Qian Xiaoxing also escorted Hu Baojin over. When Lu Shengzhong saw it, he didn't understand Qian Xiaoxing's intention and asked, "Seventh brother, you escort Hu Baojin over, would you take him to Lin Country?"

"Yes, Hu Baojin is still valuable." Qian Xiaoxing nodded and replied.

Lu Shengzhong said in confusion: "If you use the value, you can't exchange it for silver in Lin Guo, right?"

Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "You can get something more important than silver. Brother Zhong, you can watch it when the time comes."

After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong scratched his head in confusion, but he didn't understand what Qian Xiaoxing was selling in the gourd.

On the third day, Qian Xiaoxing was about to set off. It was the fourth day after Lin's cavalry came out. It was estimated that Lin's country was also looking for the lost 10,000 cavalry everywhere. He should hurry up and arrive at Lin's country, otherwise something would happen.

More than thirty soldiers of the guard company were ready to go, each equipped with one incendiary bomb, smoke bomb, and poison gas bomb, as well as a gas mask, a dagger, a long sword, two snipers, and two fire spitters. The other basic equipment was ten archers, ten gunmen, and ten swordsmen.

Seeing that the personnel had arrived, Qian Xiaoxing ordered the troops to set off. In order not to attract attention, the brigade dressed up as a merchant, put the weapons and equipment in the car first, and prepared two four-wheeled carriages, one for Qian Xiaoxing to ride on himself, and the other for Hu Baojin.

More than 30 people rode their horses and followed two carriages to Huju Pass. Along the way, I saw Lin Guo scouts riding by horses. It seemed that they were all eager to find the 10,000 cavalry that disappeared.

When Qian Xiaoxing saw the helpless Xiaoxiao, he just ordered the convoy to move forward quickly. After passing the Huju Pass, Gu Niqiu introduced that it would take seven or eight days to ride a horse to Qidu, the capital of Lin Kingdom. Qian Xiaoxing had no choice but to sit back in the carriage. The four-wheeled carriage was much more stable after being transformed and did not feel bumpy.

Qian Xiaoxing thought about Lan Xiaocui. It took a year to see her. How is Xiaocui now? Can Lin Guo propose marriage to King Lin? But then he thought about it again. This is to negotiate. If you ask Lin Guo for help, what are the advantages at the negotiating table? Thinking about it, he shook his head. Unexpectedly, a year later, Si Guo and Lin Guo were in such a situation.

If the negotiations were successful and the Huju Pass, the State of Si would not be afraid of Lin. It can be said that the State of Si finally stood up. It would not be so easy for the State of Lin and Hu to bully Si.

Along the way, the Mo brothers took care of the matter early. They knew that Qian Xiaoxing was going to Lin Guo to do business in Lin Guo anyway, so they set off two days earlier than Qian Xiaoxing. They arranged accommodation and meals for Qian Xiaoxing and others along the way, which made Qian Xiaoxing quite relaxed.

In the Lin State temple, Lin Wanggang learned that there was no news about 10,000 cavalrymen. He sat on the throne and pointed at the civil and military officials below, and cursed in anger: "Ten thousand cavalrymen disappeared without a trace! What are you doing for food!"

A military general Nuonuo replied: "Master, I think this matter is very strange. It is said that the State of the State of Si only has more than 10,000 soldiers at most. Even if it is 20,000, it is impossible to wipe out all my 10,000 cavalry. But now, none of the 10,000 cavalry has come back. It is really evil."

Another general said suspiciously: "Can they break the enemy and kill them all the way, will they kill into the Panlong Pass of Si State, and now they are destroying the Guandu and Liufeng City in Panlong Pass?"

King Lin didn't believe it and replied: "How is that possible? If they do this, they will definitely send troops back to report!"

"Maybe something happened to their intelligence soldiers?" Someone continued to think of it by luck.

When King Lin heard this, he said angrily: "Don't mess with those useless ones for me, send me troops to you until you find them!"

The military officer was frightened and nodded immediately and agreed: "Yes, yes, go and do it immediately."

At this time, he heard the eunuch outside walking in and leaning over to report: "Prince, there is an envoy who claims to be a minister outside to ask for a visit."

"Envoyee of the State of Si?" Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "I was just about to find them, but I didn't expect that they would come to the door by themselves, please announce it!"

"Meet the envoy of Lin State!" The eunuch shouted with his throat, and heard this sentence spread all the way. After a few times, it finally reached outside the palace.

