The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Rui pointed at Dian Wei and Yang Youji, and said, "I brought you these two, do you think it's okay?"

"All right, a sixth-grade master, a good archer, everyone is one against a hundred, if you can't win Shuisha Village like this, then your subordinates will be pigs." Gan Ning has seen Dian Wei and Yang Youji is very powerful, it is a great honor to be able to dispatch such a master to deal with Shuisha Village, and the other party was killed.

"When will we do it?" Xiao Rui asked.

Gan Ning said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. In the early morning of tomorrow, while the other party is asleep, the subordinates will lead people to take down the Shuisha Village. When His Highness wakes up, you can go directly to the Shuisha Village to enjoy the spoils."

Xiao Rui nodded, naturally he had no objection.

The water village was simple, so Xiao Rui made do with it all night. Before dawn, Gan Ning, Dian Wei, Yang Youji and others set off.

When Xiao Rui slept until the sun was high, Gan Xin had already returned.

"How's the battle going?" Xiao Rui asked.

Gan Xin said with a smile: "Brother Dianwei and Brother Yang Youji were too fierce, they directly killed the three leaders of Shuisha Village, and the others resisted for a while, then they all surrendered and were subdued by us."

"Take me to see!" Xiao Rui followed Gan Xin to Shuisha Village.

Like Jinfan Village, Shuisha Village is hidden deeper, and after detours, they came to a small island. Gan Ning was already waiting at the pier. More than a dozen brothers lost three of them, but after killing the leader of Shuisha Village and more than [-] people, the others all surrendered to us. There are more than [-] ships in Shuisha Village, the most precious of which are two buildings. The boat! They should have robbed the Qijiang camp! Although there are weapons in the village, they are all crudely made, and there are a lot of silver and jewels in the treasury."

Xiao Rui asked: "At first I didn't know the situation on the Qijiang River, so I asked you to be a water thief to accumulate strength first, but now it seems that whether it is Jinfan Village or Shuisha Village, they all rely on the terrain to hide their positions and hide in the mountains and forests." Among them, the pattern of water thieves is too small, do you have any better plans in the future?"

Gan Ning immediately cheered up and said: "Your Highness is right, the water bandits are too small, even if they have more than a thousand people, they will always be water bandits. The first thought is to steal, and the second thought is to hide. If your subordinates Jinfan Village is also going this way. I am afraid that I have become a thief from the beginning, and it will be difficult to change my habits as a soldier in the future. During this time, my subordinates have also realized and thought about what to do next! So according to the subordinate's plan, I will expand my strength in Qijiang County first, and after I gather a team of thousands of people, I will join the Qijiang camp!"

"Oh?" Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, he joined the Qijiang camp, and turned his back on the dark to become a naval army. This idea is quite novel.

Gan Ning continued: "Qijiang Camp receives the recruited water thieves, and our Jinfan Village has just been established and has not plundered any merchant ships, so the possibility of being recruited is very high. At that time, we only need to bribe the generals. I should be able to be a part-time official. Once I enter the interior of the Qijiang camp, I can get in touch with more naval officers and soldiers. Now Chang Shenghou's army is in full swing. When all the east of Qijiang belongs to Daxia, I can win over More connections, after all, in the Qijiang camp, half of the sailors' relatives are from the east of the Qijiang River, and their families will become the people of Daxia, and they will also be willing to help!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "This method is very good! You are hiding in the Qijiang camp, and it will have unexpected effects in the future. I support you and do it boldly!"

"Subordinates understand!" Gan Ning showed joy.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui followed Gan Ning for a walk in Shuisha Village, and then set off to return to Zhao Kingdom's imperial capital.

Chapter 499: Whereabouts Leaked, Qin Army Retreats

In the past few days when Xiao Rui left, there was no major incident in Zhao Guohuang's capital, but there were swords, lights and swords behind the scenes.

First of all, Emperor Zhao arranged to conduct a secret investigation of the harem. All the eunuchs, court ladies, and female officials had to be investigated to avoid spies bought by Xiao Rui.Polu is now working in the Jingshu Palace. He is sweet and sensible, and has won the trust of the imperial concubine Wen Haixia. In addition, when Chuan Jianguo sent him to the palace, he kept an eye on him and forged his identity as an orphan of Zhao Guo. At a young age, you know how to assassinate!

So Polu didn't reveal his stuff.

Because A'Zhu was pretending to be another court lady, this court lady has been in the palace for several years, and her background is clean, so naturally there is no problem.

However, the investigation of the harem raised the vigilance of A'Zhu and Polu, and the two became more cautious. They didn't even dare to ask for help to bring the letter out of the palace. If they were searched by the imperial army, their feet might be exposed.

This is the case in the harem. In other places, such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, procurement personnel from all over the place have conducted investigations, especially the imperial dining room and the alchemy room under the imperial hospital.

The imperial doctor who Chuan Jianguo bought to check the materials noticed the rumors, because he was investigating the alchemist and hadn't found him yet, but he was alert and felt that there was something wrong with the black powder that had been brought into the palace these days, so he secretly kept it. A pack of black powder.

Fortunately, A'Zhu was quick-witted, noticed that a bag was missing, and immediately realized that it was hidden by the imperial physician. She immediately realized that it was very dangerous, and after discussing with Polu, she took the risk to meet the imperial physician.When asked where the gunpowder was hidden, this person not only refused to spit out, but threatened the two of them, asking for 1000 taels, otherwise he would hand over the gunpowder to the searching imperial army!

