Chapter 840: Mission
Li Xun couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard the prince's words. At this moment, he even thought of tearing the prince's body into pieces.
But he can't do anything to the prince yet, if he does something to the prince now, it will be an assassination of the prince.
He had to calm down and think about countermeasures.
At this moment, Li Xun was very fortunate that the prince, a fool, had told him the news at the first time, and he still had a lot of time to turn the situation around.
After Li Xun forcibly resisted the urge to kill the prince, he returned to his slightly old palace without saying a word.
He had to start getting ready.
Although the twelve guards in the capital now have eyeliners, there are only three who can really use their fingers.
Although it sounds like only a quarter, it is quite terrifying to be able to develop and master such terrifying power under the eyes of the emperor in the capital.
However, even if there are three guards, it is quite difficult to complete the coup d'état. During the day, it is impossible to be constrained by various forces, and at night, even if his men can surround the imperial city, as long as they fail to break through the defense of the imperial city overnight For defenses such as the city gates and walls, the forbidden army outside the city will kill them at dawn, and everyone will die at that time.
But now things are at a critical moment. If there is no turning point at the last moment, some things must be done if they are not done!
At this moment, his confidant Wu Xuan sent him a letter of information, the information he got from Honglu Temple, the name of Xu Qing was among the missions sent by Chu State to Zhou State this time. , and still came as an envoy.
This gave Li Xun another glimmer of hope.
Brother Xu is resourceful and resourceful, even in the Chu country, he was able to win over a century-old family like the Yang family for himself. If he combined his wisdom, he might not be able to make it to that point.
Anding Hou Mansion
Xu Qing lay on the bed and shook Su Qian who was still sleeping soundly in her arms: "Lady, it's time to get up, the mission is leaving today."
Su Qian pulled Xu Qing's hand away, shrank her head into Xu Qing's arms, and murmured: "Sleep a little longer, I haven't slept enough..."
Seeing Su Qian who was so lazy, Xu Qing couldn't help but feel a little funny, hugged her tightly with both hands and asked, "How long will you sleep again?"
Su Qian didn't even bother to open her eyes, and said vaguely; "Half an hour..."
Xu Qing calculated the time and said, "Okay, then half an hour."
To say that Su Qian is also tormenting people, after three years of marriage, Xu Qing knows Su Qian thoroughly, of course, this is talking about personality traits.
As much as Su Qian can toss about at night, she can be as lazy in the morning.
With the way Su Qian is still clinging to Xu Qing's arms all day long, not wanting to wake up and just wanting to sleep, it can be seen that Su Qian must have struggled a lot yesterday.
Of course, time passes quickly when a person is in a dazed state of falling asleep, not to mention half an hour is an hour, it also flies by in the blink of an eye.
But after an hour passed, Su Qian was still unwilling to let go.
Xu Qing poked Su Qian's face again: "My lady... Ning'er is crying from hunger, why don't you get up?"
When Su Qian heard Xu Qing's words, she reluctantly let go of her arms and got up slowly.
She pulled the quilt and sat up, looked at Xu Qing with sleepy eyes, and then looked around. Her still-awake head was struggling to think about where she left her bellyband last night.
...
After Xu Qing had the last meal with his family, he entered the palace. Su Qian also gave him a letter, which was a letter from Su Qian to Li Mingyue.
Xu Qing didn't open it to read it, it's a secret between women, and the letter is sealed with wax.
In a wide square in the palace, Xu Qing saw the mission this time.
The official envoy was him, and the deputy envoy was Xiao Ye. Of course, the chief guard of this trip, the captain of the security team, was still Xiao Ye.
Poor Xiao Ye will always have a part-time job as a security captain no matter what position he holds. I'm afraid he himself is used to Xiao Ye's appearance.
Xu Qing actually didn't expect Xiao Ye to go, he thought Xiao Ye would focus on making a son at home.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye in surprise and said, "Brother Xiao is going too?"
Xiao Ye sighed and said, "I didn't want to go at first, but I can't help it. If I'm too free at home, it's easy to be jealous."
Xu Qing patted Xiao Ye's shoulder and said: "Same sickness, pity each other, pity each other."
Obviously, Xiao Ye didn't really want to be the deputy envoy this time, he was more enthusiastic about making a son than the deputy envoy.
Xu Qing is different from Xiao Ye, Xu Qing does not have an obsession with her son like Xiao Ye, she has been keen on making sons since she was a child, Xu Qing is only passionate about the process of creation, it doesn't matter if a son is not a son.
He was deeply influenced by the teachers at the time. The result is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to enjoy the process.
But now the two may not be able to create results nor enjoy the process for several months, because they are about to represent the state of Chu as an envoy to the state of Zhou.
This trip to the state of Zhou had to go north all the way, passing through many mountains. Although Xu Qing encouraged the people from Rivers and Lakes to suppress bandits, since the state of Chu had a military campaign, these people from Rivers and Lakes were obviously more keen to serve the country.
After all, everyone knows how good a civil servant is.
And Zhou Guo imitated Chu's practice and began to conduct military elections to select talents, and the cause of suppressing bandits also fell into a trough. Most of them take time out to practice, and only when they have no money will they play the idea of a dozen bandits.
In other words, Zhao Guo was not affected and supported the suppression of bandits. Anyway, Zhao Guo did not use martial arts.
But it is obvious that the biggest banditry in the Zhao Kingdom is now King Ming, and the major Rivers and Lakes people in the Zhao Kingdom are trembling...
Therefore, the suppression of bandits among the Three Kingdoms has not actually achieved any good results.
Besides, banditry is endless, and in some places even officials and bandits colluded.
Nowadays, there are still many places in Chu State that suffer from banditry, but fortunately, these bandits and bandits are also considered robbers.
When the caravan met someone who robbed the road, they gave some money and they passed.
Even if you go to the village to collect the annual grain, you go there once a year, and if there are bandits from outside who force you to pay the annual grain, these bandits will not sit idly by.
Rivers and Lakes is not about fighting and killing, it is about the world.
Xiao Ye and Xu Qing had already set off with the mission, with a thousand shadow guards as retinues, not to mention bandits robbing the way, even the regular army would not be afraid.
Not long after setting off, Xiao Ye became dishonest. He looked at Xu Qing who was sitting next to him and asked, "Brother Xu, will we encounter many bandits along the way?"
Xu Qing looked at the map while riding a horse and said, "It looks like this from the route on the map, but brother Xiao, don't worry, no bandits who don't have eyesight will come to snatch us."
Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "Brother Xu misunderstood, I'm not afraid that they will come to snatch it."
Xu Qing wondered: "Then what are you afraid of, Brother Xiao?"
Xiao Ye said: "I'm afraid they won't come to snatch it."
