Chapter 260 The general trend is like water

Lin Kunshan was locked in the yard, calculating how long he could live, a group of people dragged him out and hurriedly brought him to the King of East Sea, forcing him to kneel down, and said "Your Majesty".

King Donghai hid among the many guards. When he saw Lin Kunshan, he only asked: "Is there anyone in the palace?"

Lin Kunshan once hinted to King Donghai that those who look at the Qi can control certain affairs in the palace. King Donghai still remembers that the battle is now in a stalemate and the Southern Army has been slow to conquer the imperial city, so he remembered this incident again.

Lin Kunshan knelt on the ground, looked up at the "Emperor", shook his head blankly, as if impressed by the emperor's power, and was so excited that he could not speak.

King Donghai kicked the person who looked at the air, and did not pay attention to him or kill him. Until Han Ruzi made a request to make the King Donghai go to negotiate in person, he called Lin Kunshan again.

King Donghai would never go to the military camp to see Han Ruzi. In his opinion, that was to fall into the trap. He had to find someone to replace him. "Aren't the qi looking at the qi best at lobbying? Go to see Han Ruzi and persuade him to join forces with me. I am willing to give up the position of emperor to him."

Lin Kunshan accepted the task and had only one request. He wanted to leave the city alone without any guards or monitors. He successfully met Juehou, and conveyed the meaning of King Donghai in one sentence, and then brought up the Emperor's Seal and the Taizu Sword.

Cai Xinghai didn't sleep for long and came out to supervise the intersection again. Han Ruzi took Lin Kunshan to the tent to ask questions, leaving two guards beside him.

Han Ruzi didn't rush to speak. She sat for a while before she said to Lin Kunshan who was standing opposite her: "Those two things are in your hands?"

"Of course not here."

"Then are you here to play with me?"

Lin Kunshan laughed dryly, "How could I have the courage? Did the Hou Buzhichen notice that Shangguan Sheng appointed King Ying as the emperor in the palace, but he has never issued an imperial edict. This is a bit strange, right?"

Han Ruzi was silent.

"The battle in the city has reached the point where everything is used. Shangguan Sheng did not issue an imperial edict, but he could not issue it: there is no shortage of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the palace, no shortage of emperors and eunuchs, only one lacking of one's seal."

"This is all your guess. Lin Kunshan, what I need now is not guess."

Lin Kunshan thought for a while and stopped talking about his guesses when he spoke, "I can go into the palace to find the whereabouts of the treasure seal, and the Taizu sword. This sword is not very useful to others, but it has some meaning to Juehou, right?"

"How did you enter the palace? How did you find the treasure seal?" Han Ruzi believed that Shangguan Sheng must have searched the palace.

"I have my own way." Lin Kunshan found that Juanhou was a little interested and began to make a fool of himself again. "I just want to know if Juanhou wants these two things?"

Han Ruzi closed his lips tightly. He knew very well that Lin Kunshan "just wants to know" was definitely not the case.

"Everything will turn back when extremes are gone. After so long, the Great Chu has been in chaos. The battle has only lasted for two days, and the city is already in tragic situation, with water and food, especially vegetables. Many people's houses are occupied by soldiers and even destroyed. It is almost an open space to the west of the palace until the west city. Is Juehou confident that it will end all this?"

Han Ruzi stood up, "Everyone is sure, the key is which one you choose to believe in, and what do you want to get from it?"

Lin Kunshan laughed loudly, "Mr. Juehou, I chose Juehou. As for what kind of qi wants to get from it, those who are still too fragile and cannot withstand the strong winds and waves. I hope that after Juehou restores his throne, he can forgive the crimes on our heads. Those who are qi will only travel around the world and not enter the temple from now on."

Those who look up at the Qi are considered to be the instigator of the rebellion of the King of Qi. Although they can also show up in public, it is a troublesome to bear such a crime. The government will arrest you as soon as you say it, and there is no need to inform the court.

But Lin Kunshan's requirements were so low that Han Ruzi couldn't believe it, and he didn't say it out loud, saying, "Bring these two things and I will give you an innocent body."

"Is this the emperor's promise?"

"yes."

Lin Kunshan said goodbye and said a few words of emotion before leaving: "Those who look at their energy will also get out of their minds. It's okay to make mistakes in ordinary people, but they can't forgive me for mistakes."

Shortly after Lin Kunshan left, Cai Xinghai asked for a meeting, "A group of spies came out of the north gate of the capital, and after observation, they went back. The Guards did not send anyone out again."

Han Ruzi nodded, but his thoughts were not on this. He stared at Cai Xinghai and measured his mind.

Cai Xinghai was not sure, so he looked down at the armor on his body, as if nothing was wrong.

"Brother Cai"

Cai Xinghai knelt down, "Please take back this title, I can't afford it."

Han Ruzi smiled, "Governor Cai, please get up."

Cai Xinghai then stood up, "What instructions does Juehou have?"

"I have a very important task to hand over to you." Han Ruzi couldn't find any other helpers, and Cai Xinghai was the only trustworthy person around him.

Cai Xinghai showed joy on his face, "Jianhou said, should he attack the North Gate or block the West Gate? Although the number of soldiers in the North is small, they can still achieve miraculous results if they are used properly."

Han Ruzi shook her head. There was a large army behind him. There was no need to pursue "miraculous effects". "No, I want you to enter the city and be alone."

"Entering the city?" Cai Xinghai didn't understand.

"The Southern Army and the Suwei Army confronted each other in the city and did not threaten the outside world for the time being. A group of people supported me, mostly scholars, unarmed, trapped in the city and unable to get out. I was worried that they would be hurt and needed someone to protect them."

"I'm willing to go, but" Cai Xinghai patted his stomach. He was not afraid of death, but was afraid of delaying the big affairs of the idyllic Hou.

