The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 790 Asking for Reward

This day, after noon.

The Danyan Kingdom's delegation, led by Crown Prince Tuoba Di, hurriedly left the capital of Western Chu and set out on the journey back to Danyan Kingdom.

Also in the team was the fourth princess Tuoba Zhu, who was originally planned to marry into the Western Chu Kingdom.

Because of the pain in her body, she could not find the cause, so she had to return to Danyan for treatment. In addition, because of the incident with Pei Er, Crown Prince Tuoba Di had no intention of staying in Western Chu, so he did not mention the marriage again, and the marriage between the two countries was left unresolved.

Not long after the team left Kyoto City, Tuoba Di, along with his military advisor Pi Yiyi, Tuo Hu, several personal guards and a group of secret guards, rode away from the team on horseback.

On the official road, Tuoba Di rode his horse at full speed with a gloomy face, and military advisor Pi Yi, who also had an ugly face, followed closely behind him.

Following behind the two of them were Tuo Hu's four personal bodyguards, all of whom were very skilled, and there were also more than a dozen secret guards accompanying them in secret.

The military advisor following behind Tuoba Di said to Tuoba Di: "Your Highness, at our current speed, we should be able to reach Laiyang City in two days and two nights."

"Well, we have to go faster. If we delay in Laiyang City for one day, we must get back to Danyan Kingdom in four days and four nights." Tuoba Di said with a frown.

In fact, there was another reason why he was in a hurry to return to Danyan Kingdom, which even the military advisor didn't know. He had someone put a poisonous insect in Pei Er's body. As long as the poisonous insect was still in Pei Er's body, he could find Pei Er based on the poisonous insect.

But the person who gave Pei Er the poison was still in Danyan Country, so he had to go and see that person as soon as possible. He was also glad that the poison was not given by Man Chuchu.

On the official road, there was no more talking at this time, only the sound of horse hooves and the whistling wind.

Imperial Palace

At the same time, in the imperial study of the Western Chu Palace, Emperor Chu Xiong was discussing matters concerning Danyan Kingdom and Laiyang City with several ministers.

Among these people were the Right Prime Minister Hong Zhuoqi, the Minister of War, and Generals Ouyang Xiao, Ning Zhenwu, and Suhoning.

At this time, the crown princes Chu Chenxiao and Chu Chenjing walked in. They both saluted the emperor at the same time and said in unison: "Father."

When the emperor saw them, he smiled and said to his two sons, "Has Tuoba Di and his envoys left the capital?"

"Yes, father, your Majesty, your son and my third brother have sent them out of the city." Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao reported.

Upon hearing the news that the Danyan delegation had left, the ministers and generals began to discuss the matter.

"They are such a small country, yet they want to take over our Western Chu State." said a minister.

"It seems that the rumors that came out of Kyoto yesterday have made them anxious." Another minister echoed.

Upon hearing this, the emperor said happily: "It's good that they are gone! Too many things have happened in our Western Chu this year. Fortunately, everything has calmed down. Everyone can have a good New Year!"

"Your Majesty, you are absolutely right! Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in good health, Nanchu and Beiyue have also ceased hostilities with us, and the pirates in the East China Sea have been annihilated.

Your Majesty, we can really celebrate now." Ouyang Xiao looked at the emperor and said excitedly.

"General Ouyang, you are right. We can celebrate the New Year properly! I will give you a few more days off this year." The emperor said happily.

Then, the emperor asked, "Xiao'er, Jing'er, I heard that the news that came out of Ganlu Temple spread quickly throughout the city. Was it Princess Jing's idea?"

"Yes, father, it was my third brother's wife who came up with the idea. When the rumor reached the post station, Tuoba Di became suspicious, so he left in a hurry." Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao replied.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "If they want to return to Danyan before the New Year, it seems they must travel overnight."

"Although the official road from Kyoto to Danyan Kingdom is easy to travel, if we want to reach Danyan Kingdom within these few days, we will probably still have to ride horses day and night to get there." Ning Zhenwu analyzed.

Chu Chenxiao continued, "Father, I think that Crown Prince Tuoba Di is a scheming man, and he is likely to leave separately from the delegation."

The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "He came to our Western Chu this time for the gold. Now that the gold is gone, will he still go to Laiyang City?"

Right Prime Minister Hong Zhuoqi pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, he will definitely go to Laiyang City.

He did not suspect that it was our Western Chu State that captured their people, but instead thought that his men had betrayed him.

Therefore, he will definitely go to Laiyang City to find out the truth."

"Your Majesty, I think so too. Princess Jing's move is truly brilliant." General Su nodded in agreement.

Chu Chenxiao groaned for a moment and said, "Father, I have sent someone to secretly monitor Tuoba Di.

If they rode around Laiyang City on horseback, it would only take one more day.

According to my judgment, Tuoba Di will definitely take a detour to Laiyang City."

"Father, my elder brother is right. This time Tuoba Di's gold is gone, and I am so angry that I am about to vomit blood.

And his people are missing, so he may not completely believe Pei Er's betrayal. So, he will definitely go to Laiyang City to investigate. "Chu Chenjing added.

The emperor nodded slightly: "Well, your analysis makes sense."

Chu Chenxiao said again: "Father, since we have determined that Tuoba Di will go to Laiyang City, should we inform Lord Su about this matter?"

"Xiao'er, send someone to inform Su Hong immediately." The emperor ordered.

"Yes, father." Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao responded.

Hong Zhuoqi asked again: "Your Majesty, you just said that Laiyang City has a big problem. Could it be that even the city lord is involved?"

"According to the memorial just submitted by Lord Su, the mayor of Laiyang City seems to be under control." The emperor said angrily.

He casually unfolded a memorial on the table, handed it to Eunuch Hong beside him, and asked him to read it.

Only after Eunuch Hong finished reading the memorial aloud did everyone realize the seriousness of the situation in Laiyang City.

"Father, judging from the memorial sent by Lord Su, the problem in Laiyang City is indeed difficult. Do you want me to go there in person?" Chu Chenxiao asked.

The emperor frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let Lord Su and his men continue to investigate in secret, and don't alert the enemy.

Xiao'er, send some people over there to secretly support Lord Su. We can solve the problem of Laiyang City after the New Year."

"Yes, father." Chu Chenxiao accepted the order.

"Well, my dear ministers, prepare to welcome the New Year during these days. I will also reward Princess Jing at this year's palace banquet." The emperor said with a smile.

"Then I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of Yaoyao." Chu Chenjing said happily.

"General Ouyang, you have given birth to a good daughter!" the emperor sighed.

They in Western Chu State have benefited greatly from Ouyang Yunyao this year.

"Your Majesty, I finally became your daughter-in-law. You should also reward me!" Ouyang Xiao responded with a smile.

“Hahahaha…hahaha…” The emperor laughed happily.

Chu Chenjing took advantage of his father's happiness and stepped forward and said, "Father, I also want a reward."

"Oh, what reward do you want?" The emperor was stunned and very confused. His son had never asked for a reward.
