Qin Gu received the news of the mutiny in the state city, and it was already this morning. The soldiers stationed at the east gate of the state city were defeated by Team C and fled to the east city, and told the Fushi County and the left camp the news of the mutiny in the state city last night, Qin Gu was shocked and immediately realized that this matter was directly related to the detention of Li * by the Jiedu Mansion yesterday, he went straight to the left camp to find Liao Jianzhong, and forced him to raise his troops and horses to cross the Yan River to the east gate of the state city, he called himself the commander of the county of Fushi, but the soldiers guarding the city gate did not know him, so he naturally refused to let him enter the city, and was delayed outside the city for nearly an hour. If it weren't for Li, who was in charge of patrolling the streets and suppressing public security, he would have been blocked outside the east gate until now.

Although Li Hu knew that Qin Gu was his own person, but without Li *'s order, he did not dare to put the entire left battalion into the city without authorization, and as a result, there was a dispute at the city gate, Li Hu led seven or eight C team soldiers to resolutely block the left battalion from the state city, Qin Gu said no matter what he said, Li Hu only had one sentence, before my eldest brother gave the order, not a single soldier of the left battalion was allowed to enter the city, who dared to take a step forward, and it would be killed.

Therefore, before coming to Jiedu Mansion, Qin Gu's stomach was already full of evil fire, and when he saw Li * at this moment, he suddenly had a seizure. In fact, he knew most of what happened yesterday, and he also understood that he was only afraid of complaining about Li*. However, this morning's terrifying situation made him very worried, Li * actually controlled the entire state city with a small team of troops, this kind of power is too terrifying, there has never been such a terrifying armed force in the history of Yanzhou, if this force cannot be channeled well, I am afraid that its destructive power is even more terrible than its combat effectiveness.

Moreover, Qin Gu was also very worried about Li * himself, he was worried that Li * would be carried away by the victory in front of him and hurt the lives of Gao's father and son in a fit of anger, then the matter would be really troublesome. The Gao family has been in the army and government in Yanzhou for five years, although there is no good governance with the people, and there is no record with the army, but after all, in the eyes of the imperial court, it is still a feudal town that can control the situation in Yanzhou, if Li * kills them, the court is worried that the situation in Yanzhou will collapse, and it is even more worried that the party will lose the barrier in the south, and he is afraid that he will immediately order the army to enter Yanzhou to control the situation.

Therefore, he was worried and angry, so as soon as he entered the mansion, he gave Li * a dismissal.

At this moment, seeing Li * speaking sincerely at Liao Jianzhong, his heart had already softened. Although Li * knelt down to speak to Liao Jianzhong, he knew that Li * was talking to himself.

Seeing Liao Jianzhong standing there helpless and unable to say half a word, he sighed secretly in his heart, he will be born, tiger and mouse are different, the same is an officer with soldiers, Liao Jianzhong is several levels older than Li *, and the people under his command are three to four times as many, but there is no such shocking and solemn tiger power as Li *.

He bent down, slowly helped Li * up, and said in a low voice: "Huairen doesn't have to be like this, there are all your soldiers around, you will cry like this, what kind of body will you become......"

He paused, his expression became nervous again, he grabbed Li *'s arm and couldn't help but exert his strength, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "...... in the waiter?" ”

Lee* knew what he was worried about, and his eyes looked into his eyes with great sincerity and replied earnestly, "All right!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Gu's breath was relieved, and he suddenly felt that his whole body was out of strength, and his feet were soft for a while, he shook it before he stood firm, and laughed bitterly at himself: "It's me who is suspicious, Huairen is definitely not a person who doesn't know the overall situation, and he is still more accurate than me when he observes people!" ”

Lee* looked at him and did not answer.

Qin Gu raised his head and asked again, "What about Gao Yanei?" ”

Li * smiled: "It's okay!" ”

Qin Gu nodded, held Li *'s hand with both hands, and shook it heavily: "Fortunately, you are sober-minded......"

