I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

But someone else said, "I also think that we should negotiate peace with the Northwest Army..."

Once someone spoke up, the others became bolder and started talking about peace talks.

"Yes, Your Majesty. After all, aren't the Northwest Army also citizens of Dai Viet? This incident was entirely caused by Prince Yong's massacre of the village. As long as we show sincerity and apologize to the Northwest Army, I believe the King of the Northwest will not be willing to see people suffer."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"minister……"

In fact, these people were all unsure. After all, since the day Lu Yanzheng showed his rebellious intentions, the emperor had never been soft on him, although he didn't do anything to Lu Yanzheng.

However, what no one expected was that Emperor Jingqing actually fell into deep thought, as if he was seriously considering the possibility of peace talks.

Shangshu Yu summoned up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Lu Yanzheng is a man who cares deeply about the people. If the court is willing to negotiate peace, he will certainly not refuse for the sake of the people..."

"I approve!" Emperor Jingqing suddenly said, "Immediately have the Minister of Rites draft a joint proposal and send it to Lu Yanzheng as quickly as possible!"

All the courtiers: "..."

After Emperor Jingqing finished speaking, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you."

He said this and strode away.

The court officials looked at each other, not knowing how to express their thoughts.

Whose kingdom is this? Why does it feel like the emperor doesn't care about this at all?

Well, it’s not that he doesn’t care. He still gets angry and helpless, but every time he gets angry, he puts the blame on them.

After coming out of the imperial study, Minister Yu immediately called his personal servant.

"You must immediately take my warrant to the Five Cities Military Division to dispatch three hundred men to Prime Minister Su's residence. I have received news that the Prime Minister is in danger. It is our responsibility to protect him!" Shangshu Yu said righteously.

The servant had no suspicion and immediately ran to do it.

Minister Yu lowered his head and sneered. He would never give that old man a chance to escape!

When Minister Yu entered the palace just now and didn't see Prime Minister Su, he suspected that the old bastard Su Ziyu wanted to run away!

But he was not in a hurry. After all, he had just seen him in Chunfeng Tower last night. He must have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion all night.

At the same time, outside the city, at Shili Pavilion.

Three inconspicuous carriages sped away from the capital.

In the front carriage, Prime Minister Su sat with a dignified look on his face.

"Master, will Yun'er and the others be in trouble?" the Prime Minister's wife asked worriedly.

Prime Minister Su closed his eyes calmly, "I have already made all the arrangements. They should have landed on Qingfeng Island by now."

That small island was his retreat and the foundation for his comeback or confrontation with any force. No one knew about it except him and his loyal followers.

The Prime Minister's wife was still very worried, "Can Qingfeng Island really save our family's lives?"

She had never heard of it before and was really worried.

Prime Minister Su was annoyed by the questions and frowned, saying, "Don't mention women's opinions anymore. Just follow me."

If it weren't for the fact that he had to keep the mistress of the house to attend social events in Beijing, he would have sent his wife away long ago.

This woman was truly devoted and loyal to him, otherwise he could have simply abandoned her.

The Prime Minister's wife knew his temper and did not dare to ask any more questions. However, she could not suppress her worry and could only look out the car window frequently.

……

Three days later, Xiao Rui and An Shiqi brought a small group of people to Qingfeng Island.

"Master, there is a boat ahead. It looks like it will arrive soon." An Shiqi leaned close to Xiao Rui and whispered.

Xiao Rui nodded and said to the others, "Everyone, be careful. Let's go get the things first. If anything happens, everyone will react accordingly."

The others nodded in tacit understanding.

They received orders before they came out that if anything happened to the two guides in front of them, they could capture them and hand them over to the prince for punishment.

Xiao Rui and An Shiqi led the group towards the mountains and forests on the island.

As soon as they left, a group of dusty-looking people jumped out from the other side of the island.

"Master, we've been walking all night, but we're still going in circles. How about we take a break before we continue?"

"Yes, sir, I really can't walk any more. If I keep going, I'm going to faint."

"Brother, I can't walk anymore..."

A group of people all looked at the disheveled man in white clothes in the front, oh no, now it was the young man in gray clothes.

Su Zhayun looked at the sea with a dry mouth and a frown on his face.

His father had clearly said that there was a courtyard on the island that was built specifically for them, but after they arrived here last night, they hadn't found it and kept circling around the beach.

"First, drink some water and eat some dry food here. Later, the housekeeper will take my third and fourth brothers, I will take my second brother and third uncle, and my second uncle will take my fourth and fifth uncles. We will split into three groups and go look for it." Su Zhayun made a decision quickly.

Although he didn't know why his father asked them to come here, the situation in the court was indeed not optimistic. He thought his father made this decision for the sake of the Su family.

In this case, he must let the Su family settle down here, otherwise how can he demonstrate his ability as the head of the Su family?

Unfortunately, Su Zhayun and others were used to a life of luxury and had no ability to survive in the wild. They missed the right path and wandered around the beach for two days.

In the past two days, Xiao Rui has brought An Shiqi and others to find the treasure buried by Prime Minister Su on the island.

"Brother An, Brother An, you two are amazing!"

"Yes, it's amazing that we can find so much gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons in a place like this!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, everyone, work hard and move all these onto the boat..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rui just smiled and said nothing.

An Shiqi said a few polite words, but secretly curled his lips.

If it weren't for their master's selflessness, how could they have dug these things out?

Oh, forget it. He is the master's most loyal secret guard, so naturally he will support whatever the master does.

The group quickly moved away all the treasures and weapons that Prime Minister Su had hidden on the island, and then sailed away.

Before coming, Xiao Rui told Lu Yanzheng very clearly that the number of ships must not be less than three, so they actually drove four ships here, just enough to load all the treasures.

Xiao Rui stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the unknown water birds circling in the sky, and his mind suddenly became more open.

He also accidentally learned that Prime Minister Su had a treasure here, and then asked someone to find out the exact location. He was in a hurry when he was blown up, so he didn't think of this matter in time and didn't give it to Lu Yanzheng.

This time it was because the imperial court massacred civilians. He remembered that Prime Minister Su was not a good person either, so he decided to take away the things he had hidden in advance so that Lu Yanzheng would not pose a threat after he came to power.

Fortunately, now that he has obtained it, he can finally retire with honor.

……

In Dingshui Village, the busyness of the villagers can no longer be described as bustling; they are simply too busy to handle everything.

Jiang Qinyu had finally finished the things at hand and was planning to go find Shufan and Pan'er to relax, but Amber came back to talk again.

"Princess, Miss Wang, the daughter of Lieutenant General Wang, requests to see you." Amber said helplessly.

Jiang Qinyu frowned, "Which Lieutenant General Wang?"

She didn't even have this person in her mind, why did he suddenly come?

"He has just taken office. The princess has not had any contact with him yet, but I heard that he is capable and is trusted by the new prefect of Yukang Prefecture." Amber told everything she knew.

Jiang Qinyu nodded suddenly, "What does Miss Wang want to see me about?"

"What else could it be? Princess, you just have such a good temper." Amber puffed out her cheeks angrily.

Jiang Qinyu looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"
