Chu Lianyu said slowly: "Jiankang to Liuhe, the road is far away, not to mention thousands of miles, during which it is inevitable to encounter jackals, tigers and leopards, horse bandits and bandits, and it is reasonable to have so many accidents!"

Lu Kai pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and asked, "I don't know, who will Lord Chu let the accident happen?"

Chu Lianyu looked up and smiled, and said, "I have to think about it again and think about it carefully." Speaking of this, he changed his words, looked Lu Kai up and down, and asked, "Lu Kai, are you okay with your injuries?"

Lu Kai took a deep breath, clenched his fist and hammered his breastplate, and laughed heartily: "I have been cured a long time ago, Lord Chu doesn't have to worry." ”

"That's good, it's a long way, it's bumpy and tiring, don't hurt yourself. Chu Lianyu said: "When I left the city, I had a carriage ready, and you can take the carriage." ”

"Lord Chu is thoughtful, and the last general is grateful. Lu Kai bowed.

Lu Kai's words really made Chu Lianyu feel good, of course the king in Liuhe is different from in Jiankang, and his own control over the king cannot be as tight as in Jiankang, if there is really a minister in the court and the central government secretly bewitching the king, I don't know what kind of chaos will happen.

At present, a considerable number of the ministers of the imperial court are people in the army, and these people can be trusted, while the other part is the old ministers of the imperial court, some of them are sincerely inclined to their own side, but there are also those who are detached, and these people are the greatest threat to their own side.

It's just that who is sincerely obedient to Jin Guo, and who is detached from Jin Guo's appearance, Chu Lianyu can't make a judgment for a while, and he still needs to think carefully about this matter.

Zhao Yu, as well as the ministers of the imperial court and the ministers of the Jin State, were escorted by the Third Army Corps, leaving Jiankang and heading south. Go straight to the Willow River.

From Jiankang to Liuhe, it is indeed a long way to pass through most of Modi, and the entire Andi is indeed very long. Originally, it would take a long time on the road, and Chu Lianyu specially ordered Lu Kai to not worry. Just take it slowly.

Lu Kai didn't understand what Chu Lianyu meant, but according to his instructions, he ordered the soldiers of the whole army to move forward slowly.

On the way, the speed of the Third Army was extremely slow, and it stopped and stopped, and at the end of the day, it often could not even go for thirty miles, such a slow speed of turtle travel. Even if you can't go to the Willow River for half a year.

After only two days, Zhao Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

If he came out to play, it would be nothing, he could still enjoy the scenery along the way, the key is that he is going home now, his heart is like an arrow, he can't wait to have wings on his back, and fly back to the palace in Liuhe at once. Where can you stand such a speed?

Zhao Yu sent someone to find Chu Lianyu, and it didn't take long. The maid brought Chu Lianyu over.

Seeing Zhao Yu, Chu Lianyu straightened the official uniform on his body, stepped forward to salute, and arched his hand and said, "The lower official will see the king!"

"Aiqing is flat!" Zhao Yu subconsciously leaned forward and waved his hand to Chu Lianyu again and again.

"I don't know what the king is doing when he comes to find a lower official?" Chu Lianyu asked with a puzzled face.

"Chu Aiqing, how many miles can we walk in a day now?"

Chu Lianyu replied: "Return to the king." Now the journey is thirty miles a day. ”

"In other words, we haven't walked a hundred miles since we left Jiankang?"

"Yes!"

"And when are we going to get to the Willow River?"

Chu Lianyu calculated carefully, and replied cautiously: "According to the journey of thirty miles a day, it will take two hundred and twenty-five days to reach the Liuhe River. ”

Zhao Yu almost laughed angrily when he heard this. What did he want to listen to, Chu Lianyu also calculated a specific date for himself, and he said, "Lord Chu, can't you speed up your journey? Do you have to delay for so long to reach Liuhe?"

Chu Lianyu's face was full of helplessness, and he said: "The king doesn't know, it's not that the lower officials don't want to arrive at Liuhe quickly, but there is really no way!"

Zhao Yu asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?"

