"Why did Jinyiwei want to capture Marquis Yangwu?"
Li Zushu came back to his senses after being slightly surprised, and asked the boy calmly.
But even though he tried his best to restrain himself, there was still some worry and anger on his face.
Seeing the angry look on Li Zushu's face, the young man said with horror: "I don't know the specific situation at all. It seems that Marquis Yangwu has hidden armor, firearms and other items."
"By the way, I heard that Jinyiwei also found an unfinished dragon robe from Marquis Yangwu's mansion..."
"Dragon robe?"
Xu Yunzhen was originally worried that Zhou Hou would deal with him in the same way. Now when he heard that Xue Lian had privately made a dragon robe, he stood up excitedly and said angrily: "Does this Xue Lian think he has a long life? How dare he privately make a dragon robe!"
"Forget it if he doesn't want to live, it will cause..."
"Okay, I know this. You can ask around again to see if there is any other news."
Li Zushu interrupted Xu Yunzhen loudly and glared at him dissatisfied.
When Xu Yunzhen saw this, he knew that he was too ruthless in his excitement, so he sat back with an embarrassed look on his face.
After Li Zushu waited for the boy to leave, he looked at Gao Qiqian and said, "Gao Jianjun, what do you think of this matter?"
Gao Qiqian had actually just come back to his senses, but now that he saw that his prediction came true, and both Li and Xu were panicked, he felt proud again.
He pretended to smile calmly and said, "Marquis Linhuai, what do you think?"
Li Zushu stared at Gao Qiqian for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "If Marquis Yangwu hides the armor secretly, I believe it, but if it is said that he made the dragon robe privately, this is absolutely impossible."
"So the Marquis of Linhuai thinks this is a deliberate frame-up by Empress Zhou?"
Gao Qiqian took Li Zushu's words and said slowly.
Li Zushu nodded and said: "Yes, Queen Zhou is probably afraid that we will cause trouble again, so she deliberately used this to scare us."
"Although I am not afraid, I am afraid that others will be afraid, especially the British Duke Zhang Shize and the imperial censor Chen Mingxia and others."
"They just reluctantly participated in this matter. If Marquis Yangwu is convicted for this, I'm afraid..."
As Li Zu narrated, he stopped again and looked at Gao Qiqian helplessly.
Although Gao Qiqian looked down on these idiot nobles, he still needed to rely on their strength for this trip. After sighing in his heart, he said with some reluctance: "Marquis of Linhuai, what do you want our family to do?"
Hearing this, Li Zushu shook his head and said: "Gao Jianjun, you have misunderstood what I meant. I just have no plan at the moment. I hope you can give me some advice. How dare I ask you to do anything!"
Gao Qiqian was a little dissatisfied before, but when he heard Li Zushu's words, he felt proud again, and at the same time he despised him even more.
He was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Our family has said before that Zhou Hou's methods are very powerful. You still don't believe it. Now it seems..."
Xu Yunzhen was in a state of confusion at the moment, and he was no longer in the mood to cope with the ups and downs.
Seeing that the other party was still chattering away and getting more and more outrageous, the anger in his heart immediately surged up.
Just as he was about to retort, his left foot suddenly hurt, and then he saw Li Zushu's warning gaze.
Seeing this, Xu Yunzhen had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and continue to listen to Gao Qiqian's chatter.
In fact, Gao Qiqian's inappropriate criticism of Li and Xu at this time was not because he was angry, but because he wanted to test them.
Because he knew that both Li and Xu were from well-known families and were arrogant. If they had other ideas, they would not accept his cowardice.
At this moment, seeing Xu Yunzhen's expression of anger and Li Zushu's pleading expression, he thought that they had nothing to do and could only rely on him, and he felt even more proud.
"Gao Jianjun, you are right. We are indeed too reckless. Please think of a way to save us!"
Li Zushu waited for Gao Qiqian to finish speaking, and then hurriedly begged.
Gao Qiqian thought hard about his actions for a while, and then said: "According to our family's opinion, Zhou Hou's move should be to scare the monkeys. He wanted to use Xue Lian to scare you."
"Otherwise, she should attack you directly, Marquis Linhuai, instead of venting her anger on Xue Lian, who has little influence. So our family feels that you are not in danger for the time being."
