Chapter 163: The Empress of the Water Palace

4 updates arrived!
This Lady Song is the mother of the three princesses, so she will definitely not be so kind. She is also granted a title and a fief. Even a fifth-grade general who gets the fief in this county will burst into laughter, not to mention that she is only one.
A baron who has just crossed the threshold of the nobility.
"Well, this area is always controversial. Daozi County borders the Fire Orchid Kingdom. The Fire Orchid Kingdom used to say that this Daozi County belongs to them. It is not some bandits who have occupied Daozi County, but the regular army of the Huonan Kingdom.
What was taken away was taken away a few years ago. I heard that all the people in the Daozi County government office at that time were killed. There were also countless casualties among the county people. Now I ask you to lead thirty troops to take back Daozi County. Over there
There are five thousand elite soldiers from the Fire Orchid Kingdom stationed there.
Moreover, the border is defended by tens of thousands of soldiers led by fourth-grade generals. If you fight them with only thirty or so people, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg." Li Bei shook his head.
"Is this Lady Song simply asking my young master to die?" Mei Tieyan said angrily.
"This is almost the situation. Even if I don't ask you to die, I am deliberately tormenting you. For example, if you haven't been able to solve this problem, you will always have to fight guerrilla warfare in the neighboring counties of Daozi County. Then it will be delayed again and again, and the three-year period
Once it is over, the bet between Brother Tang and the third princess has come to an end, and everyone in the Tang family is filled with sorrow." Li Bei said.
"A woman's heart is the most poisonous! I finally realized it." Tang Chun gritted his teeth so hard.
"It's hard for Emperor Yu to come forward in this matter. It obviously smells like a conspiracy, right? He was afraid of ruining the reputation of the Holy Emperor, so he took a detour and let Empress Song issue the decree. It was reasonable and reasonable. The empress in the harem was considerate of the livelihood of the people of the dynasty.
"Li Bei said sarcastically.
"The facts cannot be changed, and there is no point in mourning. The plan for now is to try to clean up the county at will, and we must not let their conspiracy succeed." Tang Chun's eyes were firm.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang is so courageous. Yes, since there are people in the palace who want to make things difficult for us, we must have the courage to carry out this and take back the lost ground. What will happen to them?" Li Bei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Li. However, it's not us, it's me, Tang Chun. This matter has nothing to do with Brother Li." Tang Chun said.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. However, although Daozi County is in a bad situation now, the scenery in the county is quite good. Moreover, I have something to go back to Daozi County. We happened to be together on the way. Brother Tang will not connect
You won't even let a horse go for a ride, right?" Li Bei said with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Li, why are you doing this? I will probably die if I go to Daozixian County. You are a great poet and a celebrity in the dynasty, why bother getting involved." Tang Chun couldn't bear it.
"What are you afraid of? If you were afraid, I wouldn't call you Li Bei." Li Bei smiled lightly. Tang Chun really admired that guy's calmness.
"Okay, done!" Tang Chun clenched his fist.
"Actually, the situation is not as bad as we imagined. Daozi County was controlled by the Dayu Dynasty for a long time in the past. But in the past few hundred years, it has been in the hands of the Dynasty, and it was only lost for a few years.
Therefore, millions of people in Daozi County consider themselves to be subjects of the Dayu Dynasty and do not recognize the Huolan Kingdom. Therefore, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
As long as the banner of the dynasty is raised, once the first battle can be fought, there may be people from the county coming to join the army to serve the country and regain its lost power.
Moreover, I heard that there was a secret organization in Daozi County that had been leading some soldiers to fight against the Fire Orchid Army.
We will integrate these forces immediately after we get down, and then intensify training to form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible." Li Bei actually burst out with great enthusiasm.
"Brother Li, I feel that you are not a poet now, but a military strategist, a commander who can lead the army." Tang Chun said with a smile.
"It's just talk on paper. When it comes to real life, I'll be embarrassed," Li Bei said with a smile.
"By the way, Brother Li, recruiting soldiers and buying horses and silver is the most important thing, so money is a big issue. I think that since Empress Song wants to punish me, she will definitely not give me much money. As for this, I will go to the Admiral's Mansion the day after tomorrow to select soldiers.
It will become clearer." Tang Chun said.
"Brother Tang, you are right. Food and grass must be prepared before the soldiers and horses are used. Therefore, how to raise a large amount of money is very important. It is not a problem that can be solved with a few thousand taels. At least hundreds of thousands or even millions must be prepared.
It only takes two pieces of silver.
We can't fight an unprepared battle. This is starting from scratch. Let's do this. There are still three days left. I will go to buy calligraphy and paintings tomorrow.
Just by relying on my name, Li Bei, I can still make some small money back. Let's each find a way to make as much money as possible within three days," Li Bei said.
"But how could Brother Li be able to draw this painting at once?" Tang Chun frowned.
"Hahaha, don't worry about this. I have saved a few paintings. Now that I'm going back to work overtime, I can make a few together. I still have ten paintings and calligraphy. In total, one painting
Fifty taels of gold would be five hundred taels. Alas, the gap is still huge." Li Bei also frowned.
"Brother Li, we can't go the same way anymore. We have to find new ways to raise money," Tang Chun said.
"Oh, Brother Tang, please tell me if you have any new ideas?" Li Bei asked.
