Quick Wear: The scumbag is on the prowl, beware

He was terrified and wanted to cover his mouth, but he was tied up tightly and could only let his mouth have its own thoughts.

"Who ordered you?"

"Third Prince."

"What are your specific plans?"

"The Third Prince reached an agreement with the Japanese pirates. They sent assassins to pretend to be ordinary soldiers to rob the village. I was responsible for helping them sneak in.

Then pick a time when other generals are busy to report, General Huo will go to rescue the people personally, and then the assassins will wait for an opportunity to assassinate the general. "

The soldiers already knew that Huo Yu was almost assassinated by a dwarf.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard Kang Hai admit in person that it was related to the Third Prince, and their eyes widened like bells.

However, it's not over yet.

An ill-tempered general could not help but step forward, grab Kang Hai by the collar, and yell:

"The Japanese pirates promised to help him assassinate the general. What did he promise to the Japanese pirates?"

Kang Hai heard himself say in despair: "After the mission is accomplished, I will give the four border cities to the Japanese pirates."

"absurd!"

"Shameless!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals stood up at once, unable to believe what they heard.

They have been guarding the border for years and sacrificing their lives, just to completely eliminate the Japanese pirates one day and let the people on the border who have suffered from war for many years live a peaceful and stable life.

However, the prince of Dasheng, who lived in the luxurious Shengjing City, handed over the border land and people to the enemy just to get rid of the god of war of Dasheng.

How ridiculous?

Qi An thought, something even more ridiculous is yet to come.

Seeing that Kang Hai was about to be beaten to death by several soldiers, Qi An quickly winked at his father, and Huo Yu called on them to sit down.

Everyone's faces turned pale and their chests heaved. Kang Hai's face was bruised and swollen, and he looked like a pig's head.

Qi An said: "My dear uncles, please be patient and think about it. The Third Prince has no grudge against my father, so why would he want to kill my father?"

Most of these generals who have been leading their troops and eating sand for many years have simple minds, but they are definitely not stupid.

After Qi An's reminder, they all thought of another possibility.

Who benefits the most from Huo Yu’s death?

Naturally, it is the one sitting on the dragon throne.

Everyone looked at each other and their faces became even uglier. If it was really the emperor who did it, then he was not worthy of being a king.

In order to get rid of the general and regain the military power, he even ceded the country and handed over his own people to the Japanese pirates to be slaughtered.

Qi An opened his mouth and asked again: "Kang Hai, why did the Third Prince want to kill my father?"

Kang Hai only hated that he was not a mute. He tried hard to control his mouth, but it was of no use.

"Because... because the emperor said that whoever can get rid of the general and take back the military power will be the next crown prince."

When Kang Hai finished speaking, one could hear a pin drop throughout the tent.

The generals felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet, and their chests felt as if a cold wind had blown across them. It was so cold.

Even Huo Yu, who had guessed this result, felt heartbroken.

The pure and passionate young man back then once told him that he wanted to be a good emperor who loved his people like his own children, so that the people would have enough food and clothing and would no longer have to worry about war.

Because of this sentence, he has been willing to guard the country for him for the past 20 years, no matter how hard or tiring it was.

But what did we get in return?

Can power really completely change a person?

The generals' eyes were red, and these eight-foot-tall rough men had tears in their tiger eyes. One of them suddenly knelt on the ground, clasped his fists, and gritted his teeth and said:

"General, that monarch who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country and ignored the people is not worthy of our lives, and the Zhao royal family is not worthy of our loyalty."

"The general seconded the proposal."

"Seconded."

……

All the generals knelt down in unison. Qi An was the last one to step out. She stood with her hands clasped together and said, "I second the motion."

Finally, she said word by word: "Zhao is so stupid, why don't we rebel against him."

Everyone paused, then said in unison: "He rebelled."

Kang Hai was so frightened by this bold statement that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

A few days later, the imperial court received two urgent reports from the border.

One is that General Huo Yu was ambushed by Japanese pirates, poisoned and fell into a coma.

Another story is that the Japanese pirates, knowing that something had happened to the God of War, had begun to gather their troops, preparing to take the opportunity to attack the border.

The emperor was still unsure about Huo Yu's report until Kang Hai's secret letter also appeared on his desk, only then did he confirm that the news was reliable.

As for the second one, he was not worried because it was agreed with the Japanese pirates in advance.

With Kang Hai as a traitor, the Japanese pirates could easily capture the four border cities.

After that, they launched a feint attack, and when the third prince arrived, they pretended to be defeated and retreated.

In this way, the agreement to give away the four cities was completed without making a fuss, and the third prince could be made the crown prince with justification based on this military achievement.

Otherwise, if he openly gave the four border cities to the Japanese pirates, he would probably be drowned in the spit of the people of Dasheng.

The emperor was very happy, but he acted shocked and angry in the court and immediately sent his imperial physician to the border.

He gave out thousand-year-old ginseng and hundred-year-old snow lotus as if they were free, and ordered that his brother must be cured.

Then a minister took the opportunity to point out that the Japanese pirates were eyeing the border covetously and the situation at the border was urgent, so he asked the emperor to send someone to the border to take charge.

Several princes wanted to go, and they argued about it in several court meetings. Finally, the emperor decided to let them go together, but with the third prince as the leader.

The third prince understood that the emperor was paving the way for his future.

As long as he can gain some experience at the border, the position of crown prince will be his when he comes back.

As for why other princes also went, the third prince sneered and said it was just the emperor's method.

My father will not allow one prince to dominate alone.

The emperor sent out 50,000 Yulin Guards and several military generals to protect the princes.

Five days had passed after going through a series of procedures including recruiting soldiers, swearing an oath, preparing food and fodder, and seeing them off at the city gate.

The princes were used to a life of luxury and could not stand the bumps on the march. They had to rest at every turn, which made the generals frown.

There was no military general in the Great Sheng Dynasty who did not worship the God of War.

Several generals thought in despair that the emperor was dreaming if he expected these incompetent princes to replace the God of War and guard the border.

They were worried about the safety of Huo Yu and the people living in the border areas, and they were extremely anxious when they saw the leisurely marching team as if they were on an autumn outing.

He wished he could leave these idiots behind and rush to the border by himself, but he could not disobey the emperor's order.

In this way, we staggered all the way, stopped and started, and finally reached the border. Another half a month had passed.

Before entering the city, Zhao Zhen thought he would see a border town full of devastation and rivers of blood.

After all, the nature of the Japanese pirates is that every time they capture a city, they will massacre the people in it.

I didn't expect that even though he had delayed so much time, and with Kang Hai's assistance, the Japanese pirates had not yet taken the four cities.

The princes looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion.

When the group entered the city, they found that the people were singing and dancing, and slaughtering pigs and sheep. It was even more lively than the New Year's Day.

The smiles on their faces were incredibly bright, as if the haze that had been hanging over their heads for years had finally dissipated.

Everyone was even more confused.

This doesn't look like it was attacked by Japanese pirates at all?

Could it be that they learned that the prince was coming and prepared a welcoming ceremony for them?
