The best ring

"Hou Zhong, I hope you can really bring me news about Zhao Xuan, otherwise, I will make you die ugly!" Zhao Lun said to himself.

While Zhao Lun was anxiously waiting, Hou Zhong was brought in. After the general brought Hou Zhong in, he went out very consciously.

"Knock on the door, Your Majesty!"

When Hou Zhong saw Zhao Lun, he knelt down and kowtowed without any hesitation, and his attitude was very respectful.

Hou Zhong was obviously very able to put his status in the right place. Before, when Zhao Lun was the third prince, he could look down on him and even not give him face, but now that Zhao Lun is the emperor of their Yanfeng country, he naturally can no longer have the same attitude as before.

"Get up." Zhao Lun said: "I heard that you have news about my eldest brother?"

Zhao Lun asked directly. Obviously, he was very concerned about the news about Zhao Xuan in his heart, and he was too lazy to waste time beating around the bush.

"Your Majesty, it is true." Hou Zhong said.

"Where are the others?" Zhao Lun asked hurriedly.

"Just outside the city." Hou Zhong said, "He came back with me. After returning to the imperial capital, he couldn't get in because the city gates were closed, so I placed him outside the city."

Hearing Hou Zhong say this, Zhao Lun felt relieved.

"Did you come back from Nanlin City together?" Zhao Lun asked.

"Yes."

"What's the situation in Nanlin City now?"

Nanlin City must be taken back. Whether it is for the sake of his own safety or for the sake of face, Zhao Lun must take back Nanlin City. Therefore, now that he knows that Hou Zhong has just returned from Nanlin City, he naturally has to ask about it.

"Your Majesty, Nanlin City is now occupied by the rebels." Hou Zhong sorted out the news he had learned from the rebel soldiers and said, "After the defeat of Minister Li, the bandit leader Wei San who occupied Nanlin City became famous among the rebels. Rebels from all over the country came here one after another. Now, many rebel forces have arrived in Nanlin City, and more rebel forces are on their way. Nanlin City has been completely controlled by the rebels and the city is in chaos."

Hou Zhong knew very limited information. After all, he had not been to Nanlin City since the rebels occupied it. All the news about Nanlin City he knew was from the rebel soldiers on the road, and the soldiers he captured were only the lowest level of the rebels. Naturally, the information they could know would not be very complete.

Zhao Lun nodded. What Hou Zhong said was similar to what he knew before, and there was nothing new. Of course, it also showed that the news he knew before was normal.

"You came from outside the city, so is there anything unusual about the defeated soldiers outside the city?" Zhao Lun continued to ask.

After learning that Hou Zhong controlled Zhao Xuan, Zhao Lun was not in a hurry. Anyway, Hou Zhong took the initiative to find him, so he must take the initiative to tell him Zhao Xuan's location. He didn't need to ask in a hurry. If he was too anxious, it would give Hou Zhong more bargaining chips.

"No." Hou Zhong shook his head and said, "They are all normal, but they look a little depressed and their morale is a little low."

Although Hou Zhong did not enter the defeated soldiers' camp, he only took a few glances and he could see some problems.

Low morale is the biggest problem of the defeated soldiers outside the city now. This is normal. A hundred thousand troops were defeated by the rebels they looked down on, and even their main general was killed. Anyone would be depressed.

"Is there anyone fanning the flames?" Zhao Lun asked.

"I didn't find that." Hou Zhong said.

Zhao Lun nodded, quite satisfied with this situation.

He didn't dare to let the defeated soldiers in directly now, because he was afraid that there might be rebel spies among them. After all, the southern neighboring city was too close to the imperial capital, and Zhao Lun couldn't help but worry.

Of course, Zhao Lun was also afraid that the defeated soldiers would riot if they were blocked outside the city. There were tens of thousands of people. Once a riot occurred, the situation in the imperial capital would be even more dangerous.

However, it seemed that everything was still normal, which made Zhao Lun very satisfied.

"That's good. If there was chaos outside the city, my brother might be in danger if he stayed outside the city." Zhao Lun said slowly.

Zhao Lun's words made Hou Zhong's face change slightly.

The biggest bargaining chip in his hand now was Zhao Xuan. If Zhao Xuan had any accident, then he would lose the qualification to negotiate with Zhao Lun. Not to mention wanting to go further, it would be very difficult for him to keep his previous identity.

Although everything was normal outside the city when entering the city, who could guarantee that the defeated soldiers would not do anything out of line? You know, the mood of those defeated soldiers is extremely unstable now. In this mood, anything is possible. Once a riot occurs, Zhao Xuan, who is powerless, will inevitably encounter an accident.

You know, Zhao Xuan is alone at this time, and there is no one around to protect him.

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to treat the prince?" Hou Zhong couldn't help asking.

Originally, Hou Zhong didn't plan to ask on his own initiative. When Zhao Lun took the initiative to speak, he could also make some decisions and make more requests, but now, he didn't dare to wait, and didn't dare to delay any longer. Zhao Xuan has been keeping it in his heart, which is not a good thing.

"That's my eldest brother, of course I have to treat him well." Zhao Lun said.

At this point, Zhao Lun paused, and Hou Zhong didn't rush to speak. He knew that Zhao Lun hadn't finished speaking. With Zhao Lun's personality, how could he really hope for Zhao Xuan?

Sure enough, after a pause, Zhao Lun continued: "However, the situation outside the city is unclear now. There may be rebel spies hidden among the defeated soldiers. My eldest brother is alone outside the city. Anything can happen, don't you think?"

Hou Zhong's eyebrows jumped, and he instantly understood what Zhao Lun meant.

His guess was indeed correct. Zhao Lun did not really hope that Zhao Xuan would be well, but hoped that Zhao Xuan would die! Moreover, he died outside the city, died in the hands of defeated soldiers or rebels. No matter which side it was, it had nothing to do with him.

With the previous experience of Hou Yi, Zhao Lun now understood that he could not pull the matter onto himself and try to make it look like an accident. In this way, he could not only get rid of the people who threatened him, but also keep himself out of it completely, which was perfect.

"Your Majesty is right." Hou Zhong said.

Hou Zhong would naturally not disobey Zhao Lun's intentions. He came here to express his loyalty to Zhao Lun.

"However, this matter must be confirmed by someone with their own eyes. After all, he is my eldest brother, not an ordinary person. We can't rely on rumors to prove that he is dead, right?" Zhao Lun continued.
