Chapter 323: The stronghold is destroyed
"There is news from Shangjing, saying that Wei Concubine has been beaten into the cold palace."
"That's not a very good thing."
When Yue Weiming heard this, he immediately understood the reason why Nalan left the two of them.
Mr. Mu also knew about this, but he was not surprised.
Nalan Li didn't care too much about seeing the reaction of the two.
"Wei Concubine's matter, for us, is just a chess piece, and it can be changed again if it is gone, but the current situation is that our actions have been known to the emperor."
Mr. Mu and Yue Weiming fell silent at the same time, and they were both thinking about what to do next.
Nalan Li didn't show any emotion, although he was indeed very disgusted with Wei Concubine's affairs, but she was a member of the Wei family after all.
Although the cooperation between him and the Wei family has not reached a very deep point, since a cooperative relationship has been reached.
If Wei Concubine didn't do anything, it would also have a big impact on his cooperation with the Wei family.
And now his imperial brother already knows that someone wants to assassinate him, but he doesn't know that Wei Concubine is in contact with him again.
If you want to find out about him, you need a little means.
It's just that he still needs to hurry, this time he missed the opportunity, and the next time he does it, it will be even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Nalan Li was also thinking about how to proceed to the next step.
The three of them didn't think long before Mr. Mu spoke first.
"Lord, the affairs in the palace are not in a hurry, with the help of the imperial concubine, at least we will not be found, even if they are found, without definite evidence, they will not be able to punish the crime."
"What Mr. Mu said is, Lord Wang, Master Qian said that he has given Concubine Wei a Gu, during this time, the emperor and Concubine Wei have been in contact so many times, and it is enough for some Gu worms to enter the emperor's body."
When Yue Weiming heard Mr. Mu's words, he immediately thought about something.
That Poison Sect Master's eldest disciple, Qian Feng, had teamed up with the people of the Wu Clan to cultivate a powerful Gu worm.
It was a Gu worm that fell on Wei Concubine's body, in order to make Wei Concubine a medium, so that the Gu worm could enter the emperor's body.
Wei Xi didn't know about this, what he told Wei Xi at the beginning was that they poisoned her.
The poison will need to be suppressed by taking some drugs every once in a while, otherwise it will be worse than death.
There's nothing wrong with that, because that's what Gu worms are special.
It will have an attack every once in a while, gnawing at the flesh of the host.
That feeling is not just what it seems to say, only those who have experienced it can know it.
And that kind of appearance is no different from taking drugs.
This is how Concubine Wei was sent to the emperor, and it was originally just a final plan.
Because Concubine Wei is the medium, the Gu given to the emperor is another Gu called Heart Devouring Gu.
The role is to make the emperor inseparable from Wei Concubine, so as to achieve control over the emperor.
It's just that what Nalan Li didn't expect was that Wei Xi was discovered and sent into the cold palace before he started.
Even if it is an emperor, it is very abnormal to want to find out that Wei Xi has a problem.
Because his people didn't find out who was spying on Wei Xi at all.
And Nalan didn't know, and he couldn't imagine how powerful Nalan Qi's power was.
Nalan Li subconsciously listed the person who found Wei Xi's problem as Nalan Qi's force.
Although they don't know what means Nalan has used, but because of this, they don't know how to deal with Nalan Qi.
Nalan didn't get too entangled when he thought of this.
Because his purpose has been achieved, he just needs to focus on one step.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates propose to start the next step now."
"This will have to be observed for a while, although there are still people in Shangjing now, but it is not a last resort, and those people cannot be moved."
When Yue Weiming heard Mr. Mu's words, he held the opposite opinion.
He also understands the importance of going to Beijing, but he is too impatient, and it is not at all like Nalan Li's style.
When Mr. Mu heard Yue Weiming's rebuttal, he also said up and down.
"However, now that Nalan Qi is poisoned, although I am not sure if it is true, this is also an indispensable good opportunity, if it succeeds, it will be their victory."
Speaking of which, it was obvious that Mr. Mu had already thought about the future.
He also thought for a long time about whether to implement the next step before making the current decision.
If Nalan hadn't told them the information now, they wouldn't have known that something like this had happened in Shangjing.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The voice seems to carry these eagerness, and it is easy to feel the eagerness that is coming.
Nalan Li felt this, and his face instantly turned gloomy, and he said in an unkind tone.
"Come in."
When the visitor entered the house, Nalan Li looked at the other party very unkindly, waiting for the other party to report.
The person who came in didn't hesitate, and directly knelt down and reported to Nalan Li.
"Lord Wang, the stronghold of Shuiyi Town has been wiped out."
"What?!"
This news made Mr. Mu and Yue Weiming's eyes widen, and they exclaimed directly.
They never thought about how Shuiyi Town was wiped out.
Because the stronghold there, but in the village of the water bandits, it was the top-ranked water bandits in the early emperor's period.
Even if it is now surrounded and suppressed by the Yuwen family, it has been more than ten years, and it has long since developed and grown.
However, now that someone came to tell them that the stronghold of Shuiyi Town had been destroyed, how could this be possible.
When Nalan Li heard the news, he also frowned.
Although he couldn't understand who did it, he was still calm and asked the man.
"Who did it? Can you find a clue? ”
The person who came to report was very frightened, and said nervously to the head of the king.
"Back to the prince, the person who came to report the situation, he ...... He's ......"
Saying that, the man was very frightened and prostrate on the ground, as if he had encountered something very painful.
Nalan Li looked at the report of his subordinates, and immediately felt a very headache.
Obviously, I was only discussing Nalan Qi's affairs today, but now, ......
Yes, Nalan Li has already understood the result of what his subordinates said.
The person who came to report was dead, and the result of the report was only the news that the stronghold in Shuiyi Town had been destroyed.
Nalan Li didn't understand what was going on.
No matter how bad it is, it won't even be a little bit of news.
This shows that either the enemy is well prepared and controls everyone, or someone has defected to the enemy.
In both cases, it is obviously more likely that the latter is more likely.
Even if someone delivers it, it means that the enemy's forces are not strong enough to directly control everyone.
In such a situation, Nalan Li is still possible to deal with it.
If everyone is controlled, then no matter how Nalan Li thinks, there will be no room for resistance.
Mr. Mu on the side saw Nalan Li's gloomy expression, and he didn't know what to say to comfort Nalan Li.
This incident was basically a big surprise to them.
The news they received a few days ago also said that everything was normal in Shuiyi Town.
Just wait for the final arrangement, and you will be able to transport that batch of materials to Qingzhou unconsciously.
But now, the sudden news of the destruction of the stronghold was completely unexpected.
And it also disrupted their plans, if it weren't for the fact that they were still talking about dealing with Nalan Qi just now, they were afraid that they would no longer be able to stand.
That being said, they were a little flustered right now.
Mr. Mu and Yue Weiming both understood what the person said, and there was only one person who came back to report the situation, but that person was still dead.
This is very worrying, even if it is a powerful force.
In such a matter, there will still be cases where the person who reported the information escapes.
But now not only did no one escape, but even the messenger died.
Mr. Mu was puzzled, for example, there were few forces on the rivers and lakes who would do it.
If there is such a force, the one he knows about recently is Taoyuanmen.
Although that force does not know the details, it is indeed able to do it, because they do have strength.
That weird blood peach blossom is something that people have to guard against.
The men he sent on the mission had reported to him that it was indeed strange.
As long as it touches flesh and blood, it grows, and even the dead have nothing left.
If it was said that it was done by Taoyuanmen, he would never deny it, Mr. Mu looked at the man and asked.
"Is there anything unusual about the person reporting it?"
