After listening to Cui Ying's words, Cui Tan thought for a moment, walked up to the embarrassed Jin Tao, and raised his knife.
Jin Tao felt a chill on his scalp, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to move.
Amidst the scratching sound, Jin Tao saw the rest of his hair falling off...
Cui Tan shaved off all his hair, leaving only a kiwi fruit like a dog chewing.
Then Cui Tan pulled Jin Tao up from the ground, who was scared to the point of peeing again, and said in a cold voice:
"Go back and tell them that whoever dares to touch a hair of my father's commander, our Baishou Army will kill his entire family!"
"Do you understand?" Cui Tan roared out the last five words.
"Listen, I understand." Jin Tao hurriedly said with all his strength.
"Go away." Cui Tan threw him to the ground, and Jin Tao's followers dared to step forward to help him.
Cui Ying watched her son's actions with cold eyes, and then slowly ordered: "You take the Baishou Army and station it outside the east gate first. I will give you news within three days."
"It's my father." Cui Tan quickly agreed and asked, "What if there is no news?"
"That means my father has been killed." Cui Ying said lightly: "You can only decide what to do."
After saying that, he clasped his fists at the officers and soldiers of the Bai Shou Army and said: "Everyone, Cui Tan and the Cui family, I leave it to you."
"Don't worry, Marshal, we will swear allegiance to the Cui family and the young marshal to the death!" Baishou's officers and soldiers shouted in unison, then knelt down to send Cui Ying off on horseback.
Seeing Cui Ying go away, Cui Tan burst into tears first, and then Bai Shoujun burst into tears, and the cries echoed in the mountains.
~~
Jin Tao waited on the carriage for a long time before coming back to his senses.
He didn't feel ashamed, because it took a lot of courage to go out of Beijing alone and face Cui Ying and Bai Shoujun.
You don’t care how many times I peed my pants, but I came back alive, and successfully blocked the Bai Shou Army from entering the city, and brought Cui Ying back to the capital. Let me ask you if I’m awesome?
He grinned in relief, until he subconsciously touched the top of his head and only touched a kiwi fruit, then he cried again.
My body, hair, and skin are affected by my parents, and I have my head shaved. How can I show off to others?
While frantically cursing the cruel Cui Tan, Jin Tao suddenly understood why His Royal Highness King Chu wanted Cui Ying to live.
It turned out to be to make the Baishou Army use the enemy to avoid jumping over the wall in a hurry!
If Li Chenggui really wanted to kill Cui Ying directly, the Bai Shou Army would probably have to wipe out the capital with blood, and no one would be able to survive.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you are so wise." Jin Tao praised while crying.
~~
After Jin Tao calmed down, he opened the car door and said to Cui Ying who was riding a horse: "Master Yuan, please get in the car."
"I'm not used to riding in a car." Cui Ying snorted.
"We are about to enter the city. If we ride a horse, it will inevitably cause a commotion." Jin Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Please be considerate of me."
Cui Ying's status in the hearts of the people in Kaijing is beyond imagination. If the Koreans in Kaijing see Cui Yuanjun being brought back to the capital, there will definitely be trouble.
"Okay." Cui Ying nodded, got off the car, sat down and closed her eyes to rest, too lazy to pay attention to the kiwi fruit.
It wasn't until the carriage entered the city and passed through the streets for a while that he opened his eyes and said, "This is not the way to the palace."
"Yes, let's not go to the palace or the capital hall, let's go to the guest house." Jin Tao found a conical hat from somewhere and put it on his head.
"Where are you going?" Cui Ying said coldly.
"To tell you the truth, there are five princes and royal highnesses in the Ming Dynasty's mission this time..." Jin Tao then told Cui Ying the secret.
"What? Where did the prince come from?" Cui Ying was almost shocked and bumped her head against the roof of the carriage.
Jin Tao told Cui Ying what happened. After Cui Ying listened, she finally understood why Li Renren capsized in the ditch.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier when you were outside the city?" Cui Ying asked with some confusion: "If you had told me, wouldn't you have avoided this humiliation?"
"Jun Yuan, is my honor and disgrace more important, or the future of Goryeo?" Jin Tao said softly: "If I tell the truth, Li Renren and Yuan Jun intended to assassinate five Ming princes. This crime would be huge. I'm afraid not only
Your two families will suffer the whole of Korea."
"Understood." Cui Ying nodded in agreement, glanced at Jin Tao with a complicated expression and said: "The dog is shapeless, Jin Sheren, don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, it's okay..." Jin Tao was about to say, 'I don't have any hair missing.' Suddenly he remembered that all his hair had been shaved, and he couldn't help but feel sad again.
~~
After Jin Tao reported to the Guest House, Zhu Zhen met Cui Ying in the front hall.
Although Cui Ying was mentally prepared, she still didn't expect that the prince of Ming Dynasty would be so young.
"This is His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Seeing that he was stunned, Jin Tao quickly coughed and reminded him.
Cui Ying finally came to her senses and quickly kowtowed to Lao Liu to apologize.
Zhu Zhen sat down on the throne and said directly without saying anything: "Mr. Cui Yuan, we meet again."
Cui Ying looked at Lao Liu, and it took her a while to recall that this was the fat man who had his head lowered and only ate when she and Li Renren hosted a banquet for the Chinese envoys.
"Who would have thought that this little fat man could be the Prince of Ming Dynasty!" Cui Ying screamed in her heart, feeling extremely ridiculous.
"That day I asked about Eunuch Huang's death." Zhu Zhen continued in a deep voice: "Li Renren deceived us and said that he hanged himself. But after our autopsy, we found that Eunuch Huang was actually strangled and then pretended to hang himself.
Do you know about this matter?"
At this point, Cui Ying had no need to hide it, as that would only lower his price. She said slowly: "I was not in Beijing when the incident happened, so I had no way of knowing. But after I returned to Beijing, Li Renren told me.
"
"If you don't report the knowledge, you are covering up." Zhu Zhen said flatly: "According to Li Renren's personal admission, he sent you out of the capital to mobilize your Baishou army to enter the capital and eliminate us. Is that what happened?"
"Yes." Cui Ying nodded and said, "But I didn't know the identities of your highnesses at that time."
"It is also a heinous crime to attempt to destroy the Chinese mission!" Zhu Zhen said, slapping the table.
"Yeah." Cui Ying nodded in agreement.
The young His Highness said coldly: "If you commit a crime, you will naturally have to pay the price. Mr. Cui Yuan, now I give you two choices, one is to commit suicide, and the other is to atone. Which one do you choose?"
"What kind of atonement?" Cui Ying asked.
"I heard that when you were young, you led troops to the Central Plains and suppressed the Red Turban Army?" Zhu Zhen also asked.
"Yes." Cui Ying nodded.
"You also know that my father and the others were originally from the Red Scarf Army, right?" Zhu Zhen asked again.
"Know."
"Now the king asks you to help us fight against the Yuan people. Is this reasonable?" Zhu Zhen smiled brightly and said: "You can't just help Meng Yuan and not us, right? This is too unfair."
"I can go." Cui Ying responded.
"No, no, what's the use of having you alone? What I want is your entire Baishou Army." Zhu Zhen made an 'I want them all' gesture towards Cui Ying and asked in a deep voice:
"In this way, not only will I not hold you accountable, I will also not hold Goryeo accountable. Is this a good deal?"