Li* glanced at Liao Jianzhong, who was standing behind Qin Gu, and asked politely, "The commander came over early in the morning, and he hasn't had breakfast yet, right?" ”

Liao Jianzhong was stunned, smiled bitterly, and before he could speak, Li * had already ordered: "Hurry up and prepare breakfast for Commander Liao, the commander is our top boss, don't slack off——"

Wei Xun on the side had already understood, stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Commander Liao, please here, there are really a lot of good things in Jiedu Mansion, so I will serve the commander to go to eat......

Liao Jianzhong opened his mouth, but his eyes looked at Qin Gu, Qin Gu smiled: "It's okay, with Team Officer Li presiding over the overall situation, it will be fine!" ”

Liao Jianzhong relieved his heart at this time, and hugged his fist at Wei Xun very politely: "This brother, you have to work!" ”

"Where, it is a blessing to be able to serve the commander and serve the lord's meal......

Seeing Liao Jianzhong follow Wei Xun away, Qin Gu's expression became solemn again: "Huairen, what are you going to do?" What's next? ”

Li * stretched out his hand, and while leading Qin Gu to walk in the direction of the backyard, he waved his hand and ordered Shen Chen and the others who followed him to go away, and said in a low voice: "Although my soldiers have temporarily controlled the state city, this situation will not be too long, I will not hurt the Gao family's father and son, that is the way to self-destruction." But I can't let them out for the time being, and when everything is ready, I will go to negotiate with Gao Shizhong face-to-face to discuss a solution. After all, he is the envoy of the Yanzhou Festival, the servant of the imperial court and the master of the inspection school, although I have the upper hand now, if I really kill him, neither I nor my C team can afford this responsibility, so in the end, we still have to negotiate, my soldiers will eventually withdraw from the state city, he is still the envoy of the Zhangwu Army, and he is still the lord of Yanzhou......"

Qin Gu smiled bitterly, although Li*'s words made him completely relieved, but they had a different taste. He said lightly: "Your C team, Huairen, what do you think you are?" Could it be that you really want to go on like this and eventually become an out-and-out warlord? ”

Li *'s face was solemn, and there was no dodging in his eyes: "Zijian, don't look down on me, in today's world, if I want to protect myself, if I want to destroy the warlords and settle the people, the first step is to become a warlord first, and become a warlord that no one can provoke." Only in this way can I keep the people in the territory safe and sound. Yesterday's situation was dangerous, I thought I would never see Zijian you again in this life, if it weren't for these soldiers under my command, I was afraid that I would have frozen in the dungeon at this moment. It's the reality and I don't have a choice! ”

Qin Gu listened to his words carefully, but asked in the same serious tone: "Huairen, have you ever thought about it, many princes of feudal towns in this world also had the same thoughts as you at the beginning, no one was born willing to live this kind of life of licking blood with a knife, after a long time, they became accustomed to it, but when they really held the power, they all changed, and they only wanted to have more money, bigger territory, and stronger army...... Benevolence is gradually blinded by greed, and it brings misery to the people...... There are too many such things, Huairen, you are so confident, the monstrous power and wealth are in front of you, can you still stick to morality? ”

Li * smiled and gently spit out two words: "...... No! ”

He paused, and said to Qin Gu word by word: "So you have to persuade me from time to time, warn me, and remind me. If a person is not a sage, who can not have the slightest greed? Relying on morality to restrain people, the final result is today, the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but in the past few decades, the population has withered, the land is barren, and the wails are everywhere and hunger is everywhere; Therefore, it is unreliable to rely on character and morality. It depends on the efforts of all of us, even if I become a warlord, I hope that someone will always be by the side to contain and supervise, the knife of the army, only in the hands of rational people is the weapon to defend Li Shu; Once the supervision and restraint are lost, the army falls into the hands of madmen, and it will immediately become a murder weapon for killing the lives of the people......"

Qin Gu looked at Li * in surprise, never expecting him to say such a thing, he muttered, "...... This is really insightful, deafening insight, Huairen, on the heart and mind, the younger brother is really inferior to the elder brother, ashamed ......"

