Chapter 419 Rebels

  Li Ji walked towards the study and ordered as he walked.

   "Go to Kaiyang Street to prepare a shop."

   Gao Shan reminded: "Our family has no shops in Kaiyang Street."

  He wanted to talk about this just now, but because of the presence of Princess Wang and Real Feihe, he was embarrassed to speak.

  He thought that King Zhao had forgotten about this. After all, there were too many shops under the name of King Zhao, and King Zhao didn’t care about these trivial matters on weekdays. It was normal not to know where the shops were.

  Li Ji glanced at him faintly.

   "The king said that there is it."

  Of course he knew that he had no shop on Kaiyang Street.

  But what does that matter?

   Even if you don’t have one, you can buy a shop with a little money.

  Is he still short of this money?

  Gao Shan was taken aback, and immediately reacted, and hurriedly responded: "The servant understands."

  He had to get someone to return to the palace as soon as possible, and ask the accountant to spend a sum of money to buy a shop on Kaiyang Street.

Chen Wangbei stood upright at the entrance of the study. His clothes were stained with dust. Although his face was fresh and clean, but there were a lot of scum on his chin and his hair was a bit messy. When he came back from the field, he looked like a man in the dust.

  When he saw King Zhao coming, he immediately knelt on one knee.

   "Subordinates pay respect to His Royal Highness King Zhao."

  Li Ji: "Have you waited for a long time?"

  Chen Wangbei: "No, my subordinates have just arrived."

  Jinshu opened the door.

  Li Ji walked in first, followed by Chen Wangbei.

  Jinshu poured a cup of herbal tea for each of them.

  She knew that the two had something to say, so she quit silently, and finally did not forget to bring the door to her room.

  Chen Wangbei took out a letter from his arms and put it on the book case solemnly.

  "This is a letter written by General Xuanwei who is in charge of guarding Lingnan. He asked his subordinates to bring it back and forward it to the prince."

  General Xuanwei was once a general who was pulled up by the Lord Zhen Guo with one hand. Later, because of political disagreements, the relationship between the two fell apart and they broke up directly.

After   , he was sent to Lingnan by the emperor, under his control of the 50,000-day mighty army.

  Since then they have not had any contact.

  In the eyes of outsiders, they are already enemies who do not interact with each other.

  But Li Ji knows that those are just illusions for outsiders. In fact, they have secretly communicated with each other in private.

  Following the death of Lord Zhen Guo, the communication between the two also ended.

  In the past few years, Li Ji has never received any letters from General Xuanwei.

  He thought that General Xuanwei didn't want to get involved with him anymore, but he didn't expect to suddenly receive a letter from General Xuanwei at this time.

  Li Ji opened the letter and pulled out a thin piece of rice paper.

  There are a lot of words written densely on the paper, and in summary, there are two things—

  The first thing is that after King Dongyang fled to Lingnan, he hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and married the daughter of a local village owner. With the support of that village owner, it was difficult for the court to take them.

  The second thing is to tell Li Ji that the reason why he has not actively contacted Li Ji for so many years is not because he forgot his friendship with Zhen Guo Gong, but to protect Li Ji.

Although Li Ji was already well-known on the battlefield at that time, he still carried the spirit of a young man. General Xuanwei worried that he would do something uncontrollable on impulse, so he deliberately unilaterally broke off with Zhen Guo. Public relations.

  But in fact, for so many years, General Xuanwei has always sent people to secretly protect Li Ji.

  To see Li Ji grow to this point, General Xuanwei was very pleased. If given the opportunity, he hopes to meet Li Ji.

  After reading the contents of the letter, Li Ji didn't have much reaction.

  He threw the letter paper into the pen sink.

  The ink on the rice paper quickly melted away and blurred into one piece.

  Li Ji was very clear in his heart that what General Xuanwei said could not be fully believed.

  Said that someone was sent to protect him secretly, but in fact, it was more about monitoring and observation.

  Since the death of Lord Zhen Guo, the only person in this world who knows that Lord Zhen Guo and General Xuanwei have a relationship is Li Ji.

  General Xuanwei was worried that Li Ji would betray him, so he sent someone to stare at him secretly. As long as he showed the slightest idea of ​​wanting Gaomi, his life would be gone.

After these six years of observation, General Xuanwei found that Li Ji not only did not betray him, but also climbed higher and higher, and the accumulated merits even surpassed that of Zhen Guogong. This gave General Xuanwei the desire to contact Li Ji secretly. idea.

  Man is not for himself.

  There is nothing to blame for General Xuanwei’s actions. If it were replaced by Li Ji, he would do the same.

  Li Ji sat on the low couch, leaned back lazily, and put his right hand to the side casually, his large sleeves hanging down along the armrest.

   "Let’s talk about it, how about King Dongyang?"

  Chen Wangbei immediately told their experience.

  He was ordered to chase the rebels with a flying dragon.

  Dongyang King and Xu Jiwu led the rebels all the way to Lingnan, and finally fled into the deep mountains and old forests.

  The terrain in the mountains is complex, and Chen Wangbei did not dare to go too deep. He only searched the edge of the mountains and forests, and finally returned to no avail.

  In desperation, Chen Wangbei could only contact General Xuanwei who was stationed in Lingnan, hoping to get help from the other party.

  General Xuanwei was very enthusiastic.

  He personally led Chen Wangbei and his party into the mountain and found the traces left by the rebels.

  It's a pity that they are one step late.

  When they found the rebels, King Dongyang had married the daughter of a local village owner.

Many ethnic minorities have gathered in the southern area of ​​Lingnan. These ethnic minorities have formed cottages of different sizes. The new father-in-law of the King of Dongyang happens to be the owner of the largest stockade. Everyone must call him the master of the big stockade.

  Those stockades are united together and have their own set of rules.

  No matter what happened to the people in their stockade, it was the stockade’s internal discussion to solve it, and outsiders couldn't get in at all.

  Even the local government cannot control them.

  Faced with the imperial army that came to capture the Dongyang King, the main village master led the villagers to surround them.

  The numbers of the two sides are similar, but the imperial army is not familiar with the place, so they are not sure that they can win.

  The most important thing is that if they really want to fight, the local peace that has been maintained for many years will be broken, and King Xiaonan, who lives next door, will probably come in.

  After weighing, General Xuanwei decided to take a step back.

  He took people out of the forest.

  It didn’t take long for the imperial army to rush to Lingnan.

  General Xuanwei came forward again and took them into the mountain to capture King Dongyang.

   However, when they found the stockade, they found that the entire stockade was empty and there was no one inside.

  The imperial army has been searching in the mountains for a long time. Not only was it unable to find the rebels, but because they were unfamiliar with the terrain, many people fell into the trap, and they lost hundreds of people in just three days.

  General Xuanwei noticed something was wrong.

  He suspects that this is a set deliberately set by the rebels, and proposes to withdraw the troops temporarily. After going back, he will find a way to decide what to do next?

  However, the two generals who were ordered to put down the rebellion were unwilling to leave empty-handed and decided to set the mountain on fire.

  As a result, this move aroused the anger of all the stockades in the mountains, and even the villagers living in the mountains were also excited.

    I have been out of town these few days, and the update time is confusing, sorry! QAQ
