I have to say that Li You still has a clear understanding of himself. But this is his personality. He can complain to himself, but when he is in person, he will never admit that he cannot do it. Since the other party has praised him so sincerely, he has suffered with shame.

When he saw Master Yang Dao, Yin Hongzhi was happier than Li You. He knew that others didn’t know the details. Because this was part of his dealings with someone. If this rebellion did not receive the promise of help from this person, even if he was eager to take revenge, he would definitely not dare to act rashly.

At this time, Li You asked, "I heard that you are from Nanyang, and you are subordinates of the Guest Beard. I...uh, I have been with the Guest Beard for a long time. I don't know where he is now and when will I meet me?"

"Your Majesty, the bearded guest is now the co-owner of the 72 islands in South China, and our leader. Although the islands in South China cannot be compared with the Central Plains, there are still 200,000 to 300,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 or 20,000 elite soldiers. If you come by a boat, you will have to have a hundred or tens of thousands of ships of all sizes. In addition, food, grass, weapons, etc. have complicated turnover, so you must have a brother to take charge. Therefore, I will come first and report to Your Majesty that within half a month, all the people will arrive one after another."

"Seriously?" The King of Qi and the three kings around him were very excited. The bearded guest is well-known in the world and is well-known. Li You grew up listening to the legendary stories of the bearded guest since childhood, and he is well-known for his affairs. The bearded guest's ability has become a trend of deification after word of mouth. Not only is he recognized as the number one martial arts, but he is also the first in the rumor in military tactics. Because he has a brother named Li Jing, it is said that Li Jing's military tactics were taught by the bearded guest. Now Li Jing is a military god in the Tang Dynasty, and he is invincible in every battle. He is so powerful. How can the person who teaches his martial arts be powerful?

Li You and the three kings were originally pessimistic about the prospects of this rebellion. When they heard that the bearded guest had helped, some hope suddenly rose.

Lord Yang Dao immediately said: "There are many righteous men everywhere, and they are still watching. Since Your Majesty has been praised as emperor, why should you make a situation in one corner? Once you leave Qizhou, the world will be shaken. Your Majesty must also know my elder brother's reputation. With my elder brother's help, there will be righteous men from all over the world. As long as Your Majesty can respect the wise and the nobles, righteous men from all over the world will come one after another. Why worry about not being able to gather millions of soldiers at that time?"

When Li You heard this, it made sense! He immediately said happily: "It was my mistake. He originally thought of summoning enough troops and horses in Qizhou and raising enough food and grass to advance westward, but he forgot the principle of using war to support the war. Yang Zhuangshi... Yang Qing's words made me suddenly enlightened! The Lord of Yang Dao was the throne-By the way, what's your name?"

"A subordinate Yang Hua!"

"Yang Qing is loyal and I feel very relieved. Now, I have appointed Yang Hua, the Lord of Yang Island, as the pioneer of the Great Qi Kingdom, to be with the six ministers of the Ministers."

Lord Yang laughed indecisively, but even if he stopped, the play still had to be performed. He kept saying thank you, and the monarch and ministers were harmonious and happy for a while.

When everyone returned to the Qi Prince's Mansion, Li You naturally wanted to hold a grand welcome banquet. If the manager came to report, Jiang Zhen came and waited for a while before leaving. Li You didn't care. In his heart, Jiang Zhen had never entered their core circle. If it weren't for the employment of people, he would have excluded him long ago. If he really wanted to hire people, he would not have planned to trust him.

After the banquet, the King of Qi gave Yang Hua a house. In order to raise military funds, he found charges and dealt with many gentry. Some of the empty mansions were left. When the Lord of Yang Island was sent away to rest, Li You excitedly pulled the three kings and Yin Hongzhi to study the plan to send troops to Hedong Road in half a month.

Yes, Li You has decided to postpone the war for half a month, and he has no intention of notifying Li Mu...

...

At this time, Li Mu was having supper.

The place where he met Cui Lian was the "rich area" of Qizhou City. Cui Lian did not live there, so she took Li Mu around and came to a neighborhood. There were not many residents here, and the houses seemed dilapidated, which was beneficial. Those who lived here were poor people, and ** would not think about robbing the place. Most of the residents were relatives who walked frequently. If it weren't for the uneasy period in the city, this area could be called "no closed doors at night and no leave on the road".

