The Child Emperor

The anger in the East Sea King's heart is enough to burn the four big living people into charcoal, if those four people are standing in front of him.

Zhang Yanghao, Yan Qilang and others actually escaped, and took away more than a dozen guards hidden in the stockade. The King of the East Sea was really helpless this time, and there were more than 20 guards by his side, but it was already exposed, and it would not be a big deal. He had only one choice left, and left the Hebian Village immediately to avoid the worst outcome: becoming a hostage.

As soon as Han Ruzi came back, the stockade fell into chaos again. Many people wanted to come over and say a few words. Chao Hua was sad and angry when he heard that his father was killed.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the East Sea King quietly walked towards the gate, followed by the guards.

It was these guards who had broken things, but the King of the East Sea really didn't dare to escape alone. There were more than 20 people following him, so he felt more at ease.

Han Ruzi had too much news to accept, and his response was fairly quick. First, he stopped Chao Hua from rushing out of the Hebian Village, and then let Jin Chunzhong say it first, believing that he knew the most.

Jin Chunzhong didn't know who the attackers were, how Chao Yongsi was killed, or why his father was kidnapped, but he guessed some reasons from his sister's actions, so he whispered to Hou Juan.

At this moment, Han Ruzi found that the King of the East Sea was not by his side, looked up and saw the guards of the King of the East China Sea, stretched out his hand to stop Jin Chunzhong, and said loudly, "King of the East China Sea!"

In fact, the King of the East Sea still had a chance to escape. A smarter guard brought the only horse in the stockade. The righteous soldier who was guarding the gate recognized him as the younger brother of the "Emperor" and didn't want to stop him. Even if someone chased after him, The guards can also resist for a while.

But as soon as the king of the East Sea found that the hidden power was gone, he became flustered, grabbed the saddle, but did not mount the horse, but turned around, told the guards to move away, and loudly replied: "I am here!"

"It's a little troublesome, you come here to help." Han Ruzi walked towards the East Sea King and others, followed by a large group of righteous soldiers.

This army was too scattered, Han Ruzi looked for a while, and could only wink at Lin Kunshan.

Lin Kunshan hesitated for a moment, then motioned to his people to let them outflank from both sides and block the gate of the riverside village.

With his hands still on the saddle, King Donghai tried to mount the horse several times, rushed out desperately, and finally gave up. When Han Ruzi and many volunteer soldiers approached, he lost his last chance and left the saddle with his hands, his face showing Smile, find it inappropriate, and immediately change to serious.

"It really doesn't stop." Donghai King said.

Han Ruzi grabbed Donghai King's arm, "Let's go, let's talk in the room."

Donghai King glanced at the guards beside him, then glanced at the hundreds of volunteer soldiers, and Lin Kunshan and other Jianghu people, especially the eccentric man called Death, knowing that the time had passed, so he said, "Okay."

Some of the houses in the stockade were burnt down, the council hall was still there, and the body of Chao Yongsi, the chief secretary, was lying there, with a door panel full of names.

Chao Hua, Jin Chunzhong, Lin Kunshan, don't order the four to follow, and the others waited outside, and the mad monk Guangding returned to Huailing to summon other heroes from all corners of the world.

Together with Han Ruzi and Donghai King, there are six people in the hall. Standing in front of the corpse, Chao Hua's teeth rattled, Han Ruzi said, "Master Chao died because of me, I will definitely avenge him for meeting him."

"I am content with His Majesty's words." Chao Hua's voice trembled slightly.

Han Ruzi observed a moment of silence and said to Jin Chunzhong, "Are the raiders from the Chai House?"

"It should be." Jin Chunzhong didn't actually mention the Chai House, but his guess was the same as Han Ruzi, who could kidnap the Marquis of Guiyi, probably sent by the Marquis of Hengyang.

Chai Yun's body must have been found, and the Marquis of Hengyang naturally identified the enemy as Marquis Guiyi, not the sons and daughters of Marquis Guiyi.

