Chapter 296 Difficult choices

Duan Chen was not completely surprised by the ambush set by Prince Yi, because he knew that if it was not done well, it would lead to a battle.

"Take them away, they are my important hostages." The smile on the corner of Prince Yi's mouth faded, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding enemy soldiers surrounded the Third Prince and Duan Chen.

three days later.

It has been three days since there was any news about the two who sent troops to crusade against Pingbei, and Bai Xiaoxian has been sitting in the courtyard all day long, waiting for Mr. Duan to come back, but it has been three days.

Although she knew that she might have to wait for a month, she just didn't expect to wait for three days, and it was like waiting for three years.

Yuelao was lying on the tree with a bunch of grapes in his hand, he was willing, glanced at Bai Xiaoxian's position from time to time, spat out the nucleus, and said, "Girl, that Duan has only been away for three days, you need to worry about it." How about this?"

Bai Xiaoxian ignored Yuelao, holding his head in his hands as he stared blankly.Yue Lao didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said to himself; "Hey, I have a pity that I, a single dog who has been single for tens of thousands of years, can't understand the thoughts of you lovers."

"It's not good! It's not good!!!" A follower stumbled and stumbled from the door, and continued to get up and shouted, which made both Yuelao and Bai Xiaoxian nervous.

"What's the matter? Take your time, young man, don't worry."

"The little one just got the news from Pingbei that the general and the third prince disappeared in Pingbei three days ago." The man took a breath and interrupted Yuelao.

"Missing??" Bai Xiaoxian was stunned when he heard the word "missing", his mind went blank.Yue Lao was also slightly startled, thought for a while, and said, "If the news of these two people's disappearance spreads, the mortal court will be in chaos."

"Master, can you find the whereabouts of Mr. Duan?" Bai Xiaoxian was unexpectedly calm this time, and he was not as unreasonable as before, which made Yuelao a little worried.

"My teacher will naturally find out his whereabouts. Don't worry, girl, with my teacher here, that Duan will be fine." Yuelao said vowingly, patting his chest.

"Master, you must bring Mr. Duan back." Bai Xiaoxian tugged at Yuelao's sleeve with a look of trust in Yuelao.

Royal Palace.

"Crack." A memorial fell heavily on the table, and all the civil and military officials in the court gasped in fright, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"The third child and Chu Yuan disappeared in Pingbei, presumably they must have fallen into the enemy's trap." The emperor is not stupid, naturally he knew that his son was also missing and must have been hijacked by the enemy.He knew that people from many countries were eager to get the world of Shu.

"Your Majesty, if the Third Prince and General Chu are really in the hands of the enemy, I'm afraid they are trying to threaten you, Your Majesty." A minister said tremblingly.

"Of course I know that there must be no mistake in ordering the Imperial Forest Army to set off for Pingbei immediately."

"Report!" Outside the hall, a guard came to report in a hurry; "Report to the emperor, this is the letter my subordinate received at the Yulin Army camp yesterday. It seems... It seems to be about the third prince and General Chu."

The father-in-law who was beside the emperor stepped forward, took the envelope, and went to the hall to present it to the emperor.The emperor took the envelope, opened it and read the contents of the letter, his face changed drastically on the spot.

The emperor crumpled the letter in his hand, stood up, and wandered back and forth silently for a while.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what is written in the letter?" The father-in-law standing beside him became anxious.

The emperor raised his head and let out a long sigh, and spoke slowly for a long time; "The enemy's target is Chu Yuan, let me exchange Chu Yuan's life for the third child's life."

After hearing this, the ministers under the imperial court began to discuss a lot. The enemy is actually targeting General Chu. Is it because the power of the Chu family is consolidating in the imperial court?
The emperor also had a hard time making a choice. Chu Yuan's grandfather and ancestor emperor conquered the country together, and the Chu family had a heartfelt heart for the court.Even though he was worried that the Chu family would rebel, the facts proved that the Chu family did not take that path.

If a letter came, it would actually be asking him to exchange Chu Yuan's life for his own son's!
