After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

Ji Chu's face was tense. Song Jin naturally knew how important this document was. He had also anticipated how many obstacles he would encounter on the journey to Xiling. Of course, he also knew that one more person would mean more strength. However, because this journey was full of dangers, he did not want Ji Chu to take the risk.

"Achu, this time I'm not kidding. You might really die out there and never come back. Aren't you afraid?"

"I am afraid of death, but I am also afraid of your death. I am also afraid of the war between the Li Dynasty and Xiling. If even I am afraid of death, what should we do with those powerless people? So as long as there is still hope, even if the hope is slim, we must give it a try."

"The prince and Mu Mu can join the game, so can I. If you want to do great things, I will accompany you to do great things. Even if we both don't come back alive in the end, as long as we have tried our best, we will not regret it. I can't always live in the Xiao Mansion and live under your wings. Don't forget that I followed my father to the battlefield."

Song Jinyu sighed and finally laughed, "Besides listening to you, what else can I do? We are lucky and it's not that easy to die. Anyway, I'll be with you all the way, and I will never let you die before I die."

"I don't need you to protect me. I can protect you."

"Yes, yes, my lady is very capable, of course she can protect me."

"Then should we go and say goodbye to Grandfather and the others? Although Father and Big Brother are usually strict with you, they still love you very much in their hearts."

Song Jinyu glanced at the setting sun and sighed, "No, I won't go. They know that I am the only one who can go, and they also know that the men of the Xiao family are all good. If I go, I won't know what to say. We are a family, and it is enough for us to keep each other in our hearts."

Ji Chu nodded, thinking that her mother would cry again when she saw Song Jinyu, it would be better not to say goodbye.

"Are we the only two on this trip?"

"Too many people will cause trouble, and the journey will be faster if there are fewer people."

"So when are we leaving? I have to go pack my bags. It's always good to bring extra things with you when you're away from home. They'll always be useful."

"We'll set off early tomorrow morning, and have one last good night's sleep tonight."

"Okay, I'll go prepare the luggage now."

Looking at Ji Chu's hurried figure, the curve of Song Jinyu's mouth became wider and wider, as if it would be nice to have a young wife following him around and taking care of him.

Tang Mumu was shocked when she knew that Song Jinyu and Ji Chu were going to bring Tan Heshu to Xiling. She thought that Rong Yan and the others had really not made any preparations during this period, and she was worried about entering the palace this time. She finally felt relieved when she heard about Tan Heshu.

"So you already have a plan for what's going to happen next? Then what are we going to do after we enter the palace? Are we going to do nothing and wait for Ah Chu and the others to come?"

"It's not that easy. Lord Song and his team will definitely not have a smooth journey. It's still unknown whether they can reach Xiling safely."

Perhaps seeing that Rong Yan couldn't bear to tell the truth, Rong Lou had to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, Tang Mumu's expression immediately became panicked.

"But don't worry too much. Even if Ji Chu comes with us, we still have Song Jinyu. Ji Chu will definitely be safe with him."

Rong Yan hurriedly tried to comfort her, but Tang Mumu became even more worried.

"Are there people from the Le Dynasty besides the Xiling people? Whether it is the Xiling court or the Le Dynasty, there are people who do not want the peace talks to go smoothly."

The answer to this question can be known by looking at the reactions of Rong Yan and Rong Lou. Tang Mumu pursed her lips tightly. Now that they have been summoned to the palace, it is impossible for them to return along the way to greet Song Jinyu and Ji Chu. The matter cannot be made a big deal. In the end, it will definitely be just the two of them going on the journey alone. Not only are there people in the Li Dynasty who are eyeing them covetously, but there are also people in the Xiling court who do not want the peace talks to be successful.

Song Jinyu and Ji Chu's situation can be said to be full of internal and external troubles, like a sword hanging over their heads.

"Can only you and my second brother enter the palace? At least let Fanfan and I go back along the way to pick up Song Jinyu and Achu."

Rong Yan answered without thinking: "The king of Xiling has issued an imperial decree. Besides, he knows how many people are in Xiling now. If we don't enter the palace at the same time, the king will think we are playing a trick on him, and then it will be even more difficult to negotiate the signing of the peace agreement."

This road was not feasible. Just as Tang Mumu was getting anxious, Linlang beside her suddenly asked, "Is Xie Yu talking to you today related to this matter? Did he know that someone would send the peace agreement into Xiling?"

"I didn't expect you to really know him. You really have a close relationship with him." Rong Lou interjected in a deep voice.

Linlang rolled her eyes at him immediately, thinking that he was just going crazy again because the time had come.

"Is Xie Yu a trustworthy person?" Rong Yan looked serious and his tone was very earnest.

Linlang said without hesitation, "If it's about peace talks, he must be our ally. He is the only one in the Xiling royal family who will be our ally."

"Do you trust him so much? Just because you were engaged before?"

Linlang didn't want to endure it this time, and gave Ronglou a cold look, "Are you really sick? It's already this time and you still can't tell the occasion from the right one? My engagement with him has been annulled long ago, and our relationship is not as dirty as you think. I'm so sure only because in his heart, the people of Xiling are more important than anything else, even more important than the throne."

"Although Xiling has become stronger in recent years, it has little chance of winning against a great country like the Li Dynasty. Xie Yu is not a fool. Perhaps he has the ambition to unify the countries, but not now. Negotiation is the best way. He will do anything to make it happen. If he proposes cooperation, he must be sincere."

Rong Lou knew that he was in the wrong, so he kept silent and did not dare to look at Lin Lang, but he felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart.

"He said that as long as they enter Xiling, he will do his best to help Song Jinyu and others hand over the peace agreement to the king."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Rong Yan quickly interrupted, and Tang Mumu on the side also quickly joined in: "So the most dangerous place is actually in the territory of the Li Dynasty. As long as they enter Xiling, at least Prince Xie Yu's people will come forward to protect them."

"Yes, so this time it can only be Song Jinyu and Ji Chu. If my guess is correct, we will be under house arrest as soon as we enter the palace tomorrow. Even if it is not house arrest, our movements will be restricted. Although the excuse is that we are envoys visiting the king of Xiling, anyone with a brain knows that once we enter the palace, our movements will be restricted and we may even become hostages."

"But this is already the best outcome, isn't it? If we don't join the game, the two countries may not even have a chance to negotiate. To be honest, this is a test and a gamble. We are betting on whether Xiling can be trusted, and Xiling is betting on whether we dare to trust him. Entering the palace as a hostage may be the only chance to break the deadlock."

Tang Mumu sighed after he finished speaking. At this point they had no other choice but to play this game of chess as a dead end, and everyone on the board could become a discarded piece.

"Don't worry so much. Even if the peace talks fail in the end, we are still in Xiling. We can always disrupt the situation. As long as we win a piece, it will be an opportunity for the Li Dynasty."

Everyone knew that Rong Yan's words were only meant to alleviate their worries. If things really came to a point where it was too late to reverse the situation, let alone disrupt the situation, they would probably be the first pawns to be discarded.
