Chapter 175: Kidnapping
Chapter 175: Kidnapping
Barlow said anxiously, "Master Wen!"
They had finally found the princess, how could they let her go? His Majesty was still waiting!
The old man was also a little anxious. He did not agree with the king sneaking into Dayong, but the king was bewitched by the King of Qi of Dayong and insisted on coming to Dayong in person to see if he really had a daughter. No matter how the ministers tried to persuade him, it was useless, so he had to accompany the king in person.
However, he did not expect that when he arrived in the capital of Dayong, he actually found out that the princess of Dayong actually looked seven points similar to the king, and was also the granddaughter of Ye Zhennan, a famous general of Dayong.
When the king heard that the princess's mother was Ye Zhennan's daughter, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly decided that the princess must be his daughter without even meeting her!
It was useless for the old man to say anything.
If he and Barro hadn't held him back, the king would have rushed to the general's mansion!
If Ye Zhennan or Emperor Yong discovered this, their Chu State would be in danger!
There was no other way, so the old man had to think of a compromise, which was to let Baro follow Yan Qing first, and then invite her to meet the king.
Barlow followed for several days and finally found the right opportunity. The old man was worried that Barlow was too honest, so he secretly sent someone to follow him.
Unexpectedly, the princess was unwilling to go with him to see the king.
How is this possible?
But that was the king of Western Zhou? Western Zhou was countless times richer than Dayong. He imagined Yan Qing would faint with joy upon hearing that she was a princess of Western Zhou, but she was completely indifferent.
The old man didn't understand Yan Qing.
But he knew that he had to take Yan Qing to see the king. As long as he brought her to the king, their mission would be accomplished, and the king would listen to his advice and return to Western Zhou early.
So, watching Yan Qingyuan's back, the old man gritted his teeth and suddenly waved his hand, saying, "Come here! Her Royal Highness is too willful. In this emergency, tie Her Royal Highness up!"
Barlow exclaimed in surprise, "Master Wen!"
The old man said with a cold face: "Barro, we must send the princess to His Majesty, otherwise..."
He narrowed his eyes, not very reassured about Yan Qing.
The guards who had been knocked to the ground by Li Ying immediately got up upon hearing the order and rushed towards Yan Qing regardless of anything.
The old man was planning to kidnap someone by force.
Yan Qing turned around after hearing the noise, his face grim.
Just now she just asked Li Ying to knock those people down, but she didn't expect that this old man would dare to come!
Do you really think she won't kill anyone?
Yan Qing was about to order Li Ying to kill without mercy when Gu Huaizhou suddenly appeared not far away.
Behind him followed the Shengwu Army under the emperor's jurisdiction.
"Whoosh-"
A long arrow shot at the old man's feet.
The thick snow was broken by the arrow and splashed onto the old man's face. The old man instantly covered his face with his hands, cried out in pain, and stepped back.
He glared at the newcomer in shock and anger.
Who is this person? How could one arrow be so powerful?
Gu Huaizhou's voice came out coldly: "Wenrong, you dare to trespass into the border of Dayong and hide in Kyoto. This prince gives you three days to leave, otherwise my Dayong cavalry will crush Chu Tianhe's head!"
These words shocked and angered the old man and Barlow.
This person claimed to be a prince and revealed their identities at a glance. The old man's face suddenly changed: "I wonder which prince you are?"
"Gu Huaizhou."
Gu Huaizhou calmly stated his identity.
The old man named Wenrong immediately thought of a response: "So it's the Fourth Prince who was just admitted to the palace by Emperor Yong. My apologies! But the Fourth Prince has misunderstood. We are not trespassing in Dayong. We heard that Emperor Yong had found his long-lost son, so we came to congratulate him. After all, your mother is from our Chu State.
"Also, the Fourth Prince might have made a mistake. Our monarch is not here, and we are merely envoys sent here to offer congratulations. In a relationship between two nations, envoys should not be executed. The Fourth Prince is not trying to undermine the friendship between the two countries, is he?"
Gu Huaizhou sneered: "Since you are here to congratulate this prince, why are you stopping me, Princess Dayong?"
