Long Chen took the letter and opened it. There was only one line in it: Wintersweet Box in Guanxue Tower.
"Make wolfberry tea and drink it when I come back."
"Master, are you going out again? What if the princess comes?"
"Just say that I went out to visit a brothel."
"ah?"
Long Chen changed his clothes, put on a cloak and went out.
Go out from Longshuai Mansion, take a few detours, and then arrive at Guanxue Tower.
This building is in the south of the city. You can see the snow on Nanshan Mountain from the top floor. The scenery is very good, so it is called Snow Viewing Tower.
When Long Chen entered the building, the waiter came up to him and asked, "Does the guest have any reservations?"
Long Chen replied: "Wanmei box."
The waiter said enthusiastically: "Please come with me."
The business in the building is very good, and they are all literati, who look scholarly and elegant.
When we arrived on the fifth floor, the waiter said at the door: "This is the wintersweet box, guests please."
Long Chen entered the box and saw the fat assassin Ge Dongdong standing in front of the window.
The scars on my face and hands are still there, and I guess the wound on my butt didn’t heal well, so I don’t sit still.
"Where's the other one?"
Long Chen asked pretending to be surprised.
Ge Dongdong smiled helplessly: "You did it yourself, you ask me?"
Long Chen chuckled and said: "Originally I didn't plan to let you go, so I was a bit harsh."
Sitting on the chair, Long Chen asked with a smile: "Have you agreed to cooperate? You won't assassinate me here, right?"
Ge Dongdong had no intention of joking and said: "This Snow View Tower was built by the empress back then. How can we assassinate you here?"
"The host said we can do business, but the price must be according to ours."
The reason why Long Chen dared to come alone was because this place was the property of the imperial court and there was no problem with safety.
"I want to kill Li Wenji and ask a price."
Long Chen is concise and to the point, and doesn't talk nonsense.
"Fifty thousand gold!"
Ge Dongdong said lightly.
Long Chen looked at Ge Dongdong in surprise and asked: "Are you kidding me? My life is only 30,000 gold, and Li Wenji wants 50,000? Your Wanjin Building business is too bad, right?"
This price really shocked Long Chen. Li Wenji was a prince, but he was useless and not worth the price.
Ge Dongdong said coldly: "The price set by the master is not negotiable."
Long Chen was stunned for a long time, and then slowly said: "Okay, I'll give it to you, but you are not allowed to fail!"
Ge Dongdong laughed at himself: "It's hard to kill you, but it's easy to kill Li Wenji."
Long Chen asked: "How to give money?"
Ge Dongdong said: "Send the money to this place and wait for the news."
Ge Dongdong left a piece of paper and left.
Opening the paper, there was an address on it. Long Chen remembered it and then burned it.
After Ge Dongdong left the Snow View Tower, he got on a carriage and disappeared at the end of the street.
Long Chen left Guanxue Tower, went to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and found Duan Shuangshuang.
"General, why do you have time to come here? Is the last assassination okay?"
Duan Shuangshuang was very happy to see Long Chen.
Wearing a white dress, with an abacus in her hand, and no makeup on her face, she is a standard lady.
"I'm here to get some money."
"How many?"
"Fifty thousand gold, I need it now."
Duan Shuangshuang was surprised, this was too much...
However, the empress had given instructions in advance. If Long Chen asked for money, he would give it immediately and don’t ask anything else.
"General, later, I need some time."
Duan Shuangshuang prepared money, but not so much.
"Okay, I'll wait here."
Long Chen sat down, and Duan Shuangshuang immediately went to make arrangements.
It wasn't until midnight that all the money was ready.
Long Chen took the money and drove the carriage out of the city. When he arrived at a ruined temple on the roadside, he stopped the carriage and untied the rope. Long Chen rode back to the city and left the carriage behind.
Half an hour later, Ge Dongdong appeared in front of the ruined temple. Several people hitched the carriage and then pulled the carriage back to their nest.
