In the small courtyard.
Everyone looked at the contents in the two water mirrors and fell silent.
At this moment, Xiao Taohua stared at Meng Qing's water mirror, and tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably.
He sobbed, "Master... Master, Meng Qing..."
Tang Qi frowned. Although he had expected such an outcome, he still felt very sad when he saw it in reality.
"Don't worry, Yan Xu has a way."
Everyone looked at Lu Yanxu. Lu Mingxu didn't feel uncomfortable at all despite their pleading or passionate gazes.
Instead, he hummed with some pride:
"I guess I have foresight~ Come here, Xiao Taohua!"
He called out to her, and Xiao Taohua understood and followed him to the corner, muttering something.
After a while, Xiao Taohua took something and left happily, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment.
Yu Miao tilted his head: "What's going on? What is Brother Tao doing?"
Ah Qi seemed to be thinking: "Maybe the mistress has a way. Anyway, this is not something we should worry about."
He spread his hands and didn't care much about the life and death of the two mortals.
In fact, it can be seen from here that the rumors that the elves are very kind are exaggerated.
They have different temperaments. For example, regarding this incident, Yu Miao would be very worried and even impulsively want to rescue him. But someone like Ah Qi would not think too much about it.
Therefore, this greatly increases the possibility of previous speculation that the powerful person who controls the entire Great Immortal Realm is from the Spirit Race.
Lu Yanxu touched his chin and speculated. He glanced at his wife intentionally or unintentionally, but in fact, he was more inclined to...
Tang Qi was standing next to him.
But he was just guessing now, and it was hard to say anything without any evidence, and his wife had no memory at all.
"Really? I have recovered some of my memories. When will you recover some of your memories? There is no need to speculate like this."
Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. Let's take a good look at how the first disciple I ever accepted died.
What everyone saw just now was not only the conversation between the emperor and his ministers on Lang Xiuyu's side, but also the process of Meng Qing being plotted against.
As time went on, Meng Qing's prestige in the army grew higher and higher, even surpassing several generals.
So now, not only are there people in the court who want to kill him, but even these generals are secretly trying to kill him behind his back.
These generals are not good people. Maybe their previous generation was a good general who was brave and good at fighting and served the people and soldiers.
But more than fifty years have passed, and the older generation has stepped down and the new generation has taken over.
What good world view can they have under the influence of new ideas?
In their view, they, who were dependent on the imperial court, were the backbone of the country and deserved unlimited rights and status.
This peasant son who came from a poor family was just a lowly warrior. He was able to rise to such a high position step by step. This was not only because of his own strength, but also because he had a prime minister behind him to support him.
They were afraid of the prime minister before, but now... hehe...
So as soon as the news reached the court, they began to plot.
But they didn't know that they were just pawns used by the emperor to destroy the Changwei Army.
The only one capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility in the Changwei Army now is Meng Qing, while these misfits are just there to show off.
However, it happens that these fronts are in charge of enormous military power. They are simple-minded and can be easily mobilized for a little bit of benefit.
Meng Qing certainly knew the personalities of these people, but he also knew that he had his brothers to back him up. With his brothers around, these people would not take action.
But he had never expected that the person who wanted to take action was the ruler of this country, the emperor who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else!
The dust was flying, and the place was desolate and uninhabited.
There was only one dim light in the dark town, which could not be seen without careful observation.
But when you get closer, you can see that the area is full of people.
There were so many of them that if you counted them carefully you would find there were tens of thousands of them.
They wore armor that was not gorgeous, and held broken or old weapons in their hands, which were all traces left over from the countless wars they had experienced.
Those old weapons were also discovered by chance during their march. Their weapons were really pitifully few. The imperial court had not had supplies for a long time, so not only were there few weapons, but also little food.
"Damn the imperial court! Look at these soldiers! They used to be so strong! Now they are pale and skinny, how can they fight?! In my opinion, we have to fight to take down those foolish generals!"
