East Factory Governor

Chapter 681

In the evening, as usual, there will be a reception banquet and a celebration banquet.

After the banquet, as soon as Qin Shuhuai returned to the house, Li Dingguo came looking for him.

Qin Shuhuai personally brewed a cup of tea for Li Dingguo, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Dingguo, I'm looking for you too, haha."

Li Dingguo took the tea and asked, "Oh? Then let the Duke speak first, and my subordinates will listen carefully."

Qin Shuhuai waved his hand, "It's okay, you go first."

Li Dingguo said conveniently, "Then the subordinate will talk first. The subordinate came to find the Duke to discuss the matter of dealing with the Demon Cult."

"Hehe, you have an idea so soon?" Qin Shuhuai smiled, "I thought you had to go to the office to get familiar with it for a period of time before you could come up with a successful plan."

Li Dingguo said, "My lord, to tell you the truth, my subordinates have no idea. It's just based on the current situation, I want to discuss with my lord."

"Well, let's talk, I am all ears."

"My lord, the Devil's Cult now occupies a province in Gansu, and it is operating steadily, using extremely sophisticated methods. It is said that the people in Gansu have many praises for the Devil's Sect, and even some places have set off a wave of joining the Devil's Sect , Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the gathering of Han Hui in Gansu is already extremely complicated, and the situation will become even more worrying if it goes on like this."

"In addition, because Gansu has been occupied, the Western Regions to the west of Gansu are beyond our reach. It is said that the power of the Demon Sect has begun to infiltrate it. What my subordinates are worried about is that if things go on like this, the problem of the Demon Sect will not only be a problem of Gansu, but a My Great Ming's western border issue."

"From the current point of view, the Devil's Cult has a wide range of strategic options. It can cooperate with countries in the Western Regions, including the empress of the Ruoqiang Kingdom. It can also recruit troops and raise food in Gansu and other places. It can completely establish itself as a country. Subordinates I believe that within three years, the Demon Cult will be able to restore its previous strength, or even become stronger."

"Although we must pay a huge price to suppress the Demon Sect now, rather than looking at it to become stronger, it is better to start as soon as possible. What is beneficial to us now is that the northern Tartars will never dare to go south in the past two or three years. So it is worth paying the price of 20 or [-] soldiers, as long as it can be exchanged for real peace in the world."

Hearing this, Qin Shuhuai said, "So, your suggestion is to send troops to attack Gansu immediately?"

"It's winter right now, which is beneficial to the defenders. My subordinate's suggestion is to wait until the spring thaws before encircling and suppressing. However, if we want to send troops in the spring, we have to make preparations from now on."

Qin Shuhuai agreed with Li Dingguo's opinion.

The issue of the Demon Cult really cannot be delayed, the more the Demon Cult is delayed, the stronger the Demon Cult will become.Moreover, if it drags on for a year or two, maybe Huang Taiji will recover, and it will be difficult for them to attack from both sides.

And if you want to attack at the beginning of spring, you really have to prepare now.For example, the issue of supplies, as well as the soldiers and horses that can be fought in the north, must be prepared in advance-the martial arts coalition alone is not enough.

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly.

This Li Dingguo is really a vigorous and resolute master, probably because he didn't mention the matter of suppressing the Demon Cult these days, so he was in a hurry.

It is really a comforting thing to have such a talent to worry about yourself.

Although it is possible for him to go to Lanzhou this time to resolve the Demon Cult issue peacefully, he believes that the probability of this is no more than [-]%.

Things always have to be prepared.

Going to Lanzhou for peace talks on the one hand, and letting Li Dingguo prepare to attack on the other hand, this is the best way to get the best of both worlds.

So he said, "Brother Dingguo said, I completely agree with you. In this way, after you arrive in Baoji, write down the strategy of Ping Gan as soon as possible. When I come back, you will submit it to me. I will be in the middle when the time comes." Coordinate and make this happen.”

Li Dingguo nodded, "I obey. By the way, where is the Duke going next?"

After a pause, he continued, "This subordinate is stupid. The Duke has been busy with state affairs for a long time, so he has to go back to see his family. It's almost Chinese New Year, and it happens to be a family reunion."

Qin Shuhuai smiled wryly, "A family reunion... Hey, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise to my wife again."

"Is the Duke not going home?"

"I can't go back!" Qin Shuhuai sighed, "I'm going to visit Lanzhou City next."

Li Dingguo was shocked.

"My lord, absolutely not! There are so many masters in Lanzhou City, and it is said that even the leader of the Demon Cult is there. It is too dangerous. Forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although the current situation is turbulent, all parties have their own opinions on the situation. Power, but the biggest variable is still in the Duke! The Duke’s mistake, the soldiers fought bloody battles, and the great situation that was exchanged for countless bones may be ruined! Wanwang, the Duke think twice!”