Li * smiled: "Zijian, you don't have to be humble, literati are different from soldiers, literati should have temperance aspirations, in this troubled era, literati are not terrible without talent, what is terrible is that literati have lost their conscience, lost their sense of responsibility to take the world as their own responsibility, this is what Confucius to Wei Wenzhen Gong has been emphasizing in shouting, over time, Zijian must be the talent of Langmiao......"

Qin Gu smiled: "...... I know my own affairs, in front of you brave Qiu Ba, I am just a useless scholar, you want me to supervise and contain you, just joke, I and the observation are civil officials, the most worthless civil officials in the troubled times, what do we use to contain and supervise you military leaders who are in power? ”

"It depends on the system—" Li * said firmly.

"System?" Qin Gu smiled, "That's the words of the Legalists......"

"Legalism is also Confucianism!"

Looking at Qin Gu's surprised eyes, Li * smiled: "Don't forget, Li Si and Han Fei are both disciples of Xun Qing, and Xun Qing is recognized as a great Confucian ......."

"You're quibbling—" Qin Gu laughed.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly relaxed, smiling and smiling, Qin Gu frowned again, he thought for a moment, and said slowly: "This time you and Shizhong have resolved their mortal enmity, his old man has never lost such a big person in his life, this time he will lose face in your hands, I am afraid that he will be hit hard......"

"My life, the lives of fifty brothers of Team C, can't it be worth such a little face from him?" Li * said coldly.

Qin Gu smiled bitterly: "The rights and wrongs of this matter are originally clear, as long as you observe and come back, you will not really hurt your life." It's just that your subordinates made such a fuss yesterday, whether it is in the service or observing, I'm afraid that they won't be able to get off the stage this time......"

Li * shook his head: "Zijian, you think things are simple. In this matter, the father and son of the Gao family did not think about any right and wrong from the beginning, they relied on strength, and they felt that in front of their strength, what kind of right and wrong was decided by them, so they acted so blatantly. The reason why they lost today instead of me is also because of their strength, they underestimated the strength in my hands, so they made a mistake and lost everything......"

He raised his head and looked at Qin Gudao: "Zijian, our ambition and ideal is to establish a world with right and wrong as the order and legal principles as the rope, but the establishment of this world cannot be rigid in right and wrong, this is a real thing that requires strength, without strength, even right and wrong are decided by others, and it is meaningless to say anything else......

“…… So I'm going to back down today, although I control the state city, but eventually I will withdraw and return the Jiedu Mansion to the high servants. It's not that I, Li *, am soft-hearted and high-spirited, but that my current strength is not enough, and it is beyond my power to control and command nine counties in one state. To be a man and lead a soldier, you have to face the reality, but it doesn't mean that this matter is over, one day, the Gao family father and son will have to pay the price for their wanton behavior......"

Qin Gu gasped: "It seems that this grievance can't be resolved, you seem to have hated the servant to the bone, do you want to put him to death so much?" ”

Li * smiled faintly: "Zijian, although I am not a broad-minded person, but I am by no means a small-bellied person, after all, no one in the high service really wanted my life, I still know this in my heart......"

He looked up at the sky and said coldly, "I'm going to kill him because he deserves to die-"

"Huairen—"

"I will kill him, not for personal vendetta, but for justice—"

In front of Li*'s murderous but categorical words that had almost no room for negotiation, Qin Gu was completely stunned.

Looking at Qin Gu's stunned expression quietly, Li * smiled: "Zijian, please come with me......"

……

After following Li * to visit the astonishing number of mansions in Jiedu Mansion, Qin Gu almost fainted.

“…… When I was in the mansion, I knew that this was an important place in the treasury, heavily guarded by heavy troops, and all the staff would be scolded even if they walked a little closer. But I never knew that there were so many people in this treasury, and this money alone was enough to cover the income of the nine counties of Yanzhou for 20 years...... God, he has gathered so much money in the service, he ...... What does he want? If this money is spent, how much can it save from hunger and cold......"

