Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge
Chapter 449 The Princess's Maid (53)
Chu Hanfeng had already received the news that Yue Zeyuan had personally led the expedition, bringing Yun Jing and Shen Yixiao to the battlefield to use them as hostages.
He certainly didn't want to be threatened, which is why he sent his secret guards to infiltrate the Yue Kingdom's military camp, intending to secretly abduct Yun Jing.
Unfortunately, Yue Zeyuan was prepared. Not only were Yun Jing and Shen Yixiao not kidnapped, but the secret guards sent by Chu Hanfeng were captured.
Yue Zeyuan personally interrogated the guards, and some of his men were left alive.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Prince Rui asked from the side.
Yue Zeyuan smiled with a contemptuous look in his eyes.
He and Qi Ning had already discussed how to use Yun Jing and Shen Yixiao as hostages. It was perfect that Chu Hanfeng sent his secret guards over; they could have the Chu Kingdom's secret guards deliver a letter back to Chu Hanfeng.
Yue Zeyuan stretched out his hand: "Prepare the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."
"Yes, Brother Huang."
Prince Rui didn't know what Yue Zeyuan was planning to do, but he still immediately had someone prepare writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone for Yue Zeyuan.
Yue Zeyuan wrote a letter and had someone fetch a hairpin from Yun Jing, which he then put into the envelope.
“Pick out a bodyguard and have him take this letter back and deliver it to Chu Hanfeng.”
Just as Chu Hanfeng was anxiously waiting for news in the Chu army camp, the heavily wounded guard returned with a letter.
"His Majesty!"
The guard knelt on the ground and clasped his hands in salute.
When Chu Hanfeng saw that only he had returned, he immediately asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where are the people you kidnapped?"
Actually, without asking any further questions, Chu Hanfeng already guessed what was going on.
Yue Zeyuan certainly wouldn't let him kidnap the person so easily.
It seems their attempt to kidnap people failed.
The guard, severely wounded, replied weakly, "Your Majesty, Yue Zeyuan arranged two fake hostages, not Princess Pingning and Young Master Shen. We were ambushed, therefore..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Hanfeng kicked him hard to the ground.
"Useless thing. Since you failed to complete the task I assigned you, what are you doing back alive?"
The guard was already seriously injured, and when Chu Hanfeng kicked him, he immediately fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Guards, take this piece of trash away and execute him immediately!"
Seeing that Chu Hanfeng was about to have the guard executed in his rage, General Shen quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Yue Zeyuan sent him back with a message, so why don't you listen to what he has to say?"
After hearing General Shen's words, Chu Hanfeng's anger subsided somewhat.
His face was grim as he looked at the guard: "What message did Yue Zeyuan send you back with?"
The guard struggled to his feet and took out a letter from his pocket, presenting it with both hands.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter that Yue Zeyuan asked me to deliver to Your Majesty."
Chu Hanfeng snatched the letter from the guard's hand, quickly tore open the envelope, and took out the letter to read its contents.
The letter contained only one short sentence: If you want Yun Jing, Chu Hanfeng should come to Pengsha Valley alone three days from now at Chenshi (7-9 AM).
Chu Hanfeng frowned, his expression grave.
In addition, there was a hairpin tucked in the middle of the letter. It was a gift from the emperor that Yun Jing received when she went to marry a princess for a political marriage. She took that hairpin with her when she set off for the marriage.
"Your Majesty, what did the letter say?" General Shen asked quickly, noticing Chu Hanfeng's unwell expression.
Chu Hanfeng tossed the letter directly to General Shen: "Read it yourself."
When General Shen read the contents of the letter, his thick eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Pengsha Valley is located at the border between the states of Chu and Yue, and is a long and narrow valley.
Under normal circumstances, one can only enter from either side of the valley. Once inside, there is no other way to get out quickly, making it an excellent place to set traps.
General Shen immediately looked at Chu Hanfeng: "Oh dear, Your Majesty! This is clearly a trap set by Yue Zeyuan, you absolutely must not go!"
Chu Hanfeng ignored General Shen and stared blankly at the hairpin in her hand.
This is Yun Jing's personal belongings.
I wonder how Yun Jing is doing now.
Chu Hanfeng knew very well the purpose of Yue Zeyuan sending this letter and this hairpin.
He knew perfectly well that it was an obvious trap.
However, Yun Jing is still in Yue Zeyuan's hands. Chu Hanfeng started the war to save Yun Jing, so he couldn't just give up so easily because he was afraid of a trap.
After a long while, Chu Hanfeng raised his head: "No, I must go."
General Shen turned pale with fright.
He knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
General Shen is a loyal subject. Even though Chu Hanfeng might hold them accountable later because of Shen Yixiao's matter, General Shen remains utterly loyal to Chu Hanfeng.
Moreover, if something were to happen to Chu Hanfeng, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the entire Chu Kingdom would be turned upside down.
"Your Majesty, you must not take this risk! Please reconsider!" General Shen pleaded earnestly.
"Why don't I go in Your Majesty's place?"
"Yue Zeyuan sent me, do you think it would be useful for you to go in my place?"
"This……"
Chu Hanfeng looked at General Shen and sneered, "Don't forget, your son Shen Yixiao is also in Yue Zeyuan's hands!"
the other side.
Unlike the tense atmosphere in the Chu army camp, Yue Zeyuan and Qi Ning were sitting in their tent, leisurely enjoying tea.
Will Chu Hanfeng go?
With such an obvious trap, would Chu Hanfeng, as the emperor of Chu, really risk his life for a woman?
Yue Zeyuan didn't quite believe that Chu Hanfeng would do this for Yun Jing.
But thinking about it carefully, if Qi Ning were captured and someone asked him to rescue Qi Ning alone, he definitely wouldn't hesitate.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem impossible.
Qi Ning, holding her teacup, chuckled and replied, "He should go. Chu Hanfeng has already mobilized troops for Yun Jing. Now that Yun Jing is right in front of him, do you think he would back down?"
Qi Ning felt that, based on the extent to which Chu Hanfeng went crazy for Yun Jing in the original story, he would take risks for her.
She paused for a moment, then added, "Even if Chu Hanfeng doesn't go, we won't suffer any loss."
Yue Zeyuan smiled and said, "You're right."
This matter will not cause them any loss; it all depends on Chu Hanfeng's choice.
Qi Ning's prediction was correct.
As expected, Chu Hanfeng sent a reply that very evening.
He didn't directly agree or refuse; instead, he sent a letter to negotiate terms.
Chu Hanfeng proposed giving a city to Yue Zeyuan in exchange for Yun Jing, after which both sides withdrew their troops.
In fact, no matter what conditions Chu Hanfeng proposed, as long as he took the initiative to negotiate with Yue Zeyuan's side, it meant that he was showing weakness, and his vulnerability was exposed.
