Chapter 157 Seventh Prince, Let’s Go Fishing

Tick, tick, tick!

The black-armored guards moved forward quickly with the clatter of horse hooves.

Jiang Yueyao and Jiang Yuansong were placed in the center of the team and were heavily protected.

There were also two black-armored guards holding seeds and following closely behind Jiang Yueyao and Jiang Yuansong.

Chu Wuxian took the lead and was on guard at all times.

I have to say that the Black Guards' military discipline is really amazing.

In such an environment, Jiang Yueyao had no mood to complain or feel tired.

Instead, he just rode forward honestly.

Fortunately, after coming to this world for some time, Jiang Yueyao has already learned to ride a horse.

Otherwise, we might have to be led away by others, which would slow down the progress of the entire team.

Chu Wuxun's guess was correct, and the group encountered two more waves of assassins along the way.

However, facing the black armored guards, these assassins were killed easily.

Jiang Yueyao didn't even need to turn on the enemy detection function.

There were several more casualties among the Black Armored Guards, but fortunately no one was seriously injured, and no one died, which was the only lucky thing.

Just as it was getting dark, Jiang Yueyao and his group finally returned to the main force and joined up with the other black-armored guards.

Then without saying a word, a team quickly headed towards the capital.

It was not until they returned to the capital that everyone finally felt relieved.

Jiang Yuansong took Jiang Yueyao directly home, and after Chu Wuxun sent the siblings back to the Jiang family, he led his troops to the palace.

…

…

"What? Someone actually assassinated you?"

"Wuxian, how are you? Are you injured?"

Upon hearing the news, Chu Yingrui was almost furious.

Someone actually wanted to harm his dearest nephew.

And among the people harmed was his most beloved little fairy Jiang Yueyao.

"Your Majesty, I am fine."

Chu Wuxun quickly stopped Chu Yingrui from taking off his clothes.

"Miss Jiang is fine too."

"His Majesty."

Chu Wuxun changed the subject.

"This time, it was because I took Miss Jiang to see some overseas things on a whim, which led to danger. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Chu Yingrui uttered a "Hey".

"You kid, you finally took the girl out for a walk... Wait, you said you were going to see those overseas things?"

Chu Yingrui suddenly remembered something?

Chu Wuxun nodded.

"That's right, Your Majesty should also know that Miss Jiang and I jointly opened Zuixianlou. I mentioned to her before that my subordinates had brought back a batch of overseas goods, and happened to pass by that port on the way back to Beijing, so I took Miss Jiang to take a look, but I didn't expect to encounter such an accident."

"It is my fault that Miss Jiang was frightened. Your Majesty, please punish me."

Chu Yingrui waved his hands.

"You didn't do anything wrong, so why should you be punished?"

"But when you went to see that overseas thing, did you find anything interesting?"

Chu Yingrui was hinting at something.

He was still thinking about the high-yield crops that Jiang Yueyao mentioned.

Chu Wuxun nodded.

"Miss Jiang did find some interesting little things in it, so I decided to give them to Miss Jiang. If there is anything wrong with it, I will take those things back."

Chu Yingrui: ...

He wouldn't want to compete with a little girl for those little toys.

What he cares about is obviously the seeds, the seeds.

But I can't say it directly.

When I was anxious.

Chu Wuxun lowered his head, smiled slightly, and then quickly put away his smile.

When he raised his head again, his cold look had returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang also found several bags of seeds from those things. I think they are some crops grown overseas."

"I have brought these seeds back and am going to ask someone to try planting them and see what the overseas plants look like."

Chu Yingrui: ...

Here it comes, here it comes, the content he most wants to hear is finally here.

“There are still seeds?”

"Okay, okay!"

"Wu Hung, I trust you the most. I'll leave these seeds to you. Find someone to plant them and make sure they produce some results."

"Food is the first necessity of the people. Food is the first necessity of the people of Da Chu. We must take it seriously."

Chu Wuxun nodded.

"I will obey your orders and will not let you down."

…

…

We have finished our business.

The uncle and nephew talked about the previous attack again.

"Wu Xian, do you have any clues about the identities of the assassins in the previous attack?"

Chu Wuhuang shook his head.

"The assassins were all dead men. I had their bodies carefully examined. They were very clean. There was nothing that could prove their identities. I was incompetent."

Chu Yingrui waved his hands.

"You can't say that. Since they are assassins sent here, they must be prepared to never come back. They certainly won't let you easily find out their identities. It's normal if you can't find out. If you find out... hehe, then it's probably a frame-up."

"Your Majesty is right."

"Although I don't know who is behind those assassins, there are probably only a few of them... Especially King Qian, who suffered such a big loss before, and it was you who was in charge of this matter. I'm afraid King Qian has already hated you... Wuxun, you have to be more careful during this period."

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and were very clear about the current situation.

Chu Yingrui talked about another thing.

"The Seventh Prince... I asked him to leave the palace and arranged for him to work in the Ministry of Rites."

"It just so happens that people from Beiliang are coming soon, so let Lao Qi go to receive them."

The war between Da Chu and Bei Liang has ended, but... there are still many things to do besides the war.

For example...Beijing suffered a huge defeat this time, doesn't it need to cede land or pay compensation?

Isn't it necessary to escort the hostages to Beijing?

Isn't it necessary to kneel down to him, the Emperor of Great Chu?

Because the war cost so much money, we must make up for these losses through post-war negotiations.

Chu Wuhen frowned.

"Seventh Prince..."

Chu Wuxun has been investigating the person who colluded with Beiliang since returning to Beijing.

Now many of the small minions below have been caught, but the big fish that was hiding the deepest has never been caught.

But Chu Wuxun suspected that the man was most likely one of the three foreign kings.

And the Seventh Prince is likely to be involved in this.

After all, he had previously come across the Seventh Prince and the Minister of Revenue having a private transaction.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was involved in the case of stealing military rations.

Although in the subsequent investigation, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue refused to admit it, let alone admit that he had any collusion with the Seventh Prince, he died mysteriously in prison.

But Chu Wuxun has already linked this matter to the Seventh Prince.

Not to mention that in Jiang Yueyao's mind, this seventh prince might plot to usurp the throne in the future.

Then his suspicion would naturally become greater.

His Majesty actually allowed such a person to participate in state affairs.

It seems... Your Majesty has made up his mind to use the Seventh Prince to fish.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
