State Guesthouse, the residence of the Le Dynasty diplomatic mission.
Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Chen Liyan's expression became increasingly grim.
At this time, the group of troops sent still did not come back. What this means, of course, needless to say.
What he had been worried about before finally happened.
This sudden appearance of Bian Liuyun, the coincidental encounter, and everything else were really a plan against them!
"Aohou, I'm afraid..." Chen Liyan turned to look at Li Hu and said in a deep voice.
Li Hu's face was calm. After thinking for a moment, he waved to the other subordinates and said:
"You should retreat first. I have important matters to discuss with General Chen!"
When everyone in the hall heard this, they stood up immediately and were about to leave when they suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from outside.
A guard of the mission rushed in and said with a cupped hand:
"Aohou, the people from Yun Kingdom have arrived at the door!"
Chen Liyan's eyes sharpened, he subconsciously tightened the sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice:
"Aohou, I'm afraid that the person who comes here is not good!"
Hearing this, Li Hu blinked his eyes, and suddenly the look on his face changed, showing an expression of astonishment. He shook his head at Chen Liyan and said:
"Impossible! Even if Zong Wei misses, there is no way our identities will be exposed!"
Chen Liyan's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Now the Yun State is powerful, and this is the capital of the Yun State. They only need suspicion, not evidence, to take action!"
Li Hu's eyes widened, a look of extreme surprise appeared on his face, and he pretended to be panicked and said:
"Then, why didn't Major General Chen remind me when we were discussing before?"
Hearing Li Hu's words, Chen Liyan felt an unknown fire in his heart and wanted to punch Li Hu in the face.
"Aohou, you..."
I wanted to persuade you before, but you insisted that this was the last chance, and that we had to take action for the sake of the country, the country, and the country. With this blockage, who dared to stop it?
However, Chen Liyan also knew that this was not the time for accountability.
He took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and gritted his teeth and said:
"Please also ask Aohou to leave as soon as possible. The general will protect him with his close friends and will ensure that Aohou is safe and sound!"
Although Chen Liyan felt that Li Hu was just a pig teammate at this time, he was after all a member of the Li Dynasty clan and one of the Nine Ministers of the Li Dynasty. He had a distinguished status. Even if all the Li Dynasty envoys were dead, nothing could happen to Li Hu.
The current situation of the father and son is not good. In fact, it can be said to be very bad.
The government and the public mostly blamed Chen Feng's two defeats for the country's current situation. If they failed to save Li Hu's life this time, I'm afraid the government and the government would blame the father and son more seriously.
My father is currently struggling to support his illness, maintain the last line of defense of the country, and support the entire ancestral temple of the country. It is already difficult for him. Even if he dies here, he must protect Li Hu and prevent his father's situation from getting worse!
The guards of the mission who came in to report heard the words of the two men, and their faces were a little dull.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally plucked up the courage and stammered a bit:
"Ao, Marquis Ao, Major General Chen... the people from the Yun Kingdom outside are actually here to deliver the message. On the order of Emperor Yun, they asked Marquis Ao to lead a delegation to pay homage. No, they are not planning to take action!"
The words of the mission guard made Chen Liyan, who had been determined just now, feel at a loss and froze on the spot.
Shouldn't the army besiege and arrest people? Then you should have said it earlier!
At this time, Li Hu didn't look as panicked as before. He narrowed his eyes, glanced at Chen Liyan with a half-smile, and said:
"Ah, it turned out to be a false alarm. Hahaha, General Chen is so loyal to the king and fulfills his duties. He really lives up to his family status as a prince!"
Chen Liyan frowned. Seeing the sudden change of face in front of him, Li Hu seemed to be teasing him just now. He was even more surprised and at the same time felt a little uneasy inexplicably.
Li Hu shook his head, stood up, and sighed:
"It's been a month since I came to Yun Kingdom, and I can finally see Emperor Yun. It's really hard for this small country's envoy! But judging from the situation, the contract should be officially signed soon. I think it won't be long before we come here.
Now it’s time to leave for home!”
At this time, Chen Liyan suddenly became wary of Li Hu. But when he saw him getting up and leaving, it was because of his special status and responsibilities that he couldn't help but remind him:
"Aohou, please be careful!"
They had just sent people to assassinate him last night, and today Emperor Yun summoned the envoys to meet the emperor, which Chen Liyan couldn't bear to think about.
Hearing this, Li Hu chuckled lightly, looked at Chen Liyan and nodded slightly, saying:
"Major General Chen is smart and capable, but he just lacks a little experience. Now that I have come as the head of the national envoy, a man like Emperor Yun, who is so talented and ambitious and has ambitions for the world, will not dare to understand me. Unless I assassinate him in public today.
Emperor Yun, the evidence is conclusive, otherwise we would never do anything!"
The two countries are at war, but they still don't kill the envoys. This is equivalent to a question of credibility in the hearts of the people in the world.
Li Hu concluded that since Xiao Cheng had ambitions in the world, he would definitely attach great importance to reputation, and it was impossible to attack him, an envoy of the Li Dynasty, without conclusive evidence.
After all, Chen Liyan is young and his mind is not thoughtful enough. He may be smart enough, but he cannot really guess through people's hearts.
Looking at Li Hu's leaving figure, Chen Liyan's eyes showed solemnity, suspicion, contemplation, and various emotions appeared on his face one by one.
Suddenly, Chen Liyan suddenly remembered something, turned to look at the subordinates beside him, and said urgently:
"Dad, have you received any letters during this time?"
Hearing this, the confidants on the side shook their heads and said:
"There is no letter from the Taiwei."
"Impossible. We have been in Zhongqing City for a month now, but our plan has not made any progress. It is about the continuation of the dynasty and trying to gain time to restore the national strength. There is no way that my father will not ignore it!" Chen Liyan's face was livid, and his voice became more and more sinister.
"Father, I'm afraid something will happen!"
"Ah? No, it's impossible..."
-------------------
Xiao Cheng put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Li Hu who was waiting in the palace, raised his brows slightly, and said:
"Le Hu, the envoy of the Li Dynasty?"
When Li Hu heard this, he immediately bent down, bowed to Xiao Cheng, and said:
"Foreign Minister Li Hu, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor Yun!"
Xiao Cheng looked at Li Hu carefully for a few times, nodded and said solemnly:
"I have been quite busy this past month and have not been able to summon you. Please forgive me for any negligence."
Li Hu lowered his head and even said he didn't dare.
Xiao Cheng nodded, his voice majestic, and said:
"In the past few days, the capital of our Yun Kingdom has not been peaceful. There are thugs coming and going from time to time. No, my imperial army captured a lot of them last night. So, for the safety of you and others, after all the envoys, we still
It’s better to go out less often!”
Li Hu was unmoved when he heard Xiao Cheng's words of concern, but in reality, he stood up, took out a letter from his arms, raised it high above his head, and said:
"Your Majesty, before leaving, the head of our country would like to ask foreign ministers to pay their respects to you!"
When Xiao Cheng heard what Li Hu said, he pondered for a moment and immediately motioned to Feng Bao to take it over.
Feng Bao unfolded the letter and handed it to Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng glanced at it and was stunned. He looked at Li Hu with surprise and asked:
"really?"
"Absolutely true!"
Xiao Cheng sat up slightly and looked at the letter at hand, tapping his fingers lightly on the table with a look of deep thought.
