Chapter 269
Zhu Qiyu and Chen Ying looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

It turned out that Fan Lai was coerced to go to Qinghua this time.

When the Ming army landed from Champa and attacked Annan, Fan Lai was very close to the Ming army because he could speak Chinese, so he got a chance to be promoted.

However, this time and that time also.

At the beginning, it was because Champa was in critical condition and urgently needed help from the Ming army. Therefore, they wanted to do everything in their power to please Daming. At this time, the role of Fan Lai was manifested.

But now, Annan has been destroyed, and Champa has no more foreign troubles, so the existence of Fan Lai has become more subtle.

You are a citizen of my Champa Kingdom, why are you so close to Daming?
Is there any attempt to fail?
But this time, King Zhancheng secretly sent soldiers and horses to intercept and kill his own father halfway, but he didn't dare to offend Daming openly, so he had to lie and call him a bandit.

Since there were officials from the imperial court of Ming Dynasty in the team, and the scene of the crime was in Champa, it would be unreasonable to pretend not to know, so we needed to send someone to Tsinghua to explain to Daming.

But he was very clear in his heart, others are not fools, how could they not see his little tricks?
Therefore, the candidate for the envoy to Qinghua this time fell on Fan Lai.

If it angered Ming Ting and killed Fan Lai, it would be as he wished.

If Daming is really dissatisfied, the frontline soldiers will never easily use troops against Champa without the emperor's will.

From Qinghua to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the distance is more than ten thousand miles away. I can take advantage of the inconvenience of the other party to pass the information, and go back and forth on this matter. After a year or so, maybe the other party's anger will disappear and the matter will pass. .

If it really doesn't work, I will pay you some money, and at worst, I will give you the port in the end.

Zhu Qiyu figured this out, and secretly sighed in his heart that King Zhancheng was cruel and ruthless. For the sake of power struggle, even his own father, uncle, and capable generals were all mercilessly abandoned.

He first ordered people to take Fan Lai down, and then discussed countermeasures with Zhang Fu, Chen Ying and others.

Zhang Fu was naturally furious. Annan had already captured the city. How could he dare to make a mistake?

Zhu Qiyu's attitude towards Zhancheng is of course fighting, but launching a war against neighboring countries is no longer up to him as a prince.

This matter must be reported to the court, and a decision will be made after the emperor and the cabinet discuss it.

However, it takes at least two to three months to wait this time.

During this period, you can only watch King Zhancheng succeed in his tricks, but you can't send troops to beat him, isn't it a shame?
There is also Fan Lai, who is still friendly to Daming, but he will lose the lives of his parents, wife and children because of this.

Now should I let him go back and pretend not to know, or what should I do?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Chen Ying suddenly coughed untimely.

Zhu Qiyu looked over, but saw that his expression was a little strange.

"Duke Yasukuni, are you sick?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "This, this..."

Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Actually, before leaving Beijing, the emperor specially gave me a kit."

Chen Ying groped around for a long time, and finally found a small kit.

"A kit? What is this?"

"The emperor said that if everything goes well on the front line, you can just throw away this kit, but..."

Chen Ying handed over the kit and continued: "The emperor also said that if the Champa Kingdom does not fulfill its promise, I can open it when I am undecided on the front line."

Zhu Qiyu took it, opened it slowly, and took out a note from inside.

Chen Ying himself had never seen it before, so he leaned forward, widened his eyes, and waited to read the words on it.

On this note, there are only three big characters written:
Fuck it!
Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhang Fu, then at Chen Ying, and the three of them let out a long breath at the same time.

It turned out that the emperor had thought of it a long time ago!
That being the case, what are you waiting for, just do it!

Zhu Qiyu suddenly felt at ease in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Jing'an County King!"

Zhang Fu saluted: "The minister is here!"

"Assemble the troops and prepare to attack Champa!"

"Yes!"

"Duke Yasukuni!"

"Chen is here!"

"How much ammunition is left in the Shenji Battalion?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there are still 150 rounds of shells, about [-] mines and grenades, and enough ammunition for rifles!"

These ammunition were originally prepared for Shenglong City.

However, Rising Dragon City basically broke down without much effort, which also saved a lot of ammunition.

Now it is just right for attacking Champa.

"In this battle, the Shenji Battalion will still take the water route and take Champa in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!"

…………

Ten days later, Fan Lai returned to Sangha Polo City to return to his command.

Champa King Maha Pancha was slightly surprised when he saw Fan Lai: "What did the Ming court say?"

According to the plan, Fan Lai said: "Return to Your Majesty, King Tan was very angry when he heard the news, and said, said..."

Maha Pancha looked gloomy, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"

"That king, actually openly accused His Majesty of being incapable of governing, and said, also said..."

"What else?"

"Also...the deadline is one month. If within one month, His Majesty cannot catch the bandits and take them to Qinghua City, he will ask the Emperor of Ming Dynasty for orders and order His Majesty!"

Hearing this answer, the stone in Maha Pancha's heart finally fell to the ground.

He is not afraid of warnings or punishments, but he is afraid that people will not believe him!
Hearing Fan Lai's answer, did the other party believe in the so-called robbers hurting people?

He still had some doubts in his heart, and asked again: "Is that all you said? Nothing else?"

Fan Lai shook his head and said, "No more!"

Maha Pancha thought to himself, it seems that fishing in troubled waters has succeeded, and next, Daming will definitely send another envoy to discuss the port, and then argue with them first, and delay as long as possible.

"Since that's the case, I'll leave it to you to encircle and suppress the bandits!"

"The minister takes orders!"

"You go and get [-] people now, and try your best to arrest the bandits. If the time limit given by the king of Tan is exceeded..."

Having said that, Maha Pancha suddenly elongated his tone and looked sideways at Fan Lai.

How could Fan Lai not understand, so he said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will not disgrace the mission!"

"Okay, you go down!"

"His Majesty……"

Fan Lai asked cautiously: "The minister's parents, wife and children..."

"do not worry!"

Maha Pancha smiled and said: "During your mission to Qinghua, your family has been guarded by soldiers, and nothing will happen to them. Now that you have returned safely, those soldiers will naturally Withdrew."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fan Lai bowed and saluted, and then walked out of the hall, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

I am a dignified commander of the left sentry army, now I have no military power, and I still think that if I can't catch the bandits and pin the pot on my head, it's really a good idea!
