There were heavy clouds in Wenning County, and the earth was shaking in Cizhou Prefecture.
Riders with small flags on their backs came out of the city gate in an endless stream. Some went north to Jiankang, while others went to various places to mobilize troops.
More than two thousand armored men were prepared under Li Yizhen's order. Under the leadership of the two military leaders, a long procession headed south, accompanied by baggage vehicles filled with grain, grass, arrows, and prostitutes accompanying the army. with businessmen.
Behind the huge banner with the character "Liang" was an entourage of people of all colors. The pretty girls smiled coquettishly and solicited business, while the salesmen pushing carts and carrying poles headed south with their goods.
The military men who went south all had money and food for the Anjia family that had just been allocated by Xing Yushitai. It was the time when they had the most money, and it was also a good time for them to sell and make profits.
Wang Jian naturally wanted to take advantage of such a grand occasion. He held a banquet on the tower, saying that he wanted to practice it for Li Yushi and wished him immediate success.
Of course, Tiqi Yamen also received the invitation, and Wang Changshi invited Suche and Shi Chibao to attend the ceremony together.
The Third Young Master Su naturally declined politely, as Su Che had no interest in such a scene. Shi Chibao also prudently chose to refuse.
Shi Qianhu was not a grudge-bearing person, but just now Wang Jian sent people to surround Tiqi Yamen. Now that they were serving wine, Shi Qianhu naturally had a reason not to go.
Su Che stayed in the mansion with the old master Yin Yang Dharma King, but Lu Bai and Zhu Yi ran to watch the excitement.
The masters of the fifth-grade Huandan realm are usually not seen; these are all half-step gods.
Not to mention Li Yizhen, a master of returning elixirs with a special practice.
Lu Bai and Zhu Yi couldn't stop talking about it when they came back after seeing Li Yizhen's momentum.
When Li Yushi left the city, the scene was huge. First of all, he was led by a hundred colorful tigers, each wearing black leather armor and roaring ferociously, which frightened the people watching the excitement into panic.
Then Li Yushi appeared riding on a huge six-tusked war elephant. Lu Bai said that the six-tusked war elephant seemed to have lightning flashing in its pupils, while Zhu Yi was more direct, saying that Li Yizhen's arrogance was like The barbarian king came from the south.
There was a little bit of disappointment between the two of them.
Su Che felt that the rebels who least expected Daliang to win were naturally the Sikongtu group outside Wenning County. The second rebel who didn't want Daliang to win should be himself.
As for Lu Bai and Zhu Yi, they still have traditional thinking. There are only so many merits. The rioters in Wenning County were defeated at the first touch. Now that they encounter a ruthless person like Li Yizhen, they may not be destroyed at the first touch.
Where will the brothers go to seek credit for promotion and fortune?
Suche naturally disapproved of the thoughts of his subordinates, but he would not lead them to change their thinking.
Judging from the reactions of Li Yizhen and Xiong Shou, the people who had harmed them in the imperial court had not been completely liquidated. After all, Bailu Cave was still fine.
The current situation might not be just testing by these people.
In addition, Su Che felt that the emperor in Jiankang Palace did not play any good role.
The emperor, at best, is called the Son of Heaven, but at worst, he is just a single man.
The fate of his Liuhe Canglong was simply dancing on the emperor's most sensitive nerves.
There is only one owner of imperial power, and it cannot be shared by husband, wife, father and son.
Even if I don't have a disloyal heart, as long as I carry this fate, I will definitely be a thorn in the side of His Majesty.
So now someone in Cizhou stepped forward to attract the court's attention, and Mr. Su was happy to have someone share the firepower for him.
It would be better not to have just one Liuhe Canglong, but if some overlord is still alive, there would be a few more like Emperor Zhenwu, King of Sun and Moon, etc., and it would be better to have a big gathering of rebels.
"Do you all think Li Yushi will be victorious?"
Su Che looked at Lu Bai and Zhu Yi and wondered where their confidence in Li Yizhen came from.
"Young Master has never seen Li Yushi's six-tusked war elephant. It looks like a hill from a distance. If it were to gallop on the battlefield, I'm afraid everyone who stands in its way would be defeated."
Zhu Yi shook his head: "There are also those ferocious tigers, which are no less powerful than light cavalry when released. Li Yushi has taken the path of controlling beasts. If he fights with practitioners, it is hard to say whether he will win or lose, but Wen Ning's side is just some ordinary ones. It’s just the common people.”
