Chapter 113: The Arrogant Robber
Han Ruzi found that he was still not ready to kill with his own hands, especially the man who was so frightened that tears flowed out, weaker than a lamb to the slaughter. Han Ruzi swung the knife and slashed it across the man's arm, the knife was bloody, and it was immediately smeared on the black cloth, and the man fell directly and fainted.
This bit of blood temporarily satisfied the fighting spirit of everyone present, and Lin Kunshan immediately ordered someone to drag the fainted person away.
The blood stained on the black cloth was even more hideous, hanging at the entrance of the fishing village, fluttering in the wind, and every newcomer had to pass by this "battle flag", throw away the lively mood, and go to see the emperor in fear.
The Jin family turned from the riverside village several times, the impression of this flag is particularly deep, although Guiyi Hou said that he had long seen that the Great Chu was crumbling, so he planned to flee to the grassland, but he saw that there were really people who set up a flag to "rebel", or frightened, heard that the blood on the flag was smeared by the emperor himself, and was even more surprised, and when he found that his daughter was called "queen", he finally could not bear this series of stimulation, fainted in the arms of three wives and concubines.
Han Ruzi slept for a while, and was awakened soon after dawn, receiving a group of defectors, all of whom rushed to the righteous after hearing the news, and the small fishing village could not accommodate it for a long time, and most of the people had to camp, pass on all kinds of anecdotes, and fantasize about future success.
Han Ruzi took advantage of the little authority he had just received and ordered someone to return the weapon to the Jin family brothers and sisters.
Before noon, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people coming, Han Ruzi called Lin Kunshan, "It's time to talk about our plan." ”
Lin Kunshan smiled: "Everything has gone well so far, Your Majesty has done a good job, but there is no need to leave a living mouth when sacrificing the flag." ”
"I know. But what I want to build is a righteous teacher. Not a murderous gang of thieves. Han Ruzi didn't want to explain more. He asked directly, "What is the Qi Seeker going to do next?" ”
"I don't understand what Your Majesty means......"
"You understand, you just don't want to say it, you're waiting for me to reveal my thoughts. Since you've told me even the methods of the Aspirant, you should be more sincere. ”
"Hehe, get used to it. Well, let me guess: the Cui family wants to use His Majesty to regain the orthodox status of Emperor Huan's lineage, and His Majesty wants to use the power of the Cui family to defeat the Queen Mother and return to the throne of the Son of Heaven. From the point of view of time, His Majesty took advantage of the Cui family to occupy a more advantageous position. ”
Han Ruzi shook his head, "No, the Cui family just wants to push me to be the first bird, to test the hearts of the people in the world, you don't have to make me the emperor, you just need to call on the world in my name, and when the world responds and the court is in turmoil, you can secretly get rid of me." blame the Queen Mother, and then continue to seize power under the banner of avenging me. The king of the East China Sea is naturally the emperor. If the world refuses to respond, the Cui family will still get rid of me, show favor to the Queen Mother, and protect the safety of the King of the East China Sea. So I don't have an advantage at all in terms of time. ”
"Hmmm......"
"You're here again, otherwise, you'd better find Chun Yuxiao and ask him to talk to me, and until he arrives, everything will remain the same."
"This ...... Your Majesty's departure from Beijing this time is too sudden, the teacher will not be able to come back for a while, we have gathered too many people, and within three or five days, the government will definitely be vigilant......"
"Then let the government rescue me, and I will go back to the capital to continue to be a tired marquis, which is safer than now."
Lin Kunshan smiled and patted his head on the head, "I always can't turn a corner, I told Your Majesty the secret of the exercises of the Qi Seeker, and it was also my teacher who asked me to do this, and he also said that I must be frank and sincere to Your Majesty, but if you are an emperor, your plan is very big......"
Lin Kunshan nagged for a while, and said: "The teacher did leave a plan, there are some martial arts masters inside and outside the Beijing Division, and they owe the favor of the teacher, as long as I open my mouth, they will all come over to protect Your Majesty, although these people can't charge into battle, but with them, the Cui family ......"
