Chapter 960: Wind and Rain Travel

This year's winter came earlier than usual as Luoyang expected, and after mid-November, it seemed that overnight, the weather cooled steeply, and the sun hid in the thick clouds and disappeared, replaced by black and heavy clouds, as if to press down from the sky.

Li Qing, Qingfeng and other people who set off from Fuchun early in the morning, just crossed the Niujiao Village not long ago, and there was a sporadic drizzle in the air, although it was as fine as a cow's hair, but it fell on the face, it was cold and biting.

Li Sizhi looked a little haggard, wrapped the cloak on his body, and looked at the interested Li Qinghe while smiling Qingfeng, and his face imperceptibly showed a trace of unhappiness. Li Wen was demoted, and the mountain wind was actually deprived of military power, indicating that Li Qing had a clear understanding of the small actions behind the Li clan, and Li Qing's decision to send An Min overseas actually announced that the Li clan's early plans were completely empty.

The Li clan has swept the world, but in Li Sizhi's view, if this momentum continues, the Li clan will be the weakest royal family in history, Li Qing seems to be intentionally or unintentionally weakening the power of the future royal family, it is aware of Li Qing's unusual and even incredible action, the clan decided to unite with the whole Qingfeng and vigorously support the people, in order to make the future royal family can actually grasp the power of the empire.

But now it seems that Li Qing is extremely wary of this.

Li Sizhi didn't think there was anything wrong with the clan doing this, the royal family was not strong, so it was very easy for the foreign surname to sit on the throne, thus forming a chaotic pattern in the last years of the Great Chu.

It's just a pity, Qingfeng doesn't know for what reason, he is not very enthusiastic, even very indifferent, after the Li Wen incident, Qingfeng returned to Ningzhou, Li Sizhi has always wanted to seek to meet with Qingfeng alone, talk about it well, Li Sizhi thinks that if the clan and Qingfeng work together, it can influence Li Qing to change his mind, but what annoys him is that Qingfeng did not give him this opportunity at all, since he arrived in Ningzhou, Qingfeng is almost inseparable from Li Qing.

Qingfeng didn't want to meet with him, Li Sizhi easily came to this conclusion, as the president of the Supervision Yuan, Qingfeng, if he wanted to meet with him alone, it would be easy to find an opportunity, and the current situation can only show that Qingfeng acquiesced in Li Qing's treatment of An Min.

"It looks like it's going to snow today, I'm afraid it's going to snow, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, so I think we'll live in Niujiaozhai first, and then make a decision based on the form! "Li Sizhi.

"It's okay! Li Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "This little rain is nothing, and the mine is only half a day's journey from here, let's hurry up and strive to come back early to spend the night in Niujiaozhai, return to Fuchun tomorrow, and return to Ningzhou the day after tomorrow. It's been long enough for this trip to come out, I, I have to go back to Dingzhou early, Lu Yiming has already started to complain in the official document a few days ago, hahaha, I don't want to go back late, facing his bitter gourd face."

Everyone laughed when he said this. Only Li Sizhi lowered his head. In the core system of Dingzhou, such as Lu Yiming, Yan Nanfei and other foreign surnames occupy an absolute advantage, in the Li clan, Li Huizhi is in Yizhou, and he is in Ningzhou, all of which are far away from the central core, although Li Muzhi is in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but if Li Qing ascends to the throne, he will inevitably be regarded as the emperor with a respected status but no real power, Li Zonghua also retired from the Supervision Yuan, looking at the entire Li clan, there is a danger of being excluded from the core of the highest power, how can Li Sizhi figure it out?

Li Sizhi couldn't understand why Li Qing spent so much effort to curb the power of the Li clan, didn't he know that his foundation was the Li clan?

Li Sizhi couldn't understand Li Qing's thoughts, but Li Qing never recognized that his own foundation was in Yizhou, in Li Qing's view, only Dingzhou, where his most fundamental strength lies. Abandoning Yizhou and choosing Dingzhou as the future capital is due to this, and the suppression of the power of the imperial family is due to the political structure of the future empire constructed by Li Qing in his mind, and in order to successfully complete this structure, he must not allow the imperial family to have huge power to hinder his actions.

Ascending a ridge, turning around and stretching out his big hand, he pulled up the breeze behind him, watching Li Qing take Qingfeng's hand and climb along the mountain road, Li Sizhi sighed, Qingfeng's mind is always incomprehensible, but there is no doubt that even if the huge power in Qingfeng's hands is aside, Li Qing's love for her alone can greatly affect Li Qing's decision-making, and she must find an opportunity to have a good talk with Qingfeng.

Qingfeng is such a smart person, he should know very well that the power she has is really feared by any person in a higher position, after Li Qingding settles the world, I am afraid that the first thing to do is to cut off Qingfeng's influence and latent power, if this is a condition to negotiate with Qingfeng, can Qingfeng change his mind?

The future royal family needs strong strength to ensure sufficient benefits, and Qingfeng also needs strong backup to ensure her rights and interests, and the point of connection between the two sides should be An Min, but why is Qingfeng indifferent to this now, is she really willing to retreat behind the scenes from now on and hand over the power in her hands for Li Qing?

