The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 424 Extra 15 Blackmail

"..." Wu Helangnan began to panic, his eyes flickered, and cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck.

As early as when he made this plan, he had thought that Gu Jue might track him down, but after carefully considering the pros and cons, he felt that even if he was exposed, it would not be a big deal. The most he could do was to make amends to Gu Jue in person. No.

Their Dahao is not a small barbarian country like Chidi and Lin. Dahao and Daqi are equal countries. Even if Gu Jue is the noble emperor of Daqi, no matter how angry Gu Jue is, he must consider one of his The decision will affect both Qi and Hao, and may lead to chaos in the world.

Gu Jue had just ascended the throne and his throne was not yet stable. He would definitely not want the two countries to break up.

That was what Wuhan Langnan had thought before today, but now he was not so sure. Gu Jue's words and deeds made him feel uneasy.

Wu Helangnan only had contact with Gu Jue a few times, but from Gu Jue's unreasonable behavior again and again, he also vaguely felt that Gu Jue was too strong. Maybe it was because he was in the army. He has been in military service for many years, so he is accustomed to the style of military orders. He cannot tolerate anyone saying no to him.

Gu Jue tapped his fingers gently on the coffee table twice and said calmly: "Come here, **** the third prince Wuhe and the second princess back to the Hao Kingdom. Emperor Hao must give me an explanation for this matter. If he can't let If I am satisfied, don’t blame me for fighting against me!”

Gu Jue's face still had a calm look, but the words he said made Wu Helangnan tremble with fear, and the hairs on his back stood up.

Wuha Langnan: "..."

The wolf attack in the hunting ground was indeed a plot against Gu Jue, but he did not intend to kill Gu Jue. He also knew that it was impossible for a few wolves to hurt Gu Jue, who was highly skilled in martial arts. His purpose was just to provoke Gu Jue. It's just the relationship between Gu Jue and Wuhe Jialou.

And Gu Jue actually wanted to declare war on Dahao over this? !

Isn't Gu Jue afraid that the officials and the people will say that he is militaristic? Isn't he too selfish and unscrupulous? !

Wu He Langnan was sweating coldly. He tried to look calmly at Gu Jue's eyes and said in a tough voice: "Your Majesty, I am an envoy of the Hao Kingdom. Do you treat me as a prisoner?!"

Gu Jue raised the corners of his lips and said with a cold smile: "Of course I know that you are the envoy of the Hao Kingdom, otherwise, do you think you can still stand here properly?!"

Gu Jue's eyes were indifferent, with a hint of scorn for the world, and he looked at Wu He Langnan as if he were looking at a dead man who had done nothing.

"..." Wuhan Langnan was speechless, feeling increasingly unsure.

As the dignified third prince of the Hao Kingdom, he admits that he has met countless people and has met many heroes and heroes. Even the current heroes like his father Wuhaduluo have traces to follow in their dealings.

But Gu Jue is different!

Gu Jue has his own set of rules for doing things. He will never waver when he has found the right direction and doesn't care what the world thinks of him.

Shaye looked at Wuhan Langnan uneasily, not knowing what to do.

If they were sent back to Hao Country in such a dejected manner, it would mean that their mission had failed. Her father's eyes could never tolerate sand. She simply couldn't imagine what he would do to them after they returned home!

Gu Jue said no more and ordered: "Take this person down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Jin Yiwei commanded Qian Shi to immediately respond with his fists clasped, and escorted Wu He Langnan, Sha Ye and the rest of the Hao people down.

Before, Wu Helangnan and his party were guests and enjoyed the treatment of distinguished guests in Daqi. But from this moment on, their status has undergone earth-shaking changes.

They will be placed under house arrest and guarded, almost like prisoners.

After a while, the surroundings became quiet again, and Lu Linxiao, who was kneeling on the ground, was also taken away by the Jin Yiwei.

Only Gu Jue and Zhang Shoufu, who sat next to him without saying a word for a long time, were the only ones left in the room.

Zhang Shoufu coughed twice and advised hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Qi and Hao have been in truce for more than twenty years. The diplomatic relations between the two countries are hard-won..." He wanted to advise Gu Jue not to go to war with Hao easily.

Gu Jue leisurely took a sip of hot tea and corrected: "The peaceful diplomatic relations between the two countries are indeed hard to maintain. However, the person who established diplomatic relations with Daqi is not the current pseudo-emperor of Hao Kingdom, but Uhagalou."

The information revealed in Gu Jue's words made Zhang Shoufu's eyes widen in shock and he looked thoughtful.

In other words, Gu Jue never agreed with Uhaduluo from beginning to end, thinking that he was a false emperor. The person Gu Jue was more optimistic about was Uhaduluo? !

