Chu State Palace!

Since the King of Chu received the news that Wu Qingshan had seized Wu Daozi, he has been unable to sleep at night in the past two days.

Wu Daozi now holds a key position in the Han Dynasty. At this time, detaining him is equivalent to seizing a hot potato.

If it were in the past, the King of Chu would behead Wu Daozi without hesitation, but now he is also in a dilemma.

If you kill, the Han Kingdom will never give up. If you don’t kill, you will be the emperor of Chu, so how can you keep your face?

"Your Majesty, although Wu Daozi holds an important position in the Han State, in the final analysis, he is always a subject of our Chu State. Therefore, my husband suggests that in order to maintain the majesty of our Chu State, such rebellions should be beheaded to show the world."

"Your Majesty, if a rebel like Wu Daozi is not killed, it will inevitably lead to more Chu soldiers and civilians imitating him in the future. By then, Chu will be defeated without conquering him. Therefore, the empress also suggested that Wu Daozi beheading to show the world."

"Your Majesty, the Han State is now in great power, and Zhao State has already been defeated. If we attract the hungry wolf of Han State for the sake of Wu Daozi at this time, this is definitely not a wise move for our Chu State."

Listening to the remarks of His Highness’s civil and military officials, the King of Chu’s face became even more ugly.

It’s all because Wu Qingshan is asking for trouble without any concern for family affection. After all, Wu Daozi is also his younger brother.

Now that he was alive, Wu Qingshan was selfless and escorted his younger brother back to Shangjing.

But now there are rumors in the capital city because of Wu Daozi's return.

In the hearts of the people, whether to kill Wu Daozi or not has risen to the dignity of being a Chu person.

If they were not killed, the people would definitely lose confidence in Chu State and King Chu.

Thinking of this, the King of Chu felt a cold heart and said coldly: "Wu Daozi was originally a crime, but now he dares to treason. Such rebellion is not enough to calm the anger of the public without killing it."

"Transfer my will to parade the traitor Wu Daozi on the street for three days. After three days, he pushed him to the Meridian Gate and behead him to show the world that those who dare to traitor should be killed!"

"Long live my emperor!" All the civil and military officials of Chu State knelt on their knees and shouted.

Among all officials, some are sad and happy, while others are worried.

As a subject of Chu, Wu Daozi treason was enough to kill him a hundred times. However, in the current situation, killing Wu Daozi could calm the hearts of the people, but also gave the Han Dynasty a reason to attack Chu.

Leaving the city, in the general's mansion.

A group of generals gathered in the hall. Ye Chen, wearing black armor, stood at the table with a map, and said with a cold expression: "Wu Qingshan must have studied our tactics before, so today it will lead to the failure of our army to siege the city."

"Ye Chen, didn't you say that Your Majesty has developed a new siege weapon? Otherwise, let's ask Your Majesty for some?" Guo Hu looked at Ye Chen and said.

Ye Chen glanced at Guo Hu and said, "It's just a small Ueda County, you can still ask for help from Your Majesty. You Guo Hu are not afraid of embarrassing you, Ye Chen, can't afford to lose this face."

Guo Hu disturbed his head, glanced at the other generals, leaned closer to Ye Chen's ear and muttered in a low voice: "Ye Chen, in front of so many people, you can at least give me some face!"

Ye Chen glanced at him, his temper calmed down a little, then looked at the map on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Tonight, we will summon all the generals to make some adjustments to our previous siege formation..."

The Han Dynasty Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study Room.

Li He stood respectfully at the imperial desk and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, General Guo Da has been blocked from building a salt field in Yiluo City. He sent someone back to Beijing to ask for instructions. Can it be solved by force?"

Li Xiaoyao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, murmured: "How did you investigate the matter in Japan?"

"Your Majesty, you have found out."

When Li Xiaoyao was surprised by Li He's ability to do things, Li He said respectfully: "Wa is an overseas island country. At present, they are in civil strife in their country, so your Majesty does not have to worry at all. They will pose a threat to the Qinglin coastal area."

"Oh?" Li Xiaoyao smiled contemptuously: "Since Japan does not pose a threat to our Han country, what resistance should we encounter when building salt fields?"

"Your Majesty, it is some local forces." Li He said with a serious face.

"Hmph! In the face of interests, they really dare to fight against me." Li Xiaoyao stood up and said with a cold expression: "Tell Guo Da that those who dare to stop building the salt field will be killed without mercy."

"Your Majesty..." Li He said with a pause: "The identities of these people are quite special, so General Guo Da dared not take his own initiative."

"Why is it special?" Li Xiaoyao glanced at Li He. Now in the Han Dynasty, who dares to confront him, Li Xiaoyao?

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for my courage." Li He knelt on one knee and said, "My Majesty, do you have any relatives living in Ilo City?"

"Relatives?" Li Xiaoyao was surprised and then chuckled: "How could I have relatives living in Yiluo City? Could it be that someone pretended to be my relatives and scared Guo Da?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my death. I found out that four years ago, the tribe of Concubine Yi moved to Yiluo City."

"Mother's Mother?" Li Xiaoyao's expression was a little easier and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, "What do you mean, is the person who stops Guo Da from building the Yantian? Are my mother's tribe members?"

"It's true!" Li He kowtowed and buried his head on the ground and said.

Li Xiaoyao walked up to the imperial desk with a gloomy face, sat on the chair, and fell into deep thought.

No wonder Guo Da dared not act rashly.

Li Xiaoyao, it’s not that I don’t care about your affection, but now you are no longer here, your relatives are not my relatives.

If they dare to hinder my great achievements, I will only be sorry to you.

"Li He, tell Guo Da that I will not blame him for being polite first and then being soldier."

"Your Majesty, this..." Li He didn't know what to say for a moment, nor did he dare to say it casually, and could not say anything for a while.

There is His Majesty’s relatives there, but His Majesty now says, “Friend first and then fight.”

Li Xiaoyao saw that Li He was in trouble, and then said with a cold expression: "In the face of my grand career, no one can hinder my progress, so let Guo Da not have any worries."

"No! I understand." Li He nodded.

"Get up!" Li Xiaoyao waved.

"Thank you!" Li He stood up and then said, "Your Majesty, Miss Lin Ru wants to see you, look...,"

Lin Ru and Lin Wei were captured by Ye Hongyuan and Guo Da in Yiluo City. Ye Hongyuan personally took him back to the capital and are now detained in the Supervision Bureau.

During these days, Li Xiaoyao didn't care about her two sisters. Now that Li He mentioned it, Li Xiaoyao remembered this matter.

Just so happened that Li Xiaoyao wanted to ask something about Tong Lingling from her mouth, and then said, "Take her to the imperial study at noon tomorrow."

"No!" Li He nodded.
