"Cough, cough!"
When Li Yi saw that Xu picked up the wine pot and gulped it down, he knew that he might have choked because he had eaten too much chicken.
The one who loved to eat chicken was Second Granduncle. In order to satisfy his craving for good food, there were five cooks in the family who specially made chicken for him. There were a variety of methods, including dozens of methods and over a dozen cuisines. Occasionally, they would even create new methods …
Xu didn't like to eat chicken in the past. He loved White Rabbit Creamy Candies. However, he couldn't stand eating too much sugar when he was old, so he started to imitate Second Great Uncle …
Li Yi knew that Xu was actually from the Wu Kingdom. For most masters, those mundane things could no longer pique their interest. They pursued higher Martial Arts. Most of them would choose to travel around in search of opportunities to break through again.
Of course, Xu's opportunities were not outside but here.
Li Yi walked over and sat opposite him. He asked, "White Rabbit Creamy Candies have released a new type of milk candy with low sugar content. It won't spoil your teeth. Xu, do you want to try it?"
The sloppy old man didn't even raise his head. He said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
It was great to talk to such a straightforward person. He was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. Li Yi thought about it and said, "Xu is also from the Wu Kingdom. I don't think you want to see the people of the Wu Kingdom suffer from war and live in misery …"
"I'm not going!" The sloppy old man wiped his mouth and said even more straightforwardly.
Li Yi was stunned. "I haven't said what it is."
"You want me to protect that little girl." The sloppy old man looked at him and said, "I'm not going to the Wu Kingdom."
It wasn't good to talk to such a straightforward person at all.
The sloppy old man stood up and said, "With your Second Young Mistress and the experts on the Heaven List, even a master won't be able to do anything. Moreover, the only master left in the Wu Kingdom is Yang Wanli. He's also a member of the Yang Royal Family. He won't do anything to that little girl."
Li Yi originally thought that there was nothing to worry about in the Fringe with Ruyi and Second Great Uncle by his side. There were also many guards outside. Yangliuqing's trip back to the Wu Kingdom was fraught with danger. With a master by his side, he didn't have to worry too much about his safety.
However, since Elder Xu said so, he did not insist. After all, Elder Xu was a guest, not a servant of the Li family. He thought for a while and asked curiously, "Could it be that the Wu Kingdom only has two Grandmasters, Elder Xu and Yang Wanli?"
"Two …" The sloppy old man waved his hand and said, "Three …"
"Isn't there another one here?"
"That's even more impossible … Anyway, don't worry, there aren't that many idle Grandmasters in the Wu Nation!" The sloppy old man seemed to be very unwilling to talk about this topic. After saying that, his figure quickly disappeared.
Li Yi looked at the old man's back and shook his head.
Perhaps he was really thinking too much. At first glance, Ruyi, Second Great Uncle, Xu, Chang, the Taoist priest with the surname Yuan, and the Taoist nun in the Qi Kingdom were all masters. It seemed like masters were everywhere. But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have heard of any other masters besides them …
He stretched his body and walked back to his room to finish writing the unfinished plan.
…
Yangliuqing knocked on the door and walked in. "Uncle, you were looking for me?"
Li Yi nodded and took out a book from the drawer. He handed it to her and said, "Keep this. It will be of great use in the future."
Yangliuqing took it and looked at it. She was stunned and looked at him. "Uncle, this …"
Li Yi pointed at the book "Rebellion – What You Need to Know" and said, "This book is a general program and also a basic introduction. You can read it after you go down and see if you can understand it. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. As for the next step of the plan, you can modify it according to the actual situation … Uh, sorry, I took the wrong book."
He saw the cover of the book and was stunned. He immediately took back the book "Queen Training Plan" from Yangliuqing and put it back into the drawer. He handed the book "Rebellion – What You Need to Know" to her and said, "This is the book. Read it carefully these few days. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first …"
When he reached the door, he paused and said, "From now on, you have to be extremely careful with every step you take. It's time to get rid of those spies among your people …"
Other than the two guards by Yang Fu's side, Li Yi believed that there were still many spies planted by the Martial Emperor's side. The existence of these people would always be a threat, and as for how to identify and deal with them, he believed that they had their own methods.
Both Wei Liang and Chen Qing came from the military and each of them had a group of absolutely loyal personal guards who had gone through fire and water with them. It was impossible for them to be disloyal. First, these people were eliminated. There were still a few dozen of them left in the Fringe. They were all left in a mountain. They did not have to worry about food and clothing here, but it was impossible for them to send any news out.
