Chapter 870: Eye of the Storm

"Ordered Li Ji to go north, garrison Pingzhou, and then send an envoy to Goguryeo, and sent a note to Goguryeo to coordinate and find Li Mu."

"The Ministry of Rites immediately drafted a decree and sent a note to Baekje, Silla, and Wa Kingdom to find Li Mu."

"To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses. If there is no news within three months, Datang will take advantage of Goguryeo and Baekje to personally find the Marquis of Luoyang of Datang! ”

Three sentences, containing a thousand messages. The eldest grandson Wuji still wanted to speak, but Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "This is a decision made by me deliberately, and it is not allowed to be discussed anymore, just implement it!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and stopped insisting. Li Shimin is a decisive emperor, and once he decides something, no one can change it.

Coming out of Taiji Palace, Cheng Yanjin dragged Fang Xuanling and had to ask what was going on.

Although Cheng Biting Jin is thick and fine, he is a martial artist after all, and he is still much worse in strategy. Li Shimin's three sentences contained the information, he didn't understand it so thoroughly for a while, and he had to find someone who understood to explain it to him. Usually, even if you have doubts in your heart, you will not drag people to explain. But Cheng Biting Jin is Cheng Biting Jin after all, and he has long forgotten what his face is.

Fang Xuanling had no choice but to explain patiently: "The meaning of the first sentence, Your Majesty suspects that the mastermind behind this matter is Goguryeo. Therefore, Li Ji waved his army to the north, just to tell Goguryeo that the Tang Dynasty was not joking, if they attacked Li Mu, they would fight if they didn't hand over people. Li Ji is a good general, and he has just handed over the grain stock in Qizhou, and grain and grass are not a problem. Even if the fight starts, you can allow time and hold on until reinforcements arrive. If we can't fight it, there will be no problem in holding on to the existing grain and grass until the beginning of spring next year. ”

"When the spring of the next year begins, it will be much easier to mobilize troops and horses from all over the country, and even if it is a decisive battle with Goguryeo, it is not impossible. As for the search for people, it can be said to be a euphemism, or it can be said to be a threat, Your Majesty wants to clean up Goguryeo for a day or two, and there is no need to say it too thoroughly. ”

"The search for the Three Kingdoms is to tell the Three Kingdoms that Datang's determination to find Li Mu, if it is their hand, send it back as soon as possible, otherwise," Fang Xuanling seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and without waiting for Cheng Yanjin to ask, he continued: "Otherwise, salute first and then soldier, in the spring of next year, Datang will not hesitate to start a war on three sides!" ”

Cheng Yanjin had no doubt about Fang Xuanling's analysis, and sighed when he heard the words: "Your Majesty can do it to such an extent for Li Mu, you are really envious of others, huh, old ghost, do you say that Your Majesty knows that Li Mu is Li Jiancheng's son?" ”

"Can Your Majesty not know?" Fang Xuanling snorted: "This is the measure of the king, how can you and I speculate?" ”

"You get it again." Cheng bit Jin and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you!" You civil officials, you are too much and hypocritical! ”

Fang Xuanling smiled angrily: "Cheng Zhijie, you asked me, I won't tell you what I want next time." ”

"If you don't say it, you won't say it!" Cheng Yanjin has always pursued the principle of employing people and handing over people, the question has been asked, and he will turn his face when he turns his face, and the big deal is that when he asks again, he will pay a compensation first.

Watching Cheng Yanjin leave with a big grin, Fang Xuanling glanced back at Taiji Palace, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Is it really that simple? Is the dead man who kidnapped Li Mu really Yin Hongzhi's person?

"Your Majesty has always wanted to conquer Goguryeo-" Fang Xuanling muttered, if Goguryeo can't hand over Li Mulai, in the spring of next year, the Tang Dynasty will really "borrow the way", that is, to start fighting. Moreover, 'the division is famous', 'salute first and then soldier', Li Mu's disappearance is the cause of this battle.

"Your Majesty's city, when did it become so deep?"