Han Ruzi directly shook his head and vetoed, "This plan is not good, Cui Hong is in charge of the Southern Army, once he gains power, no matter how many martial arts masters will not be able to block the impact of the iron cavalry, what I want is not safety within ten steps, but a guarantee beyond ten steps." ”
Lin Kunshan was silent.
Han Ruzi urged: "Chun Yuxiao must leave you more than this plan, say it, if you delay it any longer, you can only go to the Tihou Mansion to find me." ”
Lin Kunshan said with a smile: "The teacher does have a plan, but if he says that the situation is not particularly critical, try not to use it." ”
"If I have to wait until the catastrophe strikes, then I'd rather not be involved in it."
"Hehe, Your Majesty is really cautious. His Majesty is worried that the Cui family will make a move against His Majesty in advance, so he will ask a hostage from the Cui family to stay by his side, so that everything can be saved. ”
"King of the East Sea?"
"Exactly."
"I thought about it a long time ago, but Cui Hong will not let the king of the East China Sea be a hostage, I am too weak for the Cui family, I even suspect that he will send someone to kill me today, and still frame the queen mother and tell the world."
Lin Kunshan smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty is too worried, no one knows what the people in the world think, and the master can only see a little bit of his eyebrows with his unpredictable divine skills." Cui Hong didn't know anything, and His Majesty also said that Cui Hong launched His Majesty to see the reaction of the people in the world, and before that, he was reluctant to kill His Majesty. ”
"Do you have a way to convince Cui Hong to hand over the King of the East China Sea?"
"Cui Hong trusts the Qi Seeker, of course, I have to give him a little reassurance, the martial arts master who was used to protect His Majesty before must now be used to protect the King of the East China Sea. But please believe that these martial arts masters are the same as those who want to be angry, and it is Your Majesty who really supports them, once the King of the East China Sea gains power, it is the Cui family that will benefit the most, and we will get a little reward at most, but Your Majesty is different. ”
Lin Kunshan didn't say any more, just smiled.
Of course, Han Ruzi is different, he has nothing, and he can assist him to regain the throne, and his achievements will naturally be greater, Han Ruzi said with a smile: "As long as the Qi Seeker can be honest with me, I am naturally willing to share the world with all the monarchs." ”
Lin Kunshan laughed a few times, and suddenly stopped, "After the master returns to Beijing, he will talk about the bigger things, I will only do what I do, and when the people here are almost together, I will go to see Cui Hong." ”
"Don't wait, I can deal with the matter here, please Mr. Lin leave immediately."
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry."
"I have to be in a hurry, I feel uneasy not to see the King of the East Sea. Didn't want to do anything. ”
Lin Kunshan laughed again. "Okay. Since Your Majesty has issued an edict, I cannot fail to obey it, and the newcomers today are more complicated, so please be careful in everything, and I will bring back the King of the East China Sea before dawn tomorrow at the latest. ”
The hopeful takes his leave.
Han Ruzi didn't believe in the Cui family, let alone the hopeful, he took Lin Kunshan. Just want to carry out their own "secret plan".
Thinking about it, Han Ruzi felt that it was impossible to win in this "game" of mutual use, he was too lonely, so lonely that no one was available, he had to find a few truly credible people, even if it was a risk, he would not hesitate to do so.
The first credible person he chose was Yang Feng, but Yang Feng was the chief of the Northern Army, and he "rebelled" on the lakeside in the south of Jingnan, with an entire capital in between.
He had to find another credible person to contact Yang Feng. This is what he will do after he takes Lin Kunshan.
A few more newcomers arrived. The largest group of them was no longer the nearby villagers, but the robbers who gathered in the mountains and forests.
Two days ago. If someone told Han Ruzi that there were bandits within a few dozen miles of the capital, it would be hard for him to believe it, but now he had to see it with his own eyes.
The new robbers are not the same as the people who are forced to rob in the riverside village, whether the world is peaceful or not, and whether the government is tight or not, they will run this business.
