Chapter Seventy-Five: A Thunderbolt from the Clear
Li Cunmiao smiled bitterly: "I didn't even prepare a gift, and when I arrived, it was already midnight, so it was better to come back later." How do you plan to settle those juniors and disciples? ”
Chen Qiuming said: "How about all of them being included in your 'dark web'? Setting up a separate team to be in charge of intelligence and assassination can also be regarded as making the best use of people. ”
Li Cunqiao smiled: "It's exactly what I want." ”
That night, Wujian was called over by Chen Qiuming again, and Wujian thought that Chen Qiuming had designed some strange clothes, but he didn't expect Chen Qiuming to ask: "Wuji, is your "Jade Girl Sutra" complete?" I've been waiting for the flowers. ”
Speechless, he said sarcastically: "You haven't reached the crown yet, why are you so anxious?" Besides, when did I promise to marry you? ”
Chen Qiuming said in the tone of a rogue and hooligan in later generations: "It's not that I'm anxious, but I'm anxious for you, you will be thirty in a few years, and you will wither before you bloom, isn't it a pity?" ”
There is no woman who doesn't care about others sarcastically about her age, and Wujian is immediately so angry that she is going to smoke! In fact, she is only twenty-four this year, and there are many people who are still single in their thirties, but in this era, she is definitely an old girl.
Chen Qiuming continued to stimulate: "Why don't you show me the Jade Girl Sutra, I will help you refer to it together, it's better than you doing it behind closed doors, you also know my martial arts talent, it's definitely much stronger than you." ”
Chen Qiuming thought that Wujian would run wild, but who knew that Wujian suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, my Jade Girl Sect does have a shortcut to cultivate the Jade Girl Sutra, and that is double cultivation. ”
When Chen Qiuming heard this, he almost jumped up with excitement, and hurriedly said diligently: "Wuji, I am willing to serve you, in order to make you successful, I am willing to do my best!" ”
Wujian couldn't understand these words, but she also knew that it was not a good word, and she was not angry, she still said with a smile: "The double cultivation I am talking about will not be intercourse with men and women, but the mind method of men and women practicing the "Jade Girl Sutra" during the day, and then double cultivating at night, and there is no trace of double cultivation during double cultivation, and both men and women cannot have the slightest desire, otherwise, they will give up halfway, and if they go crazy, can you do it?" ”
Chen Qiuming was dumbfounded when he heard this, in this world, there is such an inhumane exercise? Which turtle king bastard created this? Naked and honest relative to not have desires, are you a eunuch?
Wujian looked at Chen Qiuming's expression, his heart was dark, he was teased by you every day, and he was not brought back by his mother today?
Chen Qiuming was not so easy to fool, and sneered: "I don't believe that there is a man in this world who is naked and face-to-face with you, and I don't believe that there is such a ridiculous martial arts in this world, could it be that you made it up to entertain me?" ”
Wujian directly threw the secret "Jade Girl Sutra" in front of Chen Qiuming, as if throwing a piece of rag, in fact, she was also very distressed about this exercise, and she could complete it with a trace of difference, but she had not completed the whole work for a long time.
Chen Qiuming didn't give up and picked up the exercises and looked through them from beginning to end, only to find that what Wujian said before was not false at all, and he couldn't have a good time if he wasn't perfect, otherwise his skills would be lost, and the method of double cultivation was not bad at all as Wuji said.
Chen Qiuming was bored and threw the "Jade Girl Sutra" back to Wuji, slammed the door very speechlessly, and walked for a long time, but found that he was out of his own door......
Time flickered, more than half a month passed, on this day, the high-level of Luzhou was discussing government affairs in the hall, and suddenly a sweater in a panic broke in, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Cunqiao, presented a letterbox and said: "Shizi, I just received an urgent report from Taiyuan. ”
Taiyuan? Still so flustered, Chen Qiuming suddenly flashed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and sure enough, Li Cunmiao didn't look at it twice, the hand that grabbed the cloth silk trembled directly, his eyes showed unbelievable grief, two lines of tears were left directly, and he screamed sadly in his mouth: "How can this be?" Father......
Seeing that Li Cunmiao's eyes showed unprecedented panic and confusion, Chen Qiuming took the letter and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "In the middle of the night on the twenty-second day of this month, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, vomited blood and fainted. ”
Chen Qiuming had a ridiculous feeling after reading it, in the original real history, Li Keyong died of illness at the beginning of this year, according to historical records, the cause of death was Zhu Wen angry to death after losing the battle, Chen Qiuming originally thought that this life changed history because of his arrival, who would have thought that Li Keyong would still be unable to escape the arrangement of fate.
In addition, what is even more ridiculous is that Li Keyong has many righteous sons, but only one son, although because he is still loyal to the Tang family in his heart, he did not set up Li Cunqiao as the prince, only as the prince, but who in the entire Jin Kingdom does not know that Li Keyong regards Li Cunqiao as the only heir?
But in the current will, the throne is passed to the godson, but there is no mention of the own son, how is this possible? At the end of last year, when Li Ke was used in Luzhou, Chen Qiuming still clearly remembered that Li Keyong said that the future of the Jin Kingdom depended on Li Cunqiao and himself to create.
There must be a problem here, and even, there is a problem with Li Keyong's death, in this life, the Jin State has an obvious upper hand over the Liang State, Li Keyong is still a grandmaster, how could he suddenly get sick and die violently?