Qin Gu stood there dumbfounded, muttering to himself like a dream.

Zijian...... The biggest enemy of Yanzhou Lishu is not the party members, not the Dingyan army, it is the Gao family, it is the Gao family who exploits the people and does not care about the life and death of the people, and it is these greedy, despicable, ruthless and shameless warriors and feudal towns in Yanzhou! ”

Li *'s words were thousands of words, and they hit Qin Gu's heart like a heavy hammer.

Qin Gu was silent for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "What are you going to do with it now?" ”

Li * smiled coldly: "My strength is not enough, and I can't swallow the entire Yanzhou, so I will return the state city to Shizhong and Yanei." But this money, the blood, sweat and ointment of these Yanzhou people, I will not leave them at all, I want to empty this treasury, I want to make the Gao family father and son destitute from today on......"

Qin Gu was silent.

“…… But I can't dispose of all this wealth and money, I need Zijian to help me......"

"Is this the important thing you want to discuss with me?"

"Yes! I want you to help me exchange this money for grain, for seeds, for farming tools, for armor, for knives and guns, for ploughing cattle, for war horses, for all the things we need, for all the things that Yanzhou Lishu urgently needs, this matter is not enough for you to do in Fushi County, I want you to mobilize the commanders of the nine counties, so that these things can become real materials, into grain and Dingkou, from Guanzhong, from Guandong, from Jiannan, from Longyou to Yanzhou ......"

"Haven't you been unable to build a camp for the homeless, with this money, you can build the camp of the homeless people at the foot of Fenglin Mountain, I will put this camp of the homeless people under the protection of the armed forces of my left battalion C team, whoever dares to touch the idea of this camp, the fifty soldiers under my command will make him blood splash on the spot, whether he is a party member who knocked on the gate or the Yao family of the Gao family, if he dares to fight the idea of the homeless, we will want his life......"

Qin Gu shook his head slowly, and said with a bitter smile: "Who can have this big fortune, there will be the wealth of the enemy country, Huairen, such a fortune, you just handed it over to me?" You're so relieved......"

Li * smiled: "Observation can see you Zijian, why can't I trust you?" Didn't you say that observation is discernment? ”

Qin Gu looked at him: "You don't take anything from your own house?" ”

Li * smiled proudly: "As I said, we are running the emperor's business, what is the use of so much money I want, it is all scrap copper and rotten iron, I can't eat when I'm hungry, and I can't wear clothes when I'm cold." My soldiers need to eat and clothe, and my army needs soldiers, weapons, armor, and horses, and if these things are not turned into physical objects, they are worthless burdens, and they are the main culprits who corrupt the morale of the army and affect their morale. I'd be dizzy if I left these things behind! ”

Qin Gu looked Li * up and down carefully, as if he didn't know him anymore, and after a while, he asked leisurely: "...... The Emperor's Cause...... Huairen, do you have the ambition to become the emperor? ”

When this sentence came out, even Qin Gu himself felt quite weird, the person in front of him had just been out of slavery for less than half a year, and now he only had a squad of more than fifty people in his hands, and his official rank was just a lieutenant from the ninth grade, and he was thin and small, and he didn't look like an emperor, but he stood here like this, and blurted out such a sentence, as if this matter was already visible......

Li * was also stunned, he had never thought about this problem, since he came to this world, whether he was struggling, fighting and killing, all in order to be able to survive in this troubled world of cannibalism.

Do you want to be an emperor yourself? It seems that this question has never been seriously considered.

It seems that the person who wants to be the emperor should be in Shanzhou now, and where else should be, I don't remember.

Anyway, in the concept, it is Boss Chai and Boss Zhao who will become emperors in the future in this world.

Li never thought that he could be an emperor himself, even when Li Bin was so unscrupulous as he shouted about "the emperor's business" last time.

Am I going to be an emperor? Can I be an emperor?

After thinking for a while, a look of disgust appeared on Li*'s face, he slowly shook his head, and said very seriously: "...... Be an emperor...... Such a tasteless thing...... I don't do ......."
