"What do you want to explain?"

It took a long time before Xun Yi's voice sounded in the hall again.

The emperor smiled and said directly: "We in Beiyan have always followed the rules and will not take advantage of you. You have killed so many of us. Since you want to explain, you must show sincerity. Every household I just need to pay you 5,000 taels of silver for appeasement. In addition, if you come to our Beiyan border to provoke us maliciously, you should repay us 50,000 taels of silver before you can leave."

No matter what angle you look at it from, The emperor's request was actually not too much, but the other party was a small and poor island country. The country was still in chaos and various factions were at war. How could they come up with so much money?

Xun Yi clenched his back teeth and forcibly controlled himself not to kill the dog emperor.

Knowing the island country’s predicament and making such a request, it is obvious that it is to embarrass him.

But if these things are not resolved, the emperor will not let them go, and he will not be able to do what he promised Lan Jiu. It is really a waste of time to stay here.

"Okay, I will ask the emperor of the island country to send someone to send money."

After saying that, he turned around and left without paying any attention to the emperor.

The emperor knew from Jiang Jiuniang that this person had a special background, was very skilled, and indeed had arrogance, so he did not care about him. After ensuring that he left the palace, the emperor stood up and said: "Let's go to the Imperial College. I haven't cared about the studies of those children for a long time."

People are in high spirits during happy events, and the emperor walks with wind.

After Xun Yi returned, he wrote directly to the emperor of the island country, saying that Pangu Jade had been obtained, but the method was a little dirty, which angered Emperor Beiyan. The other party demanded compensation and asked the emperor to send someone to send money as soon as possible. .

When he wrote this letter, he did not consult with any islanders. He made his own decision and wrote whatever he wanted.

When the other party sees this letter, he will definitely be very happy. After all, getting Pangu Jade means getting a treasure. In the future, he won’t have to care about such a small amount of money, so he happily asked people to send money to Beiyan.

During this period, the envoys of the island country were completely under house arrest. Except for Xunyi who had the ability to go out, everyone else lost their freedom to go out. They had to wait until the island country sent someone to send money before they could be released. take away.

It took several months from the time the letter was sent to the time the emperor sent someone. Xun Yi’s time was not enough at all, so after sending the letter, he claimed to be sick and did not want to see people. In fact, he continued Went to find the whereabouts of the treasure.

There are so many mountains in Beiyan, how can we do it if we don’t hurry up?

Sometimes he thinksI don’t understand, is the information provided there wrong? How could a good treasure become a burial object for an ordinary person? It's almost enough to say that it was a burial object of the Beiyan royal family.

But he had already been to the imperial mausoleum in Beiyan. There were indeed many burial objects, but they were not the treasures he was looking for at all.

Jiang Jiuniang knew that he had left secretly, but there was no movement. It didn’t matter where he went, as long as he was not an eyesore in the country.

Before the cold winter comes, Lu Xiaoyang and his party are finally coming back.

I received their message one month in advance, saying that they had arrived in Beiyan and would be arriving in the capital soon.

Logically speaking, it was almost time now, and we should receive news again, but we didn’t want there to be no news at all, which made everyone in the Lu family worried.

"I am familiar with the road they took back. Why don't I take someone to look for it along the way? Maybe the weather is too cold and the trip is delayed."

Lu The second child took the initiative to step forward. During this period of time, he served as a steward at home. If anything happened in the shop or gambling house, he would go and run around. It felt quite fulfilling.

After going out for a trip, he was no longer as confused as before. He just settled down and did what he could.

Since he was born mediocre, he should cherish this mediocrity and live a good life peacefully.

Now that everyone else in the family is busy, he has nothing to do, so he should go out and pick up the children.

Ms. Qin also said: "Yes, it's snowing heavily in many places. It's probably because the snow has blocked the roads and delayed the trip. It would be good to ask Youya Tou and her father to take someone to greet them."

Jiang Jiuniang was slightly uneasy and felt that things were not that simple.

"Forget it, it's freezing cold today. It's better not to let my second brother go far away. I'll go to the emperor and ask some Jingwei to help me take a look. If nothing happens, it's good. If something really happens, Jingwei can also help save people."

Lu Laoer has no martial arts, so it would be a big loss if he fails to help and ends up in trouble.

Mrs. Sun heard what Jiang Jiuniang meant and said, "Yes, it's better for me to not go out at this time, so that I don't have to worry about both parties."

Opinion of the family Unified, Jiang Jiuniang quickly entered the palace and informed the emperor of the matter. The emperor was very generous and agreed directly.

Jiang Jiuniang couldn’t bear to ask someone to help them on a mission this winter, and she gave the Jingwei a lot of good things.

They were all used for self-defense and life-saving. The Jingwei were not polite and just took them away.

At this time, Bei YanNear the border area of ​​​​Xiteng, Lu Xiaoyang and several others were tied up hand and foot and thrown into a dilapidated woodshed.

Some people in the team were bribed, and their food was drugged. After eating, they felt weak all over, and they were already like this when they woke up.

This state has been maintained for seven or eight days. The other party is not bad, and they will let them solve their personal problems and then come back to continue tying them up.

They were drugged, and the food they ate every day was also drugged. Fortunately, it was not poison, just cartilage powder. After eating, they felt weak all over and were tired from walking, let alone running away.

"We can't go on like this, why not... I just promise him..."

Zhang Lanxiang looked at everyone's pale faces, as if they were about to die soon, I felt so guilty that I couldn't stop crying.

The person who kidnapped them was the person she had a crush on before. The other person's family still has a very high status in Xi Teng. The family has been doing business for generations, but after Xi Teng cooperated with Bei Yan, he also learned from Bei Yan. , a businessman's family can also send scholars to take the imperial examination and become officials. His family tried every means to get a few petty officials to work, and it was regarded as a successful entry into the court.

The man’s name was Baer, ​​and he had once passionately pursued Zhang Lanxiang. Zhang Lanxiang was very excited, but after receiving Jiang Jiuniang’s reply, she thought carefully for a few days and finally decided to go home and be with her parents. Together.

So, she clearly rejected Barr, saying that it was impossible for them to have each other, and then never saw him again. Even when they planned to return to Beiyan, they left quietly without letting Barr get the news.

But who knew that Barr had known about their plan for a long time, but did not reveal it. He followed them from a distance and waited until Beiyan arrived before taking action.

The most annoying thing is that Beiyan is doing business with Xiteng, and Baal’s family is a businessman, so he can naturally come to Beiyan unimpeded, and his family’s industry is also here, and he is Move freely.

He even bribed the people in the team, drugged all of them, and kept them here without letting them go. The only purpose was to get Zhang Lanxiang to agree to marry him.
