It's mid-October, and the pattering of autumn rain adds a chill to the entire Qiu County.
The dilapidated walls of the Qiuxian County Government Office were soaked by the rain and looked even more vicissitudes of life.
Song Qingming stood at the entrance, looking at the gloomy sky, with his hands behind his back, silent.[
Liu Hongtao, on the other hand, looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, sitting on a chair with his head drooped, as if he had completely lost his fighting spirit.
Since returning from the inn, the two of them have not closed their eyes, and now their eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes.
What happened yesterday was indeed a bit unbelievable and caught everyone by surprise.
Especially Song Qingming, who was poisoned by a poison like Jiulong Death Powder and still survived. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true.
However, when that Fang Datong appeared in front of him alive, he was still dumbfounded.
He really suspected that Liu Xia was causing trouble here, but Fang Datong was alive because the secrets Fang Datong told had already explained everything.
"Are you talking?"
Liu Hongtao couldn't help but stood up and said angrily.
"Master Liu, please calm down first. I have already said that the emperor cannot do anything to you and me until the banditry in Qiu County is eliminated."
Song Qingming hurriedly comforted him.
"Master Song, I know this. However, Prince Weiyuan is here personally. As soon as the imperial decree comes, we must suppress the bandits. Although the banditry here is serious, if the imperial court is determined, how can these bandits fight against the imperial court? Once
Now that the banditry has been wiped out, how can you and I live in peace and contentment?"
Liu Hongtao said angrily.
"Determination? The imperial court has long been determined to eradicate banditry, so what? Now the imperial court's war in the south is tense. I heard that part of the southwest border guard army has been mobilized to reinforce the southeastern naval battle. Does the imperial court have the experience to keep an eye on us? This
Isn’t it your Lord Liu who has the final say whether to annihilate or not?”
Song Qingming said with a sneer.
"Even so, you can't hide from the fifteenth day if you hide from the first grade of junior high school. Just like Fang Datong bit us out, the emperor will deal with us sooner or later. I am no better than you. You have the Song family to support you. You will not be dismissed from office, but I
, if you don’t do it well, you’ll have to kill everyone in the family. You made it easy for me.”
Liu Hongtao couldn't help but said angrily.
"Brother Liu, don't worry, don't forget. We still have the Governor. As long as the Governor is still alive, he won't do nothing to save you. We can delay it for one day, and the Governor will find a way. But what, now
The first thing we need to do is to find a way to silence Fang Datong."
Song Qingming hesitated for a moment and said.
"How to block it? Prince Weiyuan saved you from poisoning you. Is it possible that you can kill him again?" [
Liu Hongtao smiled disdainfully.
"Hey, it was my mistake this time. I thought the dead were the most reliable. But I didn't expect such a problem to arise. After all, Fang Datong still has a family, so I'm not afraid that he won't cooperate with us. I have already written to the governor.
Sir, please wait a moment."
Song Qingming said.
When Liu Hongtao heard this, he stopped talking.
After a while, he stood up and said: "That's all. Now that things have come to an end, we can only take one step at a time. I'm going to the Chinese Army, and there are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with. I'm leaving."
After saying that, Liu Hongtao opened the door and walked towards the county government office.
Song Qingming looked at his back, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.
Song Qingming knew in his heart that even though he had spent all his efforts to save Fang Datong, the drunkard's intention was not to drink.
His purpose was to use Fang Datong to bite Liu Hongtao.
Liu Hongtao holds the military power in Wuzhou. If Liu Xia wants to successfully suppress the bandits, he must have Liu Hongtao's support. With Liu Hongtao's handle, he can control Liu Hongtao.
If Liu Hongtao turns to Liu Xia's side, things will be completely out of control.
Moreover, Liu Hongtao was the most critical link in their plan, and Song Hanxing could not allow such a thing to happen.
Once things come under control, the plan he has worked so hard to plan for so many years will fail.
He was unwilling to do so.
Song Qingming, you were born in the Song family, but you are a concubine from a side branch of the Song family.
I have been looked down upon and ignored since I was a child.
At that time, he vowed to live like a human being.
Therefore, he worked hard and put in several times more effort than those children who were direct children, before he attracted the attention of the family head.
Over the years, he has been walking on thin ice, and he has finally become one of the representatives of the Song family, just like those direct descendants.
However, his identity as a concubine has always troubled him.
He cannot inherit the Song family's business, and he is not even qualified to enter the ancestral hall.
He has worked ten times as hard, but still cannot get recognition.[
He is not willing to give in!
However, fate favors those who are prepared.
Now, he has such an opportunity to rewrite history.
As long as he completes this task and allows his plan to be implemented smoothly, once he achieves his goal, everything will be different.
What will happen to the Song family then?
Don’t you still have to listen to him?
Maybe he will have a chance to become the head of the Song family.
He couldn't let go of such an opportunity.
Although it's a bit risky, it's worth it.
Thinking of this, Song Qingming's face showed a hint of killing intent.
To him, Liu Xia was just an unexpected part of his plan, not worth mentioning.
