Chapter 171
When Li Yunqing walked out of the imperial study, the sun was still scorching outside, and the flag of Qin State was fluttering in the wind.

Cui Tingyu was waiting for her at the bottom of the steps. When she saw her coming, he smiled and bowed and said, "Master Emperor."

"En." Li Yunqing responded lightly, and walked down with him.

"It seems that Your Majesty trusts Your Excellency very much." Cui Tingyu said as he walked.

Li Yunqing tilted her head slightly, glanced at him, her eyes were as clear as water: "At present, he can only trust me."

The situation in the court is clear at a glance, Xuanyuan Zhai really has nothing to do except help her grow stronger.

Just now Xuanyuan Zhai said that he would help her, but in fact, he went along with the Ministry of War for borrowing troops, and no one would pay any attention to him, so he returned it for any reason.

"My lord knows whether Xingzhou will be easy to get rid of, where can we borrow troops from?" Cui Tingyu's eyes were deep in thought.

Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "You first investigate where their lair is, the exact number of people, and the strength of the troops. I will find a way."

He had just reached the gate of the palace.

"Thank you, sir." Cui Tingyu bowed.

Li Yunqing nodded slightly: "Go."

Cui Tingyu turned and left, Li Yunqing stood at the gate of the palace and looked at his back, in fact, she knew it well.

Cui Tingyu is only a fifth-rank envoy, and there are very few people who can be dispatched now. It is even more difficult for him to find out the Xing Zhouhui.

She shook her head, this matter needs to be handed over to Cao Ba and the others for investigation.

When Li Yunqing walked outside the palace gate, she saw Long Tiance waiting at the gate, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing here?"

Long Tiance turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw it was Li Yunqing, he couldn't help but smile: "I'll wait for you."

"What's the matter?" Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows slightly.

"How did you know someone would assassinate His Majesty?" Long Tiance narrowed his eyes with a serious expression.

Li Yunqing twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

"You still want to get involved in these things, right?" Long Tiance frowned under the scorching sun, his eyes full of complexity and worry.

She nodded, and the curled eyelashes suppressed the emotion in her eyes.

The air was quiet for a long time.

Lie Yang remained the same, but neither of them spoke.

They all grew up in the imperial city, although one was the daughter of the emperor's teacher who was born noble, and the other was a lowly slave who climbed up to the position of great commander little by little.

But they all saw the matter of Daqin very clearly, and they also understood each other's mind very well.

There are many things that don't need to be said.

Li Yunqing stretched out her hand to brush the broken hair on her forehead, just about to speak to break the deadlock, she heard Long Tiance say: "Can I help you with anything?"

Li Yunqing suddenly raised her head, her clear eyes were full of surprise.

The tall man in front of her still smiled warmly.

She especially remembered the boy called a lowly slave who was bullied when she entered the palace for the first time and rescued her.

She especially remembered that for many years later, he asked her for advice on ancient literature books.

There wasn't much interaction between them.

She was busy studying, and later became a first-rank emperor teacher.

He was busy practicing martial arts and meritorious service, and later became the commander of the Imperial Guard.

But for them, they always remember that childhood memory in their hearts.

For Li Yunqing, this is a brother who takes good care of her.

For Long Tiance, she is the person he most wants to protect in this life.

Li Yunqing raised the corners of her lips slightly, with a smile in her clear eyes: "Thank you Brother Long, but this matter concerns His Majesty's An Wei, you should protect Your Majesty."

Long Tiance frowned: "I know you definitely need troops, I can transfer the Imperial Guard..."

"Impossible." Li Yunqing refused straight away, eyebrows furrowed, "They are the remnants of the previous dynasty, and their biggest task is to kill His Majesty. If the imperial city is relaxed and they rush into the palace, those ministers will stand by and watch. You must protect Your Majesty. ah."

"But, I..." Long Tiance knew that Li Yunqing was right, but he... still wanted to help her the most.

Li Yunqing smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry, I have my own way. If I wipe out a soldier from the Xing Zhouhui, I can't even send them here, so I'm still a first-rank emperor teacher."

Seeing what Li Yunqing said with such certainty, Long Tiance sighed helplessly: "Well, well, well, I'll listen to you, you have to be careful."

"En." Li Yunqing nodded with a smile.

……

Li Yunqing went out of the palace gate, Aunt Yue was waiting for her by the carriage, seeing her coming, she hurried over: "How is Miss?"

"It's done." Li Yunqing went straight to the carriage, stepped on the small bench and got into the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed the center of her eyebrows slightly, and leaned on the carriage, hardly wanting to move.

Aunt Yue poured a glass of water for Li Yunqing and handed it to her.

She reached out to catch it, drank it in one gulp, and put the glass down again.

Yuegu picked up the teapot and filled it again, the clear tea rippled in the cup.

Li Yunqing's clear eyes were reflecting the ripples, and she was deep in thought.

Yuegu raised her head to take a closer look at Li Yunqing's expression, and said softly: "Miss, are you worried about annihilating Xing Zhouhui's troops?"

