He was anxious to take back his military power, but God didn't like it?
How long can we wait? The Emperor's Liquid is coming soon.
"There's no news from Yu Wenyong?"
"There is no message from General Yuwen."
King Yao paced in the study for a long time, thinking over and over again. Yes, if something happened to Wang Sili on the road, how would Yu Wenyong, who was guarding Northern Xinjiang, know about it?
"The night after tomorrow!" King Yao made the final decision, "Immediately send the fastest bird demon to fly to Yu Wenyong. If Wang Sili can't arrive at the northern camp before the evening, let him find a way to capture the heavy weapon!"
It is very dangerous to force him so hard. Chongwu is also a general in the town, and he has made no mistakes on the surface. Yu Wenyong does not have King Yao's talisman document and wants to take him forcefully. It is neither reasonable nor easy.
What if you use trickery and assassination? Chongwu himself is very powerful. Once he fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
But King Yao couldn't care anymore and chose the lesser of two evils.
At this time, he was a little annoyed. If he could withstand Qingyang's pressure and not give this important position to Chongwu, how could he have been in trouble today?
"Yes." Qiu Long paused and was about to go down when he suddenly remembered something, "My king, before receiving this flying news, Zhao Song also just submitted the news."
King Yao asked casually: "How do you say it?"
Every few days, Zhao Song reports on the current situation of He Lingchuan, even though the Tianshui eastward expansion project has been stopped.
"A lot of people have been missing from Yongquan Villa recently. Zhao Song asked his palace guards to keep an eye on them. Some people who admired good people left the village and never came back."
There are fewer people in Yongquan Villa? King Yao frowned: "Since there is something strange, why did you come to report it today?"
"Zhao Song said that these people were coming and going, and they didn't attract anyone's attention whether they were leaving or staying. It was his palace guards who were flirting with a maid at Yongquan Villa, and they were secretly communicating with each other. The maid was returned to him the night before.
He sent a plate of fruit and agreed to meet behind the wine cellar the next afternoon. However, he did not come to keep the appointment the next day and never showed up again. After Zhao Song heard about it, he observed carefully and found that there were fewer and fewer benefactors in the winery.
There are more and more local people. Before you know it, those servants have been replaced."
"Trash, others are almost gone under his nose, and he just came to report now?" King Yao coughed, his voice was phlegmous, Qiu Long quickly handed him the spittoon, but he stopped talking.
King Yao coughed for a while before exhaling: "What do you want to say?"
Qiu Long hesitated before saying: "Qingyang Supervisor said the day before yesterday that there are not many people left in the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce in Tianshui City."
He didn't dare to repeat Qingyang's next few words:
You followed He Xiaoyan's advice, but this person is really not a good person. He quietly moved all the assets and personnel out of Yao Kingdom. It's ridiculous that the civil and military officials of the entire court were kept in the dark.
If you want to use him, why wouldn't he use you as a gun?
At that time, King Yao scoffed, but now that he thinks about it, there is actually two truths to what she said.
"Send someone to Yangshan Chamber of Commerce to check."
Qiu Long agreed and was about to go out to deliver the message when King Yao suddenly waved his hand to tell him to stop and concentrate on his thoughts.
Seeing that his brows were about to become knotted, Qiu Long knew that what was causing the king so much worry must be something serious.
King Yao was sneering in his heart. It turned out that He Xiao wanted to run away and had been quietly moving people out.
Right, this is the nature of businessmen to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!
He had sworn a while ago that he would never leave, but luckily King Yao didn't believe it!
Do you expect this person to carry out the Tianshui East Expansion Project from beginning to end? Haha!
"Let Zhao Song lead people to check out Yongquan Villa. Since He Xiao is determined to escape, he will probably use some means." Otherwise, how could he escape from the eyes of hundreds of palace guards? "Look at him. Have you dug tunnels and made formations?"
"Your Majesty, He Xiao will definitely not be able to find his way out of your palm!"
King Yao hummed and thought for a long time before he seemed to make up his mind:
"There is one thing you need to plan in advance——"
"——Before the emperor's fluid erupts, call both Qingyang and He Xiao into the palace."
Since Qingyang intends to take advantage of the explosion of the Emperor's fluid to plot evil, he will strike first!
Qiu Long agreed and asked again: "Where do you want to place He Xiao?"
"Of course it's Yuquan Palace."
Qiu Long's thoughts flashed through his mind. Before the emperor's fluid erupted, Qingyang, He Xiao, Yuquan Palace...?
Putting all these together, what is the king's plan?
King Yao's smile was somewhat sinister: "These enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Who can say for sure what will happen?"
Qiu Long followed him for too long and suddenly realized: "Yes! My king, my king is wise! That He Xiao is so bold and he is not from Yao. No one knows why he hates Qingyang Supervisor so much that he actually Dare to take the risk!"
But he was still secretly surprised.
He Xiao is the real progress controller of the Tianshui East Expansion Project. Before it was temporarily suspended, the construction of the new city was indeed on the right track. The king was willing to push this person out, regardless of the possibility that a large project worth tens of millions of taels would be affected!
To give up, this is to give up with pain.
It seems that the king has judged that the current crisis is imminent and has to sacrifice all the most useful chess pieces!
…
It's late at night.
Yongquan Villa, located on the outskirts of the city, has a tranquility that is unmatched by Tianshui City. Not even the refugees came to cause trouble that night, only the woods shook their heads in the evening breeze.
The whole villa seemed to be immersed in sleep. The night owl came from nowhere and opened its voice: "Woo-gu - Wu-gu -"
It looks even more miserable.
There were so many people in the villa, but Dong Rui originally lived in a cave on a low hill. Both the hill and the cave were natural. There was a stream in front of the mountain and a large pond behind the mountain.
The previous owner used this cave as a wine cellar, and He Lingchuan specially widened and reinforced it to serve as Dong Rui's laboratory and residence.
When Dong Rui was still in the villa, the cave door was closed every day, and no one knew what he was doing inside. Even if the palace guards were curious, they could not force their way in to investigate.
After all, the owner of the village is He Lingchuan, so he has the final say here.
Dong Rui has fled, but he said to the outside world that he was out on business and would return soon. So during his absence, the cave dwelling was temporarily closed, and General Tie was guarding the door.
There was no one there in the middle of the night, not even the fish in the pond were floating.
There is nothing to guard in a dilapidated cave dwelling. Neither the palace guards nor Yangshan guards usually approach the cave.
When dark clouds covered the moonlight, a dark figure hunched its back and crouched, quickly rushed to the door of the cave, lowered its head and went to pick the lock.
Unexpectedly, this brass lock had no keyhole at all. The black shadow turned over and over, but could not find the place to insert the tool.
Grandma, how did you hang this lock?
Naturally, he didn't know that this was a piece of junk that Dong Rui picked up from the Ghost King's Underground Palace. Songyang Mansion could repair it and use it. There is no other use for this thing, that is, only the owner can touch it, and others will refuse to use it, so
No keyhole required.
But the black shadow was not troubled. Since the lock couldn't be opened, let's find a way to fix the door latch.
