Chapter 272 - You Think Too Much
On the second night, Huo Zhengquan personally went to that tavern and found the secret passage in the rear courtyard. He walked along the secret passage alone, and the map of the entire capital appeared in his mind.
He had grown up here and was very familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital. He closed his eyes and walked forward, but there was a very clear route in his mind that allowed him to determine where this secret passageway led to.
Walking to the end of the secret passage, Huo Zhengquan did not casually open the door in front of him, but instead stood in place for a long time.
He knew where he was. Through the thin wall, he could still hear the familiar voice. A feeling of powerlessness shrouded his head.
It had not been a year or two since the emperor had placed more military power in his hands. Besides doing his duty well, he was still on guard against the emperor. Unexpectedly, he still made a mistake.
His own son, on the other hand, became an accomplice of the enemy. It would be hard for Huo Zhengquan to remain calm.
After standing for a while, he turned around and left. When he returned to the manor, he immediately ordered his men to surround the Second Young Master's courtyard to prevent him from leaving.
Actually, he knew that the correct thing to do was to pretend that he didn't know anything. An open spy was better than someone hiding in the dark, but he didn't want to tolerate it.
If even his own son couldn't be taught well, how could he protect his family and country?
The next morning, the emperor ordered Huo Zhengquan to go south to exterminate the bandits. He ordered him to be the Grand Marshal to exterminate the bandits, his eldest son, Huo Yiming, was to be the general in charge, and his army to be changed to an attendant instead of Huo Yidao.
It seemed that the emperor had already received the news of Huo Yidao being placed under house arrest.
A superior would always be able to control their emotions very well. Even if they had already drawn their blades, they could still pretend that nothing had happened.
It was naturally impossible for Huo Zhengquan to disobey the orders of the Emperor, but the members of the First Prince's bloodline all disagreed.
Huo Zhengquan was already the Overlord of the Northwest; if he was allowed to travel to the southeast again, wouldn't that mean that even the southeast would be his?
Why did the emperor suddenly issue such an order? Wouldn't this mean that Huo Zhengquan was being condoned?
“Your majesty, the Marshal Huo is indeed an unparalleled talent of my Big Dipper, but he only knows how to fight on land. His Pirate is cunning, and he lives off the sea, is it really appropriate for the Marshal Huo to fight on the sea?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. This is a matter that concerns the lives of the entire coastal area. You must be cautious. This subject believes that General Lu Yi should lead the troops.”
This time, the emperor did not go along with their plan, “General Lu Yi has fought for so many years and still hasn't been able to exterminate the Pirate.
So what if he had experience? Everyone will have their first time, and with Huo Aiqing's reputation, she might even surrender without fighting those Pirate. “
The emperor's words were unreasonable, it was as though he was supporting Huo Zhengquan to the heavens. He looked as though he wanted to put to death a few days ago, how did he change?
Those who didn't understand the situation lowered their heads, refusing to engage in a war of words.
When Teng Yu went back, he informed Yin Xu of the news, that this person was lazy, and would go to the morning assembly only to catch a fish in the net, and now that Huo Zhengquan was going to battle, it was better for him to go to the imperial assembly every day, so that he would not be able to find out in time if anything happened to him.
“Pirate?” Yin Xu's spirits were lifted, “The last time when Zuo Shaotang and the rest went out to sea, they seemed to have met with Pirate. Luckily they only dispatched three ships, and only a hundred people were thrown into the ocean by Zuo Shaotang to be fed to the fishes.
“The threat of Pirate has always been there. Every year, many of the people and merchants at sea would suffer. The imperial government sent its troops to encircle and annihilate them a few times, but it did not achieve much.
“Why did the emperor suddenly make the decision to let Huo Zhengquan lead the troops? This doesn't seem like his style. “
Teng Yu let him kiss her once before he spoke, but Yin Xu only gave him a kick, so Teng Yu still agreed obediently, “I have already discussed this with Father-in-law. The Emperor has probably thought of a new move, he probably wants to use his Pirate to prevent Father-in-law from coming back, something like that.”
“However, I think that it should not only be this. Otherwise, I would be underestimating Father-in-law too much.”
“Can you stop calling me father-in-law?” Yin Xu thought that this man was only so intimate in front of Huo Zhengquan, why was it that he could not change his bad habit in front of him? Huo Zhengquan was not here, who should he tell?
Teng Yu laughed awkwardly: “I'm used to it, I can't change it for now.”
