MTL - Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child-Chapter 651 trap

  Chapter 651 Trap

  Finally Tang Guixi accepted Xiao Juan's proposal.

  She wrote a letter with her own hand, then tied the letter paper to the body of the arrow, and shot it in the open space in front of the earth wall.

  The Chen army scouts who had been hiding nearby and watching saw this, immediately ran over with their shields in hand, bent down to pick up the arrows, and ran away in a hurry.

  The arrow was handed over to Marshal Chen Jun intact.

  He unfolded the letter paper, and saw that it was covered with wild geese characters. He could barely recognize a few commonly used characters, and he couldn't understand the meaning of the full text even if he even guessed.

  He can only ask someone to call in an aide who understands wild goose characters.

  The staff quickly read the content in their minds, and then translated the content into Chen Guo dialect to tell the commander-in-chief.

   "This letter was written by Tang Guixi. She said that she has fifty Chen country prisoners in her hand, and she hopes to make a deal with us, exchanging prisoners for prisoners."

   Marshal Chen Jun put his hands behind his back, took two steps back and forth, and quickly made a decision.

   "Let someone tell the girls surnamed Tang that I accept this deal."

  The staff frowned: "This is probably a trap..."

   Marshal Chen Jun raised his hand and interrupted him.

   "Listen to me first."

  The staff member obediently shut up.

  Marshal Chen: "I can exchange prisoners with them, but in order to prove that they are not cheating, they must let King Min bring the prisoners to trade with us."

  The staff immediately understood what he meant.

   "You want to seize the opportunity to catch King Min?"

  The commander-in-chief of the Chen Army spoke in a calm and unhurried manner.

   "King Min is Emperor Dayan's cousin, with a high status.

  If we can catch him, we can use him to ask for benefits from Emperor Dayan in the future.

   Regardless of the relationship between Emperor Dayan and King Min,

  As long as Emperor Dayan still has face, it is impossible to ignore King Min's life or death.

   In this way, we will wait for our class teacher to return to court later,

  If the emperor asks us why we have wasted so much time here in Hengcheng, we can have an explanation. "

  The staff appreciated: "The commander is still thoughtful."

   At the same time, those prisoners of the Chen army were all brought in front of Xiao Juan.

   There are three of them in total. For more than half a year, they have been doing the dirtiest and most tiring work in the barracks.

   At this time, they were bent over, their eyes were numb, their complexions were sallow, their clothes were tattered, and their bodies emitted an unpleasant smell.

  Xiao Juan asked someone to bring a plate of white flour steamed buns and put them in front of them.

   "Eat."

  The eyes of the three of them lit up at the same moment when they saw the white flour steamed buns.

   They first looked at Xiao Juan to make sure that the other party was not joking with them, then rushed forward, grabbed the steamed buns and stuffed them into their mouths vigorously.

   When they were almost done eating, Xiao Juan spoke to them in Chen Guo dialect.

   "I will send you back later."

  Seeing that they didn't respond, Xiao Juan specially added: "I'm sending you back to the Chen Kingdom military camp."

   All three of them showed astonishment on their faces.

How can this be?

Xiao Juan continued: "But you have to think clearly, what will your commander-in-chief think when we take the initiative to send you back safe and sound? Tell him that you have been in our Eastern Expedition Army for more than half a year. Some rough work, and nothing else, and then we put you back, will your commander-in-chief believe it?"

  The three of them were speechless.

  Although they were very tired in the camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the Eastern Expeditionary Army did not deliberately abuse them.

   Except for the scars left by accidental bumps while working, there are no other scars on their bodies.

  They went back like this, how can they explain clearly?

  One of them dared to ask.

   "Can I, not go back?"

  Although it is hard to stay here, at least I can still live.

  If they were sent back to the Chen Guo military camp for no apparent reason, all kinds of doubts and torture might be waiting for them, and the final outcome would definitely not be very good.

  Xiao Juan looked at their uneasy appearance, and continued to be persuasive.

"You can stay if you want, but you have to do what I said. I will give you a task later. As long as you can complete the task, you can not only continue to live in Hengcheng in the future, but also get rid of the slaves Identity, to become a decent Hengcheng person. I heard that your Chen country is barren and the crops are difficult to survive, so you gathered an army to invade our Liaodong County. How was your life in Chen country before? Eat such white flour steamed buns?"

  The three shook their heads in unison.

  They had to enlist in the army because they couldn't eat enough.

  As long as life at home is easier, they will not risk their lives to become soldiers.

Xiao Juan lightly tapped the plate used to hold the steamed buns: "As long as we are Hengcheng people, we can share the land, and you will be the same when the time comes. Each person has two acres of land and cultivate it well. In the coming year, I guarantee that you will also be able to enjoy it every day." How about some steamed buns?"

  The three of them looked at each other in dismay, the smell of steamed buns still lingering in their mouths.

   They both saw longing in each other's eyes.

  The temptation to eat and drink enough every day is too great.

  The next moment they were on their knees.

   "It is our honor to be able to work for you!"

   Next, Xiao Juan began to explain the details of the entire operation to them.

  On the other side, Tang Guixi received a reply letter from Marshal Chen, who expressed his willingness to accept the deal, but King Min had to come forward to make the deal, otherwise they would not be able to trust the sincerity of the Eastern Expedition Army.

   Tang Guixi gave instructions to the lieutenant beside him.

   "You go to King Min quickly and give him this letter."

  The deputy general took the letter, hesitantly asked: "Will King Min be willing to help?"

   Regarding this, Tang Guixi was not sure.

  Those prisoners of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were their captives, and they had to be rescued, but King Min was not a member of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, so this matter had nothing to do with him directly, and there was absolutely no need for him to risk himself.

   Besides, King Min was not the kind of kind person who would sacrifice himself for others.

  Tang Guixi can only do his best and obey the destiny.

  The deputy general left in a hurry with the letter.

   It didn't take long for him to come back.

   And he brought back another person.

  This person is not King Min, but the eldest son Shen Xu.

   Tang Guixi was obviously taken aback when he saw Shen Xu.

   "Why are you here? Where is your father?"

  Shen Xu raised his head and puffed his chest out: "My father is too old to do such a dangerous thing, so I came here for him."

   Tang Guixi frowned: "Nonsense!"

  Shen Xu defended loudly.

   "I'm not messing around, I know you want to save people, I can help you.

  What they want is King Min. As the heir of King Min’s mansion, I am the future King Min.

  I can completely replace my father and make a deal. "

   Tang Guixi said in a deep voice, "Do you know how dangerous this matter is?"

  Shen Xu pouted his neck and said, "I know!"

  Tang Guixi: "Aren't you afraid?"

  Shen Xu: "Don't be afraid!"

   "Since you are not afraid, why are you shaking?"

   "I'm not shaking!"

   Tang Guixi looked at his trembling legs, really angry and funny.