"As for Xue Lian, you don't have to worry, because after all, he is also a marquis, and Empress Zhou would never dare to kill him without asking for an imperial decree."
Li Zushu nodded in agreement while listening to Gao Qiqian's words. After he finished speaking, he said worriedly: "Gao Jianjun, if we stand still and wait for His Majesty's return, wouldn't it be..."
"Don't worry, Chong... His Majesty won't be able to come back."
Gao Qiqian interrupted Li Zushu's words. Seeing the confusion on his face, he said proudly: "Marquis of Linhuai, think about it, what a great joy the victory in Yu County is, why has it not been reported back to the capital yet?"
Hearing this, Li Zushu shook his head in confusion and said: "I am also very strange about this, please ask the senior supervisor to clear up my confusion!"
Gao Qiqian felt a moment of contempt before he said in a deep voice: "We heard that although Gong Yonggu won a great victory in Yu County, he also suffered huge casualties."
"I think His Majesty has discovered that Zuo Liangyu has a problem and is afraid that he will take action after learning about it, so he deliberately concealed the matter and wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Zuo Liangyu."
"But no matter how smart your Majesty is, he would never have imagined that Zuo Liangyu is actually a chess piece. The real killing move...is in the capital."
As Gao Qiqian spoke, he suddenly realized that he had almost spilled the beans and hurriedly changed his words.
Li Zushu heard this and said with a worried look on his face: "If His Majesty doesn't come back, wouldn't we be in more danger?"
Gao Qiqian said with a confident look: "How can you be in danger? Zhu Cixiang has sent most of the Jin Yiwei to Xianghe for the sake of Nan Liang."
"Now that the capital is empty, as long as an army of troops enters the palace to admonish, even if Zhou Hou has powerful means, she will have to bow her head and obey orders. Then there is no need to worry about the big thing happening!"
When Li Zushu heard Gao Qiqian's plan, he first applauded and then said with some frustration: "Gao Jianjun, although your plan is clever, you know it."
"We, the noble soldiers, don't have many soldiers. We have followed your instructions and sent them to the canal to rob food."
"And to prevent anyone from leaking the news, I have been lurking over Xianghe, but now there is really no one available!"
Gao Qiqian glanced at Li Zushu in surprise, and then greeted their eighteenth generation ancestor in his heart.
Then he said helplessly: "Then how many soldiers and horses do you still have in hand now?"
Li Zushu thought for a while and said: "If the British public and others do not back down, plus the people from Nanjing, it is estimated that there will be more than 3,000 people."
"It should be enough to deal with the remaining Jin Yiwei, but if we add the people from Dongchang, it may be difficult to win."
Hearing this, Gao Qiqian said with a surprised look on his face: "Marquis of Linhuai, why did you let Nanjing's troops sneak into the capital now? If Wu Mengming discovered this, wouldn't it be..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glare at Li Zushu.
Seeing this, Li Zushu pretended to be panicked and said: "My lord... I didn't mean to take action, so I transferred people here in advance to avoid making mistakes in the rush."
Gao Qiqian suppressed the urge to strangle Li Zushu, remained silent for a while, and said: "That's it, it will come as soon as it comes, and it won't take more than a day or two."
"Our family will go into the palace now to meet with Wang Chengen. You also must gather the people immediately and wait for our instructions."
After he finished speaking, he glared at Li Zushu dissatisfiedly and hurried out of the private room without saying goodbye to them.
"Marquis Linhuai, when did the people from Nanjing enter the capital? Why don't I know at all?"
After Xu Yunzhen waited for Gao Qiqian to leave, he looked at Li Zu with some dissatisfaction and said.
Li Zushu said with a smile: "Dong Guo, please be patient. The people from Nanjing did not enter the capital. They just changed places to lure the Jin Yiwei out of the capital."
"I said this to force Gao Qi to sneak into the palace. After all, it wouldn't be a pity to leave such a good scapegoat unused."
Hearing this, Xu Yunzhen said worriedly: "Are you really ready to take action?"
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Li Zushu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Although Gao Qiqian is a little stupid, he is right about one thing, that is, Chongzhen will indeed never come back."
"If Zhou Hou and Zhu Cixiang know about this, they will definitely take action against us, so we must strike first, otherwise we will definitely die without a burial place."
Xu Yunzhen looked at Li Zushu with a cold face, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
