(rua ~!)
In the Ganlu Palace.
Empress Zhangsun looked at the lofty and ambitious Li Er. Like a young girl who always liked heroes, a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes. She slowly praised him.
"Your Majesty's words are true and reasonable. This is the blessing of the Tang Empire's people!"
"Hahahaha ~!"
Being praised by his own woman, Li Er naturally had reason to be happy. He laughed heartily and said, "Guanyin Maid, don't praise me. Otherwise, if I get carried away and make any mistakes in government affairs, Wei Xuancheng will scold me to my face again ~!"
As the ruler of a country, he was actually afraid of a subject. Li Er could be considered to be a first!
At this time, Li Er was still at the stage where he was working hard to govern. He liked to listen to his subjects' remonstrances. However, Wei Zheng's way of remonstrance was really difficult to accept. Every time Wei Zheng tried to persuade him, Li Er would feel both pain and joy.
"Pfft ~!"
Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth and laughed. "Your Majesty really knows how to joke! However, if all the cities in the Tang Empire follow Your Majesty's strategy of using offense as defense, wouldn't this cement have less use for it ~? "
Li Er touched his stubbled chin and pondered. "That won't happen! The superior performance of cement determines that it will be suitable for many places, such as the official roads! "
At this point, Li Er became a little high-spirited. He said hopefully, "If all the official roads in the Tang Empire are built with this cement, then the time spent on the road to other places in the future will be greatly reduced. Correspondingly, once a war breaks out somewhere, the imperial army can also arrive as soon as possible ~! Therefore, this cement really has a wide range of uses! "
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on finding such a talent ~!"
Empress Zhangsun laughed with a double meaning.
"Hahahaha ~!"
…
Deep in the Qinling Mountains.
Countless small groups of soldiers could be vaguely seen searching in different directions and then gathering together every once in a while. This was a small strategy that Dugu Xin came up with.
He divided his soldiers into teams of five and spread out in different directions to search. They agreed to meet up a few miles ahead. The entire team was like a spider weaving a web, slowly covering the entire Qinling Mountains. This kind of carpet search made it impossible for the mysterious Snake Spirit Mountain to escape!
Today was already the third day since the army entered the mountains. In these three days, the army would camp at night and continue to search during the day. Everyone suffered greatly. After all, the living environment in the mountains during summer was not good. On the contrary, it was somewhat bad because there were many mosquitoes and poisonous insects!
"Reporting ~!"
"General! An evil mountain peak was discovered in the southwest direction. The words' Snake Spirit Mountain 'were written on a stone tablet at the foot of the mountain! "
Dugu Xin had been paying attention to the state of the army, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were exhausted. Just as he was wondering if he should bring the army out for a day of rest, he saw a rider galloping over from afar. Then, a soldier dismounted and ran up to him, excitedly saying, "Brother Dugu Xin, you're exhausted.
"What? Did you find the Snake Spirit Mountain? "
Dugu Xin asked excitedly.
"Reporting to the general, we found it! I found it! "
"Haha ~!"
Dugu Xin laughed loudly, then ordered, "Pass down the order. All teams gather here immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Half an hour later …
The 'mixed army' formed by the bailiffs of the capital and the imperial guards gathered together again. There were about two thousand of them, and under Dugu Xin's order, the army began to move toward the southwest direction.
The smart soldiers immediately guessed that their trip into the mountains was about to end, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After about three miles, a mountain shrouded in black fog finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The words' Snake Spirit Mountain 'were written on a stone tablet at the foot of the mountain in red.
There was no sound of insects or birds on the mountain, and it looked very evil. Dugu Xin made a gesture. The army stopped. Dugu Feiying, who was at the side, said worriedly, "Big Brother, there's something strange about this mountain.
"Big Brother, I'm afraid there's something strange about this mountain. Why don't I bring a team to explore it first?"
Dugu Xin frowned and hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "No! I have a feeling that this mountain is very dangerous! How about this, Feiying, bring two men out of the mountain immediately and return to Chang 'an to report the situation here to His Majesty. If we want to force our way up the mountain, we won't be able to do it! I'm afraid this mountain is really filled with poisonous miasma like what Li Xiannan said! "
"Yes, Big Brother!"
Dugu Feiying cupped his fists and replied. Then, he picked two men, mounted his horse, and prepared to leave the mountain to report.
"Okay! Wait! "
Dugu Xin suddenly stopped Dugu Feiying.
"Is there anything else, Big Brother?"
"When you enter the palace to meet His Majesty, send someone to Yongle Lane and inform Li Xiannan as well!"
Dugu Xin thought about it and said.
"Got it, Big Brother!"
…
"What? You found the Snake Spirit Mountain? Then why did Dugu Xin send you back? Did you run into some trouble? "
Ganlu Palace …
The morning court had just ended, and Li Er had changed into casual clothes and was about to review some memorials in Ganlu Palace when he heard a servant report that Dugu Feiying was requesting an audience. He quickly let Dugu Feiying in, but he didn't expect to hear such news.
"Your Majesty is wise! The army has indeed found the Snake Spirit Mountain and is currently stationed at the foot of the mountain. There is indeed a reason why they haven't attacked the mountain yet … "
Dugu Feiying went forward and explained the situation of the Snake Spirit Mountain to Li Er in detail.
After hearing it, Li Er stood up and said without hesitation, "Dugu Xin, take another three thousand imperial guards and go support Dugu Xin. You must make Seven Cultivators of Virtue hand over the assassin. Otherwise, take the army and attack!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Dugu Feiying cupped his fists and replied.
Li Er looked at Zhao Song and said, "Pass down the decree. Order the Imperial Physician Bureau to send two imperial physicians who are experts in detoxification to go with Dugu Feiying. Tell them to find the antidote as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
"Hahaha! I've finally found these guys who were hiding their heads but showing their tails! (Translated by Chiyomira, Chiyomira, Chiyomira, Chiyomira) Little brother, please wait for a moment. I'll go with you! "
Yongle Lane, Li Mansion …
When Li Zexuan heard the news from the messenger, he was so excited that he accidentally said the dirty words he learned from watching live broadcasts in his previous life. He had been anxiously waiting for news for the past few days!
The messenger soldier was confused, but he still understood the last part. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Yes, sir! Sir! "
Although Dugu Xin didn't say that he could let Li Zexuan go with him, he couldn't do anything if Li Zexuan made the decision. He was just a small soldier.