A low roar was heard, and he seemed not to want to be heard by the people around him, so he lowered his voice deliberately.
Another voice was heard softly:
"Hey, be careful! This is true, but what can we do? We have few weapons and food now..."
After saying this, everyone around sighed.
"Okay, there's no point in saying this now. Once we take Lingjiang City, we'll have supplies inside Lingjiang City. We can do it without the help of the court!"
A somewhat hoarse and magnetic voice sounded, and everyone looked at him in unison, then saluted respectfully.
"General Meng!"
Meng Qing stepped forward and nodded to them one by one. He sat down with his arms and legs spread out, waving his hand, signaling them to do as they pleased.
The soldiers all knew that the general was serious when necessary, but was very approachable in private.
So now they returned to their previous state and chatted about the previous topic in a haphazard manner.
"General, you are right. But we really don't have much confidence!"
"Yes, how many people are there in our commando team? Just over ten thousand! They have millions of them. Even if there is a general like you..."
The man stopped talking halfway. No matter how amiable the general was, he was still a general, and what he said was indeed somewhat offensive.
Meng Qing didn't care: "I know what you said is true. But besides this, what else can we do? Go back?"
He looked at the general with calm eyes, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but shrink his head and lowered it.
A counselor spoke up at this time to smooth things over:
"General Meng, what you said makes sense. It's meaningless for us to worry about this and that. If we don't do it, we will die. If we do it, there is still a glimmer of hope, so why don't we do it?!"
The strategist is worthy of being a strategist. When he said this, the eyes of the people around him lit up.
The general just now touched his round head.
"General Meng, I was wrong just now. No matter what, I can't say such things that incite the army..."
His soybean-sized eyes looked at Meng Qing, but Meng Qing did not have the calm expression he had before. His eyes became serious and he shouted sternly:
"Wang Xiaoli!"
Wang Xiaoli shivered, stood up quickly, raised his foot and saluted!
"exist!"
"How is military regulation punishing those who incite the army's morale?"
Wang Xiaoli shuddered, he already knew his fate. But he still looked determined and announced the punishment: "Death penalty!"
"General!"
"No, General!"
When the people present heard these two words, their eyes widened. Some were so anxious that they even stood up and wanted to beg for mercy.
But they were all stopped by Wang Xiaoli's look.
He just realized that his unintentional words were all meant to incite the soldiers to fearlessness. Whether he did it intentionally or not, his words could achieve this goal. If so, he was guilty!
"I am guilty, I accept the punishment!"
He confessed loudly, his eyes firm and sincere!
He knew that many times a general needed someone to take the lead in order to warn his soldiers and consolidate the morale of the army.
And I am the perfect one to stand out.
Meng Qing was very pleased to see this scene, but his status did not allow him to let it go so easily.
This is when supporting roles are needed.
Everyone ignored Wang Xiaoli's gaze and pleaded for mercy with earnest words.
The counselor just now was also smart. He immediately found a reason to allow the general to get off the hook.
Seeing that the time had come, Meng Qing relaxed his frown and pretended to be moved.
"Well, as the saying goes, military orders are ruthless, but people are also kind. This general is not someone who cannot adapt, so I will demote you by one rank. Before the assault, you will be the cook for the soldiers, responsible for taking care of their food."
Demotion by one level is not a big deal. With his current military rank, he can still find a job here even if he is demoted further.
On the surface, he was asked to be a cook to let him experience the hardships of being a servant, as if to make things difficult for him. But in fact, he had a task to give to Wang Xiaoli.
Wang Xiaoli was not clear about the twists and turns, but his advisers were clear about it.
"Hey... hurry up and follow the general..."
He whispered in Wang Xiaoli's ear in a voice so small that it was barely noticeable.
He also predicted Wang Xiaoli's reaction and covered his mouth in time.
Everyone in the tent knew what had happened, and they either looked up at the sky or at the air, pretending that nothing had happened.
Wang Xiaoli then realized that the general had a task for him!
