Chapter 127: The Generous Ming King

Li Qianqiu was a little surprised, "What kind of information can not only help the Li family, but also be your handle?" To be honest, I only want recipes now, and I am really not interested in you exchanging other chips for you." ”

The failure of tonight's assassination not only made their hard work come to naught, but also made the empress angry, and it is conceivable that the Li family will suffer revenge and pay a very heavy price next.

All he could think about now was how to reverse the defeat and take the throne back from the woman. And Wu Bencao's two recipes can help him turn stones into gold, secretly cultivate a new army of all-martial cultivation, and improve the strength of the Li family.

It didn't matter, he didn't want to waste his energy.

Wu Bencao said: "For the royal family surnamed Li, this information is very important, so it will determine your life and death. What future are you still thinking about, have you ever thought that there is a crisis of extinction right in front of you?"

Li Qianqiu was shocked, and King Ming couldn't hold his breath even more, and asked first: "What is the extermination crisis?"

Wu Bencao smiled faintly, did not answer, and stretched out his hand.

Take the initiative to tell the news, what else to exchange for the antidote?

Li Qianqiu frowned, took out a small bottle from his sleeve, and threw it to Wu Bencao, "Say it! I'll hear if it's true or not, if you're playing tricks on me, I'll snatch the medicine back while that white hair isn't here." ”

Wu Bencao carefully put it away.

He believed that there was Lao Bai as a threat, and this old man did not have the courage to give him fake medicine.

"Aren't you curious just now, who is that master next to the emperor? I can tell you the answer, he should be Wu Jingsi. ”

He wasn't actually sure if that person was Wu Jingsi, but judging by Li Qianqiu and King Ming's reactions, all the masters should have been counted, but that person became a variable and disrupted the overall situation.

Then, Wu Jingsi is the most suspicious.

Li Qianqiu's face changed suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "King Liang, what are you kidding! Others are in Youzhou, thousands of miles away from the capital, and they can't predict the future, how can they appear here!"

He and King Ming were very cautious, afraid of leaking the news, so they didn't tell anyone in advance. After they had planned well, it was not until yesterday that they secretly mobilized people and assigned specific tasks.

So he didn't believe that there were so many coincidences in the world, and Wu Jingsi could predict the prophet, and without any warning, he left his post without permission and traveled thousands of miles to the capital.

King Ming jumped up from the chair, and also felt that it was too absurd, and said tentatively: "You are not related to Wu Jingsi, how do you know that he is in the capital? In my opinion, you are talking nonsense, trying to deceive the antidote!"

Wu Bencao's face was calm, and he looked at Li Qianqiu, "On the tenth day of the first lunar month, after we met in Goose City, I set off for Chang'an. On the way, I accidentally bumped into Wu Jingsi, to be exact, the 100,000 Youzhou army led by him. ”

"What?

Li Qianqiu and King Ming both widened their eyes, and their expressions were extremely exciting.

Wu Bencao said: "I know that you don't believe it and think it's too coincidental, but you know that my entourage has a very high level of Taoism, and he can not only perceive that you are in Hongyan Pavilion, but also perceive the military camps near along the way. Within a radius of fifty miles, no one could hide his insight. ”

King Ming looked incredulous, and blurted out, "Hey, no matter how high your entourage is, can you be higher than the ancestor?" The ancestor also came back from Goose City, why didn't he find the Youzhou army with his powerful divine thoughts?"

Li Qianqiu blushed a little and said embarrassedly: "That person is indeed ...... taller than me."

On that day, his face was swollen by Lao Bai, and it has not been completely eliminated until now, so he naturally did not dare to pretend to be forced in front of Wu Bencao.

King Ming was immediately choked.

Li Qianqiu coughed dryly and said solemnly: "You mean, 100,000 Youzhou troops have come to Chang'an?"

He believed that Wu Bencao knew how to measure and would not make up such a serious military situation to fool him. If the Youzhou army really came to Chang'an, then, Wu Bencao was right, the Li royal family was really in danger.

