Chapter 1027: Dispatching Troops
Before Xiao Xixi could continue to beg, Luo Qinghan continued,
"This is a matter concerning your physical safety. There is no room for negotiation."
Xiao Xixi wilted instantly, and even the hair on her head drooped down, like a young seedling that had lost water, looking pitiful.
Luo Qinghan: "I will have someone check on Wen Jiucheng's whereabouts. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Xiao Xixi hurriedly said, "Then you guys better hurry up. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for Senior Brother and Second Brother."
Luo Qinghan bent his head and kissed her between the eyebrows. His long and thick eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the fleeting dark light in his eyes.
He whispered, "I know."
Upon learning that Luo Qinghan would send people to look for his two senior brothers, Xiao Xixi relaxed a little and was no longer as anxious as before.
She then asked about the Thousand Islands.
"Haven't Junior Brother and the Third Princess already returned to the Thousand Islands? Why is the Thousand Islands still sending troops?"
Luo Qinghan hooked a strand of her hair with his fingertips and spoke slowly.
"If you calculate the time, Chu Jian and Yi Mei should have just arrived in Wanhai City by now.
But the Thousand Islands had already sent ships before that.
This shows that the Thousand Islands had already received the news about the accident that happened to Yimei and Yizhou.
Or maybe someone had planned all this long ago.
The purpose is to make Dasheng and the Thousand Islands fight each other."
It goes without saying that the person who planned all this must be Guan Ying, and behind Guan Ying stands Tianmen.
In other words, it was Tianmen who was deliberately instigating the relationship between the Thousand Islands and the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Xiao Xixi frowned and said, "I thought the Third Princess could stop this war, but I didn't expect she was still a step too late."
Luo Qinghan said, "Not necessarily."
Xiao Xixi looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean by that?"
Luo Qinghan: "Before Chu Jian left, I had someone give him some silver as a gift for his journey south, and also gave him a brocade bag."
Xiao Xixi grabbed his sleeve and asked, "How much did you give him?"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Luo Qinghan: "Shouldn't you be asking me what's in the brocade bag?"
Xiao Xixi said confidently, "Even if I didn't ask, you would definitely tell me what's in the brocade bag. But if I didn't ask, you definitely wouldn't tell me how much silver you gave to Junior Brother. In that case, of course I have to ask about the silver."
Luo Qinghan pinched her cheek and said, "You always have a lot of twisted ideas."
Xiao Xixi urged, "Hurry up and tell me."
Luo Qinghan: "I gave him five hundred taels of silver."
At this moment, five big words clearly flashed in Xiao Xixi's eyes - envy, jealousy and hatred!
She also wants so many banknotes!
Luo Qinghan picked up a plate of red bean cakes on the table next to him.
He handed over the red bean cake: "I don't have any banknotes at the moment, but I do have a plate of food, do you want any?"
Of course Xiao Xixi wants it!
She took the red bean cake without hesitation and began to eat it with relish.
Luo Qinghan: "Do you still want to know what's in the brocade bag?"
Xiao Xixi said while eating, "I think so."
Luo Qinghan: "Kiss me and I will..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Xixi leaned over and smacked his lips, then continued to eat her red bean cake. Her entire set of movements was smooth and extremely skillful.
Luo Qinghan touched his lips and felt some red bean cake crumbs.
That was left by the kiss she had just given.
Luo Qinghan stretched out his tongue and gently licked his lower lips. He could taste a little bit of red bean flavor, which was very sweet.
All the tiredness of the whole day seemed to disappear in such a kiss.
He looked at Xixi who was eating red bean cake with her head down, and spoke slowly.
"I put a note in the bag."
Xiao Xixi pouted: "I found that you, like my master, like to put notes in the brocade bag. Did you write something on the note as well?"
Luo Qinghan put one arm around her waist, lowered his head close to her ear, and spoke softly in her ear.
"I wrote a sentence on a piece of paper, guess what it is?"
His breath sprayed on Xixi's ears, making Xixi feel itchy.
She couldn't help but hide back: "I don't guess."
The next morning, Yong'an Earl Xiao Lingfeng led an army of 20,000 and left Shengjing in a mighty manner, preparing to meet with the 20,000 troops of Mingtai County, and then go to Wanhai City together to resist the invasion of the Thousand Islands Army.
At this time in Wanhai City, the atmosphere was very tense.
Especially near the port, there were many ships from the Kuril Islands parked, and the ships were full of Kuril Islands soldiers, all of them were fully armed and had no good intentions.
The local officers and soldiers of Wanhai City have had two brief confrontations with the Thousand Islands, and both times the Thousand Islands had the upper hand.
Although the Thousand Islands is a small country, it is located on the ocean. The people in the country, regardless of gender or age, are very familiar with water. They have far more experience in water battles than the officers and soldiers of Wanhai City.
The local county magistrate of Wanhai City knew that he could not gain any advantage, so he could only try his best to delay time until reinforcements arrived. By then, they would be able to turn the situation around with their numerical advantage.
In this tense atmosphere, a group of people quietly left the Wanhai City port on a small boat in the middle of the night when no one was paying attention.
This group of people was none other than the Thousand Islands delegation headed by Chu Jian and the three princesses.
The members of the delegation rowed hard, and the oars made a sound of splashing water.
When the small boat was about to approach the fleet of the Thousand Islands, it was discovered by the soldier standing guard at the bow, and then the horn was blown.
All the ships were alarmed, and footsteps and shouts were heard on the ships.
Then a huge fishing net fell from the sky, covering the boat where the third princess and Chu Jian were.
In order to avoid hurting the third princess, Chu Jian quickly pulled the third princess into his arms and used his back to block the falling smelly fishing net.
When they were captured and put on the big ship, the soldiers of the Thousand Islands discovered that the person they had captured was actually the missing third princess!
They hurriedly removed the fishing nets and knelt on one knee to beg for forgiveness from Her Royal Highness the Third Princess.
If it were in the past, Yi Mei would definitely be so angry that she would throw all these blind guys into the sea!
But now she has more important things to do and has no time to waste with these guys.
She opened her mouth and asked, "Who told you to attack Dasheng?"
The tall and strong general stepped forward and answered respectfully.
"To answer your Highness, it was the order from the Imperial Master."
Yi Mei frowned: "Why would the Imperial Master interfere in military affairs?"
Although the national teacher has a high prestige in the Thousand Islands, he rarely interferes in political affairs, especially military affairs, which he almost never asks about.
The general told him everything.
"When the Emperor learned that the Third Princess and the Little Prince were murdered in Shengjing City, he could not bear the shock and fell ill.
Now all the affairs of the court are managed by the Grand Master.
The Imperial Master said that the murder of the Third Princess and the Little Prince was closely related to the Emperor of Dasheng, so he sent troops to Dasheng to force the Emperor of Dasheng to give an explanation.
…
Good morning everyone!
Please give me a monthly ticket!
