Father-in-law Gui approached Li Jing and whispered, "Master, our people are back!" It is said that ......"

"Shhhh Pitchers have ears! Li Jing took out his pen and ink and motioned for Gonggong Gui to write it down.

So Father-in-law Gui wrote down the news from the spies on a slip of paper.

"It's been mined."

The four big words were impressive, and a trace of worry flashed in Li Jing's eyes.

"Old Gui! You go out for a walk with me and eat less! This prince's river fresh food is so delicious, I can eat it a little. ”

Li Jing gave Minister Gui a look as he spoke, as if telling him that there might be someone here who would listen to us, and we would go out.

Li Jing followed Father-in-law Gui and came to the street, although it was night, but Yizhou City was very lively, and Li Jing and Father-in-law Gui walked on the street without attracting attention.

Even if someone is following them, they will not be overheard.

"Is it all mined?" Li Jing asked worriedly.

"Yes, sir, most of the places we've marked before have already been mined." Gonggong Gui replied.

Li Jing didn't think that this was the result, and the long silence made Gonggong Gui a little overwhelmed.

It's all mined, is this kid Li Ke going to rebel?

"Lao Gui, what kind of person do you think this Shu prince Li Ke is."

Gonggong Gui heard Li Jing's thoughts, but he didn't dare to break it, even if it was really Li Ke who wanted to rebel, he couldn't say it.

"The old slave thinks that the prince is an unruly person."

"You old slippery head, I didn't mean this, you know what I want to ask, you can be honest. How is this sold? Li Jing put his hands behind his back, walked to a dessert shop and stopped, pointed to a piece of cake and asked.

Father-in-law Gui took out his money bag and bought the piece of cake that Li Jing wanted.

turned around and showed it to Li Jing, and then said.

"The old slave thinks you don't have to worry, I see that the prince's mind is on eating, drinking and having fun, and the only self-motivation is probably to make money, you see that he has such a powerful submarine, which is not equipped with weapons, but is only used for sightseeing...... So don't worry, sir. ”

Although Li Jing has some suspicions, since he entered the city, Li Ke's attitude is indeed no problem, and he has not revealed his identity, so he should not be cheating.

"And who do you think it will be?" Li Jing scooped up a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth, and said vaguely.

Father-in-law Gui has been by Li Jing's side for so many years, and he can't fully understand the situation at this time.

I can't help but say it, but I can't talk nonsense, I have to talk about Li Jing's heart.

O my majesty! How do I know who is going to rebel, and if I do, then I am not complicit? If I were really complicit, would I be able to tell? Your question is too deadly.

Father-in-law Gui was very embarrassed, so he could only keep silent: "Maybe there is any misunderstanding, I can't say." ”

Li Jing was noncommittal, and seemed to eat the cake in his hand seriously.

Li Jing's silence made Gui Gongcheng honestly frightened, he knew that he was not satisfied with the answer he said.

But he would rather be scolded, and he didn't dare to express his opinion easily on this rebellious matter.

At this time, the cake in Li Jing's hand had been exhausted, and he slowly spoke: "Lao Gui, do you think it will be Li Shen, he is in charge of Nanzhao, and he has always been very ambitious, and I don't know if Li Ke has no ability to blame him?" ”

"The King of Dian, who has been in charge of Nanzhao for many years, is very popular, and the spies on the border have repeatedly reported that the King of Dian is well-trained, and the south can be stable only with his great scenery." Grandpa Gui didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.

When Li Jing heard this, the calm in his eyes just now had a hint of solemnity.

"I'm afraid it has ulterior motives, Lao Gui, how long was the last time Nanzhao wrote from there?"

"It's been a month ago, sir." Gonggong Gui replied respectfully.

"You sent more people, since they have all been mined, it means that it is not a day's work, but you haven't even gotten any news!"

Li Jing's tone was a little strong, which frightened Father-in-law Gui to kneel habitually, but halfway through the kneeling, Li Jing glanced at Father-in-law Gui with sharp eyes.

Father-in-law Gui couldn't kneel on his knees, so he could only half-bow his body, and his voice trembled slightly to plead guilty.

"The old man forgives the sins, and the old slave will send more people!"

Li Jing didn't speak, and continued to walk forward.

It's dangerous! Fortunately, this is on the street, and if I were in the palace, I am afraid that my old bone would suffer today.

Gonggong Gui stretched out his hand to his chest and smoothed his breath, as if he had a feeling of the rest of his life.

Li Jing said again: "This thing is related to the war between Dajing and the Northern Wilderness, whether the people can have time to recuperate depends on this battle, if this thing is gone, our chances of winning are not high!" You must be careful to find out for me! ”

"The old slave obeys! But master, don't you want Miss Su to marry and buy time? Why do you still ......" Gonggong Gui asked knowingly, just to ease the atmosphere just now.

"It's never a long-term solution, so be sure to find out!"

Li Jing remembered the black pipes he had seen in a courtyard during the day, and felt very suspicious.

So I decided to take advantage of the dead of night with my father-in-law Gui to take a look.

Relying on their memories, the two were rushing to the other side of the yard, but they ran into Wang Meng halfway.

Wang Meng asked with a surprised face: "Master Wang! What are you? ”

"I ate too much at night, come out and eat it." Li Jing replied.

Wang Meng frowned slightly, and immediately squeezed out a polite smile and said; "Do you want to send the two of you back?"

Father-in-law Gui knew that Li Jing still wanted to go and see the things in the courtyard, so he immediately replied: "Don't bother, I'll go back with my master after shopping again." ”

Wang Meng was not reluctant, and left first after being polite with Li Jing.

"Lao Gui, let's go back, you find someone to follow this Wang Meng." Li Jing looked at the back of Wang Meng leaving.

Before Gonggong Gui could react, Li Jing said again: "Forget it, follow me at this time, I guess I won't see anything, let's go back to the inn directly." ”

"Yes, sir."

It's really unpredictable, Gonggong Gui sighed quietly.

Li Jing looked at the crowds on the street, and the business of the shops on both sides was booming, and fell into deep thought.

"Lao Gui, how did you check the yard before?"

"Master, the spy said that it was difficult to get close to that courtyard at first, but then I went in to see, but there was nothing!"

Li Jing's eyes were full of doubts, such a behemoth disappeared without a trace in just one day?

"Keep exploring! I don't believe it, I still have to leave traces after the goose, give me a careful check. Li Jing's tone was a little tired.

Fortunately, the two arrived at the inn soon.

Gonggong Gui hurriedly served Li Jing to lie down.

Li Jing was half-lying on the bed, his eyes closed, although he was extremely tired, he did not feel sleepy.

The mind was full of saltpeter being mined, and the big black pipe in the yard.
