"Auntie, what's wrong with Brother Chen? Is Brother Chen okay?"
In the Imperial Study Room of the Qian Kingdom Palace.
Lan Ye had just received a letter from Beihuang. After reading the letter, Lan Ye held the envelope and frowned, looking extremely unhappy.
Tang Zhejun on the side became worried when he saw that his aunt didn't say a word.
Queen Xia Wanyao also looked at Lan Ye nervously, her eyes extremely worried. She wanted to know what happened to Chen Lu in Beihuang, but she was also afraid of learning some bad news from Lan Ye's mouth.
"well"
Lanye sighed, touched Tang Zhejun's head, and looked at Xia Wanyao.
"Something has indeed happened to your brother Chen...Chen Lu was captured by the barbarian country."
"Caught away. How could it be possible?"
As Lan Ye finished speaking, Xia Wanyao's face turned pale and she looked at Lan Ye in surprise.
As a native of the Qian Kingdom, Xia Wanyao naturally knew about the fight between the Qian Kingdom and the Man Kingdom.
After becoming the queen, Xia Wanyao assisted Lanye in handling government affairs every day, and she was even more deeply involved in the struggle between the Qian Kingdom and the Man Kingdom.
However, all the generals of the Qian Kingdom who were captured by the barbarians basically had no good ending. They were tortured to extract confessions. After no results were obtained, they would be erased.
Xia Wanyao's eyes swayed, as if she was about to cry.
Xia Wanyao could already imagine what kind of inhuman treatment Chen Lu would receive after being captured by the barbarians.
Even Chen Lu may not be around for long.
"Captured? Madam, let's snatch Brother Chen back. Wouldn't it be great if we snatch him back?"
Zhe Jun grabbed the hem of Lan Ye's skirt and kept shaking it. He did not realize the seriousness of the matter like Xia Wanyao.
From Tang Zhejun's point of view, wouldn't it be better to just take back what was stolen from him?
"It's not that easy to conquer the king." Lan Ye sighed, "At this time, Chen Lu might have already arrived at the imperial capital of the barbarian country. I want to snatch Chen Lu back."
Lan Ye didn't finish speaking, but Xia Wanyao also knew what the Queen Mother meant.
At this time, Chen Lu was in the imperial capital of the Barbarian Kingdom. If he wanted to snatch Chen Lu back, the difficulty would be tantamount to using all the strength of the country to start a complete war with the Barbarian Kingdom.
Then they attacked the imperial capital of the barbarian kingdom and captured Chen Lu back.
This is equivalent to annihilating the country at the hands of barbarians.
But if we could destroy the barbarian country, would we still wait until today?
"It's my fault. It's all my fault."
Lan Ye looked at the letter on the table with self-reproach.
The reason why Chen Lu reached this point was entirely because of his own mistakes in judgment.
From Lan Ye's point of view, with Chen Lu's strength and his father's care for Chen Lu, although Chen Lu went to the Northern Wilderness Army to train, although there would be certain dangers, nothing would happen.
After Chen Lu comes back, he can arrange an important position for Chen Lu, plus Chen Lu's identity as the town's transport envoy and the two poems.
By then, Chen Lu will not only be close to the civilian officials and military attachés, but also get the support of the town transport envoy. He will definitely be able to smoothly enter the center of the Qian Kingdom. No matter whether it is the prime minister or the chief minister of the cabinet, there will be no objections. .
What I didn't expect was that Chen Lu would be captured alive, and that Wa Zhi's goal was to only stare at Chen Lu, and even launched a general attack on the Beihuang Army for Chen Lu!
What does that princess of the barbarian country want to do?
What role does Chen Lu play to her?
Could it be that she really fell in love with Chen Lu at first sight and then wanted to marry Chen Lu?
I remembered that when Manguo celebrated his birthday, Manguo took Chen Lu away.
The more he thought about it, the more Lan Ye thought it was possible.
"Don't worry, for now, there's nothing to worry about."
Lan Ye comforted Zhe Jun and Xia Wanyao.
"Since the barbarian country spent so much effort to kidnap Chen Lu, it was naturally not to kill him, nor to torture him, because there is no other meaning. At this time, Chen Lu's life safety is still guaranteed. .
I will immediately send envoys to the barbarian country to negotiate and try to get Chen Lu back."
But Lan Ye also knows that negotiation is a skill.
Under normal circumstances, whether it is with the Barbarian Kingdom or the Qian Kingdom, except for very important people, generally speaking, there will be no negotiations.
Because negotiation means showing weakness.
Although Chen Lu is famous today, Chen Lu's official position is not high. According to the rules of the Qian Kingdom, it is impossible to send an envoy to the Barbarian Kingdom just to exchange Chen Lu back.
Otherwise, you have broken the rules, and this kind of partiality will cause criticism in the entire court.
Therefore, he could only secretly send people to the barbarian country to negotiate.
Please keep this matter under the table, so that even if other officials above the court know about it, they will turn a blind eye.
No matter what, Chen Lu composed two poems that have been handed down from generation to generation in just a few years! This is something that has never happened in a century!
But who should I let start?
"Your Highness the Queen Mother, Wanyao may have a candidate." Just as Lan Ye was thinking about the candidate, Xia Wanyao also knew what Lan Ye was thinking and said.
"Oh? Wanyao, who do you recommend?"
"The current Yushi Zhongcheng—Wang Yan!"
"Daughter, daughter. Mother has good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear, daughter? The good news or the bad news?"
In the Imperial Palace of the Nine-Tail Kingdom, Qiu Jiuli was still practicing in his courtyard, when he heard his mother's joyful voice.
Qiu Jiuli sighed helplessly and had no choice but to stop practicing.
Qiu Jiuli looked at her mother who had already come to him and was stroking her tail: "What's the matter, mother? If you have anything, just tell me."
"What's wrong? Can't you come to my precious daughter if you have nothing to do? I think back then, Jiu Liqian was still so young, but my mother raised you up with my own hands." Qiu Qiu, Queen of the Nine-Tail Kingdom, bent her eyes. He smiled and said, "Come on, tell me quickly, do you want to hear good news or bad news?"
"Can my daughter not listen?"
"It can't be done~"
"Well, that's bad news."
"The bad news is that your sweetheart Chen Lu was captured by the Barbarian Kingdom half a month ago and is now being held captive in the Imperial Capital of the Barbarian Kingdom."
"." Qiu Jiuli frowned slightly, "Mother, first of all, he is not my sweetheart, and where he was caught has nothing to do with me. Secondly, where is the good news?"
"That's the good news~" Qiu Qiu held up her chin and raised the corners of her mouth, "My mother plans to let you replace the Nine-Tailed Kingdom as an envoy to the Barbarian Kingdom to save Chen Lu~"
