After verifying the identity of the Secret Intelligence Division, a basket was slowly lowered from the palace wall and the person from the Secret Intelligence Division was hoisted up. Soon, several figures rushed into the palace.
As they hurried away, a eunuch turned around and asked the man, "His Majesty is already asleep. Are you sure this matter is urgent enough to wake His Majesty up now?"
The spy nodded and said, "His Majesty has ordered that as soon as there is news of County Marquis Li, we must report it immediately!"
"County Marquis Li?" The eunuch glanced at him and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go and report …"
After that, he quickly walked to a palace in front of him.
Before he reached the front of the palace, a voice came from the side, "Why disturb His Majesty so late at night?"
The eunuch turned around and hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Chief Steward Chang!"
Chang De said lightly, "His Majesty has just fallen asleep. If it's not urgent, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
The eunuch respectfully said, "Chief Steward Chang, the spy office has urgent news of County Marquis Li."
Chang De raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him wait here."
After that, he quickly took two steps and pushed the door into the main hall.
Not long after, lights were lit in the palace.
Emperor Jing put on a robe and paced in the hall. He read the letter in his hand several times and said, "The spy office will send 20 High Priests to bring him back to me unharmed. After arriving in Shuzhou, take over the soldiers of Shuzhou first so that it's easier to act. If there's any disobedience, you can kill him first and report later!"
"Yes, Your Majesty …" Chang De bowed and said.
Before the sky was bright, a group of people hurried out of the city with a token and went all the way to the west.
At the city gate, Chang De reined in his horse and said to a middle-aged Taoist in front of him, "Surnamed Yuan, this time, I'll leave County Marquis Li to you. His Majesty has an order to bring him back unharmed."
"I'll try my best."
The middle-aged Taoist raised his hand to salute, turned his head and said slowly, "Let's go."
As Li Xuan rode on his horse, he asked doubtfully, "Just the few of them? Can they do it?"
Changde turned his horse around and explained, "There's only one grandmaster. The rest of them are all below the level of grandmaster, and there are few who can match them. It's impossible to attack a city, but it's easy to take the head of the enemy's general amidst an army of tens of thousands. Besides, they have His Majesty's imperial edict in their hands. Wherever they go, they can temporarily mobilize five hundred soldiers. It's already very safe."
"It's been two months …" Li Xuan nodded, reined in his horse, and returned to the city.
Fifty li outside the capital, in a huge plaza.
Lu Luo stood on the platform and looked down at the crowd of nearly a hundred people and loudly said, "The journey to the Shu Province is long. Everyone, please be careful!"
Yangliuqing waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Watching the figures of the crowd gradually disappear, Lu Luo walked down from the high platform and said to the others, "Go back to your work."
This time, almost all the elites of the Liu League had come. Among the hundred people, any one of them would have a resounding name on the Hero Ranking. This kind of power was enough to sweep away any force in the martial arts world.
The Li family.
"Miss, let me go with them!" Lao Fang, who was carrying a bag on his back, said with determination.
Ruyi looked at him and said, "They've sent over a hundred masters this time. Nothing will go wrong."
Fang shook his head and said, "I lost the son-in-law. If I can't find him myself, I won't be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life."
A woman walked over and said, "Eldest Miss, just let him go …"
Ru Yi looked at Aunt Fang. After a moment, she nodded slightly.
A hint of excitement appeared on Fang's face. He said, "Don't worry, Miss. Once we find the son-in-law and Second Miss, we'll be back immediately!"
With that, he tightened the bag on his back, hugged his wife tightly, and dashed out without looking back.
The woman blushed. "This dead man …"
…
…
Life was always full of surprises. There were many unexpected things. No one knew what was going to happen in the next second.
Maybe it would be a hard slap to wake you up and teach you to be a good person.
Maybe it would be a big gift from the sky, the kind with a bow on the outside to tell you how beautiful the world was.
