"The fact that you have such an idea means there is still hope for help. Well, you can contact me yourself. Once there is any news, go and wait in the alley where you were knocked unconscious today. Someone will contact you."
"Xiaoguan obeys the order." Jiang Zhen was secretly frightened. He was even more convinced that Li Mu had already been operating in the city. He was determined to quickly join the team and immediately said solemnly: "Then, I will take my leave now. As soon as there is news, I will report it immediately.
You know with the Marquis!"
Li Mu waved his hand, and someone took Jiang Zhen away.
Li Mu watched Jiang Zhen being taken away, and looked away. He sat blankly, thinking deeply for a while, sipping a bowl of hot tea in one gulp, and when his tongue and teeth were salivating, he stood up and walked out of the house slowly. He left.
Later, people moved around in the yard, and soon all the traces left by Li Mu were removed. Even the traces of splashing water miraculously disappeared.
Coming out of the house, the path is winding, and about twenty steps away is the roadside. This is considered the 'rich area' of Qizhou City. Every wealthy family has someone to look after their homes and courtyards, and looters have not dared to come over yet.
There was a tea stall nearby for people to rest. Li Mu walked over and dropped a few large coins.
The girl selling a big bowl of tea glanced at him and said eloquently: "You paid too much for your tea."
"I'll reward you more."
The tea girl showed a happy expression, and took a look at Li Mu's clothes. She decided that he was not a mortal, maybe one of our young masters, who came out to have fun. She licked her lower lip and said quickly: "Thank you, sir." She hurriedly accepted it.
A few large coins were put into the apron pocket.
Li Mu smiled and said: "What's the girl's name?"
The tea girl was even more convinced of what she was thinking, so she passed her over and replied in a tired voice: "My name is Cuilian."
Only then did Li Mu realize what the girl was up to, and he quickly distanced himself and said, "Young lady has misunderstood. I am not such a person."
Miss Alian smiled, with an "I understand" look, and said: "Nunu understands the young master's thoughts. As long as the young master gives enough money, Nunu guarantees that he will not say a word to others, and guarantees that the master will be comfortable.
."
"I really didn't mean that, I -" Li Mu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say: "I just want to find a place to live. I saw a girl selling tea here, and she is well-informed. I would like to ask the girl if there is one nearby.
The inn is available for accommodation, I want to stay.”
"Yes, you can live there Nunu. The big red flower quilt was made years ago."
"Okay, there's no way around it yet." Li Mu wanted to get up and leave, but then he thought, it would be okay to just go with this girl, it would be safer. Several enemies in the city never thought that he would go here.
Planting somewhere?
Thinking of this, Li Mu took out a five-tael silver ingot and said, "Then I'll stay at the girl's place for a few days. Please ask her to help prepare some food and drinks. If the money is not enough, let me talk to you."
"That's enough, that's enough!" Miss Alian was overjoyed when she saw the ingot. She had many patrons on this street, but not many of them came out with money. She gave a whole ingot at one time.
Yeah, I’ve never seen it before. Shouldn’t I post it up? He took Li Mu’s arm and said, “Okay! There is a spare room at Nunu’s house for guests to stay!”
Li Mu knew that his explanation would be in vain, so he simply stopped explaining and said with a smile, "Why don't you just lead the way?"
"Master, don't be anxious, let Nunu close the stall first." The girl said, going to clean up, but Li Mu took another ingot, and the girl immediately changed her words: "There's nothing good about this broken plate and bowl."
Clean it up, sir, let’s go.”
Compared to five large ingots each, these tables, chairs and tea cups are nothing.
…
When Jiang Zhen was blindfolded and taken away, although he couldn't see, he felt a lot more relieved. He saw hope. Now that he had met and connected with Li Mu, once something big was accomplished, it would not only be possible
Avoiding a disaster, he can make great achievements and have a bright future. Before he came to Qizhou with Li You, he worked as a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He had seen everything about Li Mu and had seen Li Mu from a distance. Otherwise,
You won't recognize him at a glance. He knows very well Li Mu's acting style and is not worried at all that there will be no corresponding reward for the things he accomplishes.
Of course, there is still tension. He is Qizhou's military commander, and no one knows more about Qizhou's affairs than he does. He knows that although the King of Qi can not mobilize many people, if his action fails, the King of Qi will
It is more than enough for a person to take revenge on himself and his family...
"There are too few people I can use. Although I don't need too many people to attack the palace, but... I have to find a capable helper!"
General Wang's name is Wang Yue.
