Chapter 92 Why Not Let Xiaobai Stay and Take Care of Me?

Lu Chen finally accepted Qin Yushan's suggestion and wrote a letter to Emperor Xia directly.

He first cried to Emperor Xia about how bad the environment in Beijun was in the letter, and then pretended to ask for help in the letter, hoping that Emperor Xia could send a large army to help him resist the barbarians as soon as possible.

At the end of the letter, Lu Chen mentioned that he had recently accidentally discovered that many iron tools that only Daxia had appeared on the grassland.

Finally, Lu Chen pretended to be very aggrieved and complained in the letter, saying that the caravans of the Eighth Prince had often appeared in Beijun recently, and relying on the support of the Eighth Prince, they often did not pay the toll. He hoped that Emperor Xia could punish the Eighth Prince and let him not be so arrogant. It would be best if he could pay the tolls of the caravans in his hands.

The image shown in Lu Chen's letter was that of a coward who was afraid of death and looked like a coward, which was similar to the image of greed for pleasure and ignorance that he had always shown.

And he didn't directly say in this family letter that the salt and iron of the barbarians came from the eighth prince, but he believed that Emperor Xia would be able to see what he was talking about.

After all, his father was an old hand, and it was impossible for him not to see this hint.

After writing the family letter, Lu Chen planned to ask Qin Yushan to send someone to deliver it to the capital in an emergency.

But at this time, Qin Yushan said again: "Prince, you can't just send a family letter, you also have to write an urgent war report about the barbarian movements and send it to the capital."

"It just so happens that our people have discovered that the soldiers of the Northern Xian King have gathered at the royal court of the Sirius King. There is no problem using the Red Silk Messenger for this information."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is it so troublesome?"

Qin Yushan said: "If you just send a family letter, this family letter cannot be delivered to His Majesty in the first time, but if you take advantage of the opportunity of the Red Silk Messenger to deliver the war report, the messenger can directly deliver this family letter and the war report to His Majesty at the same time."

Although Lu Chen wrote a family letter, it also needs to go through some procedures to deliver it to the emperor.

It is not so easy for anything to enter the palace.

But the emergency war report is different. In Daxia, the war report of the red silk messenger must be delivered to the emperor as soon as possible. No one is allowed to stop it. Even if the emperor is still sleeping, he must wake up the emperor.

Lu Chen also understood Qin Yushan's meaning. He then wrote another war report and hoped that the court could send troops as soon as possible.

After writing both things, Qin Yushan immediately arranged for the red silk messenger to send Lu Chen's family letter and war report to the capital.

At this time, Lu Chen sat in the study, looking at the map on the table, and fell into silence.

After the letter was delivered to the capital, his father would most likely ask Bai Qingqing, the deputy commander of the shadow guard, to investigate the affairs of the barbarians in Beijun. At that time, he could just use it and let Bai Qingqing send some evidence of the eighth prince colluding with the barbarians.

Of course, it is not easy to collect evidence that the eighth prince and the noble family colluded with the barbarians.

After all, the evidence is with the barbarians.

Therefore, the most important thing they have to do now is to defeat the barbarians. Only in this way can they obtain evidence from the barbarians that Lu Shuyun is colluding with the barbarians.

At that time, those evidences can become an excuse for Emperor Xia to deal with the aristocratic family.

As for what will happen to the eighth prince and the aristocratic family in the end, Lu Chen doesn't care at all.

These guys are unkind and unjust first, so don't blame him.

Just as Lu Chen was staring at the map in a daze, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Chen came back to his senses, "The door is not locked, come in."

The next moment, Chu Yuqin pushed the door and entered the study.

Seeing Chu Yuqin's graceful figure, the seriousness on Lu Chen's face was swept away, and he asked with a smile: "Aunt Chu, do you want to talk to me?"

Chu Yuqin said: "Chen'er, this time you plan to let those people in the palace go south to Anping City?"

"You have to keep some people around to take care of you, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Why not let Xiaobai stay to take care of me?"

Hearing Lu Chen mentioned Bai Qingqing, Chu Yuqin glanced at Lu Chen dimly, and she knew that Lu Chen would choose Bai Qingqing.

First of all, Bai Qingqing has certain strength, and Bai Qingqing has just come to the palace. Although Lu Chen and Bai Qingqing have known each other since childhood, after all, the two have been separated for so many years, which is a certain freshness for Lu Chen.

And Bai Qingqing looks more cold and beautiful, Lu Chen must like her body very much.

Chu Yuqin then asked: "Is it just her?"

"You don't plan to keep that foxy girl from Baihualou by your side?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was silent for a moment.

Chu Yuqin continued, "The third assassination attempt in the Blood Moon Tower has failed. I'm afraid the Eighth Prince has also noticed Wang Qingci's abnormality. In my opinion, there is no need for her to stay in the Hundred Flowers Tower any longer."

"Why not arrange for her to be your slave girl and serve you in the palace every day?"

"And she is also quite strong. She may be able to protect you at a critical moment."

Chu Yuqin thought to herself that Wang Qingci was at least a ninth-rank warrior. If she stayed close to Lu Chen, she would be a good meat shield if Lu Chen was in danger.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "No need. Let her go with you to Anping City."

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Chu Yuqin confirmed, "Are you really leaving Xiaobai alone?"

Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Xiaobai is enough."

"And I'm also worried that if I'm not in Anping City, then that beast in the capital will send people to come and cause trouble for you. Wang Qingci is a half-step master. With her, Zixuan and the others' safety will be guaranteed."

Chu Yuqin was a little surprised when she heard Lu Chen's words.

Wang Qingci is already a half-step master?

Wouldn't that be the same as my own realm?

When she thought of this, Chu Yuqin always felt a little unhappy. She had always felt uncomfortable seeing that foxy girl.

Lu Chen's wives and concubines all respected him, but the foxy one always came up to her and said things like "The prince is so powerful" and "The prince can make people fly".

It seemed that in that Hu Meizi's view, she was Lu Chen's woman just like her, so she spoke so unscrupulously in front of him.

If it wasn't for Lu Chen's sake, she would have taken action against Wang Qingci.

After Chu Yuqin came back to her senses, she sighed and said: "Chen'er, I won't ask you more questions about what you want to do, but I still want to remind you that if you are really in danger, you really can't resist the barbarians. If we attack, just run south."

"The current situation in the capital is relatively turbulent. Your Majesty will most likely not send too many soldiers northward. The only one you can rely on is yourself. Even if you fail to defend Beijun, the people of Daxia will not laugh at you. At least you took the initiative to fight against the barbarians. "

Lu Chen's image in the hearts of the people has hit rock bottom. Even if he really abandons Beijun and runs away, the people of Daxia won't be surprised.

On the contrary, Lu Chen's decisive battle with the barbarians in Yancheng would make the people think that King Bei still had some backbone, and his image in the hearts of the people could rebound.

Hearing Chu Yuqin's reminder, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, Aunt Chu, I still cherish my life. If I really can't defeat the barbarians, I know what to do."

Seeing what Lu Chen said, Chu Yuqin didn't say anything more. She turned around and said, "Okay, I'll go on patrol first. You can do your work."

After finishing her words, Chu Yuqin turned and left the study.

Two days later.

The entrance to the palace.

The convoy heading south from the palace was ready. Lu Chen stood at the door of the palace and said goodbye to his wives and concubines one by one.
