Chapter 85 This is what he deserves
Wu De turned around and looked at Tai'an City, which was gradually receding behind him.
Amidst the silvery white, the gray Tai'an City is like a giant beast lying there, looking at the world.
I don’t know when this giant beast will grow four legs and wings, so that it can go to the world and soar into the sky.
Just like their city logo,
There is a little tiger sitting there waving its hands. It is a cute little tiger that everyone will find cute.
But what if this little tiger grew wings!
When a tiger grows two wings, it becomes a tiger!
That's a real beast.
This trip outside the customs made Wu De extremely uneasy.
Guan Nei is now surrounded by crises, and there are countless fires that can start a prairie fire burning outside the court's sight. It can still barely survive, but it is just because of the lack of a primer.
Once the right opportunity arises, a fire powerful enough to burn the world will sweep away everything.
The imperial court was not unwary of all this.
But so what?
I know there is a problem and I know where the problem is, but there is no solution to the problem.
I can only watch the situation worsen step by step.
Sometimes, in order to slow down the deterioration, we even have to deal with those who have exposed the problem openly without conscience.
If everyone is drunk, no matter how many problems there are, it won’t be a problem.
But what if everyone is drunk and you are sober?
In fact, the most disgusting ones are those who pretend to be drunk.
Those evil aristocratic families.
Overtly or covertly, they are pushing the situation towards an even more unpredictable place.
When the power of the central court was not strong enough to suppress the local area,
the wealthy families entrenched in various places began to become active.
What a pity. If General He Qiku had won the battle against Nanchu a few years ago, then the situation in Da Qin would be completely different now.
That was also the hardest struggle for the Qin court.
The final result was not very good, and General He Qiku finally took all the responsibility.
Wu De was ordered to conduct a secret investigation into the cause of this failure. The truth behind it made Wu De's back feel cold and his heart felt chilly.
The final investigation results were shelved, and it is hard to say whether there will be a chance to be made public in the future.
And the person who asked him to investigate this matter even asked him to keep this matter in his stomach forever.
This made Wu De feel very sad.
How sad and miserable for the general who is still under surveillance in Chang'an and is reviled by countless Chang'an people. Because the most casualties in this war were the Chang'an Forbidden Army, and these Forbidden Army basically came from Chang'an and the vicinity of Chang'an. One can imagine the pressure He Qiku is under now.
If this veteran general who had spent his whole life in the military knew the real reason for this failed war, would he vomit three liters of blood and die suddenly on the spot?
Not sure.
While investigating this matter, Wu De went to see He Qiku.
The old man with a stooped waist and a face full of wrinkles, what he did most every day was to review the battle, not sparing every detail.
Remembering the old man chattering to himself about the tiny mistakes on the battlefield that were not worth mentioning, Wu De's nose still feels sour when he thinks about it.
Can this empire be saved?
So many people want him to collapse.
Everyone wants to get the maximum benefit from his body and bite off the biggest piece of flesh when the empire collapses.
He Qigui didn't want the empire to collapse, because he was born in poverty and knew the suffering down there.
Wu De didn't want him to collapse, because he was an orphan and had been begging for food for several years. If his master hadn't discovered him, he might have died in that corner, so Wu De just wants the world to be peaceful. If the world is peaceful, it will be easier to fill his stomach even if he begs for food, right?
Linghuye was also one of the beasts that wanted to bite Da Qin's body, and he was also the most ferocious one.
Although the most ferocious at the beginning may not necessarily become the final winner.
But the most ferocious ones will definitely cause the greatest harm to this world.
When he first came out of the Pass and saw the heroic army outside the Pass, Wu De's heart was really shaken. The most capable fighter in Guan now is He Qiku's former subordinate Nanfang Zhenjun.
But compared with the border troops outside the pass, the Southern Town Army was still much inferior.
Wu De was actually quite desperate.
But now, hope was ignited in his heart.
At least, Linghuye will definitely not cause too much harm to Da Qin in the future.
No matter what the intentions of people like Li Dachui and Xiao Changche were, in fact, their rise did restrain Linghuye.
If they are not dealt with, it will be impossible for Linghuye to command the territory.
Judging from what Wu De has learned now, Linghuye is afraid that he has no chance to deal with these two people.
One of the crises in Da Qin was solved in this way, which made Wu De a little bit dumbfounded.
