Out of the door of the Ming Palace, Chu Ruocai's face immediately became gloomy, and he said to the great master and several soldiers who were already waiting outside: "Go!" ”

The great grandmaster, who was already waiting outside, saw that only Chu Ruocai came out alone, and he didn't see Lin Dingyu's figure, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chu, where is the third son?" ”

"I'm talking about it when I go back." Chu Ruocai glanced back at the Ming Palace, and didn't explain much.

The great grandmaster suddenly knew that something was wrong, his face changed slightly, and he also glanced back at the Ming Palace, hesitated for a moment, and still followed Chu Ruocai into the car.

As soon as the frame drove away from Mingfu Avenue, the great grandmaster couldn't help it, and asked in a deep voice towards Chu Ruocai, who was frowning and silent, "What's going on, why didn't the three sons come out together?" ”

Chu Ruocai said softly: "The third prince was left in the Ming Palace. ”

When the great grandmaster heard this, his heart was relieved, and it was good that nothing had happened.

He was specially assigned by Lin Huayao to protect Lin Dingyu's safety this time, if something happened to Lin Dingyu, he would definitely not be able to escape, and he was left by the princess, which at least means that there is no problem with the safety of the third prince for the time being.

But then he frowned again, the third prince stayed in the Ming Palace, so how could he protect Lin Dingyu with him?

couldn't help frowning again, and said to Chu Ruocai: "How can you leave the third prince alone in the Ming Palace, if something happens, what should I do?" ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the princess has to keep the third son, and we can't resist, I will report the truth to the marshal in this matter, and you will not be implicated." Chu Ruo knew that he was worried, so he comforted him.

When the great grandmaster heard this, he was immediately relieved, and only said: "This seat is just worried about the third prince, not afraid of taking responsibility. ”

Chu Ruocai reluctantly smiled and nodded in response, then said no more, lowered his head and pondered silently.

When he returned to the station, Chu Ruocai immediately dismissed everyone, entered the house alone, and contacted Lin Huayao in person.

The capital is also ready to temporarily open up their entire communication line, after all, this trip is not only to participate in the enthronement ceremony, but also has many things to negotiate with the dynasty, and those who can call the shots have not come to the capital, and if they are not allowed to communicate with the rear, then nothing can be discussed.

In the room, Chu Ruocai was the only one left, and he was holding the phone, telling him everything that happened in the Ming Wang's Mansion today.

Listening quietly on the other side of the phone, after he finished speaking, Lin Huayao's voice came: "So, it can be confirmed that after the palace change, King Ming's attitude has indeed changed." ”

Chu Ruocai's face was serious, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded, and said into the phone: "Seeing King Ming today, he still seems to be tough, but he is no longer as he used to be, directly rejecting us thousands of miles away. After listening to my suggestion, he not only did not refuse, but was moved, and if it hadn't been for the sudden intervention of the young lady, he would probably have agreed to cooperate with us. It can be seen that after the palace attacked him, he had already begun to plan to attack the new monarch. ”

Lin Huayao on the other side of the phone heard this and said: "It seems that we are not mistaken, after the palace change, King Ming finally has the heart to win the heir under the crisis of life and death, and has begun to prepare." ”

"Dashuai, now our plan has been ruined by Miss, and the third prince has also fallen into the hands of the Ming Wangfu, and now ......" Chu Ruocai was a little embarrassed.

There was a sudden silence on the other side of the phone, and after a while, a voice came: "After the last palace change, Ben Shuai can be sure that the new monarch is by no means the opponent of King Ming, we must not let King Ming win, we must suppress his ambitions, and act according to the original plan." ”

"There may be danger over there for the third son." When Chu Ruocai heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said.

"Is there a way to pick up the third child?" Lin Huayao's voice was slightly muffled.

Chu Ruocai was silent for a while before saying: "I have already hinted to King Ming that leaving the third prince in the Ming Palace, will let the new monarch take precautions in advance, but King Ming doesn't care at all." ”

"It's not that he doesn't care, but he deliberately holds Dingyu hostage to prevent us from going back on our word." Lin Huayao snorted coldly.

Chu Ruocai nodded: "I was worried about the safety of the third son, and in a hurry, I threatened him with the cooperation between us, but it was not only useless, but it angered him." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Ruocai sighed in a low voice: "King Ming is domineering, and he can't be coerced at all, I saw that he was angry, and I was afraid that continuing to entangle would make him suspicious, so I had to give up and leave the third prince in King Ming's mansion." ”

"It's Ben Shuai's fault, he shouldn't have let the third child enter Beijing, maybe this is his fate......" Lin Huayao sighed in a low voice, and then said in a resolute voice: "In any case, Ben Shuai can't ignore the plans of our Southern Army because he is in danger, and proceed according to the original plan. ”

The phone hung up, Chu Ruo put down the phone, was silent for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile.

Play it by ear?

How do you act when the opportunity arises?

If you keep pestering to take Lin Dingyu out, I am afraid that it will make King Ming suspicious.

Since the two sides have decided to cooperate, what is the Lin family worried about, and why is they so afraid of leaving Lin Dingyu in the hands of King Ming?

King Ming is not easy to deal with, Chu Ruocai was afraid that he would show his feet a little and let him see the clues, so as soon as he saw King Ming angry, he immediately gave up.

