When Pak Liang and Chen Sangonge led their troops out of the camp of the Inner Guard, Kim Jong-seo was "escorted" to the barracks of the New Korean Army in Seoul by the military attache of the round-faced Inner Guard.

"Who?" At this time, the gate of the barracks was closed, leaving only a side door for entry and exit on the side, and four soldiers were on duty here, and when they saw Jin Zongrui and his party coming, one soldier immediately shouted vigilantly.

"Lord Jin has something important to see your general." The round-faced military attache replied in a deep voice when he heard this.

"Lord Kim?" The soldiers on duty couldn't help but look at each other in amazement when they heard this, and they didn't know who the other party's "Lord Kim" was referring to, after all, "Kim" was the surname of the Korean State, and there were several officials with the surname Kim who could be called "Lord", and God knows which one came.

"Lord Kim!" When Jin Zongrui came closer, the soldiers on duty knew that it was him, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The new Korean troops stationed in Seoul mainly came from the six towns in the northeast and the four counties in the northwest, so the soldiers on duty in front of the gate recognized Kim Zongrui, after all, Kim Zongrui had been in charge of the six towns in the northeast for many years, and he had a very high prestige and influence among the soldiers in the six towns in the northeast.

Moreover, Kim Jong-seo was in charge of the reorganization of the Korean New Army, and he visited the New Army barracks in Seoul many times to inspect and eat and live with the soldiers, so almost everyone in the barracks knew him.

Therefore, the soldiers on duty naturally did not stop Jin Zongrui, and after Jin Zongrui bowed slightly to them, he entered the side door and went straight to the residence of the general of the army.

Since its establishment, the Korean New Army has implemented strict rules and regulations, in which military attachés at all levels must live in barracks, and middle and high-ranking military attachés can bring their families to live in residential areas in barracks, which is convenient for management and ensures the safety of the people, and can respond immediately if something happens.

The soldiers and sentries patrolling in the barracks know Jin Zongrui, according to the regulations, Jin Zongrui should say the code words or he will be detained, but Jin Zongrui is not an ordinary person, he said that he wants to see the commander of the new army, how dare those patrolling soldiers and sentry posts stop it?

The commander of the new Korean army stationed in Seoul was named Li Cheng, a general who was picked up by Kim Jong-seo, and after being woken up from his sleep by the guards, he hurriedly put on his military uniform and went to the living room to see Kim Jong-seo.

"My lord, why are you here? What's the matter? ”

After seeing Jin Zongrui sitting in the living room with an expressionless face, Li Cheng asked with a surprised face, he never expected Jin Zongrui to come at this time, and thought that Jin Zongrui had something important to explain to him.

"Lord Li, my family has received a secret report that some Japanese invaders have infiltrated Seoul, and they are preparing to disguise themselves as Ming soldiers to be unfavorable to the loyal prince, so my family came to discuss with Lord Li and send troops to block the Japanese invaders, so as not to meet the misfortune of the loyal prince." Without waiting for Jin Zongrui to speak, the round-faced military attache standing behind him took the lead in bowing down and speaking.

"Is that so?" Li Cheng was taken aback when he heard this, looked at Jin Zongrui with a stunned expression, and ignored the round-faced military attaché's "mouthy" for a while, it was obvious that the round-faced military attache should not speak at this time, because there was no part for him to speak at all.

Jin Zongrui's brows furrowed, and after glancing at the round-faced military attache standing on the side and monitoring him, he nodded, now not only Kim Seung-gyu, but the entire Jin Mansion is under the control of Pu Liang, as long as he makes a slight mistake, then the Jin Mansion will probably bleed.

If only the soldiers of the Inner Janissary were not worried about the safety of his family, with his prestige in the Korean army, it is estimated that few people would dare to attack his family, but later he found that the people who entered the Jin Mansion to guard his family were not the Inner Guards but the Japanese Guards, which made him surprised, you must know that the Japanese would not care about his face and show mercy to his family.

According to Pu Liang's plan, he didn't want to control the Jin Mansion, thinking that capturing Jin Chenggui and his wife was enough to threaten Jin Zongrui, but Chen Sangongzi thought that Pu Liang had some kindness as a woman, and in order to force Jin Zongrui to comply, he let his subordinates enter the Jin Mansion to coerce Jin Zongrui, and deliberately showed the identity of the Japanese to exert pressure on him.

This made Kim Zongrui's mood very complicated, and he had to do what Park Liang told him to do to avoid his family from suffering, but he knew that what Park Liang did tonight would bring great disaster to Seoul and even Korea, so he couldn't sit back and ignore this matter, and his heart was extremely conflicted.

"My lord, this matter is very important, have you notified Prince Zhong so that he can take precautions?" Seeing Jin Zongrui nodding, Li Cheng suddenly understood the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly said to Jin Zongrui.

"Lord Li, it is precisely because this matter is so important that my family adults came to discuss with adults."

The corners of Jin Zongrui's mouth squirmed when he heard this, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it, after all, he had his own psychological bottom line, and seeing this situation, the round-faced military attache lost no time in whispering, "My family suspects that people from the Ming Army are involved in this matter, and once the news is leaked, I am afraid that the situation will be intensified." ”

"What...... What the? Li Cheng saw that Jin Zongrui seemed to have something unspeakable, and was secretly curious, and after hearing the words of the round-faced military attaché, he was stunned for a moment, with a look of hard to believe you, he naturally heard the meaning of the round-faced military attaché's words, could it be that someone in the Ming army wanted to assassinate Li Yuntian?

