Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 108, Agreement reached, the identity of the envoy Ji Xin exposed? Crisis moment
Liu Hong's figure disappeared into the night like a ghost.

Except for the deputy general Tan Wu, the rest of the guards did not notice Liu Hong's sudden disappearance at all.

Tan Wu was a little hesitant, but Sean didn't avoid him when he spoke.

He had some guesses based on his intuition, which he had developed through his experience on the battlefield.

Maybe Sir Sean won't be able to come back this time.

"Tan Wu, you are Hu'er's deputy general, and it is understandable that you are loyal to him, but I beg you to wait until later to talk about this matter."

Sean patted Tan Wu on the shoulder, and after he finished speaking, the cold wind blew and he started coughing again.

"grown ups……"

Tan Wu quickly supported Sean and ordered the guards around him to bring a bowl of hot soup.

As for Liu Hong, he had slowly stood in the field, motionless, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

There was a rustling sound from the ground, and Lang Tao appeared behind Liu Hong from nowhere.

Before Lang Tao could open his mouth, Liu Hong spoke first.

"Say thank you!"

Although it was Sean himself who couldn't figure it out and wanted to die, Liu Hong was happy to take some credit for it.

Lang Tao thought about it and realized that if Liu Hong had not gone to the general's mansion, it would take him a long time to kill Sean.

It can be said that he spoke sincerely!
"Thank you!"

"You can't kill Sean right now. He has 500 heavily armored guards protecting him. How many heavily armored guards can you, a ninth-rank master, kill?"

This is not only what Liu Hong said, but also what Sean meant.

Lang Tao didn't say much, but just tightened the chain in his hand.

"I can wait a few more days, but Sean must die. This is my master's order."

Liu Hong nodded slightly.

The three of them reached a tacit consensus.

His eyes looked slightly towards the Black Wind Ridge in the south.

Ji Xin, can you hold on until I bring reinforcements to rescue you?

The Nanqing delegation's journey lasted about two days, and they traveled very light, abandoning all their baggage.

However, they had to stop at Black Wind Ridge. There was no one within a hundred miles around here, and the Northern Qi defenders were unwilling to station troops in this desolate mountain area.

Ji Xin sat in Liu Hong's carriage and announced to the public that Liu Hong's cultivation had reached a critical juncture and was about to break through to the seventh level.

The gangsters in the same industry all helped to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, but unfortunately the information was still leaked.

While the officials were having a meal, Fan Xian got on the carriage without anyone noticing.

Ji Xin was startled, and when he saw Fan Xian himself, he immediately knelt down on the carriage.

"Master Xiao Fan!"

"What about Liu Hong? As the chief envoy of the diplomatic corps, he left his post without permission. Does he think his position is secure?"

Fan Xian frowned. Not only had he not seen Liu Hong in the past few days, even the captain of the personal guard Yang Du and the counselor Zhang Liang had not come out.

His mind was in a mess, as if a flash of inspiration had occurred to him, but Fan Xian did not catch it.

After all, no normal person would have thought that the Second Prince would dare to send his private army to cross the border of Northern Qi.

One or two thousand people is not a small number, unless the Northern Qi garrison commander lets them go and the top leaders acquiesce.

Otherwise, unless it is the most mobile Black Knight, any other unit will be doomed!

"My Lord has something to deal with, so I'll stay in the carriage for now. I hope Master Xiao Fan won't reveal my Lord's whereabouts."

Ji Xin spoke with gritted teeth.

Fan Xian frowned, he knew that Shen Zhong would do something desperate.

Therefore, the delegation has been staying close to the Northern Qi garrison in the past few days, and has also sent out more than a dozen scouts to gather information everywhere.

But with Shen Zhong's private army of about 800 people, could it really make Liu Hong so cautious?

Fan Xian remained skeptical about this.

"My lord, it's bad! The delegation is surrounded."

Wang Qinian came hurriedly, looking a little panicked.

"Shen Zhong has arrived. How many people are there?"

