The cooperation between Nanliang and Tianxiahui has always been between Hua Yiyi and Li Jiye.
There are only three masters known to the world, and Hua Yiyi is one of them, with the strongest ability to run a business.
When Li Chengdao incorporated Tianxiahui, he naturally wanted to take Hua Yiyi under his wing.
"Hua Yiyi was still there during the war, but then she suddenly disappeared. She may have been hiding."
"Maybe he was injured during the battle and won't see anyone for a while."
Xuanjizi thought that Hua Yiyi was injured and was hiding, but he never expected that Hua Yiyi and Xiang Nanchun would fly away and leave Tianxiahui.
"Okay, we must find Hua Yiyi. This person is good at running chambers of commerce." .??.
"After finding her, I put her in charge of Daliang's business. There is no need for the Dragon Gang to exist."
Li Chengdao originally supported the development of the Dragon Gang just to suppress the Tianxiahui.
Now that the Tianxiahui has been acquired, the Dragon Gang is a competitor.
Li Chengdao naturally wanted to suppress the Dragon Gang.
Xuanjizi nodded and said: "I will definitely look for you."
Li Chengdao said: "We have worked hard tonight, Taoist Master, so please go and have a rest."
Xuanjizi exited the imperial study and returned to Xuanji Temple to rest.
Returning to Xuanji Temple, after entering the door, two maids and a eunuch came over to help Xuanjizi take off his shoes and change his clothes.
"Are you new here?"
Xuanjizi has never met these three people.
The three of them bowed and said, "Go back to the Taoist priest, we were sent by the chief steward and we just arrived today."
The servants in Xuanji Temple are all palace maids and eunuchs. Xuanjizi's disciples all practice in Cangxuan Mountain, and Xuanjizi returns to the mountain occasionally.
Li Chengdao did this to monitor Xuan Jizi.
Of course Xuan Jizi knew what Li Chengdao was thinking and cooperated with Li Chengdao's surveillance.
The maids and eunuchs of Xuanjiguan are not the same people, and they are often replaced to prevent these people from being bribed by Xuanjizi.
Li Chengdao is such a person, he is very suspicious, and he does not completely trust even Xuan Jizi.
"Oh, what are your names."
Xuanjizi sat down and talked like a spring breeze.
< br> Xuanjizi's status in the palace is the same as that of princes and princesses, surpassing concubines.
With such a status, he treated the palace maids and eunuchs very kindly.
The three of them felt flattered.
"My slave is fragrant and clever."
"Slave Cuiyan."
"Slave Niu San."
Three people reported their names.
Xuanjizi smiled kindly and asked: "Which palace is it from?"
The three of them replied: "Reply to the Taoist priest, we are all from Concubine Tu's place."
Xuanjizi's eyes moved slightly, and he repeated again: "Xiangqiao and Cuiyan are both good names, but your Niu San is a bit vulgar. Pindao will help you change it. Just call it Niu Jin. I hope you can be promoted step by step in the future.
Be a steward."
Xuanjizi helped Niu San change his name, and Niu San bowed gratefully: "I would like to thank the Taoist Master for giving me the name."
Xuanjizi said with a smile: "Okay, I am a poor Taoist monk, there is no such thing as a master or a slave."
"In this Xuanzhiguan, everyone is the same, please be casual."
"Bring me some food and prepare more. Let's eat together."
Xuanjizi wanted to have dinner with him, which surprised them.
"No way, Taoist priest, we are slaves."
Xuanjizi said slightly angrily: "What did you just say? This is Xuanji Temple. I am not a master, and you are not slaves."
"Go ahead and prepare for four people to eat together."
The three of them happily obeyed.
Not long after, the food was ready, and Xuanjizi actually ate at the same table with them.
It was the first time for the three of them to receive such treatment, and they all praised Xuanjizi for his high moral character and lack of airs like a master.
Shortly after Xuanjizi left, Yu Ziming, Minister of the Ministry of War, arrived at the imperial study.
Yu Ziming also participated in the war just now, but he was a civil servant and did not fight in the battle.
"The humble minister Yu Ziming pays homage to the emperor.
superior."
