please make me king

Chapter 1724
"What, King Shun's vanguard is here?" Zheng Zhilong, who was frowning, couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly ordered loudly, "Quick, hurry up!"

As the leader of the Zheng clan, he originally thought that although there were some differences among the members of the Zheng clan, they would still be consistent in major matters.

But he never expected that when he made the decision to hijack King Lu and surrender to King Shun, his two brothers Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Zhibao, and his son Zheng Cai would oppose him and fight him with swords. This made him feel the anger of being betrayed and the fear of being betrayed.

But Gu Tinglin's timely arrival temporarily comforted his anxiety.

"Do you really want to go in?" Just as Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief, Guizhuang who followed Gu Tinglin to the outside of Taizhou City couldn't help asking.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger's cub!" Gu Tinglin replied confidently, "Believe me, we will make great achievements soon!"

"That's fine, I hope His Highness's reputation can deter these Xiaoxiao!" Gui Zhuang shook his head and couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Some things sound good, but in practice it is extremely difficult.

For example, "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch tiger cubs", everyone understands it, but when it comes to yourself, you want to bet your own wealth and life, how can it be treated as a trifling matter?

In fact, Gu Tinglin was also retreating in his heart, but he also knew that there was only one chance.

Zhang Shun's generals are like clouds and counselors are like rain, if not for his younger sister Gu Qiji who is very fond of him, if not for the fact that other people are not by his side, how could this opportunity be his turn?
If he doesn't seize this opportunity this time, I'm afraid it will be in vain for him to live to be a hundred years old.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look firm: Believe in yourself, Gu Tinglin, you can do it!

"My lord, please!" Just as everyone was feeling flustered, they suddenly heard a loud shout, and then the gate of Taizhou city opened wide with a creak, and a wide street appeared in front of everyone.

"Go!" Gu Tinglin gave the order firmly, and then walked into the dark Taizhou City first.

After passing the city gate, it is Wengcheng.

The Wengcheng is like a courtyard, and Gu Tinglin and others are being trapped in it.

Gu Tinglin resisted the discomfort and continued to walk forward.

One step, two steps, three steps. After an unknown amount of time, he walked through the gate of Wengcheng and actually entered the city.

The horn on the city did not sound, and the rain of arrows did not fall on the city, and they finally walked in safely.

"Huh!" Gu Tinglin let out a long breath, and hurried forward again.

Not long after, the crowd arrived at the Taizhou government office, and a Xiao general was waiting there surrounded by the crowd.

Seeing the crowd arriving, General Xiao smiled and said, "I don't know which leader is in front of me, Zheng has been waiting here for a long time!"

"Don't dare, dare not, young general Gu Tinglin has seen the general!" Gu Tinglin hastily stepped forward and saluted.

"Ha, it's true that heroes come out of youth since ancient times, please, please come inside!" Zheng Zhilong, who was in his prime, saw Gu Tinglin so young, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Where, where, it's just nepotism!" Gu Tinglin didn't dare to be proud, and quickly said the truth.

"Ah? It turns out that he is a minister of the dragon, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Zheng Zhilong didn't know that this fellow became a general because of his younger sister who had just donated, and he also said that he was an old minister who followed Zhang Shun in the army, and couldn't help but envy him.

"Uh, it's awesome, it's awesome!" Gu Tinglin quickly said "self-effacing".

Not to mention how the two of them talked like chickens and ducks, let's say that when everyone came to the hall, the host and guest were assigned to sit down.

The worried Zheng Zhilong quickly asked: "I don't know when His Highness's army will arrive, and I don't know what kind of official His Highness is going to make me, what kind of title?"

Army?What an army!
Gu Tinglin smiled wryly to himself, and quickly responded, "His Royal Highness originally planned to confer Nan'anbo as a general and take the post of governor of the Jiangnan Navy."

"However, in this situation, how can I promise?"

"Uh..." Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then he said in a bit of embarrassment, "The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky, please tell me more kind words, general!"

