Cultivation of the Empress of Comprehensive Martial Arts

Valley "Very good!"

Before Yan Song left, Lu Qing went to the mansion where Zhu Tiedan lived.He has something important to discuss with this marquis.Since the ledger is still there, it is necessary to find the ledger.And this Shenhou's intelligence network is very powerful, if he makes a move, he will definitely find something.

Yan Song did not return to his own mansion after leaving the government mansion, he changed his attire and came to a different courtyard after several turnovers.After entering the door, he was taken to the study.At this time, two young people were playing chess in the study.After seeing the two, Yan Song lowered his head and said.

"Young Master Xiao has a fortune, Lu Qing really took the initiative to find me today."

Yan Song was afraid to look at Xiao Luan right now.During the previous disaster relief, he also suggested adding some food to Li Chen. As long as they don't want to, there are ten thousand reasons for not giving out food.Others can't find an excuse to attack.That's what they play.Unless you use force to grab.

But Xiao Luan secretly hinted that he cooperates with Li Chen, and wants everyone to know the benevolence of the second prince.This kind of cooperation was not Li Chen's signal, but their cooperation secretly, and it was not obvious.

Then, Xiao Luan predicted that Lu Qing would not be able to sit still.Sure enough, this one really couldn't sit still.

"Just do what he says. If Li Chen asks, you can use him as an excuse. Remember, we won't take the initiative in this matter, they are the ones who will take the initiative." Xiao Luan laughed.

"Yes."

"You go down first."

"Yes!"

After Yan Song left, Chen Xu looked at Xiao Luan.

"Take the initiative to disclose the news of the ledger to them. You are playing with fire, be careful of self-immolation."

"That depends on who the person who set himself on fire is. We can't find the ledger, but that thing has always existed. In that case, why not ask them to help us find it together. Maybe that person will show up when he hears about the prince. As long as If he shows up, we can take it away. This is our territory." Xiao Luan calmly described his superficial plan.

"But this is tantamount to tearing face off with the emperor." Chen Xu's voice revealed worry.

Originally, they and the emperor were in a situation where cooperation would benefit both, while competition would harm both.But now, the smooth is broken.They have to think about their own interests.

"With that national policy stuck there, do you think we still have room to retreat?" Xiao Luan sneered.

Soon after Chen Xu left, Xiao Luan came to an elegant room in another courtyard, knocked on the door and entered.Xue Qianye was reading a book.

"Sir, you are really talented. Our plan has a good start." Xiao Luan said with a smile.

Everything in front of him was done by the person in front of him, and he is particularly interested in him now.But at the same time, a trace of fear also rose in my heart.

"From now on, we just need to find a way to make a fake account book and throw it out in a reasonable way." Xue Qianye smiled slightly, and said the plan for the future.

Because it is fake, they can decide how to write the content.In other words, even if it fails, the loss of the Xiao family can be minimized.In the eyes of others, this is a real ledger.

Chapter 283

From the mouth of Xiaoyaoyou, through Li Chen and the people around him, the matter of the black ledger spread immediately.For a while, all forces were eager to try this account book that would interest the emperor.

They sent people to search everywhere, but found nothing.But at the same time don't give up.For the four nobles, this is the emperor's means to make them compromise.Once it is obtained by the emperor, it basically means that the national policy will be implemented soon.And this is the last thing they want to see.

For the First Prince's forces, this is a good opportunity for them to make contributions.As long as this can be done, the corruption case will basically be solved.In this way, it will be a matter of time before the eldest prince is established as the crown prince.

And Zhu Tiedan naturally supported the eldest prince, in fact, Shenhou was very afraid of the current emperor.If it were the eldest prince, he felt that it would be very easy for him to use the emperor's power to find Tianxiang Doukou.Therefore, the vassal power represented by him naturally supported the eldest prince.

In contrast, the Second Prince's side is a little more subtle.Originally, the second prince wanted to listen to someone's words and pull his elder brother down.As a result, he was persuaded by his wife.In the end, considering that Mi Cangqiong was also there, he was afraid that the emperor would find out, so he had to restrain his crazy thoughts temporarily.Then he dispatched Li Chen.

Since it wasn't a black hand, he felt that his subordinate could handle the disaster better.In fact, Li Chen did handle the disaster well, and it also made his reputation soar.The second prince originally thought that this was not bad.

