Chapter 99 It Seems that There Is a Master Around His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince
Seeing the increasingly ugly expression on Emperor Xia's face, the ministers in the hall were very curious about what the Northern King wrote in his family letter that made Emperor Xia look so angry.
The bloodbath at the Eighth Prince's residence didn't make Emperor Xia so angry, did it?
After reading the contents of the family letter, Emperor Xia flicked his sleeves, then said the words "withdraw from the court" indifferently, and left the hall directly.
The ministers in the hall were all confused, not knowing what had happened.
Withdraw from the court now?
Emperor Xia hasn't mentioned the war report from the North yet?
And he hasn't asked anyone to go to his study to discuss military affairs this time.
This made the ministers even more curious about the Northern King's letter.
What exactly was written in the letter that made Emperor Xia so angry that he left the hall directly.
After a while.
Imperial Garden.
Emperor Xia came to the Imperial Garden and directly gave the war report and Lu Chen's family letter in his hand to the national teacher Situ Ce.
Situ Ce glanced at the war report, and then carefully read Lu Chen's letter, and his expression suddenly became serious.
After a while, Situ Ce said, "Your Majesty, it seems that this war report is not as important as this letter."
"It is obvious that the King of the North wrote this war report to the messenger Hong Ling in order to send this letter."
Although the content of the letter seems that the King of the North is just a coward who wants the court to send troops to help him resist the barbarians, the two most critical points in the letter were written out by the King of the North.
The first point is that the barbarians have weapons and equipment of the Daxia standard, and the second point is that the caravan of the Eighth Prince appeared in Beijun.
The weapons of Daxia appeared in the north, which proves that there must be someone in Daxia who is colluding with the enemy and selling out the country.
And Beijun is so poor, but the caravan under the name of the Eighth Prince went to Beijun to do business, which proves that the Eighth Prince is likely to have problems.
The letter from the King of the North almost made it clear that the Eighth Prince was a colluder and a traitor. ɱ
Obviously, the purpose of the Northern King is not just to complain in the letter.
After hearing what Situ Ce said, Emperor Xia put his hands behind his back and looked at the lotus pond in silence for a moment, "I don't think Xiaojiu can have such a mind."
When Lu Chen was in the capital, he always gave people the image of being unlearned and only knowing how to enjoy himself.
Even when he arrived in Beijun, he still did not do his work and spent the whole day in the mansion.
Emperor Xia did not think that Lu Chen suddenly got it, and actually knew to use this method to remind himself that there were people in the court who colluded with the enemy and sold out the country.
Of course, this letter may indeed have such an effect, but this letter must not have been written by Lu Chen, or this letter was written under the guidance of someone else.
Situ Ce sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that His Highness the Ninth Prince has a master around him!"
"From the fact that His Highness can see through the Barbarian King's Court, it can be seen that His Highness the Ninth Prince must have an intelligence organization in his hands."
"Otherwise, it is impossible for His Highness the Ninth Prince to control every move of the Barbarians."
Emperor Xia fell into deep thought again.
Situ Ce was right. Lu Chen was able to know in advance that the 300,000 barbarian troops were heading south, and he also knew that someone in Daxia was colluding with the enemy and selling out the country. He even knew that the King of Northern Xian led 100,000 cavalry to join the King of the Heavenly Wolf. This proved that Lu Chen had an organization in his hands that was not inferior to the Shadow Guard in terms of intelligence collection capabilities.
This made Emperor Xia feel a little threatened.
Lu Chen, this useless son who was unlearned, actually had an intelligence organization with such a strong intelligence collection capability in his hands?
What did he want to do?
What did he dare to do?
This made Emperor Xia have to wonder if Lu Chen had been hiding his incompetence when he was in the capital.
But from his performance, he didn't seem to be the kind of person who hid his incompetence?
He has lived in the capital for so many years and has been under surveillance. His behavior is not like acting at all.
This makes Emperor Xia more suspicious whether there is any force behind Lu Chen who intends to use Lu Chen to achieve some ulterior purposes, especially Xuanyue Palace.
Lu Chen's identity as the Son of God has always been a concern for Emperor Xia.
At this moment, the Shadow Guard Commander appeared behind Emperor Xia, "Your Majesty, Commander Bai has a secret report."
Hearing this, Emperor Xia immediately turned his head and took the secret letter from the Shadow Guard Commander and opened it.
After reading Bai Qingqing's secret letter, the expression on Emperor Xia's face became even uglier.
As he thought, Xuanyue Palace really sent people to Beijun, and it was the Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace who went to Beijun in person.
However...
According to the secret report, it seems that Xuanyue Palace did not help Beiwang Mansion, and the Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace has gone south with Lu Chen's wives and concubines.
There are no people around Lu Chen now.
This puzzled Emperor Xia. If Lu Chen was not backed by Xuanyue Palace, were there other forces behind him?
