"I stayed there for half a month, and they would let me experience the wonders of the Paradise every now and then."
Gu Tianhe continued: "After the experience, ask me how I feel and if I would like to join the Palace of Eternal Life."
"Anyway, it promised many, many benefits."
"There are high-ranking officials and generous salaries, beautiful women and fine wines, gold and silver treasures, etc., everywhere."
"In the end, I couldn't bear the temptation, so I agreed to them."
"Then they promoted me to be the envoy of the Palace of Eternal Life and gave me a task to seduce Chen Tong to rebel."
"At that time, Chen Tong was not the king of Yuzhou, and I was not Chen Tong's staff."
"After joining the Palace of Eternal Life, Chen Tong was canonized as the King of Yuzhou by His Majesty, served as the governor of Yuzhou, and took office in the fiefdom. It was also at that time that I was appointed as Chen Tong's staff and followed him to Yuzhou."
"Every time I follow the King of Yuzhou back to Beijing to report on my work, or when I go back to my hometown to visit relatives, I will be summoned by the Palace of Eternal Life to go to the Paradise to enjoy it."
"The little one was gradually and completely confused. He only obeyed the orders of the Palace of Eternal Life."
"hehe."
Ruan Wendi sneered with disdain.
When Gu Tianhe talked about the Palace of Eternal Life, Ruan Wendi thought it was some kind of huge organization.
Now it seems that he is just a dirty villain hiding behind his back.
Otherwise, why wouldn't you dare to expose it?
If you really recruit disciples on a large scale, with the connections of the Liao family, you will definitely be able to catch one or two.
And Xu Tianhua.
That is His Majesty's favorite minister. Why hasn't he heard of the Palace of Eternal Life?
As for enjoying bliss, eighty percent of it is an illusion.
No, it must be an illusion.
After all, Gu Tianhe said that he became the emperor in Paradise.
What is an emperor?
He is the king of a country and the common master of the world. Can he be changed at any time?
And the talk about beauties like clouds, mountains of gold and silver, etc., is even more nonsense.
Where do you find so many beauties for your entertainment?
Where can you get so much gold and silver?
It's all an illusion.
Ruan Wendi would not have thought of this before, but after following her husband, he also spread some medical knowledge to them in his spare time.
Especially poison.
Arsenic is the most poisonous, followed by datura.
Datura is a hallucinogenic drug that can also make people intoxicated.
Datura is commonly used as a drug in the martial arts world.
However, the Dawei Dynasty banned drugs, and the restrictions on doctors became increasingly strict. As a result, these drugs were slowly spread only among doctors, and few others knew about them.
Gu Tianhe didn't know the inside story, so he kept it secret.
What a pitiful man.
"Since you have entered the Palace of Eternal Life many times, you should know how to enter, right?"
Wendi Nguyen asked.
This is his focus.
Gu Tianhe was caught, but the Changsheng Palace behind him was the mastermind and key figure behind Chen Tong's rebellion.
It must be a great achievement to find it.
Even Wendi Nguyen's heart was moved.
"I don't know, little one."
Gu Tianhe shook his head again, "Every time I want to enter the Palace of Eternal Life, I go to the first floor in the world."
"Who is the contact person?"
"I don't know, little one."
"If there is no contact person, how can they determine that it is you? Is there no mistake? Or will everyone who enters the first floor of the world be found by the Palace of Eternal Life?"
"That's impossible."
Gu Tianhe retorted: "The selection of the Palace of Eternal Life is very strict, and not everyone is qualified to enter."
"As for the mistake, there is no chance. We all have secret codes to communicate with each other."
"What's the secret code?"
"The Red Candle Pavilion on the first floor in the world, light a pot of the best Qianli Zui. After drinking it, light three more red candles, lie down and rest, and then you will be taken into the Palace of Eternal Life."
"What are the positions in the Eternal Life Palace? Besides divine envoys, what else are there?"
Ruan Wendi asked some more questions, and Gu Tianhe answered them honestly.
But little is known.
Even though he is a divine envoy, I only know that there is a god above the divine envoy, but I have no idea what is underneath.
He is a bare-bones divine envoy, performing his mission alone.
In other words, the divine envoy is the lowest member of the Eternal Life Palace.
Seeing that Ruan Wendi couldn't get any information after further questioning, he temporarily detained him and handed him over to him when he saw him.
The layout of Xiaquan in the north is similar to that of Ruan Wendi.
After learning that the families of some officials in Bianliang County were controlled by others, they guessed that Zuo Zhigang and Ruan Wendi might have taken the lead.
He didn't try to take credit from others.
Instead, he led Mao Shiba to divide his soldiers into several groups, guarding some important official roads and intercepting fleeing officials.
"Charge and kill."
Finally, on the third day, the army arrived at Bianliang County.
I have never heard of Li Yan's sharp voice.
"All the rebels are listening to our family. Those who surrender will not only not be killed, but our family will also plead with Your Majesty to show mercy and spare your life."
"If you stubbornly resist, our family will lead people to chop off your heads right now and kill all nine of your tribes."
There are many people in the army.
From Jincheng to the border of Yuzhou, Li Yan only led 30,000 soldiers.
