The other side was willing to cede ten cities in order to get Yanxiao to return.
Seeing that the other party was willing to spend so much money to exchange for a woman, Ye Chenzhou became curious and investigated Yan Xiao.
He discovered something extraordinary: Yanxiao was actually the crown prince's fiancée from the enemy country. Originally, he only planned to marry the crown prince after returning from gathering information, but this situation had occurred.
When Hua Xun learned of this, he felt like the sky had fallen. Ye Chenzhou, seeing the other party's reaction, had initially wanted Yan Xiao dead, but now changed his mind and immediately agreed to the exchange. He then sent Hua Xun to escort Yan Xiao to the exchange.
Some people think the emperor was too cruel, practically killing someone's spirit; others feel it's inappropriate, since the two seemed to have such a good relationship before, and who knows what might happen this time.
But General Hua felt that although His Majesty was killing people and attacking their spirit, it was also an opportunity to prove that his son had not betrayed the country.
Therefore, after arguing with the opposing court officials, Hua Xun naturally accepted the task.
Hua Xun's expression changed when he first heard this, and now it's even worse.
However, he had no choice but to obey the emperor's orders, so even though he was unwilling, he obediently followed the orders when he saw the smiling man sitting at the head of the table.
…
As Hua Xun was escorting the other party for exchange, Yan Xiao looked at the person she knew so well, her eyes slightly reddening, and said softly, "Ah Xun, I really didn't do the assassination. I really didn't mean to kill you. Believe me."
She had fallen for this man during their time together, but why did things turn out this way? It wasn't like she had expected.
And who exactly hired the assassin? She really didn't do it. Who is trying to frame her?
Hua Xun looked at the woman in front of him and sneered: "The matter has been investigated and the evidence is conclusive. You still say you didn't do it? Do you want to say you're not a spy for the enemy country? Heh, ten cities. It seems the Crown Prince of Chao is quite fond of you."
The fact that the other party was the crown princess of an enemy country was also irrefutable. With piles of evidence falling on his head, even he, as foolish as he was, would understand.
Yan Xiao shook her head with tears streaming down her face, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal, because before the engagement was dissolved, she was the future Crown Princess of the Dynasty, but she did not like the Crown Prince.
The reason she came here was because she had already made arrangements with His Majesty. As long as she completed her mission, she could dissolve her engagement with His Highness the Crown Prince.
She had thought that after completing the mission, she would break off the engagement and be with Hua Xun forever, but now everything had become an illusion.
…
The exchange went smoothly until, suddenly, the person standing in front of Hua Xun made a move.
Hua Xun was shocked and quickly dodged, thankfully he reacted quickly.
"You're trying to break the agreement!" Hua Xun Da Jin exclaimed in disbelief.
The envoy standing before him spoke up: "So what if it is? Right now, Ye Kingdom only has two capable commanders: you and your father. Your death will also be a blow to your father. As long as you are dead, our Great Dynasty will surely win."
"You're not quite there yet if you want me dead." Hua Xun reacted quickly, picking up the sword beside him to fight back. At the same time, the soldiers who heard the commotion arrived.
Hua Xun brought a large group with him this time, so they quickly gained the upper hand.
Knowing they were at a disadvantage, the Korean envoys covered Yanxiao's departure.
The Ye Kingdom envoy who had come with Hua Xun looked at the city contract in his hand and said, "Alright, young general, we shouldn't pursue a desperate enemy. Let's go back and report the situation."
Hua Xun thought about it and nodded in agreement. However, he did not expect that the Chao Kingdom would be so shameless, wanting to go back on its word after both sides had agreed to the agreement.
Moreover, they misunderstood one thing: Ye Kingdom is a great nation, how could it lack talented generals and ministers? It's just that their Hua family has always been outstanding in this regard.
Unfortunately, this excellence brought him all sorts of trouble.
…
When Hua Xun returned to the capital, it was the night before Wan Ge's wedding.
That night, Ye Chenzhou sat on the wall between the two houses, holding several jugs of wine, and drank them all.
The next day, Hua Xun was awakened by the noise, and then stood on the wall, watching the woman who had been sincere to him marry someone else.
Although the preparation time for the emperor and empress's wedding was not long, it was still a very grand affair.
