Tibet

Chapter 537: Using force to win
Li Ye sent two soldiers to Chongyang Temple in Songshan Mountain with 300 taels of gold according to the map drawn by Li Mi.

Li Mi also changed into a Taoist robe, a new crown and new shoes. He was no longer as shabby as when he first arrived.

Dugu Xinyue did not reject Taoist priests. She asked the housekeeper to tidy up a small courtyard in the east courtyard guest room and arranged for a maid. Li Mi was finally able to settle down.

At this time, the housekeeper came over and handed a letter to Li Ye, "The letter was just sent by a young Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple. He has already left."

Li Ye took the letter and it was indeed written by Fei Long. He read it again and smiled at Li Bi: "There is a new situation. I would like to ask sir!"

Li Mi happily agreed to take people's money and eliminate disasters for them. The two sat down in Li Mi's study room in the small courtyard, and a little maid served them tea.

Li Ye smiled and said, "I wonder what my father told you about my situation?"

"Your father said that your official career was too smooth. He was very worried. He also said that you have many enemies and even the emperor is beginning to be dissatisfied with you."

Li Ye nodded, "I am indeed too smooth. All my problems stem from the same root. Sir, have you ever heard of Feilong?"

Li Mi smiled and said: "No one in Chang'an doesn't know him! I heard his Taoist name for a long time when I was a Hanlin scholar."

"If I say that he is the Supreme Emperor, will sir be surprised?"

Li Mi's eyes widened, "No way?"

Li Ye smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip slowly. Li Bi's face was full of doubts, "Really?"

Li Ye nodded, "For decades, he has been thinking about how to regain the throne. Although he is old, he is unwilling to accept it. Wang Zhongsi, Gao Xianzhi, Li Yu and I are all pawns on his chessboard. I once I thought he had ascended to heaven, but in fact, he is still alive and hiding in Xuandu Temple."

Li Miruo realized something, "Did he send the letter just now?"

"Exactly!"

Li Ye took out the letter and handed it to Li Mi. Li Mi read the letter and said with a smile: "He cares about you quite a lot, and he actually reminded you that Li Cong is planning to deal with you."

Li Ye sighed and said: "I am his backup chess piece. Hanzhong King Li Yu and Gao Xianzhi are his main chess pieces. Once his main chess piece is successful, it will be time to kill me. Now that Gao Xianzhi has not been reinstated, he doesn't want to My spare chess piece was destroyed, so he wrote this letter."

Li Mi thought for a moment and said, "Your father said that the emperor also wants to deal with you. Does it have anything to do with Feilong?"

Li Ye nodded, "I am the so-called successor of Feilong. Can the emperor not be afraid of me? He could still tolerate me before. I guess he also got the news that Feilong was not dead, so he took action immediately, first attacking Gao Xianzhi and deposing him. I was the next one to take over his post as the governor of Hexi Province, but since I took the greatest credit, he did not dare to dismiss me directly, so he asked Li Cong to take action against me."

"I understand!"

Li Mi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The emperor wants to deal with you and Feilong wants to kill you. Have you never thought that if Feilong and the emperor fight, you will become the third party they all want to win over?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "I have thought about it, but it is more complicated. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."

Li Mi laughed, "Rather than being cautious, it's better to say that you are timid. You don't even realize what your advantages are?"

Li Mi whispered a few words to Li Ye, and Li Ye nodded repeatedly. He is indeed an expert!A needle poked him in the eye, unlike Feilong, who actually taught himself how to dismantle the secret room?Too petty.

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "I may have to discuss it with the Dugu family. Dugu Lie is my father-in-law and my biggest backer and ally."

"Of course it's best to have allies!"

Li Mi said slowly: "You have to remember that the most brilliant thing is not the strategy, but the general trend. In the face of the general trend, any strategy will appear so weak."

After a pause, Li Mi smiled again: "But it's not enough to have general trends without detailed strategies. The two must be fully integrated to be invincible."

In the evening, Li Ye met Dugu Lie and Dugu Ming in Dugu Mansion. Both of them were very pleased that Li Ye had a national master-level figure like Li Mi as his staff. Li Mi and the others were very familiar with him and had been highly valued by the emperor. He was appointed as the imperial edict of the Imperial Academy, specializing in drafting edicts for the emperor. Later, he followed the prince and was equally highly regarded.

