In the early morning of 17 April, when Li Fengyun was about to arrive at the bank of Heshui, Chen Rui urgently sent news from Kangfu City, Li Anqi was visiting, and there was something important to discuss.

On the eve of dawn, Li Anqi came in the dust, and to Li Fengyun's surprise, he saw a familiar face behind Li Anqi, which turned out to be Li Mi, the prince of Pushan County.

In Li Fengyun's memory, Li Mi did not rush from Xijing in Guanzhong to Liyang in Hebei until the eve of Yang Xuan's mutiny, that is to say, from the time calculation, Li Mi should be in Xijing at this moment, and should not appear here, let alone in front of him. However, the trajectory of historical progress is still due to the slight deviation of Li Fengyun's appearance, and some details have also undergone unexpected changes, such as Yang Lan, the king of Qi, such as Cui Hongsheng, the prince of Huangtai, and now there is another Li Mi

Li Fengyun glanced at Li Mi expressionlessly, and Li Mi was also silent.

Li Fengyun pulled Li Anqi aside and asked about the ins and outs of the matter.

The king of Qi maintained a high degree of vigilance against the possible imminent outbreak of the Eastern Capital Mutiny, and Wei Fusi, Dong Chun and Li Shanheng deliberately concealed Li Fengyun's specific deduction of the mutiny in order not to affect or mislead the judgment of the Qi king's judgment of the situation, which made the king of Qi always keep a clear head and did not lose his mind because of the fatal temptation of the prince's position, but the visible crisis in front of him still made the king of Qi sleepless at night and unable to sleep and eat.

What would he do if the mutineers in the Eastern Capital held his banner high at the beginning of the army and dragged him into the water in life or death? He can only take precautions and save himself, and he can only pin his hope of self-salvation on Li Fengyun. However, Li Fengyun was moving west into the Central Plains, and the King of Qi felt that the farther Li Fengyun was from him, the easier it was to lose control, so he was panicked and had the intention to "follow and kill", and keep a safe and controllable range with Li Fengyun, but the purpose of Li Fengyun's westward entry into the Central Plains was to participate in the Eastern Capital Mutiny, and if the two sides were "too close", it would definitely affect Li Fengyun's plan, and thus affect King Qi's overall control of the entire future situation

Just when King Qi was anxious and suffering from gains and losses, Li Baiyao and his son were "invited" to Licheng, which made King Qi overjoyed. Although so far he has no evidence to prove that Li Fengyun has a close relationship with Li Baiyao's father and son, and with the Li family of Zhaojun, as the situation unfolds, the thick fog that shrouded Li Fengyun before is gradually thinning, and some things are already faintly visible. If it is profitable, you think your estimates are true, then it is true, and conversely, if it is not profitable, you think your speculations are all false, then it is false. Now King Qi forced himself to believe that Li Fengyun was the son of the Li family of Zhao County, and had a close relationship with Li Baiyao's father and son, and the timely appearance of Li Baiyao's father and son was for the benefit of both parties.

The King of Qi had great respect for Li Baiyao and gave him a high-standard reception, which in a sense was "house arrest", that is, forcibly "kidnapping" Li Baiyao on his "boat", holding Li Fengyun hostage with the future interests of the Li family of Zhao County, and forcing Li Fengyun to fulfill his promise no matter what the circumstances, and to prevent the mutineers in the Eastern Capital from forcibly "kidnapping" him at any cost, and to prevent them from completely "dragging themselves into the water" when the initial shape of the mutiny was still unclear.

At the same time, King Qi's suspicion of Li Zixiong became deeper and deeper, not only kept a cautious distance from him, but also urged Li Zixiong to return to Donglai Shui Shi three times and twice.

Now the king of Qi has defeated Li Fengyun, defeated Qilu and Hebei traitors, and recovered the capital of Qi County, Licheng, Qi County is rapidly improving, and the sailor warships led by Zhou Fashang are also swimming on the river, blocking the passage between the north and south of the river, so Li Zixiong's role on the battlefield of Qi County is gone, he came from Donglai, he should go back to the water division, there is no need to continue to stay in Licheng.

King Qi's "expulsion" attitude was clear, and Li Zixiong also intended to leave. Li Zixiong did not take Li Fengyun's warning to heart, and still planned to return to the water division to continue his rebellion, even if he could not be the first to mutiny, he would give him a positive response and strong support when Yang Xuan was moved by the mutiny, and be a firm ally. From the point of view of his own wishes, although various sources of information from different sources confirmed that Li Fengyun's deduction of the result of the mutiny was credible, it was difficult for him to accept it in his heart, and he was very skeptical and rejected this result. The future is unpredictable after all, if he always controls the pulse of fate, then everything is possible, so he is not desperate, determined to fight to the death, so he saw Li Mi who came from hiding, received a secret letter from Yang Xuangan, and determined that Yang Xuangan was actively planning and deploying a mutiny, so he said goodbye to King Qi and returned to Donglai day and night.

Li Mi secretly came to Qi County, not only on behalf of Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong agreed to join forces in the mutiny and other matters, but also to lobby Li Fengyun, who was in trouble on the Qilu battlefield. And the reason why Yang Xuangan made this decision came from Li Zixiong's recommendation, Li Zixiong swore in a secret letter to Yang Xuangan that Li Fengyun had been persuaded by him that as long as the Eastern Capital mutiny, Li Fengyun would definitely participate, and he would definitely kill the Eastern Capital without hesitation.

