They are all in the same boat, and he hopes his accomplices will have no worries.
Lin Shuyan spoke up to smooth things over, "My cousin must have his reasons for doing this."
"Those involved are confused, but those who are watching can see clearly." Chu De said sternly, "Chen Jie, I remind you that it's easy to decide whether to kill other people, but you should be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot when it comes to Song Xingkai."
"You know better than me how much my sister-in-law cares about him. Would she be willing to let Song go to such a cold and bitter place? I'll have to ask for help from her in the future. I'll give you endless old vinegar to drink."
He knocked on the wall a few times, "What I fear most is that women feel distressed. How many married women run away from their lovers at night? If you don't stop her from thinking about him and kill Song Xingkai, she might come back to life one day and do something. It's a small matter to be embarrassed, but having a cheating spouse on your head will be enough to make you feel uncomfortable."
Shen Jie swallowed and said, "I believe Yaoyao."
He had no idea. Du Yaoyao promised that she would not see Song Xingkai again, and he chose to believe her for once.
She has been really well behaved recently, and Shen Jie is afraid of quarreling with her and breaking the long-lost sweetness.
The main reason is that Du Yaoyao said that if Song Xingkai and the Song family died, she would die with them. Although it was just angry words during the argument, Chen Jie was afraid that she would not be able to get over it and do something stupid.
Keep the person first, and then slowly win his heart back.
Chen Jie comforted himself in this way.
Chu De saw the turbulent light in Chen Jie's eyes and raised his cup to show his respect, "Brother Chen, that's all I have to say. You should take care of yourself."
Then several people talked about the King of Wuhuan wanting to marry his princess to Da Chu.
"I heard that she is the twelfth daughter of King Wuhuan, Princess Seya, a petite and delicate black beauty, who is a perfect match for the prince!" Chu De clapped his hands and laughed.
"Immoral." Shen Jie spat. Everyone knew that the prince liked tall girls with fair skin.
Lin Shuyan added, "The prince intends to send envoys to Wuhuan to deliver documents and betrothal gifts. He will also discuss the trade between the two neighboring areas."
Wuhuan was located in the northwest, bordering Da Chu. The local area was rich in grass and water, and produced an abundance of cattle, sheep and horses. The Wuhuan people loved the silks, satins, spices, and cosmetics of the Great Chu, and often had private transactions with the Chu people at the border. However, there was no government to properly govern the area, and disputes, fights and disturbances continued.
This matter not only concerns the marriage, but also the future business exchanges between the two countries.
"Not only that, that old villain Ruan Hu has been slow to give any news to the court in Jiannan. He only said that he wanted to hand over military affairs, and we need an envoy to go to the Wuhuan border to test their attitude." Chu Dedao. There are three towns where Da Chu and Wuhuan meet, and Jiannan is one of them.
Lin Shuyan looked at Chen Jie hesitantly, and glanced at him with interest.
"Why are you looking at me?" Shen Jie spread his hands helplessly.
"Who else but Brother Chen could shoulder such a heavy responsibility?" Chu De smiled mysteriously. "Do you know who the queen of Wuhuan is?"
The King of Wuhuan was over sixty years old and had married several queens in succession, but Chen Jie was not quite sure about this.
Lin Shuyan shook his head.
"It's Princess Hong'e of Nanzhao," Chu De blinked, "the one who shamelessly pursued Brother Chen."
“Ahem—” Shen Jie choked on a mouthful of wine. There was civil unrest in Nanzhao. I heard that a princess was marrying Wuhuan to seek an alliance, but I didn't expect it to be Hong'e.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Chu De gloated and teased, "If Brother Chen goes to Wuhuan as an envoy, you can just flirt with the queen. Once Hong'e is happy, you can coax the old king. You don't need to negotiate the trade, the queen will make the decision directly for you!"
Chen Jie held his forehead with cold sweat, "I am not interested in selling my body." He said righteously, "I am a married man."
"The Queen doesn't mind that you have a family." Chu De raised his chin and looked at Shen Ji's cold and handsome appearance.
"Alas, the old king has gray hair and chicken skin, and he can be Hong'e's grandfather, but he can't compare to Lord Shen who is young, handsome, and elegant!"
"I bet Hong'e is definitely still interested in you!"
