in the mood to secretly ponder: with his own weight, the person who carried him really had the strength to do it.

Dizzy, Emmeni was carried far away and then thrown into a carriage. Instinct alone can tell, the carriage does not stop, galloping non-stop, and in a moment it runs out of the city.

To say that Emmeni is the one who has seen the world. By this time, he had calmed down from the previous shock, and quickly thought, who had kidnapped him?

Could it be the Turks or the Chechi?

It doesn't make sense.

The other party has no motive or need to offend the Persian Empire he represents in this way.

Could it be a political enemy at home?

Also unlikely.

His old rival, Prince Giroumount of Persia, had this motive, but Western Xinjiang and Persia were far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and Giroumount did not have such strength.

Who could that be?

Emmeni's brain was racing, and he kept guessing and analyzing, but it was always difficult to figure out a clue.

The carriage ran wildly, except for the rest of the time, when some food and water were brought to him, and the rest of the time, he was locked in the dark carriage.

The only thing Emmeni could perceive was a few commotions outside.

At first, it seemed that the Turks had caught up with him first, and almost stopped the carriage he was in; After a while, it seemed that a large number of cavalry and horses had arrived quickly, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle; Then, I heard the Turks suddenly shouting something "ghost-faced white-robed army", and then fled one after another.

After tossing and turning for most of the day, the outside finally calmed down again, and the carriage loaded with him continued to hurry.

In this way, Ameni could not understand the time or direction, and it took about two days for the car to stop.

Suddenly, there was a lot of talking and footsteps outside the carriage, and the door was slammed open.

The strong sunlight was so dazzling that Ameni couldn't help but squint. After waiting for a while, he calmly adjusted his clothes and said in a skillful voice: "Dear friend, I am the Ameni of the Persian Empire, what is your intention in kidnapping me here...... My mother...... Good baby? ”

Standing in front of the car door at this moment is his daughter Effantia, who he thinks about day and night!

Ameni guessed a thousand and thought ten thousand, but he never expected that it was his own good daughter who kidnapped him. At this time, the old man could no longer care about the pain he had been afraid of, and when the father and daughter saw each other, they hugged each other tightly, tears welling up. Effentia also cried with joy, wiping tears from her eyes as she told her father about her past experiences.

Emmeni knew that this was not the place to talk, so he calmed down and smiled and asked his daughter to introduce him to the new friends standing nearby. And when he heard that the smiling young officer in front of him was Li Jiangyao, the captain of the Zhenjiang Military Academy who was known to everyone in the Chechi royal court, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise and looked at the other party carefully.

As for Li Jiangyao, he also looked at Poster with great interest, facing Aimeni's gaze, not giving an inch.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Aimeni arched his hand first, and said in the Shengtang dialect: "General Li, look up for a long time." ”

Li Jiangyao returned the salute slightly: "Your Excellency the Special Envoy, I am glad to meet you." ”

-

That night, a large feast was held in the palace of Metasequoia City to welcome the arrival of Amini. For a time, the banquet was staggered, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. On the second day, in the company of Effentia, Ameni experienced the customs and trade of the city. After that, Li Jiangyao specially held a grand military parade and invited Emmeni to watch it.

Standing on the review stand, Emmeni couldn't help but sigh and admire, and praised the majesty and majesty of the Zhenjiang army, which was a hundred times more elite than the Western Xinjiang army he had seen before. Li Jiangyao was neither modest and polite nor complacent, but just smiled faintly and remained silent.

After the parade, he once again hosted a banquet for Emmeni. However, this time there were many fewer people participating than yesterday, except for Effentia, only Xu Youchang and Xie Tanzhi were present. Due to their identities, the people at the banquet basically didn't talk much after a little greeting, except for Li Jiangyao and Ai Meini, who kept toasting and talking.

Emmeni is an old fox, and he naturally understands it in his heart at this moment: the other party must have something in mind when he "invited" himself so much, and it was shopping and a military parade. If his expectations were correct, Li Jiangyao probably hoped to be recognized or supported by the Persian Empire.

However, thinking about it this way, how could his dignified Lord Ameni be so easily submissive?
