Chapter 392 Blocked

"Quick, bring it here for me to see!" Emperor Mingxi was impatient.

A piece of drawing paper one foot square was unfolded, and a thin middle-aged woman appeared in front of him.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, with delicate features and a charming look. She was wearing a robe covered with runes and a unique crown on her head.

The overall look was weird, and the more you looked at it, the more creepy it became.

The crown prince and the second prince stood on both sides of Emperor Mingxi, looking at the portrait intently.

"Father, is the Dai Viet priestess the Su Lian of that year?" The second prince saw that Emperor Mingxi had not spoken for a long time, so he asked directly in a hurry.

Emperor Mingxi's lips moved, as if he was trying hard to suppress his excitement.

"It's her, that's her! That's right!" Emperor Mingxi said this as if speaking from between his teeth.

"Although more than ten years have passed and she has grown old, I will never forget her charming eyes."

"Yes, that's her!"

Emperor Mingxi's hands trembled slightly due to excessive excitement. The crown prince supported Emperor Mingxi with concern, and the second prince took the portrait from him with a tactful look.

Emperor Mingxi staggered, but suddenly pushed the prince away with great force, refusing to be supported. He staggered to the window, staring at the blue sky, and shouted: "Brother! You were killed by someone!"

"I'm sorry for you. I was confused for more than ten years and only now realized your injustice!"

Emperor Mingxi's move shocked the prince, the second prince, and Debao in the room.

Emperor Mingxi had a gentle personality and rarely lost his composure like this.

"Your Majesty, take care of your body!" Debao couldn't help but persuade him in a gentle voice.

The prince and the second prince also looked at him with concern.

Two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes, and he said in a firm tone: "Brother, don't worry! I won't let the person who hurt you go unpunished!"

Seeing Emperor Mingxi like this, no one dared to persuade him anymore.

After a long time, Emperor Mingxi calmed down.

"Father, what are you going to do?" The prince asked directly.

Under the current circumstances, how to deal with the envoys of Dai Viet is actually a very tricky matter.

First, the Dai Viet envoy's use of insects to murder the second prince was only Chunyu Yilan's one-sided statement. Daxia did not get any real evidence. Second

, the envoys of Dai Viet represented the entire Dai Viet, not individuals. How Daxia treated the envoys of Dai Viet was a major issue involving the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If one was not handled well, it might lead to a war between the two countries.

Before Emperor Minh Xi could speak, the second prince said angrily: "In my opinion, we should just kill the entire Dai Viet delegation, and then assemble the army and march towards Dai Viet!"

"Now that the battle in the Northern Frontier has just ended, the morale of the army is high, and the people are full of confidence in Daxia. It is a good time to send troops to conquer Dai Viet in one go."

Emperor Minh Xi waved his hand: "You, you have been trained in the Northern Frontier for three years, why are you still so reckless?"

"Sending troops to Dai Viet, although we may be brave for a while, what about the follow-up problems?"

The second prince scratched his head awkwardly and lowered his head.

Emperor Minh Xi continued, "Although Dai Viet is now ruled by a young emperor, its national strength is still strong."

"Let's not talk about whether our treasury has enough money. It is really difficult for us to attack Dai Viet. Even if we win, we will lose 800 of our own for every 1,000 casualties." "

Moreover, after the war, the people of both countries will surely fall into dire straits."

The crown prince said with a stern face, "By then, even if Da Xia wins, we will inevitably have a reputation for war and will probably lose the support of the people!"

The second prince muttered, "What should we do? Should we just pretend that nothing happened and release the Dai Viet envoy?"

"That would be too cowardly. It would show that we in Great Xia are timid."

The Crown Prince patted the Second Prince on the shoulder, "Chengnian, don't worry. Father must have already made up his mind."

Emperor Mingxi cleared his throat and said, "This time, we can neither rush into a war nor show the power of Great Xia. We can't let Great Viet look down on us!"

Then, Emperor Mingxi called his two sons to him and whispered something.

...

In the evening, the guest house.

Three carriages carrying goods stopped outside the guest house, and the Great Xia guards at the gate stopped the carriages.

"What's on the carriages?" the guard asked coldly.

The driver jumped down swiftly and said with a smile: "Sir, these are the goods of the Dai Viet official named Han. We are here to deliver the goods."

"Please let us deliver the goods in!"

The guards still looked cold, "The reception hall is an important place of the court. How can you just enter it?"

At this time, an old but magnetic male voice sounded: "These goods belong to me."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a vigorous old man in Dai Viet official uniform, who was Prime Minister Han Lie.

"So they are the goods of Lord Han!" The guards bowed to Han Lie and immediately changed their faces to a gentle expression.

"My dear guard, our Dai Viet delegation is about to return. I want to bring some gifts back to my family and friends, so I bought some specialties from the noble country."

"These three carts were all bought by me. Just let them in!"

Han Lie took out a silver coin from his arms and stuffed it into the guard's hand.

The guard smiled brightly: "So that's how it is! It was a misunderstanding."

Then, the guard let them go.

Several drivers, along with several Dai Viet followers, unloaded the goods from the carts and moved them one box at a time to the small courtyard where Han Lie lived.

By the time all the goods in the three carts were unloaded, it was already dark.

Han Lie sent the movers away and closed the gate.

After waiting for a while, and seeing that no one was watching, he quietly opened three of the large boxes.

Three people, rubbing their arms, walked out of the wooden boxes.

The three people were Liang Chaozong, Yao Jinse, and Empress Dowager Jiang, who had been hiding for many days.

"Quick! This way!" Han Lie grabbed Jiang's arm and walked into the house, followed closely by Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse.

After closing the door, Han Lie whispered, "You can stay here for now. I estimate that the delegation will set off for home in two or three days."

"When the time comes, I will dress you up as the delegation's entourage, blend in with the delegation, and leave Daxia."

Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse exchanged glances, with a hint of joy in their eyes.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was relieved a lot.

"It all depends on Daddy to get out of Daxia safely." Yao Jinse pulled Han Lie's sleeve like a spoiled child.

Han Lie looked at his daughter lovingly, then looked at Jiang affectionately, and said softly: "I have no regrets in my life that my family can be reunited."

"When we arrive safely in Dai Viet, I will definitely compensate you and your daughter a hundredfold and a thousandfold."

...

At the time of lighting, in the study.

A secret guard stood in front of Emperor Mingxi's desk and reported: "Your Majesty, Liang Chaozong and the other two have been hidden in the guest reception hall by Han Lie."

Emperor Mingxi smiled meaningfully: "Okay! Immediately block the guest reception hall!"
