Night.
Chang 'an was once again shrouded in dense fog.
And at this moment.
The night patrol soldiers of Chang 'an City were continuously passing through every corner of Chang' an City. Within Chang 'an City, apart from these people, there was no one else to be seen. .
But in the darkness.
Burly figures were rapidly shuttling out from every corner of Chang 'an University.
And then scattered in the darkness.
Yan Lai Restaurant.
At this moment, Yan Lai Restaurant was still brightly lit.
Due to Zhang Feng's actions at the meeting the day before yesterday, Yan Lai Restaurant's popularity had simply risen.
Usually, there were very few guests who could stay overnight. But now?
There was simply an endless stream of people.
There were no empty seats.
And that Yan Lai Restaurant's brothel keeper's mouth seemed to be fixed below her ears, not moving at all.
The night before yesterday, because of their ruckus, they had actually disturbed the Emperor. Yesterday, all the major brothels in Chang 'an had suffered a calamity, and Yan Lai Restaurant had also been severely punished by the Internal Servants Department.
But this did not affect Yan Lai Restaurant's popularity.
Why?
Because of that group of musicians that Zhang Feng had borrowed previously.
At this moment, Yan Lai Restaurant had been playing this song from morning till night. This had caused that group of musicians to suffer, playing the song that Zhang Feng had composed over and over again. Although it had greatly increased their popularity, and had even been directly booked for future performances by some wealthy families in Chang 'an City, but …
Their hands and mouths could not bear it!
But now, there was no other way.
Because the four great demon kings had returned!
If they did not serve these lords well, not to mention living, they would not even be able to take care of themselves!
In a compartment on the second floor of Yan Lai Restaurant.
Cheng Chumo and the rest had long been drunk from the compliments of a group of men and women. Even that Du Gou was already lying on the ground drunk.
At this moment, following the arrival of Yuchi Baolin and the rest, after whispering to Li Chengqian and the rest for a while, Li Chengqian gave a signal with his eyes. Cheng Chumo waved his hand and said, "Everyone!"
Instantly, the clamor in the entire Yan Lai Restaurant temporarily stopped.
Everyone upstairs and downstairs looked at the people on the second floor.
"Everyone, it's rare for us to leave the mountain today. I'm sure you don't know the purpose of our visit, right?"
Tonight, the Four Great Demon Kings had come out of seclusion to treat them.
Those invited to the banquet were all famous stubborn people in Chang 'an. More importantly, they were the disciples of the aristocratic families, as well as the children of the princes, dukes, and officials.
How could these people not know their identities?
At this time, seeing Cheng Chumo shouting, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, what happened to Brother Chen? We're all brothers. If we can help, we'll definitely help! "
"Yeah!"
"We are all brothers. What's the matter? Just tell me. We have some connections in Chang 'an City."
Seeing this, Li Chengqian exchanged a look with Cheng Chumo. Then he stood up and cupped his fists, saying, "Everyone, I presume you all know the recent situation in Chang 'an City?"
"Lack of iron?"
Someone asked hesitantly. ,
Li Chengqian nodded. "Yes! It's a lack of iron. Now, the dean of White Deer College is anxious day and night because the people can't plant in autumn. So, we want to do something. After all, you saw what happened last night. "
"However, I, Li Chengqian, promise you that if anyone can get iron, I'll buy it at the original price. I'll also give the person who sells the most iron a place to go to Chang 'an University! What do you think? "
In an instant.
All the stubborn people were in an uproar.
Who didn't want to make a name for themselves?
Previously, everyone thought that Chang 'an University and White Deer College were like the Five Snakes and Scorpions. But now, it was different. As Zhang Feng's reputation grew, more and more things happened. Now, as long as the students wore the uniforms of these two colleges, they could do whatever they wanted in Chang' an City!
How could they miss out on such a good thing?
But. ,
They also knew that this iron matter was serious.
They couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian secretly said, "As expected."
"Everyone, do you know that the plague of locusts and the food shortage have already hurt the foundation of the Tang Dynasty? Once the autumn planting is delayed, there will be a real food shortage next year. Not to mention the people, I'm afraid that the farmers in your fields will …"
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Although there weren't many stubborn people who received the invitation tonight.
But these were all people who had a say in Chang 'an. They knew more than the others.
At this time, seeing that Li Chengqian wanted to say something but stopped, someone couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Li, don't be so secretive. We've drunk together so many times. If we're brothers, just say it. We'll try our best to help. But I also have some fields. If there's a problem with the people's autumn planting this year, what will it have to do with us?"
"Good question!"
Li Chengqian sighed heavily and said, "Master Yuan Tiangang, you should be familiar with him, right?"
？？？
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Li Chengqian said again, "The night before yesterday, the dean of White Deer College and Master Yuan performed a ritual in the mansion to sense the heaven. This year's plague of locusts is just a test. There will be a more serious plague of locusts next year. Now, I don't need to say anything, right?"
"What?"
"There will be a plague of locusts!"