Qin Shuhuai couldn't help being moved by what Li Dingguo said.

Said, "Brother Dingguo is worrying too much. You know, I never do business that is bound to lose money. Since I will go, I must be sure to get out."

It is dangerous to go to Lanzhou City, but Qin Shuhuai is not going to be a lamb to be slaughtered.

He has thought through the whole thing and will not change it because of anyone.

However, Li Dingguo still insisted on dissuading him, and solemnly knelt down and said, "My Lord, please put the state affairs first! Put the world first!"

He didn't believe that an ordinary person could enter and exit Lanzhou City at will.Zhang Xianzhong had some cooperation with the Devil's Cult before, so he knew very well how powerful the Devil's Cult was.

Qin Shuhuai helped him up, and said, "Brother Dingguo, there are some risks. If it's worth it, we'll take the risk. This matter has been decided by the public, so there's no need to talk about it. Besides, for the matter of going to Lanzhou City, only you and Gang Leader Wang I know, even the emperor doesn’t know, so you must not mention it to anyone.”

"Grandpa!"

"It's late at night, go back and sleep peacefully. Tomorrow, I will get Mr. Hong's commission and leave for Baoji early."

……

In the early morning of the second day, Li Jingting took five thousand soldiers and horses to escort Cao Guozhang, Zhou Yanru and others to the capital.

Later, Li Dingguo also went to Baoji with 4000 troops.

Before leaving the city, he persuaded Qin Shuhuai once more to let him give up the idea of ​​going to Lanzhou, but Qin Shuhuai just told him to leave quickly.

After they all left, Qin Shuhuai also set off.

It was a long way from Xi'an to Lanzhou, and Qin Shuhuai didn't want to ride a horse, so he hired a carriage and went to Lanzhou leisurely.

Along the way, I chatted with the coachman about the customs of various places, but I was not lonely.

When he was tired from chatting, he sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Speaking of which, after more than half a month of recuperation, the injuries on his body are almost healed.

However, thinking of the clouds of Demon Cult masters in Lanzhou City, I still feel a little apprehensive.

Now there are [-] chivalry points in the system, enough to buy a book of magical skills.Still, it's hard to decide which one to buy right now.

By the way, there seems to be a red dial in the system that is useless.

This can be used first to see what good things can be transferred?

Qin Shuhuai turned on the system, found the red dial, and decisively clicked "Use".

The turntable starts and the pointer settles quickly.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host, you have obtained the superb magic medicine 'Jingjin Pill'. After taking this pill, you can improve any kind of magical power you have learned by two levels. Warm reminder: this medicine can only be taken once, and it cannot be used after taking it. Repeated purchases will not be drawn repeatedly."

"Jingjin Pill? How does this name sound like an aphrodisiac?"

Qin Shuhuai complained a bit, then fell into deep thought.

If you can improve by three levels, that's really awesome. You must know that most of the exercises you have learned are top-notch exercises, and the further you go, the harder it is to improve.

So what's good about improving?
The Yi Jin Jing is already on the eighth floor. If you take the pill, you can go to the No.11 floor, which is one floor away from the full level.

The fifth level of Nine Suns Divine Art is reached. If you increase three levels, you will reach the eighth level, and you will reach the full level directly.

How awesome is the full-level Nine Suns Divine Art?

Thinking of this, he was a little excited.

How about improving the Nine Suns Divine Art?

But after thinking about it, he felt wrong again.

In fact, the zhenqi in my body is Yiyang zhenqi fused with Nine Suns Divine Art and Yi Jin Jing. If I only raise the level of one of them unilaterally, will the improvement effect be compromised for Yiyang zhenqi?
It's quite possible.

However, if you don't improve the Nine Suns Divine Art or the Yi Jin Jing, what else can you improve?

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Snow without a trace!

There are a total of eight floors in Taxue Wuhen, and he is now on the fifth floor.

If it is used to improve Treading Snow Wuhen, it will reach full level directly!
The system once said that no one has raised Taxue Wuhen to the eighth floor for hundreds of years, and even those who have achieved mastery, that is, those who have reached the sixth floor, are very few.

The full-level Treading Snow Wuhen, according to the literal meaning of this kung fu, should not leave traces even if you step on the snow?

This is almost unscientific!

If you can reach the full level, it not only means that your body skills will be faster in the future, but also means——

You can run away faster!
Is there anything more important than saving your life?

That's it!Stepping on the snow without a trace, full level!