“Go on, what other tricks does the Emperor have? The most likely outcome would be if he and the Pirate were to join hands and trap Huo Zhengquan. As for whether or not they can trap Huo Zhengquan, it will depend on their abilities. “
“You're right!” Teng Yu praised Yin Xu a lot, “But why are you so confident in Huo Zhengquan?”
Yin Xu rolled his eyes at him, “I'm not confident in him, but in myself.”
Teng Yu did not understand why it was related to him. He suddenly stared and asked: “Are you going with him?”
Without waiting for Yin Xu to reply, he immediately threw himself onto the ground and tightly held onto his four limbs, “No, you are not allowed to go! How are you going to leave me alone at home? Do you really have the heart to watch me sleep soundly every night? Do you have the heart to watch me struggle in this vortex alone? Speak! Is Huo Zhengquan more important or am I? “
His bellowing caused Yin Xu to become foolish, and only after a long while did he push him away with his ears red, “What nonsense are you spouting? When did I say that I wanted to go with him? “
“Isn't that what you mean?” Teng Yu put on a “don't think you can fool me” expression.
“I was planning to have Zuo Shaotang and Xiao Feng follow me along the way. They have moved along the coast before, and also went out to sea. They also have a relatively detailed chart in their hands, so they won't lose out.”
Recently, Teng Yu did not pay much attention to the news about the villain. He asked with a straight face, “You really don't plan to go?”
Yin Xu answered righteously, “No, why should I go with him?” Just as Teng Yu's expression slightly relaxed, Yin Xu added on: “I'm just going down the road with him. I want to make a trip south.”
Teng Yu's eyes became sharp again, “Where are you going?”
“You forgot, it's time for this young master to fight for the Martial Union Master!” Yin Xu had forgotten about it in the beginning, but when Zuo Shaotang sent him a letter yesterday, he remembered that there was such a thing.
Teng Yu felt that things were not so simple, he stared straight at Yin Xu without uttering a word, as if he was telling the truth and his Highness was not going to let him go.
“Alright, I said, I was thinking like this, isn't the Martial Union Master's election supposed to be on a poor mountain?”
Teng Yu nodded, “And then?”
“Wouldn't all the great sects and sects be there when the time comes? The experts are all gathered together!
Teng Yu continued to nod. “And then?”
“Isn't that poor mountain located in Changshui County, along the coast?” Don't you think this is a good opportunity? ” After Yin Xu finished speaking, he looked at Teng Yu smugly, as if he was saying “I'm very smart”.
How smart is Teng Yu, naturally it was at first heard of his intention, “Are you saying that you want to bring those martial artists to kill the bandits?”
He really wanted to pry open the boy's head and see what was inside.
“Well? Can't I? “
“How can you persuade them to help? This group of people boasts that they are fearless and would not obey the rules of the officials, making them help exterminate the bandits is difficult! “
“When I become the Martial Union Master, even if they don't want to go, they will have to!”
“You aren't thinking of starting another war between the evil and positive forces, are you? If Young Master Lin Wu Dang joins, your Myriad Demons Sect will not be able to win. ” Teng Yu did not intentionally break Yin Xu's confidence, but it was because he was afraid that Yin Xu might not understand the poverty-stricken nature of these martial artists and think things through.
Yin Xu would never think too complicated things, he would try his best to do it the moment he set a goal, whether or not it works was another matter. Of course, in his opinion, if it doesn't work, the conditions can also be created.
They were all people. There was always a weakness. There was always a way to judge.
“How would we know without trying? Maybe they are all so understanding that they won't even need me to tell them to take the initiative to attack. ” Who told them to choose a place that was worse than a coastal place?
Isn't this the helper who delivered himself to my doorstep?
Teng Yu rubbed his chin, and got up from Yin Xu's body, “This matter … You can scheme properly! ” Just relying on Yin Xu's fist was obviously not perfect, how could a scammer use such a crude method to help?
To the Third Prince, servants were a type of art. When it was time to be tough, it was sometimes to be tough, and sometimes to be soft.
Yin Xu did not plan to tell Teng Yu about this matter in the first place. He was prepared to discuss it with Huo Zhengquan after he went down to the south, because once he said it, there was no chance that Teng Yu would follow him as well.
“You're not going with me, are you?” Yin Xu had already planned things out in his heart, if Teng Yu replied him, he would just pour him the medicine and let him sleep for three days and three nights, just waiting to see how he would go.
Teng Yu raised his eyebrows, and said sinisterly: “How could I, your Highness, be so free?”
“…” Yin Xu's mouth moved, he snorted, stood up and patted his clothes: That's good!
So it was just his imagination!
