‘Guluuluulu~~~’

Li Yunze used his hands and feet to struggle desperately.

Without the slightest precaution, he immediately appeared in the water. He was caught off guard and choked on the water on the spot. The choking in his mouth and nose was extremely uncomfortable.

Vaguely, he heard someone shouting, 'The prince has fallen into the water~~~'

After the 'pop' sound, several strong figures swam over quickly and dragged him out of the water.

‘Ahem~~~’

Li Yunze coughed several times, his eyes red with fascination, and tried his best to explain, "Actually, I can swim."

"The prince is naturally very good at water." Several people pulled Li Yunze to the shore. The stone steps were already crowded with people, and they dragged him ashore with all their hands and feet.

Coughing water, picking out ears, rubbing tears, stamping feet.

After a lot of trouble, things finally got a lot better.

Li Yunze looked around with red eyes, "Who pushed me into the water?"

People around him repeatedly apologized and claimed that he was guilty of death.

Finally, a helper took the initiative to explain that the prince himself was in a trance and accidentally fell into the water while walking by the river.

Li Yunze said calmly, "Let's go back home first."

"Your Majesty." A eunuch hurriedly came forward and saluted, "Your Majesty has summoned me, so I must see you first."

"oh."

Li Yunze nodded, "I drank too much water and I'm a little unconscious. If I wait for a while, my head will probably be full of water. Let's go and see you."

A helper nearby joked, "It must be that the Dragon King of Bianhe River saw that it was the prince and did not dare to neglect to send the prince back."

Everyone laughed in agreement.

"Bianhe River."

No wonder the surrounding scenery looks familiar, the rows of bustling streets, if you guessed it right.

Right on the edge of the river embankment, I wrung out my clothes, got on my horse, and headed directly onto the Imperial Street toward the Imperial City.

"Your Majesty." The eunuch came closer and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty wants to choose a hostage from among the kings. Your Majesty, please do not agree."

Li Yunze, whose heart was slightly moved, smiled slightly, "Why is this?"

"Your Majesty." The eunuch looked anxious. "The Jin people outside the city are as cruel as wild beasts. If you do..."

He didn't dare to say the next words because Li Yunze beside him had already reined in his horse and stared at him like a sharp sword.

The look in his eyes was so terrifying that he was so shocked that he dared not speak.

"There is a golden man outside the city?!"

"Yes Yes."

Li Yunze closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Many toys in his warehouse came to his mind. "The Emperor wants to choose a proton?"

"Your Majesty." The eunuch was puzzled, "The Supreme Emperor has run away. It's your Majesty."

Li Yunze thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What year is it today?"

"I ascend the throne today and change the reign name of Xuanhe to Jingkang. This is the first year of Jingkang, the tenth day of the first lunar month."

"Jingkang!"

This year name is really too loud.

Even after a thousand years, it will not be forgotten.

Because it represents a great shame and humiliation!

"The first year of Jingkang, not the second year. It doesn't matter, you can use more choices."

If it was the second year of Jingkang and Jin Bing was outside the city.

Not to mention, he used all kinds of toys and fought to the death with the golden man until he vomited blood. No matter what he did, he couldn't let the shame of Jingkang happen in front of him.

If it were the first year of Jingkang, there would still be time to operate.

After all, it is simply too unrealistic for one person to carry Gatling Bodhisattva across the world, and the power of this world must be mobilized.

Seeing Li Yunze talking to himself there, the eunuch was so frightened that his legs were trembling.

If King Kang became a fool because he fell into the water, they and others would definitely suffer.

Fortunately, Li Yunze quickly came to his senses, looked at the eunuch beside him and smiled, "You are."

"Your Majesty, our family is Kanglu."

"Oh~~~"

Li Yunze said no more and rode his horse along the royal road straight to the palace.

After entering the palace, there were people guiding us along the way, and we went straight to the Chui Gong Hall.

Entering the hall, there are already many young people wearing purple gold crowns and red python robes gathered here chattering.

"Brother Ninth is here."

"Kuro."

Seeing Li Yunze coming in, everyone greeted him one after another.

Seeing that his clothes were still stained with water, someone immediately joked, "Why is Jiulang sweating so much on this cold day?"

Li Yunze responded with a smile but did not answer.

Without him, this group of people would be taken to Five Kingdoms City like livestock next year, and then live a life inferior to that of pigs and dogs. They would be tied up to little brothers and perform the "sheep-leading ceremony" at every turn.

What kind of noble people, what kind of princes and princes, are even worse than dogs in the face of absolute force!

As the escort from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over and sang softly, everyone fell into silence.

Zhao Huan, who was only in his twenties but looked as gloomy as an old man in his forties or fifties, walked in wearing a sky-high crown and a red round-necked dragon robe.

Everyone bowed their hands and saluted, "Guanjia~~~"

"Brothers, there is no need to be polite." Zhao Huan's voice was a little hoarse, and his forced smile was ugly. "You all have a seat."

Although I am very anxious, I still have to go through the process.

We exchanged greetings, talked nonsense, and put on a show of going back and forth.

After burning all the incense, Zhao Huan finally got to the point.

"The Jin people have agreed to withdraw their troops, but they want a prince to go to the Jin Kingdom as an envoy. Who is willing to do it for me?"

Zhao Huan wanted to save face, but he did not dare to say that he was a hostage, only that he was an envoy.

It's just that at this time, no one can hide this kind of thing.

All the princes lowered their heads and took a breath, like timid quails.

The Jin people are so cruel that no one dares to be a hostage.

Zhao Huan, who was mentally tortured because of the Jin people's march south, glanced at him one by one, but no one dared to look at him.

Until Li Yunze, who couldn't help but sneer.

"Kuro."

Li Yunze raised his hand and said, "Okay."

Zhao Huan was stunned. What's wrong?

"I go."

Taking a step forward, Li Yunze raised his voice and said, "I am willing to go."

It is certainly dangerous to be a hostage for the Jin people, but it is also an opportunity to gain huge reputation.

If you want to win over the civil and military hearts of those who lead the war, and win over the hearts and minds of the people in the lost lands of the North, this is a good opportunity.

Zhao Huan was greatly moved. He stood up and came over to hold Li Yunze's hand. "Jiulang, thank you for your hard work."

"Haha~~~"

What else could he say? It's not good to just say you're a loser right now. Let me take the chair.

After confirming the candidate, Zhao Huan hurriedly left Chui Gong Hall with relief, as if he was afraid that Li Yunze would change his mind and make him look bad.

Many other princes looked at him with different expressions, and then left one after another.

Li Yunze didn't care about these people at all.

After leaving the imperial city, Kang Lu and others who had already received the news eagerly gathered around, stamping their feet and sighing, "Your Majesty, how can I agree to this?"

"No need to say more, go back home."

Time: the tenth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingkang.
