Liu Wanshan's words immediately touched Su Le. Yue Shaoqing could control a martial arts master like Xia Yi. If he used this method to control other people in the Xia Kingdom, then he would inevitably control some people in the court. Without these people
, Even if Xia Yanbing has a strong will, it is difficult to protect the Xia Kingdom from destruction.
"Master Taifu, I'm afraid that the Xuancheng incident is the front end of the rebellion of the three great scholars. Marshal Xing Long died in the battle, and the situation in Xuancheng is critical. I think it may have been planned by them in advance, with the purpose of killing you.
Move away from the emperor, and then attack the emperor again."
Su Le thought about it and felt that the war in Xuancheng was somewhat strange, so he reminded Liu Wanshan.
"It's also my fault that I have poor eyesight. I noticed that Uncle Xia was a little strange that day, but because I didn't know him well and thought he had always been like this, I didn't pay any attention to him. That's why I was brutally plotted by Yue Shaoqing outside Xuancheng. However, even if Yue Shaoqing rebelled, he
It's just in Xuancheng, where there is the Later Tang Dynasty and the Xia Kingdom behind it, so naturally he can't achieve anything big."
Liu Wanshan thought for a long time and blamed himself for not noticing Xia Yi's strange behavior that day and falling into Yue Shaoqing's trap, but he did not understand Su Lezhi's words.
"Master Taifu, since Yue Shaoqing dares to attack you blatantly in Xuancheng, it means that everyone in Xuancheng belongs to them, or has submitted to them. And Zhang Yu and Feng Ming are members of the Zhang family and the Feng family.
The young master of the Great Master’s family, although Feng Ming was killed by me,
However, Zhang Yu had no objections to Yue Shaoqing's rebellion, which shows that the three families are very likely to have colluded together. Since the Zhang, Feng, and Yue families, under the leadership of Yue Shaoqing, revolted in Xuancheng, Zhang Yang and
Will Feng Yuanxiao and the others be idle?"
Su Le was completely speechless about Liu Wanshan's political sensitivity, but he still patiently analyzed for him the current situation in the Xia Kingdom and the conspiracy of the three major scholar families to rebel.
"However, even if I leave the emperor, there are still prime ministers and General Qin Meng beside him. If Zhang Yang and Feng Yuanxiao want to do harm to the emperor, it may not be easy. Moreover, Zhang Yang, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Xinjiang Army, is far away from Cuiping Mountain and Heilongjiang.
The ship was engaged in a battle. When I came, I heard that Feng Yuanxiao had gone to the Black Rock Beach in the north to look for iron mines to train magic weapons. The journey was very long. How dare they return to the capital alone? "
After listening to Su Le's analysis, Liu Wanshan began to feel that something was wrong, but he still felt that Su Le's words were a bit alarmist.
Su Le felt a little like crying at this time. No wonder this old man, as a Taifu, has been unknown. It turns out that in his mind, he only has his own long sword. It's not that he doesn't want to think about other things, but
I just can't understand it at all.
"Master Taifu, I can only tell you that the emperor is in danger now. The three great scholar families have colluded together this time and are bound to break through the imperial city. The three families will definitely learn the lessons of the Yang family's rebellion and prepare complete countermeasures.
, in my opinion, the capital is probably in chaos now."
Su Le doesn't care about Xia Yanbing's life or death, nor does she care about the survival of Xia Kingdom, but if there is a chaos in the capital, Xia Shuang will definitely be involved. With Xia Shuang's temperament, she will definitely fight to the death with the three great scholars' families.
.
Therefore, he had to rescue Xia Shuang, so he wanted to quickly find a place to settle Xia Yi and then rush to the capital quickly, so he didn't want to spend any more time here with Liu Wanshan.
"So serious?"
After hearing Su Le's words, Liu Wanshan still asked with hesitation.
Holy shit!
Su Le really didn't expect that this old man who usually looked cool and even deep-tempered would turn out to be a brainless "talkative".
"Master Taifu, how about we rush to the capital overnight, and we can talk while walking on the way."
After Su Le finished speaking, he went to help Xia Yi up and prepare to set off.
"If it is as you said, the situation in the capital is really extremely critical, do you also want to go to rescue me with me?"
Liu Wanshan hurried forward to help lift Xia Yi on Su Le's shoulders and said with a serious expression.
"Yes! The emperor has been so kind to me. He has rewarded me many times and entrusted me with the great responsibility of being the commander-in-chief of the Southern Xinjiang Army. How dare I stand by and watch when the Xia Kingdom is in danger?"
Naturally, Su Le would not say that his purpose was to save Xia Shuang. First, he was afraid that if he told it, the matter between him and Xia Shuang would be spread out. Second, he was afraid that this "talkative guy" would pursue her and ask questions.
"General Su is really the mainstay of our Xia Kingdom. When I return to the capital, I will definitely express your loyalty to the emperor..."
Su Le was carrying Xia Yi in the front, and Liu Wanshan was still chattering behind him. I really don't know if Liu Wanshan usually stayed by Xia Yanbing's side and presented himself to everyone as the emperor's master. Because he spoke too little, this time
Talking to Su Le was endless.
