Dajin royal family

Chapter 289
Just as the emperor guessed, Chen Leng did bring him news about Jiangnan, but it was not the kind he wanted.

"You mean, the thief was not caught?"

The two palms clenched the robe tightly, and the emperor's eyes almost burst into flames.

Chen Ling also knew that the emperor was furious now, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I have been waiting for more than ten days for my humble post, but found that the thief capitals from both sides did not show up, so I had to take down those Core member."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, the underlying meaning was: If I don't do it again, I won't even be able to catch a kitten or a small fish.

But the emperor didn't give him a good face, he handed over to Chen Ling's most elite inner guards to support his series of actions in the south, and finally gave him such a result?
"You have let me down so much." The emperor said indifferently, and his disappointment could hardly be concealed in his eyes.

Now the emperor looked at Chen Ling, as if he was looking at a pile of shit that people hate.

Chen Leng looked ashamed, and explained: "Your Majesty, although the humble official did not catch the leader of the bandits, he did catch their important members. Maybe we can get news from him."

"Chen Ling, do you think I'm a fool? Wouldn't the bandits not know that you arrested their people, and would they still wait for you to catch them?"

The emperor stood up slowly, his face extremely ugly, and he walked back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back.

Jiangnan is the place he values ​​most. Any place can be chaotic, but Jiangnan cannot, because he doesn't want the world to be divided into north and south again.

Chen Ling was also a little bit wronged, this time he really tried his best, but those people in Jiangnan are cunning, so what can he do.

"Now that they have already started to scare the snake, they will definitely make the next move." The emperor murmured.

Immediately, the emperor told Chen Leng: "You and Shen Guang go to the south of the Yangtze River together, and you must annihilate this hidden force for me. I will not allow them to appear on the land of Jin."

"Your Majesty, with just the two of us, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower." Chen Ling hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously.

Jiangnan is so big, and they have only a few internal guards. If they really find out, it may not be easy to take action directly.

The emperor stopped, thought for a while, and immediately said: "I will let the copper face cooperate with you."

Hearing this, Chen Leng's heart trembled, he quickly nodded in agreement, and then the emperor waved his hand to send him away.

When the imperial study room became quiet again, the emperor sat on the dragon couch, staring at the memorial on the table in a daze.

Jiangnan was indeed in danger, but he still didn't dare to act rashly, because he was waiting, waiting for those people to show up.

If they don't solve them for a day, the emperor knows that he won't sleep well for a day.

"Is King Langya back?" The emperor was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked Chen Leng.

But he found that there was no one in front of him. At this time, Ah Weng reminded him: "Your Majesty, the king of Langya County has not returned yet. General Chen said that the king of the county is still patrolling the south of the Yangtze River."

"Send the censor to come back as soon as possible," said the emperor.

Although he was a little apprehensive towards Jiang Chengxiao in his heart, he needed a steady leader at this time.

If things happen again in Jiangnan, then Jiang Chengxiao will be on his list of generals.

Qingzhou's rebellion was within everyone's expectations, but also beyond everyone's imagination. In just half a month, Qingzhou's Donglai County, Lu County, Gaomi County, and Beihai County fell almost at the same time.

Completely and completely fell, the officials who surrendered were imprisoned by the leader of the rebel army, and they were killed on the spot.

Only Langya County and Qi County are still resisting.

It can't be called resistance, but the rebel army didn't point their troops at Qi County or Langya County.

Beihai County, Yidu.

Li Fazhu raised an army in Linzi, gathered more than [-] people under his command, and occupied Beihai County. Currently, he is heavily guarded in Yidu.

Today, in the lobby of Yidu, the leaders of the four-way uprising army gathered.

The atmosphere in the hall was very dignified, and it was completely different from the gesture of pushing cups and changing cups and celebrating the winners as imagined.

The root cause is that the power displayed by Li Fazhu stifled the other three chiefs.

According to the original arrangements of Qu Rang, Shan Ding and others, Li Fazhu should be a puppet, providing food, grass, soldiers and armor, the nominal leader.

However, after Li Fazhu raised his troops in Linzi, the strength he showed exceeded all of their imaginations.

Among their four major forces, Li Fazhu was the first to occupy a county.

