Chapter 100: Poison Pill
Not long after sitting in the palace, Wu Jian came, he was wearing a robe, his face was like jade, and his demeanor was graceful.
Other courtiers came to Jingyi Palace in official uniforms, but he was always dressed in civilian clothes, and others might not be able to see it, but he walked directly inside again and again. The forbidden troops guarding the door outside have been instructed by Li Yunyi, if there are no outsiders in Jingyi Palace, Wu Jian can come in directly.
After Wu Jian came in, his face was very solemn, and he held a piece of information in his hand and said: "I just received the news, the Chujing Dynasty was held yesterday, and the holy decree has been issued, and you and Cai Lu need to enter Beijing." ”
Li Yunyi was not the slightest surprised, just nodded indifferently, he pondered for a while and said: "Wu Jiao, you prepare, go to Chujing first, without your intelligence support, I will kill in Chujing step by step." ”
"Chen Zheng has already led people to set off with a whip just now. Wu Jian said: "I'll leave later, I'm here to ask you for money, Chujing is a big place, and it is difficult to open a road in a short time without money." ”
Li Yunyi nodded and said, "How much do you need?"
Wu Jian raised a finger and said, "Give 10 million taels first, don't shout poor, I know you got a lot of money from several major vassal states." This is still the expected investment, there are too many wealthy nobles in Chujing, and it takes a lot of money to buy them and get useful information. ”
"I'll give you 50 million taels!"
Li Yunyi waved his hand and said: "Don't be afraid of spending money, if I can come out of Chujing alive this time, our Jingguo will develop rapidly in the future, and we will need more information from Chujing's side at that time." You go and help me find out first, the information of several giants in Chu Jing, and the information of all the great masters and wealthy families in Chu Jing. I estimate that it will only drag on for half a month at most, and it will take seven days for you to travel day and night at the earliest, and all the time left for you is only eight days. ”
"Generous!"
Wu Jian gave a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, I had the arrangement before." With these 50 million taels, I will definitely help you handle things properly. Is there anything special that I need to pay attention to? If not, I'll go. ”
"Yes!"
Li Yunyi said very seriously: "I went to Chu Jingshao to hook up with those noble ladies, I can't protect you in that place." ”
"Hahaha!"
Wu Jian laughed a few times, walked outside, waved his hand as he walked, and said, "How can you get information if you don't hook up with a noble lady?" This son has the means to save his life, see you in Chu Jing. ”
Wu Jian left, Li Yunyi pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Anzi, pass the order, let Cao Li leave 20,000 troops to guard the border, and the remaining 30,000 troops scattered to the major military regions, let Qu Tianying sit in Dongyuan County, and send flying beasts to pick Cao Li back as quickly as possible." ”
"Second, let Zhao Xun first build two hundred new-style war knives and one hundred new-style divine bows, which must be built within ten days!"
"Third, I sent an order to Prime Minister Zuo, and in the past few days, I have sorted out the government affairs of Jingguo in various places, and those who urgently need this king to take ideas have been sorted out. ”
"Fourth, let Heilongtai stay behind as commander, keep a close eye on the entire Jingguo, and send any information to me as soon as possible. ”
"Fifth ......"
Li Yunyi quickly issued a few instructions, he was about to go to Chujing, and he had to arrange all kinds of affairs in Chujing to avoid a fire in the backyard. Although the holy decree has been issued, Cai Guo and Jing Guo will definitely not be able to fight in the past two years, but there are still many uneasy factors within Jing Guo, and he may not be able to come back when he goes to Chujing this time, so he naturally has to arrange the aftermath just in case.
In the afternoon of the same day, a huge flying beast arrived in Jingguo, Li Yunyi led several important courtiers to greet him, and a large internal power supervisor in Chujing, Lu Gonggong, read out the holy decree and let Li Yunyi set off for Chujing.
Li Yunyi personally came forward, and Li Chen and the Queen Mother Cao Yingying also came out and gave a grand banquet to Father-in-law Lu. After the banquet, Li Yunyi also asked Father-in-law Wei to secretly stuff a general silver ticket of one million taels for Father-in-law Lu, Father-in-law Lu was silent on his face, but he smiled in his heart, Li Yunyi's gift was a bit big.
Later, Li Yunyi said euphemistically that he was busy outside some time ago, and his body was tired and bones, and he had an old problem in recent days and was recuperating. Jingguo is in ruins, and many things need to be dealt with by him, so let Gonggong Lu go back first to help him dredge it, he said that he will go to Chujing within half a month.
The holy decree only asked Li Yunyi to go to Chujing, and did not say that he would leave immediately, and Gonggong Lu received the silver and naturally spoke well. Half a month is also normal, after all, a country's government affairs have to be dealt with, Li Yunyi will definitely not be able to come back within a few days when he goes to Chujing this time, it is estimated that he will stay for ten days, a half a month or even a month, and it is understandable that he will delay his departure for half a month.
Father-in-law Lu left the next day, and Li Yunyi has been even busier in the next few days, although he basically doesn't care about government affairs now, but he needs to grasp the direction of basic national policies and guidelines. He had to give guiding advice in all aspects, and then let the left and right prime ministers and the six Shangshu implement it.
Although Zhang Muzhi, the prime minister of Zuo, didn't know what Chu Jing had ordered Li Yunyi to do in the past, he always felt a little uneasy. He asked once, but Li Yunyi was calm and asked him not to care too much, just mediate, go through the motions, and come back in ten days and a half months.
On the night of the third day, Jingguo's flying beast came back and took Cao Li back. Li Yunyi ordered Cao Li to rest for the night, and Cao Li came to Jingyi Palace early the next morning.
