Chu Ruofeng smiled.
"He's a relative's child, come to see me.
I called you here to tell you that our people in Beiyue have brought back news.
It is said that the harvest in Beiyue this year is poor and famine is expected after winter.
Emperor Beiyue is desperately trying to find a way to buy some food from neighboring countries."
The generals discussed it happily.
"This is a good thing. When Beiyue encounters difficulties, it will have no energy to cause trouble, and the border will be peaceful for a while."
"Yes, even though we are soldiers, it is better not to fight if we can."
"Once the border is peaceful, we can apply to go home and visit our families..."
While eating, Nangong Jiu paid attention to everyone's expressions, listened to what they said, and what they were thinking.
Soon, among the many voices talking at once, a discordant voice could be distinguished.
How could they possibly have survived to send a message back? Did our operation fail? Or was there something wrong with the message we sent?
Nangong Jiu looked at each person one by one, comparing the voice he heard with everyone's voice.
[No, I need to contact our people later to find out what's going on.]
Finally locked onto the target.
Haha, I didn’t realize it, he looks so honest and kind.
Nangong Jiu stood up and climbed into Chu Ruofeng's arms: "Uncle, I found him. He's the one sitting in the middle, who looks very honest."
Please guide him to say a few words, and I'll confirm it.
Chu Ruofeng smiled and waved at everyone: "You are right, this is a very good thing.
We are not afraid of war, but we also hope that there will be no war.
Xiao Yaozu, you haven't been home to visit your family in a few years. Please prepare. If the two countries really negotiate, I will allow you two months of leave to go home and reunite with your family."
Xiao Yaozu, who was named, stood up and saluted.
"Thank you, General. I haven't been back to see my family for a few years. I really want to go home and visit."
[Uncle, it's definitely him. He'll send the letter out later. You can catch him in the act.]
Chu Ruofeng pinched Nangong Jiu's little face.
After the generals left, Nangong Jiu stood up and said goodbye.
"Uncle, do you have any personal belongings used by those spies? Give me one or two. We'll go to Beiyue and look for them to see what they've done."
Chu Ruofeng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes. Before they leave, they will leave important things with me."
As he spoke, he called over a secret guard and gave him a few instructions.
Soon, the secret guard brought a very ordinary, badly worn jade pendant.
"This is Jiang Yuan's jade pendant, passed down to him by his mother. Although it's not expensive, he treasures it very much."
Nangong Jiu took it and put it in his small pocket.
[Uncle, I'm leaving. Take care!]
"Okay, Xiao Jiuer, take care of yourself when you're away from home and contact your mother more often."
[I know. I contact my mother every two days.]
"That's good!"
Nangong Jiu waved to Chu Ruofeng and disappeared with everyone else.
Beiyue Capital.
A group of people appeared in Beiyue Capital. After walking around the streets and getting to know the place, Nangong Jiu nodded.
“The people of Beiyue live slightly better than those of Nanjin.
The emperor was diligent and caring about his people. When he heard that Beiyue had a poor harvest this year, he decided not to rob him.
Let's find Jiang Yuan and the others and see what happened."
As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant and tapped it.
The jade pendant flew straight to one place.
The group hid their whereabouts and quickly followed the jade pendant, eventually arriving at a prison.
Wuwang looked around and said, "Master, this seems to be the prison of the Ministry of Justice."
"They really are in trouble. Let's go in and take a look first."
The jade pendant stopped in a cell.
When the group looked inside, they saw five men covered in wounds.
Nangong Jiu took the jade pendant, pointed it at his throat, walked up to the few people and asked softly.
"Which one of you is Jiang Yuan?"
A man lying on the weeds suddenly opened his eyes.
"I'm Jiang Yuan, who are you?"
"We are the spirits accompanying Princess Dingguo. Don't move or make a sound. We are here to rescue you at the request of General Chu."
Several men almost cried with joy and nodded gently.
"The general has a spy on his side. We were caught in a strange way and tortured many times to extract a confession. Because we refused to give in, we will be executed tomorrow."
Nangong Jiu looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "You have risked your life for Dongling. We will rescue you."
After saying that, he stood up and told Xiao Wang and others about the situation.
Wuwang glanced at Jiang Yuan and the others worriedly.
"Master, they look quite badly injured. Given their current condition, even if we get them out of prison, they won't be able to escape the pursuit of the Beiyue people."
"In that case, let's find a way to send them back. Anyway, there's no rush for us to travel now."
“The question is how to deliver it?”
"With my current cultivation level, I can't send them back safely. I have to think of a way."
Little Wang Xiaoxing volunteered.
"Your Majesty, it will only take a moment for the two of us to send them back."
"Oh, that's right. I can't do it, but you two can! Wait a moment, heal their wounds first."
Nangong Jiu tapped Jiang Yuan and the others, and they immediately felt their injuries were much better.
"Jiang Yuan, wait a moment. Sit on the dog and the broom, close your eyes and don't move. We will be back to our barracks in a moment."
Jiang Yuan and the others seemed to be dreaming, foolishly asking, "Can we really go back?"
"Don't worry, it'll only take a moment."
Several people stood up in disbelief and were about to kneel down.
At this time, several jailers came to the prison door, unlocked it, entered the cell, and brought the last meal.
"Eat, I'll send you on your way in an hour."
Jiang Yuan sneered: "Isn't it tomorrow at noon? Are you so impatient to see us die?"
"This is what the higher-ups mean. There's a road to heaven, but you refuse to take it. You can't blame us, Beiyue. Just die sooner and reincarnate sooner."
"Humph, with all your calculations, you still want to have friendly relations with Dongling? Dream on!"
The jailer raised the whip in his hand and said, "Just be tough. When people die, there is nothing left.
Besides, we are just jailers, and our job is to serve you your last meal. You have no right to preach your big principles to us.
Even if we die, our ghosts won’t come looking for us.”
After saying that, he snorted, locked the cell door and left.
Nangong Jiu ordered Xiao Wang Xiaoxing: "Hurry up, if you want to leave later, it will be much more troublesome."
Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing quickly appeared and grew larger, standing in front of Jiang Yuan and the others.
Nangong Jiu urged them, "Hurry, three people sit on the dog and two people sit on the broom.
Remember, close your eyes. Do not open them until you are told to, or you will fall to your death."
Jiang Yuan and his companions quickly agreed and sat down.
Xiaoxing looked at Master Nangong Jiu and his disciples.
"Your Majesty, what are you guys going to do?"
