Lu Chaofeng returned to the study with the letter in his hand and a serious expression on his face.

The rest followed closely behind.

"Sir, such a big thing happened at the border, why is there no news from the court?"

"I'm afraid someone has suppressed the news."

"Who could that be?" Ah Shun asked without thinking.

Qingshan glanced at him with disdain and blurted out, "Of course it's those who don't want to fight and would rather cede land in exchange for a brief period of peace! The first to bear the brunt is the King's uncle! Whenever the war is mentioned, he is the only one who either keeps silent or advocates marriage and ceding land. He is really spineless."

Lu Chaofeng picked up the pen and quickly wrote a three-page reply. Then he picked it up, shook it in the air a few times, folded it in half, put it in the envelope and sealed it.

"You must go there and personally hand it over to my father."

"Qingshan, I will deliver it within three days."

After he said that, he turned around and left.

Lu Chaofeng stopped him and said, "Wait a moment, take these with you, and also bring some nutritional supplements."

"Yes."

Lu Chaofeng stood up and opened the drawer of the side cabinet, and took out a number of porcelain bottles from it. The words "Specially made in Penglai Valley" were written on the bottles.

"Sir, these are all the medicines we have right now. Please give them all to the prince. If you get sick, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to bear it."

"It doesn't matter. I won't die anyway. Giving these things to father might be of great use. Go ahead."

"Prince, please keep one bottle."

"Send it!"

"Yes." Qingshan gritted his teeth and had to obey orders.

After he left, Ah Shun continued to ask, "Prince, these tribes gathered together to attack, it's obvious that they are organized. There is a severe drought in the north this year, and I'm afraid the food and fodder won't last long. Should we start collecting food and fodder?"

"Well, the uncle of the emperor is still controlling the Ministry of War. I'm afraid the court will continue to delay things like before!"

Lu Chaofeng punched the table, and the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table vibrated and made a slight moving sound.

"The Empress Dowager's faction is growing stronger and stronger, almost wielding total power. If this continues, Dayong will sooner or later be destroyed by the Xiao clan!"

"We can't wait for the imperial court for the grain issue. Take the money and go to Jiangnan. Collect as much grain as you can. We can talk about it after we get through this hurdle first."

"it is good."

“Medicine for injuries is also necessary!”

"My subordinates know."

Lu Chaofeng's emotions fluctuated greatly, and the poisonous gas that had just been suppressed by the hot spring began to run rampant in his body again.

He clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, coughed wildly a few times, and then spat out a mouthful of blood. Ah Shun was so scared that his face turned pale.

"Prince! Don't worry, we will definitely get things done, and the prince will be able to escape smoothly."

"Your health is very important."

Ah Shun stamped his feet and complained, "That damn Mi Feng, with his unique Qinggong skills, even if he was tied up, he should have found a chance to escape. What on earth is wrong with him? Why hasn't he come back yet?!"

At this time, Wu Ming walked in from outside and took over the conversation.

"I have already sent an order to the valley. As long as Junior Master Mifeng knows about it, he will definitely come back quickly."

"My Lord, Zhan Xiao just sent a visiting card. He wants to see you. Would you like to see him?"

"See."

"I want to see what Empress Dowager Xiao is planning to do!"

……

The north side of Yinmeng Mountain.

A little boy in green clothes was riding a donkey, heading south without stopping. Behind him was a middle-aged man with his hands tied, led by a rope.

"Where exactly are you taking me?"

"Take you to see the official!"

"My little ancestor Mifeng, please let me go. I will never dare to do it again."

"How dare you use the name of Penglai Valley to defraud people and even kidnap and sell women and children! I'm being merciful by not skinning you alive, but if you keep yelling, I'll cut off your tongue and use it as a drink!"

The boy in green looked no more than ten years old, but his eyes were mature, his words were sophisticated, and he exuded a sense of chivalry from head to toe.

"My ancestor, I really don't dare anymore!"

"Huh, you don't want your tongue anymore? Then I'll cut it off."

He drew the dagger from his waist, made a beautiful knife move in his palm, grabbed the donkey and was about to turn around.

The man behind him fell to his knees with a thud. He didn't dare to speak anymore and could only kowtow continuously.

"Don't worry! Once we get over the hill, we'll be there."

Mi Feng had already seen the signal sent by Wu Ming. If he hadn't found the thief's tracks on the road, he would never have delayed so long. He only followed the marks after catching the thief.

However, he felt that even if he didn't look for the mark, he would be able to find Lu Chaofeng. The news of Lu Chaofeng's ghost marriage spread like wildfire, and spread throughout the entire Yong Kingdom!

Even a man of the world like him sensed something unusual and guessed that someone was behind the scenes fanning the flames. Otherwise, how could what happened in the capital spread so far away in just a few days?

"Go faster!"

"Uh-huh..." The man was pulled by Mi Feng and almost fell to the ground. He could only nod hesitantly.

……

In another courtyard.

Zhan Xiao had just handed in the note when he arrived within less than an hour.

Lu Chaofeng went to the main hall to meet him.

"My Lord, you are really fast."

"I was thinking about my mother and wanted to share the joy of my marriage with her, so naturally I walked faster."

"I came here today because I have something to ask the prince."

"Commander Zhan, please feel free to speak. If I know anything, I will tell you everything I know."

"Is Sun Liangyuan at your house?"

"No."

"Prince, don't lie to me! Since I came to see you, I naturally know something." Zhan Xiao glared at him, and his tone sounded extremely unfriendly, as if he didn't take Lu Chaofeng seriously at all.

Lu Chaofeng stood up by holding onto the edge of the table, "Ahem... Commander Zhan, did you misunderstand?"

"Prince! I might as well tell you that this Sun Liangyuan is the person the Queen Mother wants to see. You'd better invite him out as soon as possible."

"The Grandfather once said that Mr. Sun is simple-minded and dislikes officialdom. No one is allowed to disturb him, and he acts according to his personal preferences. Why does the Queen Mother want to see Mr. Sun now?"

"Sir, there are some things you shouldn't ask. I think it's better for you to not ask too much, otherwise the Queen Mother will blame you..."

"Commander Zhan, you're too kind. Mr. Sun is indeed not at my house today. To be honest, I also sent him a visiting card when I first arrived in Luocheng, but unfortunately I didn't receive a reply, and I didn't even get to meet him. It's truly a pity."

Zhan Xiao couldn't find anyone and was at his wit's end, so he decided to break up with this sickly guy!

"Lu Chaofeng! If you continue to be uncooperative, don't blame me for searching personally..."

Lu Chaofeng clenched his palms, but remained expressionless, always strictly maintaining the basic ethics of a sinister and sickly person.

"Ahem... Commander Zhan! How could I lie to you?"

"Since this is the Queen Mother's intention, I will definitely cooperate."

"Don't worry, I'll send someone out to look for him. Maybe we can find him. Come, sit down for a while."

Zhan Xiao snorted coldly, raised his head and sat down casually in the first seat to the lower right of Lu Chaofeng. He picked up the teacup and started drinking without any politeness.

"Prince, why don't you live in Luocheng?"

"The city lord has a grudge against my father. Commander Zhan, don't you know?"
