Li Qingge was slightly surprised: "How do you know... Oh!"
She remembered that before General Manager Xiazhou left Shihuan City, she had asked the father and son if there were any bamboo tubes among Sun Fuping's relics.
It all happened a long time ago. This young man has a very kind and thoughtful memory, which is very different from the reckless and straightforward person he displays.
Yes, after leaving Manager He, he seemed to be less reckless. "Yes, that's it."
He Lingchuan thought for a while: "How do you know it is really in the hands of Nian Zanli and not taken away by Da Sima of Wuzhou?"
During the civil war in Yuan Dynasty, Grand Commander Ma Donghaoming took the lead in rebelling. Nian Zanli kept watching with troops until He Chunhua reported to the capital before taking action. However, they both had close ties with Sun Fuping.
"I went to Wuzhou and checked carefully, and it's not with Da Sima." Li Qingge was very sure, "And Nian Zanli used something like this when he threatened Songyang Mansion. So I can confirm that it is in the hands of Nian Zanli."
"He knows that he can use this thing to blackmail you, so how can he return it to you?" Li Qingge smiled bitterly: "That's the difficulty."
"I, Kannian Zanli, am not doing well in Lingxu City, so Sir, there is nothing I can do to control him?"
"I tried several times, but this guy is stubborn and won't return it even if I say anything. I'm afraid that if I push too hard, he will destroy the bamboo tube altogether. I can ask for help, but I can't be too picky about this.
Otherwise, it would be just a matter of chasing away tigers and devouring wolves..." She smiled bitterly, "After all, this is Lingxu City, not Yuan Kingdom, and I don't have the convenience of being a landlord." What she said was very clear, and it was not easy to ask other powerful people for help.
In order to prevent it from being easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
"Sir, are you so trusting of me?" Aren't you afraid that he would take the bamboo tube as his own? Li Qingge smiled gently and touchingly: "Young master is not that kind of person."
He Lingchuan also smiled and put away the inner armor: "When you come to Lingxu City to celebrate the New Year, what do you want?"
Li Qingge lent him the Purple Gold Pestle to deal with Bai Ziqi, and sent someone to send the Punishing Dragon Pillar to Wange Swamp for him. Therefore, he owed Li Qingge at least two favors to the bosses and had to pay them back.
"The Battle of Hanhe caused heavy casualties to him, and his plan to cooperate with Grand Sima Dong Haoming to attack Xiazhou failed. I think this has become a knot in his heart, and it has also caused Lingxu City to have a cold attitude towards him."
He Lingchuan nodded when he heard this.
He is no longer the boy who knew nothing about the Northern Demon Kingdom on the banks of the Han River a few months ago. Traveling around the Fan Demon Kingdom, and experiencing several near-death experiences, he has a deep understanding of Bejia, especially Lingxu.
With a better understanding of the city, it is no longer the smoke and mirrors of the past.
If He Chunhua could realize as clearly as he does at the beginning of the Nian Praising Ceremony, Lingxu City's attitude towards the Nian Praising Ceremony would probably have a huge strategic adjustment.
"In the past two months, Nian Zanli has spent a huge amount of money on Lingxu City, hoping to find some noble people to lobby the Demon Emperor."
"Is it effective?" He Lingchuan was very concerned.
"Yes, I heard a piece of news. He seems to have hired Imperial Master Qingyang to be his lobbyist."
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Qingyang Imperial Master? I remember that Nian Zanli asked Shuangye Imperial Master to allocate Yuanli before the Hanhe War. Why did he switch to Qingyang Imperial Master now?" "Perhaps it is because of the heavy losses in the Hanhe War?" Li
Qingge didn't speak too clearly, but He Lingchuan had already heard it clearly.
Hong Chenglue performed a New Year's Ceremony during the Battle of Hanhe, and Hong Chenglue was sent by Shuangye Imperial Master, so the Nian's Ceremony probably had a knot in his mind because of this.
"Did Imperial Master Qingyang say anything?"
"It seems that the emperor's attitude has relaxed a bit——"
He Lingchuan was stunned. The influence of the Qingyang Imperial Master was still great. Xiazhou of the Yuan Kingdom had just experienced the Battle of Hanhe. It was still undecided. Will it face another military disaster?
As a time traveler, he doesn't have deep feelings for Kite Country, but he doesn't want the people there to be in ruins.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingge continued: "However, the elixir case suddenly broke out at this time, and the Qingfu Temple also exploded. Although it has nothing to do with the Qing Palace on the surface, but...".
"But the clues secretly point to Qing Palace. The gods are angry, right?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "If the gods are displeased, the emperor probably can't consider Qingyang's opinion."
"Yes, so the plan for the annual tribute was put on hold. He spent so much money and found so many
Man, the result is nothing!"
He Lingchuan understood. No wonder he saw Nian Zanli at the Dunyuan sales fair, looking haggard and gloomy.
Daqing hits a wall here and there.
Unexpectedly, when he was investigating a case of elixir, he accidentally foiled Nian Zanli's plan to borrow troops.
It was originally a completely unrelated matter, but in the end it actually caught up with it.
Dad really should give him a banner, otherwise Bega’s iron hooves will soon set foot on the land of Yuan Kingdom Xiazhou. “If he wants to borrow someone from Bega to make a comeback, he will blackmail Songyang Mansion for money.
Contribute." Li Qingge put away his smile and said, "I like to travel around the world, but after all, I am still a member of the Yuan Kingdom. How can I cooperate with him in attacking my mother country?"
He Lingchuan lowered his eyes and secretly said something powerful.
