In the blink of an eye, it was June. Prince Ino had stayed in Dazhou for almost two months. It was really inconvenient to stay any longer. He had already made preparations to return to Gudan Kingdom.
The burial place of Queen Luo and Princess Luo Yue has been heavily guarded. Prince Ino will go here after leaving the capital to pick up their coffins and then help them return to Gudan.
The birthday banquet of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has been over for more than a month. The envoys from various countries should have gone back long ago, but now, all the envoys from the small countries have left, but none of the envoys from the five major countries have left. This is obviously not very good. normal.
It's easy to understand that Prince Inuo didn't leave. After all, he had just recognized Princess Luo Yue's only daughter. Luo Tong, her only cousin, had been staying with Prince An almost every day recently.
The capital of Great Zhou Dynasty is far away from Gudan. After this farewell, we won't be able to see each other again for a long time, so everyone is not surprised that Prince Ino wants to spend more time with him.
But except for Prince Ino, the envoys from the other four countries also didn't leave, which made people smell something amiss.
The southern barbarians have married the princess, and the northern barbarians have also negotiated the follow-up compensation for the Lei Manhe incident. Originally, they had nothing to do and could return home, but after they heard some rumors, no one mentioned leaving.
They seemed to be focused on staying and having fun, but in fact they were secretly spying and never stopped for a moment.
The reason why they changed their minds and refused to leave the Zhou Dynasty was because the envoys from the two countries, Nanlin and Poland, were blocked for some reason. Out of curiosity, the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians also chose to stay. Find out.
The two missions from Nanlin and Poland wanted to leave the capital as early as Spring Lie, but there was an assassination incident in Spring Lie, so they were unable to leave when Spring Lie just finished conducting a large-scale investigation.
But after that, when they wanted to leave, they were always blocked by various things, and the emperor always summoned them from time to time, but nothing important happened.
Whenever the envoys from Nanlin and Poland proposed to leave, they would be led away lightly by the emperor. To put it bluntly, they were not allowed to leave.
Now the emperor's attitude is very vague, making it difficult to guess his intentions. He doesn't want people from the two countries to leave, but he doesn't say anything is going on and just wastes his time.
The people in the Nanlin and Polish missions were very anxious. At the same time, for some reasons, they were all uneasy. They were acting cautiously in the capital while secretly moving nervously.
A lot of things that have happened recently have left the capital in a subtle atmosphere, and everyone is aware of the imminent storm.
Luo Tong knew the truth to some extent, and Wu Zechen did not hide it from her. He would tell her some important things.
As for the missions from Nanlin and Poland, it was naturally because of the spring hunting assassins. Under Wu Zechen's arrangement, the emperor had got some clues and knew that these two missions had interacted with people from the Holy Cult in Southern Xinjiang. Had contact.
Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the Southern Xinjiang Holy Cult was instructed by these two countries, if it is really said that there is no connection between the two, I am afraid that the emperor himself will not believe it.
Already suspicious, he immediately became suspicious of these two countries, and hunched that the assassination of Chunyue was most likely carried out by people from these two countries uniting with the Holy Religion in Southern Xinjiang!
With such suspicion, the emperor kept the missions from the two countries and refused to allow them to leave the capital.
The reason for doing this is to continue to pursue the matter. If they are allowed to leave, many clues will be eliminated, making it difficult to find out the truth.
Moreover, this spring hunting incident reminded the emperor of the previously unsolved dragon boat assassination case. Could that assassination also be carried out by Nanlin and Poland?
As for the second reason for keeping them, they were kept as backup. If there was no evidence to prove that the two assassinations were instigated by these two countries, then alternative plans would have to be launched.
But even the Emperor Zhou wanted to keep the two missions, but he couldn't stay for too long, not to mention that there were two princes with inheritance rights here.
They didn't come to Dazhou as protons. There was no reason for Dazhou to keep people for too long. It had been delayed for more than a month, and now it was almost reaching its limit.
Therefore, the emperor has relented in the past two days. The envoys from Nanlin and Poland should leave Beijing at about the same time as the envoys from Gudan and return to their respective countries.
While Luo Tong was paying attention to the news, he was preparing bags for Prince Ino and his family members who were far away in Gudan Kingdom.
Listening to her cousin's description, Luo Tong became more and more looking forward to her relatives in Gudan, but she couldn't go to Gudan to visit them yet, so she could only buy a variety of special products from Da Zhou, and her cousin would bring them back to Gudan for the time being. Express your feelings.
When Inuo took the list handed over by Luo Tong, his face was filled with a dumbfounded expression: "Little sister, if you don't know this list, you may think that you are going to 'get married' for your brother. I think this is worse than the list." The dowry for the noble daughter of the Zhou Dynasty is even larger when she gets married, so my brother’s trip back home was really quite a pomp.”
He was sitting in the Shaoguang Pavilion holding a list, and the end of the list had been dragged to the ground. It was really spectacular!
After the two got to know each other more, Luo Tong found that his cousin was actually a very cheerful and interesting person, and he would make jokes to make her happy from time to time.
Ino also has a biological sister who is slightly older than Luo Tong and is now married.
Among the three siblings, Luo Tong is the youngest, so Ino now calls her her little sister.
"How great, let my brother get married in a grand manner!" Luo Tong smiled and looked quite happy.
She is eating well and sleeping well now, her face is obviously rounder, and her complexion is getting better and better.
She continued: "Brother, the escort team is quite large on the way back, which can protect these things."
Welcoming the coffins of Empress Luo and Princess Luo Yue back to Gudan is no small matter. It is related to the face of the Gudan royal family. In addition, the Gudan royal family takes it very seriously, so Da Zhou did not dare to neglect it and sent a large number of troops to escort it. .
Not only for the sake of spectacle, but also to send a friendly signal to Gudan.
Today's Gudan has a strong national power, strong soldiers and horses, and its nation is inherently brave and good at fighting. The current situation is not clear in the Zhou Dynasty, and they don't want to make enemies with them, so making good friends is a must.
Especially after the figures of Nanlin and Poland appeared behind the Spring Hunter assassination, the emperor suddenly felt strong uneasiness in his heart, and appeasing the Gudan Kingdom became equally important.
Otherwise, once the situation changes and war breaks out on the southern and southwest borders, if other countries take advantage of the situation and launch a siege on Da Zhou, Da Zhou will be in trouble.