So the question before them now is whether or not to elect Li Fazhu as the leader.

It is precisely because of this that the hall is so quiet.

Li Fazhu, who was kneeling on the seat of honor, was secretly pleased when he saw this occasion. These reckless people really thought that Li Fazhu was being taken advantage of.

"Everyone, the uprising succeeded for us, done!"

Li Fazhu picked up the wine cup and raised it high, his eyes fell on the leaders of the rebel army on both sides.

The number one threat in his mind was Qu Rang from Gaomi County, who came from a prominent family in Gaomi County, and his soldiers were all confidant domestic slaves, with deep financial resources and high prestige.

Apart from Qu Rang, the second thing he cares about is the Shan Ding brothers in Juxian Village. Although these two are not from a famous family, they are also big families, and they also have a deep prestige in the green forest.

The last red act was the person he valued the most.

This person's power is the weakest among them, perhaps he can win over this person and fight against the other two.

Although he knows that the big thing is not yet accomplished and he can't fight among himself, he doesn't want to be picked peaches by others in the end.

After Li Fazhu's voice fell, Chi Ju and the others naturally cooperated and raised the wine cup in their hands to drink a glass.

The scene is done enough, and then it's time to talk about the real business.

Who will be the leader of this rebel army!
Li Fazhu's general Hu Yu said with a big grin, "Brothers, we are gathering here today, and we have to elect a big brother who can speak and lead us to do a great cause. Do you think it's right?"

"Correct!"

The people behind Li Fazhu agreed one after another, while the other three major forces remained silent.

The embarrassment of the scene made Li Fazhu slightly annoyed. These reckless people really are not trustworthy people.

It was clearly agreed to let him be the leader of the rebel army.

Looking at this scene, Chi Ju smiled slightly, and said, "Brothers, we can't relax our vigilance yet, we really should elect a big brother to lead us to do something."

Qu Rang said: "I don't know which one Chi Brother recommends?"

Hearing this, Chi Ju asked in a very puzzled tone: "Brother Qu Rang, didn't you say that this leader is from?"

"Ahem." Before he could finish speaking, Shan Ding interrupted with two coughs.

Li Fazhu was a little annoyed, just now Chiju was about to nominate him, but was interrupted by Shan Ding.

Sure enough, it was Qu Rang and the Shan brothers who sowed discord.

Shan Dingdao: "Electing a leader is of great importance, we may not be able to convince the public if we make a choice here."

"That's right, we have more than [-] brothers in total, and it's a bit biased to make a decision based on just a few of us." Shan Xin echoed.

Li Fazhu said coldly: "Brother Shan means that we need to ask the opinions of more than [-] brothers."

Qu Rang interjected: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. Brothers only obey the strong. The four of us might as well make an agreement. Whoever can take down Licheng first will be the leader of the rebel army. What do you think?"

Shan Ding agreed: "Okay, that's the reason."

Fazhu Li knew that now that Shan Ding and Qu Rang were determined not to agree to be the leader, he definitely couldn't do it.

"Okay, I agree too." Li Fazhu suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Then I also agree." Chi Ju said with a smile.

After the bet was made, everyone returned to their respective military camps outside the city.

Originally they wanted to stay in the city, but Li Fazhu disagreed desperately, and even said something like 'disturbing the soldiers and disturbing the people', which made the others very upset.

On the street, Cheng Zhijie stood in front of Chiju with his head bowed.

"Brother Cheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Chi Ju said through gritted teeth.

This Cheng Hanhuo, who rescued him from the master at that time, turned around and joined the Shan brothers, what an ungrateful guy.

Cheng Zhijie also knew that he was ignorant, so he simply lowered his head and still ridiculed by Chiju.

But it was not as expected, Chi Ju just gritted his teeth and said something, then sighed, and patted Cheng Zhijie's shoulder.

"Brother, protect yourself well, you and I can't help ourselves now."

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie raised his head with a slightly complicated expression.This big red brother really has nothing to say about his brothers.

"Brother Chi, don't worry, you will always be my brother." Cheng Zhijie said solemnly.

Chi Ju smiled, patted his shoulder, and was about to say something when the Shan brothers came over.
