Chapter 180 The Kings of Jiangnan Sit on the Fence and Watch

Guangling County, Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.

The aftermath of the palace coup in the capital did not seem to have affected Guangling County, where Su Muchen, the uncle of the country, lived.

In fact, the entire Jiangnan region is still singing and dancing as in the past, and the idle princes who are idle at home drink and have fun every day.

The war in the north is tense, there are internal and external troubles outside the city of Jinling, the war-torn land is full of empty houses, and people are dying of hunger everywhere. These things seem to have nothing to do with the princes in the Jiangnan region.

However, an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared recently quickly shattered the illusion of peaceful singing and dancing in the Jiangnan region, forcing several princes who were idle at home to make choices in the face of a cruel situation.

Because Luo Yucheng, the special envoy of the King of Jin, had knocked on the doors of all the royal palaces one by one and visited them personally.

Luo Yucheng's last stop was the Zhongshan Palace in Guangling County where his uncle-in-law Su Muchen lived.

On this day, Su Muchen, the king of Zhongshan, was in the back garden of his residence. He and his newly befriended Bai Shi, the wife of Pan Fenglin, the prefect of Guangling County, admired the somersaulting Western Persian cat in the palace and had an in-depth exchange of feelings.

Just as Su Muchen was flirting with Mr. Bai and touching her hand, an announcement from a servant of the palace suddenly came from outside the back garden:

"Your Majesty, the special envoy of King Jin wants to see you!"

brush!

As soon as Su Muchen heard that the special envoy of the King of Jin asked for an audience, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body suddenly withered.

This scene made Mrs. Bai in his arms quite dissatisfied, and she said coquettishly: "My lord, why did you suddenly stop? I haven't even seen the somersaulting Persian cat yet!"

Ahem!

Su Muchen helped Bai Shi up in his arms and said with a little embarrassment: "Bai Niang, I will enjoy this Persian cat somersault with you another day;"

"Now, I have more important things to do, so you should go back to your mansion first!"

"You've been out for so long, the prefect should be worried about you!"

After saying that, Su Muchen ignored the resentment in Bai's eyes behind him and wished he could tear out a few pieces of flesh from his body. He hurriedly packed his clothes and left in a hurry.

Bai was left alone in the back garden, muttering to herself with a sad face: "Hmph, men are all virtuous, but they still want to provoke me even though they are not good at it themselves;"

"My interest has just aroused, how can I resolve the hatred in my heart?"

"Hey, it's really annoying, but you can't get what you ask for!"

...

In the meeting hall of the royal palace.

Luo Yucheng, the special envoy of the King of Jin, who was disguised as a northern merchant, was currently in the meeting hall of the palace, enjoying the fine West Lake Longjing tea leisurely.

Beside him were a group of royal family members who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Outside the meeting hall, there was also a group of swordsmen and axemen raised by the royal palace. Each man held a steel knife tightly in his hand, ready to wait for the prince's order at any time, rush into the meeting hall and chop the Jin King's envoy into a pulp.

From top to bottom in the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, even the servants who carried water and chopped firewood in the kitchen knew that the King of Zhongshan, as the uncle of the state, was on the same level as the King of Jin who was thousands of miles away.

If Jin King Chen Huaian hadn't raised an army to rebel, why would the Zhongshan Palace and even the current Queen Mother be in the current situation?

Therefore, when Luo Yucheng came to visit and announced that he was the special envoy of King Chen Huaian of Jin Dynasty, and came specially to visit King Su Muchen of Zhongshan, it immediately aroused the vigilance of the servants of the palace.

On the one hand, he hurriedly reported the matter to the prince, but on the other hand, he also acted like he was killing the chicken with a knife, fearing that the special envoy of King Jin who went to the palace of Zhongshan alone was the assassin of King Zhongshan.

For Luo Yucheng, who was sitting firmly in the meeting hall, he had already expected the excessive reaction of the people under the Zhongshan Prince's Palace.

Ever since he became the special envoy of the King of Jin to visit Jiangnan, he had experienced this kind of scene several times. He had even experienced the scene where a dead soldier raised by the royal palace put a steel knife on his neck.

But for Luo Yucheng, who was once the deputy commander of the Dragon City Internal Guard, these were trivial scenes that he was not afraid of at all.

Luo Yucheng's confidence lies not only because of the power of the Jin Dynasty, but also because he has been in charge of the internal defense of Longcheng in the Jiangnan area;

Eye spies and spies from Dragon City's internal guards have already been placed in various royal palaces in the Jiangnan region.

Take the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion as an example. There are at least three people in this residence who are spies of the Dragon City inner guard, including two private soldiers of the Prince's Mansion and one servant.

When necessary, these people are Luo Yucheng's guarantee for his escape.

Because of this, he was able to leisurely sip hot tea in the palace of the palace, without any fear in the face of the eager servants of the palace.

"The King of Zhongshan has arrived!"

At this moment, an announcement from the palace servants suddenly came from outside the door of the meeting hall. Su Muchen, the King of Zhongshan, had arrived.

The next moment, the two wooden doors of the palace meeting hall were violently kicked open from the outside.

The first ones to break in were a group of royal soldiers armed with swords and fully armed.

The moment he entered the door, he was surrounded by Luo Yucheng who was sitting in the guest seat enjoying tea.

"Chen Huaian, the traitor and traitor, is so brave!"

At this time, Su Muchen, the king of Zhongshan, dressed in white, finally strode angrily into the meeting hall, and angrily shouted at Luo Yucheng, who was the special envoy of the King of Jin: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Facing Su Muchen's death threat, Luo Yucheng remained as steady as an old dog.

After he slowly finished the last sip of hot tea, he stood up and saluted Su Muchen: "Little man Luo Yucheng, please see the prince!"

Su Muchen's eyes kept rolling around in his eye sockets, and his brain was working fast.

To be honest, he was a little unsure of the intention of Jin Wang Chen Huaian to send a special envoy to visit.

In addition, the guy in front of him, Luo Yucheng, was so confident that he made Su Muchen suspicious.

In the end, he had to pretend to be a prince and continue the show.

Humph!

Su Muchen snorted coldly and said, "You are quite courageous. You are about to die, but you still pretend to be reckless in front of me;"

"Come on, drag him out and chop him up!"

Su Muchen gave an order, and immediately the swordsmen of the palace came forward and pretended to grab Luo Yucheng and drag him out.

"Your Majesty, when two countries are at war, they still don't kill envoys!"

Luo Yucheng said slowly: "Even if Your Majesty wants to kill me, don't you have to listen to why I'm here?"

Oh?

Su Muchen frowned, and then said: "Then I'll listen to why you're here. If you can't explain it, I'll kill you!"

"You all, retreat!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
