Chapter 1490 No Blockage
The posthouse in the capital of Dagan has been quite busy recently because the envoys from Luopan have arrived three days ago. They delivered their message to the Emperor of Dagan and expressed their attitude. All that remains is to enjoy Dagan's warm hospitality.
The group was treated to fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women every day, which made them reluctant to leave. If they had not remembered the king's order, they would have wanted to stay and work hard.
In the past two days, the group has been secretly contacting the spies left in Dagan, collecting intelligence bit by bit, and sending out spies to find out the attitude of the Dagan royal family. That night, Luosha, the main leader of the Luopan Kingdom, summoned his two confidants to the room.
"Rama, Ross, have you been drunk in the arms of beauties these past two days? Have you found out all the information I asked you to find out?"
The bearded Rakshasa said sullenly.
"Sir, don't worry, those are all illusions, they are meant to make the people of Da Gan relax their vigilance, otherwise it will be difficult for us to deal with them."
Rama, with a white face and no beard, immediately said with a smile.
Ross, who had a scar at the corner of his eye, immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
Luosha rolled his eyes at the two of them, thinking that he didn't know their moral character. However, as long as it didn't interfere with their important work, he wouldn't restrict them too much.
"Okay, then tell me what you found out?"
Rama and Ross looked at each other, and Rama stepped forward and said:
"Sir, my brothers and I have been hanging out in casinos, bars, and brothels recently, and we actually got some information from the children of some powerful people."
“Is it reliable?”
"They are reliable. They are all children of powerful families. They speak the truth when they are drunk."
Ross said affirmatively.
"Tell me about it."
"The king asked us to take their crown prince back as a hostage. Except for the queen, the other noble families are happy to see this happen."
"What do you mean?"
"The current empress is the first wife of Emperor Gan. She only has one son and one daughter. The eldest daughter was named Princess Anping, and the son is the eldest prince. If nothing goes wrong, the eldest prince will be the future crown prince. It's just that the emperor has not yet issued an edict to confer the title on him because he is under the age of sixteen.
At this time, we proposed to take the eldest prince to Luopan Kingdom. Although Emperor Da Gan felt humiliated, he could accept it because he had more than one son, but only a few adult sons.
He is just sending a son who has not been canonized to our country. Not only will he not suffer any loss, but he can also appease us.
The noble families of Gan State are also advising Emperor Gan to arrange for the eldest prince to accompany us back to Luopan State as soon as possible so that they can send us away.
After we leave, Emperor Gan only needs to issue an edict to appoint a crown prince, and the matter will be resolved satisfactorily. He will only lose a son, and nothing else will be delayed. "
After hearing this, Luosha touched his beard and said in a cold voice:
"From what you said, although we can complete the king's order this time, we can't gain any advantage at all?"
"Sir, the most we can do is to ask the eldest prince to take more women and gold and silver treasures with him when he goes with us. It seems that we can't gain any other advantage."
Ross told the truth.
After hearing this, Luosha felt a little uncomfortable. This was not in line with the usual style of their Luopan country.
At this time, Rama thought for a while and said:
"The spies in the palace spread the news that the court officials believed that handing over the eldest prince of Gan Kingdom as a hostage would be a disgrace to Gan Kingdom's national prestige, so they proposed that the princess marry, and specifically asked Princess Anping to marry to our Luopan Kingdom."
"Oh? From what I hear, they had an internal conflict. But why are they all targeting the Queen's child?"
Rakshasa was very perceptive and immediately saw the problem.
Ross immediately said:
"This subordinate knows."
"you say."
“The Queen is from the Nangong family, which has produced two queens. The Nangong family can be said to be the leader among the aristocratic families.
The power of the maternal relatives is quite great and has aroused the vigilance of Emperor Gan. Therefore, our visit this time and the request for a hostage seem to have inadvertently complied with the wishes of other families and the emperor.
Whether it is choosing the crown prince or marrying the eldest princess, Emperor Gan only has bad reputation, but the benefits are in his hands, whether it is the Nangong family or other families. "
"If the news is true, I'm afraid we have to think carefully. We can't be the bad guys. They get the benefits, and we become the ones who solve the problems for Emperor Gan."
"Your Excellency is wise."
Ramli flattered.
Then he lowered his voice by two points and said:
"I came back late today because I went to the 'Garden of Flowers' in the capital and bought a piece of great news from the top jade girl there."
Luosha glared at his subordinate and said directly:
"explain!"
"This Miss Feicui has a patron who is the youngest son of the second-rank Yuan of the Qian Dynasty. When he got drunk, he said he wanted Princess Shang."
"What does this have to do with us?"
Rakshasa said unhappily.
"Sir, don't be impatient, just listen to me."
Rama immediately comforted him and then continued:
"The princess he was talking about was the eldest princess Anping, who was now of marriageable age. Because she was Emperor Gan's first child, and Emperor Gan ascended the throne shortly after Anping was born, he doted on this daughter very much, even more than the princes, and promised to give her three cities as a dowry."
When Rakshasa heard this, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed Rama's hand and asked excitedly:
"Are you telling the truth? Is this news true?"
"Sir, this news should not be wrong. I just don't know if Emperor Gan will fulfill his promise if the eldest princess marries to our Luopan Kingdom."
Rama understood what his boss meant and spoke immediately.
Luosha released his hand, stood up, turned around twice on the ground, and said:
“Starting tomorrow, you will find out more about this princess. I want to know everything about her preferences, personality, appearance, and how she behaves in society. Once I confirm that the news is true, I will pass it back.
No matter which of the three princes marries Princess Anping, we can get three cities without losing a single soldier. This deal is very cost-effective.
Rather than capturing a prince who poses no threat to Emperor Gan, it is better to pocket some tangible benefits. Besides, a woman will be easier to control. As long as she and the prince give birth to an heir, she will definitely stand on the side of Luopan Kingdom wholeheartedly. Maybe we will get more in the future."
Luosha rubbed his hands and became more and more excited as he spoke, obviously having foreseen a bright future.
Rama and Ross were also very excited after hearing this. If it was really as their boss said, then they would be the heroes of the Luopan Kingdom.
"I understand. I will find out all the information about the princess as soon as possible."
Starting from the next day, the envoys from the Luopan Kingdom began to intentionally or unintentionally inquire about the news of Princess Anping.
At this time, Lianyi was eating an ice drink and listening to Fulin's reply.
"You did a good job. You can find an opportunity to leak my portrait, but don't leak too many. Make sure my portrait is so beautiful that it can make fish sink to the bottom of their waters and geese fall to the ground, or the moon hide in shame."
"Yes, Princess."
"Have you alarmed the people on the emperor's side?"
"The emperor's men noticed my actions, but they did not stop me."
Lian Yi smiled sarcastically and said:
"Nothing is blocking me! That's good enough!"
See you tomorrow! !