Li Yunqing closed her eyes and nodded: "This matter is not urgent, you should first find out where Xing Zhouhui came from."

"Yes." Yue Gu replied softly.

Soon they returned to the Emperor's Mansion.

Li Yunqing was sitting in the study reading a book, while Aunt Yue fanned the palace fan to bring in a cool breeze.

Her side face was cold and indifferent, her fingers as white as jade gently turned the pages of the book, and the air was extremely silent.

Everything depends on how Cao Ba and the others investigate.

About the afternoon of the second day.

Cao Ba came from outside, sat on a chair with sweat profusely, drank a glass of water before saying: "Yunqing, I found it."

Li Yunqing raised her head and glanced at him lightly: "Where is it?"

"It's just outside the imperial capital in a place called Qingshan County. The mountains in that place are severe. If it weren't for our lightness skills, we might not be able to find it. That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The soldiers have gone, and they are simply giving away their heads." Cao Ba finished speaking in one breath, poured another glass of water and drank it down.

Contemplation flashed across Li Yunqing's clear eyes, and she tapped the table with her fingers one after another.

She sighed faintly, since the imperial soldiers were useless, she had no choice but to use the people from the Ghost Control Pavilion.

But they can't just go like this, they are killers after all, it's nothing to help the court, and it will expose that the owner of the Ghost Control Pavilion is her.

So what can I do...

"Did you tell Cui Tingyu about this?" Li Yunqing asked.

"Not yet, of course I was the first one to tell you when I got the news." Cao Ba raised his eyebrows, glass after glass of water, looking tired from running around for a long time.

Li Yunqing pursed her lips slightly: "Send someone to tell him to see if he can be transferred from the Ministry of War to the soldier."

"That's definitely impossible. They are all paid by Lin Qisu. You fought with them for this job. They are just happy that you can't transfer soldiers." Cao Ba smiled sarcastically.

Li Yunqing tilted her head slightly, the corners of her lips curved coolly: "I just let Cui Tingyu go through the motions, I have my own way."

"Okay, I'll do it now." Cao Ba waved his hand, strode out of the study room, leaped up to the roof, and went out quickly.

Yuegu glanced at Li Yunqing who was in deep thought, and still fanned the wind gently.

Li Yunqing propped her chin with her hands, looking outside casually.

The scorching sun shining through the tea branches and leaves outside falls on the ground little by little, the light and shadow are mottled, and the scenery is beautiful.

Soon, Cui Tingyu got the news and went to the Imperial Study Room.

Naturally, Xuanyuan Zhai ordered the Ministry of War to give Cui Tingyu [-] soldiers to go to Qingshan County to annihilate Xingzhouhui.

But the Ministry of War refused with various excuses.

Xuanyuan Zhai, the emperor, was furious in the palace, but he had no choice but to win over those people with overwhelming power.

Cui Tingyu came to the Emperor's Mansion full of anger.

"My lord, what kind of world is this now? Your Majesty, as a king, can't mobilize any of his subjects."

Li Yunqing drank tea slowly, and said lightly: "It's not the first time I've seen this kind of thing, why should I care about it?"

Xuanyuan Zhai was able to revolt in the peasantry and win the throne quickly, firstly because of the two right-hand men Li Ye and Bei Yezhan, and more because of the agreement signed with those powerful officials.

They didn't stop Xuanyuan Zhai from attacking the imperial capital, but they didn't even think about reducing the rights of their big families.

Of course Xuanyuan Zhai didn't have that ability reduction either.

After all, Xuanyuan Zhai has always been a puppet.

Let the members of the three powerful families run rampant, oppress the common people, and live a life of extravagance.

"But..." Cui Tingyu looked serious, "How can we annihilate Xingzhouhui without troops? Once time passes, your hard work will be in vain, sir, and you will be ridiculed by those people."

Li Yunqing glanced at Cui Tingyu casually: "Since I dare to fight for it, I must have a way."

"What way?" Cui Tingyu asked in surprise.

"Many people in the imperial capital have been bullied by the Xing Zhouhui. Naturally, they have resentment. We can recruit volunteers in the imperial capital." Li Yunqing said lightly.

"what?!"

This thought really shocked Cui Tingyu, "But these people are common people, they don't know martial arts, aren't they going to die?"

Li Yunqing glanced helplessly at Cui Tingyu.

Cui Tingyu immediately came to his senses: "Oh, you want your shadow guards to pretend to be ordinary people, participate in the recruitment, and then go to Qingshan County to annihilate the Xing Zhouhui as a matter of course?"

"That's right." Li Yunqing smiled calmly, "These shadows are all high in martial arts. Even Xing Zhouhui has countless masters in the world, but they are capable of fighting once."

"But this will cause the adult's shadow guard to bleed profusely." Cui Tingyu frowned.

In the final analysis, Li Yunqing was the one who risked everything he could.

As a woman, even though she is a first-rank emperor teacher, she is only a 15-year-old orphan.

But she is so wise and unparalleled, and she cares about the people of the world.
