Shu Blossoms

Chapter 146 Negotiate the rescue
Great Zhou Jiankang, Zheng Mansion.

"Aniang, is there any news about Wei'er?"

Zheng Heng hurried into the main hall, and asked the eldest princess and Zheng Ye who were sitting at the top.

"It's a message from General Xiao."

Zheng Heng followed the eyes of the princess and turned around to see Xiao Yucheng who was sitting on the side, and hurriedly saluted, "General Xiao!"

Xiao Yucheng got up to return the salute, Zheng Heng couldn't wait to ask: "General Xiao, where is my sister now?"

Xiao Yucheng didn't know how to answer, and looked at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess sighed: "General Xiao, please bring those people up, we can find a solution if we ask them clearly."

Xiao Yucheng answered yes, then nodded to the attendant standing next to him.

After a while, the attendants brought in a few people from the outside. These people were supported by the servants, and it was a little difficult to move. They were the caravan robbed by He Lianbo.

They rode along with Xiao Yucheng for several days, their legs were worn out and they couldn't walk.

After entering the capital, Xiao Yucheng sent the army back to the camp, and then led them all the way to Zheng's mansion.

The caravan itself has been on the road all year round, but it has never tried to rush back to Jiankang from Yanzhou within ten days, and it feels like its legs are almost useless.

Before he had time to rest, he was summoned by the eldest princess again.

Several people in the caravan saluted the trembling Eldest Princess. The Eldest Princess stood back, clutched the front of her clothes tightly, took a deep breath, and then asked the steward of the caravan in a majestic voice, "Is this the letter you brought back?"

The steward of the caravan quickly responded: "Princess Hui, you are a grassroots!"

"Tell me in detail!"

The eldest princess said again.

The steward of the caravan explained in detail what Amu had asked him to do that day, "That day the lord seemed to be leaving Jinyang for Pingcheng. .”

The steward was a bit hesitant when she said that, the eldest princess could not help but sharpen her voice when she saw it, and urged: "If there is anything else, be sure to tell me one by one, don't hide it!"

Hearing this, the caravan steward knelt down and told them all about He Lianbo robbing them, and the other letter from Shuanglili that the general of Wei took away.

"What did that letter say, why did that person take that letter and return this to you instead!"

The eldest princess's words obviously contained questioning, and the cold air of the people around them was not something they could bear, and they immediately kowtowed for mercy.

"Caomin doesn't know. When the man took the letter, he asked Caomin if he could see a girl. Caomin really didn't see one!"

The eldest princess looked at Zheng Ye in a panic when she heard the words, and Zheng Ye patted her reassuringly, "I think they dare not lie to us, let them go down and change their clothes and eat some food, thanks to them we can know the child news."

At this time, the eldest princess also lost her mind. After hearing what Zheng Ye said, she waved her hands again and again, and a servant came up to take those people down.

When they reached the door, Zheng Heng stopped them with a loud voice: "Remember what happened today, otherwise you will be able to bear the consequences."

Those people repeatedly assured that Zheng Heng let them leave.

After they left, Xiao Yucheng opened his mouth and said to the eldest princess: "I think that among the generals of the Great Wei, the only ones who know the princess is the third prince of the Great Wei, Tuoba Yu, and that Xia Houqing, and the letter is probably also written by the princess. .”

"Then what are they going to do?"

Zheng Heng sat next to Xiao Yucheng, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that they know that Wei'er is in Dawei?"

As soon as these words came out, the room was filled with silence, and the eldest princess was so frightened that her heart jumped.

"I'm afraid this matter must be reported to His Majesty!"

Xiao Yucheng got up and said to Princess Eldest and Zheng Ye, "Nowadays when it comes to the Great Wei, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we may not be able to enter the Great Wei to find the princess with our own strength."

The eldest princess thought for a while, got up and said, "I want to enter the palace!"

"Mother, I'll go with you!"

Zheng Heng said hurriedly.

"I am coming too!"

Now that his daughter may be living in Wei, how can he sit idly by.

They hurried into the palace and told Emperor Zhou about it.

Emperor Zhou's expression was gloomy and he didn't speak for a long time. The eldest princess waited for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I'm going to Dawei to bring Wei'er back."

"Auntie, I'm going too!"

Zheng Heng was the first to respond.

Zheng Ye didn't speak, but his attitude was obviously on his wife's side.

Emperor Zhou sighed, "Sister, this is not a small matter, we have to think about it in the long run."

"You can't leave her alone!"

The eldest princess mistakenly thought that he was going to shirk, and was in a hurry.

"Sister, Wei'er is also the child I love the most, how can I ignore him, but how to take her back, in what name to send people to Dawei, who to send to ensure Wei'er's safety, all of these have to be discussed in the long run ?"

"Sister, give me one day, and I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow."

What did the eldest princess want to say, Zheng Ye quickly stopped her, "Ma'am, what your majesty said is reasonable, this matter is no small matter, if you act rashly, it will cause trouble for Da Zhou and Wei'er. There are Amu and the others beside Wei'er, Wei'er And he's so smart that nothing will happen."

The eldest princess glared at him angrily: "She's just too smart, you're the one who favors her!"

Zheng Ye couldn't help touching his nose and looking at Emperor Zhou. If it was said that the girl who dotes on this girl the most, it would be His Majesty the Emperor.

The eldest princess also turned to face Emperor Zhou, and Emperor Zhou hurriedly said with a guilty conscience: "Sister, you go back first, when I bring Wei'er back this time, I will definitely reprimand her for being so stupid!"

The eldest princess didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only turn around and leave, "I'll come back tomorrow!"

Emperor Zhou quickly waved his hand at Gao Han, "Hurry up and send the eldest princess!"

When the eldest princess left, Emperor Zhou's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Come out, let's continue!"

Mu Wu came out from the shadows, and continued to reply: "There are rumors in Beijing today that the princess of Dazhou was taken captive to Dawei, and there will be a public bidding in Mingyue Tower, and the highest bidder will win!"

"Bastard!" Emperor Zhou was furious, and kicked the cases in front of him, "How dare they insult me, Da Zhou, how dare they treat Wei'er like this, I will never let them go!"

Mu Wu calmly persuaded, "Your Majesty calm down, I feel that there is something strange about this matter at this time!"

"how to say?"

Zhou Di restrained his anger slightly when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice.

"If your Majesty is concerned, you will be confused. You think that Amu sent a letter before and found the princess, but the princess was injured and could not return it for the time being. They should have entered Wei to seek medical treatment for the princess. The letter received by the eldest princess today is also To know that the princess is safe when the letter is delivered."

Mu Wu paused, pondered a little, and continued,
"Then, if the princess is unfortunately taken captive again, it will be after the letter is issued. It has only been more than [-] days since the letter was issued. Based on this date, it should be less than [-] days for the princess to enter Pingcheng. The general news comes from Wei Pingcheng It would take more than a month to spread it to Jiankang. Who has such great energy, or who can predict the foresight, can get the news of the princess's captivity in advance, and spread the news to Jiankang in such a short time. "

After Mu Wu said halfway, Emperor Zhou figured out the key point. After hearing Mu Wuzhi's words, he immediately ordered, "Check!"

"This time is the time to test your effectiveness in the past two months. If this is done well, I will let you appear in front of the world with dignity, just like Cao Wei's school office a hundred years ago!"
