The grass in the factory should be plucked

The reason why Jiang Li kept a backup plan was not because she didn't trust Nangong Qinghe, but she couldn't gamble with the lives of her entire family on human nature, let alone the emperor's heart.

There are many records in history books that many founding emperors, after they had firmly established their thrones, would attack their brothers who had been through life and death together!

Are there not many examples of “When the birds are all gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked”?

She had to be on guard and prepare for the worst.

If Nangong Qinghe wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of her and Xie Changan, this rebellion by the disaster victims was undoubtedly the best opportunity.

She suggested that Nangong Qinghe go to the front line in person and face the victims directly. This was not only the best way to deal with the rebels, but also an opportunity to force out his true thoughts.

In fact, Jiang Li still had a killer move hidden, but the time had not yet come, so she didn't tell anyone.

It all depends on what Nangong Qinghe chooses!

After a quick march, it took only half a month for the group to pass through the Jinniu Road and arrive in Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is the exit of Jinniu Road, bordering Baoning Prefecture of Sichuan to the south and not far from the prosperous Shu area.

Although the harvest here was poor, a steady supply of supplies was shipped in from Shu, so the people had enough food and clothing, and the situation was still stable.

Prime Minister Liang almost collapsed from exhaustion, looking extremely tired, but he still forced himself to hold on along the way, riding on the horse with his body straight.

He believed that if he showed the slightest sign of "not being able to do it anymore", the evil woman, Princess Jing'an, would instigate the emperor to abandon him halfway!

The twin boy and girl, who were just half a year old, were still full of energy. How could he show weakness?

To be honest, putting aside their different political views, he still admired this charming woman very much.

Not only is she strong herself, but even her child is so strong!

I was tied to my parents all the way. I slept when I was tired and ate when I was hungry. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Whenever he saw someone riding a horse passing by, he would suck his fingers and give that person an innocent, toothless smile, and soon became the darling of the entire team.

I heard that these two children were born with supernatural powers. Just like their mother, they are absolute freaks!

When Nangong Qinghe occasionally took a break, he would ask Jiang Li and Xie Changan to bring the twins over. Watching them crawling around on the mat, so lively and active, all his tiredness would instantly disappear.

The little eagle and its team of birds also came along.

With this fast-acting and elusive "spy" force, military information from the front can be delivered almost simultaneously.

As more and more victims join in, the number of rebels has reached one hundred thousand!

The defenders in various places were in a great trouble. This mob included many old, weak, women and children, and the weapons in their hands were of various kinds, even spatulas and brooms!

They couldn't bring themselves to kill these unarmed elderly, weak, women and children!

The disaster victims in the city also started to make trouble, either looting food or attacking the defenders, leaving them in a state of panic and not knowing what to do.

In this way, cities were lost one after another. When Zhang Zhejiang led the Zhenbei Army to arrive, the whole of Henan was under the control of the rebels.

At this moment, the Zhenbei Army was in Huaiqing Prefecture, confronting the rebels.

The rebels made the elderly, the weak, women and children stand outside the city gate, threatening them with death, and claimed that if the army advanced one step further, they would commit suicide in public!

This put Zhang Zhe in a dilemma.

After Nangong Qinghe arrived at Hanzhong Prefecture, the prefect of Hanzhong came out trembling with fear to greet him.

After a short rest, Nangong Qinghe summoned the generals accompanying the army and Prime Minister Liang to discuss matters together.

"Is the Prime Minister okay?" Nangong Qinghe asked gently.

Although this old man is stubborn and loves to engage in factional struggles, he is loyal to the king. He is experienced and skilled in political affairs, so Nangong Qinghe still respects him very much.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine." Prime Minister Liang said through gritted teeth.

Never admit anything even if it happens!

The twins could finally sleep in bed, guarded by Qingfeng, Mingyue and the other three.

Jiang Li and Xie Changan no longer held the children, but came to discuss matters with empty hands. Everyone was a little uncomfortable with it.

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "I always feel like something is missing if I can't see the young county lady and the young prince."

Jiang Li begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please let me take a break. Serving these two little enemies all the way is more tiring than fighting a war!"

Nangong Qinghe laughed.

Xie Changan took out the intelligence and presented it: "According to the intelligence sent by General Ying, the rebel leader is named Yang Lin, a core disciple of the Qinglian Sect, about thirty years old, and used to be a butcher, very strong and powerful."

"The so-called Qinglian Patriarch and Qinglian Fairy didn't show up?"

Nangong Qinghe was a little surprised.

Doesn’t his good brother, the Emperor, want this world?

"Maybe he wants to reap the benefits while others are still the winners." Jiang Li said.

She said to Xie Changan through the heart contract: "In fact, the soul-catching insect does not care about the Great Chu. What he is thinking about is how to return to the world of cultivation!"

"So, this is why it wants to use you to sacrifice to the heavens?" Xie Changan gritted his teeth.

Why use the witch to sacrifice to the sky? Isn't it just to take the opportunity to devour Jiang Li's pure spirit!

"Yes." Jiang Li glanced at him sideways, "It probably also has you in mind."

The spirit and soul of Yuanying Zhenjun is a great tonic!

Xie Changan was upset.

He continued to report to Nangong Qinghe: "Currently, a rebel army, led by Deputy Leader Madam Gao, is confronting the Zhenbei Army led by General Zhang Zhe in Huaiqing Prefecture."

"Madam Gao is Yang Lin's wife and a key disciple of the Qinglian Sect."

"Yang Lin is leading 50,000 rebels and is heading towards Shaanxi. It is estimated that the next target is Xi'an Prefecture."

Nangong Qing and Da Qi: "Zhang Zhe is actually helpless against a woman? Is Madam Gao very powerful?"

Xie Changan smiled bitterly: "The rebels are using despicable means, using the elderly, the weak, women and children to guard the city gates. If the army advances one step, they will commit suicide in public!"

That's why Zhang Zhe was in a dilemma.

"Does Prince Jing'an have any good ideas?"

Nangong Qinghe turned to Jiang Li.

Prime Minister Liang was furious. Why did she have to ask her about everything?

Am I the Prime Minister, or is she the Prime Minister?

However, Prime Minister Liang had to admit that if he was asked, he didn't know what to do.

Jiang Li rolled his eyes and said, "Send a message to Longmen Military Industry in Beijing and ask them to produce the smoke bombs with knockout drugs as soon as possible and send them to the front line as quickly as possible."

Now Longmen Tiangong has developed gas masks. As long as our soldiers wear gas masks, they don’t need to consider the wind direction and can directly throw smoke bombs at the rebels.

This way, we can save the lives of the victims and capture them in one fell swoop.

"Great idea!"

Nangong Qinghe nodded repeatedly. How could he forget such a useful thing?

When Mongolia paid the Hetao region as compensation to the Great Chu, in order to prevent Mongolia from taking it back, Jiang Li asked Zhang Yanping, the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo, to lay a "minefield" on the border. It was by using this kind of smoke bomb that the tenth prince of Mongolia, Bater, was captured again.

Xie Changan said: "And the flying kite, make some of that too."

Jiang Li clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, the flying kite is just right for Zhang Zhe and his men to use in attacking the city."

She immediately wrote a handwritten order and asked Suifeng to deliver it to Yinjiu and have it done as soon as possible.

Prime Minister Liang was dumbfounded. Only these two people who didn't play by the rules could come up with such a "unconventional" approach!

With a solution, Nangong Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since the rebels are about to attack Xi'an Prefecture, I will go to Xi'an to meet them."