Many things were intertwined, and each one was more difficult to solve. Han Ruzi thought for a moment and said, "The only one who can save Guiyi Hou's life is Taifu Cui."

"Ah?" Donghai King replied blankly, as if he didn't understand.

"Bring a pen and paper."

Chao Hua immediately moved to a wooden table with pen and ink and a few crumpled pieces of grass paper on it. Han Ruzi said to Donghai Wang, "I said, you write."

King Donghai squeezed out a smile, "You have overestimated my uncle's ability."

"Have a try."

The East Sea King had no choice but to pick up the pen.

"Marquis Tire worships the Grand Sima Cui of the Southern Army: Marquis Guiyi was captured by Marquis of Hengyang, and I hope Your Excellency will help. Our army's chief clerk is unfortunately suffering, and the soldiers are deeply saddened. "

Donghai Wang shook his head as he wrote, "The Southern Army Chief Sima doesn't care about these matters, you should go to Jingzhaoyin or Fufeng County. That's all?"

Han Ruzi shook his head and continued: "There are 3,000 rebels in Hebian Village, who want to go to the north to defend their homeland and defend the country, and fight against the Huns, but they lack food and weapons. If the southern army can provide food and grass for January and 3,000 sets of armored soldiers. , Rebel soldiers are grateful."

Donghai King's face turned slightly blue, "You are treating my uncle as a food and grass officer? The Southern Army is also supported by the court, so how can there be excess food, grass and soldiers?" This is what he said, he still wrote it, "Is it okay? ?"

Han Ruzi still shook his head, "Northern captives peeping from the south, the world is in turmoil, and people of insight are eagerly waiting, only Taifu Er, if Taifu can raise a flag to expedition north, such as Hou Juan, all willing to lead the army to follow and be the vanguard. Pretentious words, stop and say goodbye."

The letter was not long. After Donghai King finished writing, his entire arm was shaking. Out of anger and fear, he forced a smile and said, "Are you kidding me? My uncle wouldn't read this letter at all."

"I have to give it a try." Han Ruzi repeated, folding the letter with his own hands, there was no letter in the stockade, and he did not intend to keep it secret, so he handed the letter to the King of the East Sea, "Let your guards deliver the letter, you can take it away. Horse, I think you'll have to keep one guard."

Donghai King's face was ashen, he was impulsive, and even wanted to tear the letter in his hand into pieces, but the other four already understood the intention of the Hou Juan, and were very supportive. Chao Hua and Jin Chunzhong held the handle of the knife and did not want to put their hands behind their backs. , Lin Kunshan had no weapons, but took two steps back, indicating that he was staying out of the way.

The King of the East Sea was really taken hostage, and was used to blackmail Mrs. Cui.

"You will regret it." All of the East Sea King's counterattacks were these words.

"As long as Mrs. Cui doesn't do things that I regret, I don't think I will regret it."

The King of the East Sea was so wronged that he wanted to cry, but he endured it again and again. He walked to the door and beckoned a guard, "Leave one person, the others can go, you can immediately give this letter to my uncle on horseback, you can only Leave it to him, understand?"

The guard nodded blankly, glanced at the few people behind Donghai King, and turned away with the letter.

"Are you satisfied?" The King of the East Sea asked bluntly, with no regrets. He should have jumped on the horse and fled just now. In any case, there is still a glimmer of hope, but now he has completely become a hostage.

Han Ruzi still had a lot of things to deal with. He ignored the King of the East Sea and said to Chao Hua: "General Chao, please rectify the entire army, send scouts from afar, and let me know if you find any news."

Chao Hua wanted to avenge his father, but he couldn't find any enemies by himself, so he nodded, "As ordered."

"Jin Chunzhong, go and help, and come back to me later." Han Ruzi still has some things to ask Jin Chunzhong.

Jin Chunzhong responded and left together with Chao Hua.

Han Ruzi said to Lin Kunshan again, "Did Mr. Lin believe this time?"