Now, he must endure, must wait, wait for the opportunity, delay time, so that his plan can be implemented smoothly.
Thinking of this, he walked to the desk, wrote a letter quickly, and asked his bodyguard to send it out.
Qiu County is too peaceful. It's time to divert the prince's attention.
Liu Xia was sitting in the room of the inn, looking at the map on the table, fascinated.
This map is not a bandit map, but a map of the Tianji Dynasty.
This time, they came here to suppress bandits, and their main purpose was to deal with Tuoba Lingyun.
Because Liu Xia believed that these banditry had a close relationship with Tuoba Lingyun.
However, Liu Xia is now unsure of the connection between Song Hanxing, Liu Hongtao, Tuoba Lingyun and these bandits.
Liu Xia knew that what happened in Qiu County was definitely not accidental.
As the Inspector General of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Tuoba Lingyun supervises all officials in the world. Since Wuzhou is so close to Longdu, Tuoba Lingyun will not know the true situation in Wuzhou.
Otherwise, wouldn’t those spies from the Wuzhou Metropolitan Procuratorate be freeloaders?
As the chief official of Wuzhou's border area, he didn't report it, and Tuoba Lingyun didn't report it either. He allowed the bandits in Qiu County to get to this point. Liu Xia wouldn't believe it if he said it had nothing to do with Tuoba Lingyun.
It's just that I still can't see the connection clearly. This feeling is like there is a layer of gauze between them, but the barrel is not broken.
If you expose it and know the mystery behind it, you will have decisive help to counter Liu Hongtao.
"Master Wu, you have been in the army for many years, and you know the Tianji Dynasty's army better than I do. Do you think what will happen if the banditry in these places breaks out?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
Wu Jiajun is still like Fang Datong now. He looked at the map of the Tianji Dynasty and said after looking at it: "Your Majesty, if the banditry in the southeast breaks out when the pirates invade, it will put great pressure on the southeastern border guards. At that time,
The southeast and southwest border guard armies were able to escape. Looking at the banditry in northern Xinjiang, it was suspected that the northern border guard army was contained. The northwest border guard army was also restrained by King Tianxuan and could not escape. The banditry in Yunling Province in the south attracted the entire southern garrison.
past."
After all, Wu Jiajun has been in the army for many years, and he can clearly see how simple he is.
When Liu Xia heard this, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If banditry broke out in these places at the same time, it would probably attract all the reinforcements from Tianbao Province.
The most deadly thing is here. Wuzhou is the closest to Tianbao Province. If banditry breaks out in Wuzhou and Liu Hongtao is involved, all the troops stationed in Tianbao Province will be attracted to him.
At that time, Longdu will become an isolated city. Except for Tiankui Guards, once anyone fights against the dragon, be careful that no reinforcements can arrive immediately. Then Longdu will be easily captured.
If explained this way, it does make sense, but there is another link. Longdu is guarded by Tiankui guards, and Longdu has tall walls and strong defenses. The soldiers take turns to go to the border guard barracks to hone their skills, so they have very strong combat effectiveness.
So, when the time comes, who will attack Longdu?
On the contrary, Longdu's reinforcements have been eliminated. However, to capture Longdu, it must be a secret army nearby. Otherwise, after traveling a long distance and waiting, Longdu's reinforcements will also arrive, and it will be impossible to attack Longdu.
Liu Xia walked around uneasily with her hands behind her back. At present, the most important part was missing.
Tiankuiwei is commanded by Prince Rui and should be loyal to the emperor, so it is impossible to attack Longdu.
At this moment, Liu Xia suddenly thought of what happened that night in the Valley of the Kings.
"Could it be that it's the garrison in the Valley of the Kings?"
Liu Xia's heart skipped a beat.
On the surface, everyone knows that Tiankui Guard guards Longdu, but if Liu Xia hadn't gone to the Valley of the Kings himself and knew where many troops were stationed, no one would have thought that there was another mystery.
However, thinking of this, Liu Xia shook his head again.
There should be no problem with the garrison. Otherwise, how could the emperor not notice it at all?
However, once here, Liu Xia was relieved.
Because, let's at least make it clear that if the banditry in these five places is related to Tuoba Lingyun, then the mission of these bandits and bandits is to attract the garrison around them and evacuate Longdu.
The bandits here and Liu Hongtao from Wuzhou attracted the garrison of Tianbao Province and isolated Longdu.
By that time, whether Tian Kuiwei or the guardian army rebelled, it is very likely that Longdu will be captured. This is the rhythm of rebellion.
If what he said is true, then the boss behind Tuoba Lingyun is playing a big game of chess, and the purpose is to plot to usurp the throne.
At this moment, Liu Xia slowly sat on the chair. If he guessed correctly, the emperor had already noticed this and had been holding back, just waiting for an opportunity.
Now that I am sent here, I feel that the enemy is about to take action, so I must take action in advance to crush their plan.
If so, the emperor will send the garrison from Tianbao Province to suppress the bandits this time.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia couldn't help but smile. It seemed that a good show was about to take place.