It's a pity... the sudden appearance of the ledger made it impossible for him to ignore this opportunity.Especially when Li Chen talked about the eldest prince holding back food, he couldn't just sit back and watch.After thinking for a long time, he sent another person.

If there is anyone who is the least interested in ledgers among the various forces, it is probably Li Chen himself.He is not in the mood to take care of the ledgers now, and his worries about food and disaster relief.

He had also asked Yan Song what was going on before, but Yan Song could only say with a embarrassed face that this was Lu Qing's problem.He has to go through Lu Qing to adjust the food here, and he has nothing to do if the other party doesn't let go.Li Chen also scoffed at such obvious excuses.But no matter what he said, the other party didn't let go.

Now he understood that this person was also under pressure from Lu Qing.Compared with the second prince, the first prince has more vassals, which obviously has an advantage.

On the street, due to the arrival of food, the disaster situation has been temporarily stabilized. Coupled with Li Chen's arrangements, no major disturbances have occurred among the parties.However, this is only temporary. Li Chen and his people are currently inspecting all parties. Originally, he was still thinking about how to solve the problem.

In the past few days, he has been worrying about food matters.At this moment, he noticed a white-haired man walking towards him.Because the white hair was so obvious in the black hair, it was hard for him not to notice it.

Li Chen hurried forward and came to Xiaoyaoyou.

"I've seen you, sir, and Li Chen thanked you for saving my life before." Li Chen then saluted.

"Master Li is being polite. Master Li is a clear and bright official, benefiting one side, so it was a blessing for me to take action before. Just looking at Master Li's face, it seems that there is something bothering you?" Xue Qianye responded with a smile.

"This... Sir, can you come with me to the courtyard? Let me thank you for your kindness before." Li Chen thought for a while and offered the invitation.

"Respect is worse than obedience."

Soon, in the other courtyard, Li Chen toasted Xiaoyaoyou from the old stone table.

"Bottle wine is not a respect. Thank you sir, let's do it first." Li Chen drank it all in one gulp.

"Master Li is a clean and honest official, which is admirable." Xue Qianye took a sip and put it down.

"It's just that the news that Mr. revealed 'inadvertently' before has hurt me now." Putting down his glass, Li Chen smiled wryly.

He can guess now that the account information disclosed by Xiaoyaoyou before was not accidental, but intentional.

"Even if there is no news from me, Mr. Li will not be able to escape this catastrophe. On the contrary, the appearance of the ledger will bring a glimmer of life to this dead game." Xue Qianye said calmly, with meaning in his words.

"Dead chess? Not at all. Now Your Majesty has sent me to investigate the corruption case. As long as we can find out the matter, we will be able to clear up the government and the people and make peace for thousands of miles. So that this disaster will never happen again in the future." During the speech, Li Chen bowed his hands to show his respect to the emperor.

"..." Hearing this, a different smile appeared on Xue Qianye's face.

"Why are you laughing, sir?"

"I laugh at Master Li's innocence."

"Why did you come out to play with each other, sir?" For a moment, Li Chen couldn't help being a little angry.

"Master Li, do you think that with this matter, you can move the mountain in front of you?" Xue Qianye ignored him, but poured a few more glasses into the empty glass next to him.Then point to them and ask.

"Of course……"

"Lord Li, you are here now, and you are still qualified to talk about investigating this case here. That's because someone in the court wants to knock mountains and shake tigers. Otherwise, even if you are very capable, you can't win this dead game. If it weren't for you The situation has changed, you can’t move those who really endanger the country, and you can’t save the victims in front of you. Freezing three feet is not a day’s cold. Melting ice and snow is not a day’s work.” Xue Xue Qianye stated a fact that Li Chen could not accept in a calm tone.

"..." Li Chen got up quickly, making complicated changes to his face.He seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand.

"Please!" During the words, Xue Qianye pushed one of the cups towards Li Chen.

"The people are the most important, the king is the least, and the community is second. Do I have to watch the mountains and rivers in front of me suffer from disasters?" In the end, Li Chen sat down decadently, completely losing interest in the wine at hand.

In the past, he thought that he could change the overall situation with his own power like Gu Mingxiang, but it was only when he faced the overall situation that he realized that this situation was suffocating and desperate.

