"See the ancestors!"
The two eunuchs stood at the entrance of the hall, and when they saw a gray-clothed figure coming out of it, they immediately fell to their knees.
The old man walked away quickly without looking at the two eunuchs.
The two eunuchs looked at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes.
Why didn't they hear the movement in the hall just now? However, among the two people in the hall, one is His Majesty, and the other is the most respected ancestor of the royal family. A fight of this level is far beyond their ability to participate.
When the ancestor was young, he was the most prestigious prince in the Wu Kingdom. He once personally led the army and won a war that almost brought down the Wu Kingdom. After that, he quickly quelled several domestic rebellions and captured the hearts of countless people.
However, just when the hearts of the people and his courtiers returned, and he was only one step away from ascending the throne, he inexplicably pursued some illusory martial arts, left the imperial capital, and had not heard from him for twenty years.
The king at that time was already terminally ill. Before he died, he searched all over his ancestors to no avail. In desperation, he could only pass the throne to his younger brother.
More than ten years later, a powerful prince forced the palace to rebel, and the army had already reached outside the imperial capital, and it was only one step away from allowing the then king to issue an order to pass on the throne.
However, on the last day of the three-day limit given by the prince to the courtiers and the royal family, his own head was hung on the palace wall.
Overnight, more than a dozen generals who participated in the rebellion all died unexpectedly with their heads in different places.
The ancestor quelled that rebellion with his own efforts.
Since then, he has become a legend in the hearts of the people of the Wu Kingdom, as well as the nobles and courtiers. He is also the greatest glory of the royal family. It is said that he has climbed to the peak of martial arts, and his martial arts cultivation is superb.
Among the royal family, he has the highest seniority, the most respected status, and great influence. Even the emperors of all dynasties must respect him...
It's a pity that there are not many people left in the Wu Kingdom's royal family.
After His Majesty ascended the throne, blood flowed in the imperial capital, and not only the ministers who accused him of plotting to usurp the throne were uprooted, but also all the men in the clan, who were all detained by him for various reasons and killed...
Every time they think of this matter, they will feel cold all over...
The hall door was slowly pushed open, the young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, wiped off the footprints on his chest, clutched his chest, and walked out with difficulty.
The expressions of the two eunuchs changed, and they immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty..."
"Emperor Physician, quickly send the Imperial Physician!"
…
The young man waved his hand and said, "Let the head of the inner guard come to see me!"
"yes!"
The eunuch responded and left quickly.
The inner guards belonged only to the emperor. In addition to being responsible for the safety of the imperial city, they also controlled the espionage affairs of the imperial capital and even the entire Wu Kingdom. It was a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all the dignitaries.
The young man walked back to the hall, slowly walked to the top and sat down, his fists clenched tightly, his face sinking like water.
He wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Grandmaster, Grandmaster..., Uncle Huang, I am the emperor of this Wu Kingdom, you are old, very old, old enough to die..."
Not long after, an old eunuch pushed the door open, walked up to the young man, bowed and said, "What is your majesty's order?"
The young man looked at him, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is Yang Fu really dead?"
The eunuch said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, although no one has come to claim the reward, the news of King Jing's death has spread to several state capitals including Cangzhou. Everyone knows that when the time comes, even if he is not dead, it will be the same as being dead."
He cupped his hands respectfully: "Congratulations, Your Highness, once Prince Jing dies, no one will be able to threaten His Majesty in the slightest."
The young man pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "If you live, you want to see people, if you want to die, you want to see corpses, find a way to contact those secret spies..."
"Yes." The eunuch replied.
The young man looked at the eunuch and asked, "You are only one step away from being a master. You must be very familiar with martial arts. Will a master never be defeated?"
The eunuch shook his head and said: "The grand master is not a god, no matter how high his martial arts are, he is only one person, and he is no match for a thousand troops..."
"If thousands of troops can be used, do I still need to ask you?"