He did not believe that Lu Chen alone could form an intelligence organization that could reach into the barbarian royal court.
It was a bit strange.
Emperor Xia did not doubt Bai Qingqing. He just thought that Bai Qingqing should not have found out the real secret of the Northern Palace, or had not yet contacted the people behind Lu Chen.
Then Emperor Xia said to the Shadow Guard Commander: "Let Commander Bai find a way to climb into Xiaojiu's bed. I need more information about Xiaojiu."
"Also, let her hurry up to investigate whether there is really any contact between Xiaoba's caravan and the barbarians in Beijun."
The Shadow Guard Commander immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Go down."
"I'll take my leave."
After the Shadow Guard Commander left, Situ Ce asked, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about the Ninth Prince's affairs first. Are you going to deal with the Eighth Prince's affairs?"
Emperor Xia said lightly, "I don't think he can do this alone. There must be a family behind him."
"Once the matter of Beijun is resolved and the Shadow Guard has collected enough evidence, then it's time to deal with those termites."
...
Northland.
The Sirius King's Court.
An old man with animal skin and wrinkled skin was drinking and talking happily in front of the Sirius King Xiao Hongbo.
At this time, Xiao Hongbo said to the slave beside him, "Go, call the princess."
The slave immediately got up and left the king's tent.
At this time, Xiao Wenyao was on a grassland highland, looking towards the direction of Beijun.
After a while, the slave next to Xiao Hongbo came behind Xiao Wenyao, "Princess, the king asked you to go to the king's tent."
Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao's face turned pale instantly.
Of course, she knew why her father asked her to go to the king's tent. It was just to serve the King of Northern Xian and serve him wine and water.
Xiao Wenyao saw the King of Northern Xian a few days ago. Not to mention that the King of Northern Xian was ugly, the smell on his body made Xiao Wenyao want to vomit.
Although they were all on the grassland, the tribe of the Heavenly Wolf King loved cleanliness, unlike the King of Northern Xian who never took a bath in his life.
Xiao Wenyao immediately said, "I won't go!"
"Go back and tell my father that I'm not feeling well!"
Hearing this, the slave hurriedly said, "Princess, don't embarrass me. If you don't go, the king will definitely kill me."
Slaves have no status in the barbarians. They can be killed at will.
Although Xiao Wenyao felt a little sympathetic to the slaves, she still said, "I won't go!"
At this point, Xiao Wenyao was about to turn around and leave.
However, at this moment, Xiao Hongbo's two personal guards appeared in front of Xiao Wenyao.
"Princess, the king asked us to take you to the king's tent!"
Xiao Hongbo also guessed that Xiao Wenyao might not come, so he simply asked someone to take her there by force.
Today is the day to make friends with the King of Beixian, and he must let the King of Beixian see what his future queen looks like.
Seeing the two strong men in animal skins in front of him, Xiao Wenyao knew that she could not escape, so she had to say: "I know."
Then Xiao Wenyao followed to the king's tent.
Entering the king's tent, Xiao Wenyao saw the old thing that made her feel sick.
At this time, Xiao Hongbo said to the King of Beixian with a smile on his face: "King of Beixian, this is my daughter, your future queen."
Hearing this, the King of Beixian looked at Xiao Wenyao with a smile, and saw Xiao Wenyao's curvy body, and the King of Beixian couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
He had heard that the daughter of the Heavenly Wolf King was a rare beauty on the grassland, and today, seeing her, it was indeed well-deserved.
This is much more beautiful than the women he robbed from Daxia.
Being stared at by the King of Northern Xian, Xiao Wen Yao suddenly felt something crawling on her body.
At this time, Xiao Hongbo looked at Xiao Wen Yao and said, "Yao Yao, come here and pour wine for your future husband!"
Hearing Xiao Hongbo's serious voice, Xiao Wen Yao knew that she had no way to refuse, and then she was about to come to the King of Northern Xian to pour wine, but at this time Xiao Wen Yao's uncle Xiao Pengtian said, "Your Majesty, Yao Yao has not officially married the King of Northern Xian yet, and it is not appropriate to ask her to pour wine for the King of Northern Xian now."
"The princess once said that we should learn from Daxia, so we should also learn the etiquette of Daxia. In Daxia, women cannot touch before they get married. future husband."
Hearing what Xiao Pengtian said, the King of Beixian was immediately unhappy, but Xiao Hongbo was not angry at this time. He smiled and said to the King of Beixian: "King of Beixian, I think my subordinates have some truth in what they said. How about waiting until we take over Beijun and let Yaoyao pour you some wine?"
Seeing that Xiao Hongbo said so, the King of Beixian had no choice but to say: "Well, when my princess marries me, I must have a good drink with my princess."
Speaking of this, the King of Beixian stared at Xiao Wenyao's body with a lewd look and licked his lips.
