The Northern Barbarian envoy, who had no idea about what happened to the Iron Wolf tribe, was like an ant on a hot pot at this moment.
How many days have passed, why hasn't there been any news from the Emperor?
The people of the Iron Wolf tribe don't know if they have found His Highness the Crown Prince, and there is also no news.
He couldn't leave Chu Wenjin to carry grain and move around freely in their northern barbarian country. He was so anxious that he couldn't do anything at all.
"Is the messenger ready for dinner?"
The Northern Barbarian envoys trembled when they heard this voice, but they had to stand up to entertain them.
"Chu Shangshu, there is no need to care about me so much."
"The envoy does not want to see anyone else. It has been almost two months since we traveled all the way from Yunxiao Kingdom to this place. I have already regarded the envoy as one of my own."
The Northern Barbarian envoy was about to jump. If their emperor heard this and lost the prince, would he still be alive?
"Chu Shangshu must be careful, after all, we are each our own masters."
"Messenger, don't speak too early, why don't you take a look at this first."
Chu Wenjin said as he placed a letter in front of the Northern Barbarian envoy.
The Northern Barbarian envoy picked up the letter suspiciously. On the envelope, there was the totem sealing wax of the Iron Wolf tribe.
"This is?"
Chu Wenjin had already sat down by himself.
"The messenger will know after you open it and take a look."
The Northern Barbarian envoy held the envelope but did not dare to open it.
"May I ask Master Chu, where did you get this letter?"
"Of course, I intercepted you halfway."
Chu Wenjin didn't have the slightest sense of shame in such matters, so it was taken for granted.
"Here, why did you intercept the letter from the Iron Wolf tribe? And why did you show it to me?"
Chu Wenjin said sincerely:
"Didn't I just say that I regarded the envoy as one of my own? How could I bear the heart and watch the envoy die innocently?"
The Northern Barbarian envoy opened his eyes wide in shock.
"Death, death? Hahaha, Chu Shangshu, you can't say this nonsense. I am so good, how could I die?"
Although he said this, he was scared to death in his heart. Chu Wenjin would never say this to him for no reason, there must be a trace.
Chu Wenjin pointed to the envelope in the envoy's hand.
"If the messenger can trust me, just open it and take a look. You will know the specific reason at a glance. If you don't believe it, then I will send this letter to the place where it should go. I am afraid that I will need it soon.
Send the messenger off."
The Northern Barbarian envoy held the letter like a hot potato. It was so hot that he put it down.
Although he could not trust Chu Wenjin, he cherished his life.
The messenger was finally cruel and opened the envelope from the Iron Wolf Tribe. He nervously pulled out the letter inside and unfolded it.
What catches the eye is:
"The widow of the leader of the Iron Wolf Tribe reported to the Emperor in tears."
The Northern Barbarian envoy shivered and knelt on the ground. This was a letter written by the wife of the leader of Iron Wolf to the emperor, and he actually asked him to open it.
If the emperor knew about it, he would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Chu Wenjin said helplessly from the side:
"Messenger, why bother with this great gift? I've already opened it, so why don't you read the letter first?"
Only then did the Northern Barbarian envoy come to his senses. The person in front of him was not their Northern Barbarian Emperor, but the Minister of Chu of the Yunxiao Kingdom.
He quickly got up and continued reading the letter.
As Chu Wenjin said, he has dismantled them all, and it doesn't make much difference whether he looks at them or not.
"The envoy to the Yunxiao Kingdom was supposed to repay the emperor's kindness, but instead he secretly colluded with the Minister of Chu of the Yunxiao Kingdom.
First, it was designed to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disappear, and his life and death were uncertain, and then he put the blame on our Iron Wolf Tribe, in an attempt to alienate the Emperor and the Iron Wolf Tribe who are loyal to you."
The Northern Barbarian envoy's eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"This, what is going on? I, when did I secretly collude with you, Minister of Chu? It is even more nonsense to blame the Iron Wolf tribe!"
"The envoy had no intention of harming others, but they did not want to leave a way for the envoy to survive. It must be the Iron Wolf tribe, fearing that the prince's disappearance would be implicated, so they put all the blame on the envoy."
Chu Wenjin's analysis was so clear that even the wary Northern Barbarian envoy couldn't help but believe it.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human nature.
But how could Chu Wenjin know the contents of this letter? The envelope had obviously not been opened?
"Chu Shangshu, could this letter be forged by you?"
"As for the person from the Iron Wolf tribe who sent the message, does the envoy want to meet him in person?"
Chu Wenjin said this, but the Northern Barbarian envoys were still hesitant to believe it. If faith can be counterfeited, can't people also counterfeit it?
"Messenger, there is no need to guess. I might as well speak frankly to you. The brother-in-law of the leader of the Iron Wolf Tribe has some friendship with me."
After he finished speaking, he successfully saw the Northern Barbarian envoy's jaw drop once again.
"Without the tip-off from someone inside the Iron Wolf Tribe, how could I know the inside story? Messenger, can you ask me to put the person who sent the message back to the Iron Wolf Tribe alive?"
The Northern Barbarian envoy is now in a state of confusion. Chu Wenjin arrested the messenger and then released him. Doesn't this mean that he and Chu Wenjin were secretly colluding?
Fortunately, he knew clearly that Chu Wenjin was not a good man or woman. If not, he would have fallen into Chu Wenjin's way.
However, now he has been forced to ride on a tiger by Chu Wenjin.
"Chu Shangshu, what do you want to get from me by putting so much effort into this?"
Chu Wenjin then raised his lips and smiled, as long as we have something to talk about.
"The envoy is clear. Prince Beiye is missing. Your emperor is furious and has sent people to arrest the deputy leader of the Iron Wolf tribe. The sister of the deputy leader is eager to save her brother, so naturally she wants to blame all the crimes on the envoy."
The Northern Barbarian envoy looked in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, he took action against the Iron Wolf Tribe? Why didn't I know?"
After he asked, he remembered that there was no one available around him, so the news was naturally blocked.
But the Iron Wolf tribe is the emperor's confidant, how could this happen?
"Your Majesty, in order to find out the whereabouts of Prince Kitano, you have taken action on his confidants. It is also true that the envoy is close to me. The envoy thinks that your emperor would rather believe that he is there than that he is not?"
The Northern Barbarian envoy's heart has sunk to the bottom. His Royal Highness has not been found yet? He is really going to die! But why did Chu Wenjin say this to him?
"Master Chu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Chu Wenjin said bluntly:
"Our Emperor, the Yunxiao Kingdom, is open-minded and appoints people on their merits. If the envoy abandons the dark side and joins the bright side, when the second prince takes control of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom in the future, there will naturally be no shortage of the envoy's place."
The Northern Barbarian envoy hesitated. The emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom, Jun Lingyun, might really be a meritocracy, but he was open-minded and he really didn't dare to compliment him.
What the envoy was more concerned about was the second half of what Chu Wenjin said.
The second prince, controls the Northern Barbarian Kingdom? The Northern Barbarian envoy had goosebumps all over his body.
Thinking of the prince's disappearance, he looked at Chu Wenjin with some horror. The more calmly Chu Wenjin smiled, the more timid he became.
The Emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom really played a great game of chess!