Fan Xian's thoughts kept flashing, and he was not surprised by this situation.

"About three thousand people... and they have bows and crossbows in their hands. After a quick glance, I'm afraid there are no less than fifty seventh-grade masters." Wang Qinian's voice was a little hoarse and he swallowed his saliva.

"How is it possible! Shen Zhong's fiefdom is in Donghai County, how did he transfer so many people?"

Fan Xian almost cried out in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"Sir, Xie Bian has come to the embassy and invites you to have a chat."

Sweat gradually covered Gaoda's forehead. There were only about twenty Tiger Guards to protect Fan Xian.

Faced with such a numerical advantage, it might be a bit tricky for a while.

What's more, the enemy army is not without experts. Even if their level of elite is not as good as theirs, it is enough to trap them in the army.

When Fan Xian heard Xie Bian's name, his eyes flashed.

He finally understood why Liu Hong left without saying goodbye! Because Liu Hong knew that he would never become friends with the Second Prince.

Even if Teng Zijing was only paralyzed from the waist down and not dead, there was still room for negotiation on everything.

But the eldest princess is Fan Xian's mortal enemy. As long as the second prince does not give up the alliance, Fan Xian will definitely hold on to the second prince.

Will the second prince leave the eldest princess?

Obviously, it won't happen! Fan Xian is not important enough now.

What's more, the emperor has already arranged for Liu Hong to become the prince's disciple. If the alliance is abandoned, the princess will have no choice but to support the prince.

In other words, the prince's position will be immediately stabilized.

Fan Xian looked at Ji Xin with pity. This fellow who looked like Liu Hong had probably become an abandoned pawn.

Then he immediately rushed to the delegation camp. The top priority now was to delay time.

The message that was previously delivered to the garrison of Nanling County requesting an escort will probably only take two days to hold out.

Xie Bian brought more than fifty seventh-rank masters with him, and they drank tea leisurely in the camp with an attitude of being sure of victory.

Yan Bingyun was completely confused, not understanding why the leader of the eight generals suddenly came to Northern Qi.

However, he still managed to calm Xie Bian and delay the arrival of Fan Xian and Liu Hong.

"Xie Bian!"

When Fan Xian greeted this quick swordsman in the past, he always spoke in a teasing tone, but today he was not in that mood.

"Master Xiao Fan, you know! As long as you give up tracking down the whereabouts of the silver, all the envoys will not have to die."

Xie Bian took another sip of hot tea and threatened Fan Xian.

Since the intention was to assassinate Fan Xian, no one would be left alive. Otherwise, Liu Hong would have just sat on the mountain and watched the fight. There would have been no need to go through so much trouble.

The second prince killed people to silence them and also killed the prince's followers. It was so easy for him.

"What if I don't agree?"

Fan Xian had a stern face and refused to give in at all.

"In that case, I can only kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

Xie Bian seemed a little regretful and waved gently.

Ji Xin, who was originally sitting in the envoy's carriage, was tied up by several thugs and escorted to the camp.

The diplomatic envoy officials, who were originally confused, were shocked.

The person who had been accompanying them these days turned out to be a fake.

"You traitors!"

Ji Xin was filled with anger and scolded these villains who sold out their masters for personal gain.

The gangster looked a little ashamed, but he still spoke confidently.

"We are loyal to the royal family and have already surrendered to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. How can this be considered betraying our master for glory?"

Fan Xian's face also darkened. He didn't expect that he would notice something was wrong with Liu Hong just as he went to the carriage.

But Xie Bian had already got the news.

"Alas... As a chief envoy, he deserted his post and fled in the face of battle. Even if he survived, his official position and title would be lost."

Xie Bian sneered, obviously not having a good impression of Liu Hong.

The reason why Liu Hong was able to thrive in Kyoto and avoid being targeted by other dignitaries was because of the protection of the second prince.

When Liu Hong went on his first expedition, he did not have enough money, so it was all supported by himself and His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

As a result, Liu Hong resolutely left the sect because of the second prince and chose the Qin family over the other families.
