Before Xiao Chaoguo entered the palace, Xiao Pingsi had already received news that he was back.
Sure enough, Xiao Chaoguo rode fast and entered the palace before returning to Xuanjiansi.
"Your Majesty, would you like to call Commander Mo?"
When Wang Feng heard that Xiao Chaoguo was coming, he quickly reminded His Majesty that he was an insidious and bold master.
If he were to carry out an assassination in the palace, he, a chief eunuch who was not on the expert list, would be no match for him.
"It's okay." Xiao Pingsi waved his hand lightly.
Wang Feng had no choice but to retreat, but he still straightened his body and was ready to take action at any time.
"..." Xiao Pingsi sighed secretly when he saw this.
He knew that he, the manager, was really a bit timid. Every time a master came to see him, he was always worried that someone would assassinate him.
However, Xiao Pingsi will not attack Wang Feng. After all, he is serious and conscientious in his work and deserves recognition.
In case someone is really bold in the future, this can be regarded as a preventive measure.
A moment later, following outside the royal study, a eunuch on duty shouted: "Master Xiao is here..."
Wang Feng shouted: "Xuan..."
As Xiao Chaoguo came in, Wang Feng looked at him warily.
Feeling hostility, Xiao Chaoguo glanced at Wang Feng, turned away without leaving any trace, and looked at His Majesty.
"I, Xiao, pay homage to Your Majesty."
In order to make everyone less nervous, Xiao Chaoguo paid a rare bow.
Wang Feng was indeed relieved and no longer stared at Xiao Chaoguo.
After the emperor shouted "Ping Shen", Xiao Chaoguo stood up and reported: "I have something to report."
"I was just about to ask, Xiao Qing, it will take at least two or three days for you to go to Qinzhou, why did you come back so soon?"
Xiao Pingsi was confused. He didn't know the follow-up news about Qinzhou. Although the army set off, it would take at least half a month for the vanguard battalion to arrive.
Traveling with a large army is not like rushing for 800 miles, just a few people rushing madly.
Considering the weight of the food and baggage and the speed of the infantry without horses, the marching speed will naturally not be fast.
Unless it is a full cavalry, the baggage still needs to be accompanied slowly.
"Your Majesty, I was indeed going to Qinzhou, but on the way I met the Xuanjian Division's messenger who was coming back from Qinzhou, so I rushed back without stopping."
Xiao Chaoguo reported seriously, but Xiao Pingsi thought: "Has something happened in Qinzhou again?"
What kind of news could make a steady man like Xiao Chaoguo immediately give up the idea of going to Qinzhou to capture Yue Pingchuan and go straight to the capital.
Wang Feng pricked up his ears secretly.
"Your Majesty is wise..."
Xiao Chaoguo, who was accustomed to patting his horse, got down to business: "According to the messenger from the Xuanjian Division, His Majesty's Black Dragon Cavalry is entrenched on the road that must pass between Qinzhou and the capital. Yue Pingchuan is intimidated and does not dare to move forward."
"Hmph!" Xiao Pingsi sneered proudly. He knew best the combat power of the Black Dragon Riders, they were all truly elite.
In this vast area, all over the world, the Black Dragon Riders dare to say they are invincible!
Xiao Chaoguo paused and told the shocking news: "So, Yue Pingchuan turned around and headed west... towards the border between Daxia and Xichu..."
"What?"
Xiao Pingsi responded: "Yue Pingchuan wants to defect to Western Chu?"
This was beyond Xiao Pingsi's expectation. He originally thought that Yue Pingchuan was so ambitious that he would insist on waiting for a response from his allies in Beijing.
Unexpectedly, he was so decisive that he put down his "great cause" and turned around to break through to the west.
"Where is Pingxi Prince's Mansion?"
"Hundreds of thousands of troops, watching Yue Pingchuan cross the border?"
Xiao Pingsi said angrily: "On the Western Xinjiang Front, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, are they all doing nothing?!"
The loud and sudden voice made Wang Feng tremble.
"Your Majesty, calm down..."
Xiao Chaoguodao: "Yue Pingchuan found the opportunity, and Western Chu was eyeing it. Prince Pingxi did not dare to mobilize troops easily, fearing that Western Chu would invade... and only sent 10,000 light cavalry to intercept it."
"The soldiers and horses on the Western Front are also blocking Yue Pingchuan. Most of his troops have been detained outside Qinzhou...but Yue Pingchuan and his cronies have disappeared."
Hearing this, Xiao Pingsi looked embarrassed.
"He actually gave up his troops and fled westward... It seems that he just wanted to save his life."
Xiao Chaoguo nodded and said seriously: "Yue Pingchuan seemed to understand that no one would respond to him. There was no way to survive under the siege and interception of the Black Dragon Riders and the rebel army... so he resolutely surrendered to the enemy."
"We cannot let this traitor go unpunished, Your Majesty!" Xiao Chaoguo said with integrity.
"Xi Chu..."
Xiao Pingsi snorted: "Come on, order the cabinet to draw up a letter of credence. According to the terms discussed with the Western Chu envoy last time, add a condition... Let the Western Chu State hand over the rebellious Yue Pingchuan!"
