Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Li Shimin sat on a chair, squinting at Du Xingmin and Li Jing.

The imperial decree has been issued, so it depends on how the two generals do it.

Both of them are familiar with the relationship between Su Yu and Li Shimin.

It's not a problem for their son-in-law to quarrel, if the courtiers get involved, the consequences will be disastrous.

Every time Li Shimin tried to cheat Su Yu, he must end up being cheated miserably by Su Yu.

A cold jar is a good thing. Everyone envies that Su Yu's room is cool. It's normal for Li Shimin to want to steal it.

The question is how he will end up after stealing.

Su Yu will definitely make trouble for him, and when the time comes, what kind of trouble will it cause?
The queen and princess are not here, let Li Jing smooth things over?
He didn't want to do it.

"Your Majesty, if you steal something from your son, the consequences will be very serious."

Du Xingmin kindly reminded.

Li Jing agreed, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we think of other ways? The concubine's things are hard to deal with."

Both felt that Li Shimin was acting irrationally.

"No, I want that jar, it'll be cool to hang it on the bedside."

Li Shimin was stubborn.

The dignified emperor of the Tang Dynasty enjoys worse things than Su Yu, so he is not reconciled.

"emperor."

Li Jing still wanted to persuade.

Li Shimin suddenly turned cold, very unhappy.

Li Jing had no choice but to shut up.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while. Both of you are my generals. I want that cold jar. You should find a way."

Li Shimin said coldly, looking very unhappy.

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin returned to the palace with his hands behind his back.

Du Xingmin sighed: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."

The emperor's order is an imperial decree, and failure to execute it is a serious crime of beheading.

Of course, Du Xingmin is Su Yu's person, so it's not enough, but it won't be easy either.

Li Jing smiled helplessly: "This is the king who wants to die, and the minister waits to accompany him to die."

"The emperor is determined to want something from the consort, so please tell me what to do."

Du Xingmin is from Su Yu, so Li Jing asked Du Xingmin for a solution.

Du Xingmin spread his hands and said, "Duke Wei, my concubine can't do it."

Li Jing sneered and said: "What can't a concubine do? You are an old man, who did you learn from?"

This statement is still very new.

Du Xingmin smiled and said: "I listened to what the young master said, and learned it casually."

Laughter is a laugh, things have to find a way.

"Two things, there is movement in Liuzhao, we have to figure out a way, whether to increase troops or not."

"The emperor said he wanted to ask the son-in-law. We will bring Lao Chen and Li Mufeng over later and ask the son-in-law what to do."

"The second is to steal the cold jar. This is really troublesome. Let's discuss it with Lao Chen."

Li Jing said.

Old Chen is Su Yu's confidant, so the so-called house thief is hard to guard against, Li Jing thinks that Old Chen will have a way.

"It makes sense, let's go to Lao Chen to discuss."

Du Xingmin and Li Jing went out to look for Lao Chen in the open space in front.

Thousands of people were there to level the land and start digging rammed earth for the foundations of the houses.

The sun was very strong, and the skin was tanned.

Old Chen was wearing a straw hat and holding blueprints on site as a supervisor.

The blueprints were drawn by Su Yu, basically according to the structure of Yongyang Square, it is not complicated.

Sweat fell from Lao Chen's forehead, and Chen Yuan was helping.

Li Jing walked over and looked up at the sun.

To say that the sun is not too big, it is sultry.

"Why are you here?"

Old Chen asked strangely when he saw Li Jing and Du Xingmin coming.

Li Jing smiled and said, "I'll discuss it with you if it's troublesome."

Old Chen picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat, and asked, "What is it that you two generals can't discuss, so you insist on looking for me."

Du Xingmin said: "This matter is up to you, can you go back and discuss it first, it's too hot here."

Chen Yuan came over and said with a smile: "Brother, you can go back, I can also supervise the work."

Chen Yuan stayed in Yangzhou, although it is not as hot as Sichuan, but he is used to it.

