Chapter 61: Prophecy is like smoke

Zhao Shisheng looked at the seal characters on the note, compared the size of the jade with his hand, and said: "Boss, please rest assured, after seven days, the old man will be able to deliver the carved jade to your hands." ”

Li Wenyuan nodded after hearing this, and said, "Okay, I'll bother the old man." After that, he took a group of people and returned to Wu Weijun to see Qiu Niang.

According to the address given by Qiu Niang, Li Wenyuan walked around the alleys of Wuwei County for a long time before finding a very inconspicuous house with a small door. Li Wenyuan was about to step forward and knock on the door, but the door was opened all of a sudden, Li Wenyuan looked intently, it was none other than Qiu Niang who came to open the door.

Li Wenyuan said strangely: "Qiu Niang, are you going out to do something?" ”

Qiu Niang shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm here to greet me, Lord Steward." ”

Li Wenyuan was even more surprised: "Qiu Niang, how do you know that I am coming?" ”

Qiu Niang pointed to the alley in the direction where Li Wenyuan came and said, "Lord Steward, when you were there, I already knew that you were here." ”

Only then did Li Wenyuan react, although this small face looked inconspicuous, it had been run by Qiu Niang into a night owl headquarters with a loose exterior and a tight interior. Presumably Qiu Niang said that when she was at the mouth of the alley, she already knew that her arrival must have been deliberately falsely reported, and she estimated that she might have known it since she entered Wuwei County.

Li Wenyuan smiled at Qiu Niang and said, "Qiu Niang, this is not the place to speak, I wonder if you can take me in to talk in detail?" ”

Qiu Niang looked at the guards behind Li Wenyuan, and did not make a sound, but Li Wenyuan understood what Qiu Niang meant, turned around and said, "You are waiting for me here." Then he entered the courtyard with Qiu Niang.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Wenyuan felt that his heart was very bright. Unlike the narrow alleys outside the courtyard, when you enter the door, you can bypass the entrance and see a wide patio. From time to time, all kinds of people came and went in various rooms, and Qiu Niang introduced to Li Wenyuan with a smile:

"These people are all the civilian staff of my night stalkers, mainly responsible for sorting out the intelligence collected by the spies, often a piece of information in their hands has to be cross-checked by many parties before the final conclusion can be drawn, it can be said that the courtyard where these civilian personnel are located is where the brains of our night stalkers are."

Li Wenyuan listened, nodded and said: "In just about a month, Qiu Niang can do this step, it is already very unexpected for me." Now tell me about the night owls. ”

Qiu Niang nodded, took Li Wenyuan to the back room, pointed to a map on the wall and said: "This is the map of the entire Western Regions, our night owl foundation is still shallow, and now it is already the limit to only extend our tentacles to the periphery of Wuwei County." Of course, Jincheng is still made up of our own people, and our next plan is to extend the tentacles of intelligence to a few counties further to the west. Now in the Western Regions. Only after gaining a firm foothold will we further expand our sources of intelligence to the Turks or the Central Plains. ”

"It's beyond my expectations to have the results I have in such a short period of time, and I have to say that handing over the night owl to you is really the most correct decision for me." Li Wenyuan said with a smile: "It just so happens that since you have expanded your power to the surrounding areas of Wuwei County, then I now have a task for you to complete." ”

Li Wenyuan told Qiu Niang all about his plan and plan: about the ordnance department on Li Liang's side, since Li Wenyuan's scouts went to investigate, Li Wenyuan took out a note from his arms, and what was written on it was the same as the note to Zhao Shisheng, but for the sake of secrecy, the note to Qiu Niang was still written in simplified Chinese that people now can't understand. Qiu Niang took the note, looked at the words on it, and then looked at Li Wenyuan.

Li Wenyuan told her that he wanted her to find more confidants to spread the prophecy on the note to the people, and it was best to find more children to spread such prophecy.

This is a step in Li Wenyuan's plan, prophecy is like smoke is the most difficult to trace, but it is often the most scruple of the courtier. Moreover, as an empire that has ruled the Central Plains for decades, the emperor's various eyeliners and secret agents must be all over the country. As long as the prophecy is said at this time, it will definitely reach the ears of the emperor. There is no need for me to be self-defeating, I have to find a way to let the emperor know, I only need to wait a month or two to write a recital, hand it over to the imperial court, and bring a sentence mentioning the content of the proverb.

What's more, Li Liang's family has lived on the frontier for a long time. After staying in the Western Regions for a long time, how could the emperor not be suspicious of him? Now the emperor just doesn't have a suitable excuse to deal with their family, and now it is rumored that the emperor will definitely not investigate in detail, but will definitely choose to take advantage of this opportunity to completely uproot the Li Rail family that threatens his rule in the Western Regions and eliminate the hidden danger.

And this is exactly what Li Wenyuan wants, as long as he gets rid of Li Rail, who can involve the army in Wuwei County, then he can calmly let those civilian officials stand on his side in Wuwei County. As long as you completely master Wuwei County, then you can cut off the connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains at any time, and then the entire Western Regions will be a piece of meat on your chopping block.

Qiu Niang looked at the prophecy, and she also understood something in her heart. Although she doesn't have as much ambition as Li Wenyuan, and she can't see Li Wenyuan's far-reaching thoughts, she is extremely smart herself, and she vaguely feels that what Li Wenyuan is trying to play in this game of chess is definitely not just Wuwei County.

After Li Wenyuan finished explaining what he asked Qiu Niang to do next, he was just about to get up and leave, but he suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and said to Qiu Niang: "I rescued a girl from the Byzantine Empire in Haishi a few days ago, and he died at the hands of bandits. She has some martial arts herself, and she is also quite scheming. You see what kind of location is right for her. ”

Qiu Niang smiled and said, "You're talking about that little girl named Ellie, right?" You arranged for someone to send her over first, and I knew what you thought. I've seen that little girl, who is naturally charming, and is the most suitable for gathering intelligence among some dignitaries. But I've also heard that your subordinate Zhang Juntai seems to have a good impression of her. I just don't know if Zhang Juntai can accept these things after I arrange for Ellie to do? ”

Li Wenyuan patted his head and said, "Oh, how did I forget Zhang Juntai." I'll tell him that I'm not going to let Ellie do those things for a moment anyway. The top priority is to find some people and let Ellie learn Chinese first. ”
