Chapter 1709 Let that Stinky Boy Come Back Quickly!

The frontier general was the closest to Dong Xiao, and he already knew that Qu Chuo was dead. Anyway, there was no proof of death, so he naturally lied like this, and he had already sent people 800 miles to rush to tell them about the Emperor Xue Yan, which would definitely not be revealed. .

I haven't seen Qu Xiao yet. Naturally, Dongxiao's army and horses will not be gullible. The army still hasn't retreated.

The generals of Daling's garrison were not in a hurry, and when the envoys sent people back to Dongxiao to report that they had indeed been found, these troops and horses would naturally retreat.

The Dongxiao Kingdom Mission did not know that Qu Xiao had found it until it was getting dark. It was getting dark, so it was not easy to rush to meet Qu Xiao with so many people. Therefore, it was not until the next morning. Just got up, when the large force Tang Tang passed through Xinyuan County in Yiran area, they met Qu Xiao at the post house.

At this time, Xue Yan already knew that Qu Chuo was dead, and what lie was lied by the frontier general, so he naturally told Qu Xiao.

Therefore, when Qu Xiao saw the envoys of the Dongxiao Kingdom, he naturally did not reveal anything.

When the envoys saw Qu Xiao, they were indeed in good condition, so they sent people back to Dongxiao to report safety. Among them, Xia Houzheng's people naturally asked his entourage to return to Dongxiao with a secret letter, and privately asked Xiahou Zheng what to do now and what instructions he had.

This will all come together, so the next day, it is natural to go to the Imperial Capital.

On April 27, Xia Houzheng was furious when he learned that Qu Xiao had been found.

But no matter whether he is angry or not, he has to withdraw the troops and horses on the border of Daling farther and stay where they were, otherwise Daling will have no reason to fight Dongxiao, and he has no intention of fighting Daling for the time being.

After all, now Dong Xiao is no match for Da Ling at all.

Then the border is no longer a situation of confrontation between the two countries.

But looking at the secret letter, Xiahou Zheng was still angry. Because the letter not only stated that the little emperor was not dead, but also said that the little emperor was rescued by Empress Daling, and now Empress Daling is with the little emperor.

When the retainer saw the letter, he said: "Fortunately, the prince is not in a hurry to sit on the throne, otherwise, what should Da Ling borrow troops and horses to kill the emperor back."

Xiahouzheng has become more and more domineering these days, and now he is angry, so naturally he can't listen to it, but he still asks: "Then according to your opinion, what should I do now?"

"When the emperor returns from his mission, the prince will assassinate the emperor again, and it will not be too late to ascend to the throne." A retainer still meant this. "At that time, even if Da Ling wanted to borrow troops, it was too late. At that time, because there was no one in the royal family, Wang Ye was persuaded by hundreds of officials to ascend to the throne, then you were the emperor of Dongxiao, and Da Ling wanted to send troops. It's completely unreasonable. Other countries must be afraid that Daling will attack suddenly and unreasonably one day. Naturally, they will become a rope with us and fight together. Even if Daling has cannons and gunpowder, and has a lot of troops and food, we don't need to. So fearful, this is the best plan."

Xia Houzheng had no choice but to say: "Then let that stinky boy Qu Xiao come back quickly."

So, he wrote a secret letter and had someone send it to his people in the embassy. Once the mission was over and the discussion in the imperial capital was over, Qu Xiao would immediately return to Dongxiao.

*

On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, Jiang Yue and the others arrived at the Imperial Capital.

As Emperor Daling, Xue Yan treated Qu Xiao, the Dongxiao Emperor, and let Qu Xiao live in the palace, while the other members of the embassy stayed in Guanyi.

This is actually to protect Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao was naturally grateful.

He had nothing to repay, and he didn't know how to repay, so he helped Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to take care of the little ancestor of Xue Yan's baby.