Su Le felt very depressed. He was carrying Xia Yi on his back, but he felt relaxed. He was following behind alone. He didn't care whether Su Le responded or not, and just kept talking "blah blah blah".
The capital here is at least a thousand miles away. Although the two of them are very strong, they have to travel day and night, and it will take at least two days to reach the capital.
The two of them drove non-stop until early the next morning, when they climbed over Daxian Peak and arrived at a town northwest of Xuancheng.
This town is not big, and there are not many people coming and going. I wonder if it is because many people have moved away due to the military expansion in the Later Tang Dynasty. From the outside, it seems a bit deserted. Everyone on the street has a cold face, doing business.
Not even in a good mood.
At the entrance of the town, there is a stone pavilion. There is a slightly simple rectangular stone plaque on the pavilion with three characters - Yuling Town.
Su Le had not eaten since he arrived in Xuancheng. Last night he carried Xia Yi on his back and walked all night. At this time, he was already hungry and thirsty, so he got ready to go into the town to rest for a while.
"General Su, I see that this town is sparsely populated, and there are so many passers-by that I can't find any news. Why don't we go further and get to Peicheng to find out more news?"
Liu Wanshan didn't know what he was thinking. He stood in front of Yuling Town with squinted eyes and stared for a long time. Seeing Su Le carrying Xia Yi on his back and about to enter the town, he quickly ran forward and said to Su Le.
Holy shit!
Brother, are you sent by God to torture me?
After listening to Liu Wanshan's words, Su Le felt depressed that he could no longer express in words.
"Master, Su Le just wants to go in and have something to eat. He hasn't eaten for several days and is really hungry."
Seeing the serious look on Liu Wanshan's face with gray hair on his temples, Su Le felt it was hard to get angry, so he just scolded this crazy guy in his heart before he calmed down and said.
"I'm not hungry at all. Since you are hungry, then go in and eat!" After listening to Su Le's words, Liu Wanshan realized that Su Le did not want to inquire about the capital. He looked in the direction of the capital and sighed,
"Hey, I don't know how the emperor is doing now!"
Su Le rarely paid attention to Liu Wanshan and strode into the town. Only now did he realize that he was worried about Xia Yanbing. He kept talking "bah bah" last night, and he didn't know how far he had walked in that time.
When the two arrived in the town, the hawker on the street suddenly became energetic.
"Boy, please come inside. We have good tea here, which can not only quench your thirst but also relieve your fatigue..."
"You guys, please come here. The finest jade has just been picked from Yuling Peak. It is absolutely genuine..."
"Hurry and invite me in, there's all kinds of good meat..."
Su Le wondered how long it had been since the people in this town had seen outsiders. Why were they all so enthusiastic, as if they were meeting their biological father?
Su Le and Liu Wanshan took Xia Yi to a small restaurant. When they went in, there was no one there except the owner and the waiter. They found a table casually, put Xia Yi down, and called the waiter.
"Boy, why is your business so deserted here?"
As soon as Su Le entered the town, he felt something strange and wanted to inquire about it.
"Why……"
The waiter sighed and said with a grimace, "Sir, you don't know that since two days ago, no outsider has come to this town. You three are the first in our town these two days."
Calling for guests!"
"Oh?" Su Le became even more curious after hearing this, and asked again, "Then do you know why no one came?"
"You said that no visitors came from the south. We knew that it was because there was a war in Xuancheng and no one was allowed to pass. But we didn't see anyone coming from the north. We were also puzzled, so we sent people to the north to have a look. After seeing it, you
Guess what?"
I guess all waiters all over the world are like this. They always like to chat with outside customers about their local freshness, and they also habitually tell stories.
"What's wrong?"
Su Le followed his words and asked.
"There are troops everywhere in Peicheng in the north, blocking the entire road to the southeast. It is said that the emperor set up a second line of defense in Peicheng to prevent the Later Tang Dynasty from breaking through Xuancheng. This is very painful for us.
People from Yuling Town...Hey!"
"Many troops?"
When Su Le heard this, Zhang Yang's Dongjiang army suddenly flashed in his mind. Could it be that just in case, Zhang Yang made preparations for the Later Tang Dynasty to break through the Later Tang Dynasty in Peicheng so that he could deal with Xia Yanbing?
"The emperor is indeed wise. He had already anticipated the situation in Xuancheng, and then sent troops to guard Peicheng. That's great!"
Liu Wanshan next to him said quietly.
After hearing what he said, the waiter turned around and left in displeasure with a dark look on his face.
Su Le had the urge to vomit blood. Two days ago, that was when Liu Wanshan went to Xuancheng for rescue. If Xia Yanbing sent troops back to defend Peicheng, why not let Liu Wanshan lead troops directly? Besides, where is Xia Yanbing now?
Can the troops be mobilized? If the 60,000 troops of the Western Xinjiang army are mobilized, the entire western gate of the Xia Kingdom will be opened directly. The Shang Kingdom can just send a battalion and go straight to the capital. How could Xia Yanbing be so stupid?