"Here..." Outside the palace, the eunuch was ordered to leave.
Xiao Chaoguo sighed: "But Western Chu...most likely will not hand over Yue Pingchuan, or even admit that Yue Pingchuan has entered the border of Western Chu."
"hehe."
The emperor sneered.
Xiao Pingsi suddenly felt that Yue Pingchuan had done him a favor.
Seeing that Xi Chu took the initiative to make good friends, there was no reason to raise troops... If Xi Chu really allowed Yue Pingchuan to pass through the border, then this could be used as a reason to launch a war at any time.
We have a traitor who has escaped to your country. We want to search him...
What, not giving it? That means you are at fault and intending to hide it... Then I have to send troops to find it myself.
As for where to find this rebellious person, am I not the one who has the final say?
"Your Majesty, do you need to mobilize the secret agents of the Xuanjian Division in Western Chu to kill Yue Pingchuan at all costs to uphold the law of the country?" Xiao Chaoguoyi asked righteously.
Xiao Pingsi shook his head: "It is not easy to plant spies in a foreign country. We cannot let them be exposed and sacrificed for this."
"Your Majesty...mercy..."
Xiao Chaoguo understood the emperor's thoughts after just one careful look and was immediately impressed.
This is His Majesty the Emperor, and his strategic vision is beyond his reach...
"correct……"
Xiao Pingsi suddenly thought of something and suggested: "Yue Pingchuan must have an internal agent in Beijing... The Xuanjian Division must not slack off and find this person... No matter how long it takes, there must be a result."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty..."
Xiao Chaoguo breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, Xuanjian Division had to squeeze some time to do things.
There is no time limit this time. It seems that in His Majesty's eyes, this matter is difficult to investigate, so he does not deliberately make it difficult.
…
Xiao Chaoguo returned to Beijing, and the Xuanjian Division was naturally under his control, and Ye Hongyi felt relieved.
"What? You said Yue Pingchuan fled to Xichu?"
Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi and was a little surprised to learn the latest news.
The land of Qinzhou is only separated from Western Chu by Pingxi Palace, which is the western border.
Yue Pingchuan fled to Western Chu, which was a way of survival.
Looking at Fang Jue with a surprised look on his face, Ye Hongyi felt a little more comfortable. She had seen so much wisdom in this young man during these days.
It can surprise him and give him some comfort.
"The news came a bit slowly. On the day Master left the capital, Yue Pingchuan had already fled westward..."
Fang Jue: "I understand... This Yue Pingchuan is not bad at all. He must have reacted and decisively cut off his tail to survive."
This matter is not considered confidential, and all ministries will know about it soon. Ye Hongyi told Fang Jue the details.
"If only Yue Pingchuan and a few people escape, it won't affect the overall situation, but they will be ridiculed by the enemy..."
Ye Hongyi snorted coldly: "If Xichu dares to accept Yue Pingchuan, he is provoking me, Daxia!"
"They haven't provoked enough?" Fang Jue didn't care, "But how often have they just let it go... National war is not something that can be started easily."
Hearing this, Ye Hongyi was also a little helpless.
The battle front is too long, there is nothing we can do, and Daxia has suffered from natural and man-made disasters in the past few years...it is poor.
"But you are right, the Yue Pingchuan incident will become a name, and my master Wang can use it to attack Xi Chu at any time... But right now, everything is not ready, so let's forget it."
Fang Jue smiled, and he suddenly felt that this matter might be in line with the emperor's wishes.
Yue Pingchuan did not take away the army, but escaped alone, heading to Western Chu.
If Xichu takes him in this time, I am afraid that not only will His Majesty the Emperor not assassinate Yue Pingchuan, but he will also hope that he lives for a few more days... until Daxia prepares everything.
"Sir, what you said makes sense. Master seems to have said this too." Ye Hongyi's eyes lit up.
Fang Jue looked at her and suddenly said:
"The Ye family... is going to be in trouble."
"Ah?" Ye Hongyi was suddenly startled, looked at Fang Jue, pursed her lips and said, "Sir, do you want to... want to take a breath of bad breath?"
"It's not me...it's His Majesty."
Fang Jue shook his head: "The Ye family leaked the secret this time without Your Majesty and the overall situation in mind; the old Duke forced Your Majesty to destroy the marriage decree; and the Ye family was almost related to the King of Qin and Yue Pingchuan... Any reason is enough to make Ye
The family fell out of favor.”
"Next, the Ye family's former enemies will seize the opportunity to retaliate... Don't get involved, otherwise His Majesty will know that you have deep entanglements with the Ye family, and you will eventually be implicated."
Fang Jue reminded Ye Hongyi that at this moment, the Ye family had done everything themselves.
Remind her not to involve herself in it.
"Thank you sir for the tip..."
"Sir...are you worried about Hongyi?" Ye Hongyi suddenly smiled playfully.
Fang Jue turned his face away, half of his cheeks blushing slightly.
Just when Ye Hongyi wanted to make a few more jokes, Dianyi came in, and she immediately became serious and pretended to drink tea.
However, Dianyi did not look at her. He walked to Fang Jue and said, "Young Master, King Jin is here again. He said he was ordered to do something about the potatoes and corn before..."