"Loaches and the others should be in Nancheng, and there are hundreds of people. You can go to Shengrong Inn and find Loaches and you can find them."

"Shengrong old store? I know where it is, no problem. I will set off when it dawn and borrow a set of clothes from the Northern Army, and it will be easy to get into the city."

Han Ruzi wanted to explain it again, but she didn't want to put more pressure on Cai Xinghai. "People are the priority. If you see Yang Feng, follow his orders."

Han Ruzi believed that Yang Feng must have something in control. The most urgent task now is to contact Yang Feng, but he did not specifically emphasize this to Cai Xinghai. It was not that he doubted the loyalty of the fat eunuch, but that he did not want to let the other party take too risky.

It was dawn soon, the Guards did not attack, and Taifu Cui did not lead the army to attack.

When Cai Xinghai set out in the armor of the Northern Army, Lin Kunshan, who was looking at the air, had just passed by the northwest corner of the capital. A team of Southern Army came to pick him up and took him back to the Western City.

The west city turned into a large military camp, and the people were driven away, some houses were pushed down, and wood, stone, mud and soil were used to block the streets and city walls.

King Donghai lives within the west gate. If there is any change, he can leave the city by getting on his horse.

The original owner of the house was a businessman, with copper coins and scattered gold and silver piled up on the ground. He was going to escape with these things, but before he could even get ready, he was carried out and thrown on the street.

King Donghai didn't care about this little money, and Taifu Cui looked down on him even more, and he didn't even send someone to clean up.

As soon as he saw Lin Kunshan coming in, Donghai King left the chair and asked, "How is it? Does Han Ruzi believe in you?"

Lin Kunshan shook his head, "Jianhou doesn't believe me, but he thinks he is safe, and it's always right."

"I knew he would be fooled." Donghai King turned to Cui Hong who was sitting aside, "Uncle, it's time to make a decision."

"This matter needs to be discussed for a long time." Cui Hong's expression was dim. At first, he just wanted to carry the body to question the crime and find out what happened in the city. Unexpectedly, King Donghai actually occupied the Ximen. He was in a hurry and was invited to lead his army into the city, and even burned the camp behind him. He thought he could win in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect to fall into a stalemate.

The longer the stalemate, the more unfavorable it is for the Southern Army. Even if there is no Daihou outside the city eyeing him, the reinforcements coming from all over the country will crush the Southern Army.

"There is no time to discuss it." The King of Donghai suppressed the anger in his heart, "Thinking about the time when Chu, Zhao and Qi fought for the world, Chu and Zhao fought fiercely, Qi was watching, greedy for the benefit of the fisherman, how did Taizu and the King of Zhao at that time do it?"

Cui Hong said nothing, and the King of Donghai raised his voice: "Taizu and King Zhao temporarily stopped, attacked from both sides and defeated Qi. If there was no such battle, Taizu would have to refuse the world for at least three or five years. Han Ruzi thought he could sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and let the two tigers come out together once to see if he could still sit there?"

King Tokai felt that this was a clever plan, so he seemed very excited.

Cui Hong thought about it for a while, "Chu and Zhao fought for the first time, retreated a hundred miles, and then sent troops at the same time to attack Gu Qi, so there was no need to worry too much about the opponent's sneak attack. However, the Southern Army and the Suwei Army confronted each other in the city, and no one could withdraw from the outside of the city. If I send troops to attack Juanhou and Shangguan Sheng raised his troops to attack me, it would not be Juanhou, but the Southern Army."

Shangguan Sheng would definitely have the same concerns. Both parties who doubt each other could not work together.

"But if you continue to waste this, neither King Ying nor I can become emperor." King Donghai was a little anxious, "There is another Northern Army behind Han Ruzi. Once the Northern Army arrives, we can't defeat the Suwei Army even if we join forces."

Lin Kunshan stepped forward and said, "Let me persuade Shangguan Sheng. The situation is pressing, and both sides have to make concessions."

Cui Hong thought for a while, "Then please let Mr. Lin go there. If you want to attack Juanhou, you will have to send troops at noon tomorrow at the latest. Juanhou claimed that the Northern Army will arrive in three days, and I am worried that it will arrive earlier."

Grand Tutor Cui wrote a text message and sent a general to take Mr. Lin to find two censors, and through Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi, he found a way to enter the palace to negotiate with Shangguan Sheng.

When only the uncle and nephew were left, Donghai King was less confident, "Can Lin Kunshan convince Shangguan Sheng?"

"As long as he thinks, Lin Kunshan still has this ability." Cui Taifu is more optimistic about the Hokage, "Is Hua Bin's subordinate available? The last time he sent three so-called masters to assassinate Jue Hou, but he failed."

"Don't worry, I've seen the skills of those people. No problem. Crawl into the palace tonight and wait for Shangguan Sheng to send troops out of the city. They will seize the key and open the palace gate. The Tan family will drive forward, and thousands of southern troops will surely be able to seize the palace. At that time, the Han Ruzi outside and the Ying King inside, and the throne is my own, well, and the Cui family."

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and laughed.

"Is there any news about your mother?" Cui Hong asked.

The King of Donghai looked cold, "It's useless to worry, so I thought she had been murdered by the Queen Mother, and no one could stop me from seizing the palace."

Although this is his nephew, Cui Hong still thought that he had to be careful when dealing with the new emperor in the future.

Cai Xinghai sneaked into the west gate and was trying to find a way to the south city, Lin Kunshan was already allowed to enter the palace.

Lin Kunshan mentioned the seal to Juanhou, but did not reveal the real plan of Donghai King. He volunteered to be a lobbyist for Taifu Cui, but did not point out that the seal was likely to be lost.