"Lord Li, according to the news that my family has gotten, the party strife within the Ming Dynasty is disturbing, and in order to control the situation in the Ming Dynasty, the forces in the capital of the Ming Dynasty do not want to let Prince Zhong go back."

The round-faced military attache knew that it was difficult for Jin Zongrui's person to lie about such a major incident, so he did not reluctantly embarrass him, but did it for him with interest, and whispered to Li Cheng, "My family is worried that you have someone from the other party around your loyal prince, and once you act rashly, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"If there is any accident in Lord Zhong, it will be a big disaster if North Korea is implicated because of this." As he spoke, the round-faced military attache said deliberately worriedly.

"I see!" Li Cheng nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, which explained why Jin Zongrui came to him late at night instead of informing Li Yuntian, it seemed that Li Yuntian's side was planted with spies.

I have to say that Pu Liang thought that using the party struggle in the Ming court as an excuse was an excellent way to deceive Li Cheng, so Li Cheng was deceived for a while.

Seeing Li Cheng's sudden realization, Jin Zongrui's brows couldn't help frowning, and his mood became more and more uneasy, he originally expected Li Cheng to see something strange from his silence, but now that he sees it, Li Cheng is not suspicious at all, if he continues like this, he will definitely be led by the nose of the round-faced military attaché.

"Lord Li, since my family has no official position now, I can only ask Lord Li to do the next thing."

Seeing that Li Cheng had been deceived, the round-faced military attache flashed a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Cheng with a serious expression and said:

"As far as my family knows, someone in the Ming army wants to deliberately create an attack on the secretary office of the lecture hall, and then take the opportunity to transfer the loyal Ming soldiers into the secretary office, and take advantage of the chaos to kill the loyal prince, if he can't stop him from doing this, then he will definitely put the responsibility on our North Korea, and let North Korea meet the wrath of the Ming Emperor at that time!"

"This ...... It's so vicious! Li Cheng was stupid when he heard this, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he looked at Jin Zongrui with a grim face, and asked eagerly, "My lord, what should I do now?" ”

Although Kim Jong-seo has been dismissed from his post and is no longer the deputy commander of the DPRK Metropolitan Division, and although Li Chenggui is the commander of the new army of the DPRK in Seoul, Kim Jong-rui's official rank is still and at the same time he is Li Cheng's old superior, so Li Cheng should be humbly called "lowly in front of him".

In the face of the urgent situation in front of him, Li Cheng, who did not have the slightest psychological preparation, was already in a mess, and once Li Yuntian had an accident, no one in the DPRK could afford this responsibility.

Moreover, Li Cheng believed that if Li Yuntian had anything to do in the chaos at night, then the generals of the Ming army would definitely put the blame on North Korea for self-protection, and the anger of the Ming Emperor would definitely ignite the whole of Korea.

"Lord Li, what my lord means is that we intercept those Ming troops who want to be unfavorable to Prince Zhong, so that we can avoid Lord Zhong from being harmed."

The round-faced military attache bowed to Li Cheng when he heard this, and said in an orderly voice, "There are hundreds of guards loyal to the prince in the military affairs office of the martial arts hall, as long as those Ming rebels cannot get close to the affairs office of the martial arts hall, then the loyal prince is safe." ”

It was only at this time that Li Cheng finally noticed the young military attache who had been replying in place of Jin Zongrui, and felt that the round-faced military attache looked a little as if he had never seen it before.

"Your Excellency, have you really decided to do this?" However, Li Cheng was not in the mood to ponder the identity of the round-faced military attache now, and then looked at Jin Zongrui with an anxious face, mobilizing the army without authorization was a matter of losing his head, and it was also to intercept the Ming army, so he would be labeled as a rebel.

Jin Zongrui suddenly fell silent when he heard this, he didn't know how to answer Li Cheng, he didn't want to see his family suffer a bloody disaster, but once he did what Pu Liang said, then Seoul would be a river of blood.

"My lord, without further delay, it will be a big mistake." Seeing Jin Zongrui's hesitation, the round-faced military attache stepped forward and bowed to remind.

"Go, gather the generals in the army, this officer has something to announce." Jin Zongrui naturally knew that the round-faced military attache was threatening him, and when he heard this, his eyes couldn't help but flash coldly, and he glared at the round-faced military attache coldly, and then instructed Li Cheng, "Transfer your guards, this officer doesn't want to make any mistakes." ”

"Obedience." Since Jin Zongrui had spoken, Li Cheng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to act, because it was not clear whether there were any comrades in the military attache regiment of the Ming army in the new Korean army who wanted to murder Li Yuntian and his gang, so he asked people not to alarm the instructors of the military attache regiment of the Ming army.

"Lord Jin, you have done a good job, as long as the people of the new army and the reinforcements of the Ming army fight, then the lord's mansion and the eldest prince will be released safely."

After Li Cheng hurriedly left to make arrangements, the round-faced military attache bowed to Jin Zongrui with a smile, very satisfied with his previous performance.

"Humph!" When Jin Zongrui heard this, he immediately sneered, and did not pay attention to the round-faced military attaché, he is now in a position of coercion, where would he be kind to the round-faced military attaché.

The round-faced military attache was not annoyed when he saw this, and after smiling slightly, he whispered to the men he brought with him, and no one noticed the strange light in his eyes.

Jin Zongrui looked at the courtyard expressionlessly, the bright moonlight pouring on the ground looked a little cold, and his state of mind at this time was like falling into an ice cave, so cold that it could freeze people.
