Chapter 1751: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1751: Seeking Help from Meng Yunzheng
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow and listened as Qi Lie explained, "Didn't you already warn General Huang in advance and expose the traitor in his ranks? Since we know who the enemy is, let's outsmart them. We intentionally leak information that we're planning to act again at night."
The enemy revealed the plan to third Master Wu and his group. While they were still devising countermeasures, General Huang led his troops straight up the previous afternoon, catching the rebels off guard. Almost half of the rebels were killed or captured, marking a great victory.
"Is that true?" Shu Yu grew excited. No wonder Qi Lie's soldiers were so enthusiastic; winning their first battle would naturally be cause for excitement.
Qi Lie nodded, "I also managed to capture Chang Laosan and presented him directly to General Huang."
Chang Laosan? Shu Yu remembered him as Master Chang from the black market, responsible for tasks involving labor and human trafficking.
"What about Master Wu's group?"
Qi Lie squinted, "They're currently lying low and not coming out. They're widely dispersed, so for now, we can only call a temporary truce. General Huang is working on a solution. He said your method of individually dismantling the rebels in Chenggu County is effective and can be applied."
"If they're dispersed, won't they target ordinary people? When we were in the black market, it seemed they wanted to infiltrate the neighboring county but failed, right?"
Qi Lie shook his head, "With me here, they won't succeed. As for Chenggu County... " He sighed, "I'm sorry. My time in the black market was too short, and they acted suddenly. I happened to be out of the black market at that moment and couldn't stop them."
The most critical point was that there are two secret passages leading directly from Chenggu County to the black market. The magistrate of Chenggu County colluding with the black market was what caused this serious outcome.
But this time, since Qi Lie was aware and part of the action, he couldn't just stand by.
Furthermore, he knew General Huang would arrive in a few days. Delaying a bit would be enough.
Qi Lie caused some trouble for Master Wu and Chang Laosan, sowing discord between them. Naturally, their actions would be disrupted.
Qi Lie looked up and told Shu Yu, "Don't worry. The rebels are too busy to harass ordinary people right now. Their original goal is to buy time and keep General Huang in Changjin Prefecture. If they can take advantage of this opportunity to kill General Huang, that would be best. If not, they can at least keep him here temporarily and allow actions in the capital to proceed smoothly. However, this aligns with our intentions. Our current target is the Prefect Magistrate of Changjin Prefecture."
Shu Yu suddenly realized that they were getting rid of the malignant tumor that was the County magistrate of Chenggu County.
But that Prefect Magistrate was still firmly a fourth-rank official of the court.
Qi Lie continued, "My purpose in coming this time isn't just to deliver weapons. I also want to ask Meng Yunzheng for help in going to Changjin Prefecture. Where is he?"
"At home, resting." Shu Yu hesitated for a moment, "He hasn't slept for two days."
Qi Lie chuckled, "..." Showing concern for your own man so openly.
"Don't worry, we'll act later at night. We'll just have him come with us now and ensure he's well-fed before he starts working."
Shu Yu wasn't convinced; these people were overly immersed in their tasks. Just look at Xia Yi to see that. They wouldn't stop until they squeezed everything out of a person.
Qi Lie cleared his throat and tentatively asked, "How about you find someone to go to Meng's house and bring him over? We've already handed over the weapons, and it's time for us to leave."
