The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 393 Confrontation (Part )

Jiang Li asked the dragon egg to return to the Dragon Palace in Poyang Lake first. After all, it was still an egg and needed to be hatched. It could not leave the dragon for too long.

The dragon egg was reluctant to leave: "Next time I will come and play with the two little ones!"

"Okay, I'm sure I like you a lot, too."

After sending the dragon egg away, Jiang Li held a child in each hand, and with a thought, she returned to the shore in an instant.

After carrying the sleeping twins back to the main courtyard, Jiang Li asked Fei'er and Cui'er to look after them while he went to look for Xie Chang'an.

The secret guards were catching the assassins everywhere, the guests must have been scared to death, and they had to clean up the mess.

East Factory.

Liao Wuyong did not bother to be polite with Prince Rui and directly took the two men back to the East Factory for interrogation.

After the imperial physician examined them, Liao Wuyong untied their acupuncture points.

Prince Rui slowly woke up. When he saw Liao Wuyong, he was startled at first, and then he remembered the fragment before he fainted:

Everyone at the banquet was drowsy under the shaman's drumbeats. Princess Jing'an suddenly stood up and crushed a teacup with a "crack". She exchanged a glance with Duke Dingguo, who immediately ran away. At the same time, Princess Jing'an threw the fragments in her hand at herself...

His heart sank. Could it be that the plan had failed?

It turned out that Prince Rui's original plan was to kidnap the twins and use them to threaten Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo.

He originally wanted to have the assassin sneak into the Duke's Mansion during the birthday banquet of Prince Jing'an when there were many people around, and steal the twins.

Later, I heard that there was a formation in the main courtyard, so I temporarily changed my plan.

He asked the shaman to use the excuse of celebrating Prince Jing'an's birthday as an excuse to hypnotize the emperor, Prince Jing'an, Duke Dingguo and others, including the secret guards lurking in the dark, and then let the killer kidnap the twins without anyone noticing.

With this pair of treasures in hand, Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo will certainly be cautious and let him do whatever he wants with them!

It seems that something went wrong somewhere and all the efforts were in vain!

Prince Rui decided to take the initiative. He was furious and said, "Why did Prince Jing'an attack me for no reason? I must ask for an explanation!"

Liao Wuyong snorted coldly: "Please explain to me, Prince Rui, why you asked the shaman to perform the hypnotic technique? You are trying to hold the eldest prince, Princess Anle, and the prince of Jing'an hostage. What crime should you be charged with?"

Prince Rui was stunned. "Why did Lord Liao say that? The shaman was dancing a prayer dance to celebrate the birthday of Prince Jing'an. How could it be hypnotic? Not to mention holding the eldest prince, the young princess, and the young prince hostage. When did I ever do that? Don't spit blood at me!"

Liao Wuyong's eyes were grim, and he smiled coldly: "Prince Rui can deny it, but I, the Great Chu, will seek justice from the Jurchens."

Prince Rui pretended to be angry and said, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Don't you, the Great Chu, claim to be righteous and moral? In order to obtain the sacred mountain of the Jurchens, you even resorted to such despicable means as framing others!"

Liao Wuyong said calmly: "In this case, please ask Prince Rui to stay as a guest in the East Factory for the time being, and wait until Da Chu and the Jurchens have negotiated before we talk."

Naturally, the shaman refused to admit it and only said that it was a prayer, nothing else.

As for why everyone was drowsy, he argued that it was a sign that the gods were about to descend, but was interrupted by Prince Jing'an!

"Disrespecting the gods will bring punishment from heaven!" the shaman screamed.

Liao Wuyong glanced at him coldly and ordered the factory guards to detain him first.

The secret guard also sent over Xie Changan's investigation results.

Those maids were hired temporarily by the post station. With so many people from the Jurchen and Mongolian delegations coming at once, the post station was short-staffed, so they temporarily hired a group of maids to do menial tasks. Unexpectedly, killers sneaked in.

These killers were not from the Central Plains, but were actually Japanese warriors. They were short in stature, so they often disguised themselves as women, sneaked into wealthy families, and carried out assassinations and poisonings.

Although they followed Prince Rui's carriage into the palace, they were hired by the post house, so Prince Rui could distance himself from the matter.

Nangong Qinghe was helpless against him for a moment.

Of course, the officials of the Honglu Temple were severely reprimanded. His Majesty believed that they were incompetent and just occupied their positions. From Princess Ruili to Prince Rui, each of them has caused such a big mess, and you only realize it so late?

Hiring a maid, but couldn't even tell the difference between a man and a woman!

Even the killers have sneaked in, what use are you guys?

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was also dismissed and investigated.

Jiang Li said, "Whether they admit it or not, this matter is Prince Rui's fault! He called the shaman and brought the assassins here, so he is not unrelated to this matter!"

If the Jurchens do not give satisfactory compensation, Prince Rui can forget about going back!

Nangong Qinghe deeply agreed with this.

Anyway, the Great Chu is not afraid of going to war, and is just worried that it has no reason to go to war with the Jurchens.

The next day, Cui Jue, on the order of the emperor, sent a letter to the Jurchen delegation, denouncing Prince Rui for attempting to use witchcraft on the Emperor of Great Chu and for wanting to capture the eldest prince, Princess Anle, and the son of Prince Jing'an, in an attempt to force Great Chu to sign an unequal treaty.

The Great Chu was bent on making friends with its neighboring countries, but the Jurchens had ulterior motives and took the opportunity to murder the emperor and the eldest prince!

If the Jurchens do not give an explanation, Prince Rui will never be able to return to his country, and the Great Chu will also march north to avenge this!

The Jurchen envoys could never have imagined that the Great Chu would take such a tough stance. They also secretly blamed Prince Rui for acting too extreme. Knowing that Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo were two evil spirits, why did he have to provoke them?

The letter was quickly sent back to the Jurchens.

The Jurchen emperor was also a teenager, and Empress Dowager Xiao was in charge of the government from behind the scenes and held real power.

Empress Dowager Xiao also had an affair with Prince Rui. When she heard that Da Chu had detained Prince Rui and demanded a huge compensation, she was horrified.

She quickly summoned all the ministers and asked them to find a way to rescue Prince Rui.

An old official beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Didn't Prince Rui go to negotiate peace? How dare he be so audacious as to perform witchcraft on the Emperor of Great Chu! He even wanted to kidnap the children of Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo! Isn't this putting our Jurchens to death?"

Another official also said: "Duke Dingguo conquered Southern Xinjiang in just six months. If we go to war with the Great Chu, we Jurchens will definitely be defeated!"

"Yes, yes, why is Prince Rui so confused!"

Empress Dowager Xiao said angrily, "The Great Chu wants to exchange our sacred mountain for that useless thing called Zhushu! Do you think you will give it to us?"

"We want the sacred mountain today, but who knows, we might want the capital of the Jurchen Kingdom tomorrow!"

The ministers were speechless for a moment.

Finally, the Jurchens sent another delegation, headed by the right prime minister Yelu Qi, to negotiate with the Chu State.

When Battelle heard about this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

The Jurchens had never suffered from the queen, yet they dared to pull the tiger's teeth out of its mouth!

Why would you pick on those two evil stars when you could pick on anyone else?

The twins are the apple of her eye, the treasure in her hand. Yet, she actually wanted to harm other people's children. I'm afraid that princess even wants to eat Prince Rui's heart!

He hurriedly reported the matter to his father Khan, and urged his father to ask the fourth brother to come over. Now, when those two evil stars looked at him, he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats!