Arriving at a Taoist temple, the carriage entered and Ge Dongdong entered the room.
"Owner, the money has arrived."
"How many?"
"Fifty thousand gold."
The iron gall in Shen Wanjin's hand suddenly stopped, and Heifeng next to him asked: "Fifty thousand gold? Not thirty thousand gold?"
Ge Dongdong slowly knelt down and bowed: "I made my own decision and raised the price to 50,000 gold. I forgive you."
Shen Wanjin narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "Why do you dare to ask for more?"
Ge Dongdong didn't dare to raise his head and replied: "Long Chengen's punishment was very harsh last time. My subordinates guessed that he hated Li Chengdao very much, so he raised the price."
Shen Wanjin's expression gradually became overjoyed, and he smiled and said, "You are a teachable talent. You have done well. I will give you one thousand gold pieces as a reward. Do your best!"
Ge Dongdong was overjoyed and said, "I will follow you to the death."
Shen Wanjin waved his hand and Ge Dongdong exited the room.
After closing the door, Heifeng said: "This Long Chengen is really rich."
Shen Wanjin chuckled and said: "I told you that he is a rich man. He will send people to kill Li Wenji immediately. We have to do things after receiving the money. As a businessman, the most important thing is credibility."
A head costs 50,000 gold, which is the highest price Shen Wanjin has ever paid. This business is very good.
"My subordinates will go make arrangements immediately."
Heifeng turned around and wanted to leave, but Shen Wanjin added: "Xiu Niang and Black Cat continue to search. I always feel that they are still alive."
"Subordinates take orders."
Black Wind will make arrangements immediately.
Ge Dongdong went outside and tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart. The scabs on his knees were bleeding, but he didn't care.
Long Chengen is so smart. Just give me some advice and let me make money for promotion. No wonder he can climb from an eunuch to a first-grade flying dragon general, he is a god!
....
Long Chen returned to Long Shuai's Mansion, Xiang Ning was still waiting.
"Sir, you are finally back. I was afraid that the princess would come to check."
Xiang Ning brought over the wolfberry tea.
Long Chen drank a bowl, hugged Xiang Ning and said with a smile: "You are so afraid that I will run away, why don't you guard me?"
Xiang Ning took the initiative, hugged Long Chen and said, "I think so too."
The two got into bed and slept.
....
Nanliang Jinling.
Xuanjizi walked into Nuange, and Li Chengdao was taking medicine.
He has selected many concubines to enter the palace. He has been a little tired recently, so he needs to take medicine.
"Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"The Taoist priest also treated me politely."
"The poor Taoist will just say it bluntly. Your Majesty already has many heirs, but they are just too young. There are also talents that can be made among them. Why... hurt your body like this..."
For older men, having too many concubines is also a form of suffering.
Li Chengdao put down the medicine jar and said, "I don't know, I just... feel upset."
"How's the situation at Wanjin Tower?"
Xuan Jizi said awkwardly: "They missed it. They lost a pavilion master and a fortune-seeker."
Li Chengdao was not angry, but asked in surprise: "Wanjin Tower will also fail?"
Xuan Jizi said helplessly: "Long Chengen is so weird, it seems that... he has a chance to bless him."
Xuanjizi actually wanted to say that it seemed to be blessed by destiny, but he couldn't say that.
At that time, Li Chengdao suspected that Long Ye corresponded to the prophecy that "the dragon will rise in the wild and the world will be unified", so he set out to frame him.
God's will can only be Li Chengdao's, and no one else is allowed to have it.
"I thought Wanjin Tower was always on target!"
Li Chengdao mocked.
Xuan Jizi said: "Wanjinlou will continue to assassinate until the target dies after receiving the money. The emperor does not have to worry, Long Chengen will die."
Li Chengdao shook his head and smiled: "It's not that easy. Who is Long Chengen? He is the son of destiny. He can't be killed no matter what."
Xuanjizi was stunned and speechless. Li Chengdao actually said that Long Chen was the son of destiny. This...
