Feng He brought a group of people to visit him, including two female spies who looked very light.
"Thank you for your hard work, you acted very well."
Long Chen got off the donkey's back, and the two female spies bowed to him: "Thank you for the compliment from King Wu."
Feng He was fiddling with something in his hand and asked, "Sir, how was this thing made?"
This is a simple projector made by Long Chen. It is a small box, equipped with a glass lens, and then cut into paper to look like a female ghost.
The light and shadow projected are of course very blurry, but it is enough to scare Zhu Yong and the others.
"You don't understand even if I tell you."
Long Chen patted his butt. It was uncomfortable to ride a donkey, it was too bumpy.
"Have you made arrangements for the other places?"
Long Chen was talking about several influential figures in Xixia, such as Wang Dashan and Madam Li.
Feng He replied: "Everything has been arranged and everything will be done according to your instructions."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Okay, let's go."
Long Chen put away his Taoist robe, took off his beard, and sat on the carriage heading west.
Feng He picked up the box given by Zhu Yong, opened it and saw that it was full of gold coins. He exclaimed in admiration: "Sir, I admire you for selling it to others, and others still pay for it."
Zhu Yong was obviously the one who was fooled, but in the end he was grateful and gave money to Long Chen. Feng He really admired him.
Long Chen sneered and said: "Nonsense, I spent so much effort to slay demons for him, shouldn't I charge some money?"
Feng He smiled and said: "Yes, everything you said is right."
"With so many gold coins, we have paid for our travel expenses, and we have also made some money."
The convoy traveled smoothly and soon arrived at Xingqing City.
This was the second time Long Chen saw the royal city of Xixia. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it was still the same.
The khaki city wall looks very desolate although there are trees around it.
Some people in the caravan had never been here before and looked at the city curiously.
"This damn place can actually build a capital city."
The spies felt that this place was too barren. Not only compared with Jinling, but also compared with the capital, Xingqing City was also far behind.
Long Chen said: "Not all land is fertile, most places in Xixia are barren."
"But the people raised in this barren place are very tough. If we just look at the quality of the soldiers, Xixia's individual soldiers are the strongest."
Feng He nodded and said: "Yes, Nanliang has a large land area, a large population, and well-equipped equipment."
"These Xixia people are taller than Nanliang. They can survive in a place like this and are better than us."
"But what's the use of being a strong soldier? If you pack a den of bears together, you'll be beaten to pieces by the adults."
Long Chen tutted and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you get here."
Feng He chuckled and said no more.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the royal city, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately stopped the carriage.
"Where are you from and what are you doing here?"
When the school captain who was guarding the gate saw the outsider, he immediately stopped him and questioned him.
Feng He laughed and replied: "Master Jun, we are merchants from Nanliang. We have brought some special products here to sell."
The soldier opened the carriage, looked at the goods inside, and immediately said: "Boss, here are the goods from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
The captain held down his waist knife and scolded: "You said you are a merchant from Nanliang, why are you loading goods from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"
The soldiers immediately surrounded the carriage and aimed their spears at the caravan.
Feng He said aggrievedly: "Oh Master, we are businessmen. We buy good things when we see them. Look below. That is Jinling silk. Take a look."
"We are really a caravan from Nanliang. Listen to my accent and this road guide."
Feng He and Long Chen were both from Nanliang, and there was no problem with their accents. They took out the road guide from their pockets and it was indeed from Nanliang.
Feng He had worked as a spy in the Shangguan Army, and forging Nanliang's seal was a piece of cake.
The captain looked at it, but he was still suspicious. Long Chen immediately grabbed a handful of gold coins from his pocket, stepped forward and held the captain's hand, and said with a smile: "Master, we are really from Nanliang, merchants from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty still dare to come here now
?”
"Master Jun has a keen eye and he will definitely be able to see it. We don't have to worry too much."
Seeing that Long Chen was so generous, the school captain immediately changed his expression and said, "Yes, the caravan from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has stopped coming a long time ago. You are friends of Nanliang at first glance."
"Let it go, let it go."
The situation in Xixia is now tense. All the money and food from the national treasury are shipped to the front line of Yangcheng. The defenders of Xingqing City have no money to support them, so they are thinking of ways to make money on their own.
This lieutenant was just using the topic to extort some money, but Long Chen was generous in his approach.
Once you get the money, let people in immediately.
After entering Xingqing City, it looked quite lively inside. The carriage walked towards the market in Xingqing City and passed by the Jiqing Inn last time.
The last time I came to Xingqing City to instigate rebellion against Mojie, Chaiyuguan and his friends lived here.
"Revisiting the old place will leave you with a special feeling in your heart."
Long Chen sat in the car and leisurely looked at the streets on both sides.
"I made a scene in Xingqing City last time. Aren't they on guard against me?"
Long Chen was a little curious. He felt that the defense of Xingqing City was average and he didn't see any spies.
Feng He said: "The situation in Yangcheng is tense, so all your energy should be over there."
"Besides, it has been some time since your last visit to Zhaoti Temple, so their memory may not be good."
Long Chen smiled and said: "It makes sense."
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the market, they saw a group of people gathered in front of a notice, and everyone was talking about it.
"Concubine Li is looking for a miracle doctor who can cure the damage to her appearance. If she is cured, she can be promoted to a noble title with a reward of ten thousand taels."
A literate old man read the notice loudly.
"Stop."
Feng He immediately stopped the carriage, and Long Chen squinted his eyes and looked over.
The notice was posted in the palace. Concubine Li Yan's appearance was damaged and she needed to find a miraculous doctor to heal her face.
That's probably what it means.
"Concubine Li is the most favored concubine, how could she be injured? Or her face?"
Long Chen felt a little strange. For women, the face is the most important part.
The competition in the harem is so fierce, if a concubine's face is hurt, she will definitely fall out of favor.
Moreover, the injury on Concubine Li's face must be quite serious, otherwise she wouldn't have put up a special notice to look for a miracle doctor.
"I heard that my face was shaved by the Queen."
said a good-hearted man on the roadside.
Long Chen asked in confusion: "The queen and the noble concubine started fighting?"
The busybody said proudly: "Foreigners, you don't understand. It is said that Concubine Li is very similar to Concubine Xia back then. The king favored her so much that she surpassed the queen in the limelight."
"It's okay for a noble concubine to be more popular than the queen, so the queen scratched Concubine Li's face."
This man spoke vividly, but Long Chen didn't believe it and continued to drive the carriage into the market.
This market originally belonged to Foyuan Tower of Tianxiahui, but now it is under the jurisdiction of Xixia Hubu.
Feng He found a stall, paid the money, received the receipt from the Pingzheng Department, and started selling things in the market.
Long Chen found the best inn in the market and stayed there, thinking about how to expose the scandal about the lewd monk of Zhaoti Temple.
The goal of this trip is very clear, which is to expose Qiuzitang's scandal to the world.
But how to achieve the best results requires Long Chen to think of a way.
Lying on the bed, Long Chen carefully thought about how to act
Squeak, the door opened, Feng He flashed into the room and closed the door again.
"Sir, do you remember the notice at the intersection just now?"
Feng He sat down with a smile, and Long Chen asked: "What's wrong?"
