After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

While Qin He was busy, another group of people were also busy.

Liu Mansion.

into the night.

The huge Liu Mansion had only two or three dim lights, appearing quiet and deep.

"Squeak~"

The door to the side hall slowly opened.

A man in a black burqa stepped in and the door slowly closed.

In the side hall, more than ten people stood quietly.

"Everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting." The man in black robe slowly took off his hat, his voice a little hoarse.

This was a tall and thin middle-aged man with an unusually broad back, a rat-tail whip, deep eye sockets, and his hands hanging down even longer than his knees.

In the deep eye sockets, the dark light in his eyes danced like will-o'-the-wisp.

Liu Changan stood at the front of the group of more than ten people. When he saw who was coming, his pupils suddenly shrank into pinholes. He flung his sleeves and trembled as if he had received an electric shock. He knelt down and said, "Your servant Liu Changan greets Master Aqina. I respectfully ask about my king, Wang Shengan."

Liu Changan's kneeling moved the other ten or so people, and they all knelt down and said, "Your servant greets Master Aqina and asks for your king's well-being."

Aqina bowed his hands towards the north and said slowly, "May your Majesty be well! Everyone, please stand up and speak."

"Thank you, sir." Everyone stood up.

Liu Changan glanced at Gantuji at the door and said hurriedly, "I didn't know that Master Aqina was heading south. I failed to greet him. I deserve death."

Yesterday, Gantuji suddenly came to his house and asked him to gather all the spies hiding in the officialdom of Manjing who were qualified to serve in the imperial court, saying that a big man would come from the north and have an important task to assign to him.

Liu Changan did not dare to delay and called people to wait on time.

I was silently wondering who the big shot coming would be.

As the situation has developed to this day, people with similar strength to Anbagu and Erma are no longer able to control the situation, because Shen Lian and Tu Baishou of Feiyuwei broke through to the external strength level almost at the same time. Although the grade is not high, they are external strength masters after all.

Under King Di's command, there are only four masters of external strength, who are rare.

However, there are more than a dozen external force masters from the four great immortal families, grassland tribes and some external forces who are affiliated with King Di.

Maybe it's one of them.

The external force masters under King Di are all capable of doing things on their own, and it is unlikely that they would risk entering Manjing alone. Otherwise, if one of them is lost, it would be a serious blow to the country.

Brother Aqi is a lesson for us.

But Liu Changan never expected that the person coming was not only one of the four external forces under King Di, but also the strongest among them - the commander-in-chief of the Eight Shadow Divisions, the Left Governor, Lord Aqina.

There were rumors five years ago that his strength had reached the fifth level.

Gantuji knew that the person who came was Aqinna, but he did not reveal a word.

"This trip south was a sudden decision of mine, I don't blame you," said Aqina.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, sir." Liu Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Listen to the words and the tone, listen to the tone and the breath.

Previously, the Eight Shadows had suffered a series of failures in Manjing and suffered heavy casualties. Liu Changan was worried that Aqina would blame him and kill him without a burial place.

Aqina's words gave him a reassurance.

After a few pleasantries, Aqina said, "The Le Dynasty has lost its virtue, and the wars have ravaged the people for years. Our king, a man of great virtue, is as firm as a rock in his determination to march south and claim the throne. You should all work together with one heart and one mind, and not harbor any doubts."

When the more than ten people in the room heard this, excitement showed on their faces.

Last year, Aqige suffered a crushing defeat when he entered the pass, and King Di had no choice but to withdraw his troops. In winter, he encountered a snow disaster, and countless cattle, sheep, and livestock froze to death.

Until midsummer, no definite news came from the north.

Everyone couldn't help but start to worry whether King Di had lost his determination and given up his plan to enter the Pass and replace Dali.

After all, it is not an easy matter for a foreign race to enter the pass and establish a dynasty. It took the Rong people several decades to move south during their heyday.

As Han spies, they will not be able to rest easy until King Di enters the pass.