Intuition told Fang Xuanling that this matter was strange. But even if the conjecture is true, he will not debunk it. He is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty and a staff member of Li Shimin. The most he can do for Li Mu is appreciation, if there is a conflict between appreciation and the interests of his family and country, what he will choose, it is obvious.

……

Li Mu is like the eye of a typhoon, and the world is already in chaos outside. And Li Mu, who was hiding in the cabin, still ate and drank well, and his attitude was very good.

For the first two days, he was a little worried. But for two days in a row, when it was time to eat, the people in black would deliver food, and Li Mu's heart was relieved.

Delivering meals on time shows that they are not in a hurry to kill. If you want to tear up the ticket, there is no need to give food. After figuring this out, Li Mu is not in a hurry, it is useless to be anxious, the body is the capital, eat and drink well, recuperate, and wait for the opportunity is the right thing. What's the use of being worried, and you can run away without eating or drinking? If there is a chance, the physical strength can't keep up and can't escape, then it's called sadness.

Li Mu can adjust his mentality, Li You can't think so much about him.

Since the day of the fight, I quarreled with Li Mu and hid in the corner. The child was depressed, he only ate a few mouthfuls of food a day, he couldn't drink much water, and his lips were so dry that he had a small mouth.

Li Mu persuaded him a few times, but Li Youli ignored him. Later, Li Mu didn't bother to put a hot face on his cold buttocks, just like you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, if a person begs for death, who can fix it? Not to mention that now, Li Mu is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river when he is unable to protect himself, and he has no spare strength to save others.

One of the things Li Mu thinks about the most in the past few days is who these people are.

He had already noticed something unusual, and the attitude of these people towards Li You made him feel very strange. No matter how Yin Hongzhi hates the Li family and treats Li You, he must have a trace of affection, after all, he is a child who was brought up single-handedly, how can he be so ruthless? Besides, these people paid such a big price, and finally let Li You out, just to humiliate him? This obviously doesn't make sense.

"What the hell is the truthβ€”"

Li Mu thought in his heart, and suddenly the fishing boat shook violently, and Li Mu knew that this was another wave.

Compared to the boundless sea, the fishing boats are really too small. Li Mu has been very worried about whether this fishing boat made of wood will be smashed by a certain big wave. If this happens, it will really be a day that the earth is not spiritual, and you can only wait to feed the sharks.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Li Mu heard some strange sounds, leaned down to the bulkhead of the ship to listen, and said to Li You, the only living person next to him: "Hey, did you hear it, why does it seem like a fight?" ”

Li You opened his eyes, and then he turned around and turned his back to Li Mu: "You are hallucinating, where are the people from this vast sea?" ”

"No, really, really!" Li Mu listened to it again and confirmed: "It must be the sound of weapons colliding, I heard it right, I'm sure!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Li You had basically given up the treatment, and said lazily: "It must be here to save you, congratulations!" ”

"Why are you ......" Li Mu came to Li You, kicked him with his foot, and said, "Cheer up, what if there is really someone?" You have to shout for help, right? ”

Li You sighed, perfunctory and as if angry, pulled his neck and shouted: "Help, helpβ€”"

As soon as the second voice fell, the hatch above his head was opened. A person looked over and said in an urn voice, "There are still people?" Come out! ”

"Why is it so familiar-" Li Mu's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted, "Big man, is it you?" ”

"Big, big?"

Li Chongyi was stunned for two seconds when he heard Li Mu's voice, he thought he was hallucinating, until he pinched himself, he was sure that it was not an auditory hallucination, and he was overjoyed when he boarded, so he was about to jump into the cabin. But the cabin of this fishing boat, the hatch is very small, if it is compared to Li Chongyi, I am afraid that only one leg can come in!

"Hurry to death!" Li Chongyi pulled out the big axe behind his back, picked it up and slashed it hard, the hatch was shattered, and the opening was more than doubled. But Li Chongyi couldn't get in, because the lower warehouse of the fishing boat was too short, and he couldn't get in.

