Chapter 509 The Emperor and Concubine Xian were captured
On the third day, as expected, the soldiers came to report that the Lu Family Army had returned.
"The Lu Family Army has returned, so where is the garrison commander General Lu?" Xiao Yuheng asked curiously after taking a look at the team.
"Humph!" The leader who brought the team back snorted coldly.
"The team is disbanded, how come only so many people have returned!" Concubine Xian stepped forward and looked at the disbanded team with an extremely serious expression.
"Miss, you are finally back!" The leader stepped forward and bowed to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I report that General Lu neglected his duties and colluded with the enemy and rebelled!"
"What?" Concubine Xian exclaimed.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yin asked.
"We are outside the Great Wall, and we have never had anything to do with Dongming. There is no trade between the two countries. Although Dongming has been eyeing us covetously over the years, every attack has been defeated!"
The leader told Xiao Yin and others that General Lu took the initiative to seek peace with the other side and went to make friends with the princess. After that, the two often drank together, and more Dongming people came to the border cities.
Dongming people are cunning, and most of their people are engaged in refining weapons. Their people are barbaric and unreasonable, and they are eyeing Dawei covetously.
Therefore, Dawei and Dongming have never had any exchanges over the years.
And the Dongming Princess has always liked Xiaoyin very much. For more than ten years, she has not married for Xiaoyin.
Xiao Yin doesn't like to go to Dongming, nor does he want to have too many interactions with Dongming. This time, if it weren't for the chaos on the border of Dongming and the fact that Dongming was ready to move, he would not have been willing to come here.
Of course, with Xiao Xier, he also wants to take over Dongming. Otherwise, if Xiao Xier grows up and inherits the bloodline of the Great Wei Kingdom, Xiao Yin is really worried that Dongming will not be pacified.
"Would my father do this? I don't believe it!" Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and said, "I came here a few days ago, and when I couldn't find him, he was actually outside the pass to accompany the eldest princess? This is impossible."
Xiao Yin looked at Concubine Xian, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, shaking his head at her.
"Don't worry, let's go and see together and make a decision later!" Xiao Yin said.
"Yeah!" Concubine Xian nodded.
"How could my grandfather be like that? Impossible!" Xiao Yuheng didn't believe it either.
His grandfather's family, his uncle and his aunt were all generals in the past. In the early years, they all died on the battlefield. His cousins were the same. They died on the battlefield. Later, his grandmother was taken to the capital, but she died of illness within two years. Only his grandfather was still on the frontier battlefield. How could he rebel?
"General Lu is a man of integrity. I have seen him several times in the past. How could he be like this? Even if anyone else was like this, he wouldn't do that!" Yuan Hui said.
Let alone anything else, so many people in the Lu family died in the past, leaving only Lu Yuanyuan for Xiao Yin to take away. After that, this was the only child left. Even in this situation, how could General Lu be like this?
"But, we have all tried to persuade him, we even knelt down and begged him to come back, but he was unwilling. He said that all his family members died for the Great Wei, but the Great Wei still made him a garrison general, especially near the Dongming Kingdom, which is extremely desolate. Looking at those mines, even if he is guarding a pile of gold and silver, what's the use?" said the general.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all. My father would not do this. My father would never do such a thing." Concubine Xian shook her head, she took the weapon beside her and walked out.
Xiao Yin raised his hand to stop her: "Yuanyuan, I will go with you."
This time, baby Ruoxi did not want to follow.
It seemed that she had been with her master all these days, and she had forgotten everything else, and just wanted to play with her master.
The border remained the same. Not long after the Emperor and Concubine Xian left, news came.
"It's over. King Xian has decided that His Majesty the Emperor and Concubine Xian have been kidnapped."
"What?" Xiao Yuheng was playing with Xiao Xi'er. On the side, Qiu Chanzi was playing chess with Xiao Yuze and Xiao Ruilin. When they heard the report from the outsiders, they were also shocked and looked up at Xiao Yuheng.
Baby Ruoxi pondered for a while and said, "Let's go to Dongming!" We
have to go sooner or later. Going now is almost the same as going in the future. However, Baby Ruoxi has not yet decided whether to kill all the royal family of Dongming at once and take them in, or to have a good discussion with them and let them give up.
Over the years, the gold, silver and iron ore produced by Dongming Mine has become less and less, and many mountain ranges have been hollowed out. It is said that many people in Dongming died of hunger, which also changed their mentality and they always wanted to attack Dawei and Beiling.
In the past, Beiling was occupied by Dongming, but it was not easy for them to take the border of Dawei. After all, General Lu was also a very strong opponent. He went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen and has been staying at the border for nearly forty years. He knows the battlefield like the back of his hand.
However, for some reason, General Lu has recently come together with Princess Dongming, and there are countless versions of their private relationship.
Baby Ruoxi followed her second brother, third brother and brother to get on the carriage and headed towards Dongming.
"We go to Dongming like this, and people will probably let down their guard when they see us!" Xiao Yuheng said, looking at the scene in the carriage.
"Yeah!" Baby Ruoxi nodded. Her master was also in the carriage, and he was making tea for them.
Speaking of making tea, baby Ruoxi became excited. She knelt on the mat, watching her master put the tea leaves into the small stove, and her little hand pinched a piece of orange and put it in.
"Xi'er, is this messy?" Xiao Yuheng said.
"Xi'er is not messing around. If you add some special things to the tea brewed around the stove, it will have a special taste. Xi'er used to like to add some flowers, some herbs, or even throw two fruits in. The taste is really special!" Qiu Chanzi said.
"Well, I finally know why Xiao Xi'er always thinks about Master. It turns out that Master always dotes on Xiao Xi'er!" Xiao Yuheng said.
"I heard about it these days. You guys are not bad either!" Qiu Chanzi said with a smile.
These days, he and Xiao Xi'er walked in the city. He really felt the people's love for Xi'er, especially when he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had to take Xiao Xi'er with him wherever he went. Xiao Xi'er was carried to court by him before she was out of confinement.
The customs of the Wei Dynasty also changed because of Xiao Xi'er, which made Qiu Chanzi even more excited.
"Xi'er is related to us by blood!" Xiao Ruilin said.
"That's right!" Qiu Chanzi nodded and said.
Dongming Kingdom is already in front of us.
"My father and my mother must have disguised themselves to get in!" Xiao Yuheng said.
