The Emperor is Above

Chapter 118 The Crisis Behind the Conspiracy

Tun Shigu knelt on the ground, pulling Qing Yi's sleeves with his two fat hands.

With a chubby face tilted up and small eyes wide open, he is eagerly waiting for B's reply, just like a cute panda.

"Ugh--"

Qing Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh. A fat man weighing 200 pounds acting cute in front of you was really unbearable, no matter how interesting his soul was.

Fortunately, Qing Yi is very strong now. He picked up Tu Shigu from the ground like a chicken, shook his head and sighed, "It's difficult, too difficult!

Brother Shi Gu, I am willing to help you when you are in trouble, but I don’t know where to start. I want to help you but I don’t know how to help you.”

"Brother, I can help you! I can help you! You can help me as long as you are willing!"

Tu Shigu came over hurriedly, smiling apologetically, "Brother has been thinking hard these past few days, and has come up with some ideas.

The fact that tens of thousands of weapons were lost in the entire capital area may seem serious, but on the other hand, the number of people who lost weapons is also large.

What's more, the law does not hold everyone responsible. Now I'm afraid that hundreds of dukes and ministers have lost their weapons, ranging from dozens to hundreds. My brother just lost a little more. The king can't kill all the hundreds of dukes, right?

Besides, you have always been clever, and you might come up with some amazing inventions. When the time comes, I will share some of the credit with you, and if the king is happy, there might not be any punishment, but maybe even a reward."

"Brother Shi Gu, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!"

So this is the reason why Tu Shigu came here regardless of the danger. Qing Yi couldn't help shaking his head repeatedly. He paced slowly in the room and patiently analyzed it for him.
“Tens of thousands of weapons and armor were lost in a short period of time. Although the number of weapons seemed huge, they were both new and old, and their quality varied.

Even if the nobles of various countries were poor, they would still care about their reputation and would not look down upon such worn-out armor. It would be very difficult to sell them quickly, so the most likely destination of these armors was the people of the wilderness."

At this point, Qing Yi's eyes became more determined, and he said in a very affirmative tone: "Yes, although most of these weapons are worn out, they are in large quantities. They are all weapons normally used by the private army of the nobility, and only the people of the wilderness would need such things.

In addition, the cat ghosts and gods used to be active in the wealthy Central Plains countries, but now this group of black-robed priests suddenly poured into the poor Xing State without any warning.

The fact that they were able to mobilize so many black-robed priests in a short period of time, spread the news widely in the capital of Xing State, and acted in such a high-profile manner, shows that this matter must be led by the cat ghost god, and it has no intention of taking root for a long time.

Some time ago, priests from the Ghost Witch Tribe, the Black Wind Tribe, and the Blood Wolf Tribe all appeared around the capital. The beastmaster from the Blood Wolf Tribe was active in Jiming Lake years ago.

By the way, we also encountered a strange black cat on the way to the capital. It seems that the Ghost Witch Tribe, the Black Wind Tribe, and the Cat Ghost God Tribe may have formed an alliance. "

At this point, Qing Yi's expression became more serious: "In the north, the Xianyu tribe invades every year, the Guiwu tribe troubles the twelve cities in the northeast, the Black Wind tribe secedes in the southeast, and there are wild settlements everywhere in the territory.

Although Xing State was in a difficult situation in the past, it was able to hold on thanks to the martial spirit of its people and trade with countries south of the Yellow River.

But now cat ghosts and gods are spreading widely in the capital area. On the one hand, they are corrupting the morals of the people, and on the other hand, they are stealing large quantities of weapons and selling them to the wild people in various places, causing many hidden dangers.

Once the Ghost Witch Tribe, the Black Wind Tribe and the Xianyu Tribe collude with each other, the king will have to mobilize the Left Division, the Right Division and the Central Division to go out for support. If the capital is empty at that time, the Cat Ghost God will be able to directly cause chaos in the capital—"

"Ah——" Tushi Gu couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, interrupting Qing Yi's guess. He couldn't help but shiver and explained,

"Brother, you may not know this, but last month, Northern Frontier's Huo Yunyaqing repeatedly sent urgent messages, saying that Xianyu's army had breached three lines of defense. The king urgently dispatched the Left and Right Divisions to Northern Frontier for rescue."

"Hmm? Left Master and Right Master have already left the capital?"

Qing Yi was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that the facts were so consistent with his guess. It was obvious that the situation was getting worse step by step.

Tu Shigu explained carefully, "I also heard from Ma Zhiyuan, the head of Xiema Pavilion, that the capital is now only guarded by the Palace Guards, the Central Division, and the City Guards.

Even the Flying Eagle Guards of the Flying Eagle Camp were transferred in large numbers to the northern border to assist in the war. It was said that a group of fierce scouts riding on ferocious birds had recently appeared in Xianyu's army.

Therefore, the city guards responsible for the security of the capital issued a notice to all the pavilions and villages in late April, asking everyone to be on high alert to prevent the people of the Great Marsh from causing trouble again. Brother, don’t you know this? "

"It's very quiet here. No one has come here for more than a month. If it weren't for Brother Shigu coming here, I wouldn't know so many things happened!"

Qing Yi was extremely annoyed. He didn't expect so many major events to happen recently. No wonder Old Man Shi didn't bring Niu Niu to Guqiu again recently, and no wonder Xu Zhengjia hadn't been seen since he came here once.

I clearly didn't do anything, but I was targeted again and again. Even if it was just a clay figure, I would be angry and furious.

Thinking of this, Qing Yi gave up the idea of ​​taking the risk to go to the capital to report. Under the precarious situation, the people in the court of Xing State were still making their own calculations. It was enough for him to protect himself and the villagers of Guqiu.

"What? The city guards didn't send anyone to inform you, brother?" Tu Shigu immediately pretended to be united against the enemy and asked carefully,

"Brother, if we go to the capital now and tell the king and the ministers about the conspiracy of the cat ghost god, will we be exempted from the blame?"

"Tell the king and the ministers?" Qing Yi couldn't help but sneered, "Brother Shi Gu, what do you think? Maybe you won't achieve any merit, and you might even be charged with spreading rumors to confuse the people."

"Forget it then!"

Tu Shigu couldn't help but shudder. "Don't meddle in other people's business. We brothers should just take care of ourselves. As for what to do next, I will follow your arrangements."

Looking at the funny look of Tu Shigu, Qing Yi couldn't help but laugh, and continued to analyze: "Brother Shigu, don't worry too much. If the cat ghost wants to cause trouble in the capital, the only people they can use are the people of the Great Lake.

The people of Daze are not fools. It is a good thing for them to obtain these weapons and armors, but there are many titles in the capital area, and there are also central divisions, city guards, and night guards guarding it. An attack will also result in casualties. How could they take action without sufficient benefits?
In addition, the Left Division and the Right Division went to the northern border to fight against Xian Yu's army. They will definitely not be able to return within half a year, so the most likely time for them to take action is around the autumn harvest.

They can cooperate with the Ghost Witch Tribe and the Black Wind Tribe to cause chaos in the capital area, and also plunder a large amount of food supplies. As for the months before the autumn harvest, they can also be used to confuse the Tingli Fengjue in the capital area, making them think that the people of the Great Marsh know nothing. "

Qing Yi paused at this point and said to Tu Shigu seriously: "Brother Shigu, since there are still three months until the autumn harvest, please make some more armor and weapons. Don't let them be stolen again."

Tu Shigu hesitated for a long time, looking a little embarrassed, before he said with a smile: "Brother, why don't I move all my belongings to Guqiu!"
