The drinkers at the same table were stunned for a moment, and the surprise on their expressions was several times more shocking than when they heard Xue Song resigned.
Yibo Tower is now a banner of the Tang Dynasty. How can you just retire?
The only thing that the world of Tang Dynasty can take advantage of right now is Yi Bo Tower.
If Yi Bo Lou retreats, won't foreign warriors entering the Tang Dynasty have to go sideways in the future?
"This is absolutely true! According to the news from Dongdu... Yibo Building has been emptied out. The clerk and the accountant are all gone.
Coincidentally, just last night, a fire broke out in Yuntian Manor in the east of Luoyang City, and the entire manor was reduced to ashes overnight.
Also...after the battle in the west of Chang'an City, the top masters in Yibo Tower also completely disappeared without a trace!
There is also Qingfeng Casino, all their branches have been closed!"
Having said this, the warrior who spoke first couldn't help but sigh a little.
There are various signs that Yibo Lou is not playing tricks this time.
In the future, Yibolou’s hotpot meals and Qingfeng Pavilion’s two-color balls may become a legend.
"Ah...why...why?"
After a moment, after finally regaining consciousness, a warrior asked.
"Why? You're not forced to do it today! You're not rewarded for your merits, but you're forced to go to war in disguise."
"Is this the case today?"
Next to him, a warrior shook his head repeatedly.
Although the emperor and Yi Bo Lou were very unhappy and even wanted to use Yi Bo Lou's help to resolve the crisis in Longxi County this time, it is an exaggeration to say that the emperor could force Yi Bo Lou to retreat.
Not to mention other things, when it comes to fighting alone, who else is the opponent of the Yi Bo Lou guys?
What's more, there is a mysterious master behind Yibo Tower.
Don’t you believe Yi Bo Lou is so cowardly?
What's more, if Yi Bo Lou is really cowardly, he will obey the emperor's edict and act accordingly. Why bother to talk about resigning?
"Haha, you really don't believe it! The emperor issued a decree a few days ago and appointed Li Mo, the magistrate of Ruyang County, as the military governor of Ruyang. He ordered him to recruit troops and horses and gave him military and political power! Anyone with a discerning eye will know this military governor at a glance.
It was specially set up to suppress Yi Bo Lou.
There is a Jiedu envoy who specializes in suppressing Jianghu forces, so there is nothing wrong with Yibo Lou wanting to retire.
If I were the owner of Yibo Tower, I would do the same thing."
The warrior curled his lips.
"Jiedushi? This matter is nothing... Don't forget that Li Mo is also from Yibo Lou."
The other warriors still shook their heads.
"Li Mo is a person from Yibo Lou? Hahaha! You really are... At this point, can't you see that Li Mo is actually a person of the emperor? If he was not a person of the emperor, how could the emperor confer him a royal seal?
To serve as the military governor of Ruyang?"
"Ah? This..."
A warrior was stunned.
It is said that since Li Mo became famous, he has basically been acting as Yi Bo Lou, and the Ruyang County Magistrate is just a sideshow.
"Don't forget, everyone, Li Mo is a serious member of the Li clan! It's not surprising that he secretly works for the royal family."
"But this is also your guess? What if..."
"There is no emergency! Many of the people in Yibo Tower have secretly retreated. Only a small part of Ruyang is still following Li Mo. The owner of Yibo Tower must have discovered that Mao Ni and Li Mo have completely broken up!
As expected, Li Mo will definitely have a difficult time in the future."
The warrior spoke confidently,
It was as if he had seen these things with his own eyes.
As everyone knows, these things are all a big show made up by some martial artists who heard the rumors.
Let’s talk about it, these imaginations are really like that, and they are clear-cut.
Coupled with Yibolou's current actions, it's hard not to believe it.
"Then... Yibo Tower is really..."
Sure enough, the warrior's words gradually convinced those warriors who didn't believe it.
"Well, I have retired... I guess it will be difficult to see Yibo Lou in the world in the future, but... in my heart, Yibo Lou will always be the strongest force in the Tang Dynasty.
one."
"Alas, as long as today is here, there will definitely not be another Yi Bo Lou in the world in the future."
"Emperor? Hehehe! He has done his own evil and will not survive. Let's see how he can remedy the situation in Longxi County this time!"
"That's all, let's eat wine! Eat wine!"
In this way, it took a long time for the drinkers to leave the restaurant in a drunken state. The scholar in green clothes next to him also left a few taels of silver after the martial arts warriors left.
"Retire? Those old friends of mine will not retire easily once they are born. Not even the emperor can force them to retire."
Having said that,
The figure of the scribe in green flashed, and when he looked again, he had disappeared.
.......
Time flew by and it was almost midnight before I knew it.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the people throughout Chang'an City are celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. Scholars and scholars even use the bright moon to drink wine and write poems.
But at this time,
The atmosphere in the palace and the royal study was extremely depressing.
The emperor Li Longji temporarily summoned the ministers of the humerus to discuss matters, but no results could be reached at this time.
"My dear, what should we do now? Xue Song resigns, and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to rely on Yibo Tower for the Longxi County Competition!"
a long time,
Li Longji spoke in a low voice.
At this moment, his mood was very complicated.
Xue Song's move caught him off guard, but he regretted not giving Yi Bo Lou a reward... Actually, he didn't.
If he had another chance to do it again, he would definitely not give Yuan Tiangang's Notes to the masters at Yibo Tower.
"Your Majesty, since Yibo Tower cannot be relied upon, we may have to mobilize a large army to fight against Tibet to prevent our Longxi County from falling into the hands of the enemy!"
Hearing this, Yang Guozhong's mind changed and he hurriedly bowed.
In fact, regarding this matter, he felt that it would be beneficial to him no matter what, so he was not impatient at all.
If Xue Song accepts the decree, Yibolou and Tubo will become mortal enemies.
At that time, we can also use Tubo's hand to suppress Yibo Tower, giving the Tianyin Sect a chance to rise again.
It doesn't matter if Xue Song resigns now.
The worst case scenario is that the Tang Dynasty will go to war with Tubo. Once the war begins, Li Guangbi's 150,000 Shuofang army will be firmly contained in Longxi, and they will even be able to contain several Jiedu envoys in addition to the Shuofang army.
"Mobilize the army? Who else can be mobilized now?"
Li Longji rubbed his eyebrows.
Each of the military governors deployed their own defenses. If Shuofang's army was not far from Longxi County, Li Guangbi's 150,000-strong army would not have been transferred to Ruyang so easily.
What's more important is that Tubo's 200,000 cavalry are extremely ferocious.
This time around, it must be over 150,000 to suppress Tubo.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I think you can mobilize Fanyang Jiedu's envoy An Lushan'an to relieve the crisis in Longxi County. As far as I know, Lord An Lushan'an has an army of 300,000 Heshuo troops under his command, and their combat power is extremely high."
Powerful! Even if one hundred thousand troops are mobilized this time, it will have a miraculous effect."
Seeing Li Longji's hesitation, Yang Guozhong hurriedly spoke again.
