Chapter 1909 Withdrawal of Troops
The soldier took the letter and handed it to the King of Xirong, and Wan Conghe also got off his horse. He collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
That night, in order to deliver the letter, he ran so fast that two horses were broken before he arrived on time.
In the handwritten letter, there was a token of Chen Changli with words engraved on it, which the King of Xirong had also seen. There was also a letter.
"Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter. We have been tricked. I must go and lure out the person behind the scenes, so I cannot rush back. I hope Your Majesty can calm down and not start a war with Dayong for the time being."
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Amir, and then I will come to explain and apologize to the king in person."
At the end of the letter, Chen Changli's name was left.
The King of Xirong had already felt that something was wrong with this matter, and now after seeing the handwritten letter sent by Chen Changli, he became even more certain of his thoughts.
He waved his hand and said calmly, "Since Chen Changli has made a promise, I will wait for him for two more days. Everyone, withdraw to the camp."
The soldiers retreated in a huge crowd, and the King of Xirong lowered his eyes to look at Wan Conghe who was slumped on the ground, with cold eyes.
"I will stay put for a few days, but my patience is limited. You guys in Dayong had better act quickly and send Amir back to me as soon as possible."
Seeing this, Wan Conghe nodded subconsciously. He also understood that as the king of a region, his majesty would not tolerate provocation. This matter must have an explanation.
Wan Conghe stood up and saluted the other party: "Don't worry, King Xirong, the old Duke will keep his word and will never lie to you."
After watching the Xirong army leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And this time, on the other side.
Wan Shufang and Chen Changli were not locked up for long. At noon the next day, the door was opened again. This time, all four of them were blindfolded.
"Where are you taking us?" Amir asked impatiently.
But in response to her questioning, the man in black pushed her directly and violently.
"I see you don't want the other fingers anymore, so just go ahead, why are you talking so much."
Amir was unwilling to accept the warning, but the next second, something cold was pressed against his waist. It was a dagger.
She kept silent subconsciously. No matter how unwilling she was to accept it, she could only let the other party be arrogant.
Soon, several people were blindfolded and taken away. They could realize that they were on a journey, but they didn't know where they were going.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but when everyone was drowsy, noisy voices came into their ears, bringing their thoughts back to their senses.
The familiar language made Chen Changli's expression complicated.
"It's Xirong."
He thought silently in his heart, and at the same time had some guesses. Perhaps, this game was played by the Xirong people, but they didn't know who it was.
On the other side, Amir's face also changed drastically. She was more familiar with Xirong than Chen Changli, so she could naturally hear it.
"Who is it, who dares to betray Xirong..."
Amir was very angry, but before she could figure out what was going on, several people had already passed through the noise and came to a quiet place.
Turning left and right, I suddenly heard the sound of unlocking again.
"Get in."
The man in black spoke sternly, pushing and shoving them into the basement. The blindfolds were finally taken off. Looking at the dark and dirty environment around him, Amir gritted his teeth and said, "Where is this? What on earth do you want to do?"
Before the man in black could answer, a familiar voice that disgusted several people was heard first.
"You have asked this question many times. Aren't you really tired of it?" The ghost-faced man appeared at the corner, with a fan in his hand. He had a leisurely temperament and looked like a gentleman.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment. He put away his folding fan and warned coldly: "Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, I advise you not to try to escape, otherwise, you will die miserably."
"Asshole, who the hell are you? You planned all this carefully, what on earth do you want to do to Xirong?"
Amir tried to reach out and grab him. The blows of the past few days had made her a little irritable, especially after she knew that the other party's target was Xirong, she could no longer remain calm.
"You have such a bad temper." The man with the ghost face easily avoided it. He didn't answer Amir's question at all, nor did he want to answer it. He just left the basement with a smile.
After everyone left, the sound of a door closing was heard from upstairs.
Amir sat on the ground dejectedly, holding her head, feeling upset. Xirong was in danger now, but she could do nothing.
Seeing Amir's expression, Wan Shufang took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Chen Changli, what do you think about this?"
"This matter should be someone from Xirong who wants to provoke a war between the two countries and make a profit from it." Chen Changli pursed his lips, his face serious, his eyes full of worry.
"Now that we have been captured and imprisoned in Xirong, given their tactics, they will definitely send someone to Dayong to deliver a message, just like when Amir's finger was cut off. If His Majesty knows that you and I have been captured, he will be furious and send troops, and then Dayong and Xirong will fight."
As he analyzed, he exchanged a glance with Wan Shufang. Both of them had serious expressions in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had the same idea.
And the fact is just as they expected, at this moment, in the Dayong Imperial City.
In the court, the emperor received the news that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had been arrested, and he was immediately furious.
"Damn it! This Xirong simply doesn't take our Great Yong seriously. General Li, you must lead your troops to Yancheng immediately and attack Xirong. Make sure to rescue the old Duke and his wife."
As soon as he finished speaking, General Li knelt down to accept the order. No one in the court dared to object. After all, they all knew that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were meritorious officials of Dayong.
The two of them are of special significance to the emperor, and nothing must happen to them in other countries.
The army of Dayong chose a day to set out. Outside the border city, in the Xirong camp, several generals, led by the King of Xirong, were gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, this time it was the Great Yong who went too far, we shouldn't have retreated."
"Your Majesty, without Chen Changli, Dayong has no one to use. Why not..."
Several people took turns bombarding, trying to persuade the King of Xirong to order a war, but the King of Xirong just waved his hand and refused.
"Well, since I have promised Chen Changli, I will keep my troops in place for now."
Seeing that the King of Xirong was unmoved, Zhaman's eyes darkened and he winked at Mingle beside him. Mingle instantly understood what he meant and he took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, Lord Amir is also a meritorious official of Xirong. He devoted himself to Xirong and gave everything he had. But this time he was abused and had his fingers cut off. This is heartbreaking."
"But Dayong's attitude is unclear and it keeps delaying, refusing to give us Xirong an explanation. We shouldn't tolerate it any longer." Ming Le spoke righteously, observing the expression of the King of Xirong as he spoke.
Noticing his expression relax, Ming Le's eyes flashed with joy. He lowered his head and suppressed his joy calmly: "Your Majesty, Dayong was in the wrong this time, and they are still like this. They simply don't take us other countries seriously."
