"Is it enough time?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is ready and there will be no chance of leaving the city."
"can not go out?"
"There are Master Qiao Chu and millions of troops outside the city. Not even a fly can fly over!"
"How is the joint training of the Imperial Army going?"
"Foolproof!"
"When the time comes, we must eradicate the roots, and no one can be spared!"
"I understand!"
"Does anyone else know about this?"
"Except for the various princes, there is none!"
"What's going on with him recently?"
"According to people in the mansion, it's business as usual, they're just planning a wedding!"
"What about King Nanli?"
"Again, just planning the wedding!"
"Is there no sign of mobilizing troops privately?"
"No!"
"No charlatans come to the city?"
"No!"
"No hired guards?"
"No!"
"Isn't there another person named Ye Yu in his house?"
"It seems that he is the person Jinghai Cihangzhai was looking for at the beginning. He is just a thief. It is not obvious that he knows martial arts!"
"Are you serious?"
"I have asked people to keep an eye on me many times, but no trace of his energy and blood was seen. He couldn't even control his five internal organs. He was also seriously injured. He often takes tonic medicinal materials!"
"Why would he shield a thief?"
"A friend I met in the early years!"
"Well, that's indeed his style!"
"Are the planning steps ready?"
"Some are ready!"
Liu Cheng was afraid in his heart. He didn't know what he was afraid of. He always felt that he was not so safe. A chill of chill always accompanied him.
The emperor asked a series of questions, and Lu Yu answered them fluently without any hesitation.
In his heart, he was not as calm as on the surface, but extremely anxious.
"Whenever Your Majesty takes action, with just one order, he will be able to eradicate future troubles in one fell swoop and enjoy a prosperous age forever!"
"Wait, wait! After all, there is Si Yeqi! Let's see what changes will happen in the future!" The fearful Liu Cheng did not notice why Lu Yu, who never asked questions, took the initiative to ask for help, and easily covered everything.
His old body is both fragile and full of scars. The prosperous world he has created over the years is about to open a new chapter. While he is excited, he is also worried that the mountain in front of him cannot be crossed.
Yu Deqi followed the emperor along the way and saw too many things that he should not have seen. No matter how many times he was killed or killed, he never frowned. Today, he is afraid to move forward. The past events are really too shocking and the mark is too deep.
So he didn't say anything and waited for the emperor to make the decision himself.
Lu Yu suddenly made a mistake and realized how aggressive he was, so he hurriedly kept silent, so the emperor simply didn't notice.
The Dragon Formation's 500,000-strong army has been temporarily replaced by Lieutenant General Li Cheng since Long Yu became an official. The most powerful army in the dynasty, no one dares to look down upon it even if Long Yu is not around.
What's more, there are nine generals trained by Long Yu himself, who can exert great power when working together. Moreover, each soldier is carefully selected, and his explosive power and endurance are far beyond ordinary people to integrate into the dragon formation.
The army trains extensively every day to maintain their condition, and the mentality of warriors is deeply ingrained in the army. Soldiers and generals are competing with each other to see who is better in martial arts. If someone can be promoted to the status of Little Grandmaster, it will change the world. He can be promoted directly from the soldier. As a general, although he may not be able to hold real power, he is also honored.
Li Cheng has enjoyed great prestige in the army for many years, and he has done his best as Long Yu's deputy general. Long Yu has not announced a new commander-in-chief for a long time. Li Cheng knows that to take this position, he only needs to do one thing well. Can.
Put on a big show.
A packet of fine powder was secretly placed in Hao Riquan's house and pressed under the military blanket.
Hao Riquan has been very happy in recent days. The embarrassment that has been bothering him for many years has been broken in one fell swoop, and he has been promoted to the level of little master. In the past, he was always laughed at by several other people, but now he can finally get rid of this situation.
Who would have thought that within two days of being happy, he would be tied up.
When the soldiers were cleaning up the barracks, they found a package of things that could quickly promote people to the rank of Little Grandmaster - Quicksand Stone.
Coupled with Hao Riquan's recent breakthrough, the crime of stealing tributes was undefendable, allowing this rich and powerful man to be captured without resistance.
"Generals, don't you believe me? This quicksand stone must have been deliberately framed by someone, not stolen by me!"
"We certainly know who the general is, but now that the general has been promoted to a junior grandmaster, and he happened to discover this quicksand, how can we defend the general?" Li Cheng asked.
