At this time, the two attendants on the big ship who were in charge of picking up Han Lin'er walked down from the boat, and after coming to Han Lin'er's side, they said respectfully, "Sect Master, please get on the boat." ”

"Got it. ”

When Han Lin'er got on the boat, Chang Yuchun was about to follow him up, but Liao Yongzhong stopped him and said, "General Chang, you can't go up." ”

Chang Yuchun turned his head with a puzzled face, looked at Liao Yongzhong, who was stopping him at this moment, and asked, "Why? I was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, to protect the safety of the sect leader, why didn't you let me go up?"

"Because this is King Wu's order, besides, the sect leader is safe now, and he doesn't need General Chang's protection. ”

Hearing Liao Yongzhong's explanation, Chang Yuchun didn't think much about it, so he lowered his head and simply spit out a few words from his mouth and said, "Oh! ”

After saying that, he turned and returned to the shore. However, what Chang Yuchun never expected was that just when Han Lin'er's boat left the shore far away and sailed to the center of the lake, the boat suddenly sank, and Han Lin'er was also killed.

A few days later, Chang Yuchun returned to Yingtianfu with Liao Yongzhong, but suddenly came the bad news that Han Lin'er was shipwrecked, which couldn't help but make him fall into deep self-blame.

That night, he drank alone in the wing room of Zhu Yuanzhang and Wu Wang's mansion, blaming himself for not following Han Lin'er on the boat because of his sloppiness for a while, so that Han Lin'er lost his life, but at this time, he suddenly heard the conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen, Xu Da and Liao Yongzhong next door to his room.

So he walked out of his room and put his ear to the door to listen carefully, only to hear Zhu Yuanzhang in the room say to the military advisor Liu Bowen: "Liu Junshi, your plan is really wonderful, you actually thought of sending a few dead soldiers to dig a few holes in the boat of Han Lin'er, and then plug the holes, and then open the plug when the boat reaches the middle of the lake and let the boat sink to fake the illusion that the Han sect leader was killed, so that no one will suspect my Zhu Yuanzhang's head." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his face did not show the slightest sense of guilt and guilt, but felt that what he had done was a matter of course, which couldn't help but make Chang Yuchun, who was loyal to Han Lin'er, feel disappointed in his heart.

Liu Bowen stroked the beard on his chin and said with a sneer: "Haha, as long as Han Lin'er dies, King Wu will get rid of a big trouble in his heart, and then he will be able to inherit the position of the head of the White Lotus Sect logically, and he will overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor one day, and then the whole world will be yours." ”

Xu Da also said at this time: "In the White Lotus Sect, it belongs to King Wu, you have the greatest power, and the military power is in your hands, only you are qualified to inherit the position of the sect leader, just ask King Wu to ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, don't forget to give us a reward." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his arms and looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "Hahaha, when I win the world, you will be indispensable for glory and wealth." ”

After finishing speaking, he walked up to Liao Yongzhong and said to him: "Thank you for not letting Chang Yuchun follow Han Lin'er on the boat, otherwise I would have lost a fierce general." ”

Liao Yongzhong said with a smile on his face: "How dare I not listen to King Wu's orders! King Wu cherishes his generals so much, I think even if Chang Yuchun knows the truth, he will be grateful to King Wu." ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is very respected in the army, he loves soldiers like his life, and he takes good care of every outstanding military talent around him.

But in fact, he is an unscrupulous and scheming villain who will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends.

Just after Liao Yongzhong said this, he stood up and said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang: "King Wu, it's not early, I'm going back to my room to rest, and I'm going to say goodbye." ”

And Xu Da and Liu Bowen also stood up and said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang: "His Royal Highness King Wu, rest early, and we will also leave." ”

"Okay, please. ”

After the three of them left, Chang Yuchun came to Zhu Yuanzhang's room alone, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment with disappointed and disdainful eyes, and said: "Why do you want to do this? Sect Master Han trusts you so much, puts the military power of the Red Turban Army in your hands, and also crowns you the King of Wu while you kill him, you are so ungrateful, and you will take revenge, how can you be worthy of the White Lotus Sect, how can you be worthy of the sect masters of the past dynasties." ”

Hearing Chang Yuchun say this, Zhu Yuanzhang already understood it in his heart at this moment, he stretched his face and turned his back to Chang Yuchun and said: "It seems that you have heard everything, since you have heard it, then why are you still coming to me?"

"I've only come to you to ask why you're doing this, because I just want to find a reason, a reason to prove that my lord is not a vile villain, and that my lord is doing this for a hard time. ”

"You're right, I'm in trouble. I suffer from not having the opportunity to lead the White Lotus Sect to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty as soon as possible, save the Han people from dire straits, and deign to Han Lin'er, an incompetent sect leader, unable to display my ambitions and ambitions. ”

"So you teamed up with Liu Bowen to come up with this despicable means to replace Han Lin'er in leading the White Lotus Sect, didn't you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded confidently and replied: "Yes, I know it's wrong to do this, but I'm also for the good of our White Lotus Sect." Do you know why although our White Lotus Sect's righteous army has repeatedly defeated the Yuan army, they have failed to unify the world and expel the Mongol Tartars from the Guanwai, it is because of Han Lin'er's indecision and hesitation that we missed the opportunity to unify the world, do you understand? If I, Zhu Yuanzhang, become the sect leader, I can overthrow the Yuan Dynasty as soon as possible and no longer let our Han people suffer. ”

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chang Yuchun's heart began to waver a little, although he still felt a little disdainful for Zhu Yuanzhang's murder of Han Lin'er, but he still believed that Zhu Yuanzhang really made this decision to save the people in the world, so he chose to remain silent and did not say anything more.

And Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head at this time, put his hands on Chang Yuchun's two shoulders and looked at his eyes seriously, and said to him with a trace of sincerity: "Yuchun, believe me, in the future, we will fight the world together, and the heavy responsibility of saving the Han nation will fall on your shoulders, you must help me achieve my wish to save the Han people, drive out the Tartars, and revitalize my Han rivers and mountains, I will definitely be a good emperor, and I will definitely let all the Han people in the world live a good life." ”

Chang Yuchun nodded slightly, then turned his back to Zhu Yuanzhang, his mood finally calmed down and said, "Okay, I believe in you, but I hope you don't do such unscrupulous things again." ”

"Well, I promise you I won't do the same thing in the future. ”
