Marquis Piyuan and Jin Chunzhong came with hope, but when they said goodbye and left, they were full of doubts. (?net

The King of Donghai in the study was even more confused and walked to the desk, saying, "I probably understand what you mean, let the Hun envoys promote the threat from the north, and thus force the empress dowager to take charge of the government, but what is the use of this? Once the empress dowager is in power, the power of the Shangguan family will be even greater."

"Yes, then why is the Queen Mother still unwilling to take charge of the government?"

"Because...because she needs a good excuse, and the Huns' envoy happened to provide this excuse."

"Is there no other reason?" Han Ruzi unconsciously used Yang Feng's tone, which was a questioning and tentative tone, just like a learned teacher guiding a new disciple, an experienced hunter training apprentice who entered the mountain for the first time.

Donghai King was very unhappy, but he still thought, "Well... Of course, in the past few months, there has been no approval of a memorial in the palace, leaving countless disasters. The Queen Mother cannot say that he will recover if he recovers. In that case, she is telling the people of the world that she is pretending to be sick, which means that she once regarded the victims of the world as nothing. So the Queen Mother must have formulated a perfect comeback plan. If you disturb it, the plan may be confused."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "Actually, what I think is not that complicated. I just test the empress dowager and see how much she can tolerate it."

"Be careful to cause fire."

"The fire has already burned to the body."

King Donghai stared at Han Ruzi, and he had despised, framed, admired, and was afraid of this brother. He had unknowingly understood him very well, "If the Empress Dowager just refused to come back, and the Huns really wanted to fight, what would you do?"

Han Ruzi did not answer.

The Queen of Donghai took a step back with a surprised face, "You want to leave Beijing and lead the Northern Army back to the frontier, right?"

"Someone must protect the country and people of Da Chu."

"Leaving the capital is equivalent to telling the people of the world that you never want to be an emperor again. Choosing an emperor is a scam for us, but for the civil and military officials of the court and the common people, this is a real competition. Once you leave, the champion Hou will have no opponent..."

"I'm sorry, if this is a comparison of who cares less about Da Chu's Jiangshan, I'll give in."

King Donghai's eyes widened wider and wider, "But if you do this, it's the empress dowager's wish. She doesn't have to come back early. She can wait for the best opportunity. The great Chu country you protected may eventually fall into the hands of Shangguan."

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "The best ending is that I seize the throne, and then I will have peace talks or decisive battles with the Huns. If not, I would rather stay on the frontier forever."

"There is another possibility." King Donghai said immediately, even his eyes lit up. "You seize the Northern Army and the frontier cities, and then form an alliance with the Huns and lead the army south..."

Han Ruzi smiled and shook her head, "That's impossible. I might have a peace talk with the Huns, but I will never use the power of the Huns to seize the throne, and the soldiers of the Northern Army will not agree."

"As soon as you leave, the throne will be the champion Hou."

"Not necessarily, what the Empress Dowager needs is a puppet. If I leave Beijing, the Empress Dowager and the Champion Hou will have a war." Han Ruzi paused for a moment, "What are you going to do?"

"I?"

"You can leave Beijing with me. We will find a way to seize the southern army of Taifu Cui and jointly station the border, one east and one west, rely on each other, and advance can attack and retreat can defend."

Donghai King forced a smile, "You can see it in Broken Iron City, I don't have the ability to guard the border."

"You can also stay in the capital. When the Empress Dowager and the Champion Hou both suffer losses, you may still have a chance to seize the throne, but your situation will be more dangerous."

The smile of Tokai Neptune was even more awkward, "I didn't want to be the emperor for a long time..."

"If I have to leave Beijing, I hope you will be the emperor, and the Northern Army will support you with all its strength under my control." Han Ruzi said sincerely. For him, King Donghai will definitely be a better choice than champion Hou and King Ying. "I also need your support in the frontier."

The expression on King Donghai's face changed. He had always thought he would become the emperor, but suddenly became amazed and said after a long time, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I'm just making the worst preparations. If I can force the empress dowager to reveal my flaws, I will still stay in the capital. In that case, you will assist me."

"When, of course, you are more suitable to be an emperor than me... If I seize the throne, I can also abdicate to you."

"Haha, the throne is not a joke. No matter who becomes the new emperor of Great Chu, you can no longer make trouble."

"I will give you the king, give you all the northern borders, and send Xiaojun's cousin... This is just an assumption that you have not yet reached the point of leaving the capital, and you still have great hope of winning the throne. Don't worry, I will support you with all my strength, and the Tan family will do it."

At first, Neptune was a little incoherent and quickly returned to normal.

"I will strive for the throne with all my might, but I must also be prepared for the worst." Han Ruzi stood up, pressed his right hand on the desk, staring at Donghai King opposite him, "Then is that what's the matter?"

"Yes." Donghai Wang nodded solemnly, "I'm sure."

"Only the two of us are the orthodox emperor of Huan. If you and I don't die, the throne should not be left to others."

"Yes, that's the reason."

In the following time, King Donghai was restless and said goodbye earlier than usual. Han Ruzi guessed that he was going home to discuss with Tan.

Han Ruzi wrote letters to Chai Yue, Fang Daye, Cai Xinghai and others, and handed them to the servants in the mansion, asking him to deliver the letter early the next morning. There was no special content in the letter, just to greet you if you want it, and then consulted some situations in the northern border.

