Li Ye sent two soldiers, based on the map drawn by Li Mi, and rushed to Chongyang Temple in Songshan Mountain with 300 taels of gold.
Li Mi also changed into a Taoist robe, a new crown and new shoes. He was no longer as shabby as when he first arrived.
Dugu Xinyue did not reject Taoist priests. She asked the housekeeper to tidy up a small courtyard in the east courtyard and arranged a maid. Finally, Li Mi was able to settle down.
At this time, the housekeeper came over and handed a letter to Li Ye, "The letter was just sent by a Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple. He has already left."
Li Ye took the letter, and it was indeed written by Fei Long. He read it again, smiled at Li Bi and said, "There is a new situation, I would like to ask sir!"
Li Mi happily agreed to take people's money and eliminate disasters for them. The two sat down in Li Mi's study room in the small courtyard, and a little maid served them tea.
Li Ye smiled and said, "I wonder what my father told you about my situation?"
"Your father said that your career was going too smoothly and he was very worried. He also said that you have many enemies and even the emperor is beginning to be dissatisfied with you."
Li Ye nodded, "I am indeed too smooth. All my problems stem from the same root. Sir, have you ever heard of Feilong?"
Li Bi smiled and said: "There is no one in Chang'an who doesn't know him! I have heard his Taoist name for a long time when I was a Hanlin scholar."
"If I said he was the Supreme Emperor, would you be surprised?"
Li Mi's eyes widened, "No way?"
Li Ye smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip slowly. Li Bi's face was full of doubts, "Really?"
Li Ye nodded, "For decades, he has been thinking about how to regain the throne. Although he is old, he is not willing to give in. Wang Zhongsi, Gao Xianzhi, Li Yu and I are all pawns on his chessboard. I once
I thought he had become immortal and ascended, but in fact, he is still alive and hiding in Xuandu Temple."
Li Miruo realized something, "Did he send that letter just now?"
"Exactly!"
Li Ye took out the letter and handed it to Li Mi. Li Mi read the letter and said with a smile: "He cares about you quite a lot, and he actually reminded you that Li Cong is planning to deal with you."
Li Ye sighed and said: "I am his backup chess piece. Hanzhong King Li Yu and Gao Xianzhi are his main chess pieces. Once his main chess piece is successful, it will be time to kill me. Now that Gao Xianzhi has not been reinstated, he doesn't want to
My spare chess piece was destroyed, so he wrote this letter."
Li Mi thought for a moment and said, "Your father said that the emperor also wants to deal with you. Does it have anything to do with Feilong?"
Li Ye nodded, "I am the so-called successor of Feilong. Can the emperor not be afraid of me? He could still tolerate me before. I guess he also got the news that Feilong was not dead, so he took action immediately, first attacking Gao Xianzhi and deposing him.
I was the next one to take over the post of governor of Hexi Province, but I took the most credit, so he did not dare to dismiss me directly, so he asked Li Cong to take action against me."
"I see!"
Li Mi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The emperor wants to deal with you and Feilong wants to kill you. Have you never thought that if Feilong and the emperor fight, you will become the third party that they all want to win over?"
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "I have thought about it, but it is more complicated. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."
Li Mi laughed, "Rather than being cautious, it's better to say that you are timid. You don't even realize what your advantages are?"
Li Mi whispered a few words to Li Ye, and Li Ye nodded repeatedly. He was indeed an expert! He was poked in the eye with just one shot, unlike Fei Long, who actually taught him how to dismantle the secret room? He was so petty.
Li Ye thought for a while and said: "I may have to discuss with the Dugu family. Dugu Lie is my father-in-law and also my biggest backer and ally."
"Of course it's best to have allies!"
Li Mi said slowly: "You have to remember that the most brilliant thing is not the strategy, but the general trend. In the face of the general trend, any strategy will appear so weak."
After a pause, Li Mi smiled again and said: "But it is not enough to have the general trend without detailed strategies. The two must be fully integrated to be invincible."
In the evening, Li Ye met Dugu Lie and Dugu Ming in Dugu Mansion. Both of them were very pleased that Li Ye had a national master-level figure like Li Mi as his staff. Li Mi and the others were very familiar with him and had been highly valued by the emperor.
