Chapter 866: Trick
Liang Cheng quickly opened the letter, glanced at it quickly, and then handed it directly to Shen Qingqian, "Miss Shen San was indeed captured by them."
The letter was written crookedly, obviously by someone from the Jun tribe who had learned the Dajin language. Although the handwriting was ugly, the meaning was very clear.
Shen Qingxiao is in their hands. If the Hubei Northern Army wants to rescue him, they are not allowed to continue pursuing him and must provide enough food and fodder for 100,000 troops for three months.
After reading the letter, Shen Qingqian was still unsure and frowned in thought.
Sheng Ze also quickly scanned the contents of the letter and said nothing after reading it.
Considering the overall situation, the Hubei Northern Army would naturally not give up the pursuit plan for the sake of Shen Qingxiao, and it would be even more impossible to provide food and fodder to the Jun people.
But since this matter involved the Shen family, Sheng Ze had other plans in mind.
"Uncle, although I am anxious to rescue my third sister, we cannot do what they say based on just a letter like this. Please write back and ask them to prove that my third sister is really in their hands. If my third sister is not unharmed, then there is no need to discuss anything." Shen Qingqian said with a serious face.
Before seeing them, no one can be sure whether the Jun people have any conspiracy.
Similarly, Shen Qingqian was still worried because she didn't see Shen Qingxiao safe, but she couldn't panic at this moment.
Liang Cheng looked at Shen Qingqian with admiration. This girl had a really good character. Shen Qingxiao had been missing for so long, yet she was still able to keep her composure and not let herself be led around by the other party. "Okay, I'll give the order right away."
Liang Cheng strode away. Sheng Ze stepped forward and whispered soothingly, "No matter what, at least we are sure that the third girl is in their hands."
Once the direction is determined, everything else will be easy.
Shen Qingqian smiled bitterly and said, "Third sister has never suffered such hardship before. I don't know if she can hold on."
Even when they were on the road of exile, at least their family was together. But now, Shen Qingxiao was alone facing Rong Shaomin and his group. Just thinking about it made Shen Qingqian feel anxious for her.
"How dare the people of Dajin dare to put forward conditions?" The Khan of the Jun tribe looked at Rong Shaomin fiercely, "Didn't you say that they would definitely do what I said?"
Rong Shaomin's face was filled with anger. "Don't worry, big brother. They value the Shen family very much. They made this request to confirm whether the person is in our hands. We will do as they say."
"You lost everyone when you did what they said. How can I do what they said now?" The Khan of the Jun tribe was almost laughing out of anger.
During this period, his original arrogance was completely destroyed by the gunpowder weapons of the Hubei Northern Army. Now he just wanted to take his men and escape back as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Rong Shaomin found him at this time and said that there was a way to make the Hubei Northern Army withdraw.
He was half-believing and half-doubting and sent a letter to the Hubei Northern Army, but he did not expect to receive such an answer.
"Brother, don't be angry. If there is no one, we will find someone to give them to them," Rong Shaomin said harshly.
The Khan of the Jun tribe now understood and immediately called the people around him to make the arrangements.
Just as the brother and sister had arranged their plan, soldiers from the Jin Dynasty arrived in front of the tent.
"Great Khan, these people say they were sent by the Emperor of the Great Jin. Please, Great Khan, make your decision!"
They are fighting with the Jin people. Who among the Jin people who don't care about their lives would come here alone? There must be something wrong with these people!
However, Rong Shaomin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You were sent by the Emperor of Jin to cooperate with us."