Yu Ziming bowed respectfully.
Li Chengdao saw that Yu Ziming was still wearing armor, his face was covered with dust, and there were wounds pierced by arrows in the armor on his chest.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yu Shangshu."
Li Chengdao pointed to the chair, and Yu Ziming bowed and said, "I don't dare to say it's hard work when it's my job."
Yu Ziming sat down and Li Chengdao said: "Long Chengen's trick has succeeded this time. I'm worried that he will attack Nanliang in large numbers to demonstrate."
"You immediately contact Qiu Kuohai, Hu Feiyang and others to strengthen frontline security." .??.
"In addition, the threat from the Tianxiahui has been eliminated. Reorganize the army and the Forbidden Army in South Camp, leaving 20,000 people to guard the city, while the others go to the front line to prepare for war."
This battle eliminated the threat of Tianxiahui, and Li Chengdao could use all his strength to deal with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Yu Ziming bowed and said, "Wei ministers have received the decree."
Li Chengdao then said: "You can discuss with Honglu Temple again and send an envoy to Xixia tomorrow. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is a common enemy. Tell Shi Le that I want to form an alliance with him."
If Long Chen really cultivates to the Emperor Realm, then the national power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will skyrocket. Nanliang is no match for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and must join forces with Xixia.
In the past, the world would mediate, but now the two countries can only form an alliance.
Yu Ziming knew what Li Chengdao meant, so he stood up and worshiped: "Wei ministers accept the decree."
Li Chengdao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
Yu Ziming exited the imperial study and immediately returned to the Ministry of War to make arrangements.
The fire in the north of the city was extinguished, and peace returned to Jinling City.
Things in the palace have just begun.
Zhong Gui came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the inner treasury has indeed been stolen."
Li Chengdao asked calmly: "What did you steal?"
Li Chengdao was not surprised when he heard that the inner treasury had been stolen.
When Long Chen arrived at the inner treasury, it was normal to take some things.
The question is, what exactly did Long Chen take away?
Is there anything in the inner treasury that is worthy of Long Chen’s deep understanding? Sneaking into the palace at night to steal?
Zhong Gui made a list and presented it to Li Chengdao for review.
"These are lost things, all priceless treasures."
Everything in the inner treasury was recorded. Zhong Gui took out the records and compared them one by one. It took a long time and finally he made a list of thefts.
Li Chengdao read them one by one. After reading them, Li Chengdao asked: "That's it?"
Zhong Gui nodded and replied: "I compared it carefully, that's all!"
Li Chengdao threw the list on the case and sneered: "Long Cheng'en has a good eye for it. He only picks the most valuable things."
Zhong Gui echoed: "Anything this guy took away is worth more than a thousand gold."
Zhong Gui thought he was right, but Li Chengdao suddenly cursed: "Trash! Do you think Long Chengen sneaked into the inner treasury just to seek money?"
"He is the first King Wu of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Will he be short of money?"
"Long Chengen is a lecher, he is not a money-grubber!"
"If he sneaks into the harem and defiles the maids and concubines, I will believe him!"
"But you said that Long Chengen only entered the inner treasury to steal treasures, do you think I am an idiot!"
Li Chengdao was very angry today, and Zhong Gui was very ineffective in doing things. Li Chengdao finally broke out.
Zhong Gui was so frightened that he knelt down with a bang and his head kept hitting the floor, making a dull thud.
Li Chengdao leaned on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and said, "Let's check again! What is missing!"
Zhong Gui didn't dare to get up and hurriedly climbed out of the imperial study.
After climbing out of the imperial study, Zhong Gui climbed another hundred meters before slowly getting up.
Two eunuchs stepped forward to help Zhong Gui up, and found that Zhong Gui's forehead was split and bleeding, and his knees and palms were worn out.
"General Manager, let's go to Tai Hospital."
Zhong Gui cursed angrily in a low voice: "Do you want me to die? Why don't you go to the hospital? Go to the inner treasury quickly and find out what is missing!"
Zhong Gui took the eunuchs, maids, and the Secretary of Internal Affairs into the inner treasury to once again check what was missing.
