Chapter 945: The Army Attacks, the Battle of the Body

As he said this, he threw the letter on the table directly into Tang Jingde's arms.

Tang Jingde opened it and read through it quickly.

Like Lu Zongqing, his face turned ashen, the only difference was that his eyes were wide open.

He looked up at Li Mu and asked, "Is what the Eighth Sage King wrote true?"

"That's right! How dare I make up a story to deceive General Lu? If you don't believe me, you can just grab a commoner from the Great Duan Dynasty and ask him to find out the truth!"

Lu Zongqing frowned and said, "Mr. Tang, what do you think? Please tell me!"

Tang Jingde said with emotion: "Your Highness, this Lin Yun is truly a great hero! If the policies on governing the country in this memorial are true, we must hurry up and eliminate this man! Otherwise, I assert that within ten years, the comprehensive national strength of the Daduan Dynasty will surpass that of Daqian!"

Lu Zongqing snorted coldly, but he agreed with Tang Jingde's conclusion.

"What about the military deployment? The four major counties controlled by the Great Duan Dynasty are now armed to the teeth! Especially the skilled craftsmen headed by Yang Tiexin and Zhao Ji. They are the most deadly threat to our Great Qian!"

Tang Jingde smiled coldly: "Your Highness, this matter cannot be rushed! If this is the case, we can't send troops easily! The best way is to secretly instigate rebellion. Didn't we already deploy a lot of spies in the Great Duan Dynasty a few years in advance?"

“Now it’s time to reuse them!”

Lu Zongqing's eyes lit up: "Incite these skilled craftsmen to rebel and use them for Daqian? This general will report to the Dragon Emperor now! Let the court intervene..."

With that said, he stood up to leave.

Tang Jingde immediately stopped him and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, please be patient! I have already said that this matter cannot be rushed! We need to think about it carefully! We only have one chance to persuade these skilled craftsmen to rebel! Once we are exposed, Lin Yun will definitely be on guard!"

"So, we need to find the right target and hit it with one strike! If we don't make a move, then it's fine. But if we do, we have to take down the most powerful and skilled craftsman. This will not only inject fresh blood into Daqian's military industry, but also deal a heavy blow to Lin Yun!"

Lu Zongqing nodded: "Then let's go with Yang Tiexin! According to intelligence, this old man has mastered a lot of technology, and the Thunder Cannon was created by him!"

Tang Jingde shook his head and said, "Not right! This person has followed Lin Yun the longest, it would be too difficult to persuade him to defect!"

"Then let's pick Zhao Ji! This guy is the son of King Fufeng, and Guan Haiyue and Zhao Yanliang are old acquaintances! It would be most appropriate to let him act as a matchmaker!"

Tang Jingde smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, don't be anxious! This kind of secret war behind enemy lines is not as easy as you think! Everything still needs to wait for the right opportunity! We can only wait for Lin Yun to show his hand, so that we can let this matter take its course and not be discovered by the other party before we succeed!"

As he was speaking, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a soldier walked in and knelt on one knee.

"General, we have discovered an elite force of 10,000 people on the other side of the Ruoshui River, and they are rapidly approaching us!"

Lu Zongqing stood up suddenly, frowned and asked: "Do you know the other party's identity?"

"Look, there is a word 'Du' on their flag! I don't know which side of the Great Duan Kingdom this army belongs to!"

Lu Zongqing turned around and looked at Li Mu, and asked, "Does the Eighth Sage King know the other party's origins?"

Li Mu frowned and said, "The word 'supervisor'... If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be someone from Jiangxia Governor's Mansion!"

Now, in the entire Great Duan Dynasty, there is only one Governor's Office, which is the force controlled by Jiang Kun.

"Jiangxia Governor's Office? What kind of department is this?"

Tang Jingde looked curious.

Li Mu did not hide it and told Lin Yun the purpose of setting up the Jiangxia Governor's Office. Lu Zongqing sneered, "I thought it was a powerful army, but it turned out to be a group of masters! Eighth Sage King, it seems that the other party's target this time is most likely you!"

Li Mu smiled bitterly, he also guessed that it was directed at him.

But I am still not sure about the other party's specific intentions.

Could it be that Lin Yun has changed his mind?
Want to send someone to kill me and silence me?

But based on his understanding of Lin Yun, it is impossible for him to do such a stupid thing!
If not, then you know one possibility.

I am here to help him gain Lu Zongqing's trust.

Thinking of this, Li Mu was secretly delighted and secretly admired Lin Yun's brilliant plan.

How do you know that you are not living a good life now?

"I'm sorry to have caused General Lu so much trouble! It seems that Lin Yun holds a grudge against me and has been wanting to kill me!"

Lu Zongqing stared at him meaningfully without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through Li Mu's inner thoughts.

But Li Mu is a man who has experienced many ups and downs, so how dare he reveal his true identity in front of him?
At this time, Tang Jingde stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since the other party is here to cause trouble for the Eighth Sage King, we should let the Eighth Sage King personally come forward to resolve the matter!"

Lu Zongqing's eyes lit up: "Oh? Mr. Tang, tell me the specific plan!"

Tang Jingde sneered, stroked his beard and looked at Li Mu.

“Eighth Wise King, please don’t blame me for being ruthless! To be honest, you can’t gain our trust with your current level! But fortunately, God has given you a chance to prove yourself!”

"Didn't the other party send out 10,000 soldiers to kill you? My prince will give you 20,000 elite soldiers. As long as you personally go out and annihilate the other party, or kill the other party's main general, we promise that we will never doubt your sincerity again! How do you think?"

Li Mu secretly cursed Tang Jingde as an old fox who could come up with such a vicious trick.

Let him and the Da Duan Dynasty kill each other. No matter who wins or loses, it will be Da Duan's loss in the end.

But can he still refuse now?
Although Lu Zongqing didn't say anything, his eyes said it all. As long as Li Mu refused, there would be no good ending.

Li Mu gritted his teeth, slapped the table, and stood up suddenly.

"Okay! Since Mr. Tang has said so! Then I should indeed prove my attitude towards Daqian!"

Lu Zongqing smiled and handed the bamboo gun hanging on his waist to him.

"Eighth Sage King, this General and Mr. Tang are waiting for your triumphant return. We will definitely celebrate your success tomorrow!!"

Li Mu put the bamboo gun on his waist and said seriously: "General Lu, don't worry! There is no need to wait until tomorrow. I will definitely win a great victory before dark!"

After saying this, he ordered his troops to leave under the leadership of the soldier.

Without outsiders, Lu Zongqing asked, "Mr. Tang, are you sure this plan is okay?"

Tang Jingde smiled and said, "Of course! Even if Li Mu pretended to surrender before, as long as he destroys the 10,000 people sent by the Great Duan Kingdom this time, or kills the enemy's main general, it will completely cut off all his escape routes. In the future, he can only serve Daqian obediently!"

“Let’s take a step back. Even if Li Mu can really hide deep enough and choose to continue to endure, the prince can control his life and death at any time!”