It was already dark, and Yang Feng still didn't come back.

Han Ruzi faced a lot of troubles, but she had nothing to do for a moment. She simply sat on the chair and used her skills silently, letting Zhang Youcai stay outside. Yang Feng woke him up as soon as he came back.

After the second update, Yang Feng finally returned home.

It is not easy to find Hu Saner, a big shot inside and outside the capital is being arrested, especially those outsiders. Hu Saner is not a person from the capital, so she is naturally on the arrest list. Fortunately, she is not an important person, so he is more alert and hides when the momentum is wrong.

Yang Feng took a lot of trouble to find him. The two of them had a secret conversation for a while, but Hu Saner knew nothing about the assassin and had no idea why Du Tutian mentioned him.

Yang Feng did not give up and helped Hu Saner to peel off his cocoon: Du Motian was not at the assassination site, and it was definitely not him who recommended Hu Saner, but Du Chuanyun who survived the disaster, but no more explanation was provided, which means that the clues that Du Chuanyun appeared were probably in Hu Saner's memory. It might be a person or an object...

Hu Saner finally remembered something.

He and Du Chuanyun have a common hobby, which is gambling. They often meet in the same gambling house. It is a very famous private gambling house, hiding in the alleys of the South City, and is especially loved by foreign figures.

About ten days ago, Du Chuanyun and Hu Saner met two new guests in the gambling house. The two were both young, only sixteen or seventeen years old. They claimed their surnames Guan, refused to say their names, and they made a fortune. They joined the gambling game as soon as they came. Obviously, they had not touched the dice for many days and were unbearable.

Du Chuanyun and Hu Saner pretended not to know each other and fought each other, winning a lot of money from the two boys.

The boy was very dissatisfied and made an appointment to come back the next day. The bet was big, and Du Chuanyun and Hu Saner were also ready. As a result, after waiting for several days, the two boys did not show up. They went to other gambling shops to inquire, and they all said that they had never seen a guest with the same appearance.

Du Chuanyun was disappointed and complained to Hu Saner several times. He felt that he had missed an opportunity to win a lot of money. He was also puzzled. The more people lost money, the more addicted it became. The two teenagers could not resist it. They were either strong-willed or were watched by the adults at home.

Du Chuanyun agreed with Hu Saner, who lives in the gambling house, that as long as two young men appear again, he would notify him at any time and he would win the big one.

Hu Saner remembered this because Yang Feng told him that there were several teenagers at the door of the store at the assassination site that were very suspicious. He remembered very clearly that the two teenagers who were gambling had southern accents, light steps, and good skills. Based on Hu Saner's experience, it was speculated that the teenager was very likely from a bandit gang.

Generally speaking, thieves who walk alone are more cautious in their actions. After they come to a certain place, they either live in seclusion or go to see the local gangsters and come to the protection before they dare to walk around. However, the robbers who occupy the mountain and become king are used to being arrogant and cannot change their temper even when they come to the emperor, so they dare to go anywhere.

Hu Saner knew this. He heard that Du Chuanyun was still alive, so he was very happy and promised to help inquire about the whereabouts of the boy who was gambling.

Yang Feng himself also asked some people to help, and no news came until he returned home.

Han Ruzi was very puzzled, "Are the thieves in Jiangyang? Why did they come to the capital to assassinate the King of Ying? How could the Empress Dowager contact such a person?"

Yang Feng said: "It is possible. After the palace revolution, the empress dowager was more afraid of the people in the martial arts world. The 'Guanghua Huqun' caught a lot of people, so naturally many martial arts worlds were needed to be traitors."

"But the thief..." Han Ruzi still found it hard to believe it.

"There is another possibility that the person who brought the assassin into the capital was Meng Ke."

"Meng Chi?"

"Meng's brothers and sisters are from overseas islands, and the Meng family has contact with many robbers and heroes."

Han Ruzi remained silent. When he thought that Meng E would betray him, he always felt it was difficult to accept it. Suddenly he remembered something, "The person who looked at the Qi around the champion Hou is a fake, and the one he sent to the general Han Xing is no exception. But Meng E killed the fake Qi, and Lu Congxin threatened to take revenge on Meng E..."

"According to this speculation, Meng E must have offended the Empress Dowager, and the person who pursued her might be Meng Feng."

"They are brothers and sisters!"

"What is the love between brother and sister who is willing to enter the palace to realize his ambitions?" Yang Feng did not understand the true identity of the Meng brother and sister, but he was keenly aware that these two people had great ambitions.

Han Ruzi was both shocked and comforted, at least Meng E did not betray him. Then, he thought of "brother-sister love" from "brother-sister love".

"I told King Donghai that when necessary, I might leave the capital to guard the northern border and support him to become emperor."

Faced with such a major decision, Yang Feng asked directly without even thinking about it: "Does King Donghai believe you?"

Han Ruzi sighed softly, "He believes me, the princess may not, I guess they will send someone to test it."

"Yeah." Yang Feng didn't ask any more. Juehou was already mature and he didn't need his teaching in details. "Even if he found an assassin, he might not be able to change anything. We still have to find a way to deal with Shangguan Sheng and Suwei Eighth Camp."

Han Ruzi nodded, wondering whether he could be as determined as Meng Che at the last moment. (To be continued.)8
