Mr. Tan's expression said it all.

The King of Yue seemed to be thrown high into the sky and fell into an invisible abyss. The coldness rose from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body.

Fang Cai's blood instantly cooled down.

King Yue refused to accept the facts in front of him. When he thought he saw the dawn, someone closed the window and told him that it was all fake.

No one can accept it.

The hand of King Yue holding Mr. Tan's shoulder unconsciously exerted force, and Mr. Tan felt pain and flicked his hand away: "Let them retreat first, close the city gate, hurry up!"

It's not that they want to retreat, but that the Wuyang army forced them to retreat and find another way out.

King Yue gritted his teeth, he didn't want to just give up.

"We can't back down. If we are trapped in the city again this time, we won't have any chance. We must make a quick decision and use the fastest speed to break through the encirclement."

Mr. Tan thought for a while, and felt that what the King of Yue said was reasonable. They couldn't be trapped in Hanzhou all the time, or they were very likely to be trapped here. Now is the only chance.

When speaking, the people below also found something wrong.

"Is someone coming?"

"Our people? Or... the court?"

The same doubts spread not only among the soldiers under the King of Yue, but also among the troops sent by the imperial court.

At the beginning of the war, although they knew that King Yue had a backer, they didn't know that the opponent's troops would exceed them by so much. The general had already written a letter of help to the court, and they waited desperately until now, just to hold off King Yue. Wait for help.

After fighting for so long with troops far higher than their own, they could hardly hold on any longer. If the imperial court hadn't sent someone, today, the King of Yue is likely to break through the siege.

"General, not far away, a large number of traces of the movement of the people and horses were found."

The man called the general grabbed the sword beside him: "Is it ours, or is it from the King of Yue?"

The voice fell, and the people around held their breaths in full screen. Many times before, after they heard such reports, the King of Yue's power would grow a bit. From the beginning, they were able to crush each other to the point where they were evenly matched to being crushed by the other side. It only took less than a month.

They wish they could hear a completely different answer than before.

"If you go back to the general, this time it's the imperial army!" Xiao Bing couldn't hide his excitement.

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone looked at the general, but saw that there was no relaxed expression on the general's face, and his brows were tightened.

"General?"

"Don't take it lightly, and carefully determine the identity of the other party."

"Yes!"

The general's words made them clear their minds a bit. They remembered what happened not long ago. The King of Yue's people disguised as the imperial army approached them. If the general had not responded in time, they might have long since become the dead souls of the enemy's sword.

Gu Huai brought people closer, and everyone saw the flag they held high, which was the symbol of Da Huan.

"The people sent by Your Majesty have arrived!"

The arrival of Gu Huai completely reversed the situation on the battlefield.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the dark clouds shrouded in the sky over Hanzhou finally dissipated on this day.

Before the new year, the court received news that the traitor was being executed.

King Yue escaped under the cover of his confidants. Before they could go far, Gu Huai sent people to catch up and caught them back.

In this battle, Gu Huai once again made a great contribution.

As one of the head coaches, when he returned to Beijing, Gu Huai rode at the forefront.

The people of the capital welcomed the crowd. They had already received the news of the defeat of the King of Yue from the people's newspaper. The King of Yue, Mr. Tan and others were imprisoned in the prison cart, attracting countless rotten eggs and rotten leaves.

King Yue looked at everything in front of him, and finally escaped from the capital, but he came back in the most embarrassed posture.

A rotten egg slammed into his head, shattered, and the disgusting stench overflowed instantly.

At the beginning, King Yue was still dissatisfied and frowned, but now, in the face of these, he will no longer show superfluous expressions.

Along the way, all he heard was contempt for himself.

It was the 5,000 soldiers and horses that Gu Huai brought back from Subei who was responsible for escorting the King of Yue and others back to Beijing. The soldiers and horses originally sent by the imperial court to Hanzhou stayed there temporarily to deal with follow-up matters.

When the hero returns to the capital, as a token of attention, the imperial court will send special officials to greet him.

This time, Gu Huai made two meritorious deeds, and even turned the tide and captured the King of Yue. The court needs to pay attention to it.

On the day Gu Huai brought people back, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin changed into civilian clothes and left the palace.

In the restaurant and teahouse, everything was talked about about King Yue. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin didn't choose Yingxinglou this time, but chose another teahouse. They asked for a private room on the second floor by the window, so that they could see what was going on outside.

They chose the place that Gu Huai and his party must pass through after entering Beijing.

Shen Yu poured a good tea for himself, and pushed one of the cups in front of Shang Junlin: "The tea here is good, your majesty try it."

This teahouse was recommended by Jiang Huaiqing when he wrote a letter to him. For a long time before, Shang Junlin was busy with government affairs and was unable to leave the palace. Today, he was free, and at the invitation of Shen Yu, he came out with him.

Shang Junlin picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I still prefer Ayu's craftsmanship."

Shen Yuhui has a lot of things. One of the teas has accompanied him for two lifetimes. In his previous life, he was alone and liked to make tea for himself. In this life, there is more Shang Junlin, so he will cook for Shang Junlin.

Being used to drinking tea made by Shen Yu, Shang Junlin can no longer accept the tea made by others.

Shen Yu glanced at the sky, there was still time, and asked the waiter to bring the tea set.