"If you go to your door and ask others to buy it, they will think that you need money, or they will definitely bargain for anything. By then, you probably won't even be able to sell fifty taels of gold.
Moreover, that would also discredit Brother Li. Because Brother Li used to regard gold as dirt. We chose to hold an auction in Taoyuan.
Let the news of the auction out first. You can ask Cai Qiang and others to help send a message to the princes and nobles. At that time, they will gather and bid by raising the price. The one with the highest price will get it. Moreover, several arrangements must be made.
A 'trust'." Tang Chun said.
"What is a 'trust'?" Li Bei became interested.
"That is to arrange a few people to deliberately raise the price. For example, you take out a calligraphy and painting with a minimum price of 50 taels of gold. If the price is not raised again, our 'trustee' will come out and shout 60 taels of gold. If no one comes out, another price will be paid.
Just call seventy taels for a request. Once you create an atmosphere like this, someone will definitely be fooled and follow the bidding. In the end, you will definitely be able to get a good price. For this request, Cai Qiang also asked Cai Qiang to arrange for a few friends he knows to come with him.
Do it." Tang Chun explained.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang is awesome, you can think of this method." Li Bei greatly praised, "This thing is easy to handle, I will immediately write a letter and send someone to the Marquis's Mansion. Cai Qiang has many friends, and they all
They are the rich sons of princes and marquises. These people are rich, so even if they want to make money, they will have to give them some face, right?"
"I'm afraid that Brother Li's paintings are too few, so I'll try to sell a few paintings with calligraphy. Also, I have some Yuan stones here and put them up for auction," Tang Chun said.
"This kind of middle-grade Yuan Stone given by the Emperor is very difficult to buy. Brother Tang, don't sell it. It's such a pity." Li Bei stopped him.
"What we need most now is money rather than Yuan Stone. If I can't even get past Daozi County, what's the use of keeping these Yuan Stones? Of course, I will keep a small part. Brother Li, I'll give it to you first.
Five, there are still some anyway. I know you are also good at martial arts." Tang Chun said.
"Oh, how did you know?" Li Bei was stunned and said with a smile.
"It wasn't Zhao, the purple-clad guard in that building, who noticed it at the time. He said that you were even more powerful than him. I guess the master who helped me break through by playing the piano while listening to the music was also Brother Li." Tang Chun.
smiled.
"It's not me." Li Bei shook his head.
"Don't hide it from Brother Li, we are brothers now." Tang Chun looked at him.
"It's really not me. Why did I lie to you?" Li Bei said with a serious look on his face.
"It wasn't you. It was just you, me and Miss Zhuo in the room at that time. Could it be Miss Zhuo? By the way, it must be her." Tang Chun said thoughtfully.
"How can a young woman keep her body clean if she doesn't have martial arts to defend herself?" Li Bei said.
"Yes." Tang Chun nodded. After the three of them returned to the inn, Li Bei immediately began to write in large letters, while Mei Tieyan mounted a horse and went to deliver letters everywhere, which was similar to how modern people post advertisements.
Tang Chun, on the other hand, put on a human skin mask and sneaked quietly to Tongyuan Temple, which was the meeting point agreed upon with Lord Yun. The monks in the temple had already prepared arrangements for Lord Yun, and Tang Chun went straight to the back hall.
Unexpectedly, there was an independent small building in the backyard of Tongyuan Temple. Tang Chun felt a different kind of energy as soon as he approached it.
Waves of powerful murderous intent shrouded the surroundings of the small building. At least, Tang Chun could feel that several of the murderous intent were warning killing intent erupted by innate masters. The man was shocked. He didn't know how many masters Yun Cong had just arranged to guard.
The surroundings are so heavily guarded. Could it be that the man from the palace came here in person?
Long Xiaotian still wore his straw hat and squatted cross-legged on the top of a rockery, looking down at everything around him. It was estimated that the surrounding area of ​​2 to 3 kilometers was under his control. Tang Chun vaguely felt that this person was probably Qi Gang.
A strong person.
Because, innate masters do not have such terrifying energy. This is because of Tang Chun's special eyes, even the arrows of the Emperor's Spirit will tremble slightly.
This is a natural reaction caused by the strong pressure brought by the Qigang realm and above. An innate Dzogchen master cannot make the arrow of the emperor's spirit tremble in the sky. Under Yun Conggang's guidance, Tang Chun entered the small
building.
A high-end sandalwood scent permeated the entire building. Tang Chun went up to the second floor. He found that a woman wearing a veil was sitting on a large chair at the top of the lobby on the second floor. Moreover, the woman was sitting in front of her.
There is a screen, and you can only vaguely see a few women inside.
Tang Chun opened his eyes and wanted to peek inside, but as soon as the Sky Eye approached the screen, he was stabbed back by a force of ice. Tang Chun suddenly felt his eyelids jump and quickly retracted the Sky Eye. He knew that there was a master or a high-end protective jade.
Fu was protecting the woman, and Tang Chun didn't dare to do anything again.
"Hmph, according to what you just did, you will be beheaded and executed. Tang Chun, do you know your guilt?" came the cold voice of the woman inside.
"I acknowledge my guilt. However, I am indeed curious and want to see how beautiful the empress is. Because I have always been curious about the emperor's eyes. Alas, my curiosity killed me. Please forgive me." Tang Chun quickly knelt down.
Chapter completed!