General is just an honorific title, and his official rank is certainly not high enough to reach the level of general. In fact, he is just a captain. However, he has at least fifteen soldiers under his command. Even if some of them are not so loyal, more than half should be reliable.
Those who work hard in the military camp will have several soldiers under them. In this way, no matter where they are transferred, there will be people available under them. The relationship between these soldiers and the generals they follow is almost as soon as they join the army.
The established relationship will never change from now on. Therefore, if someone is really disloyal and disobedient, there will be a lot of time to torture him, just like an eagle. No matter how unruly a person is, over time, he will have to bow his head and obey orders.
Jiang Zhen made up his mind and went to find Wang Yue immediately.
Jiang Zhen originally made a roundabout move to test the topic, but unexpectedly Wang Yue was more active than him. As soon as he opened his mouth, General Wang agreed.
He is a foreigner who went to Qizhou to serve as a soldier. Wang Yue is a local, and his whole family and even his entire clan are from Qizhou. Jiang Zhen, a soldier, does not directly lead troops to fight, but the captain does not.
Fang directly met with troops, and Wang Yue must go into battle.
In this way, the crime of resisting the heavenly soldiers and treason is particularly serious, at least more direct than Jiang Zhen. Once King Qi fails, not only will Wang Yue's body be dislocated, but the entire family will be implicated. He is already
When he reached a dead end, Jiang Zhen came to him and told him that he had contacted the famous Marquis of Luoyang. How could Wang Yue not be active?
"Okay! When will we take action? Wang will cooperate fully! I have at least eight people under my command, who are absolutely reliable. There are three or four martial arts practitioners among my brothers. I can call them all with just one word!"
Wang Yue was gearing up and wanted to take action right away.
Jiang Zhen quickly comforted him: "Don't be anxious. The more times like this, the more calm and cautious you have to be. Choose soldiers you absolutely trust, plus your own brothers, and make some contact first, and wait for my news."
Wang Yue said anxiously: "The house is on fire, what are you waiting for?"
"This number of people is definitely not enough. I have to continue to contact you. There is no back-up for this matter. I can only do it once. I don't dare to disappoint the Marquis. If things go wrong, you know the temper of Luoyang Marquis."
of."
"Wait until I go to Prince Qi's Mansion to inquire about it. At least I can find out the security situation in various places. Only by knowing myself and the enemy can we get twice the result with half the effort."
"Go, go, go! Go! I'll get a few of my cousins to join the army first. How many of you are missing? Tell me the number. I've gathered them all. When the Marquis asks, I'll
It’s just your share, do you think that’s okay?”
Wang Yue left in a hurry. When Jiang Zhen saw that Wang Yue was more active than him, he felt a little more at ease in his heart, so he went straight to Qi Wang's Mansion...now Da Qi Royal Palace.
In the Qi Palace, Pingnan Wang Zanjunmo, who was in charge of recruiting troops in the Linqing area, was reporting military aircraft to the Qi King: "The scouting horse came to report that there are people and horses mobilizing in the direction of Bingzhou."
King Qi was horrified and asked hurriedly: "Isn't it Li Mu who came to arrest me? Why did I get involved in Bingzhou again? How many soldiers and horses came. Did Li Ji personally lead the army?"
Zan Jun Mo said: "I haven't found out how many troops and horses came. However, there were one hundred thousand vanguards fighting with me that day, front army, rear army, left army, right army, center army, vanguard..., so on.
It is estimated that the imperial army must be at least 100,000 people..."
King Qi sat down on the painted dragon chair and farted.
"Father...it seems that he is really angry."
Pingxi Wang Yan Hongxin changed his color and said: "A hundred thousand troops? How can we have so many people? How to resist? Your Majesty, why not take the people in the city captive and let us go to Douzigang as thieves? I have visited there. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, so it is very easy to resist."
Hidden, even though the imperial army is large, there is nothing we can do for a while."
"Going into the mountains?"
Li You was really moved. He groped his jaw and seriously thought about the possibility.
At this time, a sergeant hurried in and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, outside the city..."
King Qi trembled: "But Li Ji has arrived?"
The sergeant was stunned: "Li Ji? What Li Ji?"
Yin Hongzhi quickly interrupted: "How about outside the city?"
The sergeant calmed down and said: "Someone shot a letter under the city wall and asked Your Majesty to open it in person!"
