Teacher is too tough

Li Hong didn't need to think about it. The old emperor was suspicious of him. It must have been Liu Bai who gave him eye drops. He leaned down and said in panic: "Your Majesty knows clearly. My loyalty to your Majesty can be demonstrated by the sun and the moon. Your Majesty must not listen to villains." calumny."

He glanced at Liu Bai and said, "The traitor Li Qingshi is rushing to Laojun Mountain this time. I wonder if Director Liu has reported this to Your Majesty?"

The old emperor snorted and said: "You don't have to provoke me. Liu Bai has already told me. Not only that, I also know that the people from Laojun Mountain have gone to Qiongzhou! With these martial arts masters joining, the rebels in Qiongzhou will be even more powerful." , it’s all your fault!”

Li Hong was a little surprised. He had always suspected that there was something fishy between Liu Bai and Li Qingshi, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to tell the old emperor about Li Qingshi's rush to Laojun Mountain.

The old emperor said: "After this incident, Laojun Mountain has become even more popular in the world. When they go to Qiongzhou, I am afraid that many people will follow suit. They are all martial arts practitioners. In this way, I will wipe out this group of thieves. I don’t know how many more soldiers will die. If it’s just a few lives, it’s all in vain!”

When he mentioned money, the old emperor's voice couldn't help but rise again. He slapped the desk and said, "This is all the mess you made!"

Li Hong said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Even if there are people in the world who follow suit, they are just small fish and shrimps with low cultivation, and there is nothing to worry about..."

Speaking of which, he suddenly stopped.

Seeing that he was not too panicked, the old emperor seemed to have another plan and said, "Could it be that you have another plan?"

Li Hong glanced at Liu Bai slightly and said: "I have few talents and little knowledge. I really did not do my job well this time and I have no backup plan."

Liu Bai said: "Your Majesty, Prince Consort Li is afraid that I will hear you, so I will leave first."

Li Hong was stunned. It was true that because Liu Bai was present, he didn't want to say more, but he didn't expect Liu Bai to be so discerning this time. In the past, he would be so shameless as to listen.

Unexpectedly, the old emperor raised his hand and said: "No, you are not an outsider, what can't you listen to? Li Hong, if you have anything to say, just say it, otherwise all the costs of annihilating the rebels in Qiongzhou will be borne by your Princess Huai'an Mansion!"

Li Hong glanced at Liu Bai again, and then realized that Director Liu was retreating in order to advance. Seeing that the old emperor was already a little impatient, Li Hong knew his dog temper, so he could only say: "In my opinion, Lao Junshan It is actually a good thing to take revenge on those mountain gates of the Five Mountains and Twelve Caves."

The old emperor said: "Go on."

Li Hong said: "Laojun Mountain has gained great reputation all the way, but how can they give up after they burned down the mountain gates? As far as I know, they have already gone to Zhongyue to meet up, and sixteen mountain gates have joined forces, not to mention other things. The collection of Qiankun Realm masters should not be underestimated. With these people taking action, the rebels in Qiongzhou will definitely have a hard time. Not only will your Majesty not lose more soldiers, but he will save an unknown amount of energy."

The old emperor thought for a while, his gloomy face turned into a smile, and he nodded: "What you said makes sense."

He glanced at Li Hong and asked, "Is this all part of your plan?"

Li Hong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, you think too highly of me when you say that. I only figured this out later."

The old emperor was in a good mood at this time and said with a smile: "Why should you be humble in front of me? As expected of the world-famous Mr. Li, this plan was invincible from the beginning. I was indeed right about the person."

Li Hong said humbly: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary." He glanced at Liu Bai and took the opportunity to apply eye drops: "There are countless Qiankun realms in the Zhenwu Division. If Director Liu was willing to use the strength of the Zhenwu Division, those rebels in Qiongzhou would have been killed long ago. How could your Majesty be so thoughtful? I don’t need to worry about it."

