Yun Chang smiled and looked at Li Mu: "Looking at General Li's appearance, he should have not rested all day, aren't you tired?"
Li Mu shook his head: "It's just wandering around in the mountains, can you still be tired from fighting? And I probably already understand the situation in the mountains clearly, so I don't take my mother to places that don't make much sense. It should only take an hour or two to get down."
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly: "Sure, I'm really in a hurry. After I understand the situation here and make arrangements, I still have something to go to other places."
"Your Majesty is going back to the palace?" Li Mu nodded, "That's right, it seems that Your Majesty has been away from the palace for a while, and His Majesty may miss you."
It had been a while since Li Mu had left, and he didn't know much about the situation in the palace, he only subconsciously felt that Yun Shang should be missing home.
Yun Shang didn't explain too much, the less people she knew about her going to the Wu Clan, the better, so she acquiesced: "Let's go, let's take a look, I'm really curious, what exactly is Xia Houjing in this mountain?" Something came out."
Li Mu nodded and walked in front: "When I received the order from the empress to blow up this mountain, I was still a little hesitant. After all, this place is also the dragon vein of our Xia Kingdom. The dragon vein is damaged. I'm afraid it will cause quite a stir. But after the explosion, I realized that this explosion was really worth it!"
Yun Shang laughed: "Because there are mines?"
"Yes." Li Mu nodded: "The mines in this mountain are much richer than I expected. If these iron mines are mined and made into weapons, they can almost be used by an army of 100,000 people."
"It's just that I'm still a little worried. After all, it's on the dragon's veins..."
Yun Chang pursed her lips: "There is no need to worry about this. General Li may not know. There are rumors outside that the people who bombed the mountain were rebels. It was also because there were mineral deposits in the mountain that the rebels took the risk and blew up the mountain. gone."
Li Mu paused, turned to look at Yunshang: "Your Majesty means..."
"What I mean by this palace is..." The corners of Yunshang's mouth twitched slightly: "This mountain was bombed by the rebels, and it has nothing to do with us. After all, this An Yongzhuang is in Wu'an Prefecture. The territory of the army. The rebels have already rebelled, which is already a heinous crime, and it is not too much to bear another charge of blowing up our Xia Kingdom's dragon veins."
Li Mu's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, what the empress said is true, then the last general will order everyone in the navy to keep their mouths shut. If anyone leaks out, they will be killed."
"I have already dispatched the secret guards to mobilize the nearby soldiers and horses. When the time comes, soldiers and horses will come to encircle the mountain, in the name of defending the dragon veins of the Xia Kingdom and eliminating the rebels."
"When the time comes, when the soldiers and horses are besieging the mountain, you come down from the mountain again, tell the soldiers your identities, and say that you have received orders from His Majesty to train troops nearby, and when you hear the news that the rebels have damaged the Dragon Veins of our Xia Kingdom, you will be very angry. Dang even came to decide to fight the rebels to the death, and drove the rebels out."
Li Mu laughed loudly: "Gao, the empress's move is really high."
"At that time, the rebels have taken the blame for us, but it is hard to argue. After all, they are the ones who started the rebellion, and this An Yongzhuang is also their territory. Even if they say they didn't blow it up, no one will believe it. .”
Li Mu took Yunshang to the entrance of a cave. The cave was covered by several big trees, and the entrance of the cave could hardly be seen. Li Mu led them through the middle of the big trees and entered the cave.
A torch has been lit in the cave: "The front part of the cave should be formed naturally, and there are no traces of man-made chisels inside. The rear part should have been dug in by the rebels. Judging from the traces on the wall, the cave was It took about two years to dig it out."
Yun Chang nodded. Two years later, almost after Xia Houjing's defeat at Liu Cang's side, the preparations began.
It's hard for them to find such a place. I'm afraid it took a lot of time and effort to explore the terrain in the early stage.
The entrance of the cave should be just a place where the rebels let the guards fly. There are not many things, and the ground and walls are relatively clean.
Walking inside, various traces began to appear.
When the rebels were about to leave, they could destroy the mound of soil, and the deep, shallow, long and short marks on the wall seemed to be caused by weapons during military training.
There are some pieces of wood scattered on the ground, which may be left behind by placing weapons or building fortifications. Going further inside, there are some hay on the ground, which should be a place for the rebels to rest and sleep.
Li Mu's voice seemed a little hollow in the cave: "We have checked these places carefully, and found nothing useful, only..."
Li Mu took out a ball of fabric from his sleeve and handed it to Yunshang: "This is where they rested. They found it out of the dry grass. It looks like a sachet or something. It's just broken, so put it away It was in the hay, and I probably forgot it when I left."
Yunshang took it over, glanced at the pattern on it, and said without moving, "Things from Yelang Kingdom."
Li Mu was a little surprised: "Your Majesty recognizes it?"
"I know it." Yun Shang smiled: "Why don't you recognize it? After all, I have also fought Yelang Kingdom several times, and the pattern embroidered on it represents the identity of the people of Yelang Kingdom, and it is a wolf."
"Yelang Guosu calls himself a lone wolf of the grassland, and regards wolves as his lifelong faith."
Li Mu nodded: "Your Majesty knows that there are people from the Yelang Kingdom among these rebels?"
"I know." Yun Shang nodded: "I sent secret guards to inquire about the news before, and I knew early on that Xia Houjing colluded with the Yelang Kingdom, and they even created such a place to join hands with the Yelang Kingdom. The two sides share information and fortifications so that they can attack us together."
Li Mu couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Those things that eat inside and out! In the past so long, the Yelang Kingdom has fought against us many times, and many people in our Xia Kingdom have been destroyed and displaced, but they have colluded with the Yelang Kingdom. .”
"For them, there is no permanent enemy in this world. As long as they can win, as long as their goals are the same as theirs, they are friends."
Yun Chang's mentality is already very peaceful.
Li Mu angrily put the thing back into his sleeve before continuing to walk forward: "Most of the things in here are taken away, destroyed and destroyed, and there are not many useful things. , is the place where they refine weapons and build fortifications, I don’t let anyone touch the things over there, I think the empress should be able to find some clues from it, so I will take the empress there.”
