Tang Zhi left the Zangjiao Palace, did not go to the court, but also left a letter for Concubine Yao, and took his personal guards to go out of the city to welcome Liu Shen.

Tang Zhi can't wait, things are going to end, no matter what the result is, he has no way back, rather than dragging it out, it is better to have a good fight with the Daozhen faction as soon as possible.

Tang Zhi greeted Liu Shen and Li Zongtang's carriage, met Liu Shen alone, and gave Liu Shen some drawings, which were swings, slides, Ferris wheels and other entertainment facilities.

Tang Zhi told Liu Shen to let him build playgrounds all over the Tang Kingdom to drive the economy of the Tang Kingdom, after all, the current Tang Kingdom cannot make ends meet, and at the same time it can also give the people some entertainment activities.

Tang Zhi also asked Liu Shen to open some casinos owned by the state, and there was only one gambling item, the two-color ball.

The rule is that the "Double Colour Ball" lottery betting area is divided into a red ball number area and a blue ball number area.

The "Double Colour Ball" bet consists of 6 red ball numbers and 1 blue ball number. The red ball number is selected from 1-33 and the blue ball number is selected from 1-16.

"Double color balls" 2 copper per note.

"Double color balls" are bought once per person for a period.

The "two-color ball" adopts a national unified prize pool to calculate the prize.

The "Double Color Ball" is once a day.

The "Double Color Ball" can choose one blue number and five red numbers at a time.

Guess 1 blue number will give 5 bronze, and guess 5 red numbers will also give 5 bronze.

If you guess all 7 balls, you will directly give a low-grade energy stone, and a low-grade energy stone may be a wealth that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime.

The rest do not give money.

Some of the money earned by this casino fills the treasury and some is donated to the poor.

In addition, Tang Zhi also explained that Liu Shen must find a way to solve the problem that the country is now unable to make ends meet, and Tang Zhi believes that Liu Shen must have a way.

Then Tang Zhi saw Li Zongtang again, and Brother Long couldn't increase Li Zongtang's lifespan, and Tang Zhi asked Xiao Guizi to look around, and only Hua Lai Le would refine a little bit of the elixir that was not even the lowest grade in the entire Tang Kingdom.

It's just that I heard that there are more alchemists in Yangzhou, because of the scarcity of alchemists, so the pills have always been priceless, and there is no pill to renew Li Zongtang's life until now.

had no choice but to order Li Zongtang to find someone who could take over him before he died.

Li Zongtang thinks that he can't do it, and feels that he is very useless, that is, he can't help the emperor anything, and he can't do anything important for the country and the people, he is a useless scholar, not as good as Liu Shen.

But Tang Zhi comforted Li Zongtang, in fact, Li Zongtang is not useless, Liu Shen is indeed very good at doing things, but Li Zongtang can be a man.

Self-denial is not something that anyone can do, and the imperial court also needs an example like him, otherwise if everyone as an official learns to be as smooth as Liu Shen, the Tang Kingdom will not be far from the death of the country.

Tang Zhi hoped that Li Zongtang would find a person like him to take his place before he died.

After the explanation, Tang Zhi hurried to the ancient battlefield, and on the way, the Bull Demon King told Tang Zhi that his drinking friends were also willing to join the army of the Tang Northern Expedition, and waited for Tang Zhi's news at his home.

And among his drinking friends is a master of the Yuan Soul Realm, named Xia Panda, nicknamed the drunkard.

There are three other people, all of whom are cultivators of the Xuandan Realm, and there are masters to join, Tang Zhi of course welcomes them, so he asked the Bull Demon King to pick them up, and Fan Baobao put the real fire into his son's body, and their son's recovery is only a matter of time, so Fan Baobao can also join the army of Tang Guo's Northern Expedition.

Just as Tang Zhi was about to enter the ancient battlefield, he was blocked by a man riding a large black panther

Before Tang Zhi could speak, Li Tianyang rode forward and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Asked by Li Tianyang, the person riding the black panther quickly jumped off the leopard.

Kneeling in front of Tang Zhima and said: "The little one is the envoy of the Shang State, visit the Tang Emperor, long live the Tang Emperor, long live the Tang Emperor." ”

Tang Zhi: "Since it's an envoy of the Shang Kingdom, let's get up quickly."

What did the Emperor send you to find out?

And if you don't go to the Great Wall, why are you waiting for me here?"

The envoy of the Shang State: "Back to the Tang Emperor, the Emperor wants to hand over the Shang State to the Tang State, and asks the Tang Emperor to capture the Chen State together with the Emperor after recovering the lost territory in the north, attack the Daozhen Mountain, and destroy the Daozhen faction."

At that time, there was only one country in the state, that is, the Tang State, and the Emperor was willing to be the king, as long as the Shang State was a fief in the Song City.

In order to show sincerity, the Shang State should have declared war on the Daozhen faction at this time, and the army of our Shang State has also arrived and sailed into the land of the Chen State.

As for coming to wait for the Tang Emperor to come here, it is also the meaning of the Emperor, the little one doesn't know why, the little one has been waiting here for 7 days, and I didn't expect the Tang Emperor to really come here. ”

Tang Zhi: "The Emperor thought well, he didn't think that if this battle failed?"

The envoy of the Shang State said with a smile: "After the defeat, the Tang and Shang countries will cease to exist, and there will be only one Chen State in the state, and the feat of Tang Sanqi, the first emperor of the Tang State, will only be buried in the vast river of history." ”

Tang Zhi: "You can see it." ”

Envoy of Shang: "What can be done? Who made my emperor not like to live on his knees, but to die standing up." ”

Tang Zhi: "You are not optimistic about the Emperor?"

Envoy of the Shang State: "No, it's just that the Emperor is misunderstood by many people, and the Emperor wants to make the people of the Shang State no longer slaves of the sect, and those untouchables actually don't support him but scold him behind his back."

They believe that the sect is invincible, and they would rather live on their knees than stand up and resist.

The emperor didn't do it, for the sake of the freedom of this group of untouchables, and even put his life on the line. ”

Tang Zhi: "Everything the Emperor has done is indeed not worth it, and regardless of this merit or demerits, whether it is right or wrong, Emperor Xuan is an emperor worthy of respect."

What is your name. ”

Shang envoy: "The little one's name is Shen Xiaobao."

Since Emperor Tang promised to send troops to attack Chen, the little one will also go back to restore his life. ”

Shen Xiaobao, the national teacher of the Shang State, has the same status in the Shang State as Qin Gui back then.

But I didn't expect to speak so politely, there was no arrogance at all, as an envoy from other countries, he didn't have to kneel, but he knelt down to Tang Zhi.

Tang Zhi felt that this person was not ordinary, of course, how could he be an ordinary character if he could achieve the position of the national teacher of the Shang State.

Tang Zhi: "Go back, I am also going to march to the Chen State, and after I go back, I will bring a message to the Emperor, if this battle is won, I will make an appointment with the Emperor on the real mountain, under the towering tree, and drink and talk." ”

The towering tree is a very famous ancient tree on Daozhen Mountain, and many Daozhen sect powers have enlightened and sealed gods under this tree.

Shen Xiaobao rode on his big black panther, waved his hand to Tang Zhi and said, "Be sure to bring it." ”

Tang Zhi took the tiger talisman and called out 5,000 dragon and tiger riders from Xiang Qi, and Xiang Qi told Tang Zhi that when he hit the Daozhen faction, the remaining 15,000 dragon and tiger riders would also arrive as scheduled.

The Emperor left them a teleportation array, which could directly teleport the dragon and tiger horses of the ancient battlefield to Daozhen Mountain.
