"Damn it! Duke Kui actually rebelled?"
In Taiji Palace, Li Shiming threw the secret book in his hand to the ground in anger.
No wonder Duke Kui had asked for his resignation early in the morning, saying that something had happened in his hometown and that he had to go back to deal with it.
He did not expect that this was actually an excuse. The secret letter was sent to the Imperial Palace by Ye Gucheng. However, Ye Gucheng did not show himself because to him, the safety of Li Zhi was more important than the Tang Empire.
He only followed the order and informed Li Shi Min of the matter before rushing back to save Li Zhi.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect Liu Hongji to be so bold!”
Zhangsun Wuji frowned. Liu Hongji had no reason to rebel! Among all the meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion, Liu Hongji was one of the most favored.
Why would he rebel when he was blessed by the heavens?
"Hmph, it's all because the Crown Prince discovered their filth! Do you dare to believe it? The Lingzhou Prefecture had been suffering from famine for three consecutive years! However, the Imperial Court knew nothing about this!”
Li Shiming was furious. This was the inner pass! At Tian Zi's feet! There was actually such a thing as deceiving the emperor.
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes flashed. As the Great Tang's strategist, he had clearly heard some rumors. However, he did not pursue the matter further.
This might be a common problem for officials born in noble families.
In fact, even if he was serious, Li Shiming didn't pay much attention to this matter. Because in their minds, perhaps the commoners were not the most important.
The interests of the country came first. Liu Hongji was an important official of the imperial court and a general who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. Under such circumstances, unless his true identity was exposed, even Li Shiming would choose to turn a blind eye.
This was reality.
This was also what Li Zhi was dissatisfied with. Perhaps the system wanted Li Zhi to be different from the other emperors. That was why it allowed him to travel in disguise and experience the sufferings of the people.
After all, Li Shi Min was born into a noble family.
"Your Majesty, the commandant of the Inner Pass is Liu Hongji's former subordinate. It seems that the entire Inner Pass is about to be in turmoil.”
Xu Maogong frowned.
"Now it seems that we can only use the black-armored army.”
Li Shimin sighed in his heart. He trusted Liu Hongji very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept changing the organization of the Inner Pass. The current officers of the Inner Pass Dao were all former subordinates left behind by Liu Hongji.
Li Shimin would never have thought that Liu Hongji would choose to rebel.
The capital's black-armored army set out directly, and the 20,000 black-armored soldiers, as well as the surrounding Zhechong Prefecture, were also mobilizing troops to support them.
It could be said that Liu Hongji had poked a hornet's nest this time! In the Great Tang today, the Li Clan was still in control of everything. Liu Hongji was also forced into a corner. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to rebel.
Meanwhile, in the prison cell of Lingzhou Prefecture.
"Swoosh!"
A sword light flashed! Soon after, the bailiffs in the cell fell to the ground one by one. Upon closer inspection, a trace of blood slowly appeared on their necks.
"Gucheng, you're here."
Li Zhi sat indifferently on the straw mat and softly said.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Shua!
A figure with a long sword in his hand suddenly appeared in front of Li Zhi.
"Ah!"
The people in the cell all exclaimed in surprise as they stared blankly at the green-robed swordsman who had appeared out of thin air.
At this moment, Liu Zhenghai was even more shocked. This sword technique was like a ghost! This kind of person was actually just Mu Zihuang's servant. Who exactly was Mu Zihuang?
"Bang!"
With a flash of sword light, the shackle was cut off. Then, Ye Gucheng walked in and helped Li Zhi out. Although Li Zhi was in good health, the environment here was too bad.
In addition to begging for days, his physical strength was somewhat weak.
Li Zhi was helpless. He had once thought of asking for guidance from the Lone City's martial arts. Unfortunately, martial arts seemed to be something that did not conform to the rules in this world.
Other than the characters in the system, the natives of this world could not learn it at all.
Li Zhi could be considered as one. Although he was a transmigrator, martial arts did not exist in either the world he transmigrated to or this world, so Li Zhi could not learn it.
It seemed that Li Zhi's method of becoming stronger was not to rely on the protection of a group of system characters. (I don't want the main character to be so powerful that he can fight against thousands of troops alone. If that's the case, why would I need to travel in disguise? I'll just suppress everything in the world with force.)）
Then, Gucheng released Liu Zhenghai and the three of them left. As for the prisoners in the cell, Li Zhi couldn't be bothered. He didn't know if they were really innocent, so he decided to wait until this incident was over.
"Hiss!"
When he reached the outside of the prison, Liu Zhenghai gasped. The entire prison was filled with corpses.
There were at least a hundred guards in the prison, but they were all killed by Ye Gucheng without a sound.
Such strength was simply terrifying. Even the legendary valiant generals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qin Qiong, Luo Cheng, and the others, were not comparable, right? (The Sui and Tang dynasties, not official history)