Li Ye added: "Li Mi suggested that I lead the army to retreat to Ganzhou and evacuate my wife and daughter. This way the initiative is in my hands. I can return to the river or Chang'an at any time as long as I want." "This is a good idea!"

Dugu Lie gave a thumbs up and praised: "I returned to my own battlefield and got rid of my passivity all of a sudden. Don't worry, we will take care of your parents. If the emperor dares to touch your parents, the Dugu family will fight him to the death!"

Li Ye was moved in his heart and bowed: "I'll leave it to my father-in-law!"

Dugu Ming next to him smiled slowly and said: "I will do the demolition of the secret room. You are responsible for opening the secret room. In addition, I will tell you another piece of information. Li Cong's 350 warriors are stationed at Tianqing Manor outside the city. Since I have done this , it’s better to do it all once and for all.”

Li Ye nodded silently. He suddenly realized that the nickname "Ksitigarbha Demon" was actually a good one. It was better to be feared than to be bullied.

He smiled and said: "I will definitely do it, but there is no rush."

At the first watch, Dugu Raoyang led fifty hidden-wing warriors and followed Li Ye to Taipingfang. The secret room still stood alone among the broken bricks and rubble.

In Feilong's letter to Li Ye, he told Li Ye a top-secret method to dismantle the secret room. This was also a backdoor left by the construction craftsmen.

Li Ye found the southwest corner of the secret room. The second brick from bottom to top was the bluestone. It was the fatal flaw of the entire secret room. As long as this bluestone was smashed, the entire secret room would collapse.

Dozens of warriors carried battering rams and slammed into the second bluestone, 'Bang! There was a muffled sound. Looking at the bluestone again, there were countless small cracks on it. There was indeed something wrong with this bluestone.

Immediately afterwards, the warrior hit the battering ram for the second time, and faintly heard the crack of breaking! 'Voice.

Li Ye shouted urgently: "Everyone, retreat quickly!"

Everyone retreated and stared at the bluestone. For a moment, with a bang, the bluestone was crushed to pieces, and then the entire secret room collapsed like dominoes.

The dust was flying, and everyone retreated. After a quarter of an hour, the dust dispersed, and the secret room had disappeared, leaving only a pile of bluestones on the ground.

Everyone worked together to move away the bluestone, the iron frame and the iron door, as well as the iron bars of the mechanism inside. In less than half an hour, the entire secret room was completely demolished, and no trace could be found. .

Li Ye watched silently as this stone house with countless secrets disappeared completely. He turned around and left quickly without any nostalgia.

Dismantling the secret room actually treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. Others cannot frame him in the secret room, but they can also frame him in his home.

Therefore, Li Mi is right to say that using troops to block and water to cover is too passive. The best way to fight is to build momentum and use momentum to deal with the situation.

Before dawn, Dugu Xinyue got into a boat with her sleeping child in her arms. There were more than twenty maids, maids, and housekeepers in the two boats behind.

Li Ye kissed his wife and children and said, "I'm going to see Gao Lishi this morning, and then I'll go out of the city to meet you."

Dugu Xinyue nodded, "Husband, be careful!"

"I'll be careful, we'll meet soon."

Li Ye waved his hand, and a dozen Dugu family warriors followed him on board, and the fleet set off slowly.

It is easy to be discovered by walking through the city gate. It is safest to take a boat. Go directly to Qujiang Pool, and then leave Chang'an from Qujiang Pool. This is the boat of the Dugu family, and the patrol soldiers on Qujiang Pool do not dare to investigate.

Li Ye then came to Yishanfang. The situation was very delicate now. Li Cong formed an alliance and formed a big net to deal with him. He had already set up the net and waited for the opportunity. The destruction of the secret room would mean that the situation was broken.

It is very likely that he will be arrested as soon as he enters the imperial city.

　After seeing a news item saying that [-] Jews were said to be going to Ukraine, Lao Gao immediately thought that the Khazarian Jews were going back to their homeland.

　　Isn't this the Khazarian Khanate's restoration plan to fight to the death of the last Ukrainian?