"There...maybe there is some misunderstanding in this?" Wang Xiao said bluntly.
Bai Hua: "I believe General Hao is a man who would never do such evil things!"
They had worked together in the military for many years and had deep feelings. Naturally, they didn't want to believe it, so they all nodded in agreement.
Li Cheng: "I also believe in General Hao's character, but everyone must know how valuable this quicksand stone is. Now that he appears in our military camp, he must report it to His Majesty before he can make a decision. I have to give in to General Hao for a few days!"
The Northern Territory Kingdom's tribute was stolen and the quicksand stone disappeared. The case was unresolved. Now that there are clues, it should be reported truthfully. There is no problem with Li Cheng's decision.
After discussion among the eight generals, Kuai Ma sent people to send quicksand stones to Wushuang City to report to the emperor, and Hao Riquan was temporarily imprisoned.
There were faint sounds of conversation coming from the cell where Hao Riquan was being held.
"What do you think the emperor would think?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Isn't it because of this quicksand that Master Long was first impeached by the Ministry of Punishment?"
"That's right, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. When that Siwei sued Lord Long, he was rewarded fifty pieces of gold by the emperor and was almost beaten to death. Is this true?"
"I can't tell. I didn't believe it at first. Now that the quicksand stone that has been missing for many days has been found in General Hao's room, it is inevitable..."
"Master Long, what do you want this quicksand stone for? Do you really want..."
"Shh, please keep your voice down, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
"Yes, it was too popular before and I didn't dare to use it. Now people gradually forget about it, so they use it to improve their skills. Who knew that someone would happen to discover it? It's really unlucky!"
"It turns out that Hao Riquan is still the one who has followed Lord Long for many years. Among the nine generals, only Hao Riquan is not a junior grandmaster. Lord Long may have given him quicksand stones a long time ago."
The two guards in charge of guarding were whispering to each other, getting more and more excited as they talked, and their voices slowly floated into the cell.
The nine generals promoted by Long Yu were from humble backgrounds. If it weren't for Long Yu, most of them would have died on the battlefield.
Now that you are a general, you all follow Long Yu as an example and remember this kindness deeply.
A warrior's mind is full of twists and turns, and Hao Riquan is such a person.
Since Master Long gave him his life, he cannot be harmed.
So before the people who sent quicksand stones entered the city, Hao Riquan committed suicide in his cell to show his innocence.
Oddly enough, some people tend to be loyal to history, but cannot resist the rumors.
Originally, everyone in the Long Formation Army firmly believed that Long Yu was an upright man and could not steal treasures, but Hao Riquan's suicide caused a different sound.
To show innocence? Or commit suicide out of fear of crime? Or are you afraid of hurting others?
If one person spreads it, no one will believe it. If it spreads to hundreds of people, it will inevitably shake the once firm heart.
Later, these voices could not be suppressed until the Eighth Generals personally came forward to refute them.
But there is always a scar left in my heart.
No matter how high a person's achievements are, they may be forgotten, while his bad deeds may always remain in the after-dinner scene.
The cracks in the perfect image in your heart will get bigger and bigger until they are broken and damaged.
Dong Bencai: "Do you think Lord Long will really..."
Hao Zhengxuan: "Impossible. You still don't know Master Long's personality for so many years. Apart from his unfulfilled son, when have you ever seen him acting selfishly?"
Song Hai: "This happened so suddenly. Is there any conspiracy in it?"
Dong Bencai: "You mean someone did it on purpose??"
Hao Zhengxuan: "I think so too. Hao Riquan is just stupid in nature, but he practices hard every day. It is understandable to break through the little master. Why use that quicksand stone? What's more, we don't know how many soldiers and horses Master Long has? This quicksand stone is only for one person. use?"
Song Hai: "That's right. If you want Quicksand Stone to be effective, you must at least forcibly create more than a hundred small masters. Otherwise, it's not as powerful as the prince alone. What's the use!"
Dong Ben suddenly remembered and said: "According to rumors, the quicksand stone that the Northern Territory Kingdom paid as tribute before was only a hundred kilograms. With the help of medicinal materials, it can create a small master of up to 500 people. This requires a large amount of precious medicinal materials to make it possible! Master Long We have all seen and known the soldiers in the mansion, especially in the army, where did these five hundred people come from?"
Song Hai: "Then the recent rumors are a bit problematic!"
