Chapter 119 Night in the Lake

Donghai King pushed the door and broke in, glanced at Jin Chunzhong, waved his hand impatiently, and Jin Chunzhong quickly withdrew. Net≥>

"Have you heard that? The Huns and the Great Chu went to war."

Han Ruzi nodded, "Who did you hear?"

"My uncle sent someone to notify me that the messenger had just arrived and the situation was urgent... The kid from the Jin family entered the city, right? Did you let him go?"

Han Ruzi nodded again. For a moment, he thought that King Donghai and Jin Chunzhong had agreed to lied to him, so he immediately overturned the idea. He did not believe King Donghai, but he believed in Jin Chunzhong more.

"What are you still thinking about?" Donghai King was a little angry. He had been enduring for a long time and finally showed his original temper. "Da Chu belongs to the two of us. If it is defeated by the Huns, we will have nothing. The Queen Mother doesn't care about Da Chu's life or death. Do you know how she did it?"

"Um?"

"She wants to send Shangguan Xu to the northern border to fight against the Huns. Of course, on the surface, Shangguan Xu took the initiative to ask for his orders and said a lot of high-sounding words."

"Why did the Empress Dowager ask his brother to leave the capital?" Han Ruzi didn't understand very much. There were not many people who were truly trustworthy in the Empress Dowager. Although Shangguan Xu was weak, he was one of the most important reliances of the Empress Dowager.

"It's not just Shangguan Xu, but also the three uncles of the pseudo-emperor. I don't know who was instigated, but they all wrote a letter to volunteer to join the army to fight the Huns." The King of Donghai was so angry that his face turned red, "The Empress Dowager has been waiting for this day, and she had already planned to do it."

Han Ruzi understood that Shangguan Xu, the uncles of the current emperor, made an attitude for all the relatives. Cui Hong was originally the commander of the fight against the Huns and returned to the capital privately. Now the frontier war is not good, and he has the greatest responsibility. If he still wants to restore his reputation, he must imitate the practices of Shangguan Xu and others.

"Your uncle..."

"What can he do? He can only write a letter to ask for battle, otherwise he will be drowned by the saliva of all the people. It is said that the Marquis of the Champion also wrote a letter, and it must be the Queen Mother who asked him to do this. If the Northern Army goes to the battle, my uncle will not be able to refuse." King Donghai snorted heavily. He hated the Queen Mother, far from his jealousy for Han Ruzi. "You can't wait any longer. It is our duty to defend the Great Chu country. We still have time to depose the Queen Mother and wait for you to regain the throne, and we will just fight with the Huns."

Things were all together, but Han Ruzi still didn't make a decision immediately. After thinking for a while, he said, "Teacher Cui sent a messenger, why didn't anyone notify me?"

"It's time now, do you actually care about this little thing?" Donghai King was so angry that his face turned even more red.

"The military law is like this, I have to know why the left and right general did not report to me in time."

Han Ruzi stood up and wanted to walk outside. King Donghai reached out to stop him and shook his head, "Jin Chunbao is here to inform you, I said I will come, so... I'm here to report the situation to you."

Han Ruzi accepted this statement, but was not very satisfied. "Jin Chunbao shouldn't..."

"What's wrong with you? The problem now is not Jin Chunbao, he is the queen mother! He is the queen mother!" Donghai King waved his fist, as if he was about to pounce on him and hit him hard so that Han Ruzi could wake up.

"Let go early tomorrow morning." Han Ruzi said that he really couldn't wait any longer. Without Yang Feng's guidance, he had to make his own decision.

"The night is long and there are many dreams, let's come out now." King Donghai couldn't wait.

"It's already dark and I can't leave."

"I asked, there are many of your subordinates who are fishermen by the lake. They can sail at night without too many people. Three or four boats, or ten people are enough. Now, even if you walk slowly, you will reach the river tomorrow morning. Without further ado, I know you don't believe in the Cui family, but I am already in your hands and don't even have a guard around you. What else do you have to worry about?"

"Okay, summon the left, right general and chief clerk Chao."

King Donghai immediately went to call people. Since he had discussed it once before, he quickly formulated a plan. Han Ruzi mobilized most of the ships, including twenty-one, each ship could carry three to seven people, and a total of more than one hundred and ten people, with outposts, central troops, and flanks...

King Donghai was about to be crazy, but he urged him too bluntly in front of outsiders, so he could only wink at Han Ruzi.

The Chao family and his son took the arrows to dispatch ships and Yi soldiers. Han Ruzi called Jin Chunbao and led the way to meet the Jin family. King Donghai also followed him. He had decided to stay with Han Ruzi.

The Jin family is all there, and Jin Chuiduo temporarily reconciled with his father, talking about the important news that his second brother Jin Chunzhong brought back from the capital. When they saw Han Ruzi come in, they all shut up.

There was still a trace of excitement on Jin Chunzhong's face, and he lowered his head and covered it up awkwardly.

The Huns in the north were fighting against the army of Great Chu, and there was also a family in front of Han Ruzi who thought they were the Huns.

Jin Chuduo held the bow and looked at the two outsiders coldly.

The eldest brother Jin Chunbao broke the cold, "Jinhou is about to go north and will not come back tomorrow. Leave me to guard the Hebian Village. Second brother, you have to help me."

The Jin family was shocked and unexpectedly they would still be trusted at this time.

For Han Ruzi, this was an inevitable thing. The Jin family was determined to go to the grassland to join the Huns, which had little to do with the upcoming changes in the Great Chu, and was more credible than others.

He could only take more than one hundred people away, and the remaining more than six hundred soldiers had to be taken care of.

The Jin family probably felt the same way. Guiyi Hou was sitting on a stool, but then stood up and said unwillingly: "I'll help too."

