Chu Ruofeng smiled.

"He is a relative's child, come to see me.

I have called you here to tell you that our people in Beiyue have returned with news.

It is said that the harvest in Beiyue this year is poor and there will probably be a famine after winter.

Emperor Beiyue is trying desperately to find a way to buy some food from neighboring countries."

The generals heard this and started talking happily.

"This is a good thing. When Beiyue encounters difficulties, it will not have the energy to cause trouble, and the border will be peaceful for a while."

"Yes, even though we are soldiers, it is better not to fight if we can."

"If the border is peaceful, we can apply to go home to visit our families..."

While eating, Nangong Jiu paid attention to everyone's expressions, listening to what they said and what they were thinking.

Soon, among the many voices, a discordant voice could be distinguished.

[How could they possibly be alive to send a message back? Did our operation fail? Or was there something wrong with the letter we sent out?]

Nangong Jiu looked at each person one by one, comparing the voice he heard with everyone's voice.

[No, I have to contact our people later to ask what's going on.]

Finally locked on to the target.

Oh, I couldn’t tell, he looks so honest and loyal.

Nangong Jiu stood up and climbed into Chu Ruofeng's arms: [Uncle, I found him. He's the one sitting in the middle and looks very honest.]

[Please guide him to say a few words and I will confirm it again.]

Chu Ruofeng smiled and waved at everyone: "You are right, this is a great thing.

We are not afraid of war, but we also hope that there will be no war forever.

Xiao Yaozu, you haven't been home to visit your family for a few years. Please prepare. If the two countries really negotiate, I will allow you two months of leave to go home and reunite with your family."

Xiao Yaozu, who was called, stood up and saluted.

"Thank you, General. I haven't been back to my hometown to see my family for several years. I really want to go home and visit them."

[Uncle, it's him, he will send the letter out later, you can catch him in the act.]

Chu Ruofeng pinched Nangong Jiu's little face.

After all the generals left, Nangong Jiu stood up and said goodbye.

[Uncle, do you have any personal belongings used by those spies? Give me one or two, and we will go to Beiyue to look for them and see what they are like.]

Chu Ruofeng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, before they leave, they will leave important things with me."

As he spoke, he called over a secret guard and gave him a few instructions.

Soon, the secret guard brought a very ordinary, badly worn jade pendant.

"This is Jiang Yuan's jade pendant, passed down to him by his mother. Although it is not expensive, he treasures it very much."

Nangong Jiu took it and put it in his small pocket.

[Uncle, I'm leaving, take care! ]

"Okay, Xiao Jiuer, take care of yourself when you are away from home and contact your mother more often."

[You know, I contact my mother every two days.]

"That's good!"

Nangong Jiu waved to Chu Ruofeng and disappeared with everyone else.

Beiyue Capital.

A group of people appeared in Beiyue Capital. After walking around the streets and getting to know the place, Nangong Jiu nodded.

“The people of Beiyue live a little better than the people of Nanjin.

The emperor was diligent and caring about his people. When he heard that Beiyue had a poor harvest this year, he decided not to rob him.

Let's go find Jiang Yuan and the others and see what happened."

As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant and tapped it.

The jade pendant flew straight to one place.

The group hid their tracks and quickly followed the jade pendant, eventually arriving at a prison.

Wuwang looked around and said, "Master, this seems to be the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

"They really are in trouble. Let's go in and take a look first."

The jade pendant stopped in a cell.

When the group looked inside, they saw five men covered in wounds.

Nangong Jiu took the jade pendant, pointed it at his throat, walked up to the few people and asked softly.

"Who among you is Jiang Yuan?"

A man lying on the weeds suddenly opened his eyes.

"I'm Jiang Yuan, who are you?"

"We are the gods accompanying Princess Dingguo. Don't move or make any noise. We are entrusted by General Chu to come and rescue you."

Several men almost cried for joy and nodded slightly.

"There are spies around the general. We were caught in a strange way and tortured many times to extract a confession. Because we refused to give in, we will be executed tomorrow."

Nangong Jiu looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "You have risked your life for Dong Ling. We will rescue you."

After saying that, he stood up and told Xiao Wang and others about the situation.

Wuwang looked at Jiang Yuan and the others worriedly.

"Master, they look badly injured. Given their current condition, even if we get them out of prison, they won't be able to escape the pursuit of the Beiyue people."

"In that case, let's find a way to send them back. Anyway, there's no rush for us to travel now."

“The question is how to deliver it?”

"With my current cultivation level, I can't send them back safely. I have to think of a way."

Little Wang Xiaoxing volunteered.

"Your Majesty, it will only take a moment for the two of us to send them back."

"Oh, that's right. I can't do that, but you two can! Wait a minute, heal their wounds first."

Nangong Jiu touched Jiang Yuan and the others, and they immediately felt their injuries were much better.

"Jiang Yuan, wait a minute. Sit on the dog and the broom, close your eyes and don't move. We will be back to our barracks in a while."

Jiang Yuan and his companions seemed to be dreaming, and they foolishly asked, "Can we really go back?"

"Don't worry, it only takes a moment."

Several people stood up in disbelief and were about to kneel down.

At this time, several jailers came to the prison door, unlocked it, entered the cell, and brought the last meal.

"Eat, I'll send you off in an hour."

Jiang Yuan sneered: "Isn't it tomorrow at noon? Are you so impatient to see us die?"

"This is what the higher-ups mean. There is a road to heaven but you just don't want to take it. You can't blame us Beiyue. You'd better die sooner and reincarnate sooner."

"Humph, you guys are so calculating, and you still want to have friendly relations with Dongling? Dream on!"

The jailer raised the whip in his hand and said, "Just be tough. When a person dies, there is nothing left.

Besides, we are just jailers, our job is to serve you your last meal. You have no right to preach your big principles to us.

Even if we die, the ghosts of the dead should not come to find us."

After saying that, he snorted, locked the cell door and left.

Nangong Jiu ordered Xiao Wang Xiaoxing: "Hurry up, if you want to leave later, it will be much more troublesome."

Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing quickly appeared and grew larger, standing in front of Jiang Yuan and the others.

Nangong Jiu urged them, “Hurry, three people sit on the dog and two people sit on the broom.

Remember, close your eyes. Do not open them until you are told to, or you will fall to your death."

Jiang Yuan and his companions quickly agreed and sat down.

Xiaoxing looked at Master Nangong Jiu and his disciples.

"Your Majesty, what are you guys going to do?"
