The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

He ordered all the maids in the mansion to gather together and personally selected a dozen maids, ready to wait for Jia Yuanchun to go south and send them south together.

I hope that both the imperial court and the pseudo-Wu side will appreciate the sincerity of the Jia family and treat the Jia family well in the future.

The palace naturally noticed the Jia family's actions, but they turned a blind eye and let them do what they wanted.

In Yangzhou City, since Prince Shui Rong of Beijing entered Yangzhou,

Peace talks with Qingfeng Village have never begun.

Except for the day when Wang Ziteng, as the representative of Great Wu, went out to greet them with Jia Zheng, the former imperial envoy of the court, no one paid any attention to them since then.

That’s right, after Shui Rong entered Yangzhou, the imperial envoy of the court automatically became Prince Beijing Shui Rong.

Facing the indifference of Qingfeng Village,

Shui Rong stayed in the inn with a worried look on his face.

The key point is that Da Wu is not isolated from outside news.

How many prefectures did Da Wu capture today, and how many prefectures and counties will be captured tomorrow? With so many mixed messages, even Shui Rong had a vague feeling that Da Qian would be doomed sooner or later.

In the inn.

Shui Rong looked at Mr. Wu Zhai with a frown and asked,

"Sir, the Pseudo-Wu has yet to send anyone to negotiate with me. Do you think I can't go back?"

Mr. Wuzhai shook his head slightly, stroked his beard and said solemnly,

"Your Highness, please be patient. The ruler of Great Wu withdrew his troops thirty miles from the north on the day Your Highness entered Yangzhou. This is a sign that he is willing to negotiate. I believe that someone will come to see Your Highness soon!"

Shui Rong sighed with emotion.

"Alas! But when will that be?"

Mr. Wuzhai frowned and sighed,

"Perhaps, we should wait until the Great Wu Lord completely controls the half of the country south of the Yangtze River!"

Shui Rong was speechless for a long time after hearing this.

Mr. Wuzhai is safe and sound.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The court is aware of your situation here."

"Perhaps the imperial court is also trying to find a way to break the deadlock. I believe that it won't be long before a new imperial edict arrives!"

"At this moment, Your Majesty, all you need to do is calm down and concentrate, and things will naturally change."

Shui Rong nodded helplessly after hearing this.

"Forget it, this is the only solution for now!"

Sure enough, after a few days.

The imperial court sent a new decree by express horse. After seeing the latest decree from the imperial court, Shui Rong was also stunned.

After receiving the imperial edict, he hurried back to the room to discuss with Mr. Wuzhai.

After seeing the imperial edict, Mr. Wuzhai's expression remained calm, and he sighed heavily after a long time.

Shui Rong asked curiously,

"Sir, could it be that you anticipated this? Otherwise, why are you so calm?"

Mr. Wuzhai nodded lightly and sighed,

"Alas! I never thought that Daqian would really reach such a state!"

"I, the Great Emperor Taizu, had 20,000 soldiers and armor to conquer the world, but why did it come to this?"

Shui Rong blushed upon hearing this.

"By using a mere woman to beg for peace, Xinglong has truly brought shame upon the Emperor Taizu of Daqian."

Anyway, there are only Mr. Wuzhai and I here, so even if we say something, we don’t have to worry about others knowing it.

Mr. Wuzhai glanced at Shui Rong, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

Shui Rong only saw the imperial edict granting Li Qingfeng marriage, and enthroning Li Qingfeng as the King of Wu, along with all the precious seals and golden policies.

However, they have never realized the deeper meaning behind this action of the Emperor or the Holy Lord!

But what can a mere scholar like him do about matters of the country and family?

Then he smiled and said to Shui Rong,

"I would like to congratulate His Majesty first!"

Shui Rong asked doubtfully,

"Where does this prince's joy come from?"

Mr. Wuzhai pointed to the imperial edict in Shuirong's hand and said with a smile,

"Once this imperial edict arrives, it won't be long before His Majesty can return to the Divine Capital."

"Really?"

Shui Rong was delighted when he heard this.

He didn't want to stay in this bandit's den any longer, and even when he slept he was worried that his attendants would be killed.

It's just because I have an imperial mission that I have no choice but to stay here.

But soon, Shui Rong's face fell, and he said helplessly,