Only when King Di entered the Pass and established a dynasty could they truly enjoy wealth and glory with peace of mind.

Aqina's words gave them a shot in the arm.

"God bless Dadi!"

Liu Changan clenched his fists, his face excited.

"God bless Dadi!"

"God bless Dadi, my king is mighty!"

"..."

The others also echoed.

Aqin's will-o'-the-wisp eyes swept over the crowd, and he nodded with satisfaction, saying, "This time I'm heading south, intending to cut off Li Ting's arm. I need your full support."

"Please tell us clearly, Lord Aqinna, we are willing to go through fire and water without hesitation." Liu Changan said with a fist salute.

"Well done, you're quite courageous," Aqina praised, then slowly explained the purpose of his trip: "The Li court is in turmoil, yet weak and unyielding, all because the treasury still has food and money to support it. If we can cut off their food and money, it would be like cutting off an arm of the Li state, removing the fuel from under its cauldron."

Liu Chang'an's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Are you referring to Wei Zhongliang, sir?"

Wei Zhongliang, this old dog, relied on the imperial power to stir up chaos inside and outside the court. He was at odds with the Donglin Party and fought countless battles, big and small. The eunuch party that relied on him was not large in number, but they gained more advantages than suffered less losses.

He is arrogant and domineering, and extremely bad, but he has one specialty that is particularly amazing.

It means to plunder money and food.

In recent years, Dali has been guarding the border and suppressing rebellions, and has been engaged in military campaigns year after year. All the food and money consumed were plundered by Wei Zhongliang from the wealthy areas of Jiangnan.

Mining tax, commercial tax, boat tax, salt and iron tax, horse and carriage tax, local customs tax, bandit tax... There are countless types of taxes, and more and more tax inspectors, grain supervision teams, and salary supervision teams are sent out. Batches of eunuchs are sent south, and shiploads of grain and salary are transported to the capital through the Grand Canal, trying to maintain the crumbling rule of the Dali Dynasty.

Those tax collectors acted tyrannically in the south and would confiscate the property and exterminate the clans if they disobeyed anyone, but they were able to obtain food and wages, and at the same time they were completely at odds with the Donglin Party.

The two sides are at loggerheads and cannot reconcile.

"Yes, it's Wei Zhongliang."

Aqina looked at Liu Changan with satisfaction and said, "Wei Zhongliang's eunuch party and the Donglin scholars are like water and fire. Wei Zhongliang is also an old dog who has passed his prime and is being suspected by the new emperor. Now is the perfect time to get rid of him."

"Once Wei Zhongliang is dead, the Donglin faction will definitely seize the opportunity to hunt down the eunuchs and eradicate them completely. By then, given the nature of the Donglin faction, the Li court will never be able to get a penny of silver or a grain of food from Jiangnan again."

Liu Chang'an's heart was burning with excitement when he heard this. In fact, he had already tried to implement Aqina's plan.

The memorial impeaching Wei Zhongliang's confidant Tian Ergeng a few days ago was submitted by someone arranged by him, but he did not dare to use too much force and could only hide behind the Donglin Party and make indirect attacks.

"Master Aqina's shining light has enlightened us all."

Liu Chang'an's face was flattering as he spoke in a flattering manner. He then added, "A few days ago, Yang Suoxiu and Yang Weiyuan attacked Cui Chengxiu, the leader of the Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party, with harsh words. Emperor Li kept the words in his pocket and did not issue an edict to reprimand them. I'm afraid they have murderous intentions."

Aqina nodded and said coldly, "So we add fuel to the fire. Donglin has been suppressed by the eunuchs for too long. They are too timid. If we delay for too long, we will only create more trouble. We must act quickly and eliminate Wei Zhongliang and his eunuchs as soon as possible while Emperor Li is still trying to understand the situation."

"I understand." Liu Changan nodded heavily.

Afterwards, the candlelight flickered, and everyone conspired for a long time before dispersing.

No one noticed, or rather no one paid attention to, that around the side hall, there were several mice running around looking for food.