Outside the palace, Qian Xiaoxing and others were waiting long ago. They rushed over last night, rested for a night and discussed the details, and came outside the palace early in the morning to wait.

When Qian Xiaoxing saw that the Qidu of Lin Kingdom was quite grand, the capital was very prosperous, and it was comparable to the Shandu of Hu Kingdom. This imperial city was also very large, and the imperial city of Si State was unsightly compared with it.

When Qian Xiaoxing saw the eunuch running out, he said to Ni Qiu: "This time, I will go alone. Just tell the Lin cavalry news. If they do not agree to our conditions, the negotiations can be discussed at a date."

"Chief of Staff, I understand." Ni Qiu sorted out his clothes and followed the little eunuch into the palace.

Ni Qiu was also a little nervous, not knowing what Lin Guo would react when he learned the news. But when he thought that this was important, Si Guo handed over such a big task to him, there was no reason to shirk it. Even if he went up to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, he would have to go there.

Ni Qiu went to the temple of Lin Kingdom. After paying homage to King Lin, he got up and stood there waiting for King Lin to ask questions.

King Lin looked at Ni Qiu. This person was familiar. He finally remembered the last time that the marriage was postponed. He came to communicate. So he asked, "Emister Ni, what's the matter with this time?"

Ni Qiu replied: "Come to your country's ten thousand cavalry."

When King Lin heard this, he hurriedly said, "Where are they?"

"Ten thousand cavalry have been detained by our company, and now their troops are detained in Panlong Pass." Ni Qiu replied truthfully.

Wang Lin was shocked and stood up and said, "How is that possible! Ten thousand cavalrymen were caught by you. Are they all three-year-old children?"

The civil and military officials on both sides were also extremely surprised by the news. If they were all wiped out, it was a little possible, but being caught was really unimaginable. They all started to discuss it and shook their heads and didn't believe it.

Ni Qiu took out a letter from his chest and said, "This is a handwritten letter from General Ma Hua. Please check it out."

The eunuch next to him took it over, but he was surprised to see the envelope. He didn't understand what was made of. He opened the envelope for safety reasons, took out the letter paper, and then handed it over to King Lin after checking it.

King Lin took the letter paper. Although Qian Xiaoxing's paper began to be sold everywhere, in such a luxurious place in the palace, white silk was still used, and it had not been replaced with paper. So King Lin was the first to see it, and he became confused about the letter paper and asked, "What kind of silk cloth is this?"

Among a row of ministers, Lin Yilong stood up and said, "Report to the emperor, this thing is not silk cloth, but is called paper, it is a unique product of the State of Si. It is indeed convenient to write and draw."

King Lin then looked at the content in confusion. After reading Ma Hua's handwritten letter, he immediately fell back to the dragon throne and sent the letter to the eunuch to watch it for everyone.

Lin Yilong took the letter paper and read it loudly:

Report to my king, my cavalry department was besieged by the Si army in the city of Reima. The Si army stole my horse and trapped my soldiers for two days without food and drink. He had no choice but to surrender to the Si army. Now his troops are 8,865 people, who have been captured in Panlong Guanzhong. The other soldiers died in battle when they tried to break through. I also hope that my king would like to think about the soldiers' contributions to the country in the past to save our troops from the trap.

It is reported that the besieged of Hu State this time was a traitor. Hu State had long informed the Si State of our army, which led to the defeat. Please ask Wang Lin to investigate.

Signature: Ma Hua

After hearing the ten thousand, the officials immediately started chattering and said, the letter gave two news, one was that the Lin army had nearly 9,000 people who were really captured, and the other news was that the assistance to send troops was actually a traitor of Hu.

Some said: "This is indeed the handwriting of MCA. Was it really captured?"

Some said, "This is actually Hu's treacherous plan! Hu's treacherous."

Seeing that everyone knew, King Lin said, "Enter Ni, your State of Si has captured my cavalry. Now you dare to come over, what is your intention?"

Ni Qiu said in a humble manner: "King Lin, the relationship between Siguo and Linguo has always been good. Last time the Hu army attacked our Panlong Pass, your country also supported 100,000 feather arrows in our country. For our Siguo, we are very grateful to Hu."

After hearing this, King Lin immediately asked, "Since that's the case, why are you still detaining my cavalry to do? Let them come back immediately."

Ni Qiu shook his head and said, "Although our country is small, we are not allowed to bully it. This time, King Lin was deceived by Hu and sent troops to attack Cangqiong Pass. If our army was not brave and good at fighting, our army chief of staff was resourceful, we might have lost our country now."

