"Your Majesty, the guilty minister is aware of the crime." Nangong Yue, who was kneeling in the hall, lowered her head and replied with a cold expression.

"Your Majesty, Nangong Yue is concealed by her superiors and inherited her title with a woman's body. Later, she sneaked into the army and now she has caused heavy losses to our Chu State army of 300,000. Finally, she begs Your Majesty to kill Nangong Yue." Qi Ruilin knelt down and begged.

"Come, pull Nangong Yue out..." Before the angry King of Chu finished speaking, Wu Qingshan, who was kneeling in the hall, said, "Your Majesty, although Nangong Yue conceals her identity, she is determined to be the State of Chu, and she has no other intentions! Please spare her this time in view of the loyalty and kindness of the General's Mansion of the State-Standard General!"

When the King of Chu was considering the friendship between the king and the subject, Qi Ruilin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Nangong Yue's crime was committed by the emperor to death. If he was not beheaded to show the world, then everyone can follow her in the future. Finally, they will beg Your Majesty again to execute Nangong Yue to serve as a warning to you."

"Your Majesty, Nangong Yue has indeed committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and should be executed. However, Chu State is in trouble. There is a strong enemy invading outside, so there should be no chaos inside!" Wu Qingshan said sternly: "Your Majesty, Nangong Yue led the elite troops of 100,000 Chu troops to retreat to avoid being destroyed, leaving a solid support for our Chu State. If you kill her at this time, you may be disappointed to the hearts of my 100,000 Chu soldiers!"

"Report..." Just now, the battle report on the front line outside the hall came. A soldier ran to His Highness and knelt on one knee and said, "I heard from Your Majesty that the 50,000 city defense troops led by Shangshu Fang were wiped out, and Shangshu Fang was also killed by the enemy general."

"What?" The King of Chu, who was still angry, had his eyes lost and sat blankly on the dragon throne.

The court officials in the hall started to talk in a panic expression.

"Now, most of our elite troops in Chu have been destroyed. What should we do?"

"If the Han army attacked Shangjing at this time, our Chu state..."

"Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that the 100,000 troops brought back by General Nangong should be transferred to the Shangjing City to consolidate the city defense."

"No." Qi Ruilin looked up and said, "Your Majesty, whether Nangong Yue has a rebellious intention has not been found out yet. Don't transfer you and others into the city easily. If they have ulterior motives, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yes! If Nangong Yue has bad intentions, then Chu State will be over."

"Your Majesty, my nephew has something to report." When the court officials were arguing endlessly, the second prince, who had been silent, spoke.

"Authentication!" The King of Chu said looking down at him.

"Your Majesty, now, you can only transfer 100,000 troops outside the city into Shangjing City. Only by relying on the strong city defense can you fight with the Han army. My nephew begs Your Majesty to forgive Nangong Yue this time and let her make meritorious service." The second prince said earnestly.

"Second Prince?" Qi Ruilin frowned and looked at him in confusion.

Didn’t it be agreed that when we returned to Shangjing, we would kill Nangong Yue and his group?

The second prince glanced at Qi Ruilin.

"Nangong Yue, are you willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service?" The King of Chu looked at her.

"Your Majesty, the criminals are willing to make meritorious contributions. As long as the criminals are there, the Han army will never be allowed to step into the capital." Nangong Yue replied coldly.

"Your Majesty..." Qi Ruilin wanted to speak, but was stopped by the second prince beside him. Qi Ruilin looked at him in confusion.

"Retreat the court..."

All the ministers bowed one after another and respectfully sent the King of Chu.

"General Qi, the second prince, Your Majesty summoned him." When the court officials walked out of Chaoyang Hall, an old eunuch intercepted the two of them and said very politely.

In the imperial study room, the King of Chu sat at the table with a serious expression, and the second prince and Qi Ruilin stood in the audience.

"Your Majesty..." Qi Ruilin, who had stood for a while, saw that the King of Chu had been silent, then shouted.

After some consideration, the King of Chu looked up and said, "Qi Ruilin, I ordered you to take my secret order to put Nangong Yue under house arrest in the General's Mansion of Zhenguo."

"No! I will follow the order." Qi Ruilin suppressed his love and replied.

"You go down first! Little Lizi will let the palace guards go with you." King Chu waved his hand, Qi Ruilin and the eunuch beside him saluted, and then withdrew from the imperial study together.

"Second, tell me the truth to my uncle, why are there so many armies in the Han Kingdom?" The King of Chu stood up and walked towards the second prince.

"Uncle, my nephew knows the strength of the Han army, but those soldiers wearing black armor are privately raised by Li Xiaoyao, and his nephew is also kept in the dark."

"And, according to my nephew's inquiry, the black armored troops he raised were not all Han people, there were Chu people and Zhao people."

"Huh?" The King of Chu frowned and walked to the second prince and said, "Is there anyone from Chu?"

The second prince bowed slightly and said respectfully: "My uncle doesn't know that these black armored soldiers are all from Chu, Han, Zhao, refugees and beggars in the Three Kingdoms. Four years ago, they were hired by a wealthy businessman in the Han Dynasty, and since then, they seem to have disappeared from the world."

"For some refugees and beggars, few people care about their life and death, so Li Xiaoyao quietly raised an army of 200,000 people."

"Did there be any secret organization in our Chu State over the years that will specifically transport beggars and refugees to the Han State?" The King of Chu frowned.

"Uncle, my nephew didn't know it before, but just a few days ago, my nephew witnessed a large number of refugees and beggars heading towards Xuancheng on his way back to Shangjing City."

"My nephew sent someone to inquire. Those people said that as long as they go to Xuancheng, they would no longer have to worry about being frozen and hungry. As for what to do, they didn't know."

"What a Li Xiaoyao, where did he get such a silver ounce?" The King of Chu paced in the room.

"This is also the doubt of my nephew." The second prince followed the King of Chu and continued, "Uncle, my nephew also found out that the army of Zhao is now attacking the capital of Han. In my nephew's opinion, Li Xiaoyao should have no time to take care of the State of Chu now. Why don't you take this time to gather the army and give the Han army a shot back?"

The King of Chu stopped and looked back: "Second, what are you thinking in your heart? My uncle knows it clearly. In the current situation, you'd better not be thinking about it."

"I ordered Qi Ruilin to put Nangong Yue under house arrest in order not to give the 100,000 troops outside the city a chance to rebel. If I want to send troops to attack Han at this time, it is to force them to rebel."

"Besides, wouldn't it be a waste of Zhao now to send troops to attack Han? If Zhao takes Han and gives me Chu a blow with his backhand, wouldn't Chu also follow in the footsteps of Han?"

Cunning.

Want to wait for Han, Zhao Liang was defeated and injured, you are taking action to determine the world.

snort!

Isn’t I just don’t want to help me regain the throne? Isn’t I just want to take the opportunity to annex the Han Kingdom? Why is it so high-sounding?

The second prince cursed in his heart.
