"I didn't think about His Highness the Seventh Prince at all!"
"Later, His Highness the Seventh Highness revealed his identity. After I carefully identified him, I realized that it was indeed His Highness the Seventh!"
Shen Zizhen couldn't believe it and asked, "His Seventh Highness has been bedridden all year round. The Seventh Highness we see always looks half-dead. How is it possible that he can come and go freely in Kyoto where rebels are everywhere?"
Lin Hui slapped his thigh and said, "I thought the same way at the time. Later I thought that if it were a time of peace, there might be some young people pretending to be His Majesty the Seventh Highness, cheating, and seeking benefits."
"Right now, Huo Dou is hunting down members of the royal family. Who would pretend to be the Seventh Highness?"
"Besides, His Highness Seventh Prince, who looks domineering and majestic, doesn't look like a young person."
"The fact that His Majesty Seventh Prince can stand in front of me without alerting the secret guards in my house can only be said that His Majesty Seventh Prince usually hides his abilities and bides his time, in order to one day become famous!"
Shen Zizhen nodded and said, "It can only be like this, otherwise, how can we explain the sudden strength of His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"
At this time, Shen Fu came in with a bowl of rice porridge and a plate of green vegetables. Mrs. Shen took them with her own hands and brought them to Shen Ziming.
"Now that you know you're hungry, just eat something quickly."
Shen Zizhen took the bowl of porridge and said to Lin Hui, "To tell you the truth, I haven't eaten or eaten for many days. Today, when I saw General Lin and heard the news about His Highness Seventh Prince, my heart suddenly became enlightened and I felt a little hungry. Make General Lin laugh!"
"Hahaha!" Lin Hui laughed, "To be honest with Shibo, my situation back then, Lin Hui, was not much better than Shibo's current situation. It was only after I met His Highness Seventh Prince that I came back to life!"
Shen Zizhen drank the porridge slowly and asked eagerly, "Tell me how Jiang Gan died, and let me relieve myself!"
Lin Hui stopped laughing and said, "I heard Qin Ze say that Jiang Gan brought three thousand soldiers and horses to intercept His Majesty the Seventh Prince on their only way, so I asked the emperor to give me an army in the name of reinforcing Jiang Gan. Rushed over."
"Originally, I planned to stop Jiang Gan when the Seventh Highness and the others arrived. With the Seventh Highness I saw that day, it shouldn't be a problem to break out of the siege of the rebel pawns!"
"I'm afraid I'll be late, and His Majesty Seventh Prince and the others will be caught by Jiang Gan. They don't dare to stop along the way, so they hurry up."
"When I arrived, I was still a step too late. I only saw corpses all over the ground, but I didn't see the Seventh Prince and the others!"
"Jiang Gan's head was also found by the Forbidden Army soldiers I brought with me. I brought it back to Huo Dou for entrustment. It is now hanging outside the gate of the palace."
Shen Zizhen stopped the bowl of porridge in his hand and stared at Lin Hui, "Look carefully. Are there any of us among the dead?"
Lin Hui shook his head, "I ordered the soldiers of the Forbidden Army to search carefully, and I will give a heavy reward as a reward. Whoever finds the Seventh Highness and several princes and concubines, regardless of life or death, will be given a bounty no matter how much it is. I, Lin Hui, will add another ten thousand taels." silver."
"Those soldiers, for the sake of money, carefully inspected every corpse, and couldn't find even a hair of ours!"
At this time, Shen Fu came in with tea, and Mrs. Lin brought a cup, handed it to Lin Hui, and said, "General Lin, take a sip of tea quickly to moisten your throat!"
Lin Hui took the tea cup and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Shen Zizhen turned his head and ordered Shen Fu, "Go and bring me another bowl of rice porridge,... no, two bowls of rice porridge!"
"Yes!" Shen Fu responded quickly and ran out.
Lin Hui said while drinking tea, "On the way, I thought that the three thousand rebel soldiers who died on the edge of Zhanjiang Pier and Hu Yandan, the general of Huodu, were probably the work of our Seventh Highness and the others!"
"The Seventh Prince took action and killed two of Huo Dou's generals. It was unstoppable!" Shen Zizhuo handed the porridge bowl in his hand to Mrs. Shen's hand and sighed with emotion.
Shen Zizhen drank a bowl of porridge and felt obviously better. He pulled on his shoes and stood up.
"His Majesty Seventh is so brave. Now, all that is missing is soldiers and horses. If we can unite the soldiers and horses guarding various places in Da Chu and deal with Huo Du together, we will not worry about killing Huo Du!"
Lin Hui also stood up, nodded repeatedly, and said, "I think so too. I have written letters to those of our own who hold military power and whom we know well, asking them to temporarily obey Huo Dou's orders, as long as it is not If Huo Du seizes the military power, don't resist needlessly, conserve your strength, and wait for His Majesty the Seventh Prince to come back!"
Shen Zizhen praised, "That's good. We are all ministers of Da Chu, how can we bow down to Huo Dou? Today's last resort is the motivation for us to go to Huo Dou tomorrow!"
"I, Shen Zizhen, will go to court tomorrow. I want to see how long Huo can reach!"
………………
Daybreak.
Huo Dou sat in the court hall holding Thirteen in his arms. He glanced down and saw Shen Zizhao.
"Hahaha!" Huo Dou laughed.
It is said that Shen Zizhen was so strong that he would rather die than serve as an official in his court in Huodu.
He thought how long Shen Zizhen could carry it.
He was still waiting patiently, but Shen Zizhen couldn't bear it anymore.
"Master Shen, have you recovered from your illness?" Huo Du asked angrily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing sympathy to me. I can now eat something!"
"Well!" Huo Dou was very satisfied with Shen Zizhen calling himself an old minister and said, "That's good. Lord Shen is the Crown Prince and Tutor. When my son arrives in Kyoto, I hope that Lord Shen will concentrate on teaching him."
Shen Zizhen felt sick. Why should he teach the son of a rebel leader who was causing harm to the country and the people?
Thinking of Lin Hui's words last night, he resisted the urge to curse and said, "Yes! I will obey the emperor's will!"
Huo Du didn't see the imperial seal. These days, he didn't dare to talk about the decree. Shen Zizhen said the decree, which made Huo Du feel guilty.
Huo Dou waved his hand, motioning Shen Zizhao to step back, and asked, "You have anything else to report, report it quickly, I'm busy!"
Lin Hui quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday I led three thousand Forbidden Army soldiers to reinforce General Jiang Qian. Who knows, we hurriedly and slowly arrived, but we were still a step too late."
After saying that, he put the package in his hand on the ground and continued, "When we arrived, we saw corpses all over the ground, and General Jiang Gan had been beheaded."
Lin Hui opened the baggage on the ground, and Jiang Gan's head came out.
Thirteen trembled with fright and fell off Huo Dou's knees.
Huo Du stood up suddenly, walked down the steps, and stood in front of Jiang Gan's head.
This murder was indeed done by Jiang.
Qin Ze, who was standing aside, also arrived.
When he collected Hu Yandan's body, he had already seen the bloody scene. If this was done by a group of people, Lin Hui would know what kind of scene he saw without Lin Hui's detailed introduction.
