A large number of troops have been assembled in the Shanggu Plain on the edge of the northern border, and Li Hugo is also waiting for someone he doesn't really want to wait for.
This person was none other than Hao Nanren. Not long after Hao Nanren arrived in Shanggu, he set up camp. He brought an army of 300,000 people over, and the rest stayed around the capital to prevent the enemy from feigning an attack and then sneaking into the capital.
If the capital fell, South Vietnam would basically be doomed, so he brought 300,000 troops over, which was already the maximum limit.
"Is there anything unusual about Li Yuguo these days?" Hao Nanren asked Sima Qianxun beside him.
At this time, Sima Qianxun was summoned to Hao Nanren's tent. The furnishings in the tent were very simple, including a bed, a desk, a chair, and a bookshelf.
There are some military books on the bookshelf, and at the top of the bookshelf is a long bow. This is a golden bow gifted to Hao Nanren by the late emperor. Although it is not a magic weapon, it was a gift from the late emperor, so it is A symbol of status, for Hao Nanren, it is a treasure.
Qianxun stood upright. She lowered her head and said, "There was nothing unusual. We encountered several enemy sneak attacks... But Governor Li responded accordingly and dealt with them all. The casualties of Tongming Temple's team were basically zero."
"The casualties are zero, and one of South Vietnam's most serious problems has been solved, the heartless demon... Tsk tsk, this Li Yuguo is really capable." Hao Nanren said, twirling his beard. He now understood why the emperor was so dissatisfied with Li Yuguo. Don't worry, just imagine that a young man with unknown origins is now only twenty years old, but he can hold a high position. If such a capable person is allowed to grow up, he will be so powerful and respond to every call that the emperor sits on the dragon throne. There is no stability in the world, so naturally we want to get rid of him.
"Indeed, Governor Li is like a god with his troops, and his cultivation is not weak. When dealing with the Heartless Demon, he took the overall situation into consideration and no one was fatally injured," Qianxun said.
Hao Nanren sneered, took out a pack of medicinal herbs from his sleeve, and said, "Put this pack of medicinal powder into Li Huguo's food."
Qianxun's expression changed: "Sir, are you planning to... poison Governor Li?"
"Don't worry, this is a chronic poison. It takes a month for the poison to take effect. He won't die all at once." Hao Nanren said, "This packet of powder is enough for seven days. After seven days, you can come to me and ask for a second packet. Medicinal powder is enough, this poison is colorless and odorless, and is taken from the highly venomous snakes in the Shuiyue Swamp in southern Xinjiang... There is no antidote to the poison of the Red Moon Snake."
"But... But Governor Li didn't do anything to disgrace His Majesty. On the contrary, he helped His Majesty eliminate a serious problem in his heart. He... What crime did he have?" Qianxun said, clenching his fists.
Hao Nanren gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his hand to hit Qianxun.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Qianxun fell to the ground, and a dark brown five-finger palm print appeared on his face. He shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense. You are a guilty person. Everyone knows about your relationship with His Highness, and you It was originally a dead end, but for His Majesty’s kindness, you would have been executed long ago, so you have no reason to refuse!”
"To say that Li Yuguo is guilty, it is groundless. Does the emperor need a reason to kill people?! Li Huguo is so young, but he can win people's hearts. He will definitely be a serious problem for the emperor in the future, and the emperor's plan, you, a humble person Why should a woman know? You are not qualified to know!" Hao Nanren said, "If you don't do it, those children in the capital will..."
When it comes to children, Qianxun's face turns ugly. It is true that she has no relatives, but she has adopted many children. These children are all orphans. Qianxun used the money she earned to buy a house in the suburbs. , there were more than a dozen children inside, all relying on Qianxun's salary. Qianxun did not expect that Hao Nanren, as a general, would target him in this way and use such dirty methods to force himself.
Hao Nanren said: "Go and do it..."
"Those children I adopted..." Qianxun clenched her fists and her body trembled.
Hao Nanren glanced at her: "As long as you obey your Majesty's instructions, none of those children will be fine, and your Majesty will buy them a lot of delicious food. When you are not in the capital, your Majesty will personally send someone to take care of them." .”
"Okay... okay." Qianxun burst into tears, took the powder on the ground and walked away.
On the way back to the Tongming Temple position, Hua Taisui stopped her. Hua Taisui said: "Sister, what did General Hao Nanren and Hao ask you to go over just now?"
"No, it's nothing... just catching up on old times." Qianxun avoided her eyes and lowered her head.
Hua Taisui frowned and suddenly noticed the palm prints on Qianxun's face: "Did he hit you?"
"No, no, I accidentally fell down..." As he said that, Qianxun covered his face and ran away.
Watching Qianxun's leaving figure, Hua Taisui's pretty face was cold and silent.
Suddenly, Mu Xisha came out of the dark corner. Hua Taisui saw Mu Xisha and said, "The leader..."
"Thank you for keeping an eye on Qianxun." Mu Xisha said.
In fact, Hua Taisui has been conquered by Mu Xisha since she set out on this road. She has become a member of the Skeleton Cult. Together with her husband, Hua Taisui said: "Cult leader, Qianxun I’m afraid I’m going to do something unfavorable to the leader of the church... Do you want to..."
As he spoke, Hua Taisui wiped his nose with a knife and made a murderous gesture.
Mu Xisha smiled and said: "We don't need to take action. With our insinuations and my husband's previous efforts, she will not be loyal to the emperor for a long time. After all, she is not a fool and he knows what is right and wrong. "
It is not without reason that Hua Taisui looks towards Li Yuguo, but there are three reasons for this. One is because she has now joined the Skeleton Cult, and the other is Li Huguo's righteousness and broadmindedness. Everyone sees it. A leader who thinks about everyone, Everyone follows him, that is the wisest choice.
The third reason is Hua Taisui himself. In order to control people, the methods used by the court were very despicable. It was the same when Long Qiansui joined Tongming Temple. At that time, Hua Taisui didn’t know that the two were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. Da, it was only after they got married that they found out that someone had secretly met with Long Qiansui, regarded Hua Taisui as a threat, and forced Long Qiansui to join.
Therefore, Hua Taisui generally had a good impression of the imperial court.
Qianxun was in a state of confusion at this time. She hid in the tent, covered her head, and burst into tears: "I, I really can't..."