But no matter what method is used,
the ending is good in the end.
So, return to Chang'an as quickly as possible, report the situation here to the court, and then promote Xiao Changche so that he can legitimately compete with Linghu Yeming. This is indeed a clever move. For the court, this is the most ideal result.
"Wu Tixing, will you come to Tai'an City again in the future?" Luo Ying was also looking back at Tai'an City. Unlike his second uncle Luo Liang, whose eyes were full of nostalgia, his eyes were full of nostalgia. All eager.
The passionate yet ignorant young man is eager to enter this wonderful world full of variables.
"Probably, you won't come, right?" Wu De hesitated, "I have a lot of things to do, and outside the customs, it is really far away from Chang'an. Luo Ying, you come with me this time, for a short time I'm afraid it's impossible to come back. Will you miss home?"
"Of course I do!" Luo Ying said: "But wouldn't it be better for a good man to be able to make achievements and return home in glory? ? Wu Tixing, our Luo family is just a small family outside the customs. We run a small city with hundreds of families helping each other. We are often bullied. I will not let this happen again. Yes, I will definitely make the Luo family a famous family."
Wu De nodded, "Then I wish you success, but it is not easy to achieve this!"
"Go step by step, do it step by step!" Luo Ying laughed and said: "I am very young, I have time!"
Luo Liang on the side smiled and said to Wu De: "Wu Tixing, this kid is so young and so arrogant, don't be offended!"
"How could it be? When I first left home, I was very ambitious! Looking at him, it reminds me of when I was young!" Wu De said with a smile. "Let's go, time is tight, everyone will have to work hard along the way."
Everyone responded loudly.
In the city lord's palace, Zhou Zhi did not go to the streets to pay a fine today. Instead, he sat in a quiet room. There was nothing else in the quiet room except a portrait of a character hanging on the wall.
The door of the quiet room opened quietly, and Li Kaixin walked in, standing beside Zhou Zhi with his hands hanging down.
"Wu De and the others have left?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"Yes!" Li Kaixin nodded and said: "Luo Liang, Luo Ying and the others followed. The affairs within the customs presided over by Miss Qingyun have been officially launched. City Lord, we have also taken the first step towards return." "
Zhou Zhi stood up and stared at the picture of the lady on the wall: "Happy, Sledgehammer will use Wu De to investigate what happened twenty-five years ago. For Wu De, this is not a problem. It’s not a problem.”
“Young master is extremely smart. In fact, I think he already knows some things.” Li Kaixin said: “Young master is already twenty-five years old. I think he can understand. "
Zhou Zhi shook his head: "When you don't have enough strength, knowing the truth of that year is a burden. It's better to be a horse bandit happily! "
"Do you really have to wait until the young master becomes the king of Guanwai before you tell him those things?" Li Kaixin said.
"Yes." Zhou Zhi said.
"But where is Wu De?"
"I will go see him!" Zhou Zhiyi said with a smile: "He can check, he can know the truth back then, and maybe this can also help Wu De has truly become ours. But he can't let it out now. I think my face can still be used by him."
"That's natural!" Li happily laughed.
Zhou Zhi stared at the pictures of ladies on the wall and said softly: "Don't worry, Sledgehammer has achieved a certain level of strength now, and he is smart, capable, and wise. He always makes decisions before taking action. He is not reckless. It seems that he has inherited your advantages and is much better than his useless father. I see hope of successful revenge in him."
After a pause, Zhou Zhi continued: "Back then, you told me that you only wanted your children to grow up happily, live a peaceful life, and live a mediocre life. But how could your child be a What about such a person? Even without my help, he will still be unwilling to be lonely and will still stand out."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhi remembered when Li Dachui was fifteen years old. He went to the wilderness to start a business, but when the child took out the thick Tai'an City Development Plan before leaving, he was shocked in his heart.
"Your child is destined to be extraordinary and destined to do a great career, so I will help him get what he deserves." Zhou Zhi showed a bright smile on his face: "Then it was supposed to be this child. Sledgehammer is not as indecisive and soft-hearted as his father. This child is hard when he should be hard and soft when he should be soft. He is the material for great things."
A breeze came from nowhere, and the pictures of ladies on the wall began to tremble, as if the woman on the wall was laughing.
