Chapter 188: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea (1)

The two Korean princes who were heavily guarded were almost robbed by the Chaoming coalition army, which made the leaders of the Japanese army in Wangjing extremely angry.

After consultation, several high-ranking generals of the Japanese army decided to give the small Korean court a little color to see.

The Japanese army angrily cut off the little finger of Linhaejun's left hand, and ordered someone to send it to the Korean king Lee, who had been stationed in Kaesong at this time, and left a message: Within half a month, Korea must prepare 100,000 stone of grain. Otherwise, the heads of the two princes will be received.

Seeing the bloody finger cut from Aiko's body, King Lee of Joseon suddenly fainted in distress.

Liu Chenglong and other ministers of the DPRK and China hurriedly ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and rescue them.

"My son, you are suffering!" Li, who was rescued, screamed and threw himself on the small box containing Lin Haijun's fingers and cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, you should quickly find a way to rescue the two princes." Liu Chenglong said to Li.

"Rescue? If it weren't for Lord Liu's bad idea last time, and sending an unfavorable Li Ruzhu to Wang Jing to rescue the two princes, the princess and all the courtiers would not have died, and the prince's fingers would not have been cut off by the Japanese and used to blackmail the king. Thanks to the king's soft-heartedness, he thought that Li Ruzhu was seriously injured, and gave him a demotion, if it were me, he would have been punished with death. As the leader of the Northerners' Party, Li Shanhai, the leader of the Parliament, always misses any opportunity to attack Liu Chenglong, the leader of the Southerners' Party.

Within the Korean court, there has always been a dispute between the two major parties, the East People's Party and the West People's Party. With the joint efforts of the two giants of the East People's Party, Li Shanhai and Liu Chenglong, the East People's Party swept away the power of the Korean and Western People's Party in one fell swoop, and the East People's Party controlled the entire Korean court.

Soon after the purging of the Westerners' Party, the Easterners were divided and formed two major forces, the Southerners Party headed by Liu Chenglong of the Left Parliamentary Party and the Northerners Party headed by Li Shanhai, the leader of the Parliamentary Party. In order to control the power of the imperial court, the two sides intrigued and fought with each other.

"Lord Li, please don't blame others for the failure to rescue the prince last time. Li Ruzhu sneaked into the capital of Wangjing, and had successfully cooperated with the Ming Jinyi guard to rescue the two princes from the city. If you hadn't had to take matters into your own hands and send that straw bag general named Hui Rufang to lead a team to meet you, you wouldn't have wiped out the whole army and the prince would have been captured again. Liu Chenglong saw that Li Shanhai pushed all the reasons for the failure to rescue the prince last time on himself in front of the king, and immediately became angry and refuted.

Li Ruzhu woke up in the early morning after being stabbed in a coma by Japanese people in a small mountain village, and he dragged his wounded body to the door of a family and knocked on the door of that family. The owner of the charity family rescued Li Ruzhu into the hospital, which can be regarded as saving Li Ruzhu's life.

"Alright, alright! Stop arguing, all of you. Let's think about it quickly. The quarrel between the two important officials of the court upset King Lee, who stood up from the small box and waved his hand to stop the quarrel between Yoo Sung-ryong and Lee Shan-hae.

"Yes. The king. Seeing that King Li was angry, Liu Chenglong and Li Shanhai hurriedly put away their angry faces and replied almost at the same time.

"Half a month! The Japanese only give us half a month! Where can I raise 100,000 stone of grain? Is this not sure that it is for my son's life? Lee was so anxious that he spun around in circles.

"Your Majesty. Nowadays, there is a famine of wars and starvation. Not to mention half a month, even a month, it is difficult for us to raise these 100,000 stone grain. Liu Chenglong said in a solemn voice.

"Yes, what Lord Liu said is very true. Now the country is poor

The people are hungry, and the famine is getting worse day by day. Indeed, it is difficult to raise food. Li Shanhai seemed to feel that Fang Cai's words to Liu Chenglong were too extreme, so he eased the overly tense atmosphere by echoing Liu Chenglong.

"Having trouble raising food? Do you want to watch the two princes being beheaded by the Japanese and ignore it? Hearing the words of the two important ministers, Li was very dissatisfied. But he did not attack Liu Chenglong, but only glared angrily at Li Shanhai, the leader of the government.

"The old minister didn't dare. Since the day the two princes were captured, the old minister has been washing his face with tears all day long, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. If the old minister's decayed body can be exchanged for the two princes, the old minister will definitely be duty-bound. Seeing King Li glaring at him, Li Shanhai was suddenly so frightened that he fell to his knees with a "plop".

"The king is angry. Lord Li's feelings for the two princes were all seen by the courtiers. I think he will definitely not see death without help. Liu Chenglong reciprocated the favor, and he didn't want to make the relationship between himself and Li Shanhai, the leader of the government, an inseparable picture in front of the king.

"Alright. Get up. Hurry up and think of an idea for me. Li said to Li Shanhai, who was trembling on his knees.

"Thank you, the king!" Li Shanhai thanked Wang En, then got up from the ground tremblingly, and threw a grateful glance at Liu Chenglong, who had relieved him.

"Your Majesty. Today's plan should not be used on how to raise grain, because the Japanese people only give half a month to raise 100,000 stone of grain, which is really impossible to do in the current economic situation of our state. But the prince must not be saved. Ministers, brainstorm to see who has a more practical way to save the lives of the two princes. Liu Chenglong said.