"What do you want?" Wang Lin replied angrily.

Ni Qiu leaned over and replied, "We don't have many requests. In order to protect ourselves, we also asked King Lin to give up Hu Ju Pass to our country, so that our country can safely release nearly 9,000 soldiers from your country. Otherwise, if you let them go, you, Lin, will your country send troops to attack again, and our country will be bullied for nothing."

"What!" King Lin was furious when he heard this and said angrily: "Little Si State, I dare not detain my cavalry, but I also want to make a condition to ask my State of Lin to ced the pass to you. I am so bold!"

After hearing this, Ni Qiu shook his head and said, "Although our country is small, we are also straight and straight. If you, Lin country, ignore the life and death of the nine thousand cavalrymen, then our country will be with you to the end. If you want to fight, we will be with you firmly."

King Lin listened to Ni Qiu's neither humble nor arrogant words, and couldn't believe that the weak Si State, who was allowed to bully, dared to speak out and fight. This change really made King Lin not adapt for the time being.

Seeing this, some officials below immediately said, "Emperor, Si Guo is too arrogant. A mere small country with only tens of thousands of troops, and he dares to open a country with the conditions of Dalin. I think we must send troops to destroy them."

Suddenly, many people agreed: "Yes, destroy them."

When Ni Qiu saw this, he was silent. If King Lin really thought so, it seemed that the first person Lin Guo wanted to kill was himself.

The ones who agreed just now were basically civil officials, but there were different voices among the generals. Those detained soldiers were all brothers who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy together. If they did not cherish their lives, then the ones Lin Guo would not cherish in the future would be the military officers themselves.

A general stood up and said, "Please think twice. After all, Lin's country still has nearly 9,000 cavalry. They are all excellent Jinrui of Dalin. If they knew that Lin's country did not cherish the lives of soldiers, how heartbroken the other soldiers would know."

"Yes, the emperor, General Ma's letter just now also stated that he was caught in the treacherous plan of Hu. This time, the soldiers were taken precautions, which led to the soldiers being captured. It was not that General Ma Hua was unable to lead the troops, and the soldiers were not at fault. Please cherish the lives of the soldiers." Another general replied immediately.

"Please think twice, please cherish the lives of soldiers!" The collective generals immediately clasped their fists and said in unison.

When King Lin saw it, he felt a headache. In his heart, these nearly 9,000 cavalrymen were of course unwilling to die in vain. However, the conditions for Si State to ced the Huju Pass were really unwilling to agree. For a superpower, how could a mere small country blackmail a pass? The superpower should have expanded its territory, but it is really difficult to accept that it would cede a pass now.

The two groups below quarreled. Most civil officials advocated sending troops to wipe out the Si State, while military generals advocated a peaceful resolution. This peace was the opposite. In normal times, wars were common, and military generals were in charge of many wars, while civil officials advocated a lot of harmony. This time, military generals advocated peace, which surprised King Lin a lot.

Gradually, the quarrel escalated and the two sides began to raise their tone. When the generals saw that the civil servants advocated fighting, they scolded them for being cold-blooded regardless of the lives and deaths of the soldiers. The civil servants said how could a great country be controlled by a small country and not be embarrassed, and they must fight.

Seeing that everyone was quarreling, King Lin had no idea, and slapped the dragon throne and said, "Don't make a noise anymore. Everyone will go back and think about it carefully, and we will discuss it tomorrow."

After saying that, King Lin left the dragon throne angrily. Ni Qiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw King Lin leaving. It seemed that the first step had been won, so he turned around and left the palace and immediately replied to Qian Xiaoxing.

Qian Xiaoxing heard Ni Qiu say that the two factions were arguing, and nodded and said, "It seems that this matter is indeed difficult to deal with, but now at least half of the people support us. Then we will find a way to help the fire."

This time, I came to the palace and did not bring many people. Only Qian Xiaoxing, Ni Qiu, Xiong Yitan, Hu Suoyuan, Wu Tong and the Mo brothers. After hearing the explanation of King Lin, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Xiaoxing remembered Lan Xiaocui and asked Ni Qiu: "How did you contact Lan Xiaocui last time?"

Ni Qiu replied: "Last time I found out that the post officer at the post station had an acquaintance in the palace, so I asked him to help me carry a mirror and a letter into the palace, which of course gave some benefits."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing nodded. Ni Qiu still had a good time doing things and said, "That's true, this time it's the same. You can find a way to bring a message to Lan Xiaocui and let her find a way to come out. I haven't seen her for a long time, so I miss you."