Old Chen gave the blueprint to Chen Yuan, and said: "Watch carefully, don't suffer from heat stroke."

Chen Yuan nodded, not only to avoid heat stroke himself, but also to watch the workers avoid heat stroke.

"Isn't it the Huoxiang Zhengqi water prepared by the young master, don't be afraid."

Chen Yuan said.

Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is actually an improvement of Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder, which is easier to absorb.

When he was in Sujiazhuang, someone suffered from heatstroke. Sun Simiao used Huoxiang to treat it, but the effect was not very good, so Su Yu improved it for him.

That's why Chen Yuan said it was prepared by Su Yu.

The three of Lao Chen left the construction site and returned to the Governor's Mansion. They drank a large bowl of tea and sweated all over.

"This summer in Bashu is really not a place for people to stay."

Old Chen sighed.

Back then in Yangzhou City, the summer felt hot enough, but I didn't expect it to be even hotter here.

Du Xingmin laughed and said, "Try it in winter, it's not easy, it's cold and wet."

"It can't be compared to you in Sujiazhuang, with my son, there is ice in summer and heating in winter."

Old Chen said with a smile: "That's right, in Sujiazhuang, you can live comfortably all year round. It's not as hard as here."

After talking about gossip, it's time to talk about business.

"Where's Li Mufeng? Haven't arrived yet?"

Li Jing asked.

Just sent someone to look for Li Mufeng.

Just as he was talking, Li Mufeng arrived.

"Three generals."

Li Mufeng bowed his hands in salute.

"sit down."

Li Jing asked everyone to sit down and talk.

Du Xingmin asked Li Mufeng to talk about the discovery of bad people first.

"My eyeliner in Liuzhao reported that the saintess of the Gu religion is summoning the five helmsmen, and the king of Liuzhao is also discussing in Juhe City."

"I reckon they'll take action against us."

"Although Miezhao City has deployed troops, if the Gu Sect makes a move, we're afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it."

Li Mufeng said.

Bad people have infiltrated into the interior of Liuzhao, and the information there keeps coming back.

Of course, there are also Liuzhao spies who have been instigated.

The news of the meeting of the Gu religion reached Li Mufeng's ears.

After listening, Li Jing asked Du Xingmin what he meant.

"You have been in Yizhou City longer than me, what do you think?"

Du Xingmin frowned and said: "Miezhao City has already been defended by troops, the whole city has realgar powder, and a lot of spirits and antidote have been stockpiled."

"However... just like what Li Mufeng said, if the Gu Sect launches an attack, we won't be able to deal with ordinary things."

This is the most troublesome place for Li Jing, people and Gu worms can't fight.

When people fight against each other, it doesn't hurt to exchange one for the other.

If you exchange one with the bug, you will lose money.

Old Chen said: "Young Master said, the Gu Sect should not attack Miezhao City with great fanfare."

"They will first find the young master to take back the sacred objects of Gu Sect."

Li Jing was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise: "The sacred object of the Gu religion? What is it?"

They didn't know that Su Yu had the Ice Silkworm Gu King in his hand, and Lao Chen and Chen Yuan knew it well.

After killing Sanmeier last time, Su Yu took the ice silkworm back to play with.

Both Lao Chen and Chen Yuan have seen each other.

Later, Su Yu sent people to Liuzhao to investigate, and found out that the ice silkworm was unusual, it was a sacred object of the Gu sect.

Old Chen said with a smile: "You don't need to ask too many questions, you just need to remember that the Liuzhao Gu Church first finds the young master, and then attacks Miezhao City."

"Also, the total number of disciples of the Six Edicts Gu Sect is only over 1000."

"Viciousness is viciousness. If there is a direct conflict, they cannot afford casualties."

"So don't worry about this matter, we just need to send people to guard Miezhao City."

After hearing what Old Chen said, Li Jing felt much relieved.

These words must have been taught by Su Yu, and could not have been thought of by Lao Chen himself.

Speaking of this, Li Jing said to Lao Chen: "Old Chen, the emperor has a secret mission."