Li Qingge only talked about himself, but he reminded He Lingchuan from beginning to end that the Yuan people should help the Yuan people. By helping Li Qingge get the bamboo tube back, he was helping his mother country avoid the scourge of war.
She held up the big hat, and it was difficult for He Lingchuan to refuse.
Li Qingge added: "Xiazhou is already weak. It has been tortured by the war for another year, and its vitality is still severely damaged and is far from recovering. Last time I passed by the suburb of Dunyu, I saw that people's livelihood is still difficult, and the elderly are over five years old.
She has lost all her teeth, but she can't even drink porridge." She shook her head, "If you can stop the New Year's praise here, you will be doing your father a great favor."
He Lingchuan solemnly said: "Leave aside the righteousness of family and country, Sir Alex has helped me several times, so I should repay this favor. However, I have just arrived here, and it has been less than ten days since I entered Lingxu City. Sir Sir, I really think I can help."
Are you busy?"
Favors come and go. Favors come and go. Favors come and go. The more favors are used, the more they become.
"The young master is now a close friend of the crown prince and the envoy of Chiyan. He is also famous for his elixir case and the bombing of the inn." Li Qingge bowed his head with his hand, "You see that Nian Zanli took the initiative to give you a gift, which shows that he thinks that
You are worth getting to know.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She leaned forward slightly towards He Lingchuan: "Did you know that the Scarlet Yan Demon King has a good relationship with Xuluo Kingdom?"
Xuluo Kingdom and Baoshu Kingdom both bordered Kite Kingdom.
"I don't know." He Lingchuan told the truth, "Three months ago, I couldn't even recite the name of Bejia's demon country. But I will do my best to pay tribute to this place." Li Qingge immediately stood up and bowed to him.
: "Young Master has great righteousness, I would like to thank you very much for Qing Ge."
"They are all Yuan people, what are you talking about?" He Lingchuan returned this sentence to her, "But I just arrived in Lingxu and I don't have enough manpower."
"If you need anything, young master, just ask." Li Qingge said softly, toasted him with a glass of wine, and then said, "Songyang Mansion also has several smart people in Lingxu City, and they all run three businesses here.
If you are over 10 years old, you can do whatever you want."
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty started running the business in Lingxu City a long time ago?"
"The first branch opened here five years ago."
"The situation is so fast." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I went to Dunyuan a few days ago, and the foggy mountain screen is so domineering." It is also very eye-catching. Guests coming and going have to take a second look, and the signature of Yangfu
and mark just in the lower left corner.
Can any small businessman or hawker advertise in General Golden Horn's Garden?
Lingxu City has developed for six hundred years, and the business ecosystem has probably solidified. Songyang Mansion can tear a small hole and get in in such a short time. Li Qingge is a woman with extraordinary skills.
She frowned, showing a little distress: "I have worked hard to achieve this, but it is not the right time. Nian Zanli needs to manage everything in Lingxu City, so he treats my place as a bank, and he comes to ask for money every now and then.
Want something."
He Lingchuan held a piece of pine nut fish fillet and chewed it carefully: "He only regards Songyang Mansion as a cash cow. He really underestimated the lordship."
In his opinion, Li Qingge's ability to make money was second to none.
Just give a random example: Songyang Mansion opened a branch in the capital of the Northern Demon Kingdom a few years ago. At that time, the relationship between the Yuan Kingdom and Bejia was already very bad. After all, Songyang Mansion was also the Taoist sect where the Yuan Kingdom started.
, Li Qingge is also a marquis of the Yuan Kingdom, so the two parties are doing business openly, and the Yuan Kingdom is letting it go.
But Li Qingge's husband was killed for collaborating with the enemy and treason.
No matter from which angle you look at it, she doesn't seem to be able to stay out of it.
people.
But she just did it. Songyang Mansion was not only unaffected, but its business grew and grew.
If it were any other ordinary businessman, his head would be broken many times.
He Lingchuan boldly guessed whether this woman had some agreement with Yuan Ting in private?
Li Qingge was not modest at all, and raised his slender eyebrows: "Nian Zanli has lived in Xunzhou for a long time and rarely returned to Shihuan. I guess he doesn't know much about Songyang Mansion or me. Sun Fuping didn't reveal much to him. At present,
He only extorted some money from me. But after he gets the bamboo tube, he will probably spend more effort to investigate. It will be troublesome in the future."
He Lingchuan said seriously: "Let me try something."
"By the way, you have to be careful, don't let Nian Zanli destroy the bamboo tube, or even let him remove the plug."
He Lingchuan nodded and said "Hello". He probably guessed what was in the bamboo tube.
"By the way, I have a newly made toy here. Would you like to try it out, sir?"
Toys? New toys to try?
He Lingchuan quickly put the strange thoughts to the back of his mind: "I want it, I want it." Li Qingge took out a small box: "This is a pursuit bee, you can tell its use just by the name, right?" The box is octagonal,
It looks like a pocket watch. The filigree pattern on the lid is in the shape of a bee. The whole thing is quaint and exquisite.
Since it was called "Chasing Bee," He Lingchuan thought that two little bees would fly out as soon as he opened the box, but it didn't.
Inside is something like a compass, with a sandalwood panel with scales and words on it. In the middle are two small needles, one long and one short.
Isn't this just...a compass? Although the box looks nice.
"Interesting, how to use it?" Li Qingge was a very particular person. Although he used favors to do things, he did not forget to give him some benefits.
She turned over the box, and He Lingchuan saw that there was a hidden compartment on the back of the box.
