The shopkeeper smiled back and said, "I'm just following the landlord's instructions. You don't have to be polite. If you need anything, just give me your instructions."
Long Chen said: "Don't let anyone else in this courtyard, there are no other requirements."
The shopkeeper said, "No problem. Our people only bring food in twice in the morning and evening. They don't come in at other times."
Long Chen said: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper left the room, asked the waiter to bring food into the room, and then took the horse to the stable to feed it.
Bai Tingting sat down in the room and asked, "Sir, is it safe here?"
Long Chen said: "It should be safe. This is the territory of Tianxiahui. Do you know how Xifeng Town came to be?"
Bai Tingting shook her head. Before meeting Long Chen, her scope of activities was only in the capital, and she had no contact with the outside world.
Long Chen said: "Xifeng Town was established by Tianxiahui. In the past, there was only one inn here. Tianxiahui's goods were transferred here. Many businessmen gathered, and then there were inns, and then there were the people of the town."
"So, this town belongs to Tianxiahui and it is safe here."
Jing Tianlie's secret guards will definitely sneak in, but the world will definitely know which one is the secret guard. Long Chen is not worried about safety issues.
Hong Qi worshiped Long Chen as the God of Wealth and never wanted anything to happen to him.
Bai Tingting nodded and said: "I see, that's good."
Long Chen said: "Hurry up and take a rest. Take action as soon as you arrive."
Bai Tingting wanted to take a bath before going to bed, but there was only a bucket of water in the backyard and the weather was cold, so she couldn't take a bath.
After a simple wipe, Bai Tingting fell asleep.
Long Chen left the room and Feng He appeared in the yard.
"Did the people from the West Factory disperse?"
Feng He replied: "Throw it out. We have people in Xifeng Town and Jade Buddha Pass. This world will be really powerful. This area is all under their surveillance."
Feng He has strong reconnaissance ability. After two days here, he basically grasped the situation.
"You contact Li Chengtong for me first. I want to meet with him and have a good chat."
Feng He asked: "Would it be too risky?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "No, I'm sure."
Feng He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements."
Long Chen returned to the house, had something to eat and went to sleep.
....
Jade Buddha Pass.
Li Chengtong took three of the Murong family up to the city wall and looked at the Jade Buddha in the west. Outside the pass, there was a lot of yellow sand, and the west wind blew up, raising a cloud of dust.
"I have long heard that Xixia is desolate, which is different from my Daliang mountains and rivers, and it is true."
Murong Tai couldn't help but sigh.
Murong Sheng said: "Why can Xixia still establish a country in such a desolate place? It's hard to even drink water."
Li Chengtong said: "Xixia is desolate and bitterly cold, so the Xixia people have a tough character and are not afraid of death. In addition, they have good relations with the Northern Barbarians. They have fine war horses and very powerful cavalry. This is the foundation of their country."
Murong Lin looked at the school grounds to the east, where Jing Tianlie's new recruits were practicing.
The new soldiers wear Nanliang yellow clothes and armor, and their weapons are also in the style of Nanliang.
Li Chengdao deliberately gave such a thing to let everyone know that Jing Tianlie's troops had become Nanliang's.
Jing Tianlie also knew what Li Chengdao was thinking, he didn't care about appearances.
In sharp contrast to the yellow armor is the Red Flame Army. Their armor is fiery red with flame patterns and looks fierce and domineering.
"The Red Flame Army is indeed the elite."
Murong Lin praised.
Li Chengtong looked over and saw that the Red Flame Army on the campus was as powerful as a rainbow, and the generals under Jing Tianlie were all as fierce as tigers and wolves.
Li Chengtong sneered and said: "The trouble is within Xiao Qiang. Jing Tianlie is a fierce general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Long Chengen is full of tricks. A fight between these two people will be very interesting."
Murong Tai asked: "Who does His Highness the Crown Prince think can win?"