Chu Lianyu said: "This time I went to Liuhe, the adults of the imperial court all moved with their families, all of them brought a large number of family members and a large number of objects, there were hundreds of carriages loaded with goods alone, and most of them were precious and heavy things, and the lower officials couldn't get up quickly if they wanted to speed up the march!"

This is something that Zhao Yu has never thought about, recall, as Chu Lianyu said, it is indeed a big burden for the ministers of the court to drag their families and mouths, which greatly slows down the speed of travel.

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes, cleared his throat, and said: "Lord Chu, do you see if this will work, divide the soldiers who escorted this king into two waves, one wave escorted this king first, and the other wave escorted all Aiqing slowly, so that the family members of Aiqing would no longer delay the time for this king to return to Beijing." ”

Zhao Yu's meaning was exactly what Chu Lianyu wanted, and the latter was embarrassed, and after pondering for a while, Fang Mian said reluctantly: "Since it is the king's will, the lower officials will do it." ”

"That's annoying Aiqing. Seeing that Chu Lianyu agreed, Zhao Yu was overjoyed.

Chu Lianyu hurriedly bowed down and said, "The king killed the lower officials. ”

According to Zhao Yu's 'intention', Chu Lianyu divided the Third Army into two parts, one part was responsible for protecting the king first, and the other part was responsible for protecting the ministers of the court and their families.

The 100,000 soldiers of the Third Legion were not divided in half, but a wave of 90,000, a wave of 10,000, 90,000 soldiers to protect the king, and 10,000 of the old, weak, sick and disabled were responsible for escorting the ministers of the court.

Of course, he has his reasons for arranging this, the king is the most important thing, no matter what, there can be no mistakes, naturally he has to send heavy troops to protect him, compared with it, the ministers of the court are insignificant, and leaving 10,000 soldiers with him is already considered to be taken care of. Of course, if there is any accident in the future, then no one will be able to find his head and blame him.

Chu Lianyu and other ministers of the Jin State followed Zhao Yu and went to Liuhe first.

Without the ministers and their families to drag them down, the speed of the Third Army seemed to have suddenly exploded, from the original 30 days to 300 days, and the whole army was on a rapid march.

On the road, in Chu Lianyu's carriage.

At this time, there were two people in the carriage, one was Chu Lianyu, and the other was a man dressed in black with an expressionless face.

Chu Lianyu sat cross-legged. The man sat on his knees.

Chu Lianyu picked up the teacup, looked at the man at the same time, and asked slowly, "Have you remembered everything I told you clearly?"

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will keep it in mind!"

"Yes, the Demon Warrior has never disappointed adults. I hope this time, you don't let me down either. Chu Lianyu held the teacup, slowly blew the hot tea inside, then took out a hand, took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to the man with a cold expression, and said indifferently: "This is the list, and all the people in the list must not be kept." Even his family members will be slaughtered, and the defenders will have greeted them, and they will cooperate with you. ”

Chu Lianyu's skill in eradicating hidden dangers is very clever, if those ministers of the imperial court die in an 'accident' under the protection of the 100,000 Third Army Corps, it is impossible to say that he is eager to return to Beijing in any case, he takes advantage of Zhao Yu's eagerness to return to Beijing. Let Zhao Yu take the initiative to separate and hurry, and then he will naturally follow the holy order. What happened next has nothing to do with him and the Jin Kingdom, he is responsible, and that is also the responsibility of the king.

Through this incident, Chu Lianyu's insidious cunning can be seen, and of course, it can also be said that he is smart and wise.

Long story short, after Zhao Yu and the ministers of the court separated. Under the protection of the main force of the Third Army, it only took more than a month to rush from Jiankang to Liuhe.

Lin Haotian, Peng Qian, and the generals of the Jin Army, who were in Liuhe, all went out of the city to greet them.

Finally arrived at Liuhe, Zhao Yu was so excited that he trembled, he was supported by the maids and stepped out of the carriage, looking at the high erected city wall in front of him. and the banner of the Jin Kingdom fluttering on the head of the city, Zhao Yu couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lin Haotian took the lead in stepping forward, bowed his hand, and said, "The lower official has seen the king!"

