Chapter 127: Saltpeter

Li Shengxun wiped his hands clean and returned to the medical hall.

From today on, there is no Liang Yin in Northern Qi. Some of the relevant personnel of Qingquan Villa withdrew to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and some of them went to the South, and as for the rest, they changed their skins and continued to stay in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Liujin changed his face and continued to stay in Yingxiao's medical hall.

When Li Sheng attacked the people who came back, Liujin breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing so nervous?" Li Shengxun couldn't help but feel funny when she saw Liujin's nervous appearance, she sat at the desk, casually picked up the lantern and played, and said leisurely: "It's not the first time I've gone to the prison of Dali Temple, what are you doing so nervous?"

"It's not the first time I've been there, but going to my own prison is different from going to someone's prison."

The eldest princess took the risk of disapproval, openly intervened in state affairs as a woman, and repeatedly went in and out of important places in the imperial court.

She dared to do anything, up to the Shiqian Palace, down to the refugee camp, she had never been anywhere, let alone a Dali Temple.

"It's not the first time I've sneaked in." In the past, when she was in the Southern Jin Dynasty, she and her brother teamed up to bring down Mu's family, and she also sneaked into the prison to kill people and cut off Mu's back road.

"It's different." Rujin retorted disapprovingly.

Li Shengxian smiled slightly, not caring about Liujin's worries at all, "You can rest assured, the identity of the eldest princess of the Southern Jin Dynasty is enough to save her life wherever she is."

If she is arrested, the identity of the eldest princess is indeed enough to report her life, but the Southern Jin Dynasty will pay a huge price to welcome the eldest princess back, and the saint will welcome the eldest princess back. But the princess wouldn't be willing to spend that much on the saint.

Liujin sighed helplessly, and then said with a straight face, "News from the south?"

Li Sheng struck the hand of the lantern flower for a moment, and when he saw that he was still in the right color, he couldn't help but be solemn, "What happened?"

"On the south side, they found Zhou's ship, all the way from Xiaqiu to Jiangbei."

"The Zhou family is also a famous family in Xiaqiu, it is not strange that there are ships coming and going, what is on board? Weapons?" Li Shengxun has not forgotten why he replaced Yingxiao's identity.

Liujin shook his head, "Zhou's defense is tight, our people have never spied on the ship's objects, but when they unloaded, our people smelled the smell of saltpeter. The matter is big, and it is necessary to guard against it, so Wu Yang took a few people to explore the movement, and it can be confirmed that it is gunpowder saltpeter."

"Saltpeter!" Li Shengsheng was taken aback, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle, there are many people with a keen sense of smell among the internal guards, but when Zhou's precautions are extremely strict, their people can still smell it, then there is only one possibility - the amount of saltpeter is extremely large.

"You say they're going south?" Li Shengxi frowned.

Liujin nodded, "It's really going to the shores of the Li River."

When the Li River is divided today, the two countries are divided, the Li River is the border between the two countries, and it is an important place for soldiers, and the saltpeter is transported to the south, which is very southern, and it is not much to think about.

"Zhou's protégés are everywhere, Zhou Shuzhan also served as an official in Jiangbei after he was demoted to Beijing, and there are even military generals from the Zhou family stationed in Jiangbei, they do this...... Will it be ......?"

"No, it won't." Li Sheng's attack interrupted Liujin's words, at this time, a sneak attack and a war would not be beneficial to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and even less beneficial to the Zhou family, the Zhou family has always been unprofitable and cannot afford to do these things.

If the Northern Qi was strong, then the Battle of Lijiang would indeed help the Zhou clan regain military power, but the national strength of the Northern Qi was weak. If there is really a war, what will be ushered in will only be the destruction of the country, and under the nest, An will have finished his eggs, and the Zhou family will not be pleased.

Rujin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's good."

It's not that she's afraid of war, it's just that she's Li Shengxian's henchman, and she knows Li Shengxian's plan, and now is not the time to go to war, at least until the flood season passes.

"Not good." Li Shengxing shook his head, his face was not relaxed at all, "Large-scale saltpeter will definitely not be a small scheme, not to mention that the matter of Yuhua Dan at that time has not attracted the attention of the Zhou family, which shows how seriously the Zhou family attaches this matter. Such a large-scale saltpeter, Zhou's again

It's not a good thing to take it so seriously, and it's not a good thing."

She rubbed her head, and suddenly thought of something, her brows furrowed, "I remember that a few river embankments were newly repaired last year, so Northern Qi is not in a hurry to strengthen them this year. And those who are sent to build the dikes are the eunuchs."

Rujin nodded, "That's true......

Liujin was stunned, and suddenly said: "The Zhou family is also a famous family, with a strict family style, and the children who have been taught don't say that all of them are Xie Ting Yushu, but there will be a bottom line to some extent, so they won't be so unscrupulous."

If the saltpeter is directed at the eunuchs, then it is likely to be used to make a natural disaster to blow up the embankment, cause a big flood, ignite the anger of the people, and use it to deal with Guan Zhi, which is more than enough. And not only can they deal with the party, Zhou's protégés in the local area have a lot of old times, if Zhou Shuzhan and others have been prepared and rushed to the disaster in time, Zhou's can return to the court.

Li Shengxian shook his head, "Being in the center of power, being tainted by power every day, how many people keep their hearts? Some people can get out of the mud without staining, some people can dig into the mud, sink into the mud, and become mud, the family style may still be there, but people may not be the same. You have a pure heart, whether you meet things or people, you always like to think about the good. But have you forgotten? Mu Xu is also a son of a famous family, but in order to solve Huanzhi without blood, didn't Mu Xu also introduce the epidemic people into the crowd when Huanzhi was relieving the disaster?"

If she hadn't discovered it in time and hastily stopped it, the epidemic would have spread to the population on a large scale, and the consequences would have been unimaginable. Because of this, even if Mu Xu was once kind to her, affectionate to her, and her husband, she did not hesitate to kill it with her own hands.

"Blowing up the levee is my guess, but the aftermath is no less than the disaster of Muhammad. A catastrophe is often followed by a pandemic, and if it is really done, the consequences will be unimaginable. It must be stopped." Li Shengxian muttered softly.

"But we are not enough to stop the people of the Zhou clan in the officialdom of Northern Qi." If this happened in the Southern Jin Dynasty, it would be easy to solve, but it was the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Li Sheng's brows were tightly locked, the strong dragon couldn't suppress the ground snake, her power in the Northern Qi region was difficult to compete with the Zhou clan, Li Shengxian pursed his lips, "Arrange someone to do it first, I'll go and inform Rongzhi."

Believe it or not, it's up to Rongzhi.

Liujin nodded, and Li Shengxian admonished again: "Remember, you must be cautious, and you must not startle the snake."

Once the grass startles the snake, Zhou's dog will inevitably jump off the wall in a hurry and will not do it in advance, which is even more of a disaster.