After Liu Chenglong finished speaking, none of the ministers of the court and China at the scene spoke. The reason is simple, it is not easy to rescue the two princes safely from the hands of the Japanese people. There has just been a lesson from Li Ruzhu's demotion because of the unfavorable rescue of the prince, and who of the ministers dares to speak rashly.

"You ...... These wastes, they only know how to be pampered on weekdays, why is there no one who can share my worries at a critical time! Seeing that the ministers bowed their heads and were silent, Li suddenly became angry.

"Lord Liu, do you think you can turn to the Ming army again and ask them to try to rescue the two princes?" Seeing that Wang Shang was angry, Li Shanhai hurriedly turned around and said to Liu Chenglong.

"Lord Li, I'm afraid this plan won't work. Last time, I was ordered by the king to go to the camp of the Ming army to ask them for help, but the other party did not agree to us on the spot. When I looked at the faces of the people at the time, it seemed that they were reluctant to send troops to help.

"For some reason, they immediately agreed to our request. In the entire operation to save the prince, although the Ming Jinyi Guard did not suffer major casualties, he also lost his troops because of this. Now, if I go to ask others to save me, I'm afraid it will be ......" Liu Chenglong looked embarrassed.

"Isn't there anyone in our North Korea who can stand up and save the lives of the two princes? Whoever I will, if he can save the lives of the two princes, I will reward him with a great reward. Lee said.

"Your Majesty. Your words remind me of someone. If this man can intervene, he may be able to save the two princes. Li Shanhai said.

"Tell me about it!" Li urged Li Shanhai.

"Can the king still remember the brothers Huang Long and Huang Hu who defected to the imperial court with Abbot Xiu Neng a few days ago?" Li Shanhai said.

"Yellow Dragon, Yellow Tiger ......" Li couldn't remember where the two of them were sacred.

"It's the two green forest brothers who are kings in the Ishida Mountains."

Li Shanhai prompted.

"Oh. Come to think of it. I've heard Abbot Hunnen talk about the two. The two of them ...... "Although they remembered the origin of the two Huang brothers, Li still couldn't understand how the two Huang brothers would help save the two princes." He asked.

"Since the Huang brothers defected to the imperial court, one has done their duty. Now the two of them are the chief and deputy commanders of the Tiger Guard Battalion. This Huang brother has a friend named Xing Lei. This person was helped by the Huang brothers when he was in danger, and it can be said that they had a lifelong friendship.

"This Xing Lei has a team of nearly 3,000 people under him, and he has strong combat effectiveness. They were located on the Black Dragon Mountain, almost choking the entire transportation artery from Kaesong to Wangjing.

"The king can send the Huang brothers to Heilong Mountain to persuade Xing Lei to surrender and make him serve the imperial court. If this Xing Lei can really abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we can make full use of his power to perform a good show of hiding from the world and the sea, hoping to rescue the two princes. Li Shanhai paused when he said this. to observe King Lee's reaction.

"Go on!" Li Shanhai's words aroused Lee's interest.

"Although we can't raise food, we still have to agree to the demands of the Japanese people. We ask them to hand over food and food to us in person when the time comes. After agreeing on the exchange location, we can send the Tiger Guard Battalion led by Huang Long and Huang Hu and Xing Lei's men to ambush nearby in advance.

"When the time comes, all we need to do is get bags full of earth and sand, load them on ox carts, take them to the exchange place, and lie to them that we have prepared 100,000 stone of grain for them. As long as the Wa people bring the two princes to the scene, we can raid them and rescue the two princes in the chaos. Li Shanhai saw that Li was quite interested in his plan, and hurriedly said.

"But where is the place of the transaction?" Liu Chenglong asked.

"Of course, it's best to set it near the Black Dragon Mountain occupied by Xing Lei. However, even if the Japanese people proposed another place for trading, thinking that the north of Wangjing was a mountainous area, any place could be ambushed in advance. Li Shanhai said.

"But the Japanese people may not be able to agree with us." Liu Chenglong felt that Li Shanhai's strategy was a little unreliable, so he began to pour cold water.

"What the Japanese people in Wangjing City lack most now is food. I think there is this so-called 100,000 stone grain as bait, and I don't believe that the Japanese people will not take the bait. Li Shanhai didn't want the cold water splashed by Liu Chenglong to chill King Li's interest in his plan, so he hurriedly said with a look of a bamboo in his chest.

"But who dares to guarantee that Xing Lei will definitely agree to defect to the court and work hard for the court? Besides, this kind of robbery while the fire is not done well will hurt the two princes. I hope the king will think twice. Liu Chenglong still does not support Li Shanhai's rescue strategy.

"Lord Yanagi. It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. Is there any good way you can save the two princes? Might as well speak up for everyone to hear. You have to try it to see if it works. As you look forward and fear, the half-month time given by the Japanese people will soon come. We can't just sit still, can we? Seeing Liu Chenglong blindly singing against himself, Li Shanhai felt a little angry in his heart, and his tone of speech improved a lot.

"I think I'll give it a try according to Master Li's idea for the time being. Next, you need to sum up the specific details of your actions and try to save the two princes safely. Okay, I'm a little tired. It's all gone. Li yawned and said to Li Shanhai and the ministers present.

"Yes." Li Shanhai bowed and promised.
