“Isn’t this too aggressive?”

The wise king was unwilling in his heart, but in the current situation, if he continued to let Xiao Ren search him, he would lose his head.

Moving forward means death, and moving backward also means death. Only by finding another way can we find a new path.

However, he overlooked one thing: his people might not agree with him.

The officials who just wanted to drink and wait for death had cold sweat on their foreheads, felt bitter in their hearts, and regretted why they got on this pirate ship.

Rebellion will result in the extermination of all nine generations of your family.

The wise king is narrow-minded and incompetent. If it weren't for his generosity, who would be willing to come here to be scolded?

The virtuous king looked at the silent crowd and pointed at the Minister of Revenue who was standing in the front row. He said, "Weren't you the most eloquent speaker in the past? Tell me, is this feasible?"

The Minister of Revenue cursed inwardly, "What a sin! Why are they targeting him alone?"

"In reply to your Highness, this is wrong. Although the Emperor's actions were a bit extreme, it doesn't mean that everyone will be investigated!"

"For example, the residence of the Minister of War was also searched, but the Emperor didn't find it either, didn't he?"

"In my opinion, we should take care of the situation first, and we need to plan these things slowly."

Seeing this, the others all agreed, fearing that the wise king would drag them into rebellion.

If they delay for a day, they can prepare in advance. However, the wise king narrowed his eyes, as if he could see through the people below.

"Are you planning to stall for time and then turn around and report me? Hahaha... How foolish! Ever since you boarded my ship, your heads are tied to me. If you don't want to die, you can only help me succeed!"

"Even if you lose, you will be buried with me!"

"Humph! Minister of Revenue, do you think it's so easy to get my favors?"

A pair of eyes that looked like they were staring at a dead person were fixed on the Minister of Revenue. He felt dizzy and his hair stood on end.

At this moment he realized that something was wrong. The wise king clearly knew that they were not doing any practical work, but he pretended to be ignorant and whetted their appetites. What was his intention?

"Your Highness, you... have you known for a long time that we are not truly surrendering to you?"

The wise king slumped over, leaning back in his chair. A hint of mockery flashed across his eyes, and he looked at them as if they were ants.

"So what? Just because you're a bunch of good-for-nothings, you think you're qualified to conspire with me on something big?"

The wise king waved his hand, and suddenly a group of assassins holding sharp blades rushed out from all directions.

He looked indifferently at the bewildered and frightened ministers, his lips curved slightly as he said calmly, "Kill them all and send them to my brother, the Emperor. Tell them... someone deliberately escaped with a large amount of money and was caught by me."

The Minister of Revenue stared at the virtuous king in disbelief, struggling against the guards' restraint: "You can't do this! Do you think the emperor will believe you if you do this? He will only suspect you of plotting a rebellion..."

The wise king glanced at him with disgust and waved his bony fingers. The guards ignored the wailing of their ministers and dragged him away like a dead dog.

Those who are attentive will find that those who remain are all loyal to the wise king.

One of the staff members glanced at the whole room calmly, then looked at the virtuous king with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, it's time for us to leave!"

"It's time to leave. After so many years, it's time to close the net!"

The virtuous king had a smile on his face. He had left a big surprise for Xiao Ren.

……

Inside the palace, Xiao Ren was on high alert, waiting for the virtuous king to arrive.

Standing behind him was the unconscious Huo Fang. He was wearing military uniform and holding a sword, and he was clearly in very good health.

"My dear, do you think the virtuous king will force his way out of the palace?"

Huo Fang shook his head: "I don't know! Doesn't the Emperor have two plans? Even if he doesn't force the emperor to abdicate and chooses to leave, he will find a way to stop him."

"Even if he manages to escape, he will suffer heavy losses. Even in Northern Province, there are Marquis Wen'an's men. Why should Your Majesty worry?"

Xiao Ren sighed, thinking of his brother who was far away, and his anxious heart calmed down.

Yes! His sworn brother will take care of the aftermath for him.

A night passed and everything was peaceful in the palace.

Xiao Ren found a comfortable position to sit down, looking helplessly at the energetic Huo Fang, feeling envious.

"As you said, he is not that stupid."

Huo Fang remained silent. How many of you royal family members are stupid?

At the same time, the wise king escaped from Kyoto through a secret passage, and the person who picked him up was none other than the assassin secretly trained by Beizhou.

Seeing that the assassins arrived safely, he felt relieved. He glanced at the direction of the palace from afar, feeling unwilling, but plans could not keep up with plans. No one expected Huo Fang to come back suddenly.

What a pity! If it was two years later, Xiao Ren would have been unable to fight back.

The virtuous king mounted his horse lightly and turned his head to take one last look at Kyoto: "There is still a long way to go, I will definitely come back!"

Then the team of a hundred people ran towards Beizhou. After walking for a quarter of an hour and just passing the corner, the wise king who was riding in the front suddenly tightened the reins and looked gloomily at the man in the distance.

I saw a man about eight feet tall, dressed in purple-red clothes, standing alone in the middle of the road.

The delicate eyes looked at them with a smile, which seemed particularly terrifying in this lonely and desolate place.

The wise king frowned and looked at him warily. He did not know this man.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

Shen Fenghua's smile remained unchanged, and he spread his hands innocently: "The road is so long, I won't stop you if you want to go."

You brat, you are so arrogant!

"Don't play tricks on me! Who are you? Did Xiao Ren send you?"

Seeing no one behind him, the virtuous king laughed in anger: "My royal brother must be looking down on me, to have sent only you. Does he think I'm a weak child?"

"Come here! Chop off his head and throw it back to my brother!"

After the virtuous king finished speaking, the people behind him came forward. Shen Fenghua shook his head mockingly and sighed, "I've seen stupid people before, but this is the first time I've seen someone as stupid as you."

"Wise King, you can already guess that the Emperor sent me here alone, which is foolish. Why don't you think about it? What if my people attack you from behind?"

In an instant, everyone looked around vigilantly and consciously surrounded the wise king in the inner circle.

Shen Fenghua burst into laughter: "How stupid! How dare you rebel with your brain?"

He even doubted whether the information obtained by the people in the Dark Cabinet was reliable.

Beizhou has hidden hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he thought that the person behind it must be a shrewd and cunning person.

Looking at the stupid pig in front of him, he didn't want to believe it.

The person on the other side knew that he had been tricked by Shen Fenghua and was furious: "You arrogant boy, give me your life!"

Being teased again and again, the virtuous king and his companions were naturally displeased and rushed forward to take his head.

Shen Fenghua laughed even more crazily when he saw this. Now is the time!

A whistle sounded, and countless people suddenly rushed in from all directions, and the wise king and others were all surrounded.

Everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked at the virtuous king, only to see that the virtuous king had become so frightened that he was unable to support his body.

The staff who followed him were powerless to close their eyes, deeply disappointed. They had chosen the wrong person and were destined to die today.

At Shen Fenghua's command, all the people in the dark chamber joined the chaos with weapons in hand.

Seeing that the wise king was about to be defeated, Shen Fenghua's eyes flashed slightly, and he deliberately let him avoid the key point.

Suddenly, a sharp force pierced through the air and an arrow shot towards Shen Fenghua's heart.