He was appointed as the imperial edict of the Imperial Academy, specializing in drafting decrees for the emperor. Later, he followed the prince and was also highly regarded.
Li Ye added: "Li Mi suggested that I lead the army to retreat to Ganzhou and evacuate my wife and daughter. In this way, the initiative is in my hands. I can return to the river or Chang'an at any time as long as I want."
“This is a good idea!”
Dugu Lie gave a thumbs up and praised: "I returned to my own battlefield and got rid of my passivity all of a sudden. Don't worry, we will take care of your parents. If the emperor dares to touch your parents, the Dugu family will fight him to the death!"
Li Ye was moved in his heart and bowed: "I'll leave it to my father-in-law!"
Dugu Ming next to him smiled slowly and said: "I will do the demolition of the secret room. You are responsible for opening the secret room. In addition, I will tell you another piece of information. Li Cong's 350 warriors are stationed at Tianqing Manor outside the city.
Now that we’ve done it, it’s better to do it all once and for all.”
Li Ye nodded silently. He suddenly realized that the nickname "Ksitigarbha Demon" was actually a good one. It would rather be feared than bullied.
He smiled and said: "I will definitely do it, but I am not in a hurry."
At the first watch, Dugu Raoyang led fifty hidden-wing warriors and followed Li Ye to Taipingfang. The secret room still stood alone among the broken bricks and rubble.
In Feilong's letter to Li Ye, he told Li Ye a top-secret method for dismantling the secret room. This was also a backdoor left by the construction craftsmen.
Li Ye found the southwest corner of the secret room. The second brick from bottom to top was the bluestone. It was the fatal flaw of the entire secret room. As long as this bluestone was smashed, the entire secret room would collapse.
Dozens of warriors carried battering rams and slammed into the second bluestone, and there was a muffled sound. Looking at the bluestone again, there were countless small cracks on it. There was indeed something wrong with this bluestone.
Immediately afterwards, the warrior hit the battering ram for the second time, and a faint "click!" sound was heard.
Li Ye shouted urgently: "Everyone, retreat quickly!"
Everyone retreated one after another, staring at the bluestone. For a moment, there was a bang, and the bluestone was crushed to pieces, and then the entire secret room collapsed like dominoes.
The dust flew up and everyone retreated. After a quarter of an hour, the dust dispersed and the secret room disappeared, leaving only a pile of bluestones on the ground.
Everyone worked together to move away the bluestone, the iron frame and the iron door, and the iron bars of the mechanism inside. In less than half an hour, the entire secret room was completely dismantled, and no trace of it could be found.
.
Li Ye watched silently as this stone house with countless secrets disappeared completely. He turned around and left quickly, no longer feeling any nostalgia.
Dismantling the secret room actually treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. Others cannot frame you in the secret room, but they can also frame you in his home.
Therefore, Li Mi is right to say that using troops to block and water to cover is too passive. The best way to fight is to build momentum and use momentum to deal with countermeasures.
Before dawn, Dugu Xinyue got into a boat with her sleeping child in her arms. There were more than twenty maids, maids, and housekeepers in the two boats behind.
Li Ye kissed his wife and children and said, "I'm going to see Gao Lishi this morning, and then I'll go out of the city to meet you."
Dugu Xinyue nodded, "Husband, be careful!"
"I'll be careful. We'll meet soon."
Li Ye waved his hand, and a dozen Dugu family warriors followed him aboard, and the fleet set off slowly.
It is easy to be discovered by walking through the city gate. It is safest to take a boat. Go directly to Qujiang Pool, and then leave Chang'an from Qujiang Pool. This is the boat of the Dugu family, and the patrol soldiers on Qujiang Pool do not dare to investigate.
Li Ye then came to Yishanfang. The situation was very delicate now. Li Cong formed an alliance and formed a big net to deal with him. He had already set up the net and waited for the opportunity. The destruction of the secret room would mean that the situation was broken.
It is very likely that he will be arrested as soon as he enters the imperial city.
When I saw a news item saying that 20,000 Jews were said to be going to Ukraine, Lao Gao immediately thought that the Khazarian Jews were going back to their homeland.
Isn't this the Khazarian Khanate's restoration plan to fight to the death of the last Ukrainian?
