For the sake of Miss Liu Er's precious apprentice, Li Yi sent people to the Wu Kingdom to inquire about the news a long time ago. During this period, news came one after another. They were from Yang Liuqing's forces loyal to the late emperor and the current imperial court of the Wu Kingdom.
The stalemate situation cannot be said to be good or bad...
However, looking at Lao Fang's current expression, I'm afraid something bad will happen.
Li Yi took a piece of letterhead from his hand, opened it, and looked at it.
It said that the Wu Kingdom secretly recruited several rebel forces and launched a massive siege half a month ago on Princess Duanrong, who had defected and raised a flag to rebel.
In that battle, the Wu Kingdom's court was completely victorious, and Princess Duanrong's side was severely defeated. All the cities they had captured were recaptured by the court. As for Princess Duanrong... her whereabouts are still unknown.
Missing means that the Wu Kingdom's court has not found her yet, which is a blessing in misfortune.
Li Yi looked at Lao Fang and asked, "Does Ruyi know about this?"
Ruyi is not in the village. She came back a few days ago and is probably still busy conquering other forces in the chaotic land.
Lao Fang nodded and said, "I've already sent someone the news. You should know about it soon."
Li Yi rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly: "Go find her, immediately!"
Although Miss Liu Er has become much gentler now and will not fight back even when spanked, which is completely different from her before, there are other things in her temperament that will not change easily.
Back then, she was able to be alone and search for her brother-in-law for thousands of miles. He traveled through most of Jingguo, chased her from Kyoto to Shuzhou, and then fled from Shuzhou to Qiguo. She rescued him from the hands of the Taoist nun and learned about Yang Liuqing's life and death.
After not knowing the news, she might run from the land of chaos to Wu Kingdom to look for her only disciple.
If Ruyi and he were not around, no one could stop her.
Li Yi has no objection to Ruyi looking for Yang Liuqing. After all, after spending so long together, she has already become half of the Li family. Just by her calling "Master", Li Yi will not watch anything happen to her.
And sit back and ignore it.
Neither he nor Ruyi blamed her for leaving without saying goodbye. She was burdened with too many things, the hatred of the country and the family. Carrying forward with such a heavy burden did not bend her back. It can only be said that Ruyi had an incredible disciple, and he had
An incredible nephew.
But you can't do anything based on impulse or passion. No matter how many masters Liu Meng has and how good their weapons are, they can't compete with a country. Therefore, when Ruyi is impulsive, he needs to stop her in time and consider the long term.
.
After greeting Ruyi and the others, Li Yi set off immediately with Lao Fang and Xu Lao.
There was no need to bring too many people. The elites and core disciples of the alliance were all by Ruyi's side. Lao Fang was there to watch the fun, and Lao Xu was following him to deal with various unexpected situations.
I just hope that Miss Liu Er will not be impulsive when they arrive.
…
Wu Kingdom.
Imperial Capital.
A eunuch gently knocked on the door of a gorgeous palace and pushed in.
Inside the palace, both sides were lined with bookshelves. The bookshelves were densely packed with books. Directly in front of the palace was a desk, and behind the desk, a figure sat.
The eunuch bowed to the end and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, those rebel bandits who were seeking peace have arrived in the imperial capital. General Cheng asked his servants to ask your Majesty what should be done with them?"
The figure behind the desk put down the book in his hand and said: "Since he is a rebel, General Cheng should know how to deal with it. Don't ask me about such a trivial matter."
"Yes..., I will go and reply as a general now. I will take my leave." The eunuch bowed again and turned to leave.
"Is there any news about Qing'er and Fu'er?" Before he walked out of the palace door, the figure behind the desk spoke again.
The eunuch turned around and bowed again: "Your Majesty, General Cheng said that this time we will be able to defeat these two traitors..."
"shut up!"
Suddenly, a scolding voice came from the hall. Looking at the figure standing up behind the desk, the eunuch's face immediately turned pale, he knelt down and said urgently: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life..."
"Although they have gone astray, they are the princess and prince of our country after all. How can you, a slave, impose the word traitor on you?" A thin young man walked over from the front, his narrow eyes looking at
The eunuch glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Go and receive the punishment yourself, don't do it next time..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" The eunuch kowtowed hurriedly.
"Get up." The thin young man waved his hand and asked, "Is there any news about them?"
After the eunuch stood up, he immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, General Cheng said that the traces of Princess Duanrong and His Highness Prince Jing have been discovered, and they can be brought back in a month at most..."
"Tell him that he must not hurt them and bring Qing'er and Fu'er back to me properly. If he hurts a hair on their head, I will only ask him!"
"Yes, I will definitely bring your Majesty's words to General Cheng!"
The thin young man waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go down..."
After the eunuch left, he held one hand behind his back. When he turned around, he realized that there was someone else in the palace.
This is an old man with white hair and beard, sitting where he was just now.
This is the imperial study room, where only the emperor can sit.
However, the young man was not angry or annoyed. Instead, he walked forward slowly and asked with a smile: "Uncle Emperor, why are you free to come here today?"
The old man looked up at him, with a hint of disappointment in his turbid eyes, and said: "The three of you have my royal blood flowing in your body. You have already committed too many crimes on your hands, so just let them go."
Two children, they can't threaten your throne. What you should do is to wipe out those rebellious forces and restore peace to the world as soon as possible..."
The young man was startled, and then he sighed and said: "The emperor's uncle still doesn't believe me. At first, my father and the emperor were jealous, and the emperor's brother was jealous. I retreated again and again, and then retreated again and again. Later..., then I really retreated without a trace.
But if I retreat, if I don't protect myself, I won't be able to stand here and talk to the emperor's uncle now."
"How do you expect me to believe that?" The old man stood up, looked at him, and asked: "I just traveled for half a year. After returning to the imperial capital, you killed your brother, your father, and forced your mother to death.
Half of the officials in the hall died, another half fled, the border troops rebelled, and three states rebelled... How can I trust you?"
"What happened back then, whether it was right or wrong, whether the imperial uncle wants to believe it or not, I don't want to mention it anymore."
The young man turned around and walked to the palace and said: "Now our Wu Kingdom is in a quagmire. The two kings of Qi Kingdom are fighting for power. However, Jing Kingdom is developing rapidly and overwhelming other countries... I will put an end to the chaos in Wu Kingdom as soon as possible. I also hope that the emperor's uncle will take action."
The overall situation is the most important thing, and the Wu Kingdom is considered..."
"If I didn't think about the Wu Kingdom, I would have killed you long ago!" The old man walked past him and said calmly: "I don't care about counterinsurgency matters, and I don't want to pursue the past matters...
, I only want to warn you, don’t attack those two children again, and don’t force me to do it..."
His last words still echoed in the young man's ears, but he had disappeared.
"Suppress the rebels and restore peace to the world... But what if they are rebels and traitors?" The young man looked at the door and murmured in a low voice, "Warn me? I am the emperor, why should you warn me?
Can anyone warn me..."
A hint of lunar color appeared on his face, the fists in his sleeves were clenched, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh.
