Wang Luoshen has been restless these days, and there is an impulse in his heart that he can no longer suppress.
It's hard to figure out what Lin Ye is doing now, but his goals are just that.
What’s hard to figure out is that depending on Lin Ye’s goals, the strategies to deal with them will naturally be different.
If Lin Ye wanted to avenge Liu Jigong, it would be one strategy to deal with it. If Lin Ye was just showing off his strength, then it would be another strategy to deal with it.
Li Ci looked at Wang Luoshen sitting there in a daze, and he did not dare to talk nonsense.
In fact, Li Ci has been equally uneasy these past few days.
Especially after seeing how ruthless Lin Ye acted, his uneasiness became even more serious.
"Master, do you want... my subordinates to go see Lin Ye?"
Li Ci asked this sentence again.
He had asked once not long ago, but was rejected by Wang Luoshen.
At this time, he asked again, could Wang Luoshen still understand Li Ci's uneasiness?
"I told you, you don't have to go see Lin Ye."
Wang Luoshen said: "At this time, Lin Ye is probably deliberately confusing us. As long as we can't calm down, he can find greater opportunities."
He looked back at Li Ci and said, "There is something I haven't mentioned to anyone until now, so I might as well tell you now."
Li Ci quickly stood upright.
Wang Luoshen said: "I have two key cards in my hand, one is in Shangyang Palace, and the other is in another place. When necessary, the other card can change the situation."
He said seriously: "What I mean by changing the situation is... seizing the city."
Li Ci was shocked.
Apart from Gao Qisheng, the general of the Forbidden Army, who else could make Wang Luoshen change the situation and capture Geling City in an instant?
Seeing the change in Li Ci's expression, Wang Luoshen smiled slightly.
"My Wang family has been operating in Geling City for so many years, and it is still flourishing under the pressure of the emperor. Naturally, there are some methods that cannot be known to outsiders."
Wang Luoshen said: "You just have to work steadily. When necessary, as long as the emperor is not in Geling City, I can take this city if I want."
Li Ci felt a little more confident.
He thought that General Gao Qisheng was probably already a member of the Wang family.
It is even possible that Gao Qisheng is a descendant of the Wang family, but he just changed his name and was arranged to become an official by the Wang family.
After all, the Wang family has done this kind of thing all the time. Are there still fewer officials who are not named Wang but are from the Wang family?
As long as Gao Qisheng is on Wang Luoshen's side, seizing the city will be easy.
The most powerful force in Geling City now is the 80,000 forbidden troops.
The Yulin Army in Zhenyuan Palace, also known as the Yulin Guards, is strong enough.
But most of them were taken away by the emperor, and now there are only about 3,000 imperial guards left in Zhenyuan Palace.
Even if these three thousand people were able to fight, they could only barely hold on to Zhenyuan Palace.
As for wanting to control the whole city, that is nothing more than a foolish dream.
As long as the 80,000 forbidden troops seal off Geling City, it only takes two days for Geling City to completely change its owner.
Moreover, Li Ci knew that Wang Luoshen also hid five thousand undead troops.
Those five thousand people were more like devils than an army.
Even if they fight against the most elite Imperial Guards in the city, if five thousand men fight against five thousand men, the winner will definitely be the Undead Army.
Li Ci knew very well how the undead army was trained.
Those people have been trained not to look like humans anymore, but just a group of killing machines.
Seeing that Wang Luoshen was so confident, Li Ci felt more at ease.
"Master, then...what are you doing now?"
Wang Luoshen said: "I told you to keep an eye on Lin Ye before, but now you are still doing this. Let him do whatever he wants. Just watch."
"yes."
Li Ci leaned over and agreed.
After coming out of Shiqiao Villa, Li Ci took several deep breaths.
Wang Luoshen gave him reassurance because he was indeed important enough.
If it were someone else, Wang Luoshen wouldn't bother to pay attention.
The half a tael of money that Li Ci held in his hand would be of great use in the future. When the day came that he had to rebel, the half a tael of money would go out and kill all the officials who were at odds with Wang Luoshen in one night, and the situation in Geling City would be easier to control.
.
Because of this, Wang Luoshen revealed some secrets to Li Ci.
Li Ci kept thinking about it on the way back, when was Gao Qisheng bribed and controlled by Wang Luoshen?
He was confused because not long ago, Gao Qisheng made it clear that he was on Lin Ye's side.
When Lin Ye went to arrest people outside Zhenyuan Palace, the Forbidden Army blocked it.
Although the common people have heard about it now, public opinion has been controlled by Lin Ye, so Lin Ye has nothing to fear.
People now say that a general who dares to touch even the nobles in the palace is truly selfless and a true hero.
So Li Ci now speculates that Gao Qisheng clearly sided with Lin Ye, and maybe Wang Luoshen ordered it.
Send Lin Ye a boost. At the critical moment, this boost can stab Lin Ye in the back.
Sitting on the carriage, Li Ci recalled what Wang Luoshen had said before.
Wang Luoshen said that the undead army would last two hours before it was dispatched.
If you think so, then Gao Qisheng doesn't look like Wang Luoshen.
Because Wang Luoshen's plan is to use the undead army to block the counterattack of the 80,000 forbidden troops and hold on for two hours. With these two hours, Wang Luoshen's men outside the city can rush in.
That's what he said, but Li Ci still doesn't know who Wang Luoshen has outside the city.
The closest camp to Geling City is the Nushan Camp. The soldiers and horses in that camp are the cowardly troops, Lin Ye's team, and it is impossible for Wang Luoshen to mobilize them.
There are too many secrets hidden in Wang Luoshen.
He never completely trusts anyone. All his secrets are controlled separately and those who hold these secrets are not allowed to connect with each other.
