Chapter 253 Wasted chess
"Miss Luo, you don't know that although we used An Luhai to avoid the court's constraints on the Northern Border Army, that was only part of it.
The court is controlled by five major families, who fight openly and covertly among themselves, but their attitude towards the North is the same, which is to rely on it but also be wary of it.
Years ago, the master was forced to go to Kyoto to mediate with many malicious forces because many people in the court opposed the establishment of a trade market. It was also at that time that the master rescued you from the imperial prison.
I said so much just to tell Miss Luo that the situation in the North is extremely difficult. If we lose An Luhai, this important chess piece, it will make the situation even worse. Even the establishment of a border city that the master has been planning for two years may encounter changes again.
Therefore, An Luhai cannot die!"
“Wei Lin, the king originally planned to bring An Luhai to justice after signing an alliance to establish a trade market for the sake of stability.
If spies from the imperial court come later, we can just find him out. Why do you have to protect An Luhai?" Chen Ji spoke gloomily, with a probing look on his face.
“But my Lord, the Northern Territory has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of the imperial court, and it took us a lot of effort to find out An Luhai’s information channel.
If we change the spy, I don’t know how long it will take to find out the information channel, and during this time, I don’t know how much information will be leaked in the North. "Wei Lin still insisted on his opinion.
"I think you don't need to argue about this issue anymore. In my opinion, An Luhai is not far from death!"
The sleeve of his left arm swayed slightly, and Li Heng walked in, interrupting the two men.
"Master Li, what do you mean?" Chen Ji asked.
"Grand Tutor?" Luo Xiaoran frowned. "Uncle Li, are you the prince's teacher? When Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne last year, you were still fleeing famine with me. How did you become the teacher of his prince's son?"
"Cai Cai, no, I should call you Xiao Ran now. I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind. I will explain them to you one by one later."
Luo Xiaoran was indeed full of question marks. She knew that Uncle Li and Chen'er had extraordinary backgrounds, but to be able to reach the level of the Crown Prince's Tutor, wasn't that too extraordinary?
"Do you still remember the assassination in Qingzhou?" Li Heng asked Luo Xiaoran.
"Of course I remember. We killed those assassins outside the city. You threw Chen'er to me and went back to Qingzhou saying that you were going to destroy their lair to prevent them from finding Chen'er and me."
Speaking of this, Luo Xiaoran was still a little angry, so she opened the microphone passionately:
"Do you know that Chen'er thought you had abandoned him and didn't want him anymore? He refused to talk for several months. The doctor said that he had a knot in his heart and needed your heart medicine to heal him!
Also, just now at Hulu Mountain, luckily you had self-awareness and knew how to hide secretly, so Chen'er didn't see you. He was already frightened, and suddenly seeing you appear, he must have been even more frightened.
Also, how did you lose your arm?
Are you just a boaster? You obviously don't have any martial arts skills, but you still have to fight against many people, and then you get your arm chopped off, or...
Or the knife you blocked for me, it was poisonous, you had to cut off your arm to slow down the spread of the poison..."
As she spoke, Luo Xiaoran's voice became choked with sobs. Uncle Li looked too decadent now, as if he would not live long.
She was really angry at Uncle Li for abandoning Chen'er, but she was also afraid that he came to find her and Chen'er because he was really about to die.
Li Heng's eyes were a little red. He wiped his face, then lowered his eyes to avoid Luo Xiaoran's gaze.
"After I destroyed their lair in Qingzhou, I was indeed seriously injured, so I stayed in the city to recuperate, thinking that I would go look for you and Chen'er after I recovered.
But soon, I discovered that someone was secretly monitoring me, and I couldn't get rid of it.
Yesterday I suggested to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan that my guess that the Princess had re-arranged her minions to infiltrate the northern border was not without basis.
Because the group of spies who followed me appeared almost suddenly after I destroyed their Qingzhou stronghold. Judging from the timing, they were basically new spies arranged in advance.
As far as I know, the princess has a habit. Once she rearranges a new spy dark network, the first thing she does is to unite the previous remnants and screen them one by one to see if there are any useless chess pieces that have not been noticed. An Luhai is such a useless chess piece.
Now that the princess has personally arrived in Yizhou, the reason An Luhai is still alive and well is simply because he has not been found yet. But that time is not far away. With the princess's methods, by then, there will be no An Luhai in the world anymore."
After listening to Li Heng's analysis, a bitter smile flashed across Chen Ji's face. He never expected that the little girl who had followed him around and clamored to learn espionage had grown to this point now.
"In that case, let's wait and see!"
Wei Lin now realized that his persistence was a joke. He immediately became discouraged and stood up from the ground and was about to walk outside.
"I will immediately go and get three hundred military sticks!"
"Wait a minute!" Luo Xiaoran rolled her eyes.
Do you have any common sense? After being beaten with three hundred sticks, can a person still survive?
"Your Majesty, although Lord Wei concealed the evil deeds of the An family father and son, causing them to kill many people over the years, his crime does not deserve death!"
"Miss Luo, there is no need to plead for me. Wei Lin did something wrong and he should pay with his life!" Wei Lin said sullenly.
"I just want to ask you to do me a favor," Luo Xiaoran said to Wei Lin, and then turned to look at Chen Ji, "Please ask the prince to send Lord Wei to my house to inform my family that Chen'er and Niu Dan have been found, so that they don't have to worry."
Wei Lin glanced at the Prince of Yan, and seeing that His Highness neither agreed nor objected, he could only reply: "Miss Luo can entrust this matter to anyone else in the palace, and they will definitely deliver the message, so Miss Luo can rest assured."
"But among these people, only you and His Royal Highness Prince Yan have been to my house together. Only if you go to deliver the message will my family believe it." Luo Xiaoran said as a matter of course.
Wei Lin lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Ji did not say anything. His pupils reflected Luo Xiaoran approaching him step by step, with a smile on her lips and her eyes looking at him intently.
"Your Highness, can you?"
"Ahem, okay." Chen Ji turned his face away.
His right hand stretched behind his back and clenched into a fist. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, like a green dragon lying dormant underground.
"Go ahead!" Chen Ji ordered Wei Lin.
"Then I will go and get the three hundred military sticks tomorrow." Wei Lin said this and retreated quietly without waiting for anyone to react.
This show made Luo Xiaoran's face turn black. Are the people in your palace so stubborn? Would you rather die than change your ways?