"I just said that Ayu doesn't have to do it himself." When Shang Jun saw it, he hurriedly held his hand.

"It's okay, just right, I prefer to drink my own tea." Shen Yu's words were not to appease Shang Junlin, he really thought so. When he was in the palace, he liked to do it himself.

Seeing that he was interested, Shang Junlin asked Eunuch Meng to pick out some rare tea sets and send them to the Yuzhang Palace.

The gloomy movements were smooth, the light blue clothes danced with his movements, his eyes drooped, and he focused on the white porcelain teacup in his hand.

Shang Junlin's eyes fell on him, unable to move away.

Worrying that Shen Yu was hungry, Shang Junlin ordered a lot of desserts, all of which were sweet tastes that Shen Yu liked.

Shang Junlin took a piece of dessert and fed it to Shen Yu's mouth, Shen Yu took a bite, and the faint tea fragrance spread in his mouth, he was surprised: "Is this cake with tea leaves?"

It has the fragrance of tea but not the bitterness of tea. Instead, it is sweet in the mouth, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

"Using a special method to keep the fragrance of tea in the cakes and filter out the bitterness, it is a famous snack here."

The sun gradually slanted westward, and more and more people gathered on the street. Shen Yu and the others chose a good location with a wide field of vision, allowing them to see everything below.

"Is it almost there?" Shen Yu put down the teacup and looked outside.

As soon as the voice fell, he heard the sound of horse hooves not far away, and Shen Yu leaned forward and looked in the direction of the sound.

The soldiers and soldiers in armor came in uniform, and the people automatically stood on the side of the road to make way for them.

Shen Yu could hear the voices of discussion and cheers coming from below. They rejoiced for Da Huan's victory and shouted for the brave soldiers.

Shen Yu unconsciously smiled and sat back in his seat.

Gu Huai and the others were very fast. In less than a moment, they had reached the downstairs of the teahouse. Shen Yu saw Gu Huai sitting high on the horse.

Now Gu Huai is a little more determined than he was without an official before he left. His eyes are closer to the person in Shen Yu's memory. Shen Yu can't help but think of his previous life. What happened to Gu Huai before he met him?

The gloomy eyes fell on Gu Huai for a long time. Shang Junlin was dissatisfied and pinched his chin, seeing the sadness in his eyes that he didn't have time to put away.

"What is Ayu thinking?" Shang Junlin's finger strength increased uncontrollably, and his voice carried a hostility that the master had not yet noticed.

Shen Yu pulled away from the memory of his previous life and felt a little pain in his jaw.

"Your Majesty, you pinch me."

Shang Junlin released Shen Yu's chin as if he had just woken up from a dream. Not surprisingly, two shocking red marks were left on Shen Yu's chin.

"Does it hurt?" The anger in his heart dissipated instantly, and Shang Junlin carefully raised his gloomy chin and touched it with his fingertips.

Shen Yu shook his head, and out of the corner of the eye caught a glimpse of King Yue who was locked in a prison car.

"This time, His Majesty is going to deal with the King of Yue, and no one will jump out and say that the emperor has orders?"

As if feeling something, the person in the prison car raised his head and glanced here, and then looked away as if he had been stabbed.

"King Yue's rebellion is a sure thing, they don't dare."

Seeing the scene he wanted to see, Shen Yu was satisfied.

King Yue was arrested, Shang Junlin still had a lot of things to do, packed some snacks, and the two got up and went back to the palace.

Habit is really a terrible thing. Shen Yu used to be used to being alone for more than ten years, but now it has taken just one year to get used to the existence of another person beside him.

After staying with Shen Yu in Yuzhang Palace for a while, Shang Junlin went to see Gu Huai and others.

After a brief wash, Gu Huai needed to go to the palace to face the saint. With him, there were several other generals who came to Beijing with him this time. Some of them were brought back from Subei, some were collected halfway, and some were sent to Beijing. to Hanzhou.

The King of Yue and his accomplices were imprisoned in the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The King of Yue had already rebelled, and even with the order of the late emperor, this time, no one in the court dared to intercede for the King of Yue.

That is a serious crime of treason, and they have a few lives that are not enough to compensate.

No one would joke about the fate of themselves and their family, and conspiracy to commit a felony, but it would be stigmatized for thousands of years.

In the palace, a small reception banquet was held for Gu Huai and others. There were also important officials in the court.

Gu Huai suddenly became a second-rank general, a higher official position than the previous one.

This time, no one objected.

"I ordered you to arrest the traitor Yu Dang as quickly as possible." At the same time as the reward, Shang Junlin issued a new task.

"The minister obeys the order!"

After receiving the decree, Gu Huai returned to his position. During this period, many ministers came to seek relations, and they had already seen the future of this new general from Shang Junlin's attitude.

If it can be reused by His Majesty, it will definitely have a bright future. Besides, Gu Huai currently does not belong to any force in the imperial court. At this time, of course, if he can make good friends, it is best to bring people to his own camp.

After the small banquet, Shang Junlin did not return to the Yuzhang Palace immediately, but went to the imperial study.

The leader of the hidden dragon guard quietly appeared in the imperial study.

"I need to know all the information about Gu Huai, no matter the details."

He couldn't help but care about the look in Shen Yu's eyes during the day.