Of course, Yang Xuangan has a great "interest" in Li Fengyun, but Li Fengyun is too mysterious, Yang Xuangan has never been able to find out his true face, and although Li Zixiong strongly recommended this time, his life experience is also unknown, so Yang Xuangan has to be cautious, it just so happens that Li Mi had in-depth contact with Li Fengyun in last year's Tongji Canal crisis, so Yang Xuangan specially invited Li Mi who was far away in Xijing. And Li Mi is also duty-bound, anxious about Yang Xuan's urgency, boating down the waterway of the big river, a thousand miles a day, first to Liyang to meet Yang Xuangan, and then day and night rushed to Licheng to visit Li Zixiong, and then non-stop, went straight to Henggong to find Li Fengyun.

"Li Zixiong......" Li Fengyun frowned and shook his head again and again. The old man was too stubborn and self-confident, and although he tried his best to warn him and try to persuade him not to return to the sailor, it was in vain, and all his efforts were in vain.

"The King of Qi has already intended to expel him, and it will be difficult for the Duke of Jianchang to continue to stay." Li Anqi knew what Li Fengyun was worried about, and sighed helplessly.

From the perspective of today's Qilu situation, the King of Qi has an advantage, and his wings are becoming fuller, which is obviously not conducive to the Holy Lord and threatens the political situation in the Eastern Capital, so in order to contain and weaken the King of Qi, and also to ensure that the sailor can cross the sea expedition along the lì, Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang are very likely to quickly and decisively "take" Li Zixiong, cut off a "arm" of the King of Qi, and completely eradicate the biggest hidden danger affecting the expedition of the sailor. The water master is the "territory" of Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, and Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang are absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord, and Li Zixiong, as the political enemy of the Holy Lord, returned to the Sailor on the eve of the storm, which is really unwise and suspected of seeking his own death.

"King Qi has limited knowledge, and it is not King Qi who really wants to expel him, but those people around King Qi." Li Fengyun sneered, said lightly, and stopped at the point

Wei Fusi, Dong Chun and Li Shanheng, in order to protect the "safety" of King Qi in politics to the greatest extent possible, took precautions, and of course they were impatient to "drive away" Li Zixiong, but they didn't know that this happened to "secretly coincide" with the original historical trajectory. Li Fengyun's little luck with the mutiny was also wiped out.

After Li Zixiong left the King of Qi and returned to the water division, he would definitely be "taken" by Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang to find an excuse, and Li Zixiong knew that Yang Xuangan was going to mutiny, and if he was escorted to the Holy Lord's Palace, he would inevitably be burdened by Yang Xuangan and would definitely die, so Li Zixiong would definitely flee halfway. In history, Li Zixiong was indeed "taken" by Laihu'er, and Li Zixiong did successfully escape, but the crux of the matter is that Li Zixiong was arrested, which means that the mutiny plan may have been exposed, which directly forced Yang Xuangan to a dead end, forcing Yang Xuangan to mention the mutiny. The consequences of the mutiny in advance are too strict, not only is the mutiny party urging and poorly prepared, but what is even more strict is that the expeditionary force on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition has not yet arrived under the city of Pyongyang, and the Holy Lord can quickly withdraw the expeditionary force, end the Eastern Crusade, and then transfer troops back to Beijing to quell the rebellion in the shortest possible time, which directly leads to Yang Xuangan not having enough time to attack the Eastern Capital, and this is one of the important reasons for the failure of the mutiny.

The first step was wrong, of course, every step was wrong, and Li Fengyun's luck was to save Yang Xuangan's "first step", so that Yang Xuangan could mutiniate in the scheduled July, that is, when the expeditionary force was expected to arrive under the city of Pyongyang, and then let Yang Xuangan get more time to attack the eastern capital, so that this mutiny could last longer. Only in this way can Li Fengyun gain more time to gain a foothold and exhibition, on the contrary, if the mutiny is as quickly defeated as the original trajectory of history, Li Fengyun will be surrounded and intercepted by the officials and troops even if he enters Hebei, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold, let alone an exhibition.

However, Li Fengyun failed to prevent Li Zixiong from "stubbornly" following the original trajectory of history, and if nothing else, Hu'er and Zhou Fashang would soon "take" Li Zixiong, and Yang Xuangan had to mutiny in advance. Yang Xuangan urged the troops, and it was even more difficult for Li Fengyun to do so, leaving him less time to loot the Tongji Canal, and it was even more difficult to attract the main force of the Eastern Capital garrison to the south, so not only could not help Yang Xuangan to attack the Eastern Capital as quickly as possible, but Li Fengyun's own difficulty in breaking through the Gyeonggi Tianqian Trench defense line and entering the Eastern Capital was also greatly increased. The time for attacking the Eastern Capital was already tight, and it was foreseeable that when Yang Xuangan and Li Fengyun joined forces under the Eastern Capital, the army that the Holy Lord transferred back to Beijing to quell the rebellion was also close at hand.

"Is there any movement over there?" Li Fengyun changed the topic, "Do you have a message from your family?" ”
