Riding the Pheonix Chapter 732: Ransom

Xuan Fei nodded affirmatively and said: "Pindao was beside His Highness Prince An at that time, and he did hear the military orders. On this trip out of the capital, Pindao protected His Highness under the holy order and never left. If it weren't for the purpose of seducing How can you sail away from the Chu army's warship lightly?"

The Imperial Master personally testified that this amount is enough.

Meng Chong could not explain clearly: "But this general has indeed never issued this military order, and I have soldiers around me to testify!"

Oh, my soldiers...

The crowd’s gazes are intriguing.

The personal soldier must speak for the general, but the weight of this witness is not as great as that of the Imperial Preceptor. After all, King An was lost, and his responsibilities were also heavy.

Even Cao Xian's eyes became subtle. Meng Chongke expressed his dissatisfaction with His Royal Highness the King of Yue in front of him more than once.

Meng Chong could only insist: "I can swear to God, but I just asked the deputy general to avoid it. The messenger... yes! The messenger can testify!"

"General!" his soldiers whispered, "the messenger is also on that ship."

Disappeared together.

"..." Meng Chong knew for the first time what it meant to be full of words.

"What's the point of talking about this anymore?" In the end, it was Yang Shu who came to his rescue. "The most important thing now is to get Uncle Sanhuang back and stop talking about such trivial matters."

Then he looked kindly and said to Meng Chong: "General Meng said no, that means no. There must have been some mistake. We will discuss it in detail after we rescue the person."

Meng Chong breathed a sigh of relief and could no longer be cold-faced. He could only nod his head and said: "Yes, it is important to save His Highness Prince An first, and we will discuss the rest later."

……

The people sent out by Meng Chong failed to find King An in the end.

Two days later, the Chu envoy arrived in front of the Qi army in a small boat.

He said: "His Royal Highness King An of your country accidentally broke into our army's formation. Fortunately, our soldiers rescued him and is now safe and sound. On behalf of the Duke, I have sent this officer as an envoy to report to your country that he is safe."

Meng Chong wanted to curse.

How fortunate that our soldiers rescued you, how shameless!

But the diplomatic relationship between the two countries is about being shameless. The Chu envoy did not blush at all and looked at him with a smile.

Meng Chong could only suppress his temper and ask him to come up and speak.

The envoys from Chu came and left quickly.

He only spoke a few words, left a letter, waved his sleeves, and left in the boat.

Yang Shu and others entered the room and saw Meng Chong kicking the table leg off and losing his temper.

He asked Cao Xian: "General Cao, what conditions did they put forward?"

Cao Xian pointed to the letter calmly.

Yang Shu picked it up and read: "Ten counties in the southeast, one thousand horses, two hundred thousand taels of silver..."

"What a loud tone!" Meng Chong was furious, "Forget about asking for money, you also want land!"

Yang Shu thought to himself, it would be strange if the Chu State did not want the land. After finally robbing an important person, of course the lion opened his mouth.

"General Meng, what are you going to do?"

"Of course..." Meng Chong was about to speak, but suddenly thought of it, and immediately changed his tone, "Of course I have to ask His Highness the King of Yue to report. King An was robbed, and you are now the highest-ranking one among us."

Yang Shu would not be fooled by this, and said: "I came here because of my meritorious service, and I am not the commander of the army. Of course, it is you who make the decision."

Meng Chong wanted to strangle him to death when he saw this weird look. This boy is so cunning! After these days here, I can't find any clues. If His Highness Prince An has such a scheme, what else do I have to worry about?

But what he said was correct. He could only take a deep breath and look at Cao Xian: "Old General Cao, look..."

Cao Xian glanced at him slowly and said, "I made an agreement with General Meng on the first day I came here. I am old and frail, and I am no longer what I used to be. Your Majesty ordered me to assist His Highness Prince An. In order to repay the saint's grace, I can only come here with a handful of old bones. I can handle this war, but it is mainly General Meng who carries the heavy burden."

Meng Chong: "..."

That was indeed the case, and he was still happy at the time. Needless to say, King An was in name only, but Cao Xian was the commander-in-chief sent by the imperial court, and his status was above him.

Meng Chong was in the prime of his life. He was ambitious and experienced, and the main naval force was his subordinates. How could he give in? I was originally thinking about how to isolate Cao Xian, but when the old man came, he said something like this to him, implying that he only needed a part of the credit.

Meng Chong was overjoyed and took over the matter immediately. I have been in high spirits these past few days, how could I have imagined that something like this would happen?

Damn it, the King of Yue is a little treacherous, and this old man is an old treacherous one!

He wants to share the credit, and if something goes wrong now, let him take the blame!

Meng Chong was extremely uncomfortable. He looked up at the old man and the young man, with two faces that said, "If anything happens, you'll have to worry about it."

"Okay!" He deserved this voice with great sadness, "I will go ahead and ask your Majesty to make the decision..."

Meng Chong called his retainers and started writing the memorial, when Yang Shu spoke slowly: "General Meng, if you are willing to believe me, please wait three days before speaking."

Meng Chong looked at him in surprise: "What does His Highness the King of Yue mean by these words?"

"Of course I mean to help you." Yang Shu winked at him, "Now that we are sure that Uncle Sanhuang is in their hands, isn't there a way to rescue him?"

Meng Chong said in confusion: "It's not that I have never thought about rescue, but His Highness also saw the fog that day. The other party's magic is so superb, how can we rescue His Highness Prince An safe and sound?"

Yang Shu twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Xuanfei, who had been silent all the time: "Exotic skills? We have the Imperial Master here. Isn't different skills our forte?"

"But the Imperial Master didn't find out that day..."

Meng Chong stopped talking. The name of Xuan Du Guan was very loud, but because of the previous incident, Meng Chong didn't really believe in Xuan Fei's ability.

Xuan Fei suddenly raised his head. Without saying a word, he flicked his fingers and threw something out.

Meng Chong felt a pain in his neck and was surrounded by thick fog.

Hearing the snap of fingers again, the thick fog suddenly dissipated, and he found himself...standing on the rafters!

Meng Chong was shocked ~IndoMTL.com~ and almost fell down.

Yang Shu's voice came: "General Meng, now you should believe in the strength of the Imperial Master? It was an accident that day, and someone plotted it. Now that we are well prepared, we are afraid that we will not be able to save the three of us. Imperial uncle?"

Meng Chong jumped down, his legs still shaking a little. He looked at Xuan Fei, hesitated for a long time, and asked: "What kind of magic is this? This mist can actually transport people? It's so mysterious!"

Xuan Fei smiled faintly and did not answer. He only said: "General Meng can write the memorial and wait for three days. If we fail to rescue King An after three days, we will send it out immediately."

"Okay!" Meng Chong exhaled, filled with hope, "Then wait three more days."

If I can save King An, I don’t have to apologize.

The matter was settled, Yang Shu and others left the meeting hall.

Cao Xian followed them out, and when passing by them, he said slowly: "Master, what a skill!"

He was also in the room just now and could see clearly.

Actually, there was no fog at all just now.

Meng Chong was thrown up.

Xuanfei seemed to have hit him with something, and he briefly lost consciousness. When he woke up, he didn't realize that he had been missing for such a short period of time.

Xuan Fei smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, old general, for the compliment."
