It's late summer and early autumn now, and it's still relatively cool in the morning and evening.
Long Chen was lying on the couch, looking at the leaves gradually becoming golden in color, holding Qing Meng in his hand.
When he was in Rouge Alley, Long Chen collected Qing Meng, redeemed himself, and settled in the city.
Later, Long Chen bought a small house outside the city and a few slaves to serve it.
Qing Meng settled down outside the city and lived the life of a rich young woman.
"Brother Chen, can you stay with me more?"
"It's been a long time since you came here."
Qing Meng wore a lavender bellyband and nestled in Long Chen's arms.
Qingmeng's figure is a little thin, and she looks like Xiaojiabiyu, with very delicate skin.
Her hair is slightly chestnut and her eyebrows are light.
Other than that, the whole body is very clean, and he is a white tiger.
Long Chen likes this kind of figure very much, he can bite her as he pleases.
"I will come over and accompany you when I have time."
Long Chen held Qing Meng, with one hand on top and one hand on bottom.
Qing Meng leaned her face sideways on Long Chen's chest, closed her eyes slightly, and a look of intoxication gradually appeared on her face.
There are too many things going on these days, and Long Chen doesn't have much time.
After dealing with the Tianxiahui, Long Chen is preparing to form a new army.
The size of the new army is planned to be about 10,000, with 5,000 musketeers and 5,000 artillery.
Due to the limitations of the times, Long Chen exhausted all methods to purify the gunpowder, and also transformed the gunpowder into granules.
However, the power is always limited and the desired effect cannot be achieved.
The power of the flintlock gun may be similar to that of the God's Arm Bow.
Of course, the armor-breaking effect may be better.
Therefore, Long Chen focused on the manufacture of artillery.
The impact force of the iron ball fired from the artillery is definitely better than that of the crossbow.
Especially when attacking a city, artillery should be an artifact.
These are plans and have not been implemented yet.
Long Chen is waiting for news from Xixia and Nanliang, as well as the next move of the Tianxiahui.
Long Chen felt very lucky to take action against Tianxiahui this time.
There are many masters in Tianxiahui, more than Long Chen expected.
But Ji Ba was too arrogant and almost defenseless.
As long as Ji Ba pays a little more attention, Long Chen's action will fail.
Long Chen often thought that he should be blessed by the halo of the protagonist.
"Um..."
Qingmeng snorted softly in her nose, and suddenly hugged Long Chen with all her strength, burying her head in her arms and her body trembling slightly.
Long Chen stopped thinking about anything else, hugged Qing Meng and started doing things.
...
Half an hour later, Qing Meng was lying on the pillow, with her bellyband only covering half of her face. Her hair was messy and her cheeks were slightly red, making her look even more charming.
Long Chen kissed her and said, "I'm going back first and will come back next time."
Qingmeng responded softly: "Come quickly..."
After getting dressed, I left the room. There were two old women and two young women working outside.
"master."
"Do your job well and take good care of your wife."
Long Chen gave each person a gold coin.
The four people accepted it and hurriedly thanked them: "Thank you very much, sir, for the reward."
These four people were bought by Long Chen, and they were slaves.
But Long Chen was very kind to them, and they knew it very well.
In other homes, scolding and beating would be commonplace, so how could he be so comfortable here?
Long Chen opened the door and slowly walked back to the capital.
Coming out of the house, not far to the east is Quanhu Lake.
While walking by the lake, Long Chen heard a burst of noise.
Passers-by by the lake pointed at a big boat on the lake and chatted:
"I heard that the scribes in the capital gathered together to compose poetry again."
"It seems so. Master Hongrui from Zhenfo Temple is also here."
"Master Hongrui has great literary talents. He has published several poems recently, all of which are excellent works."
"He is already known as a poet monk."
"I wonder whose poetry is better than Master Hongrui or King Wu?"
"It's hard to say. King Wu has been busy regenerating dead trees recently and has no time to write poems."
"I've also heard that the two princesses are asking for medicine to make King Wu grow again."
"Tell me, is it possible for King Wu to marry two princesses? I mean marrying them at the same time."
"It's impossible. Since ancient times, how could two princesses marry the same consort?"
"You are thinking too much. Princesses of the Zhou Dynasty never marry."
Long Chen listened to everyone's discussion and took another look at the boat, where he could vaguely see Hong Rui.
Long Chen smiled and slowly walked back to the capital.
The city is still lively and vendors are still doing business.
It’s just that there are far fewer carriages coming and going in the world.
The business recovery in Sifanglou was slow. Shen Wanjin didn't know how to do business, and I heard that it was a bit chaotic.
The Long Gang took the opportunity to steal a lot of business.
Long Chen sent Xu Ming to Sifanglou to urge him once, and told Shen Wanjin that if Sifanglou's business failed, the Ministry of Industry would supply the Long Gang.
The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has so many products every day that it cannot be sold until Shen Wanjin's sales start.
Shen Wanjin was very anxious and gathered all the available people.
I even went to Longshuai's Mansion to find Long Chen, hoping that it would be convenient for the Ministry of Industry.
Long Chen laughed and said he would talk to Xu Ming and ask Shen Wanjin to build the Sifang Building as soon as possible.
When I returned to Long Shuai's Mansion, I saw the three of them still chasing and fighting.
Xuanhui held a paper kite in her hand, while Hua'er and Xiaohu chased after her, giggling.
After Zou Cailiang returned to Anmu City, Long Chen asked him to send Xiaohu to Commander Long's Mansion.
Here, you can get to know more people from an early age and practice martial arts.
"Sister Hua'er, let me play with you."
The little tiger chased after him, Hua'er stopped and gave the paper kite to the little tiger to play with.
Long Chen did not disturb their play, walked into the backyard and entered the study.
Feng He got in through the window and sat next to Long Chen.
"How is it over there in Xixia?"
Long Chen poured a cup of tea and drank a cup himself.
Feng He said: "Xi Xia took action. Foyuan Tower was demolished, and other halls were also occupied by the army."
"The world will be completely destroyed by all the forces in Xixia."
"Kongji originally planned to cooperate with Tianxiahui, but Shi Haoran insisted on destroying Tianxiahui."
"In addition, Shi Le was extremely poor and needed money to replenish the national treasury, so Kong Ji's suggestion was not adopted."
Long Chen said: "Kong Ji is a monk after all, and he doesn't value money that much."
"Even if the temple has no money, believers will make offerings, at least they will have food to eat."
"Shi Le is different. He is the king of a country. He has no money and even his ministers are disobedient."
"So, we just need to start from Shi Le."
"If the power of the Tianxiahui is reduced to two out of three, it will no longer be able to achieve great things."
"Over at Nanliang, it will take some time for Ji Ba to recover from his injuries, and Li Chengdao may be able to clean up the world."
"But the final result should be to use it for your own use."
"Li Chengdao is not Shi Le. He is not short of money, so he can make the decision."
Li Chengdao is a man who must avenge himself. The world has plotted against him several times. Revenge is inevitable.
But Li Chengdao is not stupid, he knows that his biggest enemy now is Long Chen.
The world will be half dead, and it can be controlled and used for his own purposes.
Therefore, the final result is that both parties collude and work together.
Feng He asked: "Even if there is Li Chengdao's support in the world, it won't be a problem."
"The biggest obstacle has been cleared, what about our subsequent plans? What should I do?"