Zhang Shoufu could vaguely feel that Gu Jue was not acting randomly, but had something in mind.

Yes, their new emperor has big ideas, and he never fights uncertain battles!

Zhang Shoufu thought for a while, then solemnly bowed his head and echoed: "Your Majesty is right."

This matter is finally settled.

Before the others could set out to return to Beijing, Wu He Langnan and Sha Ye were taken away from the Wanlin Garden Hunting Palace by a 300-strong Jinwu Guard that day and headed south.

Because Gu Jue specifically told them to hurry up, Jin Wuwei's journey was almost day and night, with only two hours of rest every day. For the two brothers Wu He Langnan and Sha Ye, who had always been pampered, this journey was no different from torture.

When they crossed the river on the border between the two countries and arrived at Jianye City, the capital of the Hao Kingdom, both brothers and sisters had lost a lot of weight and were exhausted.

Jin Wuwei did not send people directly into Jianye City, but instead had people beat gongs and drums at the city gate.

"Cang! Cang!"

This shocking sound suddenly attracted many people from the Hao Kingdom to stop, and a crowd of people not far away came like a tide after hearing the sound.

After a while, the area near the city gate became crowded and more and more lively.

When the gate guards of Jianye City saw someone daring to cause trouble in the capital, they immediately took action. A group of twenty or thirty soldiers aggressively approached these Jinwu guards.

"Who is making noise here!" The leader, the bearded Haoren, asked in a rough voice in Hao language.

The city gate guards behind him all had cold faces, as if they were going to drive people away if they disagreed.

"Oh, you are so majestic!" A handsome young man in purple clothes rode a black horse and walked out of the Jinwu Guard.

Facing the group of ferocious Hao people in front of him, the young man's cynical handsome face showed a playful smile and he yawned lazily.

At this time, the loud sound of gongs finally stopped.

The mustachioed Jinwuwei who was playing the gong bowed his hands respectfully to the young man in purple, and called in a questioning tone: "Master Ten?"

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. The new emperor sent Nanyang King Qin Yao to run this errand this time, which was actually overkill. However, Qin Yao said that he had never been to Nanhao and insisted on taking this errand. He also insisted that they call him "Tenth Master". Qin Yao casually snapped his fingers, signaling them to take the next step in their plan.

Then, the mustachioed Jin Wuwei cleared his throat and shouted in Hao language at the top of his lungs: "We are envoys sent by the Emperor of Qi, and we are here today on the order of our emperor to question why Emperor Hao sent people to assassinate me. Emperor!”

The first words he spoke caused the surrounding people of the Hao Kingdom to instantly burst into uproar and explode.

The faces of the Hao people headed by the bearded man changed, knowing that this matter was not trivial.

The mustachioed Jin Wuwei continued: "Three months ago, Emperor Hao sent the third prince and second princess Wuhe to our country to congratulate our emperor on his enthronement. My emperor has always treated them with courtesy and willed your country to The prince and princess are treated as distinguished guests and treated properly.”

"However, the third prince Wuhe has ulterior motives and actually conspired to assassinate my emperor."

"Did Emperor Hao order the third prince Wu He to assassinate our emperor? Did Emperor Hao want the two countries to go to war? Emperor Hao must give me an explanation for Da Qi!"

His voice was loud and clear, and most of the people around him heard it, and the people of Hao Kingdom became more commotion.

Although it has been more than a year since Wuhaduluo forced the palace to usurp the throne, the people in Jianye City still remember the **** scenes during the period.

During those days, the entire Jianye City was rumbled with strong winds, and the air was always filled with a strong smell of blood and corpses. Even if they stayed behind closed doors, they could still hear the sounds of fighting, screams, and screams coming from the streets outside. Crying to kill…

War is terrible!

These ordinary people of the Hao Kingdom are afraid of war, and no one wants to experience the nightmare again, as if they have walked away from hell.

The surrounding people of Hao Kingdom started to stir like ants on a hot pot, pointing and talking, with surprise and uncertainty on their faces.

After burning the incense, what Jin Wuwei said reached the ears of Hao Emperor Wuhaduluo word for word.

The air turned sharply in an instant, from the warm autumn to the cold winter. The square-faced Haoren who came to report did not dare to raise his head to look at Emperor Hao's face, and was panic-stricken.

Wuhaduluo was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, in his prime, with a tall and mighty figure. His heroic face looked serious when he was not talking or smiling, and he had the domineering and majestic air of a king.

Wuhaduluo is not afraid of Daqi, but he does not want to go to war with Daqi. The current civil strife in Dahao has not been settled. Once the two countries go to war, it will only greatly damage their vitality, and maybe someone will be waiting for an opportunity.

"Go and invite the Daqi envoy in first." Wuhaduluo said slowly through gritted teeth, with a pair of sinister triangular eyes filled with uncertainty.