The official trembled for a moment, and immediately said: "Other than that, the only way to defeat the Grandmaster is the Grandmaster, using hidden weapons to poison and other means. To them, it's just a trivial skill..."
The young man clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice, "At any cost, I must help me recruit a grandmaster!"
The eunuch was startled, and said: "Your Majesty, most of the masters are weak-hearted, come and go without a trace..."
The young man looked at him and asked, "You mean, you can't do this?"
The old eunuch trembled, cupped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
The young man sat back in his seat, looked at the empty hall, and murmured: "Wu Kingdom only needs an emperor, not any ancestors..."
…
Today's chaotic place has long been built into a stable rear area by Li Yi.
After clearing out the bandits and bandits inside, the first thing to do is to roll up your sleeves and work hard, and focus on construction.
Up to now, the several hilltops around the village have all been rebuilt. There are slides down the mountain, and the road up the mountain is all cement roads. After surrounding by more than ten hilltops nearby, a city is formed.
It is called "Ruyi City".
At first Li Yi also wanted to name it after himself, but unfortunately his name was not as pleasant as Ruyi's name. The leader of the martial arts and the bandit king were Ruyi and not him, so in desperation, he had no choice but to give up.
Liumeng's headquarters has long been moved to Ruyi City, occupying a hill alone, and after mixing up the captured bandits, there are more than 20,000 people.
These people form a small team of ten people, a squadron of a hundred people, and a brigade of a thousand people, responsible for the defense of the entire chaotic place.
Several thousand-man brigades unite, in this chaotic place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with the favorable terrain and sharp weapons, even the army of Wu Kingdom can't attack.
Of course, these are the strengths of Ruyi City. Li Yi has no plan to use these people to help Yang Liuqing conquer the city. Outside, they won't be of much use.
Every summer, when the weather is the hottest, it is a good choice to come to Ruyi City to escape the heat.
Ruyi taught a few apprentices when she was all right. Drunk Mo had been idle for a long time, and she couldn't help but start designing ready-to-wear styles, including corsets and so on... This time, Li Yi had reason to appreciate and help her out. .
Ruoqing is actually the busiest. Although she has let go of her work, she has a more important mission.
If you look closer, there are countless people in Wu State who are in dire straits, waiting to bathe in the glory of the Queen of Heaven, and if you look far away, there are hundreds of thousands of lost believers in Qi State waiting for her to guide them...
One is to persuade people to do good, to do good, and the other is to persuade people to do evil and wholeheartedly rebel. It is clear at a glance which lady is real and which lady is fake...
Yang Liuqing is still staying here for the time being, because Li Yi's empress plan has not been finished yet, he has to stay here with his wife and children, so he can only write down what she has to do on paper in as much detail as possible...
Of course, bookishness is not an option, and he will not limit their actions and deeds to such a small booklet. From Cangzhou, Wuguo, to here, there is an incomparably smooth road, and the speed of information transmission is extremely fast. It can be reached in one day, anytime. Ability to develop new strategies…
Li Yi wrote part of the plan and went out to get some air.
He saw Mr. Xu leaning against a big tree, with a chicken leg in one hand and fine wine in the other, he took a bite of the chicken and drank a sip of the fine wine. It's a different kind of guru demeanor...
Especially with the melancholy and hesitation in his eyes from time to time, Li Yi can almost be sure that this is an old man with a story.
…
Wu Kingdom, the Imperial Palace.
The Emperor Wu Guo looked at an old woman in the palace, and said slowly: "As long as you help me accomplish this, I will do whatever you want!"
The old woman had white hair, but there were not many wrinkles on her face, and her body was not bent at all. She looked at the young man in front of her with an expressionless expression: "Are you the emperor?"
The young man was startled, then smiled and said, "Except for the emperor, who else dares to call me 'zhen'?"
"I can agree to your request." The old woman looked at him and said, "Before that, you need to help me find someone."
"who?"
The old woman narrowed her eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became deeper, she spoke slowly, her voice was cold, making one feel like falling into an ice cave.
"Xu Tian!"