"The people are the most important, the king is the least, and the country is second. But now there are a few people whose ambition can win the hearts of all the people. What can you do?"

"I..." Li Chen couldn't speak anymore.

"For example, Mr. Li's current distress. Is there any news about the account book? Once you show your sharpness, it will arouse the vigilance of others. They may not be able to accomplish anything, but they can drag you into the mud with them."

That's right!than bad.This is the favorite thing for those in high positions to do.How tiring to progress.As long as you ensure that no one is better than yourself, then you don't have to worry about family continuation.If there is no crisis, there is no need to exercise the claws.

Compared with exercising claws, pulling others into the water is obviously a better way.

"For the sake of all the people here, sir, please teach me how to break the situation." Li Chen saluted Xue Qianye.

"It's not difficult to break this game. As I said just now, I brought a little life to this dead game."

"Sir, do you mean... the ledger?"

Chapter 284 Friends?

"It's the ledger. All parties are staring at the ledger. In other words, whoever can get it will have the initiative. If the ledger is in the hands of Mr. Li, do you want to use it as a sword to cut off the local defeat?" Officials, or temporarily succumbing to them, threatening them to forcibly adjust food, or even going one step further, defeating your lord’s opponents and making them enter the Ninth Five-Year Plan is all right. At that time, you may have the ability to wipe out thousands of miles.” Xue Qianye calmly described the function of the ledger.

As long as he has that ledger, he can use it as a condition to negotiate with the people behind the scenes.Want food by then?It doesn't matter how much.There is never a shortage of food in the local area or even in the surrounding area, but they will not take it out.

"Sir, this strategy is a good one, but..." Hearing this, Li Chen hesitated.He instinctively thought that using this method would make him like the guys he hated.

"If you want to dig out the mud with your hands, you will inevitably get your hands dirty. Since ancient times, only evil can cure evil, and killing can stop killing. Therefore, noble people in ancient times would rather live in seclusion in the mountains than Refuse to become an official in the court. If you can't pass your own test, then it's best not to continue to be an official. Retiring to the mountains and forests may be the best choice." Xue Qianye raised his hand and pointed out Li Chen's biggest heart weakness.

It sounds good because I want to be a virtuous minister, but it sounds bad because I don’t want to steal my hands.

"Thank you, sir. If it's for the sake of clearing up thousands of miles, Li Chen will be smashed to pieces and go forward without hesitation." Hearing this, Li Chen's eyes changed rapidly, as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay! You can wait here, and I will send you a gift soon. I hope that even if you are in the quagmire in the future, you will not forget your original intention of pleading for life for the people."

"Chen, I dare not forget. Chen can swear here, if that day really comes, Chen will definitely die a good death."

"..."

Xue Qianye got up calmly, ready to leave.At this time, Li Chen suddenly seemed to think of something and asked.

"Sir! Dare to ask why you want to help me?"

He didn't understand why the person in front of him wanted to help him.Obviously judging from the situation in front of him, he is just a small person.No matter it is power or ability, it is not as good as others.

"I never helped you. But in front of you, only you can clean up this mess. If the four nobles are jackals, then the princes are tigers and leopards. The supervisor of rituals is a falcon staring at the target. Everyone Among them, only you can think about the people here, and you really want to do something practical for them." Xue Qianye turned her back to Li Chen, and told a reason that he couldn't refute.

After leaving these words, Xue Qianye left the other courtyard and disappeared into the wind.

In the Xiao family's manor by the lake, the sun was shining brightly, and there were turbulent waves.Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong stayed here for the past few days and fully understood what it means to enjoy being an uncle.Not only is there good food and drink, but there are also people serving, even beautiful maids who warm the bed.For the first time, they thought they had come to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Although they didn't know why the other party was so nice to them all of a sudden, they didn't think too much about it.Mr. Xiao's family is a good person, and they have a good fate. They have been suffering for the first half of their lives, and now they have finally achieved a positive result.They feel they deserve it.Of course, I have been eating and doing nothing here, and I feel sorry for Xiao Luan.

And Xiao Luan gave them these treatments, but at the same time, they couldn't help but give them an illusion, yes, that is, they could already sit on an equal footing with Xiao Luan.Although it was an illusion, they believed it to be true. After all, they were already friends with Xiao Luan, so they were naturally at the same level as him.

