Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 463 List of Eastern Qi envoys

This news made both Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao very cautious.

It seems that the people in Dong Qi did not wait for Xi Qin's reply and became anxious.

Moreover, they had already set off earlier than they did here. From the time they proposed to the time they set off, it only took a few days. These few days were simply not enough time for the people of Dong Qi to understand Da Xia's plan and take advantage of it. The news spread back to Luo Bing.

Moreover, Luo Bing got the news from Nanchu. Counting serious correspondence, the people from Dong Qi should have been setting off for at least five days.

"It seems that we are already lagging behind. When we arrived, the people in Dongqi had already said what they needed to say..."

"Our credentials have also been sent in an expedited manner. It is estimated that the people in Nanchu have also received it. It depends on what achievements the people in Dongqi can achieve in the past few days."

Thinking of this, they all felt quite stressed.

"Do you want to tell the emperor about this?" Shu Yunzhao asked.

Xiao Jinyao thought for a while and said: "No, the court has not received the news. We actually knew it in advance. It is not a good thing for others, and the news over there will come back sooner or later. After we set off, The news has only been received here, so the people in the court will be more worried about us, and we will be more convincing when we return safely."

Shu Yunzhao nodded and said: "You are thinking the same as me. Anyway, uncle and the others are dormant in the capital. If there is anything wrong, there is always a way to notify us."

They had already carried out the final inventory, and Luo Shisan gave them the news that Dong Qi's people had indeed left, and they also got the list of Dong Qi's arrival this time.

The leader is the fourth prince, who is the son of Xian Fei, the most favored concubine of the current Emperor of Dong Qi. He is very powerful in Dong Qi. His maternal clan is the Dongguo clan that has been confronting Daxia at the border all year round.

In fact, there have been many factional fights within the Eastern Qi Dynasty in recent years. Some people believe that they should put aside their past grudges and get along well with neighboring countries, and there is no need to be at war with each other. Others believe that they must fulfill their ancestors' ambitions and take over the Central Plains.

The main combatants had been suppressing Zhu He's faction, but on Zhu He's side were the queen and the prince, and the emperor did not move their thoughts.

The fourth prince has been planning for so many years. As long as he really wins this war, he will be able to directly capture the crown prince of Dong Qi.

Those who advocate peace are not qualified to enjoy the fruits of victory obtained by those who advocate war.

In addition, the people who went with them this time were also their Minister of War. Those who used the Ministry of War naturally wanted to talk about the war.

This Minister of War was the son of a general who was defeated in the Eastern Qi War, and he had a hatred for Da Xia.

There is another one who is worthy of attention, she is the princess of Dong Qi. Like the fourth prince, she is the daughter of the Concubine Xian. This time she came to marry the prince of Nanchu.

It's just that after Nan Chu's previous marriage with Western Qin, he didn't have this idea for the time being.

Moreover, their prince did not want to marry a foreign woman.

When she ascends the throne in the future, the queen will be of a foreign race, which is not a good thing for their country, which has just regained stability.

"It seems that Dong Qi really wants to take down Nan Chu this time. Western Qin can't count on it. Only by marrying and forming an alliance with Nan Chu can they be more confident when declaring war on Daxia." Shu Yunzhao I sighed.

She wanted to say, does this situation count as troubled times?

Xiao Jinyao replied: "Yes, this is a calculation that makes people unable to ignore it... It seems that after we go there this time, the problems we will face are not just the court looking for their lost things..."

However, both of them did not back down. Instead, they were gearing up to show off their skills.

Early the next morning, after they were fully prepared, they entered the palace and prepared to set off.

Today, Shu Yunzhao made an exception and could go to the Golden Palace. The emperor gave many instructions, and then the people from the Ministry of Rites took charge of the rest of the process, and then the civil and military officials saw them off in person.

Until their team left the city, the people were still talking about it.

After all, the two people in the royal family who could really help them solve their problems have left. I wonder if the replacement will be as patient and down-to-earth as them.

After leaving the city, they met Luo Bing and the others who had already disguised themselves.

Luo Bing was originally from Nanchu, so he was not afraid of the situation there, but rather looked forward to it.

He didn't know as much as Xiao Jinyao and the others about Dong Qi's affairs, but Xiao Jinyao and the others had shared it with him, and he still looked calm and calm.

In his opinion, Dong Qi's overtures seemed to have little effect.

Luo Yan seemed very timid and cautious. Although Du Wenkang was following him, he still huddled in the carriage and did not dare to move.

Only in front of Shu Yunzhao could she relax.

Her appearance made Shu Yunzhao even more distressed, and at the same time he felt guilty for his mother.

"Luoyan, we are going back to Nanchu..."

The word Nanchu gave Luo Yan a different reaction.

She carefully opened the car curtain and looked at the scenery outside. After leaving Kyoto, they still took the official road, but this kind of road was usually not very prosperous.

Seeing that their carriage was indeed moving forward, Luoyan became nervous.

She held Shu Yunzhao's hand tightly and said over and over again: "Miss, you can't go back. The master said, run as far away as possible..."

It was obvious that when they left Nanchu, they were not only forced to do so, but also because their lives were in danger.

"It's okay Luo Yan, that matter has been resolved. It was my uncle who asked us to go back..."

Luo Yan didn't understand, and kept saying: "No, we can't go back to Nanchu, we have to go to Daxia, to Daxia..."

Her restless look would immediately attract others' attention. When there was no other way, Shu Yunzhao gave her a shot of sedative in a very secretive way.

Du Wenkang was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what happened. Why didn't his mother, who was noisy just now, stop talking?

Luo Bing also hesitated for a moment, but he understood that Shu Yunzhao's method was also the most appropriate at the moment, and he had to let his sister calm down first.

As for the rest, let’s talk about it when we get there.

The people from Dong Qi set out a few days earlier than them, and should now be close to the border of Nan Chu. The distance they can walk today is limited, so instead of exhausting themselves, it is better to move forward normally.

Hu Yuelong, the Minister of Rites who followed, was actually very curious about the person in the carriage, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

This time he was sent as envoy to Nanchu. He was personally selected by Xiao Jinyao. It was probably because he was usually not a monster, not good at flattering people, and always kept silent.

Silence is golden, there is no need to ask questions that should not be asked.

Three days after their departure, the imperial court finally received news that Dong Qi's people had also gone to Nan Chu, and they also had their equipment.
