The grass in the factory should be plucked

Urgent reports came in like snowflakes, and Nangong Qinghe was furious.

Ali worked tirelessly for these disaster victims and tried every possible way, even finding a high-yield crop like cassava, so that the people in the disaster areas could survive the famine and avoid starvation.

Unexpectedly, these ignorant people would repay kindness with enmity and instead use her to sacrifice to the gods!

What is even more hateful is Nangong Xi and this traitor!

They actually took advantage of the people's ignorance and incited the victims to openly rebel!

He summoned all his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Order the Southern Expedition General Xie Chang'an to lead 100,000 Southern Expedition troops to Henan to join General Zhang Zhe and wipe out the rebels!"

Nangong Qinghe was furious and gave the order boldly.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible!" Prime Minister Liang was the first to stop him.

"Why?"

"The rebels are all disaster victims, with only a few cult members. If Your Majesty sends troops to suppress them, it will only arouse public anger! Does Your Majesty want to kill all the hundreds of thousands of people in the disaster area?"

Prime Minister Liang spoke harshly.

"Since you participated in the rebellion, you are no longer a civilian, but a rebel! Why can't you kill them?"

Nangong Qinghe was still angry.

The ministers made their suggestions one after another. Some advocated war, but most of them advocated a gentle approach.

"The victims were all deceived by the Qinglian cult. Their crimes do not deserve death."

"Yes, I suggest that we send someone to negotiate first. After all, this matter was just a misunderstanding. The cassava poisoning was entirely caused by improper consumption. If we can resolve this misunderstanding, we can put an end to the war."

Nangong Qinghe's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Prince Jing'an, what do you think?"

Everyone turned their attention to the person involved.

The rebels’ slogan is “Kill the evil woman and clear out the imperial court”. Isn’t the “evil woman” they want to kill the Prince of Jing’an?

Jiang Li said calmly: "Please forgive my disrespect. I suggest that Your Majesty lead the army in person, go to the front line and meet the victims in person!"

All the ministers were in an uproar.

"Prince Jing'an, you are so bold! This is clearly pushing the emperor out to be your shield!"

Liang Shoufu said sternly.

Xie Changan and Liao Wuyong both frowned slightly and looked coldly at Prime Minister Liang.

Nangong Qinghe raised his hand to stop the ministers and said in a friendly manner: "Prince Jing'an must have her reasons, why not let her speak for herself?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I and the General of the Southern Expedition will naturally accompany you and face the victims directly."

She stated her reasons calmly.

"The rebels are all disaster victims. It is not right to fight them, nor is it right not to fight them. I agree with your opinions. Appeasement is the best approach."

"However, no matter which important minister is sent to negotiate, it will not be as effective as His Majesty coming in person to face the victims directly!"

Nangong Qinghe deeply agreed with this.

"Prince Jing'an is right. They are all the people of the Great Chu. What do I have to fear when I face my own people?"

"Since this is a misunderstanding, I will personally verify it in front of all the people!"

All the ministers were speechless, and no one could find a reason to object.

Therefore, Nangong Qinghe issued an order, and Xie Changan and Jiang Li led 10,000 cavalry to escort him to the front line to face the rebels.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the Imperial Guards escort Your Majesty, and Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo accompany you. I will also accompany Your Majesty to the front line to persuade the victims!"

Every word Liang Shoufu spoke was authentic.

What a joke! Let the Southern Expedition Army escort the emperor. Aren’t you afraid that these two people will use the emperor to control the princes?

He also has to go along so that he can keep an eye on every move of these two people!

"Can your health stand the long and forced march, Prime Minister?"

Xie Changan said coldly.

This old man must have bad intentions!

"I am still strong and will definitely not hold you back!"

Prime Minister Liang straightened his body and said, I'm only in my fifties and I'm in very good health!

Nangong Qinghe had no choice but to agree.

The East Factory Guards, led by Liao Wuyong, and the Imperial Guards escorted him to the front line, and Prince Jing'an, Duke Dingguo, and Prime Minister Liang accompanied him.

The Southern Expedition Army was led by Zhang Cang, who escorted all the civil officials, the empress, the eldest prince, and other women and children back to the capital as originally planned.

Jiang Li insisted on raising the twins herself.

"Kill the evil woman and clear the emperor's side." This was clearly the killing move of the soul-sucking insect aimed at her. How could she let the twins, boy and girl, leave her sight?

Although Prime Minister Liang really wanted to suggest holding the twins hostage with Empress Zhang, he shut up when he saw Xie Changan's murderous look.

The next day, Nangong Qinghe was dressed in military uniform and riding on a tall horse. He was speechless when he saw Jiang Li and Xie Changan riding their horses with a baby hanging on their chests.

You guys are truly a "husband and wife duo fighting tigers, and father and son fighting in battle"!

"Ari, your children are still young, aren't you afraid of scaring them?"

Nangong Qinghe looked at the children in their arms worriedly.

Xie Buqi in Jiang Li's arms turned his head and giggled at him.

Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but smile: "Young Master is quite courageous."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, these two are just fools and bold, they can't be scared."

She mouthed the word "evil cultivator". Nangong Qinghe understood and pointed to his chest, indicating that he was wearing the defensive jade talisman close to his body.

He also knew that the evil cultivator was intent on targeting Jiang Li, and that his goal of "killing the evil woman and clearing the court" was specifically for her, so keeping the twins with him was a helpless move.

The cavalry surrounded the holy carriage and sped away.

Zhang Wanwan held the eldest prince's hand, and together with Cui Jin and Lu Meiyi, watched them go away with worry.

Aunt Lian was also standing on the carriage, watching the girl and her husband go farther and farther away with tearful eyes.

She learned that tens of thousands of disaster victims had gathered to rebel, saying something like "kill the evil woman and clear the emperor's side", and wanted to threaten the emperor to sacrifice her daughter's blood and pray for rain from heaven!

Aunt Lian almost fainted from anger. What kind of heinous crime had her little cat slave committed that they had to sacrifice her to the gods? !

Her darling child had suffered so much since childhood, and he gritted his teeth to walk out of the cold palace. After becoming an official, how many good things had he done for the Great Chu and the people?

Those wicked people actually turned evil into evil and wanted to use her as a sacrifice to the gods!

What did her little cat do wrong?

Aunt Lian looked up at the sky and prayed silently in her heart, God, please show mercy to my girl. Even if she has to come down to earth to experience hardships, please don’t let her suffer so much!

Before leaving, Jiang Li quietly told her that after returning to Beijing, she should first stay temporarily at the Longmen Military Industry's farm. Mo Qilang had already greeted the people from Longmen Military Industry.

There were Fat Rat and his little brothers, as well as tunnels that extended in all directions. In case of any unexpected events, Fat Rat could lead her to escape quickly.

If you can't escape, you can hide first.

There are not only tunnels there, but also countless large formations. No one can get in without a Mohist disciple or Fat Rat leading the way.

Jiang Li told Aunt Lian that she must take the twins with her so that if anything happened, she and Xie Changan could take the twins and run away.

"Aunt, do you still remember the pair of eagles? I can summon them at any time."

Jiang Li's eyes sparkled, "So, if we want to leave, even thousands of troops can't stop us."

What's more, Xie Changan has already entered the Tao and is now in the innate realm. Who can be his opponent?

She repeatedly assured that she would always put her own safety and the safety of the twins first and would not put the two children in danger. Only then did Aunt Lian feel a little relieved.
