There were three people sitting in the living room of the palace.
A middle-aged woman, wearing a pomegranate skirt, with her hair tied into a bun, and a little plum blossom makeup on her eyebrows, is none other than Hua Yiyi, the host of Fuyuan Building.
Sitting opposite were two men, both around fifty years old. One was short in stature, with a tumor on his forehead as big as a pigeon egg, with thin hair. This man was Wu Yue, the third elder of Tianxiahui.
The other one is tall, muscular, with a mustache and slender eyes. This person is Zuo Si, the fourth elder of Tianxiahui.
Li Jiye walked into the living room, sweating profusely and with an ugly face, and said to the three of them: "I have asked my father for instructions. He is busy and cannot meet with you today."
Hua Yiyi's expression changed slightly, while Wu Yue and Zuo Si even sneered.
"Has His Highness informed the superiors that all of us in the world will be willing to fully support the Daliang battle?"
Hua Yiyi felt very strange, why did Li Chengdao reject her?
Li Jiye said apologetically: "My father has been busy with government affairs recently and cannot be free today. I will go to ask for instructions tomorrow."
Li Jiye wanted to ask for instructions just now, saying that the world would be willing to fully support the war, but he was afraid that Li Chengdao would get angry.
Of the four eldest princes, Li Jiye is the only one left with great achievements, but he is not liked by Li Chengdao. He is now walking on thin ice and does not dare to disobey the Holy Will.
"It seems that the superiors are confident enough and don't need help from our Tianxiahui."
The third elder Wu Yue put down the tea cup, stood up and walked out. The fourth elder Zuo Si followed behind him and said: "Master Hua, if others don't buy it, why do you have to sell it by force?"
Hua Yiyi watched the two elders walking out. She couldn't bear to lose face and said: "I wish the beam flags to fly and win."
The three of them left the palace and took the sedan back to Fuyuan Tower.
The streets of Jinling City were very lively, with vendors coming and going. Hua Yiyi opened the curtain and saw many vendors wearing red clothes coming and going.
After putting down the curtain, Hua Yiyi looked bad and closed her eyes to think about something.
Returning to Fuyuan Building and entering the backyard, the three of them got off the sedan and went into the room to sit down.
The third elder, Wu Yue, sneered: "Master Hua, it seems that Li Chengdao still looks down on you, Fuyuan Tower."
Hua Yiyi smiled and said: "I am just the poster of Tianxiahui. He looks down on me. Hua Yiyi is fine, and I have no face."
The four major elders of the Tianxiahui have high status. Even though Hua Yiyi is the owner of the building, she does not dare to talk back to the elders.
Although he didn't talk back on the surface, he made it very clear in his words that Li Chengdao was not denying Hua Yiyi face, but rather denying face to the world.
It was not Hua Yiyi who was embarrassed, but Tianxiahui, and the two elders were equally embarrassed.
Wu Yue naturally understood the meaning of the words and drank tea depressedly.
Zuo Si, the fourth elder, said coldly: "That's all, I will report this matter to the president and let him make a decision."
"I originally wanted to help Nanliang deal with Dongzhou, but I was disappointed. When in the world will I ever make such a fool of myself?"
The imperial courts of various countries have always been begging for the support of the World Council, but today they took the initiative to come and were rejected!
As the elder of Tianxiahui, Zuo Si also has a temper.
Hua Yiyi nodded and said: "I'm sorry to trouble the fourth elder. It's not that I don't try my best. Li Chengdao is too arrogant and can't even meet in person. Cooperation is out of the question."
Zuo Sim immediately revised a letter and sent it to the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
....
Eastern Zhou Dynasty, capital.
In the Wangqing Pavilion in Rouge Lane, Ya'er entered the room holding a small bottle, and the half-fairy lady was reading the secret report.
"Madam, the Bingqing Pill is ready."
Ya'er was swinging the bottle around, looking very happy.
"Madam, let me give you this Bingqing Dan. I am familiar with him."
Ya'er watched eagerly, wondering how much money she could collect.
"Niu Yang, I have arrived in the capital in my senior year."
The half-fairy lady put down the secret report and frowned in thought.
"Huh? Are those two old immortals here?"
Ya'er accepted the bottle, looking very disgusted.
Niu Yang is the first elder of Tianxiahui, and Gao Nian is the second elder. These two people are very skilled in martial arts and usually don't take action.
"Does he want to fight the empress? Or is it because he was seriously injured and needs two elders to suppress the situation?"
The half-immortal lady has been thinking about how Long Chen and Ji Ba would fight to the death.
Ji Ba sneak attacked Long Chen and Long Chen was seriously injured.
According to Long Chen's character of revenge, there is no way this matter can be done.
As for Ji Ba, now that he has taken action, he will not let it go, especially since he has suffered a big loss.
But if Tianxiahui really takes action against the empress, the losses will definitely be heavy. Emperor Zun is not a joke. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is very united now.
So, how will this matter end in the end?
How can I profit from it?
