Teacher is too tough

Since Li Qingshi usurped the throne and became the leader of the rebel army, in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, at first he was like a mosquito that bites you, which is disgusting but does not matter.

Then, like a mad dog, it bites you when you are not paying attention. Although it is not fatal, it starts to hurt.

The old emperor is now personally presiding over the overall situation of quelling the chaos. However, it was only after he personally took charge of the overall situation that he discovered that the efficiency of the imperial court's army dispatching had been so low!This made him extremely angry and at the same time, he even felt a little scared.

What's more, he is glad that he intervened in time and did not let this problem continue to worsen. Otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable. It is also for this reason that he investigated Prince Yi and Chun, who were suspected of supporting the rebel army and thus shaking the foundation of the Daren Dynasty. The prince was deeply disgusted and had begun to support other princes.

After getting furious, Liu Bai, the director of the Zhenwu Department, retreated, leaving only the old emperor, the consort Li Hong, and two serving old eunuchs in the royal study.

The old emperor said: "Whether that traitor removed the Zhenwusi poison or suddenly cultivated to the Qiankun realm, I am afraid it is inseparable from Laojun Mountain. This Laojun Mountain has caused me a lot of trouble."

He raised his eyelids, glanced at Li Hong, and asked: "Is there no plan to eradicate Laojun Mountain yet?" His tone implied displeasure.

Li Hong said respectfully: "I'm almost ready. I'm just worried about something, I don't know whether I should talk about it."

The old emperor said: "What are you worried about?"

Li Hong muttered: "I discussed with His Majesty the killing of Laojunshan. Director Liu was present several times. I was afraid that he would tip off Laojunshan."

The old emperor's eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward and said: "Liu Bai and Lao Junshan colluded? Do you have evidence?"

Li Hong shook his head and said, "I am just saying this just in case. There is no evidence."

The old emperor leaned back in his chair again, frowned and said, "I have told you more than once that you two are the people I trust most, so don't get in the way of each other. It seems you didn't listen."

Li Hong knelt down and said: "Of course I will keep it in mind, but I still feel a little strange about Zhenwu Division's arrest of the traitor this time, so I have to be on guard. This is also to better serve His Majesty."

The old emperor stared at him for a while and said, "What do you suspect?"

Li Hong said: "I can believe that the traitor broke through the Qiankun realm in one fell swoop, but he was able to kill nine Qiankun realms one-on-ten just after he stepped into the Qiankun realm. This is really hard for me to believe. To be honest, your Majesty, even with my current cultivation level, it is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty, you can ask the experts around you to know how difficult this is."

The old emperor subconsciously glanced at the two old eunuchs beside Gong Li, but did not say anything.

Li Hong continued: "Even if the nine masters of the Qiankun Realm of Zhenwu Division died in Qiongzhou, I feel that there must be something hidden, whether it is that the traitor had other helpers, or he used some unknown means. , Director Liu didn’t even mention it, I don’t know if Director Liu is secretly collaborating with the enemy, I can only say that he is hiding something.”

The old emperor remained silent, his eyes flickering uncertainly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Hong hesitated for a moment and then said: "These are indeed just my speculations. Your Majesty may not pursue them or believe them, but I ask your Majesty to pay more attention to them in the future. There is no harm in it after all."

The old emperor remained silent for an unknown amount of time before he said, "I understand."

Li Hong exited the imperial study, maintaining his usual respectful expression, but in his heart he was thinking about how far the old emperor could listen to his words.

He didn't know whether the Zhenwu Division had colluded with Laojunshan. He was just worried that the Zhenwu Division was in charge of Jianghu affairs. If he secretly colluded with some forces in the Jianghu over the years, it would have a huge impact on his plans.

When the old emperor and his court lose all support, he plans to launch a coup, and the only obstacle that worries him is the Zhenwu Division.If Zhenwusi still colludes with some Jianghu forces, it will be more difficult for him to succeed. Therefore, inciting Jianghu to encircle Laojun Mountain this time is a test for him. He will take this opportunity to observe the reactions of all parties, so Only then can we make the most appropriate response.

As for the rebel army now carried by Li Qingshi, he has never paid attention to it. The presence of this rebel army can help him further weaken the people's hearts in the current court.

As for whether this armed force will become a new trouble, of course not. Now that the old emperor has personally intervened, Li Consort feels that this rebel army will not be able to survive for a few days. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With the Daren Dynasty's Bottom line, this refugee army is really not good enough.

……

Rebel military camp.

In the Chinese military tent, there was a simple sand table on the ground. Li Qingshi and Morengan were standing in front of the sand table to discuss the next move.

The outside of the Chinese military tent looked unremarkable, but in fact there were a large number of archers and crossbowmen hiding in nearby camps to guard against the imperial court sending masters to secretly attack.

Morengan frowned slightly, looking across the marked places on the sand table, shaking his head from time to time.

Li Qingshi pointed to a place and asked: "How is it here?"

Mo Rengan thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "The risk is too great, it's not appropriate."

Li Qingshi said: "We have only been doing this business for a few days. The court should not be able to react, right? I think we can do it again."

Morengan said: "You underestimate the imperial court and your position in the emperor's heart too much. If all the forces are restraining each other like before, of course they will not be able to react at this time. But if what I expected is right, the emperor will He must have been mad at you, then he will destroy us at all costs. With the emperor's absolute will, the efficiency of the court must not be underestimated."

A few days ago, they robbed several important granaries of the imperial court with lightning speed. Li Qingshi was shocked. He did not expect that there were countless refugees in the world and countless people starved to death, but there was still so much food in the official granaries!
But Mo Rengan seemed to have expected it, or maybe he was too good at controlling his emotions. Anyway, nothing could be seen from his face.

The ability to accurately find the location of these official warehouses was all thanks to Mo Rengan. Li Qingshi felt that since he knew the location of these granaries of the imperial court, it was not surprising to know that there was sufficient food in them.

It seems that the No. [-] Scholar has long understood the food reserves of the Daren Dynasty.

This grain is piled up in the granary, and much of it has rotted or sprouted. Even so, they are not willing to take it out to help the people. There is no psychological burden at all to grab this kind of grain.

Just when Li Qingshi was about to roll up his sleeves and fight, he was suddenly stopped by Mo Rengan, because the champion estimated that the imperial court had probably already prepared countermeasures, and if he continued to grab it, he might be defeated by the imperial court. of ambush.

Morengan said: "After all, we lack eyeliners. When the two armies are fighting, intelligence is the most important. However, cultivating eyeliners and establishing an intelligence network cannot be accomplished overnight. Let's start as soon as possible, hoping to be in time."

Li Qingshi planned to go to the official warehouse in person to check whether the imperial court had set up an ambush, but Morengan stopped him, fearing that if the imperial court expected that he would do this and mobilized experts in advance, it would be a trap for him.

Li Qingshi was a man who cherished his life. Hearing what he said, he immediately gave up and did not dare to have his own way.

Regarding the intelligence network, Liu Beidou also told Li Qingshi that Li Qingshi had a deep understanding at this time. They were like blind men and did not know the enemy's movements, which made the situation very passive.