As Zheng Zhilong said, he quickly sent someone to bring a tray to offer.

Gu Tinglin lifted the red cloth on it and saw that the golden light was dazzling. He Ren was a plate of golden ingots, perhaps two or three hundred taels.

"Uh, that's free!" Gu Tinglin quickly refused, "The things the general promised before are gone, but I don't know if King Lu is still there?"

"If King Lu is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to His Highness even if I have a great face!"

"I'm here!" Zheng Zhilong also knew that most of his soldiers and horses are now in the hands of Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Zhibao. If even King Lu is taken away, then he is really worthless!

"Come here, please invite Lu Jianguo!" Thinking of this, he quickly ordered.

"I invite Lu Jianguo!" As soon as Zheng Zhilong's words fell, the voices outside the door suddenly came and went.

Not long after, I heard a commotion, and sure enough, seven or eight big men walked in with one person escorted.

Gu Tinglin looked up, and saw that the man was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a dignified appearance, an extraordinary bearing, and a suit of brocade clothes, he must be some kind of "Lu Wang".

"Zheng Zhilong, Daming treats you well, but you, a despicable villain, actually betrayed your master and begged for glory, and sooner or later you will die sooner or later." When the man saw Zheng Zhilong, he opened his mouth and cursed.

"The general is so self-restraining!" Gu Tinglin couldn't help but respectfully said after hearing this, "You just let him scold you like that?"

"Ah? Isn't this going to be dedicated to His Highness? I don't dare to be self-reliant." Zheng Zhilong couldn't help explaining with a bit of embarrassment.

"That's it!" Gu Tinglin smiled slightly when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said, "I have a way to ensure that he doesn't fight back when he is beaten or scolded, and the general is clean!"

"Oh? What's the solution?" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but wonder.

"Look, general!" Gu Tinglin stood up with a smile when he heard the words, walked slowly for two steps, and came to Zhu Yihai's side.

"You dog thief, even if you cut my tongue, I won't give in!" Zhu Yihai didn't know what he was up to, so he couldn't help but say bravely.

"I'm sorry!" Unexpectedly, Gu Tinglin gave a sorry look, and then pulled out the waist knife with a "click".

"General, don't do it." Zheng Zhilong was taken aback, and immediately wanted to stop it.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Just when everyone was about to see how he would act, suddenly there was a flash of the knife, and a huge head flew up.

The hot blood was like a fountain, spraying everywhere with a "puchi".

"Ah!" It wasn't until the head fell to the ground with a "pop" and then rolled twice, that everyone screamed out.

"General. General, what are you?" Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment, completely unable to understand how this kind of thing happened.

Gu Tinglin didn't wipe the blood stains on his face, but first played a beautiful flower to shake the blood off the knife, and then Shi Shiran put the knife into its sheath and said: "King Lu is dead, the general can hold his The two brothers and congzi are the first to be recruited, and now the whole family can reunite!"

"Uh..." Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly bowed, "The general is really a heavenly man!"

"Sure enough, extraordinary people do extraordinary things, but Zheng is convinced!"

It turns out that in the southeast coast, the remnant forces are all headed by King Zhu Yihai of Lu. Now that Zhu Yihai is dead, Zheng's navy has no leader. They either follow Zheng Zhilong and join the rebel army, or they can only go far away to Guangzhou and seek refuge with Guiwang Zhu Changying, who was welcomed by Zhang Jingxin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. There is no other choice.

Even though Gu Tinglin was not born as a general, he has read a lot of poetry and books, and he is precocious about what happened to Ban Dingyuan back then.

So when he found that Zheng Zhilong was unprepared and was still thinking about making a deal with Lu Wang Zhu Yihai, he became murderous.

One completely cut off Zheng Zhilong's escape route and made him wholeheartedly join the rebel army.

The second is to cut off the missing of the other Zheng brothers and force them to make a clear choice between Zhang Shun who is right in front of them and King Gui who is far away in the sky.
