Chapter 166: Trip to Raojiang
Chapter 166: Trip to Raojiang
Bianliang.
In the imperial study room.
"Xiao Kui, has the Poison Lord from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave arrived?"
Zhong Xiaokui walked to the center of the hall, bowed and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have not seen any trace of him."
Su Qingjue frowned slightly.
He made it very clear in the letter, limiting the time for Poison Lord Chi Li to arrive.
But now, the time has come, but there is still no sign of him. Does this mean... Chi Li is not planning to come?
"Humph! How dare you!!"
Su Qingjue snorted coldly.
Originally according to his idea, with him and Yuan Tiangang around, Chi Li should not dare to disobey.
But the facts show that the other party must have someone to rely on, so he is not afraid of him and Yuan Tiangang.
"So, the God of War has already been refined by him. Otherwise, who gave him such courage?"
Su Qingjue murmured to himself in his heart.
Then, he looked at Zhong Xiaokui and said softly, "Xiaokui, go and invite Miss Chi Meng over."
"As ordered!"
Zhong Xiaokui's figure disappeared instantly.
After a long time, the figure in the study appeared again.
Zhong Xiaokui came back and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Miss Chi Meng is missing!"
"Ok?"
Su Qingjue looked puzzled.
That little girl was staying well in Bianliang, how could she just disappear like that?
After all, Zhong Xiaokui is the leader of the Blood Killing Organization, so when she found out Chi Meng was missing, she immediately sent people to look for her and investigate.
Finally, he reported the news to Su Qingjue as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, a guard guarding the city said that he saw Miss Chi Meng leaving the city alone, and she has not returned since then..."
Hearing this, Su Qingjue closed his eyes and thought.
Normally speaking, Chi Meng would not leave alone without saying goodbye.
And she actually had no reason to leave Bianliang.
Chi Meng knew that he had written a letter to Du Gong, so before the deadline, she only had to wait patiently in Bianliang.
In this case, how could she leave alone?
In this case, the most likely possibility is that she was taken away by someone.
Moreover, she probably went out of town alone just to meet someone she knew.
Su Qingjue thought of someone.
"It seems that You Chuan took Chi Meng away."
Su Qingjue briefly recalled the plot of the original drama.
At this time, You Chuan was still kept in the dark by Chi Li, and mistakenly believed that his adoptive father did that all for Rao Jiang and the Wan Du Cave.
"So, You Chuan must have listened to Chi Li and forcibly brought Chi Meng back to Raojiang..."
Su Qingjue quickly analyzed the whole process of the incident.
He asked in a deep voice: "When did the city guards see Chi Meng leave the city?"
Zhong Xiaokui said softly, "Your Majesty, it was three days ago."
"Three days... we should be able to catch up!" Su Qingjue whispered.
Then, he whispered to Zhong Xiaokui, "Xiaokui, go and call the teacher for me and tell him that I have something urgent to do."
"Yes." Zhong Xiaokui left quickly.
Su Qingjue gently put down the memorial in his hand, stood up from behind the desk, and stretched slightly.
He hasn't taken action for a long time and has been busy with state affairs every day recently.
After all, the new dynasty had just been established and all kinds of things needed to be controlled by him personally, so he had been feeling a little depressed recently.
Now, someone brought him a pillow just when he was about to doze off. He could take this opportunity to go to Raojiang, kill a poisonous man and relax.
Maybe if I'm lucky, I can even conquer the entire Raojiang.
"Your Majesty, I am Yuan Tiangang!"
Yuan Tiangang came to the imperial study and bowed respectfully towards Su Qingjue.
"Teacher, I've already told you that there's no need to be so polite between you and me." Su Qingjue said rather dissatisfiedly.
Yuan Tiangang straightened up, with one hand behind his back and the other in front of him.
He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is a difference between the monarch and his subjects. You must not disregard etiquette..."
Su Qingjue shook his head helplessly.
He didn't dwell on it too much and went straight to the point: "Teacher, I want you to accompany me to Raojiang."
"Raojiang?" Yuan Tiangang looked puzzled.
"good."
"This time, I will go to Raojiang in person to completely solve the troubles in Raojiang and make Raojiang submit to the new Datong Dynasty."
Su Qingjue continued, "There is also the legendary God of War Altar. I also want to see for myself whether its power is really as strong as the rumors say."
Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the strange altar of the god of war is against the law of nature. If possible, it is best to destroy it completely..."
At this point, Yuan Tiangang seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Su Qingjue smiled slightly and said:
"Teacher, I know that thing was made with a living person. Don't worry, my purpose of going to Raojiang is not to control it... Even if this thing is indeed a powerful weapon, as you said, this action is unacceptable to heaven."
Su Qingjue continued, "To conquer the world, you need extreme force, but to rule the country, you need the wisdom of unity."
"The God of War... heh... just a little trick!!"
When saying this, Su Qingjue's whole body exuded an extremely confident and domineering aura.
Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang showed a look of relief on his face.
He clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"......"
The next day, early in the morning.
At the court meeting, Su Qingjue listed the many crimes of the Poison Lord Chi Li with great indignation.
For example, using living people to refine weapons, using living people as poison testing equipment, using living people to raise poisonous insects, etc.
After hearing Su Qingjue's words, the ministers understood what he meant.
He just wanted to take action against Rao Jiang, and now he is looking for excuses.
Su Qingjue said in a deep voice: "Poison Lord's actions have reached the point where both humans and gods are outraged. Although Raojiang is not Datong's land, I don't want to see the people of Raojiang suffer from the oppression of Poison Lord..."
"The so-called universal peace, the world... also includes Raojiang!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of generals stepped out and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I want to fight!!"
"I am willing to be the vanguard!!"
"I will definitely chop off the head of the poisonous man to thank your majesty for his grace!!"
"..."
"My dear ministers, please be patient!"
Su Qingjue said in a deep voice: "It is said in the military books that the best way to fight a war is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities; attacking cities is the last resort!"
"The crime of Raojiang is the fault of Lord Du. As long as Lord Du is killed, Raojiang will be settled without a fight!"
"This..." The ministers did not understand Su Qingjue's meaning for a moment.
At the beginning, it seemed that they wanted to send troops to Raojiang, but now it seems that this is not the case.
What Su Qingjue said before was actually paving the way for his next sentence.
He said directly: "I want to go to Raojiang in person..."
Upon hearing this, the court was in an uproar.
"Your Majesty, your body is worth millions, how can you go to such a filthy place!!"
"Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with us for not being able to share your worries?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to issue a military order. If I cannot kill the Poison Lord within three months, I will bring my head to you!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!!!"
"..."
Su Qingjue knew that she would encounter great resistance.
He was also quite helpless. This was the price of becoming an emperor.
If he were still a general, he could go wherever he wanted.
But now, we have to consider the feelings of the ministers.
Can you say these ministers did something wrong?
In fact, no matter from which angle you look at it, what they are doing at this moment is extremely correct.
How could the emperor be allowed to take risks? Wouldn't it make it seem like there is no one in the court? Are these generals and ministers just here to eat for nothing?
Moreover, they did this to show their loyalty to the emperor.
Especially those old Liang officials, now they are eager to seize every opportunity to show themselves.
"Okay, I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"
"Then the Imperial Master will go with me, and the Empress will supervise the country for me..."
"Retreat!"
"Farewell, Emperor!!"