In desperation, A'Zhu had no choice but to kill the killer, and then put the stone into his clothes and sank into the corpse lake.

But black powder was never found either.

Once this person died, his disappearance for no reason would definitely alert the Imperial Army, so the delivery of gunpowder had to be suspended, so the two of them could only take risks and took out enough silver taels to let the eunuch who left the palace help to bring out a note.

The content is naturally in code language, Zhang Liang and Guo Jia can understand it, and they realize that the search in the palace is not easy.They specifically found Chuan Jianguo. After inquiring by Chuan Jianguo, they learned that Zhao Huang was worried that the subordinates of the deposed prince Zhao Haizhi would be harmful to him for revenge, so they carried out the search.

It seems quite reasonable, but it made Zhang Liang and Guo Jia feel alert!

why?

Not the right time!

It has been ten days since Zhao Haizhi rebelled, and if he wanted to investigate, he should have thoroughly investigated it when Zhao Haizhi was under the law. Why did he wait until now? Could it be that he forgot and only remembered now!

In addition, Zhao Haizhi is dead, how many of his subordinates are loyal and courageous, they will kill the king for the dead, and bear the crime of killing the nine clans!

This reason seems reasonable, but in fact it does not make sense.So Zhao Huang lied again, what he wanted to investigate was the black hand hidden in the palace that might be harmful to him, but it definitely had nothing to do with Zhao Haizhi.

In fact, it is normal for Emperor Zhao to investigate the personnel in the harem. He is worried about the assassins in the harem, so he naturally has to investigate!If you say it directly, it won't make people suspect so deeply.Now this kind of investigation under the guise is considered to be Zhao Huang's cleverness but was misunderstood by his cleverness.

Both Zhang Liang and Guo Jia are thoughtful people, and they can detect the danger behind them from the slightest wind.

They immediately stopped the delivery of black powder, and at the same time unnaturally thought, could it be that His Highness's identity has been leaked?

The cautious Zhang Liang immediately contacted Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan through Mao Falcon, and asked him about his recent situation, especially if there were any mistakes in the false highness.

In Tian Boyuan's reply letter, he introduced that everything was normal, and that the false Highness was very well disguised. The enemies of Zhao State would often see His Highness active. I believe that Emperor Zhao would firmly believe that Xiao Rui was in the army.

At the end of the last letter, Tian Boyuan mentioned Duan Wang Xiaofeng, the last time he wanted to visit the prince, he severely rejected him.

But it was the sentence at the end that verified Zhang Liang and Guo Jia's suspicions!

How long has the fake prince supervised the army in the army?It's been more than a month!Why did Xiao Feng come to see the prince not long ago.It can't be because I was busy before and didn't have time.And is Xiao Feng coming to visit the prince?

Although the two are brothers, they are also enemies!

So Xiao Feng must have seen something wrong, so he wrote a letter to test it out.

"Prince Duan is really powerful. It seems that he has already guessed that His Highness is a fake in the army! Once he guesses, it seems that this time Emperor Zhao is investigating the palace, and he also knows the news that His Highness is in Zhao's imperial capital!" Zhang Liang Said.

Guo Jiadao: "Actually, we were negligent. The false Highness is walking with the army. Although it can deceive people's eyes and ears, we all forgot that His Highness's purpose of supervising the army is revenge! If you go with the army, you will stop at Qijiang, and you will never be able to destroy Emperor Zhao. "

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Prince Duan is related to Zhao's Nine Yin Forbidden Army. Naturally, there is a way to contact Zhao Huang. It seems that the news that His Highness is in the imperial capital has been known to him. His investigation of the harem is only the first step, and he will definitely Please enter the urn and lead us to show up!"

Guo Jia said: "If you want to attract us to show up, you must bring out something we are interested in. Emperor Zhao will definitely not put himself in danger, so other things that can arouse our interest..."

The two looked at each other and immediately smiled.

After Xiao Rui came back, he wanted to take action against Liang Zhenggang, and arrested him to ask what happened back then, but Zhang Liang and Guo Jia refused.

As for the reason, to Xiao Rui's surprise, the news about him in the imperial capital was leaked?

After the narration of the two, Xiao Rui finally understood the reason for the leak, which also made him sigh uncontrollably.If they were kept in the dark and attacked Liang Zhenggang, they would definitely fall into Zhao Huang's trap, and when the time came to catch...someone, Xiao Rui boasted that he had counselors and fierce generals, and he would not be able to escape.

"How much gunpowder has been sent to the palace now?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhang Liang replied: "150 catties, the amount given each time is not much."

"Should be able to blow up Emperor Zhao at close range." Xiao Rui muttered softly.

Guo Jia replied: "It is possible to kill Zhao Huang, but it must be taken by surprise. The burning of the gunpowder fuse will alert the opponent, and it must be close-range damage. In addition, we still don't know when Zhao Huang will kill him." Go to Jingshu Palace, according to my guess, Ah Zhu has hidden the gunpowder in a hidden place in Jingshu Palace, and he dare not take it out yet."

"Yes! Although the gunpowder was sent in, it is not safe after all." Zhang Liang replied.