Zhao Yu came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Lin Haotian, and he hurriedly stepped forward, holding Lin Haotian's arm and said in a trembling voice: "Aiqing, don't be polite, hurry up!"

Lin Haotian smiled slightly and said, "The king has worked hard all the way, hurry up and enter the city!"

"Good, good, good!" Zhao Yu nodded repeatedly.

Lin Haotian turned around and waved his hand to the back, and soon, a golden carriage pulled by eight horses slowly came over, and on the left and right of the carriage, there were also young women dressed as palace maids.

Lin Haotian smiled at Zhao Yu and said, "King, please!"

Knowing that this was the ride that Lin Haotian had prepared for himself, Zhao Yu nodded gratefully, walked to the carriage lightly, and was supported by the palace maids to board the carriage.

Until he got into the car, he felt as if he was in the clouds, as if he was in a dream.

However, he didn't notice at all that the maids who came with him all the way from Jiankang were isolated by the Jin army, and the palace maids who were now serving him were all unfamiliar faces.

At this time, Chu Lianyu stepped forward from behind, gently cleared his throat, and then arched his hand and said, "My lord!"

Lin Haotian looked at Chu Lianyu and said with a smile: "Chu Lianyu, it's been a hard journey!"

Chu Lianyu said: "Hearing the news of the recovery of Liuhe, Xia Guan was overjoyed, it was too late to be happy, where can I take care of the hard work or not." ”

"Haha!" Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and said, "You and Peng Qian have both arrived in Liuhe, and my heart has stabilized a lot, let's go, go into the city and talk." ”

The carriages of Lin Haotian, Zhao Yu and others entered the palace one after another, and in the large square of the palace, the carriages stopped one after another, and Zhao Yu was supported by a palace maid and got down from the carriage timidly.

He looked up and looked around, his body was trembling, only to see a soldier with bright armor standing in the square, and as far as the eye could see, a large area of dense pressing, bright head tassels formed a sea of red, and the spears and halberds erected were like trees.

Seeing Zhao Yu get out of the carriage, the generals standing in front of the soldiers shouted loudly: "Welcome to the holy car-"

With the shouts of the generals, thousands of soldiers in the square knelt on one knee one after another, and for a while, the noise made when the armor was rubbed on the scene became one piece.

Such a big battle, Zhao Yu has not seen it for a long time, he is somewhat uncomfortable, his mouth opened unconsciously, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

At this time, Lin Haotian walked forward slowly, he smiled at Zhao Yu and said, "King, please enter the main hall!"

"Good, good, good. Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva and leaned forward, but his feet seemed to be glued to the ground, and he never stepped out.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, the mud couldn't support the wall. This could not be more appropriate for Zhao Yu, he smiled and said again: "King, please!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the generals on both sides of the aisle.

All the generals and officials understood, and shouted in unison again: "Welcome to the Holy Driver-"

"Congratulations, welcome, saint, drive-" The thousands of soldiers present shouted in unison, and the cheers shook the sky. The echo lingered for a long time.

Zhao Yu was so frightened by the deafening shout that his body trembled, and he almost collapsed to the ground, he walked forward quickly as if he was being chased by a ghost.

Passing through the square and ascending the long steps, there are palace guards who slowly open the door of the palace hall, Zhao Yu raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw the majestic hall and the high, golden imperial chair.

I heard that the palace had been looted several times. Zhao Yu thought that the palace had already changed beyond recognition, but he didn't expect that it had not changed at all, and it was exactly the same as when he left.

He stood at the door of the main hall, but hesitated, not knowing whether to enter or not.

He turned his head, looked at Lin Haotian, and said cautiously, "Aiqing." This ......"

Lin Haotian smiled slightly and said, "King." Please come in!"

Zhao Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and walked into the main hall. The hall was spacious and empty, silent and silent, and the sound of rustling echoes when walking on the mirror-smooth marble.

Zhao Yu walked all the way to the throne. was about to sit up, but suddenly stopped his steps, looked back at Lin Haotian, and saw that the latter nodded to him, so he slowly sat down on the throne.

