In Chen Jue's tent,
There was a circle of people sitting around,
Everyone's expression was a little heavy.
Li Xiao finally helped Zhao Hu pass a cup of water. Zhao Hu quickly stood up to receive it,
His expression was very embarrassed.
"Sir,
The new Minister of Revenue is also a member of Peng Tao,
He approved another batch of grain for Peng Tao to go north.
After the new Minister of Revenue sent a letter to Peng Tao,
Ge Rong pressed that batch of grain in Baoding Manor. "Zhang Tang pursed his lips after he finished speaking.
Chen Jue nodded.
He understood that Peng Tao was about to lose his patience. He had done all the conciliatory measures that the capital could do,
But it was impossible to really transport the grain out.
Ge Rong placed the person that Peng Tao wanted to be the commander of the Nine Gates in the Nine Gates,
He also placed the person that Peng Tao wanted to be the Minister of Revenue in the Ministry of Revenue, but after all, it was a temporary measure.
Then..,
Ge Rong would take down these two people and their henchmen in the capital.
As for the matter of the grain being pressed in Baoding Manor..,
At most six days, at least four days..,
Peng Tao would know.
At that time..,
The first thing that Peng Tao did..,
Was to kill them in the military camp.
If Chen Jue resisted only after Peng Tao made a move..,
Then it would be too late.
He had to make a move first.
However..,
Xu Ting's people had not arrived yet,
It was unknown when they would arrive.
He knew..,
He could not wait any longer.
"The people around Peng Tao..,
Yuan Tong..,
Have you found out anything? "Chen Jue.
Zhang Tang shook his head, "I only said that he had always stood beside Peng Tao to protect his guards. He rarely spoke and did not have much contact with others. Most of the people who had seen him fight were dead.
I haven't been able to find anyone who knows more about Yuan Tong. "
"We can only try." Chen Jue sighed.
Wang Chao immediately stood up. "My lord, I am willing to test it out."
Chen Jue frowned and impatiently gestured with his hand. Then he looked at Li Ru. "I haven't had the time to thank Mr. Li for killing that stealthy general for me."
Li Ru remained seated and smiled indifferently. "Sir, there's no need to be so polite."
Although Chen Jue knew that Li Ru was Li Xiao's father, he didn't completely trust him. "May I ask how you found the Stealthy General and how you killed him?"
"…" Li Ru was silent for a moment. She glanced at Li Xiao before looking at Chen Jue.
Chen Jue looked straight into Li Ru's eyes. He didn't avoid them at all.
There were many things that they knew. This was a communication between men. There was no need for words or promises.
With just one look, everyone understood.
Li Ru finally looked at Li Xiao, smiled at the little girl, and finally said, "Although I can't see what kind of abilities those superpowered people have, I can see that among the ordinary people, some people have abilities, some people have awakened their abilities, and some people have not."
Chen Jue nodded. It was almost the same as what he had guessed.
"The Stealthy General wasn't hard to kill. He had the ability to go into hiding and was very confident in his ability to hide.
In addition, he had always kept a low profile. No one knew his true identity and very few people knew his importance.
Therefore, he had always been unguarded. "
Li Ru's voice was unhurried like a patient scholar. However, there was a rare certainty and calmness in his words.
"A woman and a child could easily kill him."
"Sir, do you know how many mutants Peng Tao has?" Chen Jue asked.
"Wei Yun Laodao is one, but from what I can see, that person's ability most likely has nothing to do with attacking," Li Ru said.
A person's behavior and personality would often be reflected in their temperament.
Some clues could be seen from Wei Yun Laodao's face.
"The dark-faced Xiao Tong beside Peng Tao is also one," Li Ru added.
Chen Jue frowned. This was a new piece of information.
"Yuan Tong is naturally one as well," Li Ru said.
"It's a pity that we can't see the direction of his ability, right?" Zhang Tang listened carefully and asked curiously.
Li Ru nodded.
Zhang Tang sighed helplessly.
However, his eyes were filled with admiration when he looked at Li Ru.
It turned out that the person who had raised a gentleman like Li Yu was a man like Mr. Li.
No wonder … When Zhang Tang saw Mister Li for the first time, he felt that this mister was not only knowledgeable, but also full of wisdom.
Most of the civil officials and strategists would sympathize with smart people.
Previously, Zhang Tang also liked Li Yu very much.
He was confident and calm. He was very gentlemanly.