Lin Kunshan sighed softly, "Everyone in the Chai Mansion can find the Hebian Village, and the court has no reason to know nothing. It seems that the news from Hou Juan is correct. The court has indeed taken precautions. - it won't work."

The King of the East Sea gritted his teeth and said, "You would rather trust the Queen Mother than my uncle? Are the 100,000 Southern Army a vegetarian?"

Lin Kunshan smiled, "Do you think we betrayed Mrs. Cui?"

"Isn't it?"

"Hehe, if Mrs. Cui has a source, he will probably give up this plan. Marquis Tien's suggestion is actually good. Mr. Cui should submit a letter to fight, at least to keep the southern army, and even go a step further and control all the Chu army in the northern border."

The King of the East Sea really wanted to rush up and slap Lin Kunshan fiercely. The agreed response from North and South was gone. Of course, Mrs. Cui couldn't carry out the original plan, but he only dared to snort.

Han Ruzi said: "Mr. Lin please go and explain to all the heroes of the rivers and lakes. Those who are willing to stay and go to the northern border with me are welcome. Those who are unwilling, I will not force them. Please beware of the court's pursuit."

"Haha, walking in the rivers and lakes, who hasn't carried a case or two? They are not afraid of the court's pursuit, but it's a pity that the big thing is abandoned halfway, which can't help but make people sigh."

"There are priorities, and it is more important to resist the Huns than to fight for the throne."

Lin Kunshan put away his smile, "I will contact my teacher as soon as possible to hear his thoughts."

"I'm also looking forward to hearing his advice."

Lin Kunshan walked away.

These people may be able to temporarily stabilize the shaky riverside village, especially Lin Kunshan. The hopeful people have persuaded many people to support the abolished emperor, and they can probably persuade them to follow the abolished emperor to the northern border.

Don't stay by Han Ruzi's side. With him, the King of the East Sea will be more honest.

There is something that Han Ruzi has always wanted to ask, and now he finally has the opportunity, "Kuang Caiyi...Is he really a traitor in the imperial court?"

Don't look at Juanhou coldly, "Do you need to know?"

Han Ruzi nodded slowly, he still couldn't sacrifice innocent people with peace of mind.

Don't let your life stare at Marquis Juan for a while, "Cuang Caiyi openly opened a shop, secretly lending money, relying on all corners of the country and the government, forcing many borrowers to ruin their homes, this is not a secret, if you want, you can send someone to inquire about it. People like him are very likely to be bought by the imperial court."

It turned out that this was the reason not to kill Kuang Taiyi.

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "I trust you."

Don't give a snort, "I have big ambitions, but there is a woman's kindness-I don't believe you. When you leave the capital a hundred miles away, it will be time for me to say goodbye."

Han Ruzi's face was a little red, and it was indeed his failure to fail to subdue such a desperate person, "How can I thank you..."

Reluctantly, he stepped aside and sat on the table, seemingly more interested in the corpse on the door.

The King of the East Sea shook his head, "Women's kindness, yes, this is your biggest problem. This will allow you to gain the support of some slaves and people, but you will lose the real hero."

Don't let your life fail to be flattered, the East Sea King failed even more thoroughly than Han Ruzi.

"You lost your best chance, and your only chance." King Donghai really spoke to Han Ruzi, "Will the queen mother let you go? Whether you ask for help or not, the result is the same."

"As long as the news of my formation of a rebel army to prepare for the Northern Expedition spreads, the Queen Mother will not publicly kill me." Han Ruzi believed that the Queen Mother would use the war in the northern Xinjiang to disperse the Southern Army, and would not easily cause another trouble.

"You can't even get out of this backcountry, so what's the news?" Donghai King shouted.

Han Ruzi was really worried about this.

Jin Chunzhong hurried in and said, "A man came from outside the stockade, claiming to be the coach of Hou Juan, called Du Motian."

Han Ruzi was overjoyed. If Du Chuanyun or Zhang Youcai came, it might just be to protect Marquis Juan, but Du Motian would likely bring news of Yang Feng, which was exactly what Han Ruzi expected.

(Two updates today.)