In the battle with Chen Tong, the king of Yuzhou, although some were killed or injured, he also gathered more than 30,000 soldiers, bandits, etc. under Chen Tong's command.
At this time, the army actually numbered more than 50,000 people.
Although some people followed me, I don’t know where they went.
But there has been an increase.
For example, the oppressed people nearby are about to starve to death.
They learned that His Majesty led the army to suppress the bandits and suppress the rebellion, and wanted to restore peace and prosperity to Yuzhou.
They actually took the initiative to join the army to help His Majesty rebuild their homeland.
No, when they arrived outside the city of Bianliang County, the people heard the news and stood outside the city gate, opening the city gate wide to welcome Li Yan.
The level of celebration is like celebrating the New Year.
Li Yan couldn't help but look back and saw someone was tied up there.
It was the eunuch A Dajian who was going to Jincheng to deliver a message to His Majesty in place of Zhao Ping.
He was very puzzled.
According to the original idea, there must be many ambushes along the way to intercept the messenger.
But he walked for two days and didn't encounter even a wave of ambush.
But I heard that His Majesty has entered Yuzhou to suppress bandits in Shanyang County.
Then proceed to Henan County.
At the same time, I also heard that Chen Tong, the king of Yuzhou, brought troops to Henan County to meet him.
This... must be stopped.
Otherwise, His Majesty will be in danger once they meet.
So A Dajian immediately changed his route and headed south into Henan County.
By the time he ran over, the battle had already begun.
Chen Tong has also been captured alive.
Yuzhou headquarters officials, bandits and others are all trying to break through.
Only A Dajian did the opposite, and was caught by Li Yan.
He immediately regarded him as a rebel and almost chopped off his head.
Fortunately, A Dajian said his name in time and asked to see His Majesty because he had something important to report.
"A mere little eunuch doing odd jobs, what qualifications do you have to meet His Majesty?"
Li Yan was disdainful, mocked him, and pushed him down.
A Dajian is not a peaceful person either.
Although you have taken refuge in Zhao Ping, you still have to make some achievements in this mission, right?
Otherwise, even if you really set foot in Xiping Village, it will be difficult for you to have any appeal.
When the time comes, how can we govern a county if we can't even give orders to our subordinates? What about the land of one state?
To achieve meritorious service, you need to convince Li Yan.
A Dajian did not hide anything and told what he had guessed.
Of course, A Dajian did not disclose Zhao Ping's information.
After all, he didn't know what the relationship between Zhao Ping and Li Yan was with the royal family.
Although Zhao Ping is focused on saving His Majesty.
But what if His Majesty doesn't appreciate it?
According to what A Dajian said, he was ordered to pass on the decree and drive Zhao Ping to die at the Yuguan Pioneer Camp.
As a result, when I arrived in Yuzhou, I was intercepted by bandits.
Fortunately, he survived, but he did not dare to pass through Yuzhou again. He changed his route south, entered Jingzhou and took the waterway to Yangzhou, then went north, passed through Xuzhou, and arrived at Donghai County, Qingzhou.
However, when he arrived in Yun'an County, he learned that Zhao Ping was suppressing bandits in Qingzhou.
He rushed to Qingzhou again.
After arriving in Qingzhou, I learned that Zhao Ping had returned to Xiping Village.
He had no choice but to turn his horse around and go to Xiping Village.
However, it still came up short.
Zhao Ping went to Linhai County to resist the pirates... In short, A Dajian kept tossing on the road and didn't even see Zhao Ping's shadow.
Later I heard that His Majesty was going to Yuzhou to suppress the bandits personally, but the king of Yuzhou rebelled and planned to rebel.
Worried that His Majesty would be in trouble, he gave up the task of delivering the decree and came to Yuzhou specifically to meet with His Majesty and ask him to be careful.
The suspicion was lifted, but Li Yan had no intention of letting him go.
At the very least, it is a crime that is detrimental to the delivery of orders.
A Dajian continued: "Eunuch Li, we should not fight to death right now, we should use strategies."
"Do you still know strategies?"
Li Yan sneered and said, "How can we break this situation?"
"Attack the heart."
A Dajian said: "Chen Tong has been captured. The rebels have no master, and their hearts will definitely not be able to unite."
"You have also seen that they are often rushing out to kill. They are not trying to rebel against the court, but are running for their lives."
"The mastermind who followed Chen Tong in the rebellion will definitely not survive."
"But what about the soldiers in Yuzhou?"
"Where are the bandits who were summoned?"
"How many of them really want to rebel?"
"Why not give them a chance to live and rehabilitate themselves?"
"It's just a few words, but it can reduce the damage to our soldiers. Why not do it?"
"As for the final outcome, it is entirely up to His Majesty to decide."
"At least you saved their lives for the time being, so it doesn't count as breaking your promise."
Li Yan's eyes grew brighter as he listened, and he nodded secretly, and then began to shout in his sharp voice.
It's nothing more than not killing those who surrender.
It actually worked.
The battle situation was easily stabilized.
Li Yan organized his troops and hunted down the escaped rebels, all the way to Bianliang County.
Looking at A Dajian at this time, Li Yan actually admired him a little.
But he didn't say much, and instead led the team into Bianliang County City.
At the moment, catching the rebels is the top priority, and the rest will be decided after seeing His Majesty.