Because they are all from the same family, they have basically formed a small life circle.

The dish was very simple, two wild vegetables, one stewed and one sauce, and the other two dishes were a chicken, a fat fish, and a pot of folk-made wild wine. This was the best food Cui Lian could get here. It took more than 200 yuan. When Li Mu went to the toilet, he was about to come and overheard.

But when Cui Lian reported the bill to him just now, she had a tael of silver. Li Mu felt it was interesting, but she didn't expose her.

The dishes were not very rich, but unexpectedly, Cuilian's skills were pretty good. Since Li Mu entered Chang'an City, he ate and used the best. When he was used to the delicacies of mountains and seas, he suddenly had some "simple rice" and had some unique flavors. Especially Cuilian's pickles were prepared, and they were really good at cooking. Li Mu just ate two bowls of rice with pickles.

Cui Lian felt relieved when she saw that he was having fun. She actually knew that she had heard Li Mu's account. But Li Mu didn't mention it, so she naturally wouldn't reveal her shortcomings. Now seeing that Li Mu was happy and had no intention of mentioning it, she felt a little relieved. It seemed that this loving guest was quite kind. As long as he served him again at night and coaxed out more money, it should not be a problem.

If you can hook up with this young man, then—

Cui Lian's heart moved, and with the light of the oil lamp, he secretly glanced at Li Mu. I have to say that Li Mu's appearance, after the unity of his soul, had improved a lot. Although it seemed not as handsome as it was obvious, the more he looked, the more he felt it was more attractive. The deer in Miss Cui Lian's heart started to bump into.

She picked up the wine pot, came close to her body, rubbed Li Mu's arm, filled the wine glass for him, and said in a whisper: "Look at the age of young master, why did you go out alone? Come to find Nu Nu again - Could it be that you have a quarrel with your beautiful wife at home, and you have come out to hide from the quiet?"

This is an obvious test. If Li Mu continued to talk, he would naturally know if he already had a wife at home.

Those who work in this industry are not afraid of having a favored guest. It is easy to deal with a wife, but men are the same. If someone is a serious person at home, they want to change their taste and make an inappropriate person outside. Cui Lian also has self-knowledge. Her background and past are destined to be a young lady from a wealthy family, and can only entertain people with sex and be an outdoor room. Therefore, those who have wives are beneficial to them. However, those who don’t have a wife have nothing to do with it.

How to answer this?

Li Mu thought, sighed, and said, "You have such a good eye. To be honest, I am a rich family. I just came out because my family arranged a daughter who had never met before, and I was unwilling to do so. I went to inquire today. I went to inquire today. The girl was very mediocre and I didn't like it. But I had no choice. After the family arranged it, I had to accept it, right?"

Before they got married, they had already made a marriage. Although it was not very beneficial, they were not unfounded. Cui Lian was in the "rich area" to set up stalls and still had some understanding of the affairs of these rich children. Most of them had no choice but to marry a wife. It must be in line with the interests of the family, which is the most basic condition. However, it is very easy for them to take concubines, so there is a saying that they have the virtue of marrying wives and taking concubines and lust. Most aristocratic families will also accept this condition of "compromise".

If he could hook up with this young man and become his favored concubine before he got married, he would keep it outside, even if he got married, he would be inseparable from him.

Thinking of this, Cui Lian smiled and squeezed even tighter, saying, "Young Master, it's better to put family affairs first. People say that marrying a wife and virtue is just a slight appearance. Even if it's a little bit worse, as long as your virtue is good, it's okay? Other things--" Cui Lian said with some advice: "Don't you still have a concubine?"

"I'm sorry—" Li Mu remembered his concubines. He said that they had their own strengths and each one was different. He was happy when he thought about it and said casually: "I have also looked for a few, but it still won't work!"

Cui Lian felt a sudden heart, and I also looked for several of them. It seemed that the competition was under a lot of pressure. She secretly glanced at Li Mu. She looked quite strong. I don’t know if she could withstand it: “Why can’t it be done yet? Why, it’s just mediocre?”

Li Mu said: "That's not, it's just that those girls are only twelve or thirteen years old and have not grown up yet. What does it smell? I don't like it!"

