Chapter 202: Impatience can ruin great plans, King Zhou's passion
Inside the account.
After coughing for a long time, Prince Jin still did not recover and hunched over.
I just felt a dizzy feeling, and the blood and energy kept rushing up, and I let out a scream.
A mouthful of blood spat out.
His face turned pale in an instant.
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
Lin Xuanru hurriedly stepped forward, placed his hands behind King Jin's back, and used his true energy to clear King Jin's blocked meridians. This process lasted for nearly an incense stick of time.
Only then did the King of Jin finally recover.
"Are you okay, Your Highness?" Seeing that Prince Jin's expression was gradually calming down, Lin Xuanru stopped.
King Jin shook his head: "I can't die."
Upon hearing this, the generals in the tent breathed a sigh of relief.
Things have come to this point, and they have no way out.
As long as Prince Jin is alive, everything will be easy.
Even if the army is defeated, the worst that can happen is that we can retreat to Lingnan, establish our own country, and live a happy life.
But what if King Jin died.
Then, I’m afraid none of them will survive.
Another quarter of an hour passed before King Jin suppressed his surging blood and let out a long sigh.
Looking at Lin Xuanru: "What do you think about this matter?"
"Your Highness, are you saying that the Empress looted the property from the White Lotus Sect?"
Prince Jin nodded.
He said in a deep voice: "Once this batch of silver is transported back to Chang'an, things will be troublesome."
"Your Highness, do you want to send someone to ambush us halfway?" Lin Xuanru asked with a frown. It was not difficult to guess what Prince Jin was thinking, but he felt that there was no need to take this step.
Someone who would covet this batch of silver.
Obviously, there are quite a few of them, and it wouldn’t make much difference whether they participate or not.
If you can grab it, you can get it without them.
If they can't snatch the silver, even if they get involved, they won't be able to snatch it.
Instead of focusing on that batch of silver.
It would be better to focus on Chongli Prefecture in front of us and break the city as soon as possible.
"I naturally understand what you said."
After Lin Xuanru expressed his idea, King Jin's eyes sank slightly.
He said unwillingly, "But, am I just going to watch helplessly as the silver is transported back by the Empress?"
"Your Highness, a lack of patience can ruin great plans." Lin Xuanru shook his head when he heard this.
He advised respectfully, "Even if the batch of silver is successfully transported back to Chang'an, it will take some time for the Empress to find a job. Besides, the Empress's opponent is not just you, Your Majesty."
Lin Xuanru's words.
This made King Jin fall into deep thought and he remained silent for a long time.
King Jin knew what Lin Xuanru wanted to say and what he wanted to do.
What are we fighting for?
Fighting on the battlefield, strategies and tactics?
These are not the most important things. The most important thing is the white silver.
Since the day he sent troops from Lingnan.
So far, he has spent a full one million taels of silver.
Such a huge consumption.
Even with the secret help of King Zhao, he couldn't hold on for long.
If we can intercept that batch of silver, we will no longer have to worry about weapons and food.
But as Lin Xuanru said.
The Empress's opponent is not just him.
There were many vassal kings in the Dawu Dynasty, not just the Prince of Jin, who wanted to seize the throne from the Empress.
so.
There will definitely be a lot of people taking action.
In this way, even if he really robbed that batch of silver, he would have transported it back to Lingnan.
Of course there are benefits.
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
The empress will be furious and will definitely do her best to deal with him, and others will also bear a grudge against him.
Trigger him secretly.
The situation may not necessarily be easier than it is now, and it may even become more serious.
"That's all."
King Jin was silent for a long time.
He gave up the idea of robbing this batch of silver: "I'll listen to you."
As he spoke, King Jin slowly stood up.
His gaze once again fell on the generals in the tent, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice: "I don't care what methods you use, whether it's killing people or plotting tricks, you must take over Chongli Prefecture for me within ten days."
"Here."
Upon hearing this, all the generals under his command obeyed the order in a solemn voice.
at the same time.
Chengwu Pass.
At this time, Chengwu Pass was under clear skies for many days.
The snow had almost melted away, but the wind was still biting and made people shiver with cold.
But after all, there is a more lively atmosphere.
The streets are bustling with people and the noise is constant.
Zhou Palace, inner courtyard.
King Zhou was wearing a black brocade robe and a cloak of the same color over his shoulders. He stood with his hands behind his back under a plum tree.
Behind him.
A warrior wearing a black tights.
He was kneeling on one knee, reporting to him what happened in Xingqing Prefecture.
"This eldest niece of mine is quite capable."
After listening to this, King Zhou raised his eyebrows and said, "The White Lotus Sect that had troubled the late emperor for many years was actually destroyed by her."
Although the empress was able to destroy the White Lotus Sect by borrowing the power of the man in the north, it must be said that being able to borrow the power of that man is also a kind of skill.
At the very least, King Zhou knew that he didn't have this ability.
He was not familiar with the man from the North and had only met him a few times.
"Confucian Sword Immortal Xu Yuanzhi."
"Ah"
"It's a great name." King Zhou said, and couldn't help but sneer.
Confucianism, Taoism, and swordsmanship are all about heaven and man.
Such unparalleled talent is indeed terrifying.
But not to the point of shocking him too much.
So what about the realm of heaven and man?
It's just one person.
When faced with a massive army, no matter how strong one is individually, one cannot change the general trend.
Just like Liu Daoxuan, the leader of kendo three hundred years ago.
Didn't he have to watch helplessly as his sect was slaughtered by the army?
"Is there any definite news about that batch of silver?"
After thinking about it, King Zhou narrowed his eyes and asked the person behind him without turning his head.
The black-clothed warrior said, "Your Highness, the exact amount is unknown, but there are rumors that someone saw a mountain of silver, at least tens of millions of taels."
"hiss"
King Zhou's pupils shrank.
Shocked, "So many?"
In addition to being shocked, King Zhou couldn't help but feel a little hot inside.
Chengwu Pass is an area in the northwest of the Dawu Dynasty.
It's not desolate though.
But poverty is real.
He did not have the rich family background like the King of Jin, nor did he have the secret help of a wealthy vassal king like the King of Zhao, so he was actually very poor.
Otherwise, he would not have thought of conspiring with the Dali Dynasty.
Together they planned to establish the Great Wu Dynasty.
"If I can seize this batch of silver, why would I need to conspire with Dali?" King Zhou murmured, and a gleam of light suddenly burst out of his eyes.
He immediately said to the person behind him: "Send an order, let Chen Shu come to see me."
Chen Shu was one of the guest officials in the Zhou royal palace.
A warrior at the peak of the Celestial Realm, he is loyal to King Zhou.
"Here."
After the black-clothed warrior received the order.
Not long after, an old man with gray hair and a goatee came over.
He bowed and said, "My Lord, you are looking for me?"
"I want you to take people to Xingqing Prefecture." King Zhou turned around after hearing this.
An hour later.
Chen Shu, along with more than a hundred warriors, quietly left the palace and headed north.
