Su Zhen stroked her chin, rolled her eyes, and smiled slyly: "We can't cause Yin Yuli to rebel, but we can take the opportunity to lead troops to kill Luo Qi."
"How's it going over there, General Xiao?"
"One hundred thousand Xiao family troops are stationed in Beirong. They cannot be exposed easily. We can only rely on Xiliang soldiers and horses. We will cooperate with them internally and externally. In the name of Qingjun side, we will lead our troops directly into Luoqi to help A Ye ascend the throne."
"A Ye?" Huo Ji said sourly: "When did you and my brother, the prince, become so close? Uh, don't think too much about it, I'm just complaining for my General Xiao."
Su Zhen glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and used spiritual skills to restore the man's face.
Yawning lightly, stretched out and jumped off the bed.
Standing in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, he quietly watched the morning light. The corners of his lips curled up slightly: "It's almost dawn. It's time for him to send someone to test."
As soon as Su Zhen finished speaking, the housekeeper of Huo Mansion knocked on the door.
‘Dong dong dong’
Su Zhen opened the door and smiled politely: "Butler, what's the matter?"
"Master Su, the emperor has sent someone to invite you and the general to enter the palace."
"Well, I understand, let's go down."
"Yes, I will resign, villain."
After the housekeeper left, Chihuang stayed in Huo Mansion as the general's wife.
Su Zhen and Huo Ji washed up and dressed before entering the palace.
After a major blood exchange last night, although He Liang's people were not completely eliminated, they were much cleaner than before.
The Xiliang Palace has thousands of years of history and a deep foundation. The buildings you hear and see are not only magnificent, but also exude an ancient charm.
Su Zhen did not pretend to be hurt. She wanted to make Yin Yuli doubt her. Only in this way would he become afraid of her.
They did not go to the imperial study, but instead came to the emperor's palace.
The Tai Chi Palace is decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and everything is luxurious.
Every few steps you can see the imperial guards patrolling. The eunuchs and maids lowered their heads and hurried in and out. When they saw them, they bowed respectfully.
Under the guidance of Eunuch Luo, the chief eunuch, they entered the main hall of Tai Chi Palace.
The two of them did not kneel down, but bowed and bowed.
"Your Majesty, Huo Ji, pays homage to the Emperor."
"Su Zhen meets the Emperor of Xiliang."
"Just be flat, there's no need to be polite."
Yin Yuli's voice was gentle, with a faint hint of weakness.
The two stood up and looked up at the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair. They saw him waving his hands and ordering all the eunuchs and maids to retreat.
"Do you two know why I called you to the palace?" Yin Yuli said while looking at Su Zhen.
Huo Ji said: "I heard on the road that an assassin entered the palace last night. Could it be that the emperor wanted me to hunt down the whereabouts of the assassin?"
When Yin Yuli heard this, there was a deep smile in his eyes, but there was doubt and confusion hidden in his eyes.
Last night, the assassin was forced to use both spiritual and magical spells before escaping, which shows that his skills are not profound.
But the two people in front of him showed no signs of injury. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
"Yes, I remember that when General Su was in Luo Qi, he was the fourth-rank Siwei Fuqing, in charge of the highest punishment in Luo Qi. I want to hand this matter over to King Zhongyi and General Su for investigation."
Su Zhen, always cheeky, responded with a smile: "Anyway, idleness is idle, so it would be better for Su to be respectful than to obey."
Yin Yuli's eyes wandered between the two of them, and he half-smiled but said, "I see that you are so familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding. I wonder when you met?"
"Of course we only met when Su went to Beirong alone." Su Zhen replied.
"General Su, I don't believe that you have nothing to gain from staying in Xiliang. You might as well tell me directly. What are your intentions?"
Su Zhen tilted her head and pursed her lips, raised her hand to touch her earlobe, her eyelids were drooped, and she did not respond directly: "It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that two people walk together in the continuous rain, but the sky does not rain on one person. Does the emperor know what it means?"
"Is it possible that one person is holding an umbrella and the other is not?"
"No."
"That is, if two people ride on the same horse, one of them will get his clothes soaked."
"No."
"Oh? Then tell me what you mean?"
"If the sky does not rain on one person, then both of them are wet by the rain. A benevolent person sees kindness, and a wise person sees wisdom. If the emperor only focuses on the Xiliang Kingdom, then he is really looking at the sky from the bottom of a well!"
Yin Yuli did not get angry when he heard this, but kept smiling: "General Su is an open-minded person, so just say it if you have anything to say."
"Has your Majesty ever heard of Jinxuan Tower?"
"Well, I have also heard about it. It is a new restaurant that has opened in Luoqi in recent months."
"Jinxuan is just a name. The industries involved are all about people's livelihood. The wealth created can expand the Xiliang treasury several times, but there is a prerequisite."
"explain."
"Open up the trade route between Xiliang and Luoqi."
Although Yin Yuli was young and looked sick and haggard, he still felt a sense of oppression all over his body.
"General Su has such great ambitions!"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to call me general. I am in Xiliang. Su has no official position and is just a businessman."
"Businessman? I have never seen a businessman as capable as you. Although I am interested in the wealth created by Jinxuan Tower, I am more curious about the weapons and skills used by Xiao Chuhong when they attacked my army.
The exploding black ball has something to do with you?"
"Nature has nothing to do with it."
Su Zhen lied without changing her expression, her face did not change, her heart did not beat, and her eyebrows curled up in laughter.
"Who designed it?"
"Secretary of Luo Qi Hubu, He Lan."
Su Zhen dragged He Lan into the water without any hesitation. Anyway, He Lan was in the limelight recently and was protected by the prince. Yueniang also sent many little demons to protect her secretly. She was not worried that Yin Yuli would attack He Lan.
"I heard that Xiao Chuhong and you are very good friends, so naturally you know the blueprints of weapons. If you are willing to draw the blueprints of those weapons, you can help me take over the entire continent. No matter what you want, I can give it to you.
"
Yin Yuli expressed his ambition without any secret.
"Your Majesty, Su said that I am a businessman and we are discussing business. Although I am at odds with Emperor Luo Qi, I am still a subject of Luo Qi. I am loyal to my country and my heart. Opening up business routes is
In order to be with all the people of Xuan Continent, it has nothing to do with government affairs."
Yin Yuli was silent for a long time, but he didn't get angry.
"How can I believe that you won't start a war in Xiliang under the guise of doing business?"
"If Su wanted to cause trouble, he would not have handed over half of the tiger talisman that controls He Liang's military power to the emperor. Why not, let's limit it to one month. Within one month, the emperor will hand over to us all the masters who know the art of mechanism.
, and no one is allowed to interfere. After one month, if we can convince the emperor, then the emperor must agree to allow all the shops under Jinxuanlou to pass smoothly in Xiliang. And in the name of the imperial court and the government, give permission
We issue reform measures."
"What reforms?"
Su Zhen took out a stack of folds from her sleeves and handed it to Yin Yuli's hand.
