Chapter 870
"I ordered Li Ji to go north and station troops in Pingzhou, and then sent envoys to Goguryeo to report to Goguryeo to coordinate and find Li Mu."
"I will write an order immediately and submit it to Baekje, Silla, and Japan to find Li Mu."
"If you want to see someone in your life, you want to see the corpse when you die. If there is no news within three months, the Tang Dynasty will use Goguryeo and Baekje to personally find the Marquis of Luoyang, the Tang Dynasty!"
Three sentences contain a lot of information. Changsun Wuji still wanted to speak, but Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "This is a decision I have made carefully. I cannot discuss it anymore, just implement it!"
Changsun Wuji sighed and no longer insisted. Li Shimin is a decisive emperor. Once he decides, no one can change what he decides.
After coming out of Tai Chi Palace, Cheng Yaojin dragged Fang Xuanling and had to ask what was going on.
Although Cheng Yaojin is fine, he is a martial artist after all, and his strategy is still much worse. He did not understand the information contained in Li Shimin's three sentences for a while, so he had to find someone who understands him and explain it to him. Usually, even if he had doubts in his heart, he would not drag others to explain it. But Cheng Yaojin was Cheng Yaojin after all, and he had long forgotten what his skin was.
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to explain patiently: "The first sentence means, Your Majesty suspects that the mastermind behind this matter is Goguryeo. So Li Ji rushed his army north to tell Goguryeo that the Tang Dynasty was not a joke. If they attacked Li Mu, they would fight if they didn't hand over to others. Li Ji was a good general and had just paid the food in Qizhou, and the food was not a problem. Even if they fought, they could still be allowed to wait until reinforcements arrived. If they couldn't fight, there would be no problem with the existing food and food until the beginning of next spring."
"When the spring of the next year begins, it will be much easier to mobilize troops from all over the country. Even if you fight against Goguryeo, it is not impossible. As for finding someone, it can be said to be a tactful statement or a threat. It has been a day or two for Your Majesty to deal with Goguryeo, so there is no need to say it too thoroughly."
"To search for the Three Kingdoms, we want to tell the Three Kingdoms that the Tang Dynasty's determination to find Li Mu. If it is their move, send it back as soon as possible, otherwise," Fang Xuanling seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly. Without waiting for Cheng Yaojin to ask, he continued: "Otherwise, first be courtesy and then army, the Tang Dynasty will go to war on three sides in the spring of the next year!"
Cheng Yaojin had no doubt about Fang Xuanling's analysis. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty can do this to Li Mu, it's really envious to others. Hey, old ghost, do you think Your Majesty knows that Li Mu is Li Jiancheng's son?"
"Can Your Majesty not know?" Fang Xuanling snorted: "This is the measure of the Lord, how can you and I guess?"
"You understand again." Cheng Yaojin said, "I'm too lazy to tell you! You civil servants are too sensible and hypocritical!"
Fang Xuanling smiled angrily: "Cheng Zhijie, you asked me. I won't tell you what I ask next time."
"If you don't say it, don't say it!" Cheng Yaojin has always been committed to using someone to get it in person. After asking questions, you can turn your back on your face. At worst, you can just compensate me if you ask again next time.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin leaving carelessly, Fang Xuanling looked back at Tai Chi Palace, and a trace of worry flashed through his eyes.
Is this really that simple? Is the dead soldier who kidnapped Li Mu really the one from Yin Hongzhi?
"Your Majesty has always wanted to conquer Goguryeo--" Fang Xuanling murmured. If Goguryeo cannot get Li Mu, the Tang Dynasty will really "borrow the way" in the spring of next year, and it will be a battle. Moreover, "the army is famous", "being polite first and then the army", and Li Mu's disappearance is the reason for this battle.
"When did Your Majesty's scheming become so deep?"
Intuition told Fang Xuanling that this matter was strange. But even if the guess was true, he would not expose it. He was a minister of the Tang Dynasty and aide to Li Shimin. At most, he appreciated Li Mu. If the appreciation conflicted with the interests of the country, it was obvious what he would choose.
...
Li Mu was like the eye of a typhoon, and the world was in chaos outside. Li Mu, who was hiding in the cabin, still had good food and drinks, and had a very good mentality.
In the first two days, he was still a little worried. But for two consecutive days, when it was time to eat, the people in black gave him food, and Li Mu felt relieved.
Delivering food on time means they are not in a hurry to kill people. If they want to tear the tickets, there is no need to give them food. Once they figured out this, Li Mu will not be in a hurry. It is useless to be anxious. The body is the capital, eating and drinking well, raising energy, and waiting for the opportunity is serious. What's the use of worrying? You can escape without eating or drinking? If you have the opportunity, you can't keep up and escape without physical strength, that's what's the sadness.
Li Mu can adjust his mentality, but Li You is not as open-minded as he is.
Since I had a quarrel with Li Mu that day and hid in the corner, the child became depressed. He only ate a few bites of rice a day, didn't drink much water, and his lips were so dry that it was so chapped. Judging from his attitude, he wanted to starve himself to death.
Li Mu advised him a few times, but Li Youli ignored him. Later, Li Mu was too lazy to touch his cold butt, just like you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. If a person wants to die, who can do it? Not to mention that now, Li Mu is also a time when the clay Buddha crosses the river and cannot protect himself, and he has no spare energy to save others.
The thing Li Mu thought the most about these days is who these people are.
He had already noticed something strange. The attitude of these people towards Li You made him feel very strange. Even if Yin Hongzhi hated the Li family, he had to have a little affection for Li You. After all, he was a child raised by one. How could he be so cruel? Besides, these people paid such a huge price and finally got Li You out just to humiliate him? This is obviously unreasonable.