Wuhaduluohui sent Wuhorangnan to Daqi to persuade Gu Jue personally, so he naturally placed high hopes on this third son.

Four months ago, the night before Wuhorangnan set off for Daqi, Wuhaduluo had a private conversation with him, asking him to persuade Gu Jue to cooperate with their Hao country, and also told him to "act cheaply" if necessary. ".

However, Wuhaduluo never expected that Wuhorangnan would do things like this. He actually assassinated Gu Jue? ! What on earth is going on in this brain!

At this moment, Wuhaduluo felt a strong dislike for Wuhorangnan.

The square-faced Haoren swallowed his saliva and said with great embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the envoys sent by Da Qi were unwilling to enter the city. They only said outside the city that they wanted you to give an explanation to Da Qi. They took the third prince. Imprisoned in the carriage with the second princess."

There are only 300 envoys from Da Qi. This is the territory of the Hao Kingdom. Of course they can rob it openly, but if they really attack Da Qi's envoys today, then a battle between the two countries will be inevitable. !

Uhaduluo stood up abruptly and walked back and forth a little anxiously.

He was worried not only about Daqi, but also about Uhagalou.

Everyone in the world knows that the private property of the Hao Kingdom royal family is as rich as any other country. In addition to the obvious things, the royal family has some unknown properties in Haozhou and several small southwestern countries outside the country. These secrets have been revealed by the emperors of the Hao Kingdom in the past dynasties. It was passed down by mouth, and he took the throne from his brother Wu He Beizhen, so he knew nothing about it.

With Wu Hebeizhen's death, these secrets will no longer be known.

Wuhaduluo had also doubted whether Wuhagalou would know, but he felt that his brother would not tell such a big secret to the eldest son of the emperor who was not yet the prince.

A few days ago, he found out that Wu Hejialou appeared in Haozhou with An Tan, the leader of the Ying Yang Guard. An Tan was a true confidant of the late Emperor Wu He Bei and also held some royal property. Wuhejialou and Anqin must have gone to Haozhou to ask for an audience with Prince Pumixi, hoping to use the royal family's private property as a bargaining chip to impress him...

While thinking, Wuhaduluo sat back behind the desk again.

He picked up the pen, dipped some ink on the inkstone, and started writing quickly, finishing in one go.

Now is a critical period. Once Dahao goes to war with Daqi, he will be in a very passive situation.

The current monarch of Da Qi is the famous Chen King Gu Jue, who is known as the War King and is known to everyone in the Hao Kingdom. Not to mention whether Hao Kingdom can defeat Da Qi in this battle, the vassal kings in the country are definitely not willing to fight against Da Qi.

These vassal kings have always been on the sidelines. When the late Emperor Wu Hebei was really on the throne, they were always worried that Wu Hebei would really cut down the vassal, and they were secretly dissatisfied with him. But now that he is dead, these vassal kings are thinking about it. He was so good, he kept saying that the late emperor would not do this, and the late emperor would not do that.

Uhaduluo could feel that the hearts of these feudal kings were wavering. Some of them might have contacted Uhagalou privately...

Wuhaduluo put away the pen, dried the ink on the paper, and then ordered: "Go and pass on my oral instructions and say that I am willing to pay compensation to Daqi.!"

His expression was as determined as iron. At this point, he could only make some sacrifices to appease Gu Jue.

The square-faced Hao man accepted the order and returned to the same route without stopping. He came to see Qin Yao at the north city gate. He truthfully conveyed Emperor Hao's wishes and handed over the letter written by Uhaduluo to Qin Yao. , polite and courteous from beginning to end.

indemnity? Qin Yao read the letter quickly, then narrowed his eyes with a smile, and a cunning light flashed across his eyes.

The errand assigned to him by his ninth brother was indeed interesting, and it was not in vain for him to travel all the way to Nanhao.

Qin Yao casually crumpled the letter into a ball, threw it at the other party's face, and said angrily: "Two hundred thousand taels of silver, five thousand bolts of silk, do you think you are sending a beggar away?! "

"..." The face of the square-faced Haoren didn't look good. He stood frozen on the spot, his heart filled with anger. Two hundred thousand taels of silver plus five thousand bolts of silk is already a big deal!

Qin Yao rolled his eyes and said with a playful smile: "Go back and tell Emperor Hao to cede Shuzhou to Daqi!"

What? ! That square-faced Hao man almost fell out of favor.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said with a forced smile: "Please wait a moment, envoy, I will go back and report to Emperor Hao."

Qin Yao seemed to think that the other party was not annoyed enough, and added with a smile: "The Xuanjia Army is already on the way, and by then there will be more than just these three hundred people!"
