"Childe, what do you understand?"

An Su couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Li Yi's face showing a look of sudden realization.

And the others also looked at Li Yi curiously.

"I understand why those people are using the Los Angeles shovel, and I can roughly guess what the big boxes are in."

Li Yi looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and then said slowly.

"Oh? What the hell is it? ”

In fact, everyone doesn't care too much about why those people use the Luoyang shovel, after all, that thing is basically useless except for making holes.

But they were very curious about what was in the box.

"If we're mistaken, those boxes should be filled with thunder."

Li Yi didn't go around the bush, he directly said his guess.

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

Now many people have seen the power of thunder in Shouzhou City.

At the same time, they now suddenly understood why those people were using the Los Angeles shovel.

"You mean these guys are going to bury the Thunderbolt in the ground?"

Keiko asked incredulously.

"Yes, it's no wonder that when we were fighting those people just now, the young man in their lead only mobilized a few dozen people to besiege us."

Li Yi explained why the young man had only mobilized more than forty Tiger Battalion soldiers to besiege them, even though he had many people under his command.

At the same time, this is why after they fled, they did not search for them on a large scale.

"In that case, can we secretly go and order those boxes?"

Speaking of this, An Su's face suddenly showed a hint of evil intent and said.

"That's a good idea, as long as we light one box, the others will inevitably explode."

Qi Chao, a guy who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, also said.

The others also had eager expressions on their faces.

However, Li Yi did not agree.

"We can't blow up this batch of thunderstorms."

As soon as Li Yi's words came out, everyone showed puzzled looks.

They didn't understand why Li Yi didn't agree that this was obviously an excellent opportunity to weaken the imperial court and resist the attack of the grassland army.

However, although everyone didn't understand, none of them said anything to question Li Yi.

"I know what you're thinking right now, but I wanted to light them all as you did when I thought about the contents of the box, but I think we can't do that."

Li Yi also saw everyone's doubts, so he spoke.

"Oh? What is the rationale for this? ”

Although everyone was embarrassed to question it, Mr. Shangyang did not scruple so much.

As one of the most prestigious and powerful people in the room, he didn't need to think about it that much.

"I know what people think! Maybe everyone thinks that these thunderstorms were prepared by the imperial court to deal with Zongzheng Temple, but I can tell you that they are not at all. ”

"You said that these thunderbolts were not prepared by the imperial court to deal with the vassal kings of Zongzheng Temple?"

Li Yi's words even Qi Lao felt very surprised.

"Li Yi, you explain things clearly, how are you sure that these thunderbolts are not used by the imperial court to deal with the vassal kings of Zongzheng Temple?"

Mr. Shangyang also said with a solemn face.

"I think many of the people present have seen the power of the thunderstorms, so you can roughly estimate how many thunderstorms it will take to kill those vassal kings' armies just now."

As soon as Li Yi's question came out, everyone immediately fell into deep thought.

At this time, everyone began to carefully estimate in their hearts how many people could be killed by a thunderbolt.

"If you count according to the thunderstorms we saw in Shouzhou City, in a place with narrow terrain, such as in Wengcheng, a thunderstorm can probably kill everyone within a radius of about five meters."

Keiko replied with a frown.

"That's right, if the formation is relatively dense, a thunderbolt can probably kill twenty or thirty people."

Since Hai Yin is a steppe person, he pays much more attention to the thunder than others.

"In that case, let's calculate for the time being that a thunderbolt killed twenty people, and if we want to kill all those vassal kings and vassal kings' guards, it basically needs more than a hundred thunderbolts."

Li Yi took over the words of a few people and said.

"Almost! If hundreds of thunderbolts are buried in an urn city, it can basically bomb the entire urn city. ”

Keiko said after making a rough estimate in his heart.

"That's right, but according to Ansu just now, there are a lot of boxes in that yard, and the number of Luozhou shovels they got is also quite a lot, which can show that the other party is going to bury the thunder far beyond our imagination."

Li Yi continued.

"Somewhat!"

Qi Lao began to stroke his gray beard at this time and said.

"So now it seems that their target is not those vassal kings and vassal kings' guards at all."

Li Yi gave the final speculation.

"Is it possible that the imperial court wants to use this thunderbolt to blow up the Yaowu army in the city and the Jinling City guard camp into ashes?"

