QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots
Chapter 161 - 6.12

Chapter 161: 6.12

The emperor gradually calmed down a little, turned around and sat back on the throne, glanced at all the civil and military officials in the court, and then said solemnly, "I have decided to send an envoy to the Xifu Kingdom to attend the coronation ceremony. The one who will go must be alert, observe the thoughts of the new Xifu Emperor, and take precautions in time. Is there any dear friend who is willing to go?"

The court was completely silent.

After all, no one was a fool.

It is the enthronement ceremony of a hostage who holds a grudge against the Dongli Kingdom. As a courtier of the Dongli Kingdom, who dares to take that risk?

Everyone knows that this trip will be a life-threatening chore if it is not carried out well.

"No one!?"

The emperor’s suppressed anger suddenly came back when he saw dozens of civil and military officials from all over the court being silent.

"Is it possible that you are afraid of that damn hostage!? Aren’t you all embarrassed to be scared of him? Now, what’s the use of raising you idiots?"

"Your Majesty, I’m willing to go."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Jiamian followed the emperor’s wish and spoke.

He needs to see Yan Wuluan.

Moreover, if Yan Wuluan still wants to attack the Dongli Kingdom like in the original plot, he does not want to be a minister who is standing on the opposite side.

Because he has a reputation for being a teacher of the crown prince, he cannot calmly watch the powerful and miserable bigshot chase and kill the protagonist without coming forward to protect him.

But just avoiding holding this title can separate him from the protagonist. He will have no obligation to protect Yuan Jin to grow up, restore the country, and take revenge.

And now, going to the Xifu Kingdom in the name of an envoy is obviously a good opportunity to avoid this in an honest way.

Even if he comes back again, His Highness the Crown Prince will not be without a new teacher during these two or three months. He can easily take advantage of this opportunity to alienate the Crown Prince and naturally become a second-tier subordinate.

When he finally heard someone speaking, the emperor’s face looked better and his eyes even brightened up. He raised his finger and pointed at Jiang Jiamian, "Yes! You and Yan Wuluan had a teacher-student relationship. Maybe it’s the best choice for you to go!"

This is the only person in the entire Dongli Kingdom who has ever been kind to that hostage. Jiang Jiamian can make him have more goodwill and remember less of the embarrassment he experienced here.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I accept the order."

"Teacher Jiang, please go ahead with peace of mind." The Emperor regained his dignity and looked like a saint, "I will personally send two hundred guardsmen disguised as deputies and servants to protect you all the way."

"I accept the order and thank you."

Jiang Jiamian’s face was filled with emotion, but his heart was calm.

Two hundred guardsmen?

This is not just going out of the capital.

This is leaving the Dongli Kingdom and completely penetrating into another person’s country.

As long as the other party has ill intentions and really wants to do something to him, what can the two hundred guardsmen do?

"Are you the envoy from the Dongli Kingdom?"

What Jiang Jiamian didn’t expect was that when his team just entered the border of the Xifu Kingdom, a governor had already arrived at the pass.

Seeing their shadows, he immediately asked people to open the gate of the pass.

This surprised Jiang Jiamian.

The relationship between the Dongli Kingdom and the Xifu Kingdom seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the relationship is very tense.

The two kingdoms were always wary of each other.

It is precisely because the Dongli Kingdom has become much stronger over the years and the Xifu Kingdom was forced to bow its head and send Yan Wuluan as a hostage in order to seek temporary peace.

Therefore, even if he really comes to the Xifu Kingdom as a congratulatory envoy, he may encounter various interrogations. When he finally enters the pass, he will most likely be left out in the cold and continue to lead his team to the capital of the Xifu Kingdom alone.

What’s more, the relationship between those two kingdoms is even more tense than before.

The Dongli Kingdom became a place hated by the new emperor of the Xifu Kingdom.

It is impossible for them to be friendly to Dongli envoys.

The governor personally greets him? This is a bit absurd.

It’s nice not to show off.

Is the other side really warm and hospitable?

Tsk.

"Exactly."

Therefore, Jiang Jiamian did not let down his guard because of the governor’s warm smile. Instead, he secretly observed his every expression, trying to detect any conspiracy on his face, but in the end, he could not see it.

Strange.

Because the governor still had a sincere smile and a respectful attitude, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Jiang Jiamian, the teacher of Dongli Kingdom?"

Jiang Jiamian raised his eyebrows, "How do you know?"

The Dongli Kingdom did not announce publicly who would be sent as envoy to to the Xifu Kingdom.

The expression on the governor’s face became more and more respectful, "It turns out that the emperor’s teacher has really arrived! This minister and others are following Your Majesty’s instructions. All the officials in the Xifu Kingdom, especially the officials in the prefectures and counties along the road, must greet the teacher with courtesy and escort him all the way to the capital!"

Jiang Jiamian: "..."

This is not what he imagined.

But, having said that, how did Yan Wuluan know it was him who was coming?

This is not right!

Jiang Jiamian suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Could it be that Yan Wuluan had an informer when he left the Dongli Kingdom that day?

It seems that he really underestimated him.

In such adversity, not only could he plan to fake his own death to escape, but now it seems that he also had other backup plans.
