Duan Wang was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head, so he had to bow down and ask for advice:

"What the teacher said is that the disciple didn't know how to cherish it, but now that the disaster has happened, I would like to ask the teacher to point out a way for me. The disciple has been in business for many years, and I can't...can't be ruined like this! There must be some way to recover ..."

The screen was so angry that he threw away all the chess pieces:

"You still want to save it? Let me tell you! If you think about it now, you might as well pray, pray that there will be no evidence that you are implicated in the bandit village that Ren Heng handed over, otherwise you will grow old." Nine heads are not enough to cut off that brat emperor!"

"If I were you, I would quickly burn all the evidence in the house, at least the head around my neck can be saved, otherwise..."

Duan Wang didn't expect that the "teacher" he had placed high hopes on would be so pessimistic and desperate, and couldn't help retorting:

"But... At the beginning, you said that you would definitely help me win Daqing, but now you tell me to burn everything and give up everything, isn't it a breach of trust..."

These words completely angered the person behind the screen. He overturned the chessboard and was about to speak when he heard a loud noise from outside the door. Lin Yao kicked open the door of the room and charged straight over with a sword Splitting the screen.

At this moment, a mysterious man whose face could not be clearly seen jumped out from the corner of the room, grabbed the person in front of the table, and quickly disappeared into the dark passage of the room. The moment Lin Yao split the screen, the person on the screen had long since disappeared gone.

King Duan was startled and angry, and asked loudly:

"Lin Yao, what are you doing?!"

Lin Yao held his sword down and looked back at King Duan.

For a moment, Duan Wang even felt that he would point the sword at him in the next moment, and take his life without hesitation, and subconsciously took half a step back.

Fortunately, at the next moment, Lin Yao put his sword back into its sheath, and responded without changing his expression:

"My lord has ordered you to rush in immediately if there is any movement in the room."

King Duan choked, remembering his instructions before entering the door, he was speechless for a moment, his breath stuck in his throat, he couldn't go up or down, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing that Lin Yao was still looking at him, as if he was waiting for the next order, King Duan felt even more uncomfortable, so he simply turned his back, stopped looking at this inflexible hard wood, and ordered:

"Why are you still sticking around here, people are scared away by you, why don't you hurry back to your house?"

Lin Yao lowered his head in response, followed Duan Wang out of the Rongxue Pavilion, and the carriage drove back in the direction it came from, but Lin Yao felt even more suspicious.

He rushed in on the pretext of hearing the noise, but in fact he wanted to see the true face of the person behind the screen, but unfortunately the person was clearly prepared, so he missed it.

But Duan Wang's ugly face at the end at least proved that this person did not give any useful suggestions in the end, but...

As the only blood relative of the late emperor, King Duan was taught even to rebel, and even the other party didn't seem like a single person, owning a real estate in Huai'an City dedicated to selling information, it was more like a huge organization supporting their operation, This is really appalling.

He made up his mind, knowing that this matter is of great importance, it's a pity that he couldn't tell Xie Yang and the others immediately, otherwise if he went to Rongxue Pavilion right now, he might be able to catch the other party's tail.

When King Duan returned to the palace, he learned that all his camps had been defeated, and that Ren Heng would soon be approaching the city, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot for a while.

He still had a glimmer of hope, that is, even if Ren Hengqing wiped out the bandit soldiers he had accumulated, there might not be evidence that they were raising private soldiers by himself, so although the loss was huge, it was not impossible to get away with it.

When Ren Heng left Huai'an City and returned to Beijing to return to his command, he was still sure of regaining his vitality.

But I'm afraid, the stockade didn't clean up quickly. Once Ren Heng caught the flaw, it would not be a matter of losing thousands of soldiers. It's just like directly plotting treason, and it's only a matter of piercing a layer of window paper.

Ying Ze is now young and full of vigor, and he has just tasted the taste of power in his hands. Once he is really caught by the tail, he will never be given a chance to stand up. At the least, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment.

But if Ren Heng didn't find out anything, but he was timid and ran away first, it wouldn't be the same as admitting that he had a rebellious heart. He didn't have to rebel, so he could only raise the flag to rebel. Even if he succeeded, he would be talked about in later generations , I'm afraid it will be ridiculed by bad people.

To escape, or not to escape.

Reverse, or not.

Duan Wang was entangled and vacillating, and the staff in the room were all arguing about what to do next. Hearing this, Duan Wang's head was about to explode. He swept the teacup on the ground and shouted sharply:

"Shut up, my lord!"

In an instant, the whole hall was silent, and Wang Duan pointed directly at Lin Yao, who had been silent all this time, and said coldly:

"Lin Yao, what do you think, this king should welcome Ren Heng into the city, bet that he doesn't have enough evidence, and wait for him to recuperate after returning to Beijing, or just declare to the world that His Majesty is not right now, and he is the first emperor?"

Lin Yao replied blankly:

"The guards of Huai'an City may lose to Ren Heng's soldiers, but as long as Lin Yao is alive, no matter which way the prince chooses, Lin Yao will definitely follow him to the death."

When these words touched King Duan's heart, he immediately said with relief:

"It's been more than ten years, and this is one of the few good things I've heard from you. I didn't expect it to be at this time, but before you risk your life for me, I don't believe it. Now, the king has already sent people to check all the camps, can he, Ren Heng, really find evidence to prove that I keep private soldiers?"

In the end, King Duan, who had been cautious all his life, still didn't have the guts to directly raise the flag to rebel, but with a little luck in his heart, he planned to welcome Ren Heng into the city.

Many aides raised objections, but they failed to meet King Duan's wishes.

Two hours later, the mighty fleet arrived at Huai'an Wharf. King Duan personally welcomed Ren Heng into the city, and specially arranged a banquet to celebrate Ren Heng's achievements.

Unexpectedly, Ren Heng, who had always been very good-tempered before, refused. Instead, he took out the rope and said with a smile:

"There is no need for banquets. The march is urgent. Ren Heng is bold enough to ask His Royal Highness Duan Wang to accompany us back to Beijing."

Duan Wang's face changed at that time, but he still insisted:

"What did General Ren say, and His Majesty has not issued an edict, why do you suddenly want me to return to Beijing?"

Ren Heng smiled:

"His Royal Highness Duan doesn't need to act anymore, you and I both know that since His Royal Highness has the guts to support a private army and intends to rebel, he should have expected this day."

Duan Wang's face turned ashen immediately:

"What evidence do you have to prove that the king is raising private troops and is accused of treason? How dare you arbitrarily put it on the king! You are slandering the royal family and loyal ministers! Aren't you afraid that your majesty will blame you? "
