Li Ping'an is not a four-rank martial artist in the ordinary sense, and the power of this Kunlun slave is extremely great. When he has not yet cultivated in his body, he can lift a stone lock of 2,000 catties.

And now Li Ping'an, who is the fourth rank of the True Yuan, is even enough to compete with the martial arts cultivation of the second rank in terms of strength. This time, he even has a certain amount of martial arts true intent, which can simulate a divine beast in Li Ping'an's hometown, releasing a tiger-like momentum, and exerting his own 'strength' and 'swiftness' to the extreme.

Although this is not the top-level martial arts true intent, it is not comparable to Li Shimin's true spirit of light and thunder, but it is also above the level of most people.

Therefore, in terms of strength alone, Li Ping'an is not inferior to the average three-grade general. And this person will have a lot of room for growth in the future.

It's a pity that, according to the dumb servant, Li Ping'an's body structure is slightly different from that of the Central Plains. Although he had chosen the most suitable exercise for Li Ping'an, after all, there were some differences in the position of the acupoints and meridians, and he could not cultivate them to the extreme. Therefore, this Kunlun slave has no possibility of cultivating to the realm of supergrade in this life.

Although Li Shimin feels regretful, he can accept it. With Li Ping'an's strength and talent, even if he only has a first-grade realm, it is very strong.

The second good news after Li Ping'an came from the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain. The contemporary master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Zhang Xuanyang, the master of the first day, still attaches great importance to Zhang Yurou's lineage, although he can't go to Luoyang in person for the time being, he has brought Zhang Yurou's identity token and a heavy treasure, which is a gift to Zhang Yurou. And promised to come to Luoyang within two months at most to hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony to show solemnity.

In addition, the four third-grade magicians promised by Zhang Kongming also arrived in Luoyang at the same time - Zhang Kongming did not open his mouth, these are all genuine true disciples under the sect of Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Yurou naturally did not hesitate, so she temporarily lent these four disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to Li Shimin. This also greatly increased Li Shimin's confidence, and he was ready to officially launch an operation against the Demon Dragon Babu.

In the past few days since he returned to Luoyang, he has not only been recruiting. Li Shimin had already had a preliminary plan, and he had been detecting the traces of the Demon Dragon Babu. It's just that he feels that his strength is insufficient, so he can't bear it.

Now the power in his hands has increased greatly, and he has let go of all fears.

※ ※ ※ ※

Three days later, next to the Luohe River in the east of Luoyang City, Li Shimin took a clairvoyant mirror and looked at a cargo ship on the wharf in the distance.

"It looks like a good cargo ship from the Tiger Warehouse, but are you sure those goods are hidden here?"

Li Shimin asked Sikong who was standing beside him at the moment to ward off evil spirits, and the latter raised his eyebrows slightly: "Our Divine Machine Gate has been tracking down these organs for a long time, and we know their sales channels well, and we will never provide false news to you, Lord Kaifu." However, after all, this is the ship of the Tiger Warehouse, and Lord Kaifu is really going to do something to this ship?"

There was a reason why he was so surprised, behind the Tiger Warehouse, but the number one gang force in Luoyang City, the Tiger Roaring Hall, was behind it were several princes and ministers.

The ship they were eyeing at this time was also a very important part of Luoyang's Black Market Ship City.

Their actions are no different from poking a hornet's nest.

"Of course you have to check, pass on my orders, let Fan Shixing and them do it, the speed must be fast!"

Li Shimin said as he said with a very flat expression and withdrew the clairvoyant mirror in his hand into his sleeve: "Otherwise, when will this case be investigated?

It was precisely because he knew that this kind of move was dangerous that Li Shimin still spent a lot of money to invite the first King Kong Hall of Shaolin Temple when he was escorted by three first-class masters by his side.

However, this is just a precaution, Li Shimin expects that with his current situation, unless he directly does it against the black market ship city, or does it too much. Otherwise, even if he acted out of line, most of the court bigwigs standing behind the tiger warehouse would not do anything to him.

After all, the timing is too sensitive, and anyone who dares to do something to him at the moment may be labeled as participating in the rebellion.

And with Li Shimin's order, a large number of embroidered guards and forbidden troops suddenly poured out from the dense forest.

——The former is Li Shimin's newly recruited subordinates, there are about thirty people, all of whom are reliable and credible people, and the forbidden army is about two hundred people, who are directly transferred from the Great Cause Hall and Xuanjia under Li Shimin's command.

This is the advantage of his multi-tasking, without notifying any superiors, he can directly draw soldiers from the forbidden army under his command, and there is less danger of leaking the news.

The men on the ship were visibly startled by the battle, but no sooner had they hoisted the sails than an arrow flew at them, breaking the mast. Then, in just thirty moments, these soldiers and horses under Li Shimin's command had already poured onto the deck of this ship.

Fan Shixing, who was covered in bandages, led people to inspect the whole ship up and down as soon as possible - this was to prevent the fire from hiding in the boat.

