After the dust settles on the death of the crown prince Murphy, Moddy has been tracking down the murderer who killed the three princes of Jian'an Kingdom and the person who put his jade pendant next to the corpse of the three princes, but there is no progress, and things are too strange. Tomorrow, the envoys of the Kingdom of An'an will arrive in the royal city, and they must give an explanation. For this visit, Jian'an Guo displayed 100,000 elite soldiers at the junction of the two countries, ready to go. The courtiers were terrified, but there was also a consensus that no matter what the cost, the two countries should avoid a war, and now the two countries were so disparity in strength that war would largely mean the destruction of the country.

Moddy thought the same way, and tried his best to avoid fighting, now that the situation is just stable, he needs time to restore the strength of the country, at least a few years, at most more than ten years, Moddy believes that with his own ability, he can make Yueyang Kingdom regain power, but he needs time, he needs to maximize the time to give himself and Yueyang Kingdom a chance to breathe.

On the day of the arrival of the envoys, the people avoided the road, the soldiers lined up on both sides of the road at a distance of five meters, eight people in front of them opened the road, and a team in the rear accompanied them, one of whom held the national flag of Jian'an in his hand, waving in the wind. The envoy to Yueyang State was Lu Zhongchen, the left prime minister of Jian'an State, who was ruthless and cunning, mercenary, but he was indeed talented, and he was very willing to do things according to King Jian'an. Prime Minister Lu Cheng sat in the carriage, hugging back and forth, so magnificent! King Yueyang didn't have such a battle when he traveled.

Now that the emperor has handed over all the affairs of the country to Modi, he is about to abdicate. Prince Di handed over the reception of the envoys to the right prime minister, and other ministers obeyed the orders to assist, the right minister was one level older than the left prime minister, and the reception was considered a skip-the-level reception, and the specific details were discussed before the reception, and the envoys were prepared with luxury supplies, dust washing banquets, singing and dancing, beauties, etc., and the most important thing was to prepare heavy gifts for the envoys and Jian'an Guo, which was so heavy that anyone could not refuse to see it.

On the second day, according to etiquette, the envoys should go to the morning court with the courtiers to pay homage to the monarch, but Prime Minister Lu Cheng did not come, and the courtiers whispered in the hall, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only wait. After a long time, the emperor was a little tired, so he explained: "Di'er, you can look at today's matter and deal with it", got up and went back to the inner hall. After a while, Chang Chitose yawned and said, "What kind of thing is this, playing with a woman, decaying like this!" I can't get up, I won't wait", he got up and left. Moody thought to himself, it's okay if Chitose is gone, if he doesn't say something in front of the envoys, it won't end well.

It was nearly noon, and I only heard the shouting outside the hall: "The envoy has arrived!" A lazy figure walked in from the door, and when he arrived in front of the hall, he saw that the emperor was not there, looked at the courtiers on both sides, and said with a little displeasure: "Since the emperor is not there, I don't need to pay homage to the monarch and offer national gifts." But the intentions of our monarch must be conveyed to your country. ”

The courtiers held their breath as if they were prisoners waiting for their sentence to be announced.

"The three princes of our country are extremely intelligent and good-looking, and they are deeply loved by the emperor. Now that he has died tragically in your country, the emperor is full of grief and indignation, and he will definitely seek justice for the three princes. If your country does not hand over the murderer or find someone to confess the crime, the elite of our country will go straight to the royal city, and let the subjects of your country pay for the lives of the three princes. Prime Minister Lu Cheng said unhurriedly, but the words were heavy and seemed to have weight.

The ministers were afraid and did not dare to speak up.

"We are also deeply saddened by the death of the third prince, but there are many strange circumstances in this matter, and the murderer has not yet been identified. Our country is determined to mobilize the strength of the whole country to thoroughly investigate this matter and give your country an explanation. Moody looked at the envoy and said.

"Yes, this murder case is complicated, please give us more time, we will do our best to find out about it." Prime Minister Zuo said.

"Give me more time? How much time do you need? Our emperor mourns and grieves every day, if he doesn't understand this matter as soon as possible, how can he feel at ease?! The emperor can't wait! Our courtiers and millions of soldiers can't wait! "Speak without leaving room for error. Then he said, "A lot of weirdness? Wheels within wheels? Repeating the words of Moddy and Prime Minister Zuo just now, "Hmph! Yes, I heard that a jade pendant was also found near the corpse of the third prince, and this jade pendant is the personal belongings of the eldest son of your emperor, Moddy. It's weird!? He looked at Murdy with a little mockery, and said, "Lord Di, isn't it?" Don't you want to explain? ”

"The jade pendant is indeed mine, but this item was lost long before the crime, as for why it is near the body of the third prince, I am investigating the matter, and there is no result yet," said Murdi.

"That's a good reason! Whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, whether the murderer is you or not, we are a country of Jian'an, and we will never find a civilian or a Jianghu person or an organization to talk about, no matter who the murderer is, the account must always be counted on your Yueyang Kingdom, don't you say? Now that a good prince of my country has died in your Yueyang Kingdom, if you don't do something, how can you face the countries of the world?! Prince Di should understand what I mean," Lu Chengxiang said coldly as he looked at Mo Di.

