Chapter 335 Not Now
The matters concerning Baicheng and Xicheng of Qingluo Kingdom were considered secret missions. As long as Chu Chengyi did not have to go there during the morning court hours, he would attend court as usual.
Little Gourd was staring at the people that Chu Qinshu had counted out for it. No matter what schemes or tricks they had, they would not be able to escape its eyes.
The envoys of Yansha Kingdom and Liu Renyi basically had to negotiate for several hours every day.
Seven days passed, and not only did she fail to obtain compensation, but she was brainwashed by Liu Renyi every day.
Liu Renyi wanted to push the blame of that "ethnic" issue onto Sheng Anguo.
The envoy of Yansha Kingdom wanted to get the compensation from Qingluo Kingdom, and then go to Sheng'an Kingdom to defraud another sum.
Both parties had their own agenda, leading to a deadlock in the negotiations.
Of course, during these seven days, Qingluo Shadow Guard also found out a lot of important information.
For example, the "human race" plan of Yansha Kingdom was an agreement reached privately between Liu Renyi and Guo Mu, the frontier expansion commander of Yansha Kingdom.
Liu Renyi charged an entry fee of ten taels of silver per person from the Yansha Kingdom. For the first batch of 10,000 people, he would be able to get 100,000 taels of silver.
Of course, after the two parties reached an agreement, he first received half of the good faith money, which was 50,000 taels of silver.
All of this silver was deposited into his private account, and the Qingluo court was completely unaware of it.
Then there was the group of Yansha 'races', some of whom were taken into the military prostitute camp by Liu Renyi's coastal defense forces, some were rescued by the people left behind in Gu Yanxiang by Guo Mu, and some were rescued by the imperial court in Qingluo Capital.
But as to why these people appeared in these places, Shadow Guard only found out that it was related to their Divine Bird Army, and the specific situation is still under investigation.
The most important point is that eighty warships of Yansha Kingdom have already stationed at Xicheng Wharf, but Liu Renyi did not send troops to attack.
Instead, he provided them with food and fodder, and met with the people of Yansha Kingdom every day to discuss matters.
They suspected that Liu Renyi had betrayed Qingluo Kingdom.
After Shadow Guards obtained this information, they reported it all back to Emperor Qingluo.
Emperor Qingluo originally still suspected that the letter that night was deliberately sent by someone to instigate.
But after seeing the news sent back by Shadow Guard, I had to believe that there was really a problem with the Xicheng Coastal Defense Force.
So on this day, he summoned several military ministers to discuss how to deal with the situation.
Chu Chengyi and Chu Qinshu only stayed in Yu's study for half a day every day, and returned to the main courtyard of the East Palace to watch videos in the afternoon.
Or go to Xicheng or even the capital of Qingluo Kingdom and do something to "assist" Shadow Guard in finding out the truth faster.
"Master, Little Gourd is amazing."
A lot of the information that Shadow Guard got was written by Xiao Hulu.
Little Gourd is very proud of this.
It is a practicing medicine gourd, but it actually has the ability to control the situation by skill, which is really a great honor for the medicine gourd world.
"Of course it's great, the little gourd is awesome."
Chu Qinshu would enter the space every day and keep an eye on the things happening in Xicheng with Xiao Hulu, which provided a lot of ideas for playing the modified video to Shadow Guard.
Of course, she only does the talking, while Xiao Hulu does all the video editing.
The purpose of Liu Renyi's negotiation with the envoys of Yansha Kingdom was to brainwash them and set his sights on preparing Sheng'an Kingdom.
This does not cause any harm to Qingluo State itself.
But how could Chu Qinshu let Shadow Guard hear such a negotiation?
So he used a little trick and put the edited video in front of the guard while they were negotiating.
Shadow Guard had never seen such a magical thing as video, and Xiao Hulu's craftsmanship was good enough to make the fake look real.
Liu Renyi was therefore suspected of treason.
Moreover, the eighty warships of Yansha Kingdom were parked clearly at the Xicheng Pier. As long as the Shadow Guard was not blind, they could see them.
It is also true that Liu Renyi delivered food and fodder to the warships of the Yansha Kingdom.
The purpose of the Yansha Kingdom's coming this time was to obtain compensation, so they brought many soldiers and generals, but not enough food and fodder.
In order to show the friendship between Qingluo and Yansha, Liu Renyi took the initiative to send food and grass on board when the envoy of Yansha asked for a batch of food and grass.
His deputy general once suggested that since the Yansha Kingdom was short of food and grass, they should starve them for a few days, and when they were too weak to fight, they could wipe them out in one fell swoop.
However, the envoy of Yansha Kingdom stated that the news of their negotiations here had already been delivered to the capital, and if Liu Renyi did not cooperate, the news would be reported to the court.
In order to achieve his goal, Liu Renyi had no choice but to endure.
After all, his deal with Guo Mu could not be made public.
"If the military ministers of Qingluo Kingdom had been more capable, Liu Renyi would have been dead soon."
Little Gourd was watching the video of the study room of Qingluo Kingdom, where the king and his ministers were arguing fiercely.
Some suggested arresting Liu Renyi immediately, while others suggested letting Liu Renyi redeem himself by making amends for his crime and driving the Yansha warships out of the Qingluo waters.
But some people were also worried that the enemy was numerous and we were few, and if the battle was not fought well, Xichenghai would not be able to be defended, and innocent people would be harmed.
In short, everyone expressed their opinions and the debate continued.
"He must die, but not now."
Chu Qinshu calmly glanced at the video and took a bite of the apple, not showing any nervousness at all.
Her and her father's plan was not to let Liu Renyi be defeated so easily.
He must pay the price for scheming against Sheng Anguo, right?
Although the plan did not succeed, that was also because she and Xiao Hulu reacted quickly.
Otherwise, there will be no Sheng Anguo in Changxing Continent in a few decades.
"Yes, to fight the Yansha Kingdom, we need people who understand naval warfare."
Little Gourd nodded seriously. In Qingluo Kingdom, only Xicheng is close to the sea, and the rest are all land cities.
Therefore, their coastal defense force only consists of the Liu Family Army under Liu Renyi.
Perhaps this was the reason why Emperor Qingluo and his ministers hesitated between detaining Liu Renyi and letting him lead the troops into battle.
"Well, it seems that it was right to let you read the military books."
Chu Qinshu finished eating half of the apple and handed the remaining half to Xiao Hulu.
Little Gourd took it naturally and continued to chew it.
Chu Qinshu opened another durian, took out a piece of durian flesh and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Master, you are not afraid of diarrhea. You are so young. This half apple should have filled your stomach long ago."
Whether Little Gourd has read the military book or not, only it knows.
But eating various fruits with its owner every day has become its daily routine.
In other words, it can't cook, otherwise roast chicken, roast duck and stewed goose would have been arranged long ago.
"It can satisfy your craving even when you are full."
Chu Qinshu was stubborn but still closed the durian shell in her hand.
The space is kept fresh, and there are also small gourds eating them, so there is no need to worry that the opened durian will go bad.
"Okay, you are the master and you have the final say."
The quarrels between the old men in the video are so annoying that the little gourd can only rely on arguing with its owner to clear its brain.
"I don't know if my second uncle has arrived at the border city of Youzhou. If Qingluo wants to send troops to support Xicheng, we can take the opportunity to move the northern border of Sheng'an to the north."
Chu Qinshu finished eating a small piece of durian, licked her fat fingers that had grabbed the durian, and casually talked about her ambitions.
