The imperial army was blocked, the grain and grass were burned, except for Sun Quan and Liu Bei, the happiest should be the emperor Liu Xie.

The emperor and the prime minister are not of the same mind, and they fight to the death.

If it weren't for Chen Yanzhi's presence, they would have fought even more ferociously.

When Liu Xie learned that Cao Cao had lost the battle, he laughed: "Cao Aman, Cao Aman, I didn't expect you to have a time when you also failed." Well, good defeat. Sun Quan and Liu Bei, you must fight for your anger and let Cao Aman suffer a few more defeats. I want to see if he Cao Aman is still so arrogant at that time......"

Liu Xie's voice stopped abruptly.

Because Chen Yanzhi was standing at the door of the main hall at this moment.

Chen Yanzhi, as Liu Xie's teacher, does not need to be notified when he enters the palace. You can come directly to see Liu Xie. This is the privilege that Liu Xie gave to Chen Yanzhi.

Seeing Chen Yanzhi, Liu Xie came back to his senses, tidied up his clothes, returned to his dignity, and said, "Teacher, when did you come?" ”

Chen Yanzhi glanced at Liu Xie calmly and said, "I just arrived. Cao Mengde represents the Han court, he suffered a defeat and wants to return to Luoyang in disgrace, the emperor are you so happy? ”

Liu Xie waved his hand and asked all the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall to retreat.

"Teacher, Cao Mengde, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, has never respected me, the emperor." Liu Xie said, "Cao Mengde has always fought with me for power. How powerful the Cao family is now, and how wide the party members are, you know it in your heart, teacher. What should have been done by me, let him do it! What does he Cao Mengde want to do? Otherwise, the emperor will let Cao Mengde do it. ”

Liu Xie's voice became louder and louder, and finally even turned into a roar. He had been suppressed for too long, and his emotions finally exploded.

After Liu Xie finished venting and calmed down, Chen Yanzhi said, "Sit down." ”

After Liu Xie sat down, he said, "Teacher, you have to help me." ”

Chen Yanzhi smiled and said, "You are the emperor, the most powerful person in the world. Can anyone help you? Cao Mengde is just a prime minister, as an emperor, you were forced to such a situation by the prime minister. Have you ever thought about why? ”

Liu Xie said: "Because those civil ministers and military generals all listen to Cao Mengde, but not me." ”

Chen Yanzhi shook his head and said in disappointment: "What you said is not the root cause. In the final analysis, it is because Cao Mengde is stronger than you, and those civil and military generals feel that following Cao Mengde is more promising. I have been teaching the emperor to read for many years. The reason is clear. Unfortunately, your mindset has not changed. You have been fighting with Cao Mengde, and you don't look for reasons in yourself. Improve yourself, make yourself stronger, and become stronger than Cao Mengde, those civil and military generals will naturally support you with the stars. ”

Liu Xie's talent is actually not low. But for so many years, he had only cultivated the health guidance technique to the first level, which was barely a beginner.

As for the state of mind, it is still far from the realm of the living dead.

Liu Xie was silent.

Chen Yanzhi continued: "You want to rely on me to help you regain your power. Do you think that the rights that others have given you are real rights? A gentleman is self-improving. Men should be self-reliant. No one can rely on anyone but himself. Even if I help you kill Cao Mengde, you still can't sit on the throne. At this point, I won't say more, Your Majesty, you should think about it yourself. ”

"I came this time to ask the emperor to make a holy decree. Let the imperial court set up a joint investigation team to thoroughly investigate why the imperial army failed? Once the evidence is conclusive, those who collaborate with the enemy will certainly be severely punished by the law of the land. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Teacher, I will make a holy decree, of course there is no problem." But does it work? ”

Liu Xie's holy decree did not seem to be very effective for Cao Cao and for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Chen Yanzhi nodded and said, "Of course it works." At least legally, there is no problem. Everything needs to be justified and above board. ”

Chen Yanzhi's words are actually teaching Liu Xie the truth of how to behave in the world, but unfortunately, Liu Xie failed to comprehend it.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "That's good." I'm going to write the decree now. ”

Lifting the brush, Liu Xie asked, "Teacher, I wonder if you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Chen Yanzhi said: "Xun Yu, Yang Xiu, Li Zhongyong, Zhao Mingxia. Let the four of them take the lead. As for the rest, let them pick for themselves. ”

Zhao Mingxia, last night, had returned to Luoyang.

The four people selected by Chen Yan have all reached the realm of "living dead", and they can be regarded as wise and intelligent. It is only fitting that they form a team to investigate the "mole".

As for Guo Jia and Jia Xu, they are the military advisors of this southern expedition. You need to avoid suspicion, and you definitely can't participate. They all have suspicions.

Liu Xie wrote the holy decree and stamped it with the official seal of the jade seal. This decree is now in effect.

Chen Yanzhi took the holy decree, left the main hall, and walked out of the palace.

