Inside Quanzhou City.

The emperor had already entered the city.

He originally planned to send people to sea to find Zhao Chen, Li Ke and others.

But after thinking about it, the emperor gave up this idea.

Zhao Chen has been out of the sea for so long, so he has probably arrived in Huludao long ago. It is meaningless to send someone to find him now.

The best way now is to wait.

The emperor sat in the room, and Cheng Yaojin's knocking sounded outside the door.

"Come in." The emperor spoke gently, and Cheng Yaojin pushed the door open, and then gently closed the door.

"But what has been investigated?" The emperor's eyes fell on Cheng Yaojin.

The emperor knew in his heart that the matter of Zhao Chen leading troops to Huludao was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Maybe someone deliberately revealed this news to Zhao Chen.

And this news was deliberately leaked by the Japanese ronin.

Even in Quanzhou City, someone joined forces with the Japanese ronin to conspire to deal with Zhao Chen.

"No." Cheng Yaojin shook his head.

The emperor nodded slightly. Cheng Yaojin didn't find anything, which was as expected.

But this made him even more sure that someone in Quanzhou City colluded with the Japanese ronin.

And Huludao is just an ambush.

"Has the Xuanjia Army taken over the defense of Quanzhou City?" the emperor asked again.

Since it has been confirmed that someone in Quanzhou City conspires with the Japanese ronin, the emperor naturally needs to control Quanzhou City as soon as possible.

"It has taken over. Someone is unwilling to do so in the middle and was beheaded by the old minister." Cheng Yaojin bowed and said.

The emperor did not show any strange expression.

Instead, he asked about the attitude of others: "Who was there at that time, and how did their reaction?"

"The head of the Quanzhou Governor Zhang Ji, all the officials are here. When the old ministers are unwilling to kill the person, except for the Quanzhou Governor Zhang Ji, many people have a look of displeasure on their faces." Cheng Yaojin 1117

answered the emperor.

The emperor nodded slightly.

But he didn't say anything more.

"Your Majesty, the King of Han and others have been out of the sea for three days. Are we really not sending people to support us?" Cheng Yaojin was a little worried about Zhao Chen's safety.

Although Zhao Chen had many outstanding performances in the army before, this time it was a maritime battle.

Cheng Yaojin, a veteran who has been through the battlefield, has no confidence. How can Zhao Chen deal with the Japanese ronin who have been living on the sea for many years?

"Three days passed, if they met the Japanese ronin, they would have met a long time ago."

"It's too late to send someone over."

"What we can do now is to find out as clearly as possible who is colluding with the Japanese ronin in Quanzhou City." The emperor said lightly.

The emperor understood that he could not help Zhao Chen directly at the moment.

However, you can check the matters in Quanzhou City by yourself.

Otherwise, why should I immediately control the city defense of Quanzhou City?

"Old guy, starting today, I will send people to keep an eye on the officials in the city. Once they find out that they are in contact with strangers, they will be arrested immediately." The emperor issued an order to Cheng Yaojin.

...

"Sir, all the defenses in this city were taken over by the Xuanjia Army, and our people began to obey the orders of the Xuanjia Army."

"We have no strength in our hands now, why didn't you object at the beginning?" In the house, a Quanzhou official said to the figure in the dark.

There was concern in his tone.

"How do I object?"

"How can I object to the emperor's personal order?" The figure in the dark seemed a little impatient.

The spoken official hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to take any further retaliation.

"I don't know how Ichiro Watanabe is doing. It's been three or four days. He should have killed all Zhao Chen and the others." A voice in the darkness came slowly.

"Don't worry, Zhao Chen and others will definitely die at the hands of Ichiro Watanabe."

"Ichiro Watanabe and the others have always lived on the sea and are extremely familiar with naval battles. This time they are ambushing again, so they can't lose."

"Maybe at this time, Ichiro Watanabe will send someone to announce the good news to the adults." The official said with a smile.

Obviously, I am extremely confident in Ichiro Watanabe.

But the figures in the dark seem not as optimistic as the officials.

"That Zhao Chen must not be underestimated. I don't know how many times his opponents despise him, but what happened later?"

"Zhao Chen has always lived well."

"On the contrary, his opponents have all become passing clouds."

"Although Ichiro Watanabe has some skills,..." When he said this, the sound in the darkness slowly stopped again.

"How many of the defenses in the city are ours now?" The voice in the dark asked about the defenses in Quanzhou City again.

"There are not many people anymore, and all the important places in the city have been taken over by the Xuanjia Army."

"Then Cheng Yaojin also completely distrusts us. Our people were either driven back to the barracks or just do odd jobs in some unimportant places."

“There is no contact with any important places.”

"Sir, we are very dangerous if this continues." The official whispered, and he was also worried at this moment.

The emperor sent someone to take over Quanzhou's urban defense, so he definitely did not believe in Quanzhou officials.

Once the emperor really found something, none of them could survive.

Furthermore, once Zhao Chen dies at the hands of Ichiro Watanabe, the emperor would even rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, all the officials of Quanzhou.

If the city defense has no one, they are completely lambs to be slaughtered.

"I have my own arrangements for this matter. You can go back first and closely monitor the movements of the emperor and the others!" said the figure in the dark.

...

And here in Huludao.

The Tang Dynasty warships have been parked near the sea for more than three days.

Apart from the continuous anchoring and breaking down, there is no other movement.

It made Watanabe Kuroji and others anxious.

Ichiro Watanabe was calm and just secretly observed the movements of the Tang Dynasty warships from time to time.

But Huji Watanabe and the people who ambushed the Tang army were all in a state of depression at this moment.

Anyone who thinks that the other side will land on the island from time to time, but in the end he is just bluffing again and again, he will be overly nervous.

"Brother, what exactly are the Tang army going to do?"

"If this continues, we will become crazy before they land on the island!" Watanabe Kuraji and Watanabe Ichiro complained.

If I hadn't allowed Ichiro Watanabe, he would have led his people to rush out.

Ichiro Watanabe had already understood that these Tang troops had long known that there was an ambush on the island.

That's why I deliberately kept setting up and breaking up, wanting my own people to be in a state of high tension.

Then I caught myself off guard.

Ichiro Watanabe knew that he really underestimated the Han King of the Tang Dynasty.
