Chapter 1529 Missing

Yelv Zong frowned and thought deeply.

He had never met Zhao Qian before, but had only heard some things about him.

This is a typical fence-sitter, but fence-sitter is not a completely derogatory term for the monarch of a country like them, especially as the emperor of a small country like Xiufeng, which is sandwiched between two superpowers. If Zhao Qian did not know how to see the situation clearly and make a choice, I am afraid that Xiufeng would have ceased to exist long ago.

In addition to the label of "fence-sitter", Zhao Qian also has the label of "greed".

In Yelv Zong's view, this is understandable. Although he looks down on the other party for this, from Zhao Qian's perspective, it seems that it is not wrong. Everything seeks greater benefits for his country, which is what a monarch should do.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Qian seems to be a good emperor for Xiufeng, and such a person is obviously impossible to watch his country being divided and annexed.

Therefore, further cooperation with Zhao Qian is possible.

But as Yelu Tangzhi said, they can't expect Zhao Qian to personally ambush and kill the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom. Zhao Qian will never bear the wrath of Yanfeng Kingdom. What he can do is to provide more convenience and create better opportunities.

However, these are enough for them.

"I will reply to Zhao Qian right now, and also reply to the front cavalry camp, asking them to cooperate with Zhao Qian's actions." Yelu Zong said decisively: "The problem now is that the Yanfeng Kingdom's wedding team seems to be marching fast all the way, and the speed of advancement is very fast. I am afraid that they have left Xiufeng Kingdom before we take action. Once they leave Xiufeng Kingdom, we will have no chance to attack again."

"This is indeed a problem." Yelu Tangzhi said: "However, if Zhao Qian is smart, he will definitely find a way to delay the Yanfeng Kingdom's wedding team before waiting for your majesty's reply."

"I hope so." Yelu Zong said.

Afterwards, Yelu Zong wrote two letters and sent them to Zhao Qian and the remaining troops of the front cavalry camp, asking them to cooperate with each other and kill the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom in the territory of Xiufeng Kingdom.

Of course, in the letter to Zhao Qian, Yelu Zong also promised that as long as the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom was killed, he would definitely not miss the benefits of Xiufeng Kingdom.

"I hope this time it will go smoothly." Yelu Zong muttered to himself after asking the eunuch to tie the letter to the air messenger.

Yelu Tangzhi did not speak, and also looked at the eunuch's back. They did what they could do, and as for whether things could be accomplished, it was beyond their control.

In the Donglin Palace, not too far from the room where Yelu Zong and Yelu Tangzhi were talking, the prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, Yelu Honglin, was lying on a rocking chair in the garden, closing his eyes and enjoying the food fed to his mouth by the palace maid next to him.

He is now a "wounded person", so he naturally has to stay in the mansion to recuperate, and he will not take action if he can.

Although he was trapped in the mansion, Yelu Honglin was in a good mood. To be precise, he had been in a good mood since Yelu Hongfei died.

Yelu Hongfei was a huge stone weighing on his heart. For so many years, he had been suffocating. Especially in recent years, as Yelu Hongfei's influence in the court grew, and Yelu Zong became more and more fond of Yelu Hongfei, the pressure on Yelu Honglin's heart was also increasing.

Now, he finally removed the huge stone weighing on his heart, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Moreover, the play a few days ago, in his opinion, also cleared his suspicion and helped Wu Fan complete the aftermath.

Everything was so perfect!

Yelu Honglin was in a very happy mood.

However, just as he was enjoying the service of the servants, a eunuch trotted over and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, Yelu Honglin opened his eyes instantly, and stood up with a "teng", staring at the eunuch who had just run over.

"Is what you said true? Has he really not come back yet?" Yelu Honglin asked with an extremely ugly face.

"Yes, yes." Under Yelu Honglin's gaze, the eunuch seemed a little nervous, but he finally answered Yelu Honglin's question.

"How could this happen? Where did he go? Damn it." Yelu Honglin paced back and forth, with an anxious expression on his face. Where was the leisure and ease he had before?

Yelu Honglin was panicking and even nervous now.

Because a eunuch in his palace disappeared.

It was not the first time that people around him disappeared for no reason, but the disappearance of those people before was related to Yelu Hongfei, but now Yelu Hongfei has been killed, so the disappearance of this eunuch could not be caused by Yelu Hongfei.

If other eunuchs disappeared, Yelu Honglin would not be so nervous and panicked, but this eunuch was different. This eunuch was the eunuch who went to the prison to pass on the message for him.

The two surviving assassins had no use after they confessed. Keeping them would only leave hidden dangers, so Yelu Hongfei sent someone to tell the two eunuchs to commit suicide.

Those who were sent by Yelu Honglin to act were naturally loyal to him. These two assassins were just like the assassins who were killed in the previous act. They were all loyal to Yelu Honglin. After Yelu Honglin promised to treat their families well, they committed suicide according to Yelu Honglin's wishes.

The last hidden danger was eliminated, and Yelu Honglin was completely relieved. Everyone would think that the Yanfeng Kingdom did Yelu Hongfei's murder, and no one would doubt it.

However, what Yelu Honglin didn't expect was that the eunuch who was responsible for delivering the message suddenly disappeared for no reason at this time, which naturally made Yelu Honglin panic.

Could it be that someone discovered something?

Impossible!

Everything was so perfect that it was impossible for anyone to discover anything.

But if no one found any clues, how could the eunuch disappear at this time?

Yelu Honglin, who couldn't figure out the reason, was very irritable, afraid, and nervous.

"Damn it, if I had known this, I should have severely injured the two assassins and let them confess and then die directly." Yelu Honglin thought irritably in his heart.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and it's too late for Yelu Honglin to regret it now.

"Send someone to continue searching immediately. Remember, don't make a sound." Yelu Honglin ordered the eunuch next to him.

"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch responded and turned away.

"Your Highness." A piece of cake was handed to Yelu Honglin's mouth.

Pah!

Yelu Honglin slapped him away and shouted, "Get out, all of you!"

He didn't have the slightest interest in eating now.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were serving beside him fled in fear, and Yelu Honglin was the only one left in the whole garden.