"What is the truth-"
Li Mu thought to himself, and suddenly the fishing boat swayed violently. Li Mu knew that he had encountered waves again.
Compared to the boundless sea, the fishing boat is really too small. Li Mu has been worried these days whether this wooden fishing boat will be smashed by a big wave. If this scene happens, it will be really a shame that every day should not be effective, and he can only wait to feed the sharks.
“Hey?”
Suddenly, Li Mu heard some strange sounds, lay down and leaned down to the cabin wall and listened, and said to Li You, the only living person next to him, "Hey, have you heard it? Why do you seem to be fighting?"
Li You opened his eyes, then he turned his back to Li Mu: "You have an hallucination, where did you come from in this vast ocean?"
"No, really, really!" Li Mu listened again and confirmed: "It must be the sound of weapons colliding. I heard it right, I'm sure!"
"Yes, yes," Li You had basically given up treatment and said lazily: "I must be here to save you, congratulations!"
"Why are you..." Li Mu came to Li You, kicked him with his feet, and said, "Come on, what if there is really someone? You have to shout help, right?"
Li You sighed, and felt perfunctory and angry, pulling his neck and shouting: "Help, help--"
As soon as the second voice came to an end, the cabin door on the top of his head was opened. A man looked around and said in a urn: "There is someone else? Come out!"
"Why is it so familiar-" Li Mu suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "Big man, is it you?"
"Big, big brother?"
Li Chongyi was stunned for two seconds when he heard Li Mu's voice. He thought he had been hallucinating. He was not sure it was not hallucinating until he pinched himself. He was immediately overjoyed and was about to jump into the cabin. However, the cabin of the fishing boat was very small, and if it were compared with Li Chongyi, he would probably only have one leg in!
"I'm so anxious!" Li Chongyi pulled out the axe behind him, swung it and slashed it hard, and the cabin door was broken, and the opening was more than doubled. But Li Chongyi still couldn't get in because the fishing boat's lower warehouse was too short, so he couldn't get in.
"Brother, wait for me, I'll chop the boat."
Li Chongyi said, and he wanted to swing his father and son. Li Mu quickly stopped him and said, "Come on, the ship will break. I will reach out and pull me up!"
"Hey!" Li Chongyi reached out to grab Li Mu, and pulled Li Mu up with effortlessness.
"There is another one." Li Mu pointed to the cabin, and Li Chongyi reached out and carried Li You up. Li Chongyi recognized Li You, and when he saw that it was him, he couldn't help but wonder why the eldest brother was in a mingling place with this man?
But he didn't think about it carefully, because compared to this, he was even more puzzled by how he could see Li Mu here.
"You are-?" Li Mu also wondered why he saw him here. Logically speaking, Li Chongyi should have protected Li Zhien in Silla.
"Brother, didn't you receive the news?"
"What message did I receive!" Li Mu said angrily: "I received the message, it's impossible for me to do this, right? Smuggle!"
Li Chongyi didn't understand what smuggling was. Seeing that Li Mu had not received any news, he also understood what was going on. He explained: "Brother, King Silla is dead, and Silla is in turmoil. I took the palace guards out and robbed a boat. I was about to return to the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't want to meet a boat here. I just thought it was to intercept us. Seeing that there was only one boat, I thought about coming over to kill them, but I didn't expect to meet you."
"Sila civil strife?" Li Mu asked hurriedly, "Where is Zhien? Where is she?"
Li Chongyi pointed behind him. A boat was not far away, through the misty fog, and I couldn't see clearly: "I saw that the boat was small, so I rowed over by myself. The others were still on that boat, and Li Zhien was there too."
"Nothing!" Li Mu glanced at the boat that Li Chongyi was rowing and said, "Can this boat carry three people?"
"able!"
"Let's go!" Li Mu pointed at Li You. Li Chongyi picked up Li You and the three of them jumped onto the boat. There was still fresh water on the fishing boat, so I'll come over to move it later.
After a while, Li Mu came to the boat where Li Zhien was. As soon as Li Zhien came to the bow of the boat and was stunned when he saw Li Mu climbing up from the side of the boat.
"I'm not hallucinating." Li Zhien pinched herself, and the pain came into her mind, but she laughed, spread her arms like a lactation swallow throwing into Li Mu's arms.
"Husband!" Li Zhien hugged her very tightly, wishing she could rub herself into Li Mu's body. She looked up at Li Mu's unshaven jaw and confirmed that it was her husband. Then she cried and laughed: "It's really you, Husband, I knew you wouldn't ignore me, you will definitely come to save me."
Li Mu couldn't help but feel ashamed. This time he was not here to save people, but to be rescued. Finally, he comforted Li Zhien, and Li Mu told her what he had happened. After hearing this, Li Zhien glared at Li You, and ordered his guards, saying, "Drop him to me!"
"promise!"
Immediately, two Silla warriors stood up and were about to drag Li You away. Li Mu quickly stopped him and said, "I am both a man from Tianya, so let Your Majesty deal with him."
Li Zhien gave up. Li Mu asked Li Chongyi to find a place for Li You to rest, and then asked about Li Zhien's situation.
The incident happened half a month ago. Li Zhien's father, King Zhenping, could no longer hold on, and left after exhaustion. Before he died, he had already done his best to entrust everything and prepared three old ministers for the sake of Li Zhien's success in taking over.
But, there is no such easy thing.
After King Zhenping died, the government and the people almost disagree with Li Zhien's takeover of the throne. The reason was straightforward. Li Zhien was a woman. Since ancient times, there was no woman to take over the throne, and there was no Silla or Central Plains. Such conservative people accounted for about 80%. Two Silla warriors immediately stood up and wanted to drag Li You away. Li Mu quickly stopped him and said, "It's both the fallen people in the world, so let Your Majesty deal with him."
