"As for the marriage, how many concubines does the Emperor have in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard? I have not asked you to make Rumei your main wife. As long as you have Rumei in your heart, that's enough."
As he spoke, the corners of Liu Xiangnan's eyes became a little wet, and he began to become a little incoherent.
Chen Xiaobei knew that if the father said he didn't care, it was all lies. Who doesn't care about their daughter? What's more, when Liu Rumei followed Liu Xiangnan, he also made great achievements in the battles in the north and south.
Chen Xiaobei bowed to Liu Xiangnan again, "Father-in-law, please rest assured that even if I marry Her Highness the Princess, I will never forget Rumei. I will definitely find a way to go to the Great Earth Kingdom to find her back."
Liu Xiangnan nodded slightly, then waved his hand, "I also know what you mean. You can go down and rest."
Chen Xiaobei bowed and retreated. After some repairs, he returned to the inn again.
According to the arrangement of Jiang Shang Piao, someone would reply to his letter, so Chen Xiaobei did not dare to leave the inn.
But at this time, thousands of miles away, in Qingguang City, Emperor Qiao Pusen of the Earth Kingdom received a secret letter.
This was sent from the secret sentry he arranged in Dachang. After reading this letter, Jopson was speechless for a long time.
Captain Duobang saw this and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Jopson let out a long sigh and pointed to the secret message on the table, "The Black Wolf Guard leader drifted up the river and personally led more than 30 people to the Dachang Palace to carry out an assassination mission. None of them came back."
After hearing this, Duobang was stunned.
After all, there are more than 30 Black Wolf Guards with terrifying fighting prowess. Who are the experts in charge of this country?
Why did such an elite Black Wolf Guard end up like this?
Duobang bowed again and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take the Black Wolf Guard to Wannian City again."
Jopson waved his hand slightly, "That's all, we can't take risks anymore. I'm thinking that maybe there is something wrong with us internally, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to survive, especially those who drifted on the river and killed people. You may not have the ability, but you definitely have the ability to escape.”
After hearing these words, Duobang's expression changed, "Your Majesty, do you suspect there is a traitor?"
Jopson sighed, "Before the matter is investigated, let the rest of the people come back. It is too dangerous to stay in Dacang Country."
Duobang was a little reluctant, "Your Majesty, how about I take them there again and kill Xiao Jingyun no matter what."
Just as Jopson was about to speak, someone hurried in from outside.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is back."
Once he heard that Jonah was back, Jopson cheered up.
Soon Jonah strode in, knelt down on one knee and saluted his father, "I have met my father."
Jopson looked at his son and saw the melancholy on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "My son, why are you so anxious?"
Jonah clasped his fists again, "Father, I have something important to do. In the past few days, I have captured at least a hundred soldiers of the Dacang Kingdom on the banks of the Xiaoqing River."
Upon hearing this, Jopson was very happy and said, "Okay, good catch."
But while he was happy, he saw that Jonah still had a sad face, so he asked strangely, "This is not bad, why is my son so depressed?"
"Father, although I captured these Dacang soldiers and sent people to the capital."
"The strange thing is that only seven or eight people were received in the capital, and the soldiers escorting the prisoners of war were also missing. I led people to search all the way, but I didn't find any clues, but according to Yi'erchen, our people Most likely they were killed.”
Hearing the news, Jopson frowned again, "That means someone killed our soldiers and rescued the prisoners of war."
Jonah nodded, "Yes, Father, I am here to remind you, be careful, maybe those people from Dacang Kingdom have not left and are ambushing you secretly."
When he heard this, Jopson was also startled, and he remembered those frightening nights in the past few days, when senior officials were killed one after another, causing panic among the people in the city.
"I understand." As he spoke, Jopson turned to look at Duobang, "Immediately ordered the entire city to be under martial law and search carefully, not to miss any suspicious places."
After saying this, he raised his head and looked at Prince Jonah, "Continue to guard Xiaoqing River, be sure to watch carefully, and then drive Xiaoqing River to the capital, and go through all the corners again, by the way. , Yelu Chuang can be transferred here if necessary."
"But, father, in that case, when Xiaoqinghe reaches the national border, we won't have anyone to hunt for us,"
Jopson waved his hand, "That's no problem. If we guard Xiaoqinghe, they won't be able to escape. As long as we search this area over and over again, we will find these people sooner or later."
After saying this, he changed the topic again, "We can't always be passive, we must also take the initiative."
"After you go back, you can arrange for someone to pretend to be their Dacang country, and escort them along the way to see if anyone is really rescuing them."
After hearing this, his eyes lit up, "But my father's plan is very clever. I will send a message to Xiao Qinghe and let them make arrangements immediately."
When Jonah turned to leave, Jopson frowned and began to think. He looked at Dobang who was hesitant to speak.
Duobang cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what is on your mind?"
Jopson sighed, "I was wondering what kind of gods came from Dacang Kingdom. We checked over and over again on such a large scale, but why can't we find any trace of them?"
"According to what Jonah just said, we have lost hundreds of soldiers."
"Alas, these are all warriors from my country, Datou, and they died so mysteriously."
Duobang clasped his fists again: "Your Majesty, please allow me to take people to Dacang Kingdom immediately. I will kill Xiao Jingyun and Xiao An to relieve your anger."
Jopson nodded, "Don't make this matter public. You can lead the people quietly and make sure you hit it with one hit."
"In addition, all the inns used by Jiang Shangpiao and the others can no longer be used. You understand what I mean."
Duobang cupped his fists and said, "I understand that my trip will be kept strictly confidential and I will never reveal the information to anyone."
"Okay, you go make arrangements." Jopson finally let go of the stone in his heart.
At this time, the city is still singing and dancing for thousands of years.
The news that the emperor was going to grant a marriage to Chen Xiaobei and Princess Zhang Ning made the people excited again.
Chen Xiaobei instantly became a hot search topic, and even became the biggest mystery in the minds of many ordinary people.
Many people can't understand why an ordinary mountain villager can marry Liu Xiangnan's daughter and then become the emperor's son-in-law. What capabilities does this person have?
