Summer is coming quietly, and people put on light summer clothes.

Ji Qingyue set out from the village again to deliver goods to Tai'an Building.

Uncle Li was sitting on the saddle driving the mule cart. The previous donkey cart was rented. The mule cart he was riding in today was bought by Ji Qingyue. The cart was wider and wider, supporting a shed made of oilcloth. There are baskets full of fresh vegetables, and that's just part of it.

Now is the time when caravans are busy. From time to time, rows of caravans appear on the small dirt road that was only used by nearby villagers, moving slowly forward.

This situation is indeed more lively than in previous years.

Ji Qingyue topped the cotton in the painting, removing excess branches and stunted buds.

Li Erlang went to the Ganzhou Barracks for training again. Compared with the first time, Li Aniang was more opposed to it this time. She went on a hunger strike because she didn't want Li Erlang to go to the barracks. The first time people came back, they were all thin and disfigured. The second time they came back, they might be missing arms or legs!

The mother and son had a lot of conflicts over this. She knew that she could no longer resist Erlang, so she approached Ji Qingyue and wanted him to help as a lobbyist.

How could Ji Qingyue be able to speak out without telling the whole truth?

In the end, Li Erlang asked Sanlang to take leave and go home. The two walked into Li Aniang's room side by side and talked deeply with her all night.

Ji Qingyue didn't know the specific process. As a result, Li Aniang relented, but she was very angry. Until Li Sanlang returned to the academy and Li Erlang went to the barracks, Ji Qingyue could still hear Li Aniang cursing to herself from time to time: "Two Don’t worry! If you were born with two sticks, you wouldn’t be as worried as you are now!”

My son is older, has a very tough temper, and has many ideas!

When his family asked what was going on, Aunt Li could only take advantage of Aniang Li's absence and quietly explain: "Erlang wants to join the army, and Sanlang wants to get an honor, and both of them said they don't want to get married within five years!"

"Erlang also said..."

"He has a sweetheart!"

Aniang Li suddenly appeared at the door, akimbo and yelled: "I already have a sweetheart! I still don't want to tell which family it is from! Am I that rotten old witch who doesn't know how to adapt?! If you already have a sweetheart, why don't you quickly find a matchmaker to make a deal with her!! Five Five years! He is quite happy! How can a girl endure this!!"

Ji Qing shrank his neck more and did not dare to make a sound.

Li Erlang insisted on entering the barracks early, not only because he wanted to receive training, but also because in the barracks he could come into contact with information that ordinary people could not easily obtain, which was different from the news circulating in the market.

The military has military information sources and channels. The premise is that if you climb to a certain level and reach the bottom of the information circulation layer, you can know a lot of unusual news.

Ji Qingyue and Li Erlang thought and discussed that assassination was not easy, not to mention that the person to be assassinated was the person sitting at the top of power. This emperor was not a puppet or a weakling. He was trained by Emperor Hui and served in the court. The emperor who succeeded to the throne and held real power during the turmoil was now in his prime.

Who could kill such a powerful and influential emperor?

Ji Qingyue analyzed that in order to ensure the success of the assassination operation, the right time, place and people are indispensable.

The first thing to do is to deal with the security personnel around the emperor. Doesn’t an emperor with a mature mind and full of strategy not pay attention to his own safety?

The reason why all the founding emperors were difficult to kill was that the security personnel around them were too strong, and it was easy to encounter martial arts geniuses with various levels of force during the assassination.

Fortunately, the reigning emperor is not the founding emperor, but he has an emperor grandfather who has experienced the Southern and Northern Wars, so his security force must not be simple.

If the assassins were people close to the emperor, they would be nothing more than logistical service personnel, security personnel, personal attendants and various employees.

Could it be that the problem lies with the security personnel? Is the assassin a certain Kingo Guard?

Ji Qingyue shook his head, thinking it was unlikely.

The Jinwu Guards in all dynasties were all served by nobles and nobles. This was a means for the emperor to ensure his own safety and maintain the stability of the regime. The noble family are all members of the emperor or people with interests, and they will maintain a very delicate balance.

Every more assassins there is, the more likely they are to be exposed. If confidentiality is to be maintained, the fewer people who know about the assassination operation, the better, and the more skilled the people who carry out the assassination missions, the better.

Secondly, the murder weapon must not only be in hand, but also must be unexpected and guaranteed to kill with one blow, without giving the assassination target and its defenders time to react.

Again, there are the emperor's movements and the drawings of various places. It is still an unknown point where the emperor was assassinated.

The second is the escape route. How to escape if successful, how to get away with the crime if failed, cannot be traced.

Finally, what was the purpose of assassinating the emperor? Is the change of power touching interests, or is it generational hatred? In troubled times, assassinating the emperor may end the turmoil; in peaceful times, assassination operations are more likely to be unpredictable, and the results are even more unpredictable.

Li Erlang has only one purpose, to protect his family, and no matter what, he must have enough power to protect his family and survive in troubled times.

With various considerations in mind, Li Erlang entered the barracks to receive increasingly rigorous training. The first step was to penetrate the intelligence network in the barracks.

Ji Qingyue didn't know Li Erlang's worries buried deep in his heart. After delivering the goods and getting the payment, Li's father took Ji Qingyue to Zhuangzi on the eastern outskirts of the city to check the situation in the fields.

The tenants all finished planting their leased fields as arranged. When they saw Ji Qingyue's carriage approaching, they all came to greet him.

Ji Qingyue wore a cyan crew-neck shirt, a black knee-length half-arm jacket, white hakama pants and a pair of black boots.

"Boss, your wheat seeds are so good as ours. They were sown within two days of each other, but they actually look very different!"

The tenants gathered around Ji Qingyue, vying to tell him about the situation in the fields in the past two months.

Ji Qingyue nodded while listening and asked about the situation in the rice fields.

The tenants' voices suddenly became much quieter. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to raise their eyes to look at Ji Qingyue.

"Tell me, how is the rice field?"

"Boss... this... our rice has sprouted, but it seems a little weak..." Sun Fei explained weakly: "Boss! It's our first time to plant rice, but we don't dare to sow it casually. Get it After planting the seeds, we went to the caravan from the south and asked how to cultivate rice, but they laughed at us first and said that rice is grown in paddy fields and cannot be grown on sandy soil."

Another tenant took over: "We also knew that rice was to be planted in paddy fields, so we brought water into the fields. Unexpectedly, the farmland could not store water and it seeped into the ground..."

"If we continue to struggle, spring plowing will be over, so we have to sow rice seeds into the ground the same way we plant wheat..."

Ji Qingyue didn't know exactly how to grow upland rice. Dry land without so much water certainly couldn't be grown like paddy fields. There seemed to be no problem with their planting method.

When the tenants saw Ji Qing, he didn't speak for a long time, but frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. They became more and more nervous, afraid that they had done something wrong and wasted such good seeds.

"Dong...Dong, my boss, is there any way to remedy this?" Fei was so anxious that he almost cried. The first errand assigned to them by their boss was screwed up like this!