The Demon Dragon Babu has a large number of *, and there are lessons from the embroidered clothes guard, so it is indeed necessary to guard against it

At this time, a shopkeeper-like figure was escorted by several embroidered guards and came to Li Shimin's side. This person's face was swollen and red, and his expression seemed to be very annoyed, but his tone was respectful: "Dare to ask Lord Kaifu, what do you want to do? Even if it's Tiger Roaring Hall, it seems that there is no place to offend adults recently?"

Li Shimin squinted at the tiger warehouse shopkeeper with cold eyes, and then didn't continue to deal with it.

Didn't he know that the biggest shareholder behind the Tiger Warehouse was the Duke of Chu? And Yang Xuangan's participation in that rebellion a few days ago was almost a sure thing.

As one of the minions of the Duke of Chu, this tiger warehouse was involved after all. What kind of big-tailed wolf does this shopkeeper of the Tiger Barn have in front of him?

Fan Shixing's movements were very fast, and after about a quarter of an hour, he disembarked with a lot of physical evidence. In addition to the mechanism devices identified by the Divine Machine Gate and derived from the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, there is actually an account book.

Li Shimin thought that his luck was really good this time, he flipped through it seemingly casually, and then sneered: "I remember that your surname is Xu, and your name is Xu Dashan, right?"

He directly threw the ledger in front of the shopkeeper: "These forbidden things, I don't know if your tiger warehouse may give me an explanation?"

That Xu Dashan glanced at the many organs and devices that Fan Shixing brought down, and then frowned: "What Lord Kaifu means, I don't understand the grass people very well. ”

After all, if you want to say that it is forbidden, most of the things on their ships are contraband legal by the imperial court. Such as salt, iron, ink armor, all kinds of weapons, etc., are strictly forbidden by the imperial court to buy and sell in the people.

"You're going to play dumb with me, aren't you?"

Li Shimin's eyes condensed slightly, and a faint trace of killing intent was revealed in it: "If that's the case, then there is no need for you and I to talk about it anymore." ”

Fan Shixing could already guess Li Shimin's mind from his demeanor and tone. At this time, as soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, he knew that this person really had murderous intentions, and he did not hesitate, he directly pulled out his knife from the sheath, and stared at the back of Xu Dashan's neck with a wolf-like gaze.

The latter's expression was also tight, his face changed slightly, and then when he spoke again, he was much more honest: "Your Highness, the origin of these things." There is something I don't understand. In fact, as early as seven days ago, someone above said that there might be a problem with these goods and they could not be sold for the time being. Therefore, these things have been stored in the warehouse of our ship for a long time, and they have not been restocked later. ”

"I want to know who the seller is, and where do you get the goods?"

Li Shimin continued to ask: "Tell everything you know, this can save you some flesh and skin suffering." ”

"It's a manor in the west of the city, and the seller is the owner of the manor there, named Jia Yuanlong. However, I guess it's a pseudonym, and we still don't know the origin of this person. It's only because the mechanism devices sold by this person are well-made and the price is much cheaper than that of the god machine gate, so I have cooperation with them. ”

Since Xu Dashan opened his mouth, he knew everything, said everything, and sold his partner cleanly: "If Lord Kaifu wants to track it down, I can draw pictures for Lord Kaifu here, and even help you." ”

Li Shimin was not interested, he would definitely track it down, but he estimated that most of this guy named Jia Yuanlong had already run away.

"And what's the matter with the sulfur in this ledger, and to whom did you sell it?"

"It's a dozen mystery buyers who don't know their identity. ”

Xu Dashan's expression became more respectful: "They are buying in batches, and the amount of each time is very small, so we didn't pay attention to it at first. It was not until recently that I learned of the Luohe fire and explosion case in the east of the city, as well as the winter hunting conspiracy case, that the trading of sulfur and saltpeter was strictly controlled. Lord Kaifu, you can check our accounts, in the last twenty days, not a pound or a tael of sulfur saltpeter has been sold from our hands. There is also food, and since we learned that the embroidered guards were tracking down a large number of grain transactions, we have been cautious and cautious. All buyers with more than 10 stone have recorded their identities, all of them are innocent people with clean backgrounds, and they are well documented. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, the ghost knows if all the transactions in this tiger warehouse are all recorded in this account book?

But it doesn't matter, what he really wants, in fact, has already been obtained.

It's just that he still has a cold face next: "Other than that, there is nothing else to say, do you want to tell me? Don't tell me that you tiger warehouse, that's all you know?"

Xu Dashan suddenly frowned again: "Lord Kaifu, the daily turnover of our Tiger Warehouse is as high as 500,000 guan, of which there are no less than 20 guests with a transaction amount of more than 10,000 guan. Forgive the grass people for their ignorance, and they can't guess the intentions of the Kaifu adults. However, no matter what adults want to know, even if it is clearly stated to the grass people, Xu must know everything and say everything. ”
