Chapter 82 The icing on the cake
Li Si's heart sank completely to the bottom, and the expression on his face became extremely gloomy.

Unexpectedly, Murong Liancheng usually hid in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry camp and never showed any edge.

But he chose to take action at this time!
Moreover, with the glory and prestige of defending the border for many years, Li Si was unable to fight back!

When the generals heard his words, they all nodded.

Except for Fang Sheng and Fu Hao, everyone only looked at Li Si.

Li Si glanced at all the generals in the tent and took a deep breath.

It seems that the commander-in-chief will not be able to establish his authority in the camp today!

However, there is still a long way to go...

Thinking of this, he was silent for a while, but a smile slowly appeared on his face.

The smile was peaceful and natural.
Seems quite sincere.

But when Murong Liancheng saw the smile on his face, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Just because your enemy hides his claws and smiles at you doesn't mean he won't attack you again, but he may just be forbearing temporarily.

What awaits you is definitely a more insidious and ferocious attack!

"What the old general said is absolutely right. Let's follow his advice!"

Li Si smiled and said slowly:
"Li Mu, the centurion of the Death Row Battalion, is temporarily transferred to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Xie Lang is exempted from the three hundred military sticks and demoted to a sergeant."

After saying that, he stood up, bowed to Murong Liancheng, turned around and walked out of the tent.

……

Ping Pong Pong...

In Li Si's living room, the sound of various objects breaking could be heard continuously.

Fang Sheng and Fu Hao stood outside the door and looked at each other. They waited until the sound of things breaking inside stopped before they walked in.

However, the pretty maid who was usually very favored and always served Li Si had a swollen face and was kneeling on the side crying silently.

After venting his anger, Li Si seemed to have gradually calmed down. He was sitting in a chair with a gloomy expression, and his eyes still radiated unextinguished anger.

"How dare you, old man Murong, bully me like this!"

Seeing Fang Sheng and Fu Hao walk in, Li Si gritted his teeth and said:

"I thought he was already half buried in the ground and would definitely know what to do, but who knew he would intervene at this critical moment!"

Fang Sheng nodded:

"General Murong's intervention at this time really caught us off guard!"

"And he has too much prestige in Tiangu Pass, and all the generals in the pass respect him. If the general insists on killing Li Mu, I'm afraid it will only cause trouble!"

Fu Hao smiled and said:
"General, there is no need to be upset. After all, General Murong is old, and the commander of Tiangu Pass is a general!"

"We have a long way to go..."

After hearing what the two said, Li Si's anger gradually subsided.

After a moment of silence, he sneered:
"Old Murong will be finished sooner or later, and the Third Prince will ascend the throne sooner or later! If the generals of Tiangu Pass are sensible, they will know who to cling to!"

"However, the most important thing right now is how to explain to the Third Prince!"

At the beginning, he assured Li Tai that Li Mu would not be able to come back alive if he led a team of less than ten people deep into the northern desert.

But unexpectedly, Li Mu not only came back safe and sound, but also brought back Wugutuhan's head.

Now, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have joined!

Although Li Mu is now the commander of Tiangu Pass, he can command all the troops of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Death Row Camp.

But the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

Li Mu is in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so it will be very difficult to kill him secretly!

Fu Hao hesitated for a moment and said:

"General, why don't you just report the truth!"

"Report the truth?"

Li Si was slightly startled, as if he had not thought of what Fang Sheng was planning. If he reported the truth, the Third Prince would surely be furious.

How would I bear his anger then?

Fu Hao smiled slightly and said:
"Not only must you report the truth, but you must also write a memorial to the emperor!"

"General, you can write in the memorial that it was His Royal Highness the Third Prince who planned and ordered us to make plans at Tiangu Pass first, and then sent the Death Row Battalion and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to break through the barbarian camp, forcing Wugutu to flee to Mobei."

"Then, we followed the Third Prince's orders and had the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry cooperate with Li Mu to kill the Barbarian King Wugutu!"

Li Si seemed to understand something:
"You mean to give all the credit to the Third Prince?"

Fu Hao nodded:

"That's right. The Third Prince is the regent. What is missing?"

There was a gleam in Li Si's eyes and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

What Fu Hao said is correct.

The third prince recently seized power and Crown Prince Li Mu was deposed. In fact, there are still many voices of opposition in the court.

Deposing the eldest and enthroning the youngest is the way to chaos. It was difficult for Li Tai to ignore this sentence.

What Li Tai lacks now is the reputation and merit to shock the court!

If Li Si's achievement of breaking through the barbarian camp, driving the barbarians to the far north, and then killing the barbarian king Wugutu Khan was attributed entirely to Li Tai.

The third prince should be very happy.

Even if he failed to kill Li Mu, at least he wouldn't be too angry.

As for Li Mu, I’ll find a way to kill him later!

"General Fu is indeed full of clever ideas!"

Li Si smiled and nodded:

"It's up to you!"

……

In the palace, Li Tai looked at the memorial in his hand, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

On the side, Cao Guang looked at his expression carefully.

After a long time, Li Tai smiled coldly:
"This Li Si not only brought Li Mu back safely, but also brought back Wugutu's head!"

"Now, he is afraid that I will punish him, so he gave all the credit for planning to me. This guy is not stupid!"

As he spoke, he handed the memorial in his hand to Cao Guang.

Cao Guang took the memorial, read it carefully, and couldn't help but smile.

"General Li Si is a timely help. The crown prince has been deposed, and there are many voices of opposition in the court. The third prince is in need of some extraordinary feat to silence the public!"

"He gave the Third Prince the great feat of driving out the barbarian soldiers and beheading the barbarian king. It was indeed a good idea!"

Li Tai snorted, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

"But, this Li Mu..."

Cao Guang smiled faintly:
"It's just a trapped beast in a cage. There's no need to worry, Third Prince!"

"Although he could have killed Wugutu Khan with only ten criminal soldiers, Li Si has already said that this guy was lucky and got help from the wolf tribe on the grassland, so he was able to kill Wugutu."

"Now that he has returned to Tiangu Pass, he is naturally afraid that the Third Prince will harm his mother. After all, it was he who promised to do so within a year!"

"Now that he has made great contributions and has been transferred to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I think it would be better to go with the flow and appoint him as the centurion of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and give him the title of baron!"

Hearing his words, Li Tai couldn't help but frowned, looking unhappy:
"Eunuch, he has already been demoted to a commoner, why do you still want to confer him a title?"

Cao Guang smiled:
"If he is not given a title, how can he go to Fallen Immortal Lake as a baron of Qian Country?"

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this.
After a while, a smile gradually spread across his face.

"My Lord, you are right. Fallen Immortal Lake is such a great place. It is exactly where Li Mu should go!"

"It would be appropriate to let him die in the Fallen Immortal Lake as the last baron of the Qian Kingdom!"