Li Ci was in charge of half a liang of money, and the undead army was also related to Li Ci. He was important enough, but he still didn't know where the army outside the city that Wang Luoshen mentioned came from.
Puzzling over the explanation, Li Ci stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, now he is firmly tied to Wang Luoshen's boat. No matter what storms and waves he encounters, he cannot come down early. He can only accompany Wang Luoshen to deal with the storms and waves.
But judging from the tone of Wang Luoshen's words today, Wang Luoshen is indeed confident.
At the same time, the office.
Xumi Pianruo looked at Ning Weimo and asked, "What is Wang Luoshen's confidence? If he has no confidence, why is he so calm now?"
Ning Weimo said: "If I knew what Wang Luoshen's confidence was, I wouldn't be uneasy."
He looked at Xumi Pianruo: "Don't you think that even His Majesty may not know what Wang Luoshen's confidence is?"
Xumi Pianruo didn't answer.
But he knew that what Ning Weimo said was probably right.
His Majesty arranged for Lin Ye to be the sinner, wasn't the purpose of using Lin Ye to bring out Wang Luoshen's confidence?
Only a reckless person like Lin Ye who did reckless things in Geling City could force the wily Wang Luoshen to spend all his resources to deal with it.
"If you want to force out Wang Luoshen's confidence..."
Second Assistant Yao Xinyuan lowered his voice and said: "Is it...think of a way to bring in General Lin Ye's cowardly army?"
What he said shocked Ning Weimo and the others.
Lin Ye, who only brought a thousand people into the city, dared to be so unscrupulous. If a hundred thousand cowardly troops entered Geling, who knows what Lin Ye would do.
The point is, it's not the time yet.
Wang Luoshen didn't reveal his true intentions, and Lin Ye was not sentenced to any death penalty. At this time, the cowardly army had no reason to come in and start killing.
It turned out to be there, but it was broken by Lin Ye.
The original plan was that Wang Luoshen would definitely force Lin Ye to enter Geling, and would force the service office to deal with Lin Ye.
Lin Ye was forced to panic, so he raised his troops to rebel.
When this plan was almost successful, Lin Ye became the variable.
No...it was Mr. Xin who became the variable.
It is true that it was Lin Ye who persuaded Xin Yanque to return to Geling, but if Xin Yanque didn't listen to Lin Ye's persuasion, what else could Lin Ye do to force Xin Yanque to come back?
Once this variable comes out, the rhythm changes.
Every step was unexpected and not planned.
So if a hundred thousand cowardly troops are brought in at this time, who can guarantee that Lin Ye is a fake rebel?
This is what Ning Weimo is afraid of, and what worries the ministers in the office.
Not many people knew that Lin Ye was planning to fake rebellion, but these few people played an important role.
Their words and deeds can influence many people.
Therefore, people like them must be more cautious in their words and deeds.
Ning Weimo said: "I might as well say it bluntly, who among you can guarantee that the General... will act according to His Majesty's instructions?"
He said it was straightforward, but actually he wasn't straightforward.
To put it bluntly... Lin Ye's hundreds of thousands of cowardly troops entered the city. If he really planned to rebel, who could stop him?
The 80,000 Imperial Guards may not be an opponent.
If Gao Qisheng loses and Lin Ye actually declares himself emperor after going on a killing spree in the city, then who can save the situation?
Xumi Pianruo and others fell silent. Whether they were familiar with Lin Ye or not, they didn't dare to make a guarantee.
Relatively speaking, Xumi Pianruo speaks more directly.
He said to himself: "What your Majesty wants is for someone to stand beside you when you are not in the capital, but what your Majesty wants is not to establish a new king..."
Ning Weimo nodded.
The others fell silent again.
"Let's put the matter of the cowardly army in the city aside for now."
After a long time, Ning Weimo made the decision as Prime Minister.
"As for what the general is going to do next... we won't question it for the time being, we'll just watch."
He explained a few more words, and then asked Yao Xinyuan and others to deal with other matters. After Yao Xinyuan and others left, Ning Weimo left Xumi Pianruo alone.
Xumi Pianruo asked: "Master Zaifu, do you have something important to explain?"
Ning Weimo said: "To tell you the truth, His Highness has given us a task... His Highness said that no matter what, no matter what method we use, we will find out the whereabouts of Nie Wuzhi."
"Nie Wuzhi?"
Xumi Pianruo's eyebrows raised: "Nie Wuzhi is not dead?"
Ning Weimo said: "What your Highness means is that if you don't see the dead body but don't see it, that means you are not dead. If your opponent wants to create chaos, will you not let Nie Wuzhi's body be seen?"
Xumi Pianruo nodded: "This is indeed reasonable. They just want to cause chaos in Geling City and Shangyang Palace. So if they really kill Nie Wuzhi, they don't dare to hide it so that no one can see it.
."
Ning Weimo sighed: "I'm really not good at finding people and investigating cases, so I can only leave it to Master Xumi."
Xumi Pianruo said: "You can leave it to me, but...I am always focused on doing things. If I do this thing, then other things..."
Ning Weimo, the old fox, looked at Xumi Pianruo, the old fox, with his unique eyes.
He snorted and said, "I still don't know what you think? You've already thought about it and you've avoided it. I'll tell you about Nie Wuzhi. You may seem embarrassed, but in fact you're happy."
Xumi Pianruo smiled and said: "It's all thanks to Master Zaifu's teachings. I haven't learned all my skills from Master Zaifu."
He cupped his fists and said, "Well, I won't be coming to the office these days."
After saying this, he turned around and walked away without giving Ning Weimo a chance to speak.
Ning Weimo sighed and said: "If I knew how to investigate the case, it would be your turn... Who doesn't want to hide, unless he is a big fool."
