Liu Zuxiang nodded when he heard Li Xie say this: "As far as doing things for the official is concerned, there is nothing wrong with you doing this, but although the four of us are not mutually rebellious, we can also be regarded as friends, in fact, you can say it first, and we will discuss it." ”

"It's not that I can't believe a few people, it's just that it's useless to say this, we can't do anything at all, and it just adds to our troubles." After Li Xie explained, everyone fell silent......

Hu Guoshi left to send people outside the city to determine the water potential, and sent people to the lower reaches of the Long River to investigate, but he did not make a noise.

Chen Pingqing came to the palace directly with the book and told Li Zhanji about Li Xie's analysis: "From this aspect alone, this speculation will come true nine times out of ten, the middle and lower reaches of the Dragon River are the Chu, Cao, Tao, and Liu families, and the Cao family has long had different intentions, and it is indeed possible to suppress this matter and not report it, and use this matter to rebel." ”

"It's too early to say all this, presumably the national poem has already begun to let people investigate. Let's wait until news comes in. Li Zhanji agreed with Chen Pingqing's view, but did not give any orders. After all, he is a superior person, and he thinks more about all aspects.

What is the fastest speed of traffic or animal for people in this era?

Horse?

No, no, no!

For a world with "qi", "qi" is definitely a super cheat. As long as you get along with "qi", it is equivalent to having a cheat.

For the people of this world, the people whose "qi" attribute belongs to the acceleration class are recognized as the fastest in the world. Ma Xiaoer is this kind of person.

His talent for refining "qi" is not very good, after years of cultivation, he is still just a second-rate character, but it doesn't matter, his "qi" is absolutely running acceleration, as long as he runs thousands of miles a day, there is absolutely no exaggeration.

So after entering the imperial court, he became a scout, responsible for transmitting information and finding out news, because his talent is much more powerful than ordinary people, so he climbed to his current position step by step, and there are more than 800 people under his hands.

This time he received a very strange task, it turned out to be to run directly downstream along the Dragon River, and report the water flow, logically speaking, such a task is very simple, and it is not his turn to do it at all.

But the strange thing is that there is a time limit for this task, and the sooner the better. In addition, the person who issued this task is the top part of the current imperial court, and the reward after completing it is not low, twenty taels of real money and silver.

For the sake of his future career, he patted the ass of the boss, and at the same time for his own purse, Ma Xiaoer took over this job that was purely a coolie.

Starting along the branch of the Dragon River outside Luotianfu, Ma Xiaoer explored all the way in the direction of the water, and he was gradually shocked by the scene he saw.

It's not that he hasn't seen the Dragon River, on the contrary, because of this business, Ma Xiaoer has crossed the Dragon River more than once, but he has never seen this scene of the Dragon River.

The already yellowing water of the Dragon River is as dark as mud at this time, and the river water is rushing endlessly, and the rolling and dancing waves are two or three meters high, and the sound is very terrifying.

In the past, Ma Xiaoer didn't understand why this river was called the Dragon River, but now he seems to understand a little.

The scene of the churning of the river is like the wrath of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and his earth-shattering roar seems to drown the entire world.

So far, Ma Xiaoer is not even walking near the riverbank, let alone walking by the river. Those who have not seen this scene will never know how small a person is under the majesty of heaven and earth.

After a few days of running, the river gradually becomes less turbulent, but the river seems to grow infinitely. Ma Xiaoer looked at the flooded village and knew that he didn't have to go any further.

Because he seems to have understood what exactly he wants to explore, but in order to better complete the task. He gritted his teeth and walked on, disguised as a refugee, searching the river for the crowd.

He had been walking for several days now, and because of the flooding of the river, he didn't recognize the terrain at all, and he didn't know where he had been. But based on the speed of the river, Ma Xiaoer knew that he should have reached the middle and lower reaches.

The terrain here is flat, and once the river overflows, the spread is very wide.

Since there were no people walking in the direction of the river, it must have been that these people had already moved to higher ground.

So Ma Xiaoer searched along the river bank in the direction of higher terrain, because he was looking for someone, so the speed of walking was not fast, and this search was another day.

Finally, in the evening, the hungry and tired Ma Xiaoer finally saw the shadow of the person again. However, he also made immediate contact with these people, but carefully observed the periphery.

The river flooded to such an extent that Luo Tianfu had no news at all, and Ma Xiaoer's years of experience as a scout told him that there must be a big secret in it.

After observation, he found that the group of people on the periphery were well-trained, and although they dressed like refugees, they walked and sat down in an extremely regular manner.

This is not something that refugees can do at all, if you have to say who these people look like, then Ma Xiaoer feels that the military is more in line with the image of these people.

After discovering this, Ma Xiaoer quietly lurked in, and after entering, Ma Xiaoer found that although this group of people were wearing ordinary people's clothes outside, they all had sharp weapons inside.

Seeing this situation, Ma Xiaoer hurriedly withdrew and rushed to the direction of Luotianfu, and on the way back, Ma Xiaoer found two or three refugees in the same costume again. And these refugees are still going in the direction of Luotianfu.

When passing by a small county town, Ma Xiaoer even found that there were no military flags in the county seat. Even if it is a small county, there will be a small army stationed there.

But whenever there is an army stationed, there must be a military flag, and now there is not even a military flag in the county seat, which is really too weird.

Investigating here, Ma Xiaoer knew that the matter was serious, so serious that it could not be delayed for a moment. For all indications already indicate that the rebellion is already underway without even knowing it.

When Hu Guoshi received the reply, he was so frightened that he almost pulled off his beard, obviously it was just a move to probe the water potential, and he actually pulled out a rebellion by the way.

Hu Guoshi did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately reported the matter truthfully to Emperor Li Zhanji. Li Zhanji could not have imagined that the situation had unknowingly become so severe.

He knew that the five families in the middle and lower reaches of the Dragon River were extremely restless. It is also possible to use this incident to incite a popular uprising, but he could never have imagined that they would have sent troops to attack without him even noticing.
