Lu Chen finally accepted Qin Yushan's suggestion and wrote a letter home directly to Emperor Xia.

He first cried to Emperor Xia in his letter to his family about how bad the environment in Beijun was, and then pretended to ask for help in his letter to his family, hoping that Emperor Xia could send an army as soon as possible to help him resist the barbarians.

Towards the end of the letter to his family, Lu Chen mentioned that recently he accidentally discovered that many iron tools that were only available in Daxia appeared on the grassland.

Finally, Lu Chen pretended to be aggrieved and complained in the letter, saying that the Eighth Prince's caravan often appeared in Beijun recently, and because the Eighth Prince supported them, they often did not pay the road tax. He hoped that Emperor Xia could punish the Eighth Prince and make him stop being so arrogant. It would be best if he could pay back the toll tax for the caravans in his hands.

The image shown in Lu Chen's letters is that of one who is afraid of death, and looks like a useless person. This is similar to the image he has always shown of being greedy for pleasure and ignorant.

And he has not directly said in this family letter that the salt and iron of the barbarians come from the eighth prince, but he believes that Emperor Xia will be able to see what he is talking about.

After all, his father is a veteran, so there is no way he wouldn't even notice this hint.

After writing the letter home, Lu Chen planned to ask Qin Yushan to send someone to the capital in a hurry.

But at this time Qin Yushan said again: "Your Majesty, you can't just send a letter home. You also need to write an urgent battle report about the barbarian movements and send it to the capital."

"It just so happened that our people discovered that the soldiers of King Beixian had gathered at the court of King Tianlang. There is no problem in using the Hong Ling Messenger for this information."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Is it so troublesome?"

Qin Yushan said: "If we just send a letter from home, this letter will not be delivered to His Majesty immediately, but if we take the opportunity of the red silk messenger to deliver the battle report, the messenger can directly send this letter and The battle report will be handed over to His Majesty at the same time."

Although Lu Chen wrote a letter from home, there were still some procedures to go through before it was delivered to the emperor.

It is not easy for anything to enter the palace.

But the emergency battle report is different. In Daxia, the battle report of Hong Ling Messenger must be delivered to the emperor as soon as possible. No one is allowed to block it. Even if the emperor is still sleeping, he must be woken up. .

Lu Chen also understood what Qin Yushan meant. He then wrote a battle report and hoped that the imperial court would send troops as soon as possible.

After both things were written, Qin Yushan immediately arranged for the red silk messenger to send Lu Chen's family letter and battle report to the capital.

At this time, Lu Chen was sitting in the study, looking at the map on the table, and fell into silence.

After the letter is sent to the capital, his father will most likely ask Bai Qingqing, the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, to investigate the affairs of the barbarians in Beijun. At that time, he can take advantage of it and ask Bai Qingqing to provide some evidence that the eighth prince colluded with the barbarians. Send it up.

Of course, it is not easy to collect evidence that the Eighth Prince and his family colluded with the barbarians.

After all, the evidence is all with the barbarians.

So the most important thing they have to do now is to defeat the barbarians. Only in this way can they obtain evidence from the barbarians that Lu Shuyun colluded with the barbarians.

Only then will the evidence be used as an excuse by Emperor Xia to deal with the aristocratic family.

As for what would happen to the Eighth Prince and the aristocratic family in the end, Lu Chen didn't care at all.

These guys are unkind and unjust, so don't blame him.

Just as Lu Chen was looking at the map, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Chen came to his senses and said, "The door is open, come in."

The next moment, Chu Yuqin opened the door and entered the study.

Seeing Chu Yuqin's graceful figure, the seriousness on Lu Chen's face disappeared, and he asked with a smile: "Aunt Chu, do you have anything to do with me?"

Chu Yuqin said: "Chen'er, do you plan to let the people from the palace go south to Anping City this time?"

"You have to keep some people around you to take care of you, right?"

After hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you let Xiaobai stay and take care of me?"

Hearing Lu Chen mention Bai Qingqing, Chu Yuqin glanced at Lu Chen faintly, and she knew that Lu Chen would choose Bai Qingqing.

First of all, Bai Qingqing has a certain level of strength, and Bai Qingqing has just come to the palace. Although Lu Chen and Bai Qingqing have known each other since childhood, after all, they have been separated for so many years, which is somewhat new to Lu Chen.

Moreover, Bai Qingqing looks more cool and beautiful. Lu Chen must like her body very much.

Chu Yuqin then asked: "Is she the only one?"

"Aren't you going to stay with that fox from Baihualou?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was silent for a moment.

Chu Yuqin continued: "The third assassination attempt at Xueyue Tower has failed. I'm afraid the Eighth Prince has noticed Wang Qingci's strange behavior. In my opinion, there is no need for her to continue to stay at Baihua Tower."

"It's better to just arrange for her to be your slave girl and serve you in the palace every day."

"And she's also pretty strong. She might be able to protect you at critical moments."

Chu Yuqin thought to herself that Wang Qingci was also a ninth-grade warrior after all. If she was by Lu Chen's side, she would be a good human shield if Lu Chen was in danger.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and then said, "No, let her follow you to Anping City."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Yuqin confirmed: "Is Xiaobai really going to be left alone?"

Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Xiao Bai is enough alone."

"And I'm also worried that if I'm not in Anping City, then that beast in the capital will send people to come and cause trouble for you. Wang Qingci is a half-step master. With her, Zixuan and the others' safety will be guaranteed."

Chu Yuqin was a little surprised when she heard Lu Chen's words.

Wang Qingci is already a half-step master?

Wouldn't that be the same as my own realm?

When she thought of this, Chu Yuqin always felt a little unhappy. She had always felt uncomfortable seeing that foxy girl.

Lu Chen's wives and concubines all respect him more, but the foxy one always runs up to her and says things like "The prince is so powerful" and "The prince can make people fly".

It seemed that in that Hu Meizi's view, she was Lu Chen's woman just like her, so she spoke so unscrupulously in front of him.

If it weren't for Lu Chen's face, she would have taken action against Wang Qingci.

After Chu Yuqin came back to her senses, she sighed and said: "Chen'er, I won't ask you more questions about what you want to do, but I still want to remind you that if you are really in danger, you really can't resist the barbarians. If we attack, just run south."

"The current situation in the capital is relatively turbulent. Your Majesty will most likely not send too many soldiers north. The only one you can rely on is yourself. Even if you fail to defend Beijun, the people of Daxia will not laugh at you. At least you took the initiative to fight against the barbarians. "

Lu Chen's image in the hearts of the people has hit rock bottom. Even if he really abandons Beijun and runs away, the people of Daxia won't be surprised.

On the contrary, Lu Chen's decisive battle with the barbarians in Yancheng will make the people think that King Bei still has some backbone, and his image in the hearts of the people can rebound.

Hearing Chu Yuqin's reminder, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, Aunt Chu, I still cherish my life. If I really can't defeat the barbarians, I know what to do."

Seeing what Lu Chen said, Chu Yuqin didn't say anything more. She turned around and said, "Okay, I'll go on patrol first. You can do your work."

After finishing her words, Chu Yuqin turned and left the study.

Two days later.

The entrance to the palace.

The convoy heading south from the palace was ready. Lu Chen stood at the door of the palace and said goodbye to his wives and concubines one by one.