Looking up at Li Qing holding Qingfeng's hand side by side, Li Sizhi was really a little unclear, whether Li Qing really liked Qingfeng from the bottom of his heart, or did he deliberately make a gesture because he was afraid of Qingfeng's strength to win over Qingfeng.

Li Qing actually didn't think as much as Li Sizhi, now he is really happy, all along, he and Qingfeng are gathering less and leaving more, even if both sides are in Dingzhou, because of this and that, it is impossible for him to openly run to Qingfeng often, Qingfeng can't go to the palace to get together with him, and now, Qingfeng returned to Ningzhou after the success of chasing Yuan Fang in Bozhou, without a group of ministers and people in the palace, Li Qing is very happy to finally have more opportunities to get together with Qingfeng. This time, the two said that they were going to inspect the saltpeter mine in the 100,000 mountains, but in Li Qing's opinion, it was better to say that it was a revisit with Qingfeng.

The elated Li Qing led the gentle breeze, and the bleak wind and cold rain were not so annoying at this time, but they added a bit of fun. The people around them also kept a certain distance from the two of them, anyway, on the periphery of the two, thousands of guards cleaned their way forward, not to mention assassins, I am afraid that even a rabbit will be chased away.

"Killing Yuan Fang this time is not only a big problem for our henchmen, but also a powerful arm of the Apocalypse." Li Qing said with great interest: "This has removed a great obstacle for us to launch a general attack next year."

"It's a pity, he still let him take away the secret of our Shenwei cannon," Qingfeng said regretfully, "Yuan Fang is really a big enemy, and he always has unexpected moves, this time he actually came to steal the Shenwei cannon, which is surprising, but from another aspect, our Shenwei cannon also made Luoyang helpless, and even came up with such a method."

Li Qing smiled and said: "It's okay to let them go, even if they have the drawings, it doesn't mean that they can be built, and second, our Shenwei cannon has made some new progress, as I said before, we have been imitated, but we will never be surpassed."

Qingfeng chuckled, "The general is as confident as ever."

"Of course! Li Qingdao: "I see that you have some regrets these days, is it that as soon as Yuan Fang died, he gave birth to a feeling that there was no opponent in the world, and the master was extremely lonely?" ＂

Qingfeng blushed, "General Hugh wants to joke, Yuan Fang's opponent, I don't want to meet another one, oh, by the way, speaking of which, Zhong Ziqi's whereabouts are unknown until now, and he can't see anyone alive or dead, which is really a little reassuring."

Li Qing was dismissive, "Without the support of King Ning, what tricks can Zhong Ziqi play?" No matter how clever a person is, he is alone and cannot stir up any big waves, nor can he affect the pace of our progress."

"It's not just Zhong Ziqi, there's also Zhou Yu! Qingfeng frowned, "Zhong Ziqi is scheming, cunning, Zhou Yu's martial arts, can also be called the world's own, if these two people are together, they should not be underestimated, general, now that Li Wen is out, Li Wu is serving as the commander of the palace guards by King Zhou's side, but there is no master by your side, let Han Yong follow you during this time."

Li Qing smiled and said: "The guards around me are like clouds, so let them get close, and I am not a scholar who is powerless, I think back then, I was also a general on the battlefield, and if you want to assassinate me, it is so easy."

"Although Zhou Yu is a cripple, he is alone in the world with light skills, that is, Zhong Jing back then, and he was also willing to bow down on this item, so let Han Yong be your guard for a period of time first, and when you return to Dingzhou, you can transfer back to Li Wu, and then transfer Han Yong back, but unfortunately, Han Renjie was seriously injured this time, otherwise let him follow you, I am more assured! ＂

"That's fine! Li Qingdao: "You said so, I don't agree anymore, but let me live up to your good intentions, let me come, return to Dingzhou, and then give him back to you, there are not many people around you now."

"I don't care! Qingfeng smiled.

"Sun Zewu led people to sneak to Suzhou, is there any news coming back? Li Qingdao.

Shaking his head, Qingfeng said: "Suzhou is now Luoyang is a large army, extremely strict control, although we have done some preliminary preparations over there, but in this situation, it is difficult to show his hands and feet, before leaving, I will ask him to lurk, secretly accumulate strength, do not act rashly, wait until our army begins to attack and then wait for the order, let them give the opponent a fatal blow at the most critical time."

"You sent Hu Dong back to Luoyang again? He was white in Luoyang, and he was afraid that there would be some danger when he went there this time."

"Well, since Yuan Fang is dead, it will be difficult for the Luoyang Staff Division to recover in a short period of time, Hu Dong will return to Luoyang and form an underground army, and there should be no problem with Xie Ke to cover him."

"What about Shang Shuhuan? ＂

"Shang Shuhuan built a tomb for his mother in Qingyang, and he doesn't want to do things for us anymore. said that he would keep filial piety for his mother and never step into the red dust again, but it was a pity, in fact, he was a good seedling." Qingfeng sighed.

"People have their own ambitions, you can't force them, he is sandwiched between Shang Haibo and us, he is a little embarrassed, this time he killed Yuan Fang, his wish has been fulfilled, let him go! Li Qingdao.