Chen Qiuming turned his head to look, Li Cunmiao was still in tears and his eyes were dull, although he was a little unbearable, Chen Qiuming still said directly: "Yazi, your father is very likely to have been killed by a traitor!" ”
Li Cunmiao regained a little consciousness when he heard this, and then looked at Chen Qiuming in shock, Chen Qiuming passed the letter to Zhou Dewei and said: "First of all, your father is a grandmaster, how could he die violently without illness or disaster or for no reason?" ”
"Secondly, if your father died of a normal illness, how could he pass on the throne to Li Cunhao and not to you? You are not only a parent and son, you have no merit and no bad deeds, are you not afraid of causing gossip and even chaos in the Jin Kingdom if you pass on the throne to Li Cunhao? ”
"And the strangest thing is that in the will, there is no mention of you, do you think it is possible?"
Just now, Li Cunmiao was stunned by this sudden news, completely unbelievable and unacceptable, but after Chen Qiuming's reminder, Huo Ran got up, yes, how could his father, who has always been healthy, suddenly become seriously ill, and how could his father pass on the throne to Li Cunhao?
Li Cunmiao gritted his teeth and said: "I want to go to Taiyuan immediately to find out the truth, no matter who dares to harm my father and emperor, I will definitely break him into ten thousand pieces!" ”
At this time, Zhou Dewei had already finished reading the letter, and after listening to Chen Qiuming and Li Cunmiao's words, Zhou Dewei hurriedly stood up and admonished: "The son of the world must not be reckless, if it is really as the military advisor guessed, from the night before yesterday to today, I am afraid that Taiyuan Mansion has fallen into the hands of traitors." ”
"If the prince goes to Taiyuan Mansion alone, I am afraid that he will be killed by traitors, and if he goes to Taiyuan with all his army, I am afraid that he will be nameless, and even cause chaos in the Jin Kingdom, and the soldiers will kill each other."
"It's better to stabilize first and find out all kinds of news, no matter what, the first emperor died, the imperial court will inevitably send a messenger to announce the decree, it is better to see what the will is first, and then the prince will consider how to go to Taiyuan to mourn."
In fact, what Zhou Dewei said is more stable, a bit of an old Cheng Mouguo, and Li Cunmiao's prestige in the Jin State is not low, if he first contacts and buys other powerful factions from all walks of life, and then acts together, the certainty is much greater.
But Chen Qiuming didn't think so, and reprimanded Zhou Dewei: "If it is really as you said, when Li Cunhao ascends the throne, then it will be called unjustifiable." ”
"If there is really a conspiracy in the death of the first emperor, Li Cunhao and other traitors will inevitably try to destroy the evidence, if the first emperor is buried directly, how can we find out the truth of the matter? Can you still dig a grave? ”
After speaking, he turned to Li Cunqiao and said: "The soldiers are fast, I will personally go with you, only with the 'dark web' and wolf rides, with me, even if Taiyuan is the Longtan tiger's den, I can also protect your life without worry, as for Luzhou, Zhou Dewei is in charge, and you and others are jointly assisted, you must strictly prevent the raid of the Liang State, as long as you ensure that Luzhou is not lost, you will be a great achievement." ”
Li Cunmiao can't wait to fly to Taiyuan immediately, of course he agrees with Chen Qiuming's opinion, not to mention that he knows Chen Qiuming's current strength, so he shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Immediately prepare according to the words of the military advisor, and prepare filial piety. ”
Chen Qiuming is not worried about the defense of Luzhou, Luzhou is now strong and strong, with sufficient grain and grass, and it is enough to hold on for a year, the only thing he is not worried about now is that he is innocent.
He ran to Zhang Juhan's secluded mansion, explained the situation first, and then requested: "Master, it is not easy to establish the foundation of Luzhou, and when the apprentice is not there, please ask the master to take care of one or two." ”
"One is to protect the safety of Zhou Dewei and other high-level officials, and the other is to trouble the master to keep an eye on Wuji, if she doesn't sabotage, just leave and let her go, if she has bad intentions, please kill the master directly!"
Zhang Juhan nodded and responded: "You can go to Taiyuan with peace of mind, I can reflect on myself." ”
In the afternoon, Li Cunmiao and Chen Qiuming took the "dark web" and "wolf ride" with a total of more than 200 horses were ready, and Zhou Dewei, Jia Huan, Wujian and others saw each other off at the city gate.
Chen Qiuming glanced at Wujian complicatedly, and said in his heart, Wuji, you must not disappoint me!
Li Cunmiao has now returned to his heart like an arrow, and said to Zhou Dewei and the others: "Wait until you go back, remember the advice of the military advisor, and when I come back, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" ”
After finishing speaking, he turned the horse's head and took the lead in galloping the horse, Chen Qiuming saw this, so he could only spur the horse to catch up.
Luzhou is only more than 300 miles away from Taiyuan Mansion, and there is no large city all the way, and it can be reached in half a day, but Li Cunqiao and others set off in the afternoon and had to rush to the night, so they did not arrive at Taiyuan Mansion until three o'clock on the second day, and Taiyuan Mansion at this time did not even open the city gate.
Li Cunmiao didn't have the patience to wait, so he rode directly to the edge of the moat and shouted to the guards of the city tower: "I'm Li Cunmiao, quickly put down the drawbridge, open the city gate, I want to enter the city!" ”