"Big brother, you wait for me, I'll split this ship."

Li Chongyi said, there was about to pick up the father and son, Li Mu hurriedly stopped it, and said, "Come again, this boat will crack." Reach out and pull me up! ”

"Huh!" Li Chongyi stretched out his hand to Li Mu and grabbed it, and he dragged Li Mu up as if it were effortless.

"There's one more." Li Mu pointed to the cabin, and Li Chongyi stretched out his hand again and picked Li You up. Li Chongyi knew Li You, and when he saw that it was him, he couldn't help but wonder very much, why did the eldest brother get mixed up with this person?

But he didn't think about it, because compared to this, he was more puzzled about how he could see Li Mu here.

"You're β€”β€”?" Li Mu also wondered why he met him here, it stands to reason that Li Chongyi should have protected Li Ji-eun in Silla.

"Big brother, didn't you receive the news?"

"What message did I get!" Li Mu said angrily: "I received the news, it is impossible to come like this, right?" Smuggling! ”

Li Chongyi didn't understand what smuggling was, and seeing that Li Mu didn't receive the news, he also understood what was going on, and explained: "Big brother, the king of Silla is dead, and Silla is in civil strife. I came out with the palace guards, grabbed a boat, and was about to go back to Datang, but I didn't want to meet a boat here. I thought I was here to intercept us, and when I saw that there was only one boat, I thought about coming over and killing them, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”

"Civil strife in Silla?" Li Mu hurriedly asked, "What about Zhi'en?" Where is she? ”

Li Chongyi pointed behind him, a boat was not far away, and he couldn't see clearly through the fog: "Seeing that the boat was small, I rowed over alone, and everyone else was still on that boat, and Li Zhien was also there." ”

"Nonsense!" Li Mu glanced at the boat rowed by Li Chongyi and said, "Can this boat carry three people?" ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go!" Li Mu pointed at Li You, Li Chongyi picked Li You up, and the three of them jumped into the boat. There is still food and fresh water on the head of this fishing boat, and I will come back to move it later.

After a while, Li Mu came to the boat where Li Zhien was. Coincidentally, Li Zhien came to the bow of the boat to ventilate, and saw Li Mu climb up from the side of the boat, and the whole person was stupid when he boarded.

"I'm not hallucinating?" Li Zhien pinched herself, and the pain came to her mind, but she laughed, opened her arms like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, and threw herself into Li Mu's arms.

"Xianggong!" Li Zhien hugged very tightly, eager to rub herself into Li Mu's body, she looked up at Li Mu's bearded chin and glanced at it, confirmed that it was her father-in-law, and then cried and laughed: "It's really you, Xianggong, I know that you won't leave me alone, you will definitely come to save me." ”

Li Mu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he didn't come to save people this time, but it was true that he was rescued. finally calmed down Li Zhien, and Li Mu told her what happened to her. After Li Zhien heard this, he glared angrily at Li You, and ordered his guards, "Throw him into the sea for me!" ”

"No!"

Immediately, two Silla samurai stepped forward and were about to drag Lee Woo away. Li Mu hurriedly stopped and said, "It's the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, so let Your Majesty deal with him." ”

Li Zhien gave up at this time, Li Mu asked Li Chongyi to find a place for Li You to rest, and then asked about the situation on Li Zhien's side.

It happened half a month ago, Li Zhien's father, King Zhenping, couldn't hold on any longer, and ran out of oil and died. Before he died, he had already done his best, entrusted everything, and prepared three ministers to take care of his life, just so that Li Zhien could take over smoothly.

But how can it be so easy.

After the death of King Zhenping, the government and the opposition almost disagreed with Li Zhien taking over the throne. The reason is also direct, Li Zhien is a woman. Since ancient times, there has been no woman to take over the throne, not in Silla, and not in the Central Plains. Such old-fashioned people account for about eighty percent. Immediately, two Silla samurai stepped forward and were about to drag Lee Woo away. Li Mu hurriedly stopped and said, "It's the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, so let Your Majesty deal with him." ”