Wu Bencao nodded, "That's why I said, don't think too far, there is a crisis of extinction in front of you." However, the good news is that Wu Jingsi was in a hurry to put out the fire, he was afraid of exposing his tracks, so he did not report to the imperial court, and there was not much food and grass in the army. ”

The soldiers are expensive and fast, and if the Youzhou army wants to play the role of a strange soldier, it can't bring too much grain and grass to slow down the marching speed. In addition, Wu Jingsi was afraid that the grass would startle the snake and let the royal family notice, so he avoided the towns along the road and never received material replenishment.

His weakness is grain and grass, and he can't stay in Chang'an for a long time.

Li Qianqiu's eyebrows tightened, and he quickly thought about the information provided by Wu Bencao.

With his rich military experience, it is not difficult to judge that this information is true. If it were him, he would be like Wu Jingsi, rushing forward with light troops and attacking Chang'an at the fastest speed.

As long as you can take it by surprise and sweep away the royal family surnamed Li in one fell swoop, the army can make its whereabouts public, and then the empress will issue an edict and send endless fees to treat the whole army well, and there will be no problems.

He was silent for a moment, looked up at Wu Bencao, and asked, "How do you know that the grain and grass in the army are empty?"

He tried to find out the flaws in Wu's words and verify the authenticity.

Wu Bencao said frankly: "It's very simple, I walked with Wu Jingsi, and we were separated two hundred miles south of the city. He repeatedly told me not to divulge the army's tracks, but my brother's poisoning was caused by their men's fanning of the wind, so I am no wonder......"

On the street before, if it weren't for the guards fanning the wind and blowing the poisonous mist towards Wang Xiang, with Lao Bai's skills, he would have had time to save people. In other words, although it was the assassin who released the poison, it was the court eagle dog that harmed people.

One report and one report, the court harmed Wu Bencao's brother, why should he keep it secret for the court?

Politics is dirty, he doesn't care about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, he only knows that his brother is still lying on the ground, unconscious, waiting for him to take the antidote back.

Therefore, Wu Jingsi deserves it.

Speaking of this, Li Qianqiu completely understood, "You just talked about the handle, do you mean that if you tell the truth about the assassination in the future, I can tell the emperor that it was you who told the whereabouts of the army, and we will share weal and woe?"

Wu Bencao nodded, "For the sake of my brother, I will make an exception to help you once." But don't think that you can pull me onto the Li family's boat by relying on this, so I don't care what the surname of Datang is. As long as Lao Bai makes a move, no matter who sits on the dragon chair, he will inevitably die!"

King Ming shuddered.

Li Qianqiu hurriedly said: "I understand this. Don't worry, even if you stand by and watch in the future, if you are willing to say this tonight, you are the great benefactor of the royal family, we are grateful to Dade, and we will never dare to disturb your purity. ”

Wu Bencao snorted, turned around and walked towards the door.

As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "I don't understand, why is His Royal Highness King Ming standing here, not King Ying?"

According to his understanding, the backbone of the royal family surnamed Li is King Li Xian of England, who is regarded as a contender for the crown prince. On such an important occasion, why is Li Xian not there?

Hearing this, King Ming smiled calmly and picked up the wine jar on the table.

"Datang can do without me Li Rui, but it can't do without my brother. This kind of rebellion should not be done by him, and all the charges will be borne by me alone, which is enough!"

He spoke generously, opened the seal, and drank it heroically.

He was willing to be Li Xian's scapegoat, and before the assassination failed, he had already thought of a way out for his brother.

Tomorrow, the empress will be furious, order a thorough investigation of the mastermind of the assassination, and focus her attention on Li Xian. But no matter how she investigated, she couldn't find any evidence, because Li Xian was not involved in this matter from beginning to end, and he was innocent.

Li Rui sacrificed himself to save his brother.

Therefore, when he asked Li Qianqiu if he drank this jar of wine alone, Li Qianqiu solemnly saluted.

Congratulations to a generation of Ming King.