This group of professional robbers was also very bold, and when they saw the blood-stained battle flag, they laughed at it, and as soon as they entered the village, they shouted to see the emperor, and ordered the villagers to bring wine and meat, and they were not many in number, only forty or fifty people, but they had real knives, guns, axes and forks in their hands, which frightened a large number of people.
Lin Kunshan left, and the Chao father and son served as organizers, and these people were not allowed to meet the "emperor" in person.
Han Ruzi decided to summon them, and first called a dozen people to serve as temporary guards, these people were strong and strong, and they were the most active last night, and they lacked respect for the emperor, but the reason was that they were simple and did not understand the rules, which was not the same thing as the arrogance of the robbers.
Han Ruzi gave an explanation to them and sent Chaohua to summon the robbers.
The three robber leaders were brought into the small courtyard of the Chao family, the others waited outside, and the righteous men who had arrived before also gathered and looked at the robbers, not very convinced by each other.
Han Ruzi sat on a bench in front of the door, and in the room behind him, the Jin family was arguing quietly, and it didn't take long for the sound to disappear completely.
The leader of the robbers was not tall, but he was very strong, he looked fierce, his hair was unkempt, he carried a big axe on his shoulder, he stood in front of the "emperor" without kneeling, looking up and down, and the two deputy leaders were also unruly, carrying long knives, looking around, although the number was small, but they were not afraid at all, they had long been accustomed to the obedience of the villagers, and had often robbed villages with several times the population of their own.
"You're the Emperor?" The leader asked.
"I am, which man is Your Excellency?"
"Ha, did you hear me, the emperor called me a good man. This hero's name is Duan Wanshan......" An exclamation sounded outside the courtyard, and Duan Wanshan became more and more proud, "It turns out that I am still a little famous, has the emperor heard of me?" ”
Han Ruzi shook his head.
Duan Wanshan's face was slightly gloomy, "Lao Tzu has been crisscrossing southern Beijing for seven or eight years, and has fought dozens of big and small battles with officers and soldiers, and has never lost, I heard that the emperor here needs help, so I came over to take a look, and the rewards given are many, so we will stay and help, and be a general, if there is no reward, we will still do our old job." ”
"Only after the deed is done will there be a reward, a heavy reward."
"Haha, Lao Tzu is not interested in the reward of vain brains."
"Then there's no way, go slowly, don't send it."
Duan Wanshan didn't leave, "Let's go, but we can't come for nothing, we have to take something with us." ”
Duan Wanshan took the giant axe off his shoulder, held the handle of the axe with both hands, and struck it twice, "You are really the emperor?" How much can your head be worth? ”
"It's hard to say, it depends on who you're going to sell to."
"Haha, you kid is not small. Whoever bids higher I sell to. Duan Wanshan stared left and right, and said to Chao's father and son: "Who wants to fight with me?" ”
Disgruntled voices sounded in the crowd, the two people behind Duan Wanshan raised their long knives, and dozens of minions outside the courtyard also gently waved their weapons, scaring the people around them back a few steps, but they were still between them and the leader.
The father and son of the Chao family and more than a dozen temporary guards all looked at the "emperor" and waited for his order.
After waiting for a while, Han Ruzi said, "There will be no one in the world who bids higher than me." ”
"But Lao Tzu wants to cash in immediately, can you?"
"Yes." Han Ruzi nodded, and gestured to the temporary guards, and more than a dozen people bent down, picked up the boat penny that had been placed behind them before, aimed at the bandit leader, and protected the emperor.
Duan Wanshan was stunned, "What are you doing?" Do you want to hold the boat on Lao Tzu? ”
Han Ruzi learned this trick from the eunuch Cai Xinghai, and was about to give the order to attack, when a voice behind him said, "Get out of the way." ”
Han Ruzi tilted his body and saw an arrow on the bowstring with his peripheral vision.
Jin Traido had just quarreled with his father, and his anger must be vented.
