Cui Jingming's figure gradually disappeared, leaving only the group of soldiers standing quietly there.

Their faces were solemn, and they slowly closed their eyes, as if they were praying or meditating silently in their hearts.

After a long time, none of them picked up the weapons on the ground, but one after another walked towards the Beizhou city gate with firm steps.

They knew in their hearts that this favor would have to be repaid eventually, but not at the cost of sacrifice at this moment.

They were determined to use their future achievements to wash away the stain of the aristocratic family that Cui Jingming carried, to clear his name, and to find a way to redemption for themselves.

On this side, Cui Jingming returned and saw Li Tong wiping the blood off his cheek, which was particularly glaring in the sunlight.

When he saw Cui Jingming, Li Tong hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Mr. Cui."

Cui Jingming nodded slightly and asked calmly, "Is everything resolved?"

Li Tong nodded again and responded calmly, "Mr. Cui, everything has been arranged!"

"Ah."

Cui Jingming responded softly, then a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He sighed, "I know the temperament of those people. They will not keep their chastity obediently. They will survive for as long as they can."

"It's so ridiculous, so sad, and so hateful!"

He paused, then said, "Li Tong, let them all gather here!"

"Yes, Mr. Cui!" Li Tong took the order and left.

Soon, all of Cui Jingming's confidants, personal guards, and advisers, totaling 1,313 people, arrived.

At this moment, Beizhou City was like a dead city, silent and empty. Now, they were probably the only ones left.

Cui Jingming looked around the deserted city with nostalgia for the last time. This place carried too many memories for him, including laughter, tears, glory and regret.

But at this moment, everything is about to become a thing of the past.

"Come on, everyone, follow me. Let's meet His Majesty the Great Tang!"

His voice was filled with a determination to face death.

……

Outside Beizhou City, everyone looked at the soldiers who were still pouring out of the city, all with puzzled expressions on their faces, completely confused.

Only Li Chengqian and Mr. Qi seemed to have fully understood everything, and they had now entered the stage of waiting for others.

Lin Dafu came to Li Chengqian breathlessly. He bowed and shouted, "Your Majesty."

Then, he looked viciously at Mr. Qi beside Li Chengqian, but Mr. Qi pretended not to see it and looked indifferent.

Li Chengqian smiled and reached out to gently touch Lin Dafu's belly, jokingly saying, "You should lose some weight. You look so fat. Have you had your regular checkups?"

Lin Dafu nodded quickly.

"Your Majesty, I go for a physical checkup every month and there's nothing serious wrong with me."

"I am a humble commoner. Do you want me to give you a high position?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Dafu waved his hands hurriedly.

"His Majesty!"

"No, I, Lin Dafu, was not born to be an official. I only like money. I am not some villain named Qi!"

"He's a complete official fanatic. Not only is he an official, but he also comes to me every now and then to ask for money. Your Majesty, you must take action for me!"

"I won't mention anyone by name here!"

"That guy surnamed Qi just needs to know what's going on!"

Hearing Lin Dafu's words, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Li Chengqian and Mr. Qi's faces.

After all, the two of them really spent money without restraint. Now Lin Dafu let Li Chengqian make the decision, but a lot of the money was collected by Mr. Qi through Li Chengqian's arrangement.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Stingy Fatty, it seems your begging army won't be of much use. This time the expenses are quite high, right?"

Lin Dafu blinked his small eyes, glanced at the soldiers who kept coming out of Beizhou City, and patted his chest confidently.

"Your Majesty, this is nothing. I asked someone to calculate it, and it's only a little over 50 million."

"I was a little nervous at first, but now I'm not nervous anymore."

"Why aren't you panicking?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

You know, this fat guy values ​​money like his life, so why is he so open-minded this time?

"Your Majesty, because this way you can make a lot of money!"

"If the people have no money, who will our Chamber of Commerce earn money from?"

"Actually, my Tang Dynasty is very rich!"

"It's just that all this money has been buried in the ground by the noble families. If the money can't be circulated, nothing can be done."

"Last year, our Tang Dynasty had another bumper harvest, and grain prices fell, but low grain prices hurt farmers."

"It's just right that I can put more of this money into the hands of the people of the Tang Dynasty. This way, the money will circulate, and a penny can accomplish a lot."

"As long as we control the quantity, it will be fine. Once our Tang Dynasty develops its material resources, there will be no need to buy things with cloth. As long as you have money, you can buy anything!"

When Li Chengqian heard Lin Dafu's words, his eyes lit up.
