Chapter 39: The Leaked Secret
I have to say that to a certain extent, Bai Guanyu and the county master are truthful, even if there are twists and turns, but it is true that Ling Feng's current identity is different from before, and his position is also different, so Bai Guanyu's imagination is also very well-founded.
But what is going on in this matter, who can say clearly, right and wrong, right and wrong, is just dominated by people's subjective consciousness. Therefore, if there is no reason, there is no basis for making conclusions, unless people have gone to extremes or have reached the point where all the grass and trees are soldiers. And now Zhu Youyi has fallen into such a situation.
"Hmph, the Meng family is really my loyal ministers, and they actually turned against each other like this, if someone hadn't told me, would I have waited until they opened the imperial door to see their true faces? Hmph, General Meng actually came to preach to me, it seems that it is just for show, it seems that I am too kind to them. The Meng family has also been in Shenwu City for so long, it seems that the comfortable days have been too long and they have begun to want to look for exciting things, and they want to resist me, hehe, Lan, spread my will, and ask the Yuhe Army to lead 100,000 soldiers outside Shenwu City, and let the prime minister go and tell the people of the Meng family that I want to return their military power. If they don't do anything, I'll spare their lives, or else I'll kill them. Zhu Youyi's distorted face was particularly terrifying.
"Your Majesty, Lan feels that this matter is not as stated in the letter, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" Even if Lan knew that persuasion at this time was tantamount to plucking the hair of a tiger in the irritable period, if he didn't persuade him, something would happen at that time, and he would be scolded as his subordinates.
"When did Lan understand that he had disobeyed my will, my country was not over yet, so if you wanted to betray me, I would make you unable to survive." Zhu Youyi's eyes reflect the persistence and ruthlessness, which makes people tremble.
"Lan doesn't dare, please listen to me, the Meng family has always been a loyal servant of the empire, and also guarded Shenwu City for His Majesty, Shenwu City is the closest city to the capital of the empire, once Your Majesty let the Neng family send back the military power, then I am afraid that the Meng family will rebel, although the people of Shenwu City are His Majesty's people, but they are very good with the Meng family, if the Meng family rebels, then we will be really in trouble." And now the empire only has 100,000 soldiers and horses in the national capital, if they are all sent out, what if the army of the Dragon Kingdom takes the opportunity to enter at that time, so I implore Your Majesty to think twice" Lan knelt in front of Zhu Youyi, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhu Youyi's face at all, and now he was only afraid that he would cross the river with a mud bodhisattva. If Zhu Youyi is angry, his head will be moved.
"Hehe, how dare he?" Having said that, Zhu Youyi obviously knew something. Indeed, if you act recklessly, I am afraid that the Meng family will fight back at that time, Lan is right, you still have to be scrupulous about what you should scruple about, but Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· There is no wind and no waves, and the military power is indeed much safer in his own hands. "Lan, pass on my will, you immediately take 30,000 soldiers to Shenwu City, remember, you can't let people know, you must bring back the military power, if General Meng gives it himself, spare them from death, otherwise, you will be killed." Zhu Youyi said ruthlessly.
"Yes, the subordinates will do it immediately. The subordinates are currently retired. Lan said cautiously, and only retreated after getting Zhu Youyi's signal.
ββββββββI'm a lovely dividing lineββββββ "Report to the general, there are a large number of imperial soldiers outside the city, it seems that the people who come are not good, and the subordinates don't know whether to put them in when they look at it, after all, this is a special period, and the leading soldiers have never seen it." Therefore, I hope that the general will decide. "The soldiers defending the city reported urgently.
"What? A large number of imperial soldiers? I have never heard from the imperial capital that His Majesty sent troops, what is going on. How many people are there? Meng Niancao asked.
"There are about 30,000 horses, and I don't know if I want to let them in." The soldier defending the city asked.
"I'll take a look with you, Gu Chun, you go and gather the soldiers immediately, I'm afraid that the people who really come are not good, and there may be a tough battle to fight at that time." It's best not to fight as much as possible, but I'm afraid that the empire is already suspicious. After Meng Niancao finished speaking, he hurriedly left with the soldiers guarding the city. A group of people with surprised faces were left behind.
"How is it possible, where did the Empire know about that night?" And it was still our cronies that night, and if it was their news, I wouldn't believe it.
"Don't think about it. It's not your people, it should be the county master. If that's the case, it all makes sense. Li Yun still looked so calm, it seems that there is really what kind of landlord has what kind of subordinates.
"What do you mean? What makes sense? Ling Feng asked.
"Yesterday, after Bai Guanyu left, he went to the county government again, and soon after he came out, someone from the county government came out, and he also went out of the city and went to the imperial capital. Presumably, it should be that the county magistrate knows something, or that he knows that you are fine, and you are in General Meng's mansion, so he went to chew the root of your tongue to your majesty, and then at the point where your majesty is now a soldier, the slightest accident may not be allowed, so he should be here to return the military power, but he is afraid that you may betray the empire, so he can only take the soldiers and horses, in case of emergency, and can only forcibly return the military power, so it makes sense that there are so many soldiers and horses outside the city now. Li Yun took the teacup and took a sip slowly.
"How do you know these things?" Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. Three more points of defense against Li Yun.
Li Yun saw Ling Feng's precautions in his eyes, but he didn't take them to heart. "The empire started so early, even if Shenwu City did not have the same oppression as other places with the support of the Meng family, but there are still loopholes to exploit, our people have been here for many years, and it is still possible to know the movements of a small county government, but don't ask me who I am, I won't tell you. Also, since the master values the Meng family, it is natural that he will not harm the interests of the Meng family, otherwise I would not be here. Li Yun said with a faint smile.
"Why didn't your master directly attack Shenwu City?" Ling Feng asked what he had always wanted to know.
"This is what your master said, if you want to persuade the Meng family, you will come to help, my master just happened to have the intention of persuading the surrender, so he responded. Otherwise, it will take some effort to attack Shenwu City. But for us it is not a problem at all. But my master is really tolerant of your master! Li Yun said meaningfully.
"Don't provoke the feelings between me and the master, even if the master means, then the master may have his deep meaning, not to mention that I believe in the master's wisdom and insight." Ling Feng retorted lightly.
"I didn't mean to provoke, it's just that your master is really curious, and my master is not so keen on dating anyone again!" Li Yun said. "I'm going to rest, if you need help, you're welcome, I don't know anything, but it's not bad to fight!"
This made many people angry for a while, "You get out." β
Li Yun didn't linger either, leaving only a dashing back.
"Ling Feng, this matter seems to be really urgent, I will immediately go and gather the soldiers." After Meng Guchun finished speaking, he planned to leave.
"I'm going with you, I'm here to persuade you to surrender, this matter is inseparable from me, I'll go too, see if I can help something?" Ling Feng also followed.
After the two left, there were only Meng Nianzhou and his son.
"It seems that we underestimate the Dragon Kingdom, they have long had the idea of annexing the Empire. We all have their people here, and they won't be left behind if they want to come to the imperial capital, it seems that this decision is correct, and it's really scary for such a country to confront them. Meng Nianzhou said.
Meng Guqi sighed and said, "I'm even more shocked by Brother Ling Feng's trust in his master. But I'm curious, too. β
"Well, it seems that there are still a lot of interesting things in the future." Meng Nianzhou said.
