Faced with King Chu Ding's question, Li Mi also began to think deeply in his heart, he couldn't tell the other party the truth of the matter, let alone tell Zhu Huachi's yang and yin violations, otherwise the plan would be ruined.

After thinking for a while, Li Mi also stabilized his mind and said to King Chuding: "Lord, although the palace is not bad at guarding, it is enough to explain the problem if people set fire to it again and again. ”

"Although the lower officials haven't been able to find out anything, it's always right to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."

King Chu Ding stared at Li Mi for a long time before he calmed down, nodded at Li Mi and said, "What you said is not bad at all, continue to talk to this king, if you come to do this, how to deploy it." ”

Li Mi no longer hesitated, and said to King Chuding: "This Ming plank road is dark Chen Cang, the most important thing is the dark Chen Cang, so the prince wants to select the most trustworthy and powerful cadres to secretly escort Huang Yin, and on the bright side, he is bluffing, the scene is bigger, and those martial artists also follow, so as to play a role in hiding the sky and crossing the sea." ”

"But there is one thing to pay attention to, that is, you can't cover it up, you can't go too far, and the protection force on the surface must have the prince's cronies, or others seem to be cronies."

As soon as Li Mi said this, the King of Chu also laughed and said: "This king really didn't see the wrong person, your kid's eyes are vicious enough, and his heart is also decisive, and he is indeed the material for great things!" ”

"The prince has praised it falsely, but the lower officials don't dare to be the official, I don't know when the prince plans to leave?" When Li Mi heard this, he also asked casually.

King Chuding also seemed to have thought it through, and said to Li Mi: "I have already asked people to prepare, although Wang Shouren's dog thing is not in every way, but he and the great eunuch from Jingshi are excellent obstacles, and it is most suitable for them to escort the bright team together." ”

"They are also in a hurry, and now it is approaching the end of the year, if the weather is acceptable, let's go on the road after the martial arts."

When Li Mi heard this, he also nodded, but he heard King Chu Ding say: "I know your thoughts, this time the emperor may be able to find out those two murderers." ”

"Xiong Tingbi's strategy is not bad, although the palace is in a miasma* Flying dogs jump, but in the end it also has some effect."

Li Mi also asked a little knowingly, and said to King Chuding: "Although Xiong Tingbi's strategy is good, but he still failed to catch those two murderers, what is the effect of what the prince said?" ”

King Chu Ding saw that Li Mi was confused in this matter, and he was also a little proud, after all, he was dignified King Chu, and Li Mi guessed all his thoughts, which was also a matter of hurting his self-esteem.

At the moment, there is something that Li Mi is puzzled about, he wants to show off and take some face back, and immediately said to Li Mi.

"His strategy is good, but he failed to force out those two people, which is a good thing, because this shows that these two people have an extremely close relationship with the thieves in the palace, it is this kind of persecution, the mobilization of the whole people, the entire palace is scraped to the ground, and they are still hiding, which shows that the thieves in the palace are rampant!"

"If they hear that this king is going to send the emperor into Beijing, they will inevitably make some moves, and at that time, they will not only be able to secretly Chen Cang, but they will also be able to catch all the thieves by the way!"

Li Mi actually thought of this a long time ago, but he just saved some face for the king of Chu, so he didn't offer advice, and at this time he also flattered and said: "Wang Yeguo is a clever plan, and the lower officials are also admired." ”

After being praised by Li Mi, King Chu Ding was also overjoyed, although he was in a high position, but after all, he was only a middle-aged man, and he couldn't be as deep as the old fox, so he showed pride on his face.

"You let Xiong Tingbi and others continue to make trouble, and after two days, the king will hold a martial arts exercise, and then send the Huanggang team out of the city.

Although King Chu Ding said it lightly, Li Mi also knew very well that the team on the bright side was very likely to encounter a robbery, which was in great danger, and letting these martial arts warriors accompany him was just to use these scholars to deal with the thieves who robbed the bar.

However, Li Mi did not say anything, but admitted: "What the lord said is extremely true, but the lower officials think that these martial artists have no actual combat experience after all, so it is better to let Guan Chengren, the county governor of Jiangxia, lead a team of officers and soldiers to fight an ambush." ”

"Since you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you should plan early, if you go out of the Wuchang territory, it will not be easy to do......"

Li Mi has the intention to promote Guan Chengren, of course, this is only one reason, even the smallest reason.

King Chu Ding was also a little surprised, I don't know why Li Mi wanted to pick Guan Chengren, after all, looking at the entire Wuchang City, the most worthless thing is only Guan Chengren.

"Do you have an old relationship with Guan Chengren?"

Li Mi was also a little embarrassed, and replied honestly to the king of Chu: "It's just a one-sided relationship, and there is no deep friendship......"

"Then why did you recommend him as the county magistrate of sesame mung beans? There are three divisions in the entire Wuchang City, there are the governor's yamen, and the governor's yamen, which one is not better than Guan Chengren? ”

Faced with the question of the King of Chu, Li Mi did not answer directly, but asked the King of Chu: "Lord Wang, this time the chief eunuch and Wang Shouren and others came to inspect the treasury, I don't know who led the way, and who provided the helper?" ”

When King Chu Ding heard this, he also suddenly realized!

Yes, people from above inspected the warehouse, but weren't they sent by the governor of Huguang and the patrol press to "act for the tiger"?

Although these people hold the authority, but in the end they can't be used by the king of Chu, but Guan Chengren is different, at this time secret, Guan Chengren will never dare to divulge, for him, it is a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he will inevitably work hard, in the words of Li Mi, Jiangxia Zhixian Guan Chengren is the real good and cheap, the most cost-effective!