After being unlucky for so long, his luck had finally changed. It was time to celebrate.
He wrapped the freshly made milk candy with glutinous rice paper. When it cooled down, it could be eaten.
With this thing, Miss.Liu would be much more straightforward when she took the medicine. She didn't have to force herself every time. After a long time, the way she looked at him made Li Yi feel a little guilty.
Good things should be shared with everyone. He put some in the box that had just been dried and planned to give them to Lin Yong and Lin Wanru.
After Lin Yong threw a piece into his mouth, his eyes lit up. He asked, "Li Brothers, what is this? It's so delicious. Give me a few more!"
"These are all for you." Li Yi poured a small half of the contents of the box for him and said, "As for the rest, when your Miss comes over, let her have a taste."
Lin Yong waved his hand and said, "I have to look after the shop in the front. Miss is in the back. You can go by yourself."
He had been familiar with Li Yi for a long time, so he gradually spoke more casually.
"All right, all right. You look after the shop. I'll go by myself." Li Yi waved his hand and walked to the room in the backyard.
In the yard, he saw Lin Wanru writing something at the table. Li Yi knocked on the door and walked in. He put the box on the table and said, "I just made it. Try it."
Lin Wanru looked at him, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. She nodded slightly and asked, "Is Miss Liu feeling better?"
"Much better." Li Yi nodded. He saw the words "Bai Family" and "Xu Family" written on the paper in front of her. There seemed to be some numbers behind them. He thought of something and asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you solved the problem of the raw materials?"
Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "We haven't reached an agreement with the Xu Family and the Ma Family. Raising the price by 10% should be their first step. If we agree, I'm afraid they will immediately ask for more. As for the Bai Family … I'm just like them."
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Wanru said, "Find someone else to cooperate with. If Fanglin Park doesn't pick up the goods from the three families, the jewelry shops in Feng Province won't be able to handle the goods from the three families. When that time comes, they will be anxious."
Li Yi thought about it and said, "Speaking of this, I know a few friends who might be able to solve your problem."
Lin Wanru looked up at him and asked doubtfully, "You have friends in Feng Province?"
"I just met them." Li Yi looked at her and said, "I should have mentioned to you before that there is a country called Great Britain that is rich in colored glaze and has no shortage of jewelry. I happened to meet a few foreign businessmen from Great Britain yesterday. I'll help you ask if they have the goods and if they are willing to cooperate with you."
Lin Wanru stood up and looked at him. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "We're on the same side. It's what I should do."
…
Lin Yong leaned against the door of the shop and took out a milky white lump from the box. He threw it into the air and caught it with his mouth. His eyes wandered and he wondered what the Queen of Great Britain's three palaces and six courtyards looked like.
On the street, an extremely slovenly old man with worn-out clothes and messy hair took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom. He poured out a pill from it and threw it into his mouth. His brows instantly furrowed.
He hurriedly took out a cloth bag from his arms. When he opened it, he saw that it was empty. His face changed involuntarily.
The sloppy old man sighed, and a look of frustration and confusion appeared on his face. He had lost the person and the candy. Although the antidote could last for a long time, if he couldn't find the person, he would still end up the same. It was just a matter of time.
Should he continue to search like a headless fly in the Qi Kingdom, or should he return to the Jing Kingdom and wait for news? This was a difficult question.
Suddenly, as if he smelled something, he sniffed and quickly turned his head to look in a certain direction.
A man was leaning against the door of the shop. He was bored to death, throwing something white into the air and catching it with his mouth.
Lin Yong was still absent-mindedly repeating the action just now. However, when he habitually closed his mouth this time, he found that the sweet thing did not fall into his mouth.
He actually wasted one. He shook his head in disappointment and threw another one. Still nothing.
When he threw the third candy, Lin Yong finally realized something. He lowered his head and saw an extremely sloppy old man standing in front of him. The old man was currently putting a candy into his mouth.