Cui Lian was a little surprised and a little surprised. This young man likes women who are much more mature than him at a young age. Isn’t he older than him? In this way, his advantages are still very obvious.

"The young master is indeed different. If it were someone else, he would have been very happy."

Li Mu had already seen what Cui Lian meant, but he couldn't give in. He just gave up his mouth: "You can also see that this young master is different? He is smart and has the ability to see! I have felt that he is different since I was a child. Others said I brag, but today I finally found someone who agrees. That's right! I am so outstanding, what kind of woman can't be found? My father insisted that the two families are the best, and they can get married together, which is ridiculous!"

"Young Master is right." Cui Lian Tu saw it, approached Li Mu's ear, pursed her lips, and said, "Nu Nu's appearance is so beautiful that she can get into the eyes of the young master..."

"However... can," Li Mu pushed Cui Lian away and said, "It's just that I'm tired today. It's better to go to bed early. It's better to go to bed early. We just met and are not in a hurry to do this day."

Cui Lian was a young woman after all, and she was still shy. Seeing that Li Mu declined, she couldn't speak up again. She gave Li Mu a look shyly and stood up and went back to her room.

Li Mu let out a long breath, finished the remaining half bowl of rice with him, and returned to the room to sleep.

After a while, Li Mu heard the sound of laughter next door. Through the gap in the window, he saw Cui Lian go out and the table was removed. Li Mu was still a little worried, so he got up and moved the chair to block the door. Although the door could not be sealed, if someone pushed the door, there would be a noise, and he had time to protect his innocence.

...

At this time, Jiang Zhen, who had been walking around the "Palace", had already returned home.

If it was a real palace, even if he was an official of the court, he would not have the chance to let him walk around the palace at will. However, the palace of King Qi was a different name except for a change. Jiang Zhen was the "Secretary of War" and often went in and out of the palace, and no one cared about him.

Jiang Zhen took a walk around, and recorded the intervals and frequency of patrols. After returning to the mansion, he drew the appearance of the Qi Palace and the deployment of troops everywhere according to his memory. He frowned and pondered for a moment, and pointed at the back house.

Although the royal palace was not as vigilant as the imperial palace, the area of ​​the back house was still not open to the public. Not only did he, but even Yin Hongzhi had to avoid suspicion and inform him of entering and leaving. However, he also spent some money through the servants of the royal palace and roughly learned about the situation later.

The back house was the living area of ​​the King of Qi and his family. It was nothing at all, but the King of Qi had been appointed as the queen a few days ago, so he naturally had to avoid suspicion. The guards with the hands were all replaced by maids and nannies, and their troops were relatively empty. Jiang Zhen pondered for a long time and felt that there might be two options to take over the King of Qi by chance.

One is a vendor disguised as a deliveryman to deliver vegetables to the Qi Palace and disguised himself as a disguise. The back house is a small kitchen. After delivering the food in the front yard, he will also come to the Hou House to deliver it as usual. If he can get in, he will lurk in the rockery, woodshed, etc. and wait for the King of Qi to come back to sleep, and he will have a chance to achieve unexpected results.

The advantage of this plan is that it is more susceptible. It only requires three or five masters. The right time can be done. But if the time is not waiting for the time, or the time is wrong, it will be the end of being shot to death by arrows and there is no chance to say the last words.

There is another more important question. This plan requires a master. Although I am in charge of the army, I am not a general, but a scholar who is powerless. If I do this, what should I do with the credit? I didn’t play much role! I came up with an idea, at most I would just be exempted from guilt. Isn’t it a waste of money if I don’t have credit?

Everyone has a spirit of upwardness. Jiang Zhen originally wanted to survive, but now he has the opportunity, how could he give up this rare opportunity to achieve the great success of heaven? In this way, the second solution is required.

The second option is to go into the palace and capture the King of Qi.

To enter the palace, three or five people are not enough. The more people the better, so that the more than a dozen people in his hands will be useful.

Although he didn't have many people to use, General Wang contacted him and did not ask General Wang to join the line beforehand. Then he would be the one who was in charge of the matter. After the matter was completed, General Wang was separated by a layer and could not take his first prize.

And to raid into the palace...

Jiang Zhen pondered: "You can only enter from the weakest back house. But during the day, King Qi was not in the back house, and he escaped whenever there was a turmoil. Therefore, he could only attack at night..."