Liu Bai remained silent and turned a deaf ear.

The old emperor said: "You take this for granted. Liu Bai has already discussed this matter with me. If all the people from the Zhenwu Division are transferred to deal with those rebels, who will protect the safety of the capital? Who will suppress the entire world? When trouble occurs, the disaster will be far worse than Qiongzhou."

It turned out that Liu Bai had already laid a plan for the old emperor... Li Hong said: "What your Majesty said is true, but I didn't think carefully."

The old emperor said brightly: "I have mobilized the army to gather in Qiongzhou. Now it seems that there is no need to rush to take action. We can slow down for a while. When those martial arts masters take revenge on the Qiongzhou rebels, I will cooperate with them."

Li Hong leaned over and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

……

Jingzhou territory.A young man in shabby clothes and a local dog quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, and soon reached the top of the mountain.

There are several rows of thatched houses standing on the top of the mountain. Although they are simple, they can provide shelter from wind and rain.

An old man was basking in the sun in front of the house. When he saw the young man coming in panic, he stood up and said, "Xiao Tong, what are you doing in such a hurry? Something happened?"

The young man panted and said: "Village chief, a group of officers and soldiers came down the mountain. They seem to be heading to Qiongzhou."

The old man's expression changed and he asked, "Are they coming up the mountain?"

The young man shook his head and said, "They weren't there yet when I saw them, but I'm worried they will come."

The old man thought for a while and said: "It's better to be on guard. Go and ask the women to hide in the hidden cave."

The young man said: "What about us?"

The old man said: "They may not come, but even if they come, we will just have some food for them here. If we run away with our things, I'm afraid they will get angry and set our house on fire."

The young man nodded and ran to report the news.

After a while, there was a roar of chickens and dogs on the mountain, and the women supported each other and went back to the mountain.

These were the same group of refugees who had robbed Li Qingshi. When Li Qingshi and others left, they left them a lot of money, so they settled here.

When things were good, they didn't have to worry about having enough to eat. When times were bad, they used the money Li Qingshi left to them to live off their lives. These past few years have been uneventful.

At the foot of the mountain, a group of officers and soldiers marched forward in a loose manner. The leader was a burly general, sitting high on his horse, looking a little listless.

A deputy general beside him said: "General, I have been driving for less than half a month. I think our brothers are tired. Why don't we find a place to rest?"

The general's name is Wei Chong. This time he was ordered to lead his troops to Qiongzhou. Ever since he received the order, he has been in a bad mood. He had been living a very comfortable life, so why was he hit by such a hard job?

Those rebel thieves in Qiongzhou are extraordinary. How can they be so easy to fight?

But he didn't dare to be a deserter, for fear of disturbing the whole family.

He looked around a few times and said: "You can't rest here in a place where birds don't poop. Just be patient and wait until you get to the edge of the big city to have a good rest."

There are regulations in the army that troops cannot enter the city without orders, but camping outside the city does not violate military discipline. It is obviously better to rest outside the big city than in the wilderness.

The lieutenant general smiled and said: "The general is wrong. We will inevitably be tied up when we get near the big city. No one will take care of us in this remote mountain. If we can find a rural village with roots in the mountains, then my brothers will be happy."

Wei Chong was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He pointed his finger and said with a smile, "I can't tell, you still have such a frivolous intestine."

The deputy general smiled apologetically and said: "The general is busy with military affairs all day long, and naturally has no time to pay attention to anything else. I heard that the other teams who were ordered to be transferred to Qiongzhou had their tricks along the way. I am just looking for the best."

Wei Chong laughed loudly and said, "Is there still this thing? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Seeing the wise, this word is so apt!"

The deputy general looked around and said, "There might be people living on this mountain. How about... go up the mountain and take a look?"

Wei Chong turned over and dismounted, threw the whip into the hands of his guards, waved his hand and said: "Take a look!" (End of Chapter)