Lu Bai also followed suit.
Su Che looked at Yin Yang Dharma King and found that this old god was still there.
Although Li Yizhen's ability to control beasts was tantamount to massacre against an army composed of mortals, there was also Sikong Tu, a ghost commander who had led troops in the Yin and Yang world for many years.
A ferocious beast meets an evil spirit, and the outcome is yet to be determined.
Yin Yang Dharma King turned his head and found Su Che looking at him intently, with a smile on his old face.
When it comes to Sikong Tu's background, no one can beat his old master.
"What do you think, uncle?"
Su Che looked at Yin Yang Dharma King and asked.
Lu Bai and Zhu Yi listened attentively when they saw Su Che asking questions.
Although this man's identity was known to the outside world as the father of Su Che's concubine, the two of them had been following Mr. Su for so long, and they had never seen Mr. Su raising any other wives or seducing any girls.
Moreover, Su Che was very respectful to his uncle and served him like a teacher, so they thought that this was probably some master invited by the Su family, who changed his name and took care of Su Che.
After all, the teacher on the surface is Huang Tiandao, so he simply arranged such a name.
In fact, not only Lu Bai and Zhu Yi, but also the entire Su family, from the arrogant manager Su Fu to the maids and servants below, were all very respectful to this uncle.
After all, this person's bearing is also here.
"Sikongtu is definitely not an ordinary ghost cultivator." Yin Yang Dharma King looked at Suche: "And he alone cannot set off such a situation. I heard that he had connections with the White Deer Cave when he was in the Yin and Yang Realm."
White Deer Cave?
Why are they there for everything?
When Su Che heard the name of Bailu Cave, he felt something was wrong. Among the people who dealt with him in Jiankang City, the leader was Bailudong. According to them, the reason why they wanted to eliminate this Liuhe Canglong was to maintain the peace of the world and prevent further trouble.
But now it was them who were behind Sikongtu's revolt.
Third Young Master Su thought and glanced at Yin Yang Dharma King.
Back then, the six ghost commanders in the Yin and Yang Realm, and Sikong Tu, who was in charge of military power, colluded with the Bailu Cave outside. Bai Hejiao, who was in charge of intelligence, seemed to be a woman. This intelligence and military affairs are all run by moles. You are really big-hearted. .
When Su Che thought of this, he couldn't help but change his mind.
If this matter involves Bailu Cave, I cannot stay at home and lie down either emotionally or rationally.
Those old and new grudges with Bailu Cave, not only to recover the capital, but also to make them pay some interest.
At this time, a message suddenly came from outside that Shi Chibao was coming to visit.
Naturally, Suche quickly ordered someone to invite him.
Shi Chibao came to the door in a hurry, with a lot of undisguised fatigue in his expression.
There are a lot of white hairs on the temples, and there are a lot of bloodshot eyes around the pupils.
He is a person who has reached the sixth level of martial arts. The reason why he looks like this is because his affairs have been really heavy recently, and secondly, he is under too much mental pressure.
Although he was in Tiqi, Shi Chibao had been a peace officer all his life and had never seen such a scene.
It's like working for half a lifetime in half a year. Who can bear this?
"Brother, what can you do about what's happened now?"
"The matter of Prince Wuling needs to be investigated..."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Shi Chibao didn't even mean to say hello and went straight to the point. It was true that he had been under too much stress recently. He often woke up in the middle of the night and was covered in fine sweat.
In his dreams, he was captured by the imperial court and questioned, and the whole family was sold into slavery.
Shi Chibao thought carefully at home and figured out many things. Such big things happened in Cizhou before and after. Even if everything was solved in the end, he still had to throw out a scapegoat to explain to the court and the world.
The former censor of Cizhou, Shitai, was Yu Zhen, and the latter was the king of Wuling County. He is still missing.
Naturally, the court will not take the blame on these two people. Among the remaining prominent figures, Jingyesi has been without a chief official since Lao Liu was promoted. After all, I am left in charge of Cizhou Tiqi, followed by Wang Jian of Langya Wang Clan, and Su Che of Duling Su Clan.
The Wang clan of Langya and the Su clan of Duling could not move easily. He had no background and his position was suitable.
He must be the one taking the blame.
The future was so pessimistic, so Shi Chibao followed the attitude of doing his best and obeying fate, neither rushing forward nor delaying.
No matter how well you do, you will definitely be the one to be convicted in the end. If you don't do it well, your family will be liquidated.
Shi Qianhu came here to care for his son.
