Chapter 690: act quickly

Views:

After verifying the secret agent's identity, a hanging basket was slowly lowered from the palace wall, and the secret agent was hoisted up. Soon, several figures rushed towards the palace.

While hurrying along, an eunuch turned his head and asked the man, "Your Majesty has already rested, are you sure this matter is urgent enough to wake His Majesty now?"

The secret agent nodded and said: "Your Majesty has an order, as soon as there is news from Li County Marquis, you must report it as soon as possible!"

"Marquis Li?" The eunuch glanced at him and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll report..."

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked towards a certain palace ahead.

Before reaching the front of the hall, there was a voice from the side: "What is the reason for disturbing His Majesty in the middle of the night?"

The eunuch turned his head, hurriedly bowed and said, "I've met Mr. Chang!"

Chang De said lightly: "Your Majesty just fell asleep, if it's not something urgent, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The eunuch said respectfully: "Return to the general manager, the Secret Service has urgently reported that there is news from Li County Marquis."

Chang De raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him wait here."

After finishing speaking, he took two quick steps, pushed the door open and walked into the hall.

Not long after, lights lit up in the palace.

Emperor Jing put on a robe, paced around in the hall, read the letterhead in his hand several times, and said: "The secret spy department sent twenty priests to bring him back unscathed. Take over the generals of Shuzhou so that we can act, if there is any disobedience, you can kill first and then play!"

"Zunzhi..." Chang De bowed and said.

Before dawn, a group of people hurried out of the city with their tokens and headed west.

At the gate of the city, Chang De reined in his horse and said to a middle-aged Taoist priest in front of him: "The surname is Yuan, this time, Li County Marquis will be handed over to you. Your Majesty has an order to bring him back unscathed."

"Do your best."

The middle-aged Taoist priest raised his hand and gave a salute, turned his head, and said slowly, "Let's go."

Li Xuan was riding on the horse, and asked suspiciously: "It's just a few of them, is it okay?"

Chang De turned his horse's head and explained: "A grandmaster, the rest of the people are rare opponents under the grandmaster. It is impossible to attack the city and seize the territory. It is easy to take the head of the enemy's general among thousands of armies. Besides, they have His Majesty's sacred decree in their hands. Wherever we go, we can temporarily mobilize five hundred soldiers and horses, which is already very safe."

"It's been two months..." Li Xuan nodded, reined in his horse and returned to the city, and said with a soft sigh.

Fifty miles outside of Kyoto, there is a huge square.

"It's a long way to Shuzhou, everyone must be careful along the way!" Standing on the stage, Lu Luo said loudly, looking at the densely packed figures of nearly a hundred people below.

Yang Liuqing waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Seeing the figures of the crowd gradually disappear, Lu Luo stepped down from the high platform and said to the rest of the audience, "Go to your own business."

This time, the Liumeng had almost all the elite. Among a hundred people, one person was randomly selected, and he also had a famous name on the hero list. This kind of power is almost enough to sweep away any force in the martial arts.

Lee's.

"Miss, just let me go with them!" Lao Fang said firmly with a burden on his back.

Ruyi looked at him and said, "They sent more than a hundred masters over there this time, there will be no mistakes."

Lao Fang shook his head and said, "I lost my uncle. If I can't find my uncle myself, I will never feel at ease in my life."

A woman next to him came over and said, "Miss, just let him go..."

Ruyi looked at Aunt Fang's family, and after a while, she nodded slightly.

A hint of excitement appeared on Lao Fang's face, and he said, "Don't worry, miss, we found my uncle and second miss, and we'll be right back!"

After all, he tightened the burden on his body, hugged his mother-in-law and aunt vigorously, and then rushed out without looking back.

A blush appeared on the woman's face: "This dead man..."

Life is always full of surprises, there are many unexpected things, no one will ever know what will come next second.

Maybe it's a hard slap to wake you up and teach you to be a good person.

Maybe it's a big gift from the sky, the kind with a bow tie outside, telling you how beautiful this world really is.

After being unlucky for so long, the time finally turned, and it was time to celebrate.

Wrap the freshly baked toffee in glutinous rice paper and eat it when it cools down.

With this thing, Miss Liu Er can drink medicine much more easily, saving herself the overlord every time. After a long time, the way she looks at her makes Li Yi feel a little weak in his heart.

Good things to share with everyone, I put some in the box that I just dried, and I plan to give them to Lin Yong and Lin Wanru to taste.

After Lin Yong threw a piece into his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Brother Li, what is this, it's so delicious, give me some more!"

"All these are for you." Li Yi poured out half of the contents of the box for him, and said, "Let your lady taste the rest when she comes over."

Lin Yong waved his hand and said, "I have to look at the store in the front, and the lady is in the back. Go there by yourself."

He has become familiar with Li Yi for a long time, and his speech has gradually become more casual.

"Okay, okay, look at the store, I'll go there by myself." Li Yi waved his hand and walked to the room in the backyard.

Seeing Lin Wanru writing something in front of the table in the yard, Li Yi knocked on the door, walked in, 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, nodded slightly, and asked, "Is Miss Liu feeling better?"

"It's much better." Li Yi nodded, seeing "Baijia" and "Xujia" written on the paper in front of her, followed by some numbers, thinking of something, and asked: "Why, where are the raw materials?" Is the matter still unresolved?"

Lin Wanru shook her head, and said: "There is no agreement with the Xu Ma family, so raising the price by 10% should only be their first step. If they agree, I'm afraid they will immediately make gains. As for the Bai family... it's the same as them. That's all."

Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Lin Wanru said: "Look for other people to cooperate. If Fanglinyuan doesn't pick up the goods from the three of them, the few jewelry stores in Fengzhou can't afford the goods of the three of them. At that time, it's time for them to worry. "

Li Yi thought for a while 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 suspiciously, "Do you still have friends in Fengzhou?"

"Just met." 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 the most indispensable thing is jewelry. It happened that I made friends with a few foreign businessmen from Great Britain yesterday. Let me ask for you to see if they have any goods in their hands, and if they are willing to cooperate with you."

Lin Wanru stood up, looked at him and said, "Then I will trouble you."

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "My own, it should be."

Lin Yong leaned against the door of the shop, took out a milky white lump from the box, threw it into the air, and then caught it with his mouth, his eyes drifted, thinking about what the Queen of Great Britain's Sangong Sixth Court looked like .

On the street, an extremely scruffy old man with shabby clothes and disheveled hair took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured a pill from it and threw it into his mouth, his brows furrowed instantly.

He hurriedly took out a cloth bag from his arms, and when he opened it, he saw that it was empty, his expression changed involuntarily.

The slovenly old man sighed, with a look of despair and confusion on his face. He lost his heel, and the sugar was gone. Although he said the antidote could last for a long time, he couldn't find anyone. The end result was still the same, it was just a matter of time. Sooner or later.

Whether to continue searching like headless chickens in Qi State, or return to Jing State to wait for the news, this is a difficult question.

Suddenly, as if he smelled something, he sniffed fiercely, turned his head quickly, and looked in a certain direction.

A man was leaning against the door of the shop over there, throwing a white thing into the air and catching it with his mouth.

Lin Yong still absent-mindedly repeated the action just now, but this time when he habitually closed his mouth, he found that the sweet thing did not fall into his mouth.

He actually wasted one, he shook his head in disappointment, threw another one, still nothing.

When he threw the third candy, Lin Yong finally realized something. He lowered his head and saw a very sloppy old man standing in front of him, putting a candy into his mouth.
