At this time, Lin Yiqiu felt that things were more difficult than he imagined.
If she was really a princess, why would she do this?
Xia Lingfeng was his subordinate. Although he was the prince, his status was still not as noble as hers.
Logically speaking, there is no reason to offend her at all.
If it is not a personal feud, then the eldest princess Xia Qingwu must have her own agenda!
But what exactly she planned, Lin Yiqiu couldn't figure out for the time being.
"Do you want to report this to His Majesty?"
Xia Lingfeng raised his head and asked.
Lin Yiqiu didn't think much and responded.
"I can't talk to Your Majesty about things that are uncertain."
"Without evidence, Your Majesty will only think that this is a frame-up against his daughter. Don't talk about you then, even I will probably be left with nothing to eat!"
Lin Yiqiu knows Emperor Qian's temper very well!
If there is no evidence, it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Qian to believe it!
At this point, we can only bring Xia Lingfeng back to Qian Country safely first, otherwise there will inevitably be dangers here.
Having made up his mind, Lin Yiqiu also made plans for the next few days.
And at the same time, thousands of miles away!
Balingguan!
This place is located at the junction of Qian State and Northern Qi! It is thousands of miles away from Wu State!
As a nomadic people in the north, the Northern Qi Dynasty was extremely powerful, and even the Qian Kingdom could not underestimate them.
Therefore, for so many years, the defense of Northern Qi has been a top priority! It is the border affairs that Emperor Qian is most concerned about!
Before that, King Pingnan of the Northern Qi Dynasty had been guarding this place.
After King Pingnan resigned, the eldest princess Xia Qingwu took over the affairs here.
For so many years, there has been no change in Northern Qi, and therefore, Xia Qingwu has become the most reliable border guard in the hearts of countless people in the court!
Emperor Qian also admired her abilities very much.
At this time, inside Baling Pass, there was the general's residence.
Xia Qingwu held a letter in her hand and read it carefully.
Her face is extremely heroic. After so many years of fighting in the army, she has lost a lot of femininity and gained a lot of resoluteness!
After reading the letter, Xia Qingwu burned it directly on the candle beside her, and her face became extremely heavy.
"It's such a useless thing. It can't even do this!"
With a cold snort, Xia Qingwu's face was filled with disdain.
After a while, a confidant came in.
"General, that guy is here!"
The confidant said in her ear.
Xia Qingwu frowned.
"You just escaped?"
"Well, it's just outside the mansion."
The confidant answered truthfully.
Although Xia Qingwu was not happy, she still waved her hands and said: "Forget it, even though it didn't work, it is still useful, let him come in!"
"yes!"
The confidant quickly left the house.
After a while, he led a person in.
And this person is none other than Pei Tianlin, the former father-in-law who fled from Wu State!
As soon as he entered the house, Pei Tianlin immediately bent down and saluted.
"I have seen the princess... No, General!"
"Pei Tianlin, you disappoint me!"
Xia Qingwu didn't beat around the bush with him and scolded him directly.
"You have been in the Kingdom of Wu for so many years and have great power, and yet you capsized in the gutter and fell into the hands of a little eunuch!"
"The Holy Fire Cult has been working hard for so long, but you abandoned it all at once! I'm afraid you will have to accept the cruelest sanctions if you go back!"
Hearing this, Pei Tianlin's face became even more ugly.
"General, this is all just an accident. I never thought that this dead eunuch could be so powerful!"
"He emptied out my power and colluded with Emperor Wu to drive me out of the position of head of state! If I hadn't had some tricks up my sleeve, I'd probably have died in the Kingdom of Wu by now!"
"Haha, then why are you looking for me now?"
Xia Qingwu snorted disdainfully.
"When Xia Lingfeng went to the Kingdom of Wu before, I informed you in advance, but as for you, you didn't kill the person after you caught him. You want to use Xia Lingfeng to fish, instead of the elder Mu and the elder Tu."
"Not only have you not been replaced, but your own life is in danger! I think you are getting stupider as you live!"
"Since those two guys have been caught, there is no need to save them! You are doing this in vain and causing trouble for yourself!"
Although they were much younger than each other, when Xia Qingwu scolded her, she showed no mercy at all.
The most important thing is that Pei Tianlin was completely unable to refute and could only listen quietly.
After a while, he raised his head and said: "General Xia, although I have failed, you have not been exposed yet!"
"This matter needs General Xia's personal action! That Lin Yiqiu! I want him to die without a place to die!"
Clenching his fists, Pei Tianlin's hatred for Lin Yiqiu could be said to have been engraved in his bones!
It was this dead eunuch who disrupted all his plans!
If it weren't for him, he would still be the head of the Wu Kingdom! Everything would be under his control!
"Me? You want me to take action?"
Hearing this, Xia Qingwu frowned.
"I have plans to take action, but Lin Yiqiu is not worth it at all!"
"What I value is the whole world! It's the state of Qian! It's the state of Wu!"
"That's why I chose to cooperate with your Holy Fire Cult! Otherwise, with your current miserable state! I could kill you with one sword!"
While she was talking, Xia Qingwu had already touched the sword on her waist with one hand!
Pei Tianlin had cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"General Xia, how about this, the batch of military pay that the Holy Fire Cult robbed before is my reward for asking you to take action, how about it?"
Pei Tianlin showed his sincerity.
After hearing this, Xia Qingwu was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Pei Tianlin! Are you an old fool?"
"That batch of military pay was originally sent to me by my father! It was you, the Holy Fire Cult, who robbed it without permission! I haven't asked you to accuse me of this matter yet!"
"Now you actually want to use something that already belongs to me as reward. Do you think I, Xia Qingwu, am a fool?"
Looking at Pei Tianlin, Xia Qingwu despised him to the extreme!
Pei Tianlin gritted his teeth and said, "General Xia, you misunderstood."
"We have already cleaned up this batch of military pay! Now no one can find out the origin of this money! Even if it is given directly to General Xia, there will be no problem!"
"General Xia! I know you have great ambitions, but ambitions need the support of money! And this is my sincerity, Pei Tianlin, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Xia Qingwu's expression finally became serious.
The other party was right. If he wanted to pocket the original military pay, it would be quite troublesome to do so.
But the Holy Fire Cult is different. They have a lot of money laundering methods that can turn military pay into clean money and put it into their own pockets!
After thinking for a moment, Xia Qingwu finally nodded.
"Okay! I accept your reward! I also agree to your request!"
"Is that Lin Yiqiu? Since he dares to leave Qian Country, there is no need to go back!" This chapter has been completed!
