The First Tyrant of Daxia

"His Majesty."

Chang Hong knelt on the ground, already knowing what happened to Concubine Pei.

"Send the imperial guards out with my order and unite the government offices of all prefectures and counties. Even if they have to dig three feet into the ground, they must bring Pei Yao back to me!"

"Yes!" Chang Hong bowed.

"Wait." Qin Yun called him again.

"Especially the place where Pei Yao's ancestors came from. We must search carefully. Anyone who dares to hide there will be guilty of treason!"

Chang Hong's face turned grim: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will send the most elite imperial guards right away."

Qin Yun waved his hands, feeling annoyed.

After Chang Hong left, he stood there for a long time before changing his clothes and leaving the palace.

Today, the only people around him were Feng Lao, Tao Yang, and a few shadow guards hiding in the dark.

We arrived at Sihai Restaurant, but Murong Shunhua had not arrived yet.

After ordering a pot of daughter's red wine and cutting a few pounds of braised beef, Qin Yun began to eat.

"Have you heard? There's a Pinghu Poetry Festival tonight!" said a scholar holding a feather fan with a smile.

"I heard that all the scholars in the imperial capital will attend the event, and representatives from the three major academies will also come, such as Gu Chuntang, Li Mu and other famous talents."

"There are also activities such as rowing flower boats, flying lanterns, and guessing poetry riddles."

"Haha, this young master must compose a poem, win first place, become famous in the imperial capital, and win the beauty!"

Qin Yun listened to the discussions in the restaurant and became interested.

"Is Gu Chuntang going too?"

Qi Yong had recommended this person last time, and even Wei Zheng praised him highly, so it can be said that he is a man of real talent and knowledge.

"Mr. Feng, what are the origins of these three academies?"

Elder Feng bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the three major academies are Yangchun, Qiuyue, and Ruoshui. They were once the places of sages that the late emperor relied on the most. They have countless books and have produced many capable ministers over the past hundred years."

"In the eyes of Daxia scholars, these three places are the highest institutions of learning."

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Then do you think it is appropriate to choose the prime minister from here?"

Mr. Feng nodded without hesitation.

"Well, let's go back to the palace later tonight and have some fun at the poetry gathering, and by the way, meet the world-famous talent Gu Chuntang."

"If he is really as the rumors say, with strong literary and administrative skills and a virtuous character, I don't mind letting him enter the court and give it a try." Qin Yun said with a smile.

Elder Feng said with some concern: "Your Majesty, there will be many people at the poetry gathering, and this is a time of great trouble. You..."

Qin Yun waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm not afraid as long as the shadow guards are here."

Elder Feng had no choice but to nod his head and suggested, "Then let Guard Captain Tao mobilize another group of imperial guards?"

Qin Yun shook his head: "No!"

"I am on a secret visit, but wherever I go there is an army. What's going on?"

"By the way, I also want to personally experience the people's sentiments and see what kind of person I am in the eyes of scholars all over the world, so that I can govern the country in the future."

Mr. Feng and Tao Yang looked at each other and could only nod.

At this moment.

Feng Lao's ears moved without wind, and then he whispered: "Your Majesty, people are coming."

Qin Yun glanced at Tao Yang, and he immediately put on a bamboo hat to hide his identity. Because not long ago in Yunzhou, he went to invite Murong Shunhua to the palace, and Murong knew that he was the emperor's man.

The last time Murong beat Zhang Hu, fortunately she didn't notice Tao Yang, otherwise Qin Yun's identity would have been exposed.

I saw Murong Shunhua in white clothes as white as snow.

Appearing at the stairs, she took a quick glance and then came towards Qin Yun.

Her temperament is unique. When she walks, she seems to have a fairy-like air that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Miss Murong, you are late." Qin Yun was very happy to see her again and smiled.

Murong Shunhua sat down and said calmly: "It's you who's early, not me who's late."

Qin Yun poured her tea himself and said, "Hearing Miss Murong's tone, I guess there has been some progress?"

She was straightforward and didn't keep anyone in suspense. She took out a very thick and old account book from her sleeve.

Qin Yun's eyes lit up instantly!

Even his breathing became rapid. He subconsciously reached out to take it, but Murong Shunhua's hand retracted, leaving him empty-handed.

Qin Yun smiled awkwardly, withdrew his hand and said, "Miss Murong, what do you mean?"

"What do you think?" Murong Shunhua looked like she was keeping someone at a distance, and said coldly, "I got the things for you, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

"We have settled all our debts. No one owes anyone anything."

Qin Yun curled his lips and said, "If you are so afraid that I will cheat, why do you cooperate with me?"

"By the way, you are so skilled in martial arts that even my men are no match for you. What are you afraid of?"

Murong Shunhua raised her eyebrows, showing a girlish charm: "This is the rule of the martial arts world. Let's talk about it first so that there will be no confusion later."

"Ok."

Qin Yun nodded and stretched out his hand, saying, "Then you have to show me the authenticity of the account book, right? What if you use a fake one to deceive me? Wouldn't it be a waste of my efforts?"

"Why do you have so many things to do?!" Murong Shunhua frowned a little unhappy. She hated people who were long-winded. If it wasn't for cooperation, she didn't want to talk to Qin Yun even a word.

Qin Yun took a sip of tea and made a look that said "please do as you please".

Murong Shunhua frowned and had to take out the account book.

Qin Yun did not move, but motioned for Old Feng to check.

Old Feng grabbed the account book with his withered hands and looked at it carefully. There was shock and joy in his cloudy eyes.

Murong Shunhua looked at Old Feng meaningfully. Based on her knowledge and ability, she felt that this unprepossessing old man was quite threatening.

"Your Majesty, the account book is correct and is signed by Wang Wei. It is what you wanted." Old Feng put the account book on the table.

Hearing this, Qin Yun's mouth curled up and his eyes shone brightly.

With this thing, it would be enough to at least raid Wang Wei's house.

Murong Shunhua took back the account book and asked, "When will you send me to the palace?"

Qin Yun showed a sly smile: "I have to prepare for this. After all, you are going to assassinate the emperor. If you are not careful, my whole family will lose their heads with you."

Murong didn't object, and a hint of disdain appeared on her red lips: "Didn't you say you could let me in anytime? And you also said you could do whatever I wanted."

"Yes, I did." Qin Yun said seriously: "But, I need some time to prepare, right?"

"Then come to Sihai Restaurant to find me when you are ready. I will give you the account book after I enter the palace. Bye bye now." Murong Shunhua stood up calmly.

"and many more!"

Qin Yun immediately stopped her and said, "Ms. Murong, please don't leave. If you leave, who will I bring into the palace tonight?"

Murong turned around, his eyes slightly cold: "Are you kidding me?"

"Hehe, I don't have any." Qin Yun smiled and spread his hands, saying, "I will go to the poetry gathering tonight, and after the poetry gathering I will go to the palace to meet the emperor."

"Then you can sneak in in my carriage. This is the easiest and quickest way. In case we can't find you, why don't you come with me to the poetry gathering tonight?"

Murong Shunhua's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked, "Are you sure it's possible?"

"I..." Qin Yun raised his eyes and quickly changed his words: "My words are always my bond!"

When Murong Shunhua heard this, she frowned slightly and stared at Qin Yun with her beautiful eyes.