"It must be Li Mu who is causing trouble again, don't look!" Li You waved his hand and was about to push the sergeant down when Yin Hongzhi spoke and said: "Your Majesty, you should take a look. Maybe it's not Li Mu's letter, maybe it's
Where are other people's letters? Now we are in a period of employing people. There will be a lot of help but not a lot of help. If this person comes to serve, but is driven away by your majesty, if the news gets out, heroes from all over the country will not dare to come and join him again. If your majesty treats him kindly,
, then the world will follow suit, and great achievements can be expected!"
Li You always doesn't care about this kind of thing. It depends on his mood. After Yin Hongzhi said this, he casually said: "Then let's take a look - uncle can just look at it for me."
Yin Hongzhi took the letter, glanced at it, and asked the sergeant: "Where are Archery and the others now?"
The sergeant replied: "Still waiting under the city."
Yin Hongzhi said: "Put down the hanging basket and pull the person up. Remember, you must be respectful." The sergeant took the order and left. Yin Hongzhi turned to face Li You and said: "Your Majesty, please lead the 'Sifang King'
, as well as civil and military officials, all went to the city gate to greet him.
When Li You heard that his boss was displeased and was about to express his dissatisfaction, he saw Yin Hongzhi's expression. He was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Since uncle said it, let's go and pick it up.
Soon, the central gate of Prince Qi's Mansion opened wide, and His Majesty the Emperor of Qi led his four heavenly kings, as well as his uncle Yin Hongzhi, the minister, to welcome out of the "Meridian Gate" with great force.
At this time, Jiang Zhen had just entered the Meridian Gate. Old Vision saw King Qi leading his people, and hurriedly stepped aside. Seeing that he ignored him, he quietly turned back to the side compartment. He came here because he wanted to take a look.
There was movement in the palace, and he looked at the deployment of troops and horses everywhere. When he saw King Qi coming, he hid in a corner. After everyone had passed, he came out again, arrived in front of the door of King Qi's palace, and rushed in. The sergeant at the door told
He, King Qi, had just left. He only said that he would wait for King Qi to come back, and no one said anything else.
You must know that Jiang Zhen is now the Minister of the Ministry of War of Daqi. Although he has no real power, he still has an official position. He often goes in and out of the Daqi Palace and is familiar with several groups of sergeants guarding the gate.
On the way, Li You found an opportunity and asked Yin Hongzhi who was coming and why he was so proud to go out of the city to meet him.
Yin Hongzhi lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the story of the 'Qiu Bearded Guest' that I told you when you were a child?"
"Customer with beard?!" Li Youdeng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Of course I remember, and I haven't forgotten it for a moment. Why, is the person waiting for me a guest with curly beard? No wonder my uncle asked me to pick him up in person. What happened to the people under his command?
How can you be so careless when doing things?!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's not the bearded guest himself."
"Ah?" Li You suddenly felt a little wilted and complained: "If you are not a bearded guest, then why are I waiting here? I can just deal with some calves and horses casually."
Although Li You hated Li Mu, he learned Li Mu's spoken language very well.
Yin Hongzhi knew Li You's temper and patiently explained: "Although he is not the Qiu Beard Guest, he is the Qiu Beard Guest's confidant. The Qiu Bearded Guest went to sea back then and there was no news. Only recently did the news come back that he had established a great business overseas.
, is now the co-owner of seventy-two islands on the sea. The one who came today is the owner of one of the islands."
"On their island, the seasons are like spring, and rice is harvested three times a year. Not only is there food, but there are also people. Just what we need." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "If, once things fail,
By making good friends with them, we have a way out."
"Uncle is still thoughtful!" Li You's attitude made a 180-degree turn. Apparently, the last sentence moved him. He also knew in his heart that the rebellion would not succeed. Originally, he was thinking that after all, it was father and son.
, although he had made mistakes, he would not die. But now that he heard that Li Shimin had sent Li Ji, he knew that Li Shimin was really angry. He was afraid that he would die, so he thought about his retreat.
The group of people came to the city gate, and the man was also hoisted up in a hanging basket. Li You glanced at it from a distance, frowned, and leaned into Yin Hongzhi's ear and said: "Uncle, why is this man so dark and thin?
It looks so strange."
Yin Hongzhi whispered: "People in Nanyang all look like this. Your Majesty has never seen anyone like this in the mouth and teeth shop in Chang'an."
"Oh," Li You responded, and the visitor had already arrived.
"When Yang was in Nanyang, he had heard of His Majesty's virtuous name and was overjoyed to learn that His Majesty had ascended the throne, so he rushed to join us."
"Ah, so that's what happened." Li You looked stunned, but he didn't believe it in his heart - I don't have any reputation, this person is so hypocritical!
