Great Sui Storyteller

"My lord, are you not going to Du Fuwei?"

Sensing that the troops on Du Fuwei's side began to retreat, Li Zhen asked in bewilderment.

"Ah."

Lord Huqiu responded, and stood in front of the small river to wash his hands...

He obviously didn't kill anyone, but it seemed like he wanted to wash off the blood on his hands.

Now, Li Zhen was really puzzled:

"Don't care about Daoist Tianji?...How about I go there by myself? Guaranteed he won't be able to eat four dishes!"

"What's the use of killing him?"

Lord Fox Qiu asked back.

Then a kind of indifference appeared on the face:
"This time, the reputation of you defeating the three gods is more important than a Tianji. And if you kill Du Fuwei or Tianji, the next Du Fuwei and Tianji will come out. If they hide in In the dark, on the contrary, I became a passive person. So... just get this result."

"..."

Li Zhen thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason.

asked:

"That Du Fuwei..."

"Taoist, do you know the biggest difference between him and Li Mi, Zhai Rang and others?"

"Uh……"

"He can't afford to lose."

Stretching her hand into the river, she had some sarcasm in her tone:

"Three defeats, this Jiangnan is his last shelter. If even Jiangnan is lost, then he is doomed to stop here. No matter what kind of ambitious people will see it, no matter how much support is given to him, His ability is no more than this. But, what is even more ironic is that the Jiangnan gentry did not want him to be king. So, I reminded him at the beginning, but this time he seemed to be motivated by greed On Tianji's boat...but he has a very good advantage, that is, knowing the current affairs. So...don't worry."

Finally, she washed away the bloody smell.

Stand up again.

After patting the non-existent floating dust on the bamboo hat, when she put it on, she said to Li Zhen:
"This battle, Jiangnan is safe~"

"...There is no war in Jiangnan so far?"

Li Zhen's eyes were full of surprise.

How could he have done such a "great" thing?

But who knows Lord Huqiu is a little helpless:

"What are you thinking, I'm just telling you that his side won't be a big trouble in the future. Even with these Jiangnan gentry who are waiting for the wind and rain... When the new lord ascends the throne, he will naturally be the one who surrenders. You have already got the biggest piece of meat, and the other petty profits, just let it go.”

"This……"

Li Zhen couldn't help but started scratching his head.

"Pindao feels like he hasn't done so many things..."

"You don't need to see clearly, it's enough for me to help you."

Master Fox Qiu saw that he was still struggling with these things, so he forcibly pulled his thoughts back.

Patted the remaining drops of water on his hands:

"Okay, let's go."

"Where?"

"I don't know, just go for a stroll and go back after getting some air."

Hearing this, Li Zhen responded:
"Ok!"

……

Say hang out, hang out.

During this period of time, Li Zhen and she almost turned Danyang around over and over again.Even Master Huqiu is like a half-tour guide, he can always come up with a few famous anecdotes or allusions when he goes to a place.

Li Zhen has some, I know.

Some do not know.

But they all acted as if they didn't know, and they said "adults are knowledgeable" and "adults have great opinions", and the flattery is almost blinding the eyes.

Finally, at the end of February and early March when the spring blossoms, the two finally saw the shadow of Jiangdu City.

In the past half a month, Jiangdu City seems to have not changed much.

Still like that.

The weather-beaten carriage was about to enter the city.

Suddenly, Li Zhen was taken aback...

"Appeal."

He stopped the carriage immediately.

"……What's wrong?"

In the carriage, the woman who was reading with a book saw him stop, and looked up through the bamboo curtain to the outside of the carriage.

She thought there was something blocking the way ahead, but seeing that everything was normal ahead, she was even more puzzled.

But she immediately knew why the Taoist stopped the car...

"grown ups."

Li Zhen's voice was a little low:

"Xingluo warehouse, it's broken."

"..."

Master Huqiu's eyebrows frowned instantly.

After thinking about it, she asked:
"News about keeping quiet?"

"Yes, it just came. Liu Changgong led [-] people to defend the city and was defeated. He returned to Luo Cangpo. Liu Changgong escaped back to Luoyang with only his own life. The Baiqisi in Luoyang also sent news to Shoujing , Tell your lord, after returning to the Luo warehouse, Li Mi opened the warehouse to release grain, and the people all lined up to welcome him, and there were tens of thousands of looters!"

"..."

There was silence in the car.

This silence lasted for about a cup of tea.

During this period, Li Zhen sat on the crossbar, looking at the beautiful Jiangdu City in front of him.

Not a word.

He actually felt weird.

With this kind of slow-moving news transmission method, the river is sunny and sunny today, but what will it look like when the news that Luoyang’s granary returns to Luocang is broken?
Can some people here still sleep peacefully?

While thinking about it, Lord Huqiu suddenly spoke.

"Shoujing has the ability to sneak into the ground without being discovered, right?"

"Uh... um!"

"What is he doing now?"

"watching a play."

"Look at... what?"

"Watching a show... Hey! Yang Tong threw something again, and even called the left and right ministers trash! He was going to kill Liu Changgong... He was stopped by Hongying, and he was trying to persuade him to calm down..."

"..."

Master Huqiu was a little speechless, but he still said:
"Let him go back to Luocang, he is now... Enlightened?"

"Ah."

"Let him go to Zhai Rang."

"...?"

Li Zhen was taken aback.

"What do you want Zhai Rang to do?"

"Taoist priest, who do you think has the final say in Wagang now?"

"……understood."

Li Zhen, who instantly guessed what Master Huqiu was going to do, nodded:
"Inciting internal strife? What kind of letters do you need?"

"No need. You let him stay by Zhai Rang's side... Li Mi is enlightened, and he is also enlightened. Give Zhai Rang some confidence, but also make Li Mi fearful."

"Then Yang Tong..."

"Worried about Hongying?"

"..."

"...You. Alas~"

This time, Master Huqiu was not only not angry, but let out a sigh.

"Don't worry, if something goes wrong, Bai Qisi will intervene and send her out of the East Palace."

"Okay. Then... shall I ask Shoujing and Hongying to talk?"

"Yeah. Tell her to be more careful in the near future. If something goes wrong, Bai Qisi will send her out of the palace directly. Luoyang is not worth much now, but it still has some uses. If Shou Jing is not here, let her be careful in everything. I will also tell Li Zhong to decide for himself whether Hongying wants to stay in the East Palace, how about it?"

"Ah."

Li Zhen responded:
"Then I'll let Shoujing find a way to get out now."

"Um……"

Lord Fox Qiu nodded, leaned back on the cushion and closed his eyes.

"Enter the city."