"Your Highness!"
After Cao Li's salute, he asked with some doubts: "What are your orders for calling Weichen back in such a hurry?"
The east transferred 30,000 troops, and Cao Li needed to sit there and coordinate for a while, but was directly called back by Li Yunyi, and Cao Li thought that something big was about to happen.
"Sit!"
Li Yunyi waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, Cao Li, you have been on the Nine Grades for ten years, right?
Cao Liyi said honestly: "Back to His Royal Highness, it has indeed been ten years, and the impact has failed twice, and Weichen is ashamed. ”
"Come here, I'll take your pulse!"
As soon as Li Yunyi stretched out his hand, Cao Li, although he was puzzled, honestly came over and raised his hand. Li Yunyi was on his pulse, and after a while, true qi suddenly appeared in his hand, and the true qi actually entered Cao Li's body directly from his hand. Cao Li was shocked, didn't Li Yunyi's dantian be abolished?
That's not the point, the true qi can easily penetrate out and enter his body, and it can be controlled in the air? What kind of means is this? It's unheard of.
Li Yunyi closed his eyes, controlled the true qi to rotate around Cao Li's body, and then turned the true qi back and sent it into the Qi Sea Treasure Acupoint. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "You haven't done anything for the past three days, you have devoted yourself to cultivation, and if you don't see anyone, you will stay in the palace." Three days later, I will help you reach the Grandmaster realm. ”
"Huh?"
Cao Li was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, he glanced at Li Yunyi's face, and after making sure that he was not joking, he still couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, the grandmaster can also help outsiders to shock?"
Li Yunyi picked up the tea and didn't speak, and the father-in-law Fu next to him answered: "Taiwei Cao, others can't, but Your Highness can, our family's grandmaster can only break through with the help of His Highness." ”
"Hiss!"
Cao Li took a big breath of cold air, looking at Li Yunyi's gaze and feeling like looking at a monster. He also had some relief in his heart, Gonggong Fu was only a ninth rank before, and he had been tortured by secret diseases for decades, and he only broke through the grandmaster after just going to Huya Pass. At that time, he still felt strange, but now he finally understands that it was Li Yunyi's help.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Cao Li's heart was agitated, the grandmaster was the long-cherished wish of all martial artists, becoming a grandmaster is not only Jiaohua Dragon, Shouyuan can also be promoted for a long time, and the Cao family will also prosper for hundreds of years because of him.
"Don't rush to thank you just yet!"
Li Yunyi took out a jade box from his sleeve and said: "There is a poison pill in it, this king has refined it himself, and without this king's antidote, he will die within a year." If you take it, this king will help you break through!"
"Uh......"
Cao Li's face changed drastically, what does Li Yunyi mean by this? I don't believe him? I'm afraid that he won't be able to control it after he becomes a grandmaster?
The use of poison to control it is very despicable, and it also makes him very sad. He stubbornly gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, Weichen's heartfelt vision for the royal family and Jingguo can be learned, if Your Highness doesn't believe Weichen, you can immediately put Weichen to death." ”
The strong are dignified and arrogant, Cao Li, as a master of the Nine Grades, has been the commander of the Imperial Forest Army for more than ten years, and has been loyal to the Li family, Li Yunyi wants to use poison to control him, this means makes him a little chilled, and also arouses his arrogance.
"It's not that this king doesn't believe you!"
Li Yunyi replied coldly: "This king is going to leave for Chujing in ten days, and he may not be able to come back this time." In case I don't come back, this king needs you and Gonggong Fu to fully assist the lord and protect the royal family. If the king returns, nothing will happen. If this king is gone, no one can say what will happen, I hope you understand this king's painstaking efforts. Eat it, and you'll be a grandmaster in three days!"
"Huh?"
"Your Highness?"
Cao Li and Fu Gonggong were stunned, Cao Li was stunned because he heard the meaning of Tuogu from Li Yunyi's words, and Fu Gonggong was stunned because he listened to Li Yunyi's meaning, are you going to Chujing this time to take him with you?
"Gonggong Fu, you stay this time!" Li Yunyi explained: "There are dozens of great masters of Chujing, if someone wants to kill this king, it won't matter if you go." You stay in Jingcheng, and this king is at ease. ”
Gonggong Fu lowered his head and didn't speak, what Li Yunyi said was right, he was a new grandmaster and went to Chujing, and any grandmaster could suppress him. There are so many masters in that place, and those who dare to kill Li Yunyi are definitely not ordinary bigwigs, and it is no problem to transfer a few grandmasters casually.
Li Yunyi looked at Cao Li, and seeing that his complexion was still changing, he added: "Cao Li, you haven't been with this king for long, and you are not very familiar with this king's style of doing things. This king likes to talk about things and is not aimed at anyone. If it is not you who will be promoted to the grandmaster, but Gonggong Wei or the rest of the nine grades, this king will let them take this elixir, understand, understand? How to choose to look at you, if you don't eat, then automatically resign from the post of Tai Lieutenant and go to any idle position. ”
Cao Li's face changed gloomy, and Li Yunyi's words were very tactful, but the meaning was very clear.
If you eat it, you are his person, and if you don't eat it, not only will your official position be wiped out to the end, but even your life may be lost. This His Royal Highness is cold-blooded and ruthless, but he is not merciless when he kills people, and the two great masters of Zhou Xian Tuoba and Wu will kill him when he says he will kill, not to mention that he is a nine-rank master.
Cao Li hesitated for a moment and didn't speak, grabbed the jade box and took out a black pill, and ate it in one go.
