Chapter 1679 Become a psycho first

Inside Quanzhou City.

The emperor had already entered the city.

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

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

Zhao Chen has been out at sea for so long, and he may have arrived at Huludao long ago. There is no point in sending people to find him now.

The best way now is to wait.

The emperor was sitting in the room, and Cheng Yaojin's knock sounded outside the door.

"Come in." The emperor spoke softly, and Cheng Yaojin opened the door and came in, then gently closed the door.

"What did the investigation reveal?" 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 rogues.

In fact, there were people in Quanzhou City who joined forces with Japanese rogues to plot against Zhao Chen.

"No." Cheng Yaojin shook his head.

The emperor nodded slightly. Cheng Yaojin didn't find anything out of his investigation, which was as he expected.

But this made him more certain that there were people in Quanzhou City who were colluding with the Japanese rogues.

And Huludao is an ambush.

"Did the Xuanjia Army take over the defense of Quanzhou City?" the emperor asked again.

Now that it was certain that someone in Quanzhou City was conspiring with the Japanese prodigies, the emperor naturally wanted to take control of Quanzhou City as soon as possible.

"It has been taken over. Some people were unwilling to do so and were killed by the old minister." Cheng Yaojin said with his hands in hand.

The emperor did not show any strange expression.

Instead, they asked about other people’s attitudes: “Who was there and what was their reaction?”

"Led by Zhang Ji, the governor of Quanzhou, all the officials, big and small, were there. They saw the old minister beheading the man who was unwilling to kill him.

Except for Zhang Ji, the governor of Quanzhou, many people showed displeasure on their faces. "Cheng Yaojin answered the emperor calmly.

The emperor nodded slightly.

But he didn't say anything else.

"Your Majesty, the King of Han and his friends have been at sea for three days. Do we really not send people to support them?" Cheng Yaojin was a little worried about Zhao Chen's safety.

Although Zhao Chen had many outstanding performances in the military before, this time it was a sea battle after all.

He, Cheng Yaojin, a battle-hardened veteran, didn't have any confidence. How could Zhao Chen deal with the Japanese prodigals who lived on the sea all year round?

"Three days have passed. If they had met the Japanese rogues, they would have met them long ago."

"By the time we send someone over, it will be too late."

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

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

But I can check the things in Quanzhou City myself.

Otherwise, why would he immediately take control of Quanzhou City's defenses?

"Old guy, starting from today, send people to keep an eye on all the officials in the city. If they are found to be in contact with strangers, arrest them immediately." The emperor ordered Cheng Yaojin.

…

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

"We don't have any power in our hands now. Why didn't you object in the first place?" In the courtyard, a Quanzhou official said to the figure in the darkness.

There was worry in his tone.

"How can I object?"

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

The official who spoke hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to continue.

"I don't know what's going on with Ichiro Watanabe. Three or four days have passed. He should have killed all Zhao Chen's people." A voice came slowly from the darkness.

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

"Watanabe Ichiro and his friends have been living at sea and are very familiar with naval battles. This time it is an ambush. There is no way they can lose."

"Maybe at this time, Ichiro Watanabe is sending someone to tell you the good news." The official said with a smile.

Obviously he has great confidence in Ichiro Watanabe.

But the figures in the darkness seemed less optimistic than the officials.

"That Zhao Chen cannot be underestimated. I don't know how many times his opponents have despised him, but what happened next?"

"Zhao Chen has been living well."

"On the contrary, all his opponents have become a thing of the past."

"Although Ichiro Watanabe has some abilities, but..." At this point, the voice in the darkness slowly stopped.

"How many of the city's defense personnel are ours now?" The voice in the darkness asked again about Quanzhou City's defense.

"There are not many people left. All the important places in the city have been taken over by the Xuanjia Army."

"Cheng Yaojin is also someone who doesn't trust us at all. Our people are either driven back to the military camp or do odd jobs in unimportant places."

"You can't touch anything important at all."

"Sir, we are in danger if we continue like this." The official whispered, he was also worried at the moment.

The emperor sent people to take over the city defense of Quanzhou. He must not believe it.

Officials in Quanzhou.

Once the emperor really found out something, none of them would be able to survive.

Furthermore, once Zhao Chen died in the hands of Ichiro Watanabe, the emperor would rather kill the wrong person than let them go, officials big and small in Quanzhou.

Without their own people in the city defense, they are completely like lambs to be slaughtered.

"I have my own arrangements for this matter. You should go back first and closely monitor the emperor's movements!" said the figure in the darkness.

…

And here in Huludao.

The Tang warship has been parked offshore for more than three days.

Apart from the constant lifting and dropping of anchor, there was no other movement.

Watanabe Bear and others were so anxious that they almost died.

Watanabe Ichiro remained calm and only sneaked in to observe the movements of the Tang Dynasty warships from time to time.

But Watanabe Xiongji and the others who were ambushing the Tang army were feeling a little depressed at the moment.

Anyone who thinks that the opponent will land on the island from time to time, but turns out to be just bluffing again and again, will become too nervous.

"Brother, what exactly is this Tang army going to do?"

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

If Ichiro Watanabe hadn't allowed it, he, Kumaji Watanabe, would have taken the initiative to rush out with his men.

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

That's why he deliberately kept raising and dropping anchor, hoping to keep his people in a state of high tension.

Then kill yourself by surprise.

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

But this did not affect his decision of Ichiro Watanabe.
