Chapter 766 Hostages
Luo Tianbao nodded after hearing this: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm not an unreasonable person. Even if the Queen doesn't agree, I won't blame you. Let's just discuss it. As for the last thing, don't worry.
I'm about to get married, can I make fun of the safety of my whole family? Only we know about this."
Zhang Jiao nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, without further ado, I'll go back and ask the Queen for your instructions."
"Good work."
So Luo Tianbao sent Zhang Jiao out of the house, while he himself remained calm and continued to receive other guests who came to give gifts as if nothing had happened. Zhang Jiao's work efficiency was quite high, and he came back in less than two hours.
As soon as Luo Tianbao saw his happy face, he knew something was going on and immediately welcomed him into the living room himself.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Luo Tianbao asked in a low voice: "How?"
Zhang Jiao gave a wry smile: "My lord, you are really good at bargaining, but who made the Queen value you so much? She agreed to write the document!"
Luo Tianbao was surprised and happy when he heard this. He did not expect that Queen Zhang could agree so smoothly, and immediately asked: "Where is the written evidence?"
"Don't worry, Duke, the written document can be established, but as you said yourself, this matter is too risky. You are not at ease, and neither are we. Therefore, the Empress will discuss with everyone and the written document can be written to you, but as a
In exchange, you have to send someone to stay in the palace temporarily for a few days, and then release the person back when the matter is completed."
"Isn't this...a hostage?"
"Hey, don't say it so harshly. We also have our own difficulties. Don't worry, we will definitely treat this person as a distinguished guest. He will be well fed and entertained. If a hair falls out, how about you ask Zhang?
"
"This..." Upon hearing this, Luo Tianbao not only frowned, but appeared to be embarrassed. Zhang Jiao saw this and persuaded him.
"My lord, I know that this matter is a bit difficult, but you have to understand that this matter is related to the lives and fortunes of all of us. No one can afford to be careless. Moreover, when it comes to wealth and wealth, if it comes true this time, you will
After being crowned king and prime minister, and the family reunited, it would be unreasonable not to give something, right?"
Luo Tianbao had been through many storms, and he understood what Zhang Jiao said. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Does that mean that as long as I hand over the hostage, the Queen will be willing to hand over written evidence?"
"Yes, I can guarantee you this, otherwise we won't be able to raise a living person for no reason."
"Forget it, since the queen and uncle you think so highly of me, I will risk my life to accompany you. I just don't know if the queen has any requirements for the hostage?"
"Yes, it's a bit hard to say, but the Queen's idea is to choose from the ladies you have never met."
"I understand. Please wait here, uncle, while I discuss it with the family members at the back."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. However, the longer this matter is delayed, the greater the risk. Therefore, I ask you and your ladies to make a quick decision."
"That's natural." Luo Tianbao nodded, and then he called for the Great Protector Pan Hong and asked him to accompany Zhang Jiao temporarily. He rushed to the backyard to discuss the matter with the girls. In the past few days, Ye Di and others have been trying to
They were very busy preparing for the wedding. At this time, several people were trying on newly made dresses in the backyard. As soon as Luo Tianbao came in, he asked the rest to leave. Ye Di and others had been with Luo Tianbao for a long time.
He knew something was wrong from the look on his face, and he didn't bother trying on clothes at that time. Everyone gathered in the room, closed the doors and windows, and made sure no one was eavesdropping. Only then did Luo Tianbao roughly explain the whole incident and his thoughts.
All the girls were frightened for a moment.
"How come the capital has undergone such a big change in just a few days?" Tang Feiyan was the first to exclaim, with a pair of big eyes flashing, looking a little unbelievable.
Hearing this, Luo Tianbao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It won't freeze three feet in a day. In fact, most people in the court knew that such a day would come sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly."
Ye Di was the calmest among the girls and immediately said: "Tianbao, do you want us to act according to your plan?"
Luo Tianbao nodded: "I have been thinking about this for a long time, and this is the only way to take the risk. But I didn't expect that the Queen would ask me to send hostages, and also named one of you. I knew that this matter was extremely dangerous and could not be solved.
The good thing is that there is no return, and I won’t force you. It’s up to you to decide whether you agree or not. If it doesn’t work, I will discuss other methods with them.”
The girls looked at each other in shock when they heard this. They understood that Luo Tianbao actually said it more euphemistically. If he really followed his plan, being a hostage would be like sending someone to death. Although everyone loved Luo Tianbao deeply and would even die for him, but
It really takes a lot of courage to jump into a fire pit even though you know it.
"I'll go!" Ye Di suddenly said after a moment of silence.
"Sister Xiao Di, you can't go." Anu had the best relationship with Ye Di. Hearing this, he became anxious immediately, but Ye Di turned his head and smiled at her, and patted her hand.
"Anu, sister knows that you feel sorry for me, but now we have no choice. To put it shamelessly, I am the most skilled in martial arts among everyone. If I don't go, who will go? Besides, don't worry, this kind of narrow escape is a matter of my life.
It’s not like I haven’t experienced it before and can take care of myself.”
Even though Ye Di said this, everyone understood that this situation was difficult for even her to handle. At this time, Tang Feiyan suddenly said: "I don't think there is any need to argue. After all, I am the real Mrs. Shen Guogong. I can't take advantage of her.
If you let others go when there is danger, then who am I, Tang Feiyan? Let me be the hostage this time."
Everyone was shocked at first when they heard this, and then they couldn't help but sigh. Tang Feiyan was not without his faults. He was willful and arrogant, and sometimes he did things without considering the consequences. However, his character and mental skills still had some merits. Let's talk about today's incident to the world.
There are many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and benefit themselves at the expense of others, especially Tang Feiyan and Ye Di are love rivals. Some people would like the other to die early, but Tang Feiyan has such courage to do his duty, and everyone is quite impressed by her for a while.
, but no one, including Ye Di, was willing to let her take this risk, and they immediately tried to dissuade her, but Miss Tang Feiyan lost her temper and refused to give in. Finally, Anu rolled his eyes and came up with a compromise.
Method.
"I don't think it's better that we all go. This way we can take care of each other in a critical moment."
Everyone thought Anu's idea was too unbelievable. Luo Tianbao was the first to shake his head and said: "No, it's risky enough to send one away. How can you go in there yourself? This is definitely not feasible."
Anu smiled when he heard this: "Brother Tianbao, listen to me, don't you inland people always say that one person is the enemy and two people are the enemy? Since the hostages must be sent, wouldn't it be better for us to go together to deal with the problem?
Besides, regardless of whether Sister Xiao Di or Fei Yan has their own shortcomings, the rest of us will feel guilty, right? In that case, why not let’s all bear it together if there is no danger.”
Although what Anu said was reasonable, Luo Tianbao still firmly disagreed. At this time, Ye Di thought about it for a while and said: "Tianbao, I think what Anu said is feasible, so let us go together."