Whether there were spies among them or not, it wouldn't matter anymore after a few years.
After this round of cleansing, they had less than five hundred soldiers. Including the first batch of people arranged by Liu Meng, they only had a little more than six hundred.
However, their combat strength couldn't be simply measured by the number of people they had. Not to mention that some of them were experts who could fight against ten or even dozens of experts, even with Divine Punishment's excellent equipment, it was enough to easily deal with the elite troops of the Wu Kingdom.
Of course, they had only a few people they could use to begin with. If they wanted to turn the situation around with such a small number of people, only fools would go head-on against the army of the Wu Kingdom …
Yangliuqing and the others probably still needed some time to prepare. When the first step of the plan was formulated, they would walk out of the Fringe and take the first step of the revolution.
Originally, he wanted to discuss with Drunken Mo about a few trendy underwear styles, but Old Man Wang came looking for him. They could only slowly talk about the underwear at night.
Li Yi admired Old Man Wang very much. He was avant-garde and bold. Although he was old, he wasn't pedantic at all. This was very rare in the current era.
Moreover, in the future revolution, as the former Prime Minister and the role model of the literati of the Wu Kingdom, Old Man Wang would play a very big role.
Ruyi and Yangliuqing were both martial artists. It was very easy for them to carry a knife and kill people. However, if they were to talk about unifying their thinking, the united front, how to fight the land war well, how to establish and govern a base after a great victory … Not only would they have a headache, but Li Yi himself would also have a headache.
Professional things should be done by professionals.
"These days, after Gyeong Of Silla's explanation, I'm suddenly enlightened." After Old Man Wang walked in, he first bowed to Li Yi.
In fact, it was more than a sudden enlightenment. After talking with Li Yi for the past few days, he finally understood that there was so much to learn about rebelling. Many aspects of it were similar to governing a country through different means.
He had long heard that Gyeong Of Silla was the best in the world and was also a famous minister in the Jing Kingdom in the past. He always thought that the rumors were exaggerated. Today, after experiencing it personally, he understood that those rumors were actually not true …
"You're welcome …" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Prime Minister Wang, is there a problem today?"
Old Man Wang nodded and said, "Gyeong Of Silla should also know that the traitor who usurped the throne was insane. After killing his brother and father, he was still worried that there would be others who would threaten his throne, so he slaughtered the Yang Clan with groundless charges …"
Li Yi nodded. He had also heard of what Emperor Wu had done. This was not only insane, it was practically anti-social and anti-human. No one would do such a thing …
"In this way, other than that traitor, there are no more males in the Yang Clan. After Her Royal Highness ascends the throne, that traitor will definitely not be able to escape death …" A trace of worry appeared on Old Man Wang's face, and he said, "But after Her Royal Highness, who should this vast world be handed over to?"
Li Yi understood Old Man Wang's worry very well. For example, the Jing Kingdom belonged to the Li family. It was fine for Li Xuan or Li Han to sit, but Li Yi himself could not sit. Emperor Wu had killed all the males in the Yang Clan. In the future, Empress Yangliuqing would be bored, so she could not casually choose someone with the surname Yang to pass the throne to.
Actually, what Old Man Wang said was wrong. Didn't the Yang Clan still have Yang Fu? Forget it, Old Man Wang already thought he was dead. He respected the dead, so he would not mention it.
However, on this matter, the Empress in the other world had already given an answer.
Li Yi looked at Old Man Wang and said, "What's so difficult about this? When your Princess has children in the future, just pass it to her son. What flows in his body is still half Yang Clan's blood, no?"
This was a very easy problem to solve. Let Yangliuqing's son have the surname Yang, and then inherit the throne.
Old Man Wang's thoughts were still limited, but it was already not easy for him to think of the Empress. This couldn't be circumvented, and Li Yi could understand.
Although Yangliuqing's child, in terms of bloodline, could not be compared to the orthodox Yang Clan's royal family, if she became the Empress, this wouldn't be a problem. In the other world, there was still someone who wanted to pass the throne to his nephew …
Old Man Wang came to a sudden realization and clasped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Gyeong Of Silla, for dispelling my doubts. I thank you on behalf of the people of the Wu Kingdom!"
"You're welcome …" Li Yi waved his hands again.
The child born by Yangliuqing would inherit the Wu Kingdom, so what was there to thank him for? He couldn't help her give birth to a son …
