Chapter 394 Let You Return to Da Zhou
Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xunfeng, I still agree with your theory. Our opponents should not be each other, but strangers... If you have any requests, just tell me... You're welcome..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "Actually, I don't want to take Xiao Yiran back with me... Although Xiao Yiran is a hostage at the Queen Mother's place... But for him, the Queen Mother will definitely guarantee his safety. After all, this bargaining chip is very important to the Queen Mother... He will ask me to go against you at the critical moment... So, in the current situation... Xiao Yiran is the safest when he is with the Queen Mother..."
Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng, "You are right... But what if one day the Queen Mother holds the Third Princess hostage and asks you to go against me? What will you do..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, if I conquer the Great Zhou, do you think I will still be afraid of the Queen Mother? Moreover, by then, I can help you solve the problems of your Great Xia clan..."
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Xiao Shentian's eyes lit up.
With a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, he said, "You mean..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "That's right... As long as I'm sure that the Great Zhou is within my control, I will send someone to bring Xiao Yiran back... I won't give the Queen Mother this opportunity..."
Xiao Shentian nodded when Xie Xunfeng said this, and then said, "If you ask me to do so, I will naturally agree to it...but..."
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xiao Shentian and said, "But what?"
"Xiao Yiran is still in the hands of the Queen Mother... I cannot fully guarantee her safety..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this... I have a way..."
When Xiao Shentian heard Xie Xunfeng say this, he smiled slightly and then said, "Okay...then let's do as you say..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "Then when does your Majesty plan to let me go back?"
Xiao Shentian was silent for a moment, then said, "Announce it tomorrow... the sooner the better... and you should leave first. I will announce it after you enter the territory of the Great Zhou... this way, even if someone in the Great Zhou wants to harm you... it will be too late..."
Xie Xunfeng nodded, and then said to Xiao Shentian, "I wonder how many troops you can lend me, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng, "How much do you want?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, I won't beat around the bush... In fact, I asked Xiao Wenqin to prepare the troops on Yuntai Mountain for me to restore the country... In this way, I can take those people away at the right time..."
"There are nearly 200,000 people over there..." Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "I don't need 200,000... I only need 100,000..."
Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng, "Okay... I promise you... But, after you take the throne of the Great Zhou, what can you give me in return?"
Xie Xunfeng glanced at Xiao Shentian and said, "Your Majesty, I will make you a promise!"
"promise?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "As long as I am alive and still on the throne... I promise that our two countries will always have peace... And, when the time comes, I will help you conquer Beiliang... without any reward!"
After Xiao Shentian heard what Xie Xunfeng said , his eyes lit up slightly, and then he said, "Are you serious?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, you should know me... I am not the kind of person who talks big..."
Xiao Shentian also said to Xie Xunfeng straightforwardly, "Okay... Then, let's not waste any more time talking... Go back and prepare..."
Xie Xunfeng bowed to Xiao Shentian and said, "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your kindness. When I conquer the Great Zhou, I will definitely invite Your Majesty to come to the Great Zhou..."
Xiao Shentian said, "Okay, we will attend your coronation banquet... But you have to be careful... The waters of the Great Zhou are much deeper than you think..."
Xie Xunfeng bowed and agreed with a smile.
After saying what Xiao Shentian said, he bowed and left.
Xie Xunfeng was a little dazed. He had been looking forward to this day.
But I never expected that this day would come so soon.
Although it was faster, he was not completely sure.
However, this is also a critical moment.
After all, if they continue like this, by the time they take control of the Great Zhou, it will be too late.
After Xie Xunfeng left the palace, Jing Fei spoke to Xie Xunfeng somewhat nervously.
"Sir, what does His Majesty want to see you about?"
Xie Xunfeng looked at Jing Fei and said, "We are going back..."
After Jing Fei heard what Xie Xunfeng said, he was still in shock at first, then he said, "What do you mean? Are you going back?"
"Your Majesty has decided to release the hostage and let me return to the Great Zhou..." Xie Xunfeng said to Jing Fei.
After hearing this, Jing Fei's eyes suddenly turned red.
Then he said to Xie Xunfeng, "Really? Really? We can go back..."
Xie Xunfeng nodded very affirmatively...
However, before Xie Xunfeng could speak.
Jing Fei said with a worried look on his face, "But if we go back now... we will die..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Jing Fei, "Why, do you have so little confidence in me?"
Jing Fei gave Xie Xunfeng an awkward smile, then said, "Not really... it's just that we still have some foundation here... if we return to the Great Zhou, we will have no foundation at all..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Jing Fei, "How come I don't have any foundation... Don't worry. I am the eldest son of the Great Zhou..."
After Xie Xunfeng finished speaking, he did not go back directly.
Instead, he went directly to the mountain where Xiao Yiran was in mourning.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already dark...
The only way up the mountain is guarded by some imperial guards...
After seeing Xie Xunfeng, the imperial guards said to him, "Xie Xunfeng, you cannot go up the mountain without orders..."
Xie Xunfeng said to the leader of the imperial guards, "Please inform the Queen Mother... I have something urgent to discuss..."
After he finished speaking, Jing Fei also understood what he meant. He took out a gold note and stuffed it into the leader's hand, saying, "This is a gold note worth 100 taels. Brothers, you have all worked hard. Let's have a midnight snack..."
The leader of the imperial guards looked at the gold notes in his hand and marveled at their generosity.
The saying that money makes the world go round is applicable everywhere.
At this time, he said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Jizi, I can only go and inform the Queen Mother whether she will see him or not... I can't make the decision..."
Xie Xunfeng had a big smile on his face, and then he said to him, "I understand ...I understand..."