Hao Zhengxuan: "Perhaps someone deliberately spread rumors?"
Dong Ben was confused and asked: "What is the purpose? To harm Hao Riquan? Or is it Master Long?"
The three generals were discussing matters in the room. They thought that no one would dare to enter the important area of the military camp without permission, so they were unprepared and gave others an opportunity to take advantage of them.
"What a pity, what a pity!"
"who??"
When the three of them were surprised, Li Cheng opened the door and walked in.
Dong Bencai was dissatisfied and said: "Although General Li is the commander-in-chief, he has no right to break into the general's camp privately!"
Song Hai said carefully: "What's the pity?"
Li Cheng said unscrupulously: "Oh? There is still a smart person. It's a pity that I could have kept you for a few more days, but now I have to send you on your way!"
Dongben was shocked: "What do you want to do? Rebellion?"
Song Hai said in a low voice: "You alone can deal with the three of us?"
The three people gradually formed an angle and surrounded Li Cheng.
Li Cheng smiled and said: "Are you afraid that I will be promoted to Grand Master? No, I don't have that talent yet!"
After saying the words "Grand Master", Song Hai and others inadvertently took half a step back.
Hao Zhengxuan: "Then you dare to be so heartless?"
"Hahaha!" Li Cheng clapped his hands, and ten people walked in one after another outside the door.
Although he looked like a soldier, Song Hai and others felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
With strong bones and strong muscles and stable internal breathing, he turned out to be ten little masters.
Hao Zhengxuan said in fear: "You! You! Where did you get such a soldier?"
Song Hai: "Quicksand stone?"
Li Cheng laughed even more crazily: "Yes, quicksand stone!"
Song Hai: "Are you worthy of the prince?"
Li Cheng said sinisterly: "Man will die for money, and birds will die for food! The emperor doesn't want him to live, and I can't resist."
"What???" the three people said in shock.
Still in shock, ten soldiers took action.
Needless to say, it’s a fight that either dies or dies for me.
Li Cheng exited the room. Although he was also a junior master, he had always been neglectful in martial arts and did not want to be the back-up for the three of them.
Dong Bencai shouted: "Someone is coming!!!"
Song Hai: "No need to shout, if they dare to show up, there will be no more of our soldiers outside!"
Sure enough, there was no movement outside.
Ten little masters joined forces, but the three of them were unable to resist, and were seriously injured after a few attacks.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Dong Bencai and Hao Zhengxuan joined forces to block the progress of the ten people with their bodies.
Hao Zhengxuan said with difficulty: "Go quickly and inform him!"
Song Hai understood that he was at a critical moment, so he took advantage of the opportunity to smash the window behind him and prepared to jump out of the window.
With a sudden step, Song Hai was hit back with two palms.
Just happened to bump into Hao Zhengxuan and Dong Bencai.
There were actually two people ambushing outside, and a total of twelve little masters surrounded and suppressed the three people.
The three of them died together before they could tell the story.
Four of the nine generals have gone.
Some tiny quicksand stones are scattered around.
When the remaining generals arrived, they were shocked by the tragic situation.
It is impossible for assassins in the army to kill three generals without alerting their own soldiers. The "fact" in front of them is that the three of them fought for quicksand and died together.
Wang Xiao was devastated. The four of them usually had the best relationship, and even wanted to become sworn friends in private. Now that the three of them have passed away, only nostalgia remains.
Three people died. On the night of the second day, a fire broke out in the military camp. Generals Wang Xiao and Bai Hua were burned alive beyond recognition.
For a moment, people in the army were panicked. Six of the nine powerful generals died in less than three days. Could it be that the sky is falling? ?
Li Wensong and Qian Songsong were worried and approached Li Cheng to discuss.
"Master Li, what should we do? Six generals died in such a short period of time. We may not be able to bear the blame if the emperor blames us!"
Li Cheng said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, the emperor won't blame us!"
Qian Songsong said happily: "Has Mr. Li already found out the truth?"
Li Cheng smiled and said: "Of course, not only will the emperor not blame me, but he will also reward me greatly. As for you, it doesn't matter whether you blame the two dead men or not!"
"As expected!"
Li Wensong shook his left hand, and a sleeve arrow popped out, hitting Li Cheng right in the heart.
The huge force knocked Li Cheng from his seat to the wall.
"you!?"
Li Cheng's chest was shaken and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
