Xiao Jingyun smiled slightly, "Last time was different from now. Last time we had already passed hundreds of thousands of troops. If the stalemate continued, Dalin would not get any benefits, so he took the opportunity to retreat."
"Besides, Qiao Sen has always been so scheming, how could he do such a loss-making business?"
Having said this, Xiao Jamyun stood up.
He slowly walked down his steps and came to the front of everyone. He looked at everyone present and said seriously every word, "Everyone, think about it. Qiao Sen wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to us from Dalin Kingdom.
Come, it will take at least three or four days of work."
"And from the time I left Jizhou to the time I sit here today, it only took five or six days."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, "Your Highness, you are saying that there is someone collaborating with the enemy in Jizhou City, and your whereabouts have been reported to Dalin State."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "Yes, there are collaborators, but Qiao Sen knew that I only wrote this letter when I came back, wanting to exchange his master with me. What do you think his real purpose is."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, a little confused.
Suddenly, a military general wearing a helmet next to him came to his senses and raised his fist at Xiao Jingyun, "Wait a minute, I, Du Bai, thought that the Dalin Kingdom wanted to make a comeback, and they were going to fight back to Jizhou City."
After hearing this, Xiao Jingyun nodded approvingly, "General Du is right. This letter is the enchantment method he used. If you exchange it for 50,000 yuan, I really have no reason not to agree."
"Our focus is on the exchange of hostages. Not only Jizhou, but even the entire border defense must be lax, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage of."
After hearing what he said, everyone present nodded.
"Yes, yes, His Highness is wise, why didn't we think of it?"
But Jamel Xiao waved his hand and said to everyone present, "Now that we know the other party's plan, it will be easier to handle. Tian Wenhao will follow the order."
Tian Wenhao quickly stepped forward and raised his fist at Jamel Xiao.
"Tian Wenhao quickly organized the food and grass, transported it to the border, and made preparations for three months."
Then he looked at Du Bai.
"There are only two old princes, Liu and Zhao, in Jizhou. I'm worried that they are old and have made any omissions. You should immediately take people to Jizhou overnight. After stabilizing the situation in Jizhou, the company will immediately go north to the border."
After making arrangements, he looked at Li Si Ma Zhu Ziming.
"After lunch, you go meet this Bell and discuss the terms with him. Not only do we want Zhu Meng and his 50,000 troops, but we also want them to hand back all the supplies that they plundered from us and the people they took away.
"
Zhu Ziming's face was full of surprise, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit too much?"
Xiao Jingyun laughed and said, "This is what I want. He will definitely not be able to answer your request, so he will definitely find a way to contact Dalin Kingdom."
Zhu Ziming's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Your Highness, you mean to completely dig out the spies hidden in Dalin Kingdom in our capital."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "Yes, if this were not the case, how could we win against Dalin Kingdom."
After hearing this, everyone present gave Jamel Xiao a thumbs up again. It must be said that Jamel Xiao still showed extraordinary leadership skills.
However, Jamel Xiao's happiness did not last long.
Seeing that the sun was heading west and we were about to prepare for dinner, suddenly Zhu Ziming came in a hurry.
Of course, Xiao Jingyun knew that there was something urgent at this moment, so he did not arrange for people to enter the living room, and directly asked Zhou Quan to take people into his study.
As soon as Zhu Ziming came in, he didn't even have time to salute. He clasped his fists and said eagerly, "Your Highness, something serious has happened!"
Jamel Xiao looked at him and asked slightly surprised, "What happened? Are you in a panic?"
"Your Highness, the people I sent to chase Prime Minister Fang are back."
"They were resting by the ferry last night, and they found out early this morning that the old prime minister was missing."
"What, the old prime minister is missing?" Xiao Jingyun suddenly stood up.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Your Highness, because they have been traveling for days, they are all tired, so they sleep very hard at night. When they woke up in the morning, they found that the old prime minister was missing. Also missing was the carriage he rode during the day."
"They thought the old prime minister didn't want to leave and returned to the capital alone, so they followed the road to the capital and searched for it. They found the old prime minister's carriage thirty miles away from the ferry, but it only had a carriage and no horses."
Xiao Jamgyun was completely dumbfounded when he heard this. What kind of operation is this?
"We found the old prime minister's carriage, where is that man?"
Zhu Ziming spread his hands and said, "Fang Jun and the little girl have been looking around, but there has been no news until now. I'm afraid the old prime minister is in trouble."
Jamel Xiao looked annoyed when he heard this, and hammered the table hard.
"I'm really pissed off."
"It's all my fault for being confused. I shouldn't have let the old prime minister leave Wannian City."
Zhu Ziming waited for Xiao Jingyun to finish venting, then took a step forward and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, do you think it was the people from the Dalin Kingdom who deliberately disturbed our sight? By the way, there are also those rumors about Mr. Liu Hou."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingyun had mixed feelings. What happened to Liu Xiangnan? He knew very well that it had nothing to do with Dalin State, but he was a little unsure whether Fang Zheng had anything to do with Dalin State this time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, God won't help me. I didn't expect that one of my decisions would harm the old prime minister."
Zhu Ziming also had a melancholy look on his face, "Your Highness, with the disappearance of the old prime minister, Feng Pengju's matter will probably be difficult."
Xiao Jingyun also sounded worried.
He had vowed to help Feng Pengju clear his name and reinstate him if he was wronged. Now Fang Zheng, who had direct evidence, disappeared.
What should we do now? I am afraid that the most saddened person to know this news is Feng Xiaoyue.
Thinking of this, Jamel Xiao said in a deep voice, "Don't make this matter public for now."
Then he turned to look at Zhou Quan, "You immediately lead people to the ferry to meet Wang Jun and the others. You must find clues to the disappearance of the old prime minister."
Zhou Quan nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will set off immediately and I will definitely find the whereabouts of the old prime minister."
After all the arrangements were made, Xiao Jingyun still felt uneasy, but if he didn't feel at ease, he had no good solution.
Feng Xiaoyue was just as uneasy as him. Zhu Ziming sent someone to tell him that he had gone to chase the old prime minister. After calculating the distance, it was time to come back.
During dinner, Feng Xiaoyue seemed a little absent-minded. Chen Xiaobei certainly understood what he was thinking and comforted him.
"Perhaps Mr. Zhu was delayed for something, and he hasn't had time to send someone to inform you."
Feng Xiaoyue was silent and still had no intention of eating.