"That being the case, this favor will be sold by you, bother you to take a trip, tell Guan Chengren all the details, how to ambush him, you also tell him, come back and say hello to this king."

Li Mi was not ambiguous, nodded in response, left the king of Chu, and came to Guan Chengren's side with leakage, telling him everything.

Guan Chengren and Li Mi are also a little involved, earlier in the matter of Kang Chunxia, Guan Chengren also witnessed all the way, people are not bad, but the official position is embarrassing, and the heart is powerless.

Li Mi handed over this errand to him, Guan Chengren was also flattered, he seemed to be a cautious and cautious character, but no one in his position, I believe they can't do better than him.

Now that the opportunity has finally come, how can Guan Chengren let it go, even if he expresses his position to Li Mi, I hope that Li Mi can go back and tell King Chu Ding, this matter will definitely not disappoint the prince!

After returning from Guan Chengren's place, Li Mi gave King Chu Ding's life again, although Xiong Tingbi still made trouble with Zu Dashou and others in the palace, but after all, he failed to force out the two murderers who were hiding.

In this way, at the end of November, King Chuding finally gathered the escort army, prepared for the drill at Dusi Lake, and recalled all the warriors and boarded the ship to participate in the drill.

As mentioned earlier, the imperial court was preparing for the Japanese at the moment, and naval warfare was bound to be the main thing to deal with Japan, so this was also included in the content of the martial arts examination.

In contrast, the southern scholars are superior to the northern scholars, perhaps because they have seen ships since they were children, and they did not get seasick.

After all, the sailor's ship is not something that ordinary people can go on, so even the soldiers in the south don't have many opportunities to really come into contact with the sailor, and they even get on the boat and practice with the sailors.

It is precisely because of this that the king of Chu has attracted martial artists from all over the north and south, and he has to come over thousands of miles to gain knowledge.

Hubei is the land of a thousand lakes, this Wuchang city is also a waterway, the royal city almost the entire Gaoguan Mountain is included in it, there were originally nine lakes in the city, but after so many years, some lakes have gradually shrunk and disappeared.

King Chuding originally wanted to hold the sailor drill in the big lake outside the city, but now in the cold winter, the sailors are also a little unbearable, so they reduce the scale, just use small boats to conduct small-scale drills, and put the battle array drill on the sand table.

He connected Lake Dusi and Ziyang Lake, and let the scholars board the smaller warships, simulating how to board the ships, how to use the hull to cover, attack and defend, and so on.

Although the scale is smaller, it is more compact, and the content is more real and not empty, and many martial artists are also eye-opening.

However, Zu Dashou and several other Liaodong scholars had serious seasickness, although they were barely able to support it, but they were a little embarrassed in the end.

In the gap between the exercises, King Chu Ding organized a firearms competition, after all, there were artillery on the warship, and the sea ship artillery of the Ming Dynasty was the most powerful in the world, and the Spanish Armada and the Royal Fleet of the Dutch at the same time made a detour when they saw the Ming sea ships.

The martial artists are not very unfamiliar with muskets, after all, many of them are the children of the generals, and they also know something about the firearms in the Shenji Battalion.

But after all, understanding is only understanding, and when they go out hunting, they prefer to use traditional archers and eagle dogs rather than carry muskets.

Because the musket would smoke and be loud, it would frighten the prey, and more importantly, the musket explosion rate at that time was very high, and it was not for nothing that many sharpshooters in the Shenji Battalion eventually became one-eyed dragons or blind.

And aiming all year round, and being splashed by the Martian seeds of the arquebus, even if it is not a one-eyed dragon, its eyesight will gradually decline, or one eye will be larger and the other eye small.

In view of the danger of muskets, these noble generals rarely touch guns, and like ordinary people, they have both yearning and fear of muskets.

There was no suspense in this competition, and Li Mi won the lead!

At present, Li Mi has become the hottest figure around King Chu Ding, and there are traces of Li Mi in various actions, and the King of Chu even asked Li Mi to organize martial arts scholars, so Li Mi won the championship, and everyone is used to seeing it.

Although Zhao Guangling is invincible, Xiong Tingbi is low-key and tenacious, and Zu Dashou is arrogant and arrogant, but when it comes to the competition before this martial arts performance, the most popular one is Li Mi, who was the most inconspicuous at first!

The disciples of all the families have now investigated the details of Li Mi, at least they think they are very clear.

It's just that they still can't figure it out, even if Li Mi is close to Wu Weizhong, he has not been in contact with Wu Weizhong for a long time, and he is not training in Wu Weizhong's station, let alone entering Beijing with Wu Weizhong.

How did he get his hands on firearms and be trained to be so skilled and accurate?

People are always strong because of mystery, because they don't know the details, others will be jealous, and Li Mi also won the championship because of the musket competition, so that these martial artists are finally convinced!

If earlier they thought that Li Mi was a flatterer, they won the favor and appreciation of King Chuding, but now in retrospect, Li Mi is not weaker than anyone else in other aspects except for riding and shooting!

The martial arts exercise lasted for three days before it ended, and the scholars from the north and south were also eye-opening, and their hearts were even more full of ambition, and they couldn't wait to open their eyes tomorrow to open their eyes for the spring martial arts exam, and it would be good to go to the battlefield to make contributions!

But Li Mi did not have such agitation, because he knew that he was not the material for war, and he did not participate in martial arts this time to fight, so he became the most calm one.

Seeing that the martial arts show had ended, and the King of Chu had also begun to prepare for the sacrifice of silver, Li Mi had finally waited for Suo Changsheng!
