"Zhou Daowu, how is the soldier's drill?" Under the flickering candle flame, Li Ke's hands were trembling slightly. He was desperately trying to suppress his emotions and try to look calm.

Because what he is about to face is a choice between life and death. Either live to die and ascend to the throne to glory and wealth. Either....... Die! There will be no third option! After planning for so long and enduring for so many years, it is impossible for him to have no way out!

"Your Highness, the soldiers have been trained for more than five years, except for the Praetorian Guards whose weapons are slightly inferior to those of Chang'an City, the rest, we are not bad!" Zhou Daowu stood in a dark corner and said coldly. He was standing right in the shadows, and it was hard to see his expression, but just hearing his voice made people feel chills in their hearts, as if this person's indifference made people's hearts tremble!

Li Ke set his eyes on Yang Qingzheng again, and Yang Qingzheng hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Highness, this battle must be a quick battle, and the logistics supply of grain and grass is worry-free. And we have figured out the topographic map of the periphery of the hunting grounds, and here it is. After speaking, Yang Qingzheng presented the topographic map of the periphery of the hunting ground and spread it out in front of Li Ke.

Li Ke only glanced at the map, then withdrew his gaze and turned to look at another person in the corner who was shrouded in shadows. "What about you, Master?"

Leng Yueqing's cold voice came from the darkness: "I don't know what His Highness commands?" There is no congregation of Our Lady who can lend you to fight. ”

Leng Yueqing's words made Li Ke frown slightly, and he said with some displeasure: "Sect Master Leng, at this time, do you still want to pretend to be confused with this king?" The control of those cities in the north ......"

"Your Highness, Yueqing didn't pretend to be confused with you. It is true that some of those cities in the north are under our control, but I am afraid that it is not the same as your Highness thinks. ”

Li Ke's eyelids jumped suddenly, those cities in the north were of great significance to him. For once he succeeds, there will be many people in the world who will not submit to his rule. At this time, he needed a group of supporters, and it just so happened that the northern city had been destroyed by war seven years earlier, and many of the officials who had been installed in it were him, or people from the Church of Our Lady. With the support of these people, his hegemony can be stabilized.

The most important thing is that those cities in the north are all important military defense towns, with a large number of garrisons, and in the event of a war, they can immediately mobilize troops to enter Chang'an, such an important place, and now Leng Yueqing actually told him that it was different from what he imagined? Trick him?

"How is it different?" Li Ke forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and still asked patiently.

"It depends on how His Highness understands, we did control some officials with addiction drugs, but addiction drugs can only force their will, but they can't exchange their loyalty, so it is unknown whether they are willing to give up their lives for His Highness at the moment of life and death."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can force them to submit to me." Li Ke waved his hand and suppressed the topic, and then took a deep look at the place where Leng Yueqing was standing, a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and then he looked around again and asked, "Everyone, who has any opinions on things tomorrow?" ”

The crowd was silent. Li Ke clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" In this case, everyone comes up, this is the topographic map of the hunting ground, how to lead the troops to attack tomorrow, please give me an idea! ”

An hour later, all the people gathered in Li Ke's study dispersed, and everyone had a trace of depression on their faces.

Whether it is glory and wealth or underground grievances depends on what happens tomorrow. To say that there is no tension and no pressure is a lie, in fact, many people here are shaking their legs when they walk out of the study. It's just that some people hide it well, and some people show it clearly.

When Leng Yueqing left, she was left alone by Li Ke, and now in the study, there are only her and Li Ke.

"Your Highness, I don't know what to do with me here?"

Li Ke played with the fan in his hand, looked at Leng Yueqing playfully, and said, "Sect Master Leng is so direct, then I will say it directly." I want you....... Assassinate the Emperor tomorrow! ”

Leng Yueqing frowned, did not speak, and stared at Li Ke closely.

Li Ke smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand Sect Master Leng, just because among so many people, only Sect Master Leng has the highest martial arts, and Sect Master Leng has learned first-class light skills, so there should be no pressure to assassinate the emperor while there is chaos, right?" ”

"Hehe, Your Highness really looks up to me, doesn't Your Highness know that Your Majesty has two masters around you to protect you? The skills of both of them are no less than, let alone the two of them joining forces? Besides, Yueqing has already done everything agreed, and there is no need to take this risk. ”

Li Ke's face changed, "You mean, those two old immortals will also come?" It's impossible, the two of them are addicted to Danjutsu, and they basically won't come to the safari! ”

Leng Yueqing smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, what if they come?" Until tomorrow, everything is unknown. ”

"Humph! Two old men who can only practice Dan! Although Li Ke said this, his heart was still a little blocked, he had seen the power of the two of them, so he was a little uncertain.

"Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will go back first!" As soon as Leng Yueqing turned around, Li Ke behind him said coldly: "Slow! ”

"Sect Master Leng, don't you think that everyone will block their lives tomorrow, and it is a bit inappropriate for you to be alone and alone?"

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Regardless of whether those two old immortals are there tomorrow, you will be in the hunting ground, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate the emperor!"

"Your Highness, I have completed the agreement, and I can't do what you asked!" Leng Yueqing responded strongly.

Li Ke's smile gradually cooled, and there was a hint of murder in his tone. "So, do you not want to listen to this king?"

"Your Highness, you and I are just a cooperative relationship, I am not your lackey, there is no need to listen to you for everything. Besides, I've been delivering on my promises, but what about yours? So far, nothing has been delivered! ”

"Humph! This king said it! When the king takes down the country, you can give you whatever you want! But now that this king is at the most critical time, if you don't help, how can you keep your promise? ”

Leng Yueqing didn't reply, just glanced at Li Ke, then turned around and pushed the door out.

Li Ke's eyes were cold, and he said loudly outside the house: "Leng Yueqing, if you don't know how to lift again, don't blame this king for being polite!" ”

Leng Yueqing ignored him, and still walked out taking care of herself. When he walked to the courtyard, he suddenly heard Li Ke in the house shouting: "Someone! ”

Dozens of guards in armor suddenly rushed out of the courtyard, holding bows and crossbows to surround Leng Yueqing.

"Leng Yueqing! Don't be ignorant! If you are willing to follow this king obediently, this king will grant you a lifetime of glory and wealth! But if you insist on going against this king, don't blame this king's men for showing no mercy! ”

Leng Yueqing glanced at Li Ke, and suddenly smiled coquettishly: "Your Highness, is this your method?" ”

"Humph!" Li Ke knew that Leng Yueqing couldn't change his mind, although he really wanted to keep Leng Yueqing by his side, but the big thing was imminent, and no mistakes were allowed, at this time, he couldn't care so much, and wanted to use extraordinary means to "stay" Leng Yueqing.

"Leng Yueqing, I hope your face is still there, and this king can still spare your life!" Li Ke smiled cruelly, waved his hand and gave the order fiercely, "Leave her!" ”