As Zhao Yu sat down. In addition to Lin Haotian, Chu Lianyu, Peng Qian and other ministers who followed up knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The ministers shouted in unison, and the soldiers outside also shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live......

Zhao Yu, who was sitting on the throne, looked a little at a loss, first looked at the people below, and then looked at the throne he was sitting on, and after a long time, his nervous mood gradually calmed down.

He took a deep breath, sat up straight, waved to the people below and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, flat!"

"King Xie!" the kneeling crowd stood up one after another.

Lin Haotian said to Zhao Yu above: "King, during this period of time, the lower officials have renovated the palace, I wonder if the king is still satisfied?"

The palace was originally renovated by Yanguo, but now it is all due to Lin Haotian.

Zhao Yu nodded again and again, and exclaimed: "Aiqing, the palace is so well repaired, it makes this king not know what to say!"

Lin Haotian smiled leisurely and said, "As long as the king likes it." ”

After a pause, Lin Haotian said with a straight face: "Now, there are 15,000 palace guards and 3,300 palace maids...... He gave Zhao Yu a detailed introduction to the current situation in the palace.

Zhao Yu had no interest in any of this, he just wanted to go back to his dormitory now to have a look.

Finally waiting for Lin Haotian to finish his introduction, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Aiqing, this king is a little tired, I want to go back and rest first, these trivial matters, Aiqing can handle them." ”

Lin Haotian smiled and said, "It's that the lower officials are confused, and they forgot that the king came from a long journey." As he spoke, he arched his hand and said, "King, retire!"

"Ministers are leaving!" Chu Lianyu, Peng Qian and other ministers bowed down and withdrew from the hall one after another.

When Lin Haotian walked out of the palace, Chu Lianyu quickly chased after him, he came to Lin Haotian and said, "My lord!"

Lin Haotian looked at him with a smile and asked, "Lian Yu, is there something wrong?" After a pause, he smiled again: "You won't come to tell me about Peng Qian's situation, right?" In fact, I can understand Peng Qian's intentions, and his opinions also have his reason......

Without waiting for Lin Haotian to finish speaking, Chu Lianyu shook his head and said, "My lord, this is not what the lower official wants to say. He and Peng Qian were the first to assist Lin Haotian, how could he not understand Peng Qian's character, and Peng Qian would never be inferior to him in his loyalty to the Jin Kingdom and the adults.

He frowned and said, "Xia Guan didn't know that the lord had the intention of moving the capital to Liuhe, so I'm afraid he did something inappropriate in private. ”

Lin Haotian was confused, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chu Lianyu looked left and right, then bypassed the table, walked directly to Lin Haotian's side, knelt down, and said in a low voice: "Xia Guan is worried that the king will be provoked by 'traitors' in Liuhe and unexpected changes will happen, so on the way to Liuhe, Xia Guan instructed the demon underworld warriors to ...... some unreliable ministers in the court" Speaking of this, he raised his hand and made a cross-cutting gesture.

Lin Haotian took a breath and asked, "Kill them all?"

"It's only partial. ”

"How many are there?"

"There were twenty-six ministers, and nearly a thousand of them, including their families. Chu Lianyu said cautiously. This is not a trivial matter, and it is a decision he made privately without Lin Haotian's consent, and now he regrets that his decision was too hasty.

Lin Haotian pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the Demon Martial Artist already succeeded?"

"Xia Guan is not clear, but it has been more than a month, and Xia Guan is worried that the demon underworld warrior has already acted. ”

"Immediately pass on the letter to the demon warrior personnel assigned by you, if you don't do it, stop the action, if you have already done it, then do it cleanly, don't leave any clues, if the matter is revealed, spread it......" Lin Haotian didn't finish the following words.

Chu Lianyu nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, the lower official immediately went to send a message to the demon martial artist, this time, it was the lower official who was too hasty......

Lin Haotian smiled, patted Chu Lianyu on the shoulder, and said, "I don't blame you, you are right to worry about it, and you are not wrong to do it, it is always good to prevent problems before they happen!"

Chu Lianyu sighed and said, "When the lord says so, the lower officials will be relieved." (To be continued......)