At this time, Qi Ning stood up again and put forward his guess.

"If you count the number of Yaowu Army and Jinling City Guards, those thunderstorms can make sense in numbers, but this involves another problem."

Li Yi glanced at Qi Ning and slowly spoke.

"What's the problem?"

"That's where they planted these thunderbolts."

Li Yi looked around and said.

"Is there anything wrong with burying the Thunderbolt here?"

The crowd also looked around and wondered.

"Have you forgotten that this is the north of Jinling City?"

Li Yi reminded.

"What's wrong with Chengbei?"

When everyone heard this, they still didn't understand what Li Yi meant by this.

"Wait!"

Just when everyone wanted to continue asking, Jing Zizheng suddenly waved his hand to stop it.

Everyone looked at Keiko with a contemplative look on his face, and they all looked at him curiously.

"Although the north of the city is not a prosperous area of Jinling City, it is the area where the Fang City of the entire Jinling City is located, and this is the area where Jinling City's bulk materials are traded."

Keiko said as she wandered back and forth with her hands behind her back.

"And although there are a small number of hilly terrain outside the north gate of Jinling City, most of it is still dominated by plains, and more importantly, outside the north gate of Jinling City, it is where the Yangtze River meanders."

Keiko continued to mumble to herself.

"Therefore, once you escape from Jinling City, you can take a boat along the Yangtze River all the way east, and you can go straight into the sea."

Speaking of this, Jing Zizheng's eyes immediately revealed two essences.

"I see! Now I understand it thoroughly! ”

Keiko then said loudly with a happy face.

"Senior brother, it seems that you still see this situation more clearly!"

Immediately, he patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said.

"Actually, it's not that I can see clearly, it's just that I think outside the box."

Li Yi shook his head and said.

"I said, what kind of dumb riddle are you two brothers playing here?"

Seeing what Li Yi and Jing Zizheng said, they didn't understand a word, and they couldn't help but say impatiently.

"Hey! In fact, this matter is simply the thunder and thunder brought by those people, and the ambush here is not to deal with Zongzheng Temple, nor to deal with the Yaowu Army and the Jinling City Guard. ”

Keiko is speaking.

"They brought so many thunderstorms, not against Zongzheng Temple, not against the Yaowu Army and the Jinling City Guard Battalion, are they still ready to deal with the grassland army."

Qi Chao teased with disdain when he heard this.

Originally, he thought that he was teasing Li Yi and Jing Zizheng like this, and they would definitely come up with an explanation.

But when he said this, he waited for a while, but he didn't hear Li Yi and Jing Zizheng's defense.

"Could it be that the imperial court really brought so many thunderstorms to blow up those grassland troops?"

Seeing the smiles on Li Yi and Jing Zizheng's faces, everyone couldn't react for a while.

"This is impossible, isn't it deliberate for the grassland army to attack Jinling City in the south?"

Mr. Shangyang couldn't accept Li Yi and Jing Zizheng's statement in the first place.

"That's right, the imperial court spent so much money to get the grassland army to Jinling City, how could it be easy to kill them with thunder?"

Qi Lao also couldn't believe what Li Yi and Jing Zizheng said.

"I know people think our ideas are ridiculous, but the reason why you think we're thinking is ridiculous is because you forgot a very important issue."

Li Yi stood up at this time and said to everyone's skeptical eyes.

"What's the problem?"

"The most critical question is what is the purpose of the imperial court's painstaking efforts to arrange the grassland army to go south?"

"Do you still need to ask, the imperial court arranged for these grassland armies to go south in order to destroy Zongzheng Temple with their hands!"

Qi Chao said without thinking about it.

As soon as his words fell, Mr. Shangyang and Qi Lao's faces immediately showed surprise.

And Hai Yin's face immediately showed a look of horror.

The others were all puzzled when they saw the drastic change in the faces of the three people.

They couldn't understand why the three of them had such a big reaction after hearing Qi Chao's answer.

"I think the three of you already understand why, right?"

Jingzi was seeing the expressions on the faces of the three people, and he immediately knew that the three people had understood the truth.

"Although Emperor Shengheng seems to be mediocre, he has played the emperor's mental technique too clearly."

Elder Qi took a long breath and then exhaled slowly.

"Yes, his move can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone, and it can be regarded as calculating all the forces of all parties."

