Chapter 31: The Wolf's Ambition
It was windy and snowy. Outside the door of the post house, Bai Yu hesitated.
In his arms, he held an alliance letter. The words on it made his chest feel hot. Thinking about how to persuade Lu Chengfeng for a while, he felt panicked.
"Is this noble gentleman Gong Ziyu? Is he the little emperor's grandson Lu Chengfeng who is here to visit Dajing?"
A man wearing a black cloak covering himself from head to toe suddenly appeared behind Bai Yu and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, how do you know?"
Bai Yu said in surprise.
"Please give Gong Ziyu a chance to speak."
The man politely led Bai Yu into a noble carriage with a mysterious road.
"I am the envoy sent by His Highness King Kang, the third prince of Jingguo. I would like to express my regards to Gong Ziyu on behalf of His Highness King Kang."
The man in black bowed his head and bowed his head to Young Master Yu, patting his chest on the chest in accordance with the etiquette of Northern Duan Kingdom.
"His Royal Highness King Kang? If I remember correctly, your Emperor Jingguo is seriously ill. His Royal Highness King Xuan, the legitimate son of the Queen, should be in charge of Jingguo now! How could he be King Kang?"
Bai Yu frowned, his heart full of doubts, and he said warily.
"Well, Gong Ziyu heard you right. I am from His Highness Prince Kang. Now His Highness Prince Xuan is usurping power and intends to take the opportunity to seize the throne. Please give Gong Ziyu a helping hand to our Highness Prince Kang! To show your sincerity, our Highness is willing to use a city in exchange!
"
The man in black quickly took out a secret letter from his pocket and highlighted it with a fire pen, and then the handwriting on it slowly became highlighted.
"What? Your King Kang asked me to help him attack Jinghua City? Is he going to rebel?"
Bai Yu exclaimed.
"Someone is holding the emperor hostage in Jinghua City to order the princes! Our Highness, Prince Kang, is only doing this to protect the Qing Emperor! After the matter is completed, we are willing to transfer Yanzhou City! I wonder what Young Master Yu wants?"
The man in black's eyes were filled with cold light and he spoke in a sinister way.
"Yanzhou City! Your King Kang is actually willing to cede Yanzhou City!"
Bai Yu was shocked again and exclaimed.
"How about it? A Yanzhou city is enough to show the sincerity of our Highness, right? If Gong Ziyu agrees, I will take the words back to Yanzhou immediately."
The man in black smiled happily, but his face still felt gloomy.
"What if I don't agree?"
Bai Yu said coldly and proudly.
"If you don't agree, I'm afraid I'll never see your mother again in this life!"
The man in black made a proud sound and said with a smile.
"What? Mother? Did you find my mother? King Kang captured my mother?"
When Bai Yu heard the word "mother", he immediately felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. He was so anxious that he could only let others slaughter him.
"Of course! If you want your mother to live, just do as I say!"
The voice of the man in black was like a cold arrow shot from behind, killing people without warning.
"Why should I trust you? How dare you pretend to be my mother if you catch anyone? My mother has been missing for many years, and I have searched all over the world but can't find any news about her! How could you find her so easily?
I do not believe!"
Bai Yu flatly refused.
"Then Gongziyu, please look at what this is!"
The man took out another silver hairpin from his arms.
It was an inconspicuous silver hairpin, the style was simple and unpretentious, even a little old. The top of the silver hairpin was in the shape of a kingfisher, and the green dots used for the eyes were already mottled.
It’s really my mother’s hairpin! Bai Yu recognizes it!
The kingfisher's appearance is simple but unique! The mottled emerald eye has a small scratched corner on it, which was accidentally scratched by Bai Yu when he was playing with it when he was a child.
"Mother! Mother! What did you do to my mother?"
Bai Yu exchanged tears in tears in an instant. He excitedly grabbed the collar of the man in black and said angrily.
"Then it depends on how Gong Ziyu is doing! If you are willing to cooperate obediently, our Highness, Prince Kang, promises to treat your mother well! If you are unwilling to cooperate, I am afraid that the two of you, mother and son, will be separated forever.
!”
The man in black said with a sinister smile.
My mother is still alive! That’s good! After traveling through thousands of rivers and mountains, I’m finally going to meet her! As long as she’s still alive, that’s fine!
The hope that had long been extinguished in Bai Yu's heart was rekindled.
"Okay! Whatever you ask me to do! I promise you! But you must return my mother to me safe and sound!"
Bai Yu stroked himself because he was overly excited.
He responded with his chest rising and falling violently.
The letter of alliance that had been prepared for a long time had not had time to see the moonlight tonight, so it could only die silently.
"Very good! It's refreshing enough! Gong Ziyu only needs to tear up the alliance letter! Then, obey your father's order and lead your northern army to attack Yanzhou City! When you arrive at Yanzhou City, you will naturally be able to see the person you miss day and night.
mother!"
The man in black clapped his hands and said.
"But I have already promised my father to negotiate peace with Jingguo! How could I go back on my promise like this!"
Bai Yu struggled hard and said. He really didn't want to see bloodshed and killing again.
"Oh? Do you think that Lu Chengfeng will really accept your peace alliance letter? Can he deliver it to Jinghua City for you intact? Even if this alliance letter is really delivered to King Xuan,
Do you think he will submit obediently? I'm afraid he will get angry and use the power of the entire country to resist!"
The man in black said with a cold eyebrow.
Seeing Bai Yu motionless and lost in thought, his heart seemed to be in violent turmoil, swaying unsteadily.
The man in black stroked Bai Yu's back twice with a big palm and said warmly:
"Gong Ziyu, you have to know that only our Highness, Prince Kang, is a good friend of you Beiduan people."
In fact, what the man in black said was exactly what Bai Yu was worried about.
In Tianji Palace, in order to get rid of the war, Bai Yu just had an idea and made an expedient. As for Lu Chengfeng, it might be difficult to convince him. Bai Yu was hesitant just now because he was still thinking about how to face it.
He has heard of King Xuan. He is a fierce warrior and will never give up! At this moment, he must be planning how to fight to the end with Beiduan! Avenge the previous shame!
"How's it going? Gong Ziyu, how have you considered it? If I were you, I would readily agree! Think about it, you can save the mother you have been looking for for so many years, and you can also be given a city.
For you, this is a great achievement for nothing! It is much easier than those who throw their heads and blood on the battlefield to kill the enemy!"
The man in black continued to follow the tempting path. Seeing that he was silent, he changed his angle and said coercively:
Chapter completed!