Without waiting for Moddy to speak, the right prime minister walked to the side of Lu Cheng of Jian'an Kingdom, patted his arm lightly, and said flatteringly: "Having said that, but it is not enough to fight each other, our Yueyang Kingdom is willing to make compensation, such as gold and silver, grain, beauties, goods, and even the city, it is okay, there is something to discuss." Knowing that Prime Minister Lu Cheng is in a high position in Jian'an and is the emperor's confidant, his words have their own weight, I hope that Prime Minister Lu Cheng can maneuver more from it, and the whole country of Yueyang will definitely be grateful for Prime Minister Zuo's kindness and thank Prime Minister again. It seems to be a promise to Prime Minister Lu Cheng, and it is also like a reminder of the heavy gift given to him last night.

Prime Minister Lu Cheng's face softened, and he said: "Our emperor's attitude is resolute and very clear, either bring back the real culprit and ask for the guilt, or attack your country." I have no choice, I have to go back and have an explanation! "It's a bit embarrassing. In fact, he didn't really feel embarrassed, just pretending.

Seeing that it was a stalemate and a dead end, the courtiers were worried, worried, and did not know what to do.

"In this case, I have an idea, Prime Minister Lu Cheng will hear if it is feasible" Murdy looked at the envoy, and then said: "King Jian'an has always been highly respected and deeply aware of righteousness, and he definitely does not want to see the bloody battle between the two countries, and the corpses are everywhere. Now Chen Bing Frontier, Xu is because of grief and unclear things, the three princes died in our country, and my Yueyang country has an unshirkable responsibility. I am willing to personally take the "Compensation Detail" to apologize to King Jian'an and explain the reason. At that time, whether it will be war or retreat, whether it is life or death, it will all be at the disposal of King Jian'an. How is it? ”

Prime Minister Zuo wanted to stop him, "Lord Di, this-" Halfway through speaking, he saw Prince Di cast a resolute look, so he was silent.

The ministers slowly began to whisper below, making Prime Minister Lu Cheng frown and pacing back and forth in the hall, not speaking for a long time, this time it was really embarrassing.

Prince Di glanced at the right prime minister Liu Min, the right prime minister understood, walked next to the envoy and said, "Prime Minister Lu, what are you embarrassed about?" The purpose of your envoy is to bring back the murderer, and the only prince of Yueyang Country, and now the person in charge of Yueyang Kingdom, wants to personally go to King Jian'an to make amends, isn't this better than bringing back any murderer? This is enough to show the sincerity of our country, and it also reflects your meritorious work this time. If you are someone else, who can do this! How to deal with it at that time is up to the king of Jian'an, who will think that you are capable and take into account the overall situation. Do you say? ”

"Alas! All right! Prime Minister Lu Cheng sighed and made a decision. Then he said: "One month, I will buy a month for Prince Di, and it will not be in vain for the hospitality of your country, if you can't see Lord Di in Jian'an City within a month, you will be ready to see you on the battlefield!" ”

"Okay, I'll be there in a month," said Prince Di.

"There's something else to do, so I'll leave first." Prime Minister Lu Cheng said, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

"Prime Minister Lu Cheng, I still have two jars of good wine, I'll send them to you later, the beauties and wine of my Yueyang Kingdom are a must!" The right prime minister said behind him, watching him leave.

"The ministers will go back and each draw up a copy of the "Compensation Detail" for Jian'an Guo, and hand it in tomorrow, I will consider it comprehensively" Prince Di commanded, and said: "The left and right prime ministers, the left and right generals stay, and the others retreat." ”

Prince Di looked at the left and right generals, and ordered the right general to transfer troops and send generals, strengthen the troops at the junction with Jian'an State, and focus on deployment. General Zuo was ordered to set off immediately, stationed at the checkpoint with the largest number of soldiers in Jian'an, and commanded the defense of the border between the two countries. Although I know that I am invincible, I still have to make the necessary preparations. After arranging, let the two leave.

Now there are only three left, the left and right prime ministers and Prince Di, and Prince Di slowly spoke: "I know who killed the third prince." ”

The prime minister was shocked and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's the person who built the country, and it is likely to be the king of Jian'an, who wants to use the death of the third prince as an excuse to attack our country, so that he can justifiably attack our country. He already had the intention of annexing our country. Even if it wasn't the third prince he sent someone to kill, he would have known who the murderer was, otherwise he wouldn't have told the envoy 'either bring the real murderer back or go to war', he knew that we wouldn't be able to get the real murderer." Lord Di said slowly.

"Then since his purpose is to start a war, why do you want to go to Jian'an City in person? Wouldn't it be sent to death! Prime Minister Zuo said worriedly.

"It's just a stopgap measure, I have my own considerations. I'm just preliminarily judging, and you two will think about it when you go back, and you should both go back. Prince Di said, looking a little tired.
