Chapter Seventy-Six: The Choice of Love and Righteousness

Yan paused in place for a moment, shook his head and sighed for a while, then turned to leave.

It was still early when he returned to Duyue Xuan, and as soon as the palace people brought a meal, they recounted his pursuit with Yan, and the three of them had a brief meal together.

"Listening to you, that assassin is still a woman, but who else has such a high level of cultivation except for the female guard?"

The more Qiu Liyue thought about it, the more clueless she became.

Ran Lingling thought more leniently, "Although the National Teacher's Mansion has drawn up a list of strangers for Lord Sikong, it is inevitable that it will not be hidden, and the follow-up should be considered in the long run." ”

Qiu Liyue looked at the small bamboo pipe placed on the table, "It seems that they still have the initiative, and we can only see the moves." He pushed the small bamboo pipe in front of Ran Lingling, "This letter is also asked to be handed over to Master Sikong." ”

"Okay!" Ran Lingling put away the small bamboo pipe, "Without further ado, I'll take my leave first." ”

After Ran Yiling left, Ding Yanfang spit out the question in his heart, "Don't we have to go together to see what is said in this letter?"

"No matter what the content of this letter is, it only shows one thing, the opposition party will take action in the near future, we cannot be led by the nose, we should be prepared to fight back. Qiu Liyue paced two steps indoors and suddenly said, "Let's go, let's go out of the palace too." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Naturally, it's Xingyinyuan, looking for General Qi!"

Yan's impression of Qiu Liyue gradually changed, he was indeed very similar to Yu Lingye, but the other side of the unruly playboy was very reliable.

Xingyin Garden has been repaired and cleaned up, and it has recovered its general appearance, except for the Linglong Seven Heart Pagoda that was sealed by the government and sealed by the Taide Zhenren's talisman and long flag, there are only a small number of officers and soldiers stationed inside, which is so, but this aristocratic high-roller's place for fun has become deserted and very withered.

When Qiu Liyue and Ding Yan walked into the attic, Qi Xu was looking at the topographic map.

Qiu Liyue coughed and successfully attracted his attention, "General Qi, how many troops can we call on in ten days?"

Qi Xu's eyes flashed, "What news did Gongzi bring?"

Qiu Liyue shrugged, "The news will be one step later." He sat down next to Qi Xu and studied the topographic map with him.

Yan's heart moved, "Young General, are we going to transfer troops?"

Qi Xu nodded, but his eyes did not leave the topographical map, "Huan Min has been in the military supervision of the Dafu for many days, and the generals who have close relations with the national teacher and Fei Ling can be eighty percent sure, although Lord Sikong was ordered by the king to preside over the case against the party, the national teacher is in a high position, so the national teacher's mansion was only ordered to avoid suspicion, and was not banned, those people are still thieves, and they are not afraid of summons, and they make a big fuss about their confessions." Dongyu's mutiny was only a matter of time. ”

Yan couldn't help but ask, "Do those rebel generals also have those from Dongyuzhou?"

Qi Xu's eyes raised and fell slightly, and he said lightly, "Yes, there are quite a few." However, floating on the bright side always reduces the threat by a little. ”

Qiu Liyue sighed, "Dongyu and Xitai people are no different, those who see blood are more likely to betray their original intentions, the concept is not so easy to adhere to, and the depravity released by desire is much easier!"

Qi Xu's eyes paused slightly, and he said lightly, "Blood, let some people grow, let others collapse, how to take pursuit as a concept without bloodshed, we are not judges of human nature, we just want to save ourselves." ”

Qiu Liyue sighed, "Say it casually, don't mind the general." ”

Qi Xu smiled slightly, and focused on the topographic map again.

Yan can't say why, a knot in the heart of the stem seems to be untied.

They analyzed the strength of the troops in the capital and outside the city for 800 li, and opened the forbidden army, and there was a real gap between the strength of the enemy and us, with 70,000 against 30,000.

"There are 50,000 forbidden troops in Changliuhou, and the total is 70,000 against 80,000, and I have a slight victory, but it is impossible for Changliu to listen to you and me. Qiu Liyue gently tapped her forehead with a fan bone, "If you miss the opportunity, I'm afraid that something will happen to you for a long time!"

Qi Xu pointed to the Xizhi Gate to the West City Gate of the palace on the topographic map, "At least 5,000 people need to guard this line before we can respond." ”

"Five thousand?" Qiu Liyue frowned, "Captain Cheng in the forbidden army was originally a friend of Gongzi's commander-in-chief, his father and brother were unjustly imprisoned by Concubine Ling three years ago and died, I can find him to think of a way." As for the long stay, I'm afraid I'll have to persuade Lord Sikong. ”

Qi Xu was silent for a while and said, "Lord Sikong has always been cautious, and has always taken the war as the next policy, I will go to meet him first, and then discuss the details." ”

"It's hard work General Qi. ”

Sikong Province

Sikong was in the study, although the letterhead was not long, he had read it for nearly half an hour, and there was a pill attached to the letter.

It wasn't until someone informed General Qi that he wanted to see him, that Sikong Wei suddenly got up and ordered, "Please wait in the small study for General Qi!"

He put away the letterhead, came to the small study, and ordered someone to make tea, "I have something to discuss with General Qi, and I am not allowed to come in without a summons." ”

The servant retreated.

"Lord Sikong has been trying cases for days, and it is rare to have a moment to rest, and he shouldn't have disturbed each other......"

Sikong shook his hand to stop it, his expression was very cordial, "Don't say these kind words to General Qi, I am an official in the same court as the old general, and I have been a colleague for forty years, and whatever we say to each other is straightforward, not to mention that they are all running for state affairs, so you don't have to be formal." ”

Qi Xu said, "So bluntly, my lord knows better than me, the root of this chaotic party's collusion lies in the support of the national teacher's government, although a few party henchmen have been detained at the moment, but the national teacher has not been harmed, if he rises again, I don't know what the adult will do?"

Sikong sighed, "The National Teacher's Mansion has protected Dongyuzhou for 600 years, and the utilitarian people have long been connected to the national fortune, how can they just do what they say? Just because they offended the Emperor Lu Niangniang, Dongyuzhou is full of trouble, so they can't act recklessly against the National Teacher's Mansion!"

Qi Xu frowned and said, "What the adults said makes sense, but the times are turbulent and the situation changes rapidly, how can it take time?"

Sikong stroked his beard, "I had a conversation with Taide Zhenren, who observed the appearance and behavior of the national teacher, and said that the national teacher is to encroach on the mind for external evils, as long as there is an appropriate time, you can do the method to exorcise evil spirits and return to their true nature." ”

Qi Xu was silent, he had experienced the curse of the resentful ghost death of the Linglong Seven Heart Tower, and it was difficult to guarantee that Zhongzheng Guoshi would not have a similar experience.

Sikong Wei continued, "I think that the national teacher and the old general were also confidants and old friends, and they cherished each other, and they were both civil and military in Dongyuzhou, if the old general took care of this matter personally, he would rather pay more sacrifices to save the national teacher......"

Qi Xu's eyes were hot, and he lowered his head, "Qi Xu understands." ”
