Chapter 138: Zhou Ji’s Office captured the secret envoy of Liao Kingdom?

"Has the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom been captured and brought to justice?"

A flash of expectation flashed in Princess Lanling's eyes.

Qiulan, who was attentive and attentive, naturally noticed the expectation in the princess's eyes. She was packing a jewelry box at this time, and her movements slowly slowed down after hearing this.

She knew very well that this matter was very important to the princess.

The look of anticipation in the princess's eyes made her unable to bear telling the truth.

However, lying in front of the princess is even more taboo...

After muttering for a long time, Qiulan put away the jewelry box, turned around and looked at the princess and said: "Reporting to the princess, the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom has not been captured yet."

The look of anticipation in Princess Lanling's eyes slowly disappeared.

After pondering for a while, she asked again: "What about the ten thousand elite soldiers of Liao Kingdom? Have they found their hiding place?"

Qiulan lowered her head and said, "No..."

Qiulan, who lowered her head, didn't know what the princess's face was like. It was definitely not good-looking... While she was thinking wildly, the princess sighed again, and then ordered:

"Raise account, discuss business!"

"Your servant obeys!" Qiulan immediately went down to make arrangements.

"..."

Chinese army tent.

Dusk has arrived and the sky is getting dark.

Several braziers were lit in the big tent, and the jumping firelight illuminated the spacious tent. The firewood burned from time to time and made a crisp "pop" sound, giving the tent the flavor of an iron-blooded military camp.

All the officials in the princess's mansion, as well as the generals in the army, were all present in the tent.

Sima, Chief Secretary, Consultant, Wang You, Wen Wenxue and other officials of the princess's palace are standing on the left.

The personal guards and the generals, lieutenants, captains, etc. of the [-]-strong army all stood on the right.

The difference is clear.

Everyone either stood with their heads bowed or closed their eyes to relax. No one spoke and seemed silent, waiting for the arrival of Princess Lanling.

"The princess is here!"

With a loud shout, the dressed-up Princess Lanling slowly walked into the big tent, passed through the crowd, and sat down on the handsome chair at the top.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Princess Lanling immediately asked about the progress of the "Liao Kingdom's secret envoy" and "ten thousand elite soldiers of the Liao Kingdom", but no one answered.

The princess was furious.

Suddenly, the expressions of all the officials and generals changed drastically, and some even broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads...

The powerful Princess Lanling, for her to get angry in public is really not a trivial matter, maybe someone will suffer a big disaster!

For example, the two of them were most afraid of consulting on military affairs and literature.

During the "Hejian Inn Incident", there was an estrangement between them and the princess. Now that the princess is angry, she is afraid that she will take action on both of them.

This kind of thing has never happened before...

Just when Princess Lanling was about to punish certain people, a voice like the sound of nature suddenly came:
"Your Highness the Princess, Nangong Kui, the head of the three prison guards, has returned to camp!"

"..."

The Chinese army tent was quiet for a long time.

Later, the Consultation Officer said excitedly: "Nangong Kui is back! Nangong Kui is the head of the three arrests of the Prison Department. He has a good reputation. He must have found clues about the Liao people!"

Wen Liang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said excitedly:
"Yes, yes! The three arrests must have found clues about the Liao people..."

"..."

Sima twirled his gray beard, nodded and said:

"The Criminal and Prison Department's case-handling ability is the best in our dynasty! Nangong Kui, the head of the third arrest, is good at torture and interrogation, but in terms of his ability to investigate cases, no one here can match him!"

Wang You also nodded and said: "Yes, if we are talking about who among us can find clues about the Liao people the fastest, it can only be Nangong Kui, the third arrester of the Prison Department!"

"..."

Discussions broke out in the big tent for a while, and everyone looked happy, thinking that Nangong Kui had found a clue.

Princess Lanling's frosty face changed leisurely, and she also smiled and said: "I also agree with Nangong Kui's ability... Someone, bring him here!"

Soon, a tall, handsome, feminine, and unsmiling man entered the tent.

He is Nangong Kui.

The prison department arrested three heads.

When he first entered the big tent, he immediately noticed everyone's "attention" to him.

He was serious in speech and had no expression on his face. He walked to the middle of the tent as if there was no one around and greeted the princess.

"Nangong Kui, you are the head of the three arrests of the Prison Department. I have great expectations for you...Have you ever found any clues about the Liao people?"

Princess Lanling asked personally.

The rest of the people, especially the two people who consulted on military affairs and literature, stared at him closely.

The princess and their expectations of me are too high. I am not the second arrester of the prison department. I am good at investigating cases... Nangong Kui's feminine face showed no expression, and she bowed and said:
"I'm ashamed, I haven't found any trace of the Liao people, please punish me, Your Highness the Princess!"

Nangong Kui's cold voice echoed in the big tent, and it didn't dissipate for a long time.

Everyone's expressions changed.

Princess Lanling's expression froze and her smile disappeared...

The two people who consulted on military affairs and literature had already lost their expressions. They waved their sleeves to wipe away sweat and thought to themselves: "It's over. Are you being stripped of your hat this time, or being beaten? Or both?"

Sima, Wang You, the chief secretary and others sighed secretly and thought to themselves: "Even the arrester of the Prison Department can't find any trace of the Liao people. It seems that this case is extremely difficult!"

……

Just as everyone was thinking wildly, Princess Lanling's voice came:
"That's all, I am too impatient. Yingzhou, Mozhou, Youzhou... several states are so vast. How can we find traces of the Liao people in just a short while?"

"This matter needs long-term consideration... I have also made plans to stay in Yingzhou. If the matter of the Liao people is not resolved, I vow not to return to Beijing!"

"..."

Everyone looked up at Princess Lanling.

Then they worshiped in unison: "I am willing to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess and stay in Yingzhou. I swear not to return to the capital until the matter of the Liao people is resolved!"

Among them, consultation on military affairs and literature were the loudest.

From this point of view, it seems that he has escaped!
There is no need to take off the hat, and there is no need to be slapped... The consultation officer was determined, and after heaving a long sigh of relief, he couldn't help but think:

"That's fine. I originally hoped to eliminate the princess's estrangement towards me by tracking down the Liao people. The method I proposed this morning is correct, but it will take a lot of time."

"This case cannot be solved even by the three arrests of the Prison Department... So, when my method works, Her Royal Highness will be very happy..."

"..."

He was thinking in his heart, when suddenly, the personal guard outside the big tent came in and said:
"Your Highness the Princess, the Zhou Ji Office is about to return to the camp! The soldiers who rushed back to report first said that the Zhou Ji Office has captured the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom and is about to escort him back to the camp!"

As soon as the words fell, the big tent was quiet for a long time.

Princess Lanling stood up, causing the various gold and silver jewelry on Peony's head to sway wildly. Her two red phoenix eyes widened, staring at the soldier and asking:

"What did you say? Zhou Ji's office is about to return to camp and has the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom been arrested and brought to justice?"

"..."

Everyone was also stunned for a while, and turned to stare at the soldier one after another.

The soldier, under great pressure, bowed and said:
"Your Highness Princess, Zhou Ji's office is about to return to the camp. The secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom has been arrested and brought to justice. The prison car will soon enter the gate of the camp!"
