Chapter 868 Miao Zheng
The next day, early in the morning.
Shen Shuyi woke up in Xie Jingchi's arms. Seeing that he was still sleeping, she couldn't help but push him gently: "Don't you have to go to the tent today?"
After all, he was the military supervisor, and this time he came to Liangzhou, he was also responsible for the instructions of Emperor Qianwu.
"You can go later today. I summoned all the soldiers last night to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy." Xie Jingchi's voice was a little hoarse, and he held her tighter in his arms.
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi didn't say anything else, but she felt a little sorry for his hard work, so she didn't say anything else.
But now that he was awake, Xie Jingchi no longer felt sleepy. He just kind of missed the feeling of holding her in his arms.
"Shushu, if one day you find out that what you saw is not all, what will you do?" Xie Jingchi lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
Shen Shuyi repeated softly: "Not all?"
"kindness."
Shen Shuyi didn't quite understand what he meant: "What people can see is only the tip of the iceberg. No one can see the whole thing."
Xie Jingchi was silent for a moment, then asked, "What if what you believe is not true?"
Shen Shu thought for a moment and said slowly: "Then break it and see what is real."
Hearing this, Xie Jingchi didn't ask any more questions. He turned over, pressed Shen Shuyi under him, and kissed her lips.
Shen Shuyi's cheeks flushed: "Early in the morning..."
"A day's plan begins in the morning." Xie Jingchi interrupted her.
After a while of struggling, Shen Shuyi finally drove Xie Jingchi away after someone informed him.
After getting familiar with each other, Shen Shuyi's cheeks were still very red. Several maids pretended to be unaware of it, but the more they did so, the more annoyed Shen Shuyi became.
"Madam, there is news from Jiuchou."
Just after dinner, Qin Xin walked in quickly.
At that moment, Shen Shuyi walked directly outside the tent and looked at Jiu Chou: "How is it?"
"We have checked. Li Ye is indeed trapped. He is currently trapped in the water dungeon of the Li clan. There are insects and snakes everywhere in the dungeon. It doesn't seem to be fake. There is also a fierce quarrel between the two factions within the Li clan."
Jiuchou spoke with certainty, while Shen Shuyi began to think about it.
Although the Sixth Elder and Li Tian are dead, Li Ye is still alive. He can be said to be the only remaining bloodline of the Sixth Elder. Therefore, all factions that are hostile to the Second Elder will not miss this opportunity.
"Li Ye should not be the only remaining bloodline of the Sixth Elder. The Sixth Elder also has a daughter, who is Li Ye's sister. She is now married, but her husband has a high status in the Li clan. He has many dead servants under his command. Moreover, this person is in charge of most of the Li clan's soldiers and horses."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes.
That's right. No matter how weak the Li clan is, they cannot rely solely on the art of poisonous insects. They must have soldiers and horses. Even if the number of soldiers and horses is not large, it is only relative to the surrounding big countries.
In normal times, when suppressing the people or dealing with neighboring enemy countries, there must always be real troops.
It seems that Li Ye has an extraordinary sister and brother-in-law.
"Yes, although Li Ye's brother-in-law is not of noble status, he holds real power. Even the elders of the Li clan have to respect him." Jiuchou echoed.
Shen Shuyi said calmly: "They are more than respectful to him. They must be very afraid of him in their hearts."
The so-called belief in the saint is nothing more than a means of deceiving oneself and others and fooling the people.
Although poisonous insects and poison techniques are indeed intimidating, their powerful strength should not be underestimated.
After all, even if they poisoned someone, how long would it last? How many people could they control? They couldn't really rule all the tribes with these things, could they?
Who would be convinced in that case?
"Miss, should we save people?" Jiuchou asked.
Shen Shu thought about it and shook his head: "We won't save them, but we will kill them."
A strange light flashed in Shen Shuyi's eyes. The situation of the Li clan was much better than she had expected. After all, she had never thought that Li Ye had such a powerful brother-in-law.
In this way, if there is someone to support us, it will be much easier to wipe out the Second Elder's clan.
However, it depends on the attitude of Li Ye, the brother-in-law. After all, their move is equivalent to controlling the royal power of the Li clan. In other words, even if they have no intention of controlling the Li clan, they may not believe it.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
If Li Ye's brother-in-law agreed to pick them up, it would be tantamount to colluding with foreign enemies, which is exactly the same as what Xiao Heyu did back then.
However, Shen Shuyi thought that even if they did not agree to join forces with her, at least he would give them some leniency if they rescued Li Ye.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi looked at Jiu Chou and asked, "What is this person's name?"
"This man's name is Miao Zheng. He has been practicing Tai Chi with the Second Elder these days. He seems to be quite calm and doesn't seem to be worried about Li Ye's life or death."
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything. It was hard to say whether Miao Zheng cared or not, but judging from the relationship between Li Ye and Li Tian, at least Li Ye's sister should care.
*
In the evening, after Xie Jingchi came back, Shen Shuyi told her about this.
"I thought that the prince was planning to have the soldiers pretend to be poisoned in order to lure the Yuanxia army into the trap. However, this move would be most reliable if the Li clan informed the Yuanxia army. So we might as well take this opportunity to seize the Li clan."
After Shen Shuyi finished speaking, seeing that Xie Jingchi remained silent, he could not help but look at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Xie Jingchi curled his lips: "Madam, I really have a tacit understanding with you."
Shen Shuyi couldn't help but laugh. She felt that talking to a smart man like him really saved her trouble and effort. It was unlike her previous life, when she had racked her brains and thought carefully, but still had to go to great lengths to convince Xiao Tingshan first.
Xiao Tingshan didn't believe her at all. He didn't believe that she was a woman who came out of a deep house, nor did he believe that she would really give up everything for him.
So, he deserved to lose in the end.
"Should I go with you to see the prince? We should act early. After we conquer the Li clan, Mr. Liancheng's herbs will be ready soon. Then we can use the 50,000-strong army to ambush Yuan Xia and completely defeat him." Shen Shu said with consideration in mind.
"No need, I'll just talk to him." Xie Jingchi said gently.
Shen Shuyi nodded: "After the prince sends people, I plan to take people to the Li tribe. First, to save Li Ye, and second, I also want to meet this Miao Zheng."
If Miao Zheng can be fully recruited for his own use, then the relationship between the Li clan and Daqian will be much more solid in the future.
At least, the people of Daqian will no longer have to be frightened by the poisonous insects, and she will have an extra trump card in her hand.
She wanted to take away everything Xiao Tingshan wanted.
She had to watch him step by step, as he was full of calculations and scheming, but in the end he could only watch helplessly as what he wanted was lost one after another.