Shaking his head, Chu Ruocai was very embarrassed, the third son's life, the handsome man could say to give up, but he couldn't really ignore the third son.

………………

……

Ming Wangfu.

Lin Dingyu finally stayed, he must have been unwilling in his heart, but he couldn't do it.

However, after being held hostage by Lu Xunyi last time, he has gained some experience and knows the truth that people have to bow their heads when they are under the roof.

didn't make trouble, stayed in the Ming Palace, and the only request he made was to live closer to Lin Suyin.

Of course, this request was ultimately vetoed by the Ming Palace.

What are you kidding, even if he is Lin Suyin's younger brother, Mo Bai doesn't have half trust in him, and he won't let Lin Suyin have too much contact with him at all.

Inside the main hall.

Mo Bai told Lu Xunyi about Fang Cai.

"It seems that Qu Guochang's side hasn't been able to spread the news yet, at least the Lin family shouldn't have gotten the news yet." After listening, Lu Xunyi's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, Mo Bai nodded, if it weren't for the observation of this, how could he have been perfunctory with Chu Ruocai for so long.

"What do you think of the so-called cooperation of the Lin family?" Mo Bai asked softly.

"The warlord's intentions are obvious, they just want the country to be chaotic, so that we and the new monarch will kill each other. They thought that after the palace turned against us, we had no choice but to live and die with the new monarch, so under the banner of helping us support us, they forced us to challenge the new monarch when the new monarch ascended the throne, so that we could continue to attack the prestige of the new monarch and make the new monarch get rid of us more and more quickly. Lu Xunyi said in a deep voice.

Mo Bai nodded: "On the surface, this is indeed the case, but it is just their true thoughts, I'm afraid it may not be so simple." ”

Lu Xunyi asked, "Your Highness thinks they have other intentions?" ”

Mo Bai didn't say anything immediately, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, before he slowly spoke: "When the palace changed, we finally had the upper hand, if I was from the perspective of the Southern Army, my first reaction after learning about this matter, what I wanted to think about was definitely not to help King Ming and resist the next counterattack of the new monarch." The first thing I was afraid of should be whether it is possible for King Ming to surpass Xinjun in strength. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Bai looked at Lu Xunyi: "For the warlords, the strength of the new monarch surpasses that of the Ming Palace, they are acceptable. If the Ming Wangfu can counterattack the new monarch, it will be something they will never tolerate, now that we have the upper hand in the palace change, the warlord does not help the new monarch, but comes to help us, don't you think this is weird? ”

Lu Xunyi frowned, and then shook his head: "In the palace change, we have the upper hand, but now it is still the new monarch who is about to hold the enthronement ceremony, and the warlord does not know the truth, so it is natural to think that we are still in a weak position." ”

When Mo Bai heard this, he also fell silent, what Lu Xunyi said was not unreasonable, but his intuition told him that this matter was not so simple, and after thinking about it, he continued: "Even so, the warlord is too active, why don't they wait a little longer, and then find a chance to see the details of our Ming Wangfu before making a move, there is no need to be in such a hurry to send it to the door to help us." ”

Lu Xunyi nodded in agreement with Mo Bai's opinion, but still said: "It's not necessarily unreasonable, if we can attack the new monarch at the new monarch's enthronement ceremony, this can deal a huge blow to the prestige of the dynasty, and it is understandable that the warlord will not let go of this opportunity." ”

"It doesn't make sense." Mo Bai heard this, but just shook his head.

Lu Xunyi was stunned and looked at Mo Bai.

Mo Bai said: "At the new monarch's enthronement ceremony, let me attack the new monarch, they help me fight against the new monarch, it is indeed able to hit the prestige of the new monarch, but at the same time, isn't our Ming Wangfu even stronger?" As I said just now, it is me who should be more feared by the warlords, and at this time, in order to attack the new monarch, it has fueled our Ming Wangfu, which is unreasonable. ”

"Another point, the princess left Lin Dingyu before, and when she saw Chu Ruocai, she reacted very much, and he almost subconsciously strongly objected, which may be because he was worried that Lin Dingyu would let the palace prevent us from cooperating in advance if he stayed in our Ming Palace. Originally, I was also against it, but when I saw this, I deliberately responded to this matter and tested him, but in a hurry, he directly threatened me with the suspension of cooperation. This is enough to show that he thinks that Lin Dingyu will be in danger if he stays in our house, if he really cooperates with us, where is Lin Dingyu's danger? Mo Bai said again.

Lu Xunyi didn't doubt Mo Bai's eyesight at all, he didn't feel that Mo Bai was wrong, and when he heard the words, he also felt a pang in his heart, and said, "Could it be that they are really planning something against my Ming Palace?" ”

Mo Bai nodded: "I suspect that they are not helping me deal with Xinjun, but may be helping Xinjun deal with me, making me attack Xinjun, and it is likely that they are luring me into the bait." ”

"Do they already know the truth?" Lu Xunyi's face changed greatly.

"It shouldn't be yet, otherwise why bother with it, they just need to announce the fact that the new monarch has been held hostage by us is enough to make the dynasty chaotic." Mo Bai shook his head.

Speaking of this, looking at Lu Xunyi, Mo Bai said again: "Don't worry, take a look, no matter what tricks they are doing, don't alarm them for the time being." We just watched it in the dark, and we could even play this play with them. ”