……………………

Chen Yanzhi returned to Cai's house. Cai Yan saw the holy decree in his hand and asked, "Senior brother, don't you really plan to check it yourself?" Chen Yanzhi shook his head and said, "Everything needs to be taken care of by me personally." So what else do you need the ministers of the court to do? Xun Yu, Yang Xiu, Li Zhongyong, Zhao Mingxia, if the four of them can't find out Sima Yi's handle, then they can only say that they are incompetent. ”

Cai Yan exclaimed, "Sima Yi." Senior brother, do you mean to say that Sima Yi is a traitor? ”

Chen Yanzhi's face was calm, and Zhizhu said in his hand: "It's not him, who else." The cooperation between him and Zhuge Liang is really tacit. made Cao Mengde plant a big heel. ”

Cai Yan said: "Since Senior Brother you know that Sima Yi is a traitor, why don't you just arrest him and put him in prison?" Wouldn't it be redundant to let the emperor investigate the holy decree? ”

Chen Yanzhi said: "Arrest people directly? What about the evidence? The court needs rules and laws to follow. Only then will order not collapse. ”

Evidence?

Of course, Chen Yanzhi could use the power of his mind to hypnotize Sima Yi and make him tell what he had done. But Chen Yanzhi will not do that.

Let Li Zhongyong and Zhao Mingxia investigate, is to give them a chance to experience. Fighting wits and courage with Sima Yi is conducive to their growth.

……………………

The army of the imperial court finally began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Riverside.

Lu Lingqi was wearing a black women's Hanfu, her long hair was tied back casually, and she was elegant and heroic. She is no longer a female general at the moment, but like a chivalrous woman walking the rivers and lakes.

After the cultivation of Neijiaquan reached the peak, and after being able to "see that the gods are not bad", Lu Lingqi's personality has calmed down a lot. She stood on a small wooden boat and had the bearing of a generation of grandmasters.

Jia Xu stood on the shore and asked, "Miss Lu, you really don't plan to go back to Luoyang with us?" ”

Lu Lingqi shook her head and said with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, I have already pacified the Red Rabbit Horse, and it will return to Luoyang with you." Zhao Zilong and I still have some personal matters that have not been resolved. If I don't die, I'll go back to Luoyang when the matter is done. If my skills are not as good as others, I will die in the hands of Zhao Zilong...... Then I will die without regrets. ”

Jia Xu said: "Miss Lu, it's too dangerous for you to do this. The old man really doesn't understand, why do you have to fight Zhao Zilong to the death? Is it bad to go back to Luoyang? ”

Lu Lingqi said with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, you are a Wenchen strategist, and you don't understand things between martial artists. I must win against Zhao Zilong, otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Lu Lingqi picked up the oars and stroked gently, and the small wooden boat was like an arrow off the string, quickly rushing towards the other side of the river.

Jia Xu looked at Lu Lingqi's back and said, "Is it so important to win or lose between martial artists?" It's a mess. She didn't want to die in the hands of Zhao Zilong. ”

………………………

Evening.

Sunset, breeze, bamboo forest.

Zhao Yun and Sun Ce walked in the bamboo forest and exchanged cultivation experiences. Tomorrow, Zhao Yun will follow Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to leave Jiangdong and go to Yizhou.

"Huh?"

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, looking at the woman in black in the bamboo forest in front of him.

Sun Ce also looked at her.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Miss Lu, goodbye to Changbanpo, we haven't seen each other for a few days." Miss Lu, your martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, giving me a sense of oppression. Congratulations. ”

Lu Lingqi said calmly: "I haven't seen you for some days. Today, I am not here as a military general of the imperial court, but as a pure martial artist to challenge you Zhao Zilong. By the way, haven't you asked where this strong man around you is? ”

Zhao Yun said: "Jiangdong Xiaobawang, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu. ”

Lu Lingqi nodded and said, "I see." General Sun Bofu, if you join forces with Zhao Zilong, it will be easy to kill me, then I have nothing to say. ”

Sun Ce laughed: "Miss Lu, you don't have to worry about me making a move." Since you have come to Jiangdong as a pure warrior, Sun is welcome. The battle between you and Brother Zilong is your private affair, and it has nothing to do with me. Sun will never interfere. ”

Lu Lingqi nodded and said, "That's good." ”

She was really afraid that Sun Ce would make a move.

Lu Lingqi took a deep breath, squatted slightly, pulled away from the boxing rack, and stared at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun understood that Lu Lingqi didn't use weapons, she wanted to fight with her bare hands.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most primitive form of fighting.

The most testing of a person's martial arts.

Zhao Zilong's spearmanship, Lu Lingqi has already been taught. Of course, she wanted to learn more about his boxing.

was stared at by Lu Lingqi, and the hairs on Zhao Yun's body stood up all of a sudden.

Sun Ce took a few steps back and said with a solemn face, "Brother Zilong, be careful. ”

Zhao Yun slowly walked towards Lu Lingqi, his speed became faster and faster, until finally, his figure actually left a few afterimages in the air.

Zhao Zilong, who has no silver gun, is still a strong man. He is not afraid of Lu Lingqi's challenge.

Zhao Yun slapped Lu Lingqi with a palm.

The strength and speed have reached the level of Zhao Yun, and a random palm has a huge amount of power, not to mention, Zhao Yun is also proficient in boxing and palm techniques.

Lu Lingqi's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, and she raised her hand to punch.

Boom.

The fists collided, and the clearly visible "ripples" rippled out. The bamboos within a radius of three zhang were all shattered by the qi.

Lu Lingqi looked at Zhao Zilong and said with a smile: "The third layer of health care guidance? What a strong force. However, Zhao Zilong, if you want to rely on such strength to defeat me, I'm afraid it's impossible. You can take my punch too. ”