Before they were very inferior, but now it can be said that their self-confidence has skyrocketed.So, when they heard that their first love goddess, Chen Yuanyuan, was also in the manor, but a certain annoying white hair was not there, they were ready to show their love.

The two also made a gentleman's appointment to see who can catch up with the goddess first, and the other will give up.

They brought the jade bracelets they took from their own room, and happily came to another courtyard. Just when they thought that the gift they brought would make Chen Yuanyuan accept it happily, and then they would have a chance to exchange feelings. when……

"What? Not seen?" Kou Zhong looked strange.

"You go to report again, and say that the two of us want to see you. We know Miss Chen." Xu Ziling felt that there was some misunderstanding and said to the maid in front of him.

"Ms. Chen said that Mr. Xiaoyaoyou is not here. As a female family member, it is inconvenient for her to meet outsiders alone. Please forgive me from the two young heroes." The young maid looked at the two in front of her with a embarrassed expression.

She also knew that the two seemed to be particularly favored by Xiao Luan these days, and it seemed bad to stop them.But the one inside was also very fancy by Xiao Luan, and even specially asked to meet all his needs.

As a little maid, neither side dared to offend her.However, she couldn't help feeling a little envious of Chen Yuanyuan.She had heard before that the other party was from a brothel.But now it can be said to be aloof.

"Impossible. Is there a mistake?" Kou Zhong subconsciously said.

There are heroes to save the beauty, and now they are not punks, no matter what, the other party has no reason not to see them.

"We don't have any malicious intentions. It's just that I've met Miss Chen before, so I want to see you again." Xu Ziling thought that the other party was worried about their bad intentions, so he immediately explained.

Although they like each other very much, they still can't do what is difficult for others.Those maids before... that was also voluntary.

"It must be that you didn't make it clear, let me in. I'll tell Miss Chen personally..." Kou Zhong thought for a while, and felt that the problem was with the little girl in front of him.

The two were about to force their way in, but the guards on one side had already clenched their swords, and they were ready to complete their mission.The maid doesn't know, but they do.Compared with the two in front of him, their young master obviously respects Xiaoyaoyou more.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

"It seems that you two really don't understand what is enough. It doesn't seem strange that a woman who disturbs others at any time will be killed someday." Between the faint words, Xue Qianye walked over.

Well, no matter how you look at it, the two of them look like they are looking for death.However, they don't seem to realize it.

When Xue Qianye walked past them, he glanced at them indifferently. In an instant, the two felt as if they had fallen into a cellar of ice, and subconsciously took a few steps back.After reacting, they were again ashamed of their fear.

"Are you threatening me?" Kou Zhong replied forcefully on the surface.

"What's so great, we are also Xiao Luan's friends. We are much better than you as a guest." Xu Ziling also reacted at this time.

"Since you are friends, you shouldn't cause trouble for your friends. It seems that you don't even know how to be friends." Xue Qianye said lightly.

friend?It is not a good thing to be regarded as a friend by someone like Xiao Luan many times.This young man of the Xiao family looks approachable on the surface, but in fact he has a very gloomy personality inside.Even for himself, he was respectful on the surface and guarded on the inside.That's why I kept Chen Yuanyuan here as a 'hostage', in order to make him feel at ease temporarily.

"I……"

"us……"

The two had nothing to say for a while.They thought they were loyal, so naturally they couldn't admit it.Just when the two were embarrassed, the appearance of a voice moved them to tears.

"Two, Miss Chen is already Mr. Xiaoyao's, so why bother to force it. If you two are interested, I can take you to meet other people in Bayan." Xiao Luan came to the front and said to the two.

"Okay! It's a word."

"Brother Xiao is really interesting."

Chapter 285

The two left with Xiao Luan, Xue Qianye smiled slightly.Then walk into the hospital.

"Mister is back." Chen Yuanyuan greeted Xiaoyaoyou with a smile immediately after seeing him.And familiarly and actively took over the piano that Xiaoyaoyou put down.

"Ah."

"What happened just now..."

"You handled it very well." Xue Qianye took the initiative to dispel her doubts.

So most of the women in this era are very humble.She is not surprised now because she is worried that she suspects that she took the initiative to hook up with those two.Since ancient times, beauty has been a disaster.As if their very existence was a mistake.

"En." Hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan felt relieved.
