Chapter 113 Arrangements for the Expedition
Chapter 113 Arrangements for the Expedition
Two days later.
Shengjing Yanyu Pavilion still stands on the most prosperous street, but it is in ruins.
Some of the brave passers-by even walked into the Misty Rain Pavilion to explore this free and easy place that all Shengjing men once wanted to enter.
Of course, there were also curious people watching and talking about it from the outside.
"How did this Misty Rain Pavilion become like this? I was planning to save up some money to go there and have some fun at the end of the year!"
A man smacked his lips, shook his head and asked the man next to him.
"Liu Er, stop bragging. With your income, even if you save for ten years, it still wouldn't be enough to stay here for a night."
"Alas!" The man called Li Er didn't get angry. He sighed and said, "Even if I can't go in, I can still enjoy the sight every time I pass by. How come this place has become like this after I left for two days?"
"Yesterday, a group of people from Beihuan arrived in Shengjing. As soon as they entered the store, they started to blame Yanyu Pavilion for deceiving them and causing them to lose many brothers. Then they started to smash the shop, killing any men they saw and killing any women..."
"What's wrong with the woman?"
Li Er looked lewd and asked hurriedly.
"All the women were abducted by him, and no one knows where they were taken."
"Are our Great Xia troops just sitting there doing nothing? How could we allow the Northern Huan people to come here and cause chaos, wreaking havoc on our 'treasured land' of Shengjing?"
A strange man also came over and muttered something in a low voice.
"You're not from Shengjing, are you?" Li Er glanced at the man and said, "Everyone knows that Misty Rain Pavilion is the property of the Seven Nations Alliance, not our Great Xia."
"That's right, I can tell from the first glance that you're not from Daxia."
The man just now also looked at the strange man.
The strange man didn't speak again and just laughed a few times.
Seeing this, the man ignored the stranger and continued to brag to Li Er beside him about the scene he witnessed that day: "Not long after the Beihuan people finished smashing the place, the Shengjing Infantry Command Office sent troops over, and the two sides fought fiercely. Seeing that our Great Xia soldiers were strong and powerful, the Beihuan cavalry soon fled through the north gate of Shengjing. I heard that they have not been caught yet."
"For this reason, I heard that Emperor Li was furious and even sent people to pursue the enemy for a long distance before giving up."
"What happened next? Were those people arrested?......"
"You wanna know where those girls are?"
"Brother Wang still understands me! Hehe..."
"..."
The strange man didn't listen to the two people finish their conversation. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he quickly got on a carriage and disappeared on the streets of Shengjing.
If you are an old customer of Yanyu Pavilion, you will definitely know this person. He is the owner of Yanyu Pavilion, Li Deli.
After that night, he learned that the Beihuan cavalry had failed.
He took advantage of the chaos to carry out the task assigned by Lord Yourong that day and delivered the silver to Tang Bo.
This was also the method he came up with after much thought to get the silver safely away.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to Shengjing today, he found that the Yanyu Pavilion he had run for many years had been destroyed.
"You damned Northern Huan barbarians! Once we conquer Daxia, you will be dead!"
Li Deli sat in the car and cursed viciously.
"Master, don't you think that Emperor Li and the Beihuan people are deliberately putting on a show for our Seven Nations Alliance?"
The butler beside him reminded in a low voice.
"Bullshit! How could I not know that? But do you have any evidence?"
"Moreover, this matter also involves the prince and princess's secret plan for Daxia, which the other six countries are unaware of."
"If this matter is really put on Emperor Li, the people planted in Daxia by the other six countries will definitely go directly to Emperor Li to ask for an explanation. Once Emperor Li reveals the whole story, won't our Zhao country stand in opposition to the other six countries? You know, Daxia is right next to our Zhao country, and the other countries are already wary of us swallowing Daxia alone!"
......
Shengjing.
In the South Study.
Lin Tian, An Bilie, Huang Tianba, Lin Hua, Qi Mengchan and Huang Xu who had just arrived in Shengjing stood in the room, waiting for Emperor Li's orders.
They all knew that Lin Tian was preparing to lead the army in person and head to Liaoan Province.
"Your Majesty, Shengjing currently has less than 10,000 troops. Are we going to take them all away?"
"Wouldn't this be the protection of Shengjing?"
Lin Hua looked at Emperor Li with some concern.
After Bei Huan’s surprise attack on the palace that day, he didn’t understand at the time why Huang Tianba came so quickly.
But after all, he has been in officialdom for a long time.
After making inquiries from various sources, I soon guessed the reason for what happened that night.
In the past two days, he also found opportunities to hint this matter to Emperor Li, but Emperor Li seemed not to understand.
But today, when I heard that Emperor Li was planning to take away all the defense troops in Shengjing, I suddenly felt a little worried.
If Huang Xu really wanted to cause trouble, wouldn't it be dangerous for Shengjing to have no defense troops?
"Does Shengjing need protection? This is probably the safest place right now."
Lin Tian smiled faintly.
He naturally understood what Lin Hua was worried about.
However, Lin Tian did not think that Lin Hua would do anything while he was away from Shengjing.
There are two reasons.
First, Huang Tianba and Lin Tian would bring him to their side; second, Huang Xu had no foundation for stirring up trouble. Even if he occupied Shengjing and Ningfeng Province, he would not be able to achieve anything. He would also be attacked madly by himself.
Instead of this, it is better to wait for your own offering.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect your rear!"
Huang Xu knelt down and spoke to Emperor Li with a solemn oath.
"Get up, I feel much more at ease with your words."
"Huang Xu, how many troops are there in Ningfeng Province now?"
"More than 40,000 people." Huang Xu calculated it in his mind and replied.
"Transfer 20,000 men to Shengjing and place them in charge of Lin Hua. This will facilitate the transportation of food, and will also allow me to dispatch men from Shengjing to the front lines at any time."
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I'm not sure whether I should speak up or not."
Huang Xu looked at Emperor Li sincerely and said.
"But it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty also wants to go on the battlefield and kill the enemy."
"I originally thought that Minister Lin Hua would also go to the front with Your Majesty, but if Lin Hua stays behind, then I want to go to the front to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and Minister Lin can leave the rest of the battle!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Hua's suspicion of Huang Xu immediately disappeared.
He could see from Huang Xu's somewhat cloudy eyes the desire to achieve great things.
"Great! It's a blessing for me and for Daxia to have such a veteran general!"
Lin Tian sighed.
"The old man is always ambitious, but his ambition is to reach a thousand miles; the martyr is still ambitious in his old age."
When the generals saw the appearance of General Huang Xu, they all turned their eyes to him.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, Your Majesty..."
Huang Xu was about to kneel down to express his gratitude when Lin Tian helped him up.
"But I can't let you go."
"Because the safety behind is more important. The north is not safe. I feel at ease with you around."
"But...but Bei Huan has already..."
Huang Xu looked at Qi Mengchan who was standing beside him in armor and spoke.
"I'm not talking about Beihuan!"
Lin Tian replied coldly.