Li Chengtong said coldly: "It must be Jing Tianlie, Long Chengen must die, that's what the father means!"
In Li Chengtong's view, Li Chengdao's bottom line is that Long Chen must be killed.
After reaching this bottom line, it would be best for Jing Tianlie to send his troops eastward, attack Daughter City, force the empress to return for reinforcements, and then Li Chengdao seize Caishi City, Linjiang City and Diaoyu City.
He even took advantage of the fight between Jing Tianlie and the Empress to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in one go.
And the basis of all this is that Jing Tianlie won the war!
Murong Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill Long Chengen!"
Murong Tai said: "Long Chengen relied on the Yang Jing Stone to break through the Martial Emperor. In fact, his cultivation is only above the peak of the king. The four of us can attack him enough to kill him, so why rely on Jing Tianlie?"
Li Chengtong shook his head and said with a smile: "Jing Tianlie has 360,000 troops and Long Chengen has 200,000 troops. This fight can make the Eastern Zhou Dynasty suffer. We are not relying on Jing Tianlie, we are just using it."
Murongtai suddenly realized that he did not understand politics and could not understand these key points.
"Let's go back and wait for Long Chengen to come and die."
Li Chengtong took the three of them down the city wall and returned to their residence.
Not far away, Li Yuanying and Xie An were also watching Jing Tianlie training.
"Your Highness, a secret agent has come to report that the empress has appointed Long Chengen as the general to fight against rebellion, and has led an army of 200,000 to kill him."
"The empress herself took the fourth princess Luo Xi and led the troops to Linjiang Town to defend and confront the superiors."
Xie An had the Imperial City Division and was better informed than Li Chengtong, so he could receive news from both sides.
Li Yuanying nodded and said: "Long Chengen came with his troops, and the empress led the expedition in person. The troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all outside. If Jing Tianlie and Long Chengen both die in Jade Buddha Pass, 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty will fight at the same time.
If we die, Xixia will definitely break through the Jade Buddha Pass and point directly at the Daughter City."
"At that time, the general trend of the three-point world will change."
"Are our things ready?"
Li Yuanying's views were different from Li Chengtong's. He believed that Long Chen and Jing Tianlie should be allowed to die at the Jade Buddha Pass at the same time to weaken the national power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the greatest extent.
Xie An said: "Ready, make sure the portion is enough!"
Li Yuanying looked at the tiger-wolf-like Red Flame Army and said with a ferocious smile: "These people cannot live."
Xie An said: "Your Highness, I think we gave so much money and they all died in the end. Wouldn't it be too much of a loss for us?"
The money promised by Li Yuanying gradually arrived, and Jing Tianlie also accepted it.
It feels like such a pity to kill them all in the end after spending so much money.
Li Yuanying shook his head slightly and said: "You are not a gentleman if you are too petty, and you are not a husband if you are not poisonous! As long as Jing Tianlie acts according to my instructions and kills Long Chengen, and...that person, 5 million taels to help me ascend the throne, I will not
deficit!"
Xie An knew that Li Yuanying wanted to take advantage of the chaos at Yufo Pass to kill Li Chengtong and then seize the crown prince's position.
Of the four princes of Nanliang, the other two were useless, so Li Yuanying was the most suitable candidate.
Xie An looked back at the Jade Buddha and said, "Your Highness, I find it a little strange. Why is there no movement at all in Xixia?"
Civil strife broke out in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Jingtian Lie who resisted Xixia was about to be eradicated. This was an excellent opportunity to seize the Jade Buddha Pass.
But the strange thing is that Xixia didn't react at all.
Li Yuanying sneered and said: "You have forgotten Long Chengen's art of war. Soldiers are crafty. Who knows if Xixia has secret preparations?"
Xie An is right to think about it.
"Let's go back!"
Li Yuanying took Xie An back to the room.
Li Chengtong returned to his room, closed the door with his backhand, faced the closet, and sneered: "Friend, isn't it boring to hide in there?"
