Although I admire King Pingnan as a person, I have never interacted with him before.
Besides, if it was because of Xia Lingfeng's matter, he could just go to Emperor Qian directly. How could he find his head?
But the little eunuch's voice was still coming.
"Lord Governor, King Pingnan sent someone to send a message. He said he would be waiting for you at his residence. You see..."
Lin Yiqiu frowned and thought.
Although he is the governor of Xichang, in terms of substantive status, he cannot compare with such royal relatives.
Moreover, King Pingnan is the most powerful person among the royal relatives, so his power is even greater!
In other words, you have to go even if you want to go, and you have to go if you don’t want to go.
"That's all, let's go and see what's going on. I haven't offended him before, so he won't embarrass me, right?"
Lin Yiqiu thought so.
Under the leadership of the young eunuch, he went straight to Pingnan Prince's Mansion in the west of the capital in a sedan chair.
At this time, inside Prince Pingnan's Mansion.
Pingnan King Xia Yuanju was sitting calmly, waiting for the arrival of the Governor of Xichang.
His face was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, but there was an extremely deep feeling about him!
At this time, a beautiful figure walked out of the house.
"Father, what are you waiting for? This matter is not allowed for outsiders to interfere!"
The speaker was Xia Nianqiao, Xia Yuanju's second daughter.
Her appearance is extremely handsome. She is very handsome among women, but shy among men!
The light uniform he wears brings out his unique temperament even more!
Xia Yuanju raised his eyes and looked a few times.
"After all, it is Your Majesty's arrangement, I have to ask clearly."
"Then why don't you go directly to His Majesty?"
Xia Nianqiao was very puzzled.
"My brother was captured. This matter is our family matter. Do we still need outsiders to solve it for us?"
"Of course I looked for it, but His Majesty wouldn't allow it at all!"
Xia Yuanju was also helpless.
He had long been prepared to personally lead people to sneak into the Kingdom of Wu and rescue his son!
But if His Majesty doesn't agree, there's nothing he can do! Otherwise, it's just disobedience!
Xia Nianqiao was still angry and said: "I really don't know what your Majesty thinks, but he actually arranged for a eunuch to go to Wu State to save my brother!"
"Then what ability can the eunuch have? Isn't this nonsense?"
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! Be careful that His Majesty will punish you when he finds out!"
Faced with Xia Nianqiao's disdain for the eunuch, Xia Yuanju scolded him.
But in fact, in his heart, he looked down on eunuchs at all.
He is familiar with history books and knows that eunuchs are the source of a country's troubles!
In addition, Emperor Qian seems to really attach great importance to Lin Yiqiu of Xichang, which makes Xia Yuanju feel even more conflicted!
But this time Emperor Qian's order arranged for Lin Yiqiu, the governor of the West Factory, to go to Wu to exchange hostages and rescue his son Xia Lingfeng.
This made Xia Yuanju himself very angry and confused!
Should I place my hopes in the hands of a eunuch?
As a father, Xia Yuanju cannot allow himself to do this!
At this moment, a guard quickly walked in from outside the door.
"Prince Qi, Lin Yiqiu is here!"
Hearing this, Xia Yuanju's eyebrows flashed.
"Let him in."
"yes!"
After the guards retreated, Xia Yuanju said to Xia Nianqiao: "Don't talk nonsense later, let me ask, do you understand?"
"Hmph! Who wants to talk to a eunuch?"
Xia Nianqiao turned her head disdainfully.
Not long after, Lin Yiqiu's sedan had stopped outside the mansion, and he followed the guard's guidance and walked in.
Entering the hall, Xia Yuanju's majestic figure instantly came into view.
Of course, there is also the beautiful figure of Xia Nianqiao.
"I have long heard that Xia Yuanju has a son and a daughter. The son is extremely brave and the daughter has extraordinary appearance. It seems that this is not a lie."
Lin Yiqiu thought to himself.
Xia Nianqiao's temperament is somewhat similar to Emperor Qian's.
"Lin Yiqiu, the governor of the West Factory, has met the prince."
According to the rules, Lin Yiqiu saluted respectfully.
Xia Yuanju did not receive him politely, his face was still so lukewarm.
"Governor Lin, I came to you today because I have something to ask you, and I hope that Governor Lin will not hide it."
"Is it about Xia Lingfeng?"
Lin Yiqiu explained the key points directly.
Xia Yuanju nodded.
"President Lin is a smart man. I believe it won't be tiring to talk to smart people."
"I hope Governor Lin can give up the mission His Majesty has given you this time and let me take action!"
The tone seemed to be one of discussion, but there was no room for doubt.
Only then did Lin Yiqiu realize. No wonder King Pingnan was so anxious to find him.
It seemed that he didn't trust himself and thought he was incapable of saving Xia Lingfeng.
But this is a task assigned by Emperor Qian personally. Lin Yiqiu has already taken over, so there is no reason to give in!
Besides, if you go to the Kingdom of Wu, you might be able to find out the Holy Fire Sect, and if you find out the Holy Fire Sect, you can find out the military pay!
And military pay is related to the relationship between Lin Yiqiu and Emperor Qian!
For his own happiness, he couldn't give it to King Pingnan!
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have to obey."
Lin Yiqiu's respectful tone was a little tougher.
"I know that the prince is concerned about the safety of the eldest son and is worried that he will be harmed in Wu Kingdom!"
"I also understand that Your Majesty does not want to trouble Your Majesty for the eldest son alone, so I want to sneak into the Kingdom of Wu alone to rescue the eldest son."
"But Your Majesty, you must also understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts. You are an important minister of the Daqian Kingdom! You cannot take such a risk yourself!"
What you said is so convincing! You can’t fault it!
But King Pingnan did not back down.
"President Lin, this is my family matter! I am worried about Ling Feng's safety! It is because of my duty as a father!"
"Your Majesty is considerate of me, and I naturally understand it, but for the sake of me, I have to exchange hostages with the Kingdom of Wu, which I cannot accept!"
"The people Governor Lin arrested before were related to the Holy Fire Cult and the military pay case. Are they all going to be released to the Kingdom of Wu? Just for the sake of my son?"
What King Pingnan said after that is the key point!
"As a father, I am willing to go to the Kingdom of Wu alone to save my son!"
"But as a prince and a pillar of the Qian Kingdom! I cannot accept such an exchange! This is harming the interests of our Qian Kingdom!"
"I would also like to ask Governor Lin to give up this mission and ask your majesty to grant my request to go to the Kingdom of Wu alone!"
He also gave his own answer from both public and private aspects.
What King Pingnan said is not unreasonable!
After hearing this, Lin Yiqiu respected the other person even more.
It's just that this time, the other party really can't make the decision!
"Your Majesty, in addition to rescuing the eldest son when we go to the Kingdom of Wu, we also need to investigate the military pay case and the Holy Fire Cult!"
"The prince should support me both in public and private matters, or does it mean that the prince does not trust my abilities?"
Lin Yiqiu changed the question.
However, just as he finished speaking, Xia Nianqiao, who was not far away, sneered.
"Trust you? What qualifications do you have for us to trust you? You are just a eunuch! Without something complete, you are not even a man!" This chapter has been completed!