A concubine whispered: "Mr. Marquis, this is... a death sentence."

"We have been in the death penalty for a long time, what are we afraid of?" Guiyi Hou scolded and looked at Han Ruzi, "I understand the rules. Juan Hou can take a hostage from the Jin family, and you can choose it, and you can choose me."

That being said, Guiyi Hou, two sons, and three wives and concubines all looked at Jin Chuiduo at the same time.

Jin Chuiduo's face turned cold, and the maid Dragon Finger was anxious, "Hey, what do you think of the lady? How can you let her daughter be hostage? If you say such words...but the lady has been regarded as the 'Queen'..."

The golden drooped bow waved, and the dragonfly shut up immediately.

"I won't be a hostage." Jin Chuiduo said coldly.

"I don't need hostages." Han Ruzi smiled, "I came here just to say goodbye to you and give you a promise. In any case, I will send you safely to the grassland."

Jin Chuiduo snorted, and was about to sarcastically, but her father and two brothers had already spoken to thank her first, so she had to swallow the words on her lips.

After the second update, Han Ruzi boarded the largest fishing boat and led more than 100 volunteer soldiers to sail north. King Donghai and Lin Kunshan rode on the same boat with him. It was said that it was a big ship, but it could only accommodate seven people.

Donghai King finally felt relieved, sat at the stern of the boat, clutching the boat gang tightly with both hands, and began to worry about his safety, "Don't worry, just row slowly."

The boaters were two middle-aged fishermen. Compared to being a soldier, this is their specialty. One of them smiled and said, "Don't worry, we often fish at night. Well, the wind is a bit strong tonight. It's okay. Even if we fall into the water, we can catch you."

The night breeze was blowing, and the fishing boat was shaking violently. The King of Donghai looked pale, but he thought it was his, so he couldn't blame others, so he had to remind him over and over again: "If the wind is strong, slow down, don't be too far from the shore..."

Han Ruzi couldn't act like a general going on a battle on the boat. She sat opposite the King of East China, feeling a little worried. Looking at the fleet behind her, she couldn't help but think about what she was doing. As long as she took the wrong step, it was not only him who died, but also these followers...

This is not the first time Han Ruzi has felt compassion. He immediately withdrew his meaningless thoughts. These people come for the "emperor". If they meet an indecisive emperor, that is the most unlucky thing.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, but the wind was getting smaller, and the lake was only slightly rippling. Looking around with the moonlight, the lake in the distance seemed to be higher than the boat gang, but it still felt unsafe.

The face of Tokai King never returned to normal and murmured: "I have taken a real building boat, which is very stable, and it is like walking on the flat ground."

A volunteer soldier who was carrying the boat said in surprise: "Is our ship unstable? After walking for so long, no one fell down."

Han Ruzi stood up and shouted loudly to the back: "Is there a ship behind?"

Someone replied behind, "The bottom of the boat is leaking, and I will catch up later!"

"Leaking?" Donghai King hurriedly observed the boat he was riding in, and felt that several places seemed to have problems.

The Yibingman on the boat smiled and said, "Don't worry, water leakage is common. As long as it is not serious, just scoop water while walking. If it really doesn't work, just go to the dock."

King Donghai looked at Han Ruzi, "I know this is my idea, but if something happens to me, my uncle will not spare you."

Han Ruzi sat down and smiled and said, "It's great to have an uncle."

Donghai King had no energy to quarrel, and his eyes turned to Lin Kunshan beside Han Ruzi, "Why are you laughing at?"

"Am I laughing? Ah, I remembered the scene of Dongting Lake that year, and I accidentally laughed out loud. Unfortunately, there is no wine or music here, and the scenery of Guaizi Lake is also good, but the name is a bit tacky."

King Donghai looked forward, "Are you coming soon?"

"We will definitely arrive before dawn." A volunteer soldier replied.

He was right. When the fleet landed, a glimmer of light had just emerged from the sky, and the stars in the sky were still clearly visible.

There were 21 boats in total, and only thirteen were arrived at the end. Other fishing boats either traveled too slowly or leaked to be repaired.

Han Ruzi deeply felt the difficulty of leading troops, and even such a simple thing as marching was full of surprises.

Chao Hua, on another boat, was the first to board 6 and led more than ten people to the front to find out the news. King Donghai became more and more anxious, "I promised to meet here, why didn't the crazy monk come? He wouldn't have a strange intention, right?"

Lin Kunshan shook his head and said, "Master Guangding is just a word, even if he handes his life to him, I will feel at ease."

Donghai King muttered: "What is your life worth..."

Lin Kunshan smiled slightly at Han Ruzi. He didn't need to apologize when he handed over the uninformed King Donghai to the Crazy Monk later.

Chaoyang is half a year old, Chao Hua and his group are back, and they are still bringing more people.

Looking at the crowd, Donghai King breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Kunshan nodded, but Han Ruzi had no joy in the event of great success.

"Hey, Emperor, I finally caught up with you."

There were rough screams coming from the water, and everyone turned around in surprise and saw that it was Ma Da who was coming alone in a small boat.

Ma Da jumped ashore, and someone called him "Donkey Child". He angrily denied it, and went straight to Han Ruzi, complaining: "I sent me to do business, but you are not waiting in the Chao Family Fishing Village. When you arrive at the Hebian Village, you don't have any figures of you. You run so far at once, do you want to be exhausted to death?"

"Have you seen someone?" Han Ruzi asked.

Ma Da stopped talking, touched his body for a long time, found a letter and handed it over, "Here, that's it."

Han Ruzi received the letter, regardless of how curious King Donghai and Lin Kunshan looked, and took a few steps to open the letter to watch.

The letter was very short, and after reading it, his face changed.
