Chapter 348 Wanwan is held hostage
[Father, Father, isn’t this what Auntie Xiaochun said? She said that the person who came here lied to them and said that he was going to work at the dock.]
[Father, please ask if he is Aunt Xiaochun's husband.]
The Great Chu Emperor listened to Lu Xingwan's words but did not speak.
What Wanwan was concerned about were the people around her, including Lin Xiaochun's family, whom she had just met.
But what he cared about in his heart were the common people of the world. In his eyes, all of them were the same.
After listening to them, the Great Chu Emperor turned to look at Pei Chuyan and asked, "Chuyan, did you find anything else?"
Prime Minister Lin also looked expectantly at Prince Pei, who was now holding Princess Yong'an.
To be honest, he never thought highly of this kid before. In his eyes, Prince Pei was only able to enjoy such favor in front of the Queen Mother and His Majesty because of his wealth and the fact that he was the only son of Duke Anguo.
But this time, he knew it.
Although Prince Pei was very young, he was good at commanding troops. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the group along the way were all arranged by him, and everything was in order without any mistakes.
Not to mention, last night he personally led his men deep into the mountains and forests and arrested all these bandits.
Even Song Zhuo, who was more than ten years older than him, had to obey his orders.
Your Majesty is not that kind of confused emperor.
It can be seen that Prince Pei really has some real talents and abilities.
It was precisely because of this that Prime Minister Lin had higher expectations for him.
Pei Chuyan said nothing, but turned to look at Song Zhuo beside him and said, "Your Majesty, this leader looks like a rough guy, but in fact he doesn't know any martial arts at all."
"When I arrived, he was guarding this account book very closely."
"I took a rough look and found some old accounts on it." Pei Chuyan did not say the rest. He could clearly see from the accounts that the person behind these people was indeed the former Prime Minister Cui Wen.
When Lu Xingwan heard Pei Chuyan say this, she became even more curious and jumped off Pei Chuyan, wanting to run to the side of the Great Chu Emperor.
Naturally, she also wanted to take a look at what the account book looked like.
But as luck would have it, one of the people being held in the hall suddenly broke free from the rope, and when Lu Xingwan passed by her, she reached out and pulled her past him.
"Wanwan!"
"Wanwan!"
"Princess!"
Several people spoke at the same time and looked at the ferocious-looking man.
"I think this is the Princess Yong'an that His Majesty loves so much," the man pinched Lu Xingwan's neck with his hands, his face full of viciousness, and stepped back step by step, "Give me money! I want one hundred taels! Cash! Let me go!"
The man screamed at the top of his lungs, "I will let Princess Yong'an go!"
"Otherwise, I will let her be buried with me!"
Having said this, he exerted force on his palm, and Lu Xingwan unexpectedly started coughing violently.
[You bad guys, it's you who have been doing evil and persecuting the people, and now you dare to hold this princess hostage. ]
[There are so many martial arts masters in this hall, do you think you can escape alive? ]
Prime Minister Lin quickly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait, wait, everything can be discussed, just don't hurt the princess."
The Emperor of Great Chu also looked at the person in front of him very nervously and swallowed his saliva. It can be seen that he was very nervous.
Another person who was even more panicked than Prime Minister Lin was Song Zhuo.
But fortunately, the experience he had gained in the military camp during these days had made him much calmer. He paced slowly, trying to get behind the man and take the opportunity to control him, but he was discovered unexpectedly.
"Stop!" The man pinched Lu Xingwan's neck and turned to look at Song Zhuo, his eyes full of anger, "If you dare to come one step closer, I will kill her."
For some reason, Lu Xingwan was calmer than ever before.
It was as if she knew in her heart that nothing would happen to her today, and that someone would rescue her safely from this man.
I have to say that the atmosphere in the hall was indeed very tense for a while.
The Great Chu Emperor heaved a long sigh and finally spoke: "Wei Cheng, go prepare silver for him and do as he asks."
Seeing that the Emperor of Chu finally gave in, the man also breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when he relaxed, Pei Chuyan flew forward, kicked him away, and took Lu Xingwan into his arms.
[Wow! Prince Pei is so cool! ]
When Lu Xingwan was spinning in the air, she did not look afraid at all, and all she could see was Pei Chuyan's elegant figure.
The man had already been controlled by Song Zhuo who stepped forward and stepped on the ground.
When the Great Chu Emperor saw him, he was furious: "Drag him away and chop him off."
No matter whether this person is an important person or what evidence he has, it doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is that he almost killed his own Wanwan.
The Great Chu Emperor then hurriedly stood up, walked to Pei Chuyan's side, took Lu Xingwan over, and carefully checked whether she had any injuries.
Sure enough, Wanwan's neck was pinched red by that man, and the eyes of the Emperor of Chu instantly became red.
Lu Xingwan was busy wiping the tears of the Emperor of Chu.
[Father, Father, what are you doing? Stop crying!]
[They say men don’t shed tears easily, but you are the king of a country...]
[No, no, father, you have to hold it in. If you cry today, everyone in this room will laugh at you.]
[In the future, that old man, Prime Minister Lin, will tell everyone that His Majesty actually cried because a man held Princess Yong'an hostage.]
Having said this, Lu Xingwan hugged the Emperor of Chu again.
【Hug me every night, and don’t cry, father.】
Hearing Lu Xingwan's words, the Great Chu Emperor burst out laughing.
Pei Chuyan, who was kneeling on the ground and apologizing at this time, looked up at His Majesty. Naturally, the other people in the hall also looked up at His Majesty.
Is your majesty crazy?
Looking at him just now, he clearly looked very anxious.
Why are you laughing again suddenly?
Seeing that the Emperor of Chu finally smiled, Lu Xingwan's heart finally settled down.
The Great Chu Emperor turned around and looked at Prime Minister Lin, wanting to stop the trial.
Lu Xingwan's next words left him speechless.
[Father, please hurry up. Wanwan also wants to see the account book. Let Wanwan see it too.]
[Look at Pei Chuyan, he seems to be hesitant to speak. There must be something in the account book.]
Hearing Lu Xingwan's words, the Emperor of Great Chu sighed, then held her in his arms and sat back in his previous seat.
Only then did he notice Pei Chuyan kneeling on the ground: "Get up quickly. Didn't the Imperial Concubine tell you not to take all the responsibility on yourself?"
"What happened just now is not something you can take care of."
"I should thank you for saving Wanwan."