Mr. Shangyang also said leisurely as a result.

"Grandpa, what the hell are you talking about?"

Qi Ning saw that her grandfather and Mr. Shangyang were also playing dumb riddles with Li Yi and Jingzizheng, so she immediately stepped forward and pulled Qi Lao's sleeve robe and asked.

"Don't you understand it now? Xiao Chao had already said just now that those thunderstorms were prepared to deal with the grassland army. ”

Qi Lao gently patted his daughter's head and said.

"But weren't these grassland armies deliberately allowed by the imperial court to go south? Since this is the will of the imperial court, how could they want to blow up these steppe armies with thunder? ”

Qi Ning continued to ask.

"If one day the stone mill for grinding noodles is thrown away, what will the donkey that still pulls the grinding do?"

Qi Chao said with a wry smile.

"Yes, your Dayu sage once said something that I like very much: the birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked."

Hai Yin's face showed a hint of sadness and said.

"What is this? Can you speak directly, I really don't understand this cloud, mountain and fog cover. ”

Qi Chao scratched his ears and cheeks at this time and said.

At this time, the others showed a sudden realization on their faces.

They already understand the truth.

"You stupid court arranged for the grassland army to go south in order to completely wipe out Zongzheng Temple, and once Jinling City is captured, Emperor Shengheng's wish to get rid of Zongzheng Temple has been achieved, and then the grassland army will lose its use value."

Qi Ning saw that her younger brother still didn't understand the truth, and she couldn't help but say with disgust.

"But the grassland army has not lost its use value, they still have the last bit of value."

At this time, Hai Yin, who was a little stunned, took over the conversation and continued.

"The grassland army has already destroyed the Zongzheng Temple, so what remaining use value can there be?"

Mr. Shangyang only thought that he had thoroughly seen through the essence of this matter.

But he didn't expect Hai Yin to say that the grassland army had other surplus value.

And Qi Lao on the side stroked his long beard again at this time, and frowned in confusion.

"The last usable value of the grassland army is to use their lives to establish an image of a saint who saves the country and the people in times of danger for Emperor Shengheng."

Speaking of which, Hai Yin's face was already flushed.

Although he has made up his mind to cut off all the past and completely devote himself to Li Yi's command.

But when he knew that Emperor Shengheng planned to wipe out their 20,000 grassland children at once, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

After all, there are more than 20,000 people of the same clan, and once these people are wiped out, how many families on the grassland should be fragmented.

At this time, he very much wanted to open his mouth and beg Li Yi to destroy all the thunder.

But he didn't know how to open his mouth.

After all, more than 20,000 people came to Jinling City this time to slaughter the people of Dayu and plunder their wealth.

From the perspective of the Dayu people, these 20,000 people are innocent.

Li Yi saw Hai Yin's face suddenly painful and hesitant expression, he stepped forward and patted Hai Yin's shoulder and said.

"I know you can't bear to see your people die just yet, but this is the fault of the steppe army, and if we really want to prevent this from happening again, then we must completely change the way of the world."

"Childe, I know, I will definitely try to help you complete that beautiful idea, and we will definitely let the Dayu people and the grassland people live in harmony and equality on this land."

Hae-in gritted his teeth and said firmly.

"But I don't understand that at this time, there are still tens of thousands of people in the grassland army, and they are besieging the Dayu Imperial Capital at this time, once the 20,000 grassland troops attacking Jinling City are destroyed, then the grassland army is afraid that they will attack the Dayu Imperial Capital frantically, right?"

Mr. Kamiyo suddenly asked this question.

"If the grassland army really attacks the Dayu Imperial Capital frantically, then Emperor Shengheng will wake up laughing even if he is dreaming!"

Li Yi said slowly.

"Why is that?"

Mr. Shangyang said puzzled.

"Do you really think that the reinforcements that Emperor Shengheng has mobilized from all over the country are vegetarians?"

"But isn't the current battle situation in the imperial capital that the grassland army has been suppressing Dayu's army?"

Mr. Shangyang had heard that the situation faced by the imperial capital was not very good.

"Mr. Shangyang, you underestimate Emperor Shengheng too much, I knew that he was definitely a scheming emperor when I was an official in the court before, so I believe that Emperor Shengheng that Li Yi said has always been firmly in control of the overall situation in the dark."
