A rumor immediately set off huge waves in Balong City.
"Li Zhen is going to Beijing with 20,000 elite super troops."
"How can this be possible? I heard that Li Zhen's 20,000 people are all equipped with super armor and super firearms. Each of them is one against a hundred."
"If Li Zhen enters the capital, and 20,000 elite troops are stationed in Balong City, wouldn't it mean that he can break into the palace at any time?"
"Yes, if Li Zhen enters Balong City, his desire to change his dynasty is almost just a thought."
"Li Zhen cannot be allowed to enter Beijing."
"Li Zhen doesn't have a good impression of the people of our Eight Dragon City either. He might even massacre the city."
"Yes, when Li Zhen was still the number one scholar, he killed ten people in anger on Ba Bridge. At that time, Li Zhen was not powerful yet, but he was so powerful. Now he has brought 20,000 troops into Beijing, even if he is not going to massacre the city. "
"Despite the legend that Li Zhen is amiable, in fact he kills people without blinking an eye. He is extremely cold and indifferent. Moreover, we the people of Balong City have offended him and kicked him out of Balong City back then. He must be Will take revenge."
"The most unlucky one should be Zhashui County..."
“…”
The entire Balong City was in chaos, and the people all gathered together and began to march under the organization of caring people. There was a collective shouting and collective opposition to Li Zhen's entry into Beijing.
You can enter Beijing, but you cannot bring troops in.
Above the imperial court, Xun Jiayuan was also having a headache with this problem.
Although the ministers below were once dissatisfied with Xun Jiayuan, it was difficult for them to have any thoughts of rebellion, and they always believed in sticking with him until the end. Still assisting him seriously.
But now that Xun Jiayuan has gotten better, everyone has seen hope. The world will eventually be unified, and the world will still be the dynasty of the Xun family.
"Emperor, I suggest that Li Zhen must not be allowed to enter the capital."
"Even if this deal is not discussed, Li Zhen cannot be allowed to enter Beijing."
"If Li Zhen enters the Eight Dragon City, his 20,000 elite troops can break through the palace defense line at any time. I'm not saying that our imperial army will not be able to do it. The main thing is... the fighting will begin in the Eight Dragon City. The bloody disaster will be unknown after all."
"We won't do this business. We can think of ways to deal with the money issue, but when Li Zhen enters the capital, this is a sword hanging over his head. This person is no longer what he used to be."
“…”
Xun Jiayuan sat on the dragon chair and remained silent.
He carefully summarized the suggestions of the ministers, and he didn't know that rumors broke out among the people of Balong City overnight, and there must be someone behind it. But...it does make sense.
Li Zhen had 20,000 people enter the capital, wouldn't he be at his mercy? If he had another idea of usurping power, he would go directly to the palace. Then the central nervous system of the imperial court would be paralyzed, and the imperial court would be completely dead.
After thinking for a long time, Xun Jiayuan made a final decision: "Send the order."
"Here."
"Order Li Zhen to cancel this cooperation negotiation. We will find a suitable opportunity in the future."
"yes."
"I order Hebi County to be on guard and guard it to the death. Li Zhen must not be allowed to enter the city one by one."
"yes."
"Jiaozuo County, Xinxiang County, and Changzhi County. Send troops to reinforce Hebi County to prevent any accidents. Only after Li Zhen withdraws his troops and returns to Dongzhou can the armies of the three counties be evacuated."
"yes!"
Seeing Xun Jiayuan decisively issuing logically clear orders, the minister nodded secretly. Extremely gratified.
After the court ended, Xun Jiayuan sighed: "It's a pity that this is a sensitive period. Even if I really want to discuss business with you, the conditions don't allow it. I have no choice but to do so."
Xun Jiayuan can naturally understand the occurrence of this phenomenon.
Li Zhen did not trust the imperial court and did not dare to be on guard when entering the capital.
And I don't trust Li Zhen. After all, if such a powerful and coaxing army enters the center of the imperial court, everyone will be restless.
The distrust between the two parties led to the failure of this cooperation.
Xun Jiayuan could only think secretly, but he needed money, he really needed money. Otherwise, let Li Zhen send someone in charge of the business to negotiate, and he himself wouldn't come, right
——
Is this really the case
No.
This business must be discussed, and it will be impossible not to do so.
If Li Zhen has always been eager to go to Balong City, but has never taken action. So this time Xun Jiayuan's joke asked Li Zhen to talk about it in person, which completely became a trigger and an opportunity.
There is a bomb buried in my heart, a bomb that wants to go to Balong City and meet someone. Once ignited, it cannot be extinguished.
"Li Zhen accepts the order!"
Jiang Tian, the princess of Hebi County, stood on the tower and breathed a sigh of relief. She finally received a clear order from the court and no longer needed to take risks.
When he heard the voice on the radio, Jiang Tian admitted that his heart dropped.
"The Emperor of Kyushu has issued an order for Li Zhen to withdraw to Dongzhou immediately. Let's talk about it some other time. If the deal cannot be concluded, benevolence and righteousness will lead to it, so retreat."
“…”
Everyone in the garrison camp in Dongzhou breathed a sigh of relief, as they no longer needed to go deep alone. The tense atmosphere was finally relieved.
Xun Jiayuan was afraid and did not dare to let Li Zhen enter Balong City to negotiate. Isn't this good? There is no need to take risks and go deep alone, and Li Zhen's safety is guaranteed.
Qi Lengzi was overjoyed. When he came to Li Zhen's camp, he quickly made a sad and angry expression: "Oh, Li Zhen, the emperor of the imperial court has sent an order. He said that we should go back to Dongzhou. Let's not talk about this deal for now. Okay. Let’s talk about this deal later. It’s okay, it’s just a sum of money, as long as it doesn’t belong to him. Then shall we set off back to Dongzhou now?”
Li Zhen was lying in the rocking chair without opening his eyes. He just said lightly: "I know."
Qi Lengzi clicked the back of his head: "Then when are we going back to Dongzhou? Let's go now, or early tomorrow morning..."
"I said I got it. Don't you understand?"
Li Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qi Lengzi coldly.
Qi Lengzi shivered, feeling chilled in his heart. He didn't dare to say anything and turned around and walked out. I have never seen Li Zhen look like this, never before. It was a kind of indifference that suppressed the overwhelming anger.
After Qi Lengzi walked out of the camp, the people in front of him quickly asked him anxiously: "How is it?"
"When did Master Li say we were leaving?"
"Come on, why are you in a daze?"
"I'm anxious to death. Do you mean to withdraw the troops now? I'm going to prepare."
"You are talking."
“…”
Qi Lengzi took a deep breath and murmured: "Li Zhen said he knew."
"Um?"
"What?"
"What do you know?"
"What do you mean, when are we going to withdraw our troops?"
“…”
Qi Lengzi repeated: "Li Zhen said that he knows. If you know, you know. I don't know what it means. You can ask it yourself."
Everyone was dumbfounded, what does it mean to know? So when are you leaving
But looking at the extremely quiet Li Zhen camp, everyone shrank their necks. Li Zhen has been in a bad state these past two days...
