For the sake of Miss Liu Er's precious apprentice, Li Yi sent people to Wu Kingdom to inquire about the news a long time ago. The stalemate is neither good nor bad...
However, judging by Lao Fang's expression now, I'm afraid nothing good will happen.
Li Yi took a piece of letter paper from his hand, opened it, and cast his gaze on it.
It said that the imperial court of the Wu Kingdom secretly recruited several rebel forces, and half a month ago, they besieged Princess Duanrong who had raised the flag to rebel after defecting.
In that battle, the court of the Wu kingdom won a complete victory, and Princess Duanrong was defeated. The imperial court took back all the cities that had been captured. As for Princess Duanrong..., she is still missing.
Missing her whereabouts means that the court of Wu Kingdom has not found her yet, and this is luck among misfortunes.
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 she should still be busy conquering other forces in the chaotic land.
Lao Fang nodded and said, "I've sent someone to send a message, and I should know soon."
Li Yi rubbed the center of his brows, and said helplessly, "Go find her, immediately!"
Although Miss Liu Er has become a lot more gentle now, even if she is spanked, she will not fight back, she is completely different from her before, but there are other things in her temperament that will not change easily.
At that time, she was able to travel thousands of miles alone, her brother-in-law, through most of Jingguo, from Kyoto to Shuzhou, and from Shuzhou to Qiguo, rescued him from the Taoist nun, and learned that Yang Liuqing was alive or dead. After hearing the news, it is possible to run from the chaotic land to Wu Kingdom to find her only apprentice.
If Ruyi and him are not around, no one can stop her.
Li Yi has no objection to Ruyi looking for Yang Liuqing. After all, she has been part of the Li family for so long. Just relying on her calling "Uncle Master", Li Yi will not just watch her have an accident. And sit idly by.
Neither he nor Ruyi blamed her for leaving without saying goodbye. She was carrying too many things on her body, the hatred of the country and the family. A great nephew.
But to do anything, you can't just rely on impulse or enthusiasm. No matter how many masters and weapons the Liumeng has, no matter how good the weapons are, there is no way to compete with a country. Therefore, he needs to stop Ruyi in time when she is impulsive, and make a long-term plan. .
After greeting Ruyi and the others, Li Yi, Lao Fang and Xu Lao set off immediately.
There is no need to bring too many people, the elites and core disciples in the league are all by Ruyi's side, Lao Fang is here to watch the fun, and Xu Lao follows to deal with various unexpected situations.
I only hope that when they arrive, Miss Liu Er has not come in a hurry.
…
Wu country.
imperial capital.
An eunuch gently knocked on the door of a certain magnificent palace, pushed the door open and entered.
Inside the palace, there are bookshelves on both sides. The bookshelves are densely packed with books. There is a table in front of it, and a figure is sitting behind the table.
The eunuch bowed to the end, and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, those rebels who recruited peace have arrived at the imperial capital. General Cheng asked the servants to ask His Majesty, how should we deal with them?"
The figure behind the table 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 trivial matters."
"Yes... I will go back to become a general now, and I will leave." The eunuch bowed again, turning around and leaving.
"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, bowed again and said: "Return to Your Majesty, General Cheng said that this time, these two traitors will definitely be able to..."
"shut up!"
Suddenly there was a voice of scolding in the hall, looking at the figure standing up behind the table, the eunuch's face immediately turned pale, he knelt down on the ground, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
"Although they have gone astray, in the end they are the princess and prince of our country of Wu, and the word "rebel" can only be imposed by you alone as a slave?" The eunuch glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Go and receive the punishment yourself, it's not an example..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed.
"Get up." The thin young man waved his hand and asked, "Any news about them?"
After the eunuch stood up, he immediately said: "Go back to Your Majesty, General Cheng said that he has found the traces of Princess Duan Rong and His Highness Prince Jing, at most one month, one month will bring them back..."
"Tell him, you must not hurt them, and bring Qing'er and Fu'er back to me properly. If you hurt a hair of them, I will only ask him!"
"Yes, this servant 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 turned around with one hand behind his back, only to find that there was already an extra person in the hall.
This is an old man with white hair and beard, who is sitting in the position where he was sitting just now.
This is the imperial study room, which is a seat only the emperor can sit in.
However, the young man was not angry or annoyed, but walked forward slowly, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Huang, why are you free to come here today?"
The old man looked up at him, with a look of disappointment in his cloudy eyes, and said: "The three of you have my royal blood, and you have done too much murder, 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, then sighed, and said: "Uncle Huang still doesn't believe me. Back then, my father was suspicious, and my brother was jealous. I retreated again and again, and then..., and then I really had no choice but to retreat." Retired, if I didn't protect myself, I wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to my uncle now."
"How do you make me believe it?" The old man stood up, looked at him, and asked: "The old man just traveled abroad for half a year. After returning to the imperial capital, you killed your brother and father, and forced your mother to death. Half of the officials in the hall died, and half of them ran away, the frontier army rebelled, and three other states rebelled... How can you make me believe you?"
"What happened back then, whether it was right or wrong, no matter whether Uncle Huang is willing to believe it or not, I don't want to mention it again."
The young man turned and walked into the hall, and said: "Now our country of Wu is in a deep quagmire, and the two kings of Qi are fighting for power, but Jing is developing rapidly and overwhelming other countries... The chaos in Wu, I will put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and I hope that the emperor will take care of the overall situation For the sake of Wu Guo..."
"If this old man didn't think about the Wu Kingdom, he would have killed you long ago!" The old man walked past him and said indifferently: "I don't care about the counter-insurgency, and I don't want to pursue the past... The old man just warns you, don't do anything to those two children again, and don't force the old man to do it... "
His last words were still echoing in the ears of the young man, but he had disappeared.
"Suppress the rebels, and restore peace to the world... But what if they are rebels?" The young man looked outside the door and murmured, "Warning me? I'm the emperor, why should I warn me? Who can warn me..."
A hint of the lunar calendar appeared on his face, his fists tucked into his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his nails dug deep into his flesh.