"Is there anyone else?" Chen Jue asked.
Li Ru shook his head and hurriedly added, "I only took a quick glance today, so I couldn't see everything.
Before … I could only look from afar. It was difficult for me to get close. "
Chen Jue nodded.
He took a deep breath and said, "Today, I've killed two of his trump cards. The next few days will be very difficult for me.
In four days at the earliest, Peng Tao will catch us like turtles in a jar. If Xu Ting didn't bring the Western Garrison Army over, we wouldn't have a chance to win. "
Unless they could all transform into dragons, it was better to forget about it.
"We're going to make a move tonight. Once we enter the Northeast Barracks, we won't have a chance to test anything." Chen Jue looked around and sighed.
"Starting tomorrow, Peng Tao will imitate my methods and make a move on everyone in this tent one by one. They will take away the most important people around me.
When all of you are dead, I will become his prisoner. Then he will lead the army to the south.
Originally, he would make a move before winter. We have a chance to defeat him in the core area … and only one chance. "Chen Jue's tone was heavy.
The emperor sent him to the Northeast Barracks. He knew that this was a strange move, but the chances of success were very low.
The old emperor was already prepared for him to die in the northeast.
At this time, the most trustworthy person in the capital was the minister of Dali Monastery.
He looked at Wang Chao and ordered, "Go to the Sixth Barracks of Peng Tao and find Qiao Fang. Tell him to make a move tonight. He will meet you."
"Heir Qiao?" The heir of Jingbei Marquis?
The young man that Lord Chen sent to the Northeast Barracks to gain experience?
The Heir Qiao who coveted Li Xiao?
Wasn't that Lord Chen's rival in love?
"?" Chen Jue glared at Wang Chao.
Wang Chao hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir."
"Mm."
Chen Jue nodded and said to Ma Han, "Go to the west side of the barracks and observe. If you see sand and dust in the west, make a red noise."
"Yes, sir." Ma Han stood and replied with a solemn expression.
"Li Xiao, I want you to leave the Northeast Barracks tonight … Sir, take her with you." Chen Jue turned to look at Li Ru. He knew that Min Zhao could bring people with him as he pleased.
Li Xiao pursed her lips and looked at Chen Jue. After a moment of silence, she said, "I am willing to listen to everything you say."
Chen Jue stared at her round and large eyes for a while. Those eyes looked back at him with watery eyes, but there was no sadness. He didn't say anything else and just nodded.
Li Ru also nodded.
Chen Jue turned to Wang Yi and said, "Go kill Yuan Tong. Even if you can't kill him, delay him."
Wang Yi stood and replied, "Yes, sir."
Chen Jue took a deep breath and said, "Come with me to visit Peng Tao at night. Zhao Hu will follow me and act according to the situation."
Wang Yi and Zhao Hu acknowledged.
"The other Shadow Guard will be on standby at any time." Chen Jue looked at Zhang Long.
"Yes, sir." Zhang Long was in charge of the Shadow Guard and stood up.
"Sir, forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid you don't have enough people with this arrangement."
Li Ru shook his head. "Heir Qiao can delay the return of Peng Tao by a few battalions and help you suppress the chaos in the Northeast Barracks.
Wang Yi's ability to delay Yuan Tong is very risky.
Will Zhao Hu follow you to deal with Wei Yun Laodao and Heiyang? "
"…" Chen Jue pursed his lips. This was the only way.
"We still don't know Wei Yun Laodao and Heiyang's abilities." Li Ru's voice was heavy, causing everyone's heart to sink.
"Do you have any other ideas, sir?" Chen Jue asked in return.
"Tonight is our last battle. We should fight with all our might. There's no need to hold back. I can also use my full strength."
Li Ru pointed at Min Zhao. "Ah Zhao has the ability, but he's still young. He'll be so scared that he'll lose control of himself in a fight. That's why I can't let Ah Zhao fight. It's not only to protect him, but also to prevent him from being a hindrance to our plan."
Chen Jue nodded.
"I can tell if someone is an ability user, but I don't have any other way to fight. I won't be of much use tonight."
Li Ru suddenly turned to look at Zhang Tang. "But I have another ability. I can awaken an ability user who hasn't awakened yet. We still have one ability user in this tent."
Chen Jue raised his eyebrows. Mr. Li really could awaken other people's abilities …
In an instant, after the shock, everyone followed Li Ru's line of sight and looked over —