"Madam, actually I don't think it matters what that turtle thinks, we just need to pull Long Chen over. Long Chen is so smart, he has a way."
Ya'er is very optimistic about Long Chen.
The half-fairy lady glanced at Ya'er and coldly snorted: "Sooner or later, you will be abducted by Long Chen."
Ya'er swore: "Ya'er will only follow my wife and will never run away with anyone, not even Long Chen."
The half-immortal lady thought for a moment and said, "That's right, how is Long Chen's side?"
Ya'er shook her head and said, "I don't know. A bunch of medicinal materials are sent in every day, so there's no way to know what's going on inside."
The hospital was sealed off, and Di Waner led troops to guard outside the ward. No one was allowed to reveal the situation inside, not even Ya'er.
"Then you can't send the Ice Clear Pill in either."
The half-fairy lady took the small bottle, weighed it in her hand, frowned, and said coldly: "Did you use ice worms?"
Ya'er said with a smile: "I used half of it."
The half-immortal lady cursed in distress: "Ice insects are so expensive, and yet you are trying to make a fool of yourself for Long Chen!"
Ya'er chuckled and said, "Don't be so stingy, Madam. Long Chen is the key to the matter. If he can't get better, Madam won't be able to do anything."
The half-fairy lady said with pain: "You have to use the whole ice worm to get the best effect. You are really wasting it."
Ya'er nodded and said, "I know, so I used a whole one."
Well...
The half-fairy lady stepped forward, lifted Ya'er and pressed her on the table, lifted up her skirt, and spanked her little buttocks.
"I gave you a few gold coins and ate them inside and out. Do you know how expensive ice worms are! You gave me a whole one!"
An ice worm costs three thousand gold coins, and this elixir cost almost ten thousand gold coins. The half-immortal lady couldn't help but feel distressed.
Ya'er was beaten until she screamed and shouted: "Madam, spare your life, I am also doing it for your great cause, I will make Long Chen pay back the money, I will definitely pay it back!"
The spanking turned red before the half-fairy lady stopped.
Ya'er pulled up her pants, straightened her skirt, grabbed the bottle and ran away.
....
Gongsun Mansion.
In the alchemy room, Gongsun Yun had messy white hair, black ash embedded in the wrinkles on his face, some burnt beard, bags under his eyes, and he looked very tired.
Gongsun Linglong was covered in sweat and pulled the blast furnace hard. The alchemy furnace was burned red, and she felt a bit like Taishang Laojun refining elixirs.
"Add more fire and it will be ready soon!"
Gongsun Yun shouted.
Gongsun Linglong pulled hard, and the fire became more intense. It burned for another half an hour. Gongsun Yun picked up an iron bar and pried open the top cover of the alchemy furnace, and the flames inside rose up.
"ice!"
Gongsun Yun shouted.
Gongsun Linglong lost the blast furnace and turned around to open an iron box. Inside was ice cut into cubes.
Gongsun Linglong lifted the iron box and poured all the ice cubes inside.
Sizzling...
A stream of steam evaporated, the alchemy furnace quickly cooled down, and the room was filled with steam.
"Grandpa, is the elixir ready?"
"It's done!"
The door of the alchemy furnace opened and steam rushed out. Gongsun Yun and Gongsun Linglong came out. Their clothes were dirty and their hair was messy.
Especially Gongsun Yun, he feels much older.
The housekeeper and Zhao Heng were waiting at the door. When they saw the two people coming out, the housekeeper said distressedly: "Master, please rest quickly!"
Gongsun Yun said to Gongsun Linglong: "Send to Tai Hospital quickly! Go quickly!"
Not caring about changing clothes, Gongsun Linglong hid the elixir on her body, took a horse and went to the Imperial Hospital.
Watching Gongsun Linglong go out, Gongsun Yun leaned on the chair and sat down, and Zhao Heng immediately brought tea over.
After drinking a cup of tea, Gongsun Yun was extremely tired and asked with his eyes closed: "What's the situation now?"
The housekeeper said: "Master, go and sleep for a while first."
Gongsun Yun raised his hand slightly, and Zhao Heng reported: "The situation is very bad. Xixia sent two people, Kong Ji and Deshan, with 200,000 troops to attack Jade Buddha Pass. Fudo Ming Wang Shiming made trouble behind Jade Buddha Pass.
The Jade Buddha Pass is in danger."
"In Linjiang City, the young master has also received news that Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai are stationed outside the city with 400,000 troops. There have been several fierce battles in Caishi City, and the four princesses are having a hard time fighting."
"The capital side... is okay for the time being, but I heard that the World Council has been making arrangements, I'm afraid... it's not good either!"
"There is also news that... the Holy Spirit has gone to Linjiang City."
Gongsun Yun opened his eyes and said helplessly: "I'm old. If I'm still young...it depends on Long Chengen!"
The current situation is precarious. If it is not handled properly, the Zhou Dynasty is in danger of being destroyed, or at least its territory will be ceded.
"Master, go and rest first."
The housekeeper also knew that the situation was critical, but Gongsun Yun's body was even more exhausted.
