Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows. Oh my, not bad, you actually know how to use provocation? Unfortunately, it's useless!

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll count to ten. If no one stands up, I'll choose someone for you." After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he began to count loudly; "One, two."

The speaking speed was not fast, but after all, there were only ten numbers. When he was about to count to nine, several guards from the other side stepped forward in unison.

They had no intention of resisting and it seemed that they were planning to let Lin Chuan take them away.

Now that I have been caught, and since I cannot rescue the young masters, I can only use my life to do what I can for them.

"Don't be anxious. This time we are not just selecting princes and princesses. We also need a few guards, but not so many. Two or three will be enough." Lin Chuan's attitude towards these guards was not bad.

"How many people are needed?" Just when Lin Chuan wanted to continue counting the last two numbers, Xun Ying asked.

It's not that he was weak and incompetent and compromised so quickly, it's that he just calmed himself down and analyzed the situation.

Since the other party wants to do this, it may not be easy to change.

In this case, it is better to cooperate, because after all, I am the one who has been captured and I have no bargaining chips.

It is definitely useless to use suicide or self-mutilation. Although Xun Ying has not tried it yet, he knows it very well.

How could the people of Yan State care about their lives?

Moreover, this time there are more than twenty princes, princesses and grandchildren. Even if a few of them die, it will not affect what the other party wants to do at all.

Seeing Xun Ying asking and intending to cooperate, this would naturally be the best. Lin Chuan did not ridicule him; "Five or six will be enough." So he did not continue counting.

"Brother Jiu, let me go. You stay here. They need you." Xun Fei also stepped forward.

The tone was very affirmative and the eyes were very firm.

She and Xun Ying are the oldest among their group. Since the other party said that only five or six people are needed, it would be most appropriate for Xun Ying to stay with the majority.

Moreover, Xun Fei also realized that Brother Jiu planned to go alone.

After hearing this, Xun Ying opened her mouth to refuse, wanting to say that she would go and let her stay here, but she thought

"Well, who among you would like to go with my sister?" Xun Ying looked at his younger brothers and sisters and asked.

"I will go with my sister." Xun Qing, who was standing next to Xun Fei, responded in a childish voice.

Xun Qing is only six years old this year, and the reason why he took the initiative to speak was that he didn't think too much about it.

When he was sick, it was this imperial sister who took the risk of bringing him to the city to find a solution.

He was arrested again with the imperial sister. The imperial sister asked the first-rank lady to treat him, and the medicine prescribed for him was also fed to him by the imperial sister.

During the few days they were alone together, Xun Qing liked to stick to his imperial sister more than before, so whenever she went, he would follow.

When Xun Fei heard what the nineteenth brother said, he wanted to say no, but when he looked at the other imperial brothers, sisters, and nephews beside him, the oldest of them was only a few years older than the nineteenth brother, and some were younger than him.

If she didn't agree to let Wen Qing go, why not choose someone else? But she didn't know whether this trip would be a blessing or a curse, and it would be difficult for her to choose the right person.

If possible, she would rather go alone.

"I'll go with my sister, too."

"I am coming too"

"And me." Seeing that Xun Qing was going by himself, the others who were older than Xun Qing also started to open up.

Xun Qing is only six years old. I am older than him, so how can I be more timid and afraid of death than him?

Looking at the little princes and princesses of Xixiang, who were obviously very nervous and afraid, but still vying to go, Lin Chuan admired them in his heart.

Lin Chuan said five or six would be enough, so Xun Fei only chose the four closest to her, including herself.

After the person was chosen, Lin Chuan did not urge them to leave. He let Xun Ying come forward and whisper instructions to Xun Fei.

Among the guards, Lin Chuan randomly selected three.

Xun Fei and the others took their bags with them, exchanged glances with the people who stayed behind, made plans to say goodbye, and then followed them out of the official inn.

After the courtyard gate was closed, someone who was left behind started crying, very quietly. Xun Ying neither scolded him nor went forward to comfort him.

He remembered that his father and mother had said that being born in a royal family was something that many people envied. However, being born in a royal family meant that they had no right to choose many things and had to face many unpleasant things.

They can wear clothes made of the finest fabrics, eat food made from the rarest and most expensive ingredients, and be carefully served by palace maids and eunuchs.

However, this does not mean that being born into a royal family will ensure a peaceful life. Once changes occur, what one has to endure will be the most cruel.

Outside, Xun Fei and the others were urged to board two shabby horse-drawn carriages that were better than prison carriages.

Around the carriage, dozens of Yan troops were escorting it away.

"Who are these people? What crime have they committed?" There were passers-by watching the excitement not far away, and some of them asked curiously.

"Keep your voice down. I heard they are the children of Emperor Xixiang. It seems they are being escorted to the capital." Someone whispered.

"You are the only one who is well-informed. We haven't even heard about it. How do you know?" Someone nearby was unconvinced and ridiculed.

"When the Duke Dingguo's men went out to buy food, they secretly went to a restaurant to drink. I heard it nearby, I heard it clearly, how could it be false?" the first one said with certainty.

When the two people were arguing, the passerby who was curious and asked questions first slowly turned around and left.

After that person left, the two people who had been arguing quarreled for a few more words, then smiled at each other and dispersed.

Inside the official inn, Mu Yingbao was absent-mindedly looking at the Nanzhu embroidery, and whenever she heard any movement outside, she would look towards the door.

"Xue Wenyu, has everything been arranged perfectly? Make sure there aren't any mistakes." Mu Yingbao turned around and asked the person who was reading behind the desk as he waited anxiously.

Xue Wenyu raised her head and smiled at her; "Are you still not confident in your husband's ability to do things?"

Mu Yingbao stood up and walked towards him; "It's not that I'm worried, but after all, there are still five children."

Xue Wenyu stretched out his hand and hugged the man in his arms; "Don't worry, besides, those eight people are just here to go through the motions, there will be no danger."

Nanzhu turned her head inadvertently and accidentally saw the scene behind the desk. She shook her head speechlessly, stood up, picked up the work in her hands, and walked out.

At noon, Mu Yingbao said that he was no longer worried, but he was still unsure and had no appetite.

The day before, she learned that Wu Yu Country had sent assassins to kill her. Mu Yingbao felt that if she didn't do something to accompany him, she would feel uncomfortable. She had heard Xue Wenyu and his men talk about the problem of the children of Emperor Xixiang.

If Yu State got the news, they would do something bad secretly and let Yan State take the blame. In addition, Xue Wenyu's men said they were bored.

So, Mu Yingbao discussed with Xue Wenyu that, in this case, they might as well set up a trap, which would not only teach the Wu Yu Kingdom a lesson, but also give everyone something to do. Even if it was just for entertainment, it would be very meaningful.

Unexpectedly, Xue Wenyu agreed as soon as she said it.

He deliberately let the word spread that some of Emperor Xixiang's princes and princesses would be escorted to the capital.

This would lead to the discovery of the spies from the Wu Yu Kingdom, which would not only give my wife a sense of relief, but also

If Diaoyu State got the news, they would do something bad and let Yan State take the blame. In addition, Xue Wenyu's men said they were bored.

This would lure out the spies from the Wu Yu Kingdom lurking here, giving my wife a sense of relief while also providing an opportunity to eliminate these hidden dangers.

"Don't worry, the other party won't take action so quickly." Xue Wenyu looked at his wife anxiously, feeling very anxious.
