Chuzhou and Yingtian are indeed not far apart, but it is much slower to bring the complicated guard of honor and tens of thousands of troops to escort them. It took Yan Ling more than half a month to finally come to Chuzhou City, the base camp of Zhu Yuanzhang's early entrepreneurship.

At this time, after several years of governance, the people of Chuzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the war and chaos of the year were no longer there.

And in the center of the city is the residence of the Great Song Emperor Han Lin'er.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still very good to his titular emperor. He built a huge and luxurious palace in the city of Chuzhou for him to live in, and paid tribute every year for his amusement, so to speak, this little Ming king got everything except power.

At this time, Yan Ling was standing in front of this splendid palace.

As an important minister of the Wu regime, the guards did not dare to have the slightest contempt, and had already run in to pass the ceremony, and at this time they trotted all the way to Yan Ling, and said breathlessly:

"Your Majesty, please."

Yan Ling bowed slightly, and his own soldiers automatically lined up on both sides, waiting at the door of the main hall, and he untied the sword at his waist and strode inside.

There is no need to be wary of anything, he has already communicated with the guards of Chuzhou City, and now the soldiers in the palace are all at his disposal. Even if Han Lin'er still had one or two loyal ministers, they couldn't pose any threat to him.

Han Lin'er sat in the palatial hall, of course, it had never summoned the ministers here, and now it welcomed its first and last visitor.

Yan Ling knelt on the ground and saluted, without dragging his feet: "Weichen Pingzhang is a political affairs Yan Ling, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Aiqing is flat." Han Lin'er is a middle-aged man in his early thirties. Although he is not young, his temperament is extremely cowardly. Although he was the emperor, he never held power in person, and in his early years, he was controlled by Prime Minister Liu Futong, and later came to Chuzhou, and the government affairs had nothing to do with him. When Zhu Yuanzhang called himself King Wu before, he not only didn't dare to put a fart, but also hurriedly issued an edict to correct Zhu Yuanzhang's name, which shows the truth of his so-called emperor.

However, perhaps it is such a weak personality that allows him to survive in this troubled era at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. For Zhu Yuanzhang's request, he did not dare to disobey.

"Your Majesty, on the orders of King Wu, please ask Your Majesty to move Yingtian to show orthodoxy." Naturally, someone had already told him the news that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to take Han Lin'er to Yingtian, so Han Lin'er was not surprised.

"King Wu has a heart. I'm ready, just waiting for Aiqing to arrive. ”

"Then please let Your Majesty go, the carriage has been prepared, and the rest of the things in the palace will be sent to Yingtian, just follow the minister." Yan Ling stood up straight, although his words sounded respectful, his expression was indifferent, and his tone was a little commanding and blunt, without the slightest respect for the Heavenly Family.

Would the butcher be polite to the lamb to the slaughter on the board?

"Okay, according to you, according to your ......" Facing the rudeness of his subordinates, Han Lin'er was laughing with him, the other party was an important minister of Wu State, and he didn't dare to offend.

"Slow!" At this moment, a figure flashed out beside Han Lin'er, and he said loudly: "If Your Majesty wants to move, since King Wu personally came to invite him, and only sent his courtiers to pick him up, wouldn't it be contempt for Your Majesty?" Let the prince of Wu come to greet him! ”

Yan Ling immediately retorted:

"Now that Jiangnan has been decided, there are still more thieves in central Fujian and Guangdong, and His Royal Highness has every opportunity to do his best to restore the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally he can't come in person. If the fighter plane is delayed because of this, can you be responsible? ”

The man opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say to refute him, Yan Ling's words were to occupy the righteousness, if Han Lin'er insisted on the other party to pick it up, it would seem that he was stupid.

"You are?" At this time, Yan Ling also saw the face of this person clearly, and couldn't help but ask out loud. Han Lin'er was basically ignored in King Wu's regime, after all, even the guards in his palace were soldiers of Wu State, and he was a powerless "emperor", so he naturally would not attract attention.

"Guard General, Wang He!" Wang He puffed up his chest and replied. He was an old minister of the Han and Song regimes, and he served as a guard general very early on, and he was loyal to Han Lin'er. He smelled something wrong in this order, thinking of the previous incident of Zhu Yuanzhang establishing himself as the king of Wu, and the answer was already coming out.

However, after knowing the identity of the other party, Yan Ling never talked to him again, and he didn't even look at him anymore.

What can a guard general change?

"Your Majesty, please get in the car. It's a long way to go, so it's better for us to set off as soon as possible. "I actually ignored the king river directly!

"Your Majesty, no." Wang He knelt down to stop him, but he couldn't make his words clear, so he could only kowtow "bang" in the hope of stopping him.

Han Lin'er was a little troubled for a while, on one side was his old subordinate, and on the other side was an important minister under the command of King Wu, and he didn't know who to listen to.

But he forgot that he had never been the master of this matter, and Yan Ling didn't want to wait any longer, he slowly raised his head and stared straight at Han Lin'er.

Han Lin'er felt the chill in Yan Ling's eyes.

Outside the hall, the soldiers of the Wu army turned around, and the weapons in their hands reflected the sunlight, which was particularly dazzling, but in Han Lin'er's eyes, it was a flash of urgency.

"Let's go, listen to Aiqing!" He barely managed to squeeze out a smile and made a decision immediately.

Wang He was helpless, and since the Lord had agreed, the only thing he could do was to go with him, hoping to protect him from harm.

Unexpectedly, even after passing through some deep forests and wilderness, the Wu army guarded Han Lin'er extremely well, without the slightest danger, which made Wang He a little puzzled.

Could it be that you are really overthinking?

After walking for a few days, I came to Guazhou.

From Chuzhou to Yingtian, it is necessary to pass through the Yangtze River, so it is normal to cross the river from Guazhou, and they have no doubts, even seeing the luxuriously decorated boat, Wang He's tense nerves have a trace of relaxation, Han Lin'er is even more smiling, and after a long journey, he can finally rest peacefully.

What they didn't know was that under this luxurious ship, there was already a group of soldiers waiting for them with pickaxes and axes.

They are all Yan Ling's cronies and the most confidant of the clan soldiers.

This matter can't be spread out, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation will be greatly unpleasant.

Therefore, those who do things must be people who are strict and closely related to the interests of Yan Ling.

When the ship reached the center of the river, they did it!

As the iron tools were fiercely chiseled into the hull, the river continued to pour in through the gaps. And they kept widening the mouth until the river rushed into the cabin! The ship, though huge, also visibly stalled with the naked eye, and then slowly began to sink.

On the ship, Yan Ling received a signal from his own soldiers.

He turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't want to at this time, but Han Lin'er stopped him:

"Aiqing, where is this going?"
