Chapter 614 614 Rumor, something happened to Yanbei
The return journey went smoothly, so smoothly that it was hard to believe. Xiao Jiuan and Ji Yunkai once thought that the emperor had become wiser and knew that Zhang Chi had some temperament and understood that now was not the time to kill Xiao Jiuan or cause trouble for Xiao Jiuan.
However, just when Ji Yunkai thought they could enter the city safely, bad news came.
"Your Majesty, Beichen has declared war on Tianqi and sent troops to attack Yanbei." The person who brought the news was not someone from the military, but Xiao Jiuan's secret guard.
"When did it happen?" Xiao Jiuan's expression remained unchanged, but anyone who knew him well knew that he was very unhappy at the moment.
When the two countries are at war, the fastest news is definitely not private information like secret guards, but news from the military, but...
He did not receive any military news related to Yan Bei and Beichen.
"Beichen declared war three days ago and suddenly sent out troops without any warning. Our news came out, but we were stopped halfway, and the court did not receive the news." The secret guard reported truthfully.
"Didn't you receive the news?" Xiao Jiu'an couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the emperor and Xiao Shiqing's actions in Yanbei.
That stupid woman Xiao Shiqing even gave up Yanbei's foundation in order to seize power. She is simply stupid and ignorant.
"There is no movement from the court, as if they don't know about this." If Xiao Jiu'an is in Yanbei, it doesn't matter whether the court knows about Beichen sending troops. Xiao Jiuan will send troops himself, but...
Not now, Xiao Jiuan is in the capital now, the court has not received any news, and the court has not issued an order, so Xiao Jiuan cannot easily return to Yanbei.
If the imperial court insists that Beichen has not sent troops to Yanbei and Xiao Jiuan is not allowed to return to Yanbei, but Xiao Jiuan insists on returning to Yanbei, in the eyes of many people, he is provoking the imperial court and disobeying the decree.
Moreover, Xiao Jiuan arrived in the capital and was in the capital. It would not be difficult for the emperor to keep him for a few days.
On the battlefield, a few days are enough to turn the tide of the battle and change the direction of a battle.
"Who is Beichen leading the troops?" Now that he heard such big news, Xiao Jiuan was also very calm, so calm that others could not help but calm down.
"It's the eldest prince of Beichen, Beichen Tianque." Calculating the time, Beichen Tianque should not have returned to Beichen Imperial Capital, but went directly to the border to mobilize troops to attack Yanbei.
It can be seen that this was a premeditated war, but there was no movement at all in advance.
"Beichen Tianque, he is really not afraid of death." Xiao Jiuan was not surprised when he heard Beichen Tianque's name.
In Beichen, only the royal family had the ability to mobilize troops without alerting Liu Yuan.
Similarly, in Tianqi, only the royal family had the ability to hide the movements on the border and receive news about the Yanbei military.
In order to eliminate his people and consume his power, the emperor actually ignored the situation in Yanbei and allowed the Yanbei royal army to die. He felt that he was inferior to this ruthlessness.
"Your Majesty, in addition, there are some discordant voices in the army. Some people say that you..." The secret guard paused and glanced at Xiao Jiu'an quietly. Seeing Xiao Jiu'an's face was calm, he swallowed his saliva and said: "Military
There is a rumor in the media that you are not the son of the late prince, and you are not similar to the late prince, the late princess and Princess Shiqing."
This is indeed a fact. Xiao Jiuan is nothing like a member of the Xiao family. The Xiao family has been in Yanbei for hundreds of years and has been passed down for several generations. Not only does each generation look the same, but under the strong genes of the Xiao family, each generation is more or less
At least they are somewhat similar.
Only Xiao Jiu'an is not similar to the Xiao family at all, and she is not similar to Princess Shiqing's twin sister at all. It is impossible to tell that they are twins.
On the contrary, Princess Shiqing is somewhat similar to the former prince and princess. Moreover, Princess Shiqing has been growing up in King Yanbei and has never left Yanbei before growing up. She is full of the Xiao family of Yanbei.
of imprint.
Xiao Jiuan was different. Back then... the prince of Yanbei Palace was kidnapped and his whereabouts were unknown. Later, it was said that he was rescued, but he had not been seen in public for more than ten years. No one knew what he looked like or where he was.
Life.
Even during those more than ten years, the first Princess Yanbei had not seen her son. It was not until there was a crisis in the Yanbei Palace that Xiao Jiuan appeared in the air and was recognized by the Yanbei King. Everyone knew that this was the eldest son of the Yanbei Palace.
After the secret guard finished speaking, he waited for a few seconds and saw that Xiao Jiu'an had not spoken. He quietly raised his head and glanced at him. Seeing that Xiao Jiu'an was not angry or angry, the secret guard breathed a long sigh of relief.
He just finished saying, how could their prince not be from the Xiao family of Yanbei? Their prince was wise, mighty, noble and majestic. He was not raised by ordinary people at all. To say that their prince was the prince and emperor of a country, they
Believe it all.
Xiao Jiuan lowered his eyes, covering up the emotions in his eyes, and asked: "Apart from this, is there any other news?"
He believed that if Xiao Shiqing really wanted to take action, or the emperor really wanted to take action, it would be impossible to just spread such a few specious messages.
"There are also rumors...that the late prince was killed by you for the purpose of seizing power." The secret guard lowered his head and suppressed the anger in his heart.
After finishing speaking, seeing that Xiao Jiuan was not angry, he continued: "Princess Shiqing's people are still spreading propaganda everywhere, saying that Lord Shiqing's whereabouts are unknown, and maybe he was poisoned by you."
The secret guard's professionalism requires him to report information fairly and impartially, but...
It is really despicable to spread this news.
The late prince was seriously injured on the battlefield and died of his injuries. How could it be that their prince had killed the late prince?
Moreover, if their princes had not appeared in time to turn the tide, there would have been no Yanbei and no Yanbei army.
There is also the matter of Princess Shiqing, which makes the secret guards even more angry.
Anyone who is well-informed can find out that Princess Shiqing is really missing. They know that Princess Shiqing is cooperating with the emperor, but others don't know.
Others may really think that Princess Shiqing was killed by their prince, or that she was hidden.
"Shiqing, I have underestimated her." Xiao Jiuan shook his head, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
Although he and Shiqing are not brother and sister, he thinks that he has taken care of Shiqing and protected Shiqing over the years. Even if Shiqing colluded with the emperor, he did not order Shiqing's life. But what happened to Shiqing?
Pay him back?
Shiqing was really becoming more and more disappointed with her.
The secret guard lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
He wanted to comfort the prince, saying that Princess Shiqing might not know about this, but he couldn't tell him.
It is an ironclad fact that Princess Shiqing colluded with the emperor, and the emperor would not have been able to accomplish this matter without the secret help of Princess Shiqing.
Xiao Jiuan was angry at Shiqing for not living up to expectations and angry at Shiqing for being stupid, but getting angry at this time would not help.
At this moment, Yanbei is in civil strife, and Beichen's army is pressing down on the border. Yanbei must have someone in charge, and he must return to Yanbei as soon as possible... (To be continued)
