Raid

Chapter 127 Saltpeter
Li Shengxi wiped his hands clean and returned to the hospital.

From today onwards, there is no Liang Yin in Northern Qi Dynasty.Some of the relevant personnel of Qingquan Villa withdrew to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and some went to the Southland. As for the rest, they changed their skins and continued to stay in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Liu Jin changed his face and continued to stay in Yingxiao's clinic.

When Li Sheng came back, Liu Jin was relieved.

"What are you so nervous about?" Li Shengxi couldn't help but find it funny when she saw Liu Jin's nervous appearance. She sat at the desk, casually playing with lanterns, and said leisurely: "It's not the first time I went to the prison in Dali Temple. , what are you so nervous about?"

"Although it's not the first time to go, going to your own sky prison is different from going to someone else's sky prison."

The eldest princess brazenly intervened in state affairs as a woman, and frequently went to important places of the court. Zongzheng Siqing has impeached these words many times, but the impeachment belongs to the impeachment, and the eldest princess is still the same as the eldest princess.

She dared to do anything, from the Shigan Hall to the refugee camp, she had never been to any place, let alone a mere Dali Temple.

"It's not the first time I sneaked in." In the Southern Jin Dynasty, she and her elder brother teamed up to bring down the Mu family. She also sneaked into the prison without permission to kill people and cut off the Mu family.

"It's different after all." Liu Jin retorted in disapproval.

Li Shengxi smiled slightly, and didn't care about Liu Jin's worries at all, "You can rest assured, the identity of the eldest princess of the Southern Jin Dynasty is enough to save her life anywhere."

Liu Jin couldn't laugh or cry, so he simply didn't bother to persuade her. If she was caught, the identity of the eldest princess was indeed enough to repay her life, but Nanjin would pay a huge price to welcome the eldest princess back, and the emperor would welcome the eldest princess back.But the princess would not be willing to pay such a high price for the Holy One.

Liu Jin sighed helplessly, and immediately said seriously: "News from the south?"

Li Sheng's hand holding the lantern flower paused, and seeing Liu Jin's serious expression, he couldn't help but feel awe, "What happened?"

"On the south side, they found Zhou's boat, which went all the way from Xiaqiu to Jiangbei."

"The Zhou family is also a well-known family in Xiaqiu. It's not surprising that there are ships coming and going. What's on the ship? Weapons?" Li Shengxi didn't forget why he replaced Yingxiao.

Liu Jin shook his head, "Zhou's defense is strict, our people have never spied on the items on the ship, but when they were unloading, our people smelled the faint smell of saltpeter. This is a big matter, we must In anticipation, Wu Yang took pictures of a few people to find out what happened, and he can confirm that it is gunpowder saltpeter."

"Saltpeter!" Li Sheng was startled, and his brows could not help but wrinkle. There are many people with a keen sense of smell among the inner guards, but they can still smell it under Zhou's strict precautions, so there is only one possibility—— —The amount of saltpeter is enormous.

"You said they were transporting to the south?" Li Shengxi frowned.

Liu Jin nodded, "It is indeed going to the coast of the Li River."

Today, the world is divided by the Lijiang River, and the two countries are governed separately. Lijiang is the border between the two countries, and it is also an important place for military strategists. It is not easy to think about transporting saltpeter to the south.

"The disciples of the Zhou family are full of acquaintances. After Zhou Shuzhan was relegated from Beijing, he also served as an official in Jiangbei, and there are even generals from the Zhou family stationed in Jiangbei. What they did...could it be..."

"No." Li Shengzhen interrupted Liu Jin's words. A sneak attack at this time is not good for Northern Qi, and it is not good for the Zhou family. The Zhou family has always been unprofitable, so it is impossible for the Zhou family to do these things.

If the Northern Qi was strong, then triggering the Lijiang battle would indeed help the Zhou Clan regain control of the military, but the Northern Qi's national strength declined.If there is a war, the country will only be destroyed, and the nest will be destroyed, and there will be no eggs, and the Zhou family will not be able to please.

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "That's good."

It's not that she is afraid of war, it's just that she is Li Shengxi's confidant and knows Li Shengxi's plan. Now is not the time to start the war, at least until the flood season passes.

"Not good." Li Sheng shook his head, his face was not at all relaxed, "The large-scale saltpeter is definitely not a small conspiracy, not to mention that the matter of Yuhua Pill never attracted Zhou's attention at that time, which shows how Zhou's Pay attention to this matter. The Zhou family attaches so much importance to such a large-scale saltpeter, and it is shameful, it will definitely not be a good thing."

She rubbed her head, suddenly thought of something, and frowned, "I remember that several embankments were newly built last year, so this year Northern Qi didn't rush to strengthen them. And the people sent to repair the embankments were eunuchs. "

Rujin nodded, "Indeed..."

Liu Jin paused suddenly, and said suddenly: "The Zhou family is also a well-known family, with strict family traditions, and the children they teach are not all Xie Tingyushu, but they will have a bottom line, so they shouldn't be so unscrupulous."

If the saltpeter was directed at the eunuchs, then it is likely to be used to cause natural disasters to blow up dams, cause floods, and ignite public anger. It is more than enough to deal with Guan Zhi.And not only can it deal with the management of the party, but the Zhou family has a lot of old students in the local area. If Zhou Shuzhan and others were prepared and rescued the disaster in time, the Zhou family could return to the court.

Li Sheng shook his head, "Stay in the center of power and be infected by power every day. How many people keep their hearts? Some people can get out of the mud without being stained, while others can plunge into the mud, sink into the mud, and become mud. The family tradition may still remain. Now, people are not necessarily what they used to be. You are pure and kind-hearted, and you always like to think of the best when you encounter things or people. But have you forgotten? Mu Xu is also a son of a famous family, but back then Mu Xu solved Huanzhi without bloodshed. , Didn’t you also introduce the infected people into the crowd when Huanzhi provided disaster relief?”

If she hadn't discovered it in time and stopped it in a hurry, the epidemic would definitely spread among the crowd on a large scale, and the consequences would be disastrous.Because of this, even if Mu Xu had been kind to her, had affection for her, and was her own husband, she would kill him without hesitation.

"Blowing up the dam is my guess, but the consequences are no less than the Mu family's disaster. A catastrophe is often accompanied by a catastrophe. If it really happens, the consequences will be disastrous. We must stop it." Li Shengxi murmured softly. .

"But we don't have anyone who can stop the Zhou family in the official circles of the Northern Qi Dynasty." If this happened in the Southern Jin Dynasty, it would be easy to solve, but it happened to be the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Li Shengxi frowned, a strong dragon could not overwhelm a local snake, and her power in Northern Qi could hardly compete with the Zhou family, Li Shengxi pursed his lips, "First arrange someone to go to do it, I will notify Rong Zhi."

Believe it or not is up to Rong Zhi.

Liu Jin nodded, and Li Shengxi warned again: "Remember, you must be careful, and you must never startle the snake."

Once the grass is startled, Zhou's dog jumping over the wall will inevitably not make a move in advance, which is even more of a disaster.
