Chapter 358: Kansai Wealth

"If that's the case, then you and I will have to go to Daxing City. ”

Li Shimin said as he looked in the direction of Kansai from afar.

——In the case that Zhang Zhongjian could not be present, he was bound to go all out in the face of an opponent like Xue Ju, the overlord of the Western Qin. Luo Li, Yuan Tianhao, Shi Benwu and other high-level combat forces around him are indispensable.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly extremely dangerous for him to stay alone in Luoyang.

"To Daxing City?"

Zhang Yurou frowned slightly: "But what should I do here in Luoyang?

"We went to Daxing just to investigate the case. The Kansai area is the world's first-class prosperous place, and only Jiangnan can match it. If the Demon Dragon Babu wants to raise funds, it is bound to be unable to go around the west. ”

Li Shimin said thoughtfully: "I even suspect that Xue Ju of Jincheng, Li Liang of Liangzhou, Wuwei Liang Shidu and others are all so-called 'Mohu Luojia'. So tomorrow I will ask Your Majesty for an order to find a way for Your Majesty to give me full authority to thoroughly investigate all the financial resources of the Demon Dragon Eight Divisions in Kansai-"

Before Li Shimin's words fell, Zhang Yurou couldn't help but cast a strange gaze at him: "Mohuluojia?"

"It's the Maharaja of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, or the Earth Dragons. ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't you?"

Zhang Yurou couldn't help but be speechless, thinking to herself, isn't this just a fake public benefit, abuse of power, and retaliation against their enemies?

Is there a problem on the Son of Heaven's side? Will Li Shimin really grant him such authority to will?

You know, they don't have any evidence at all now, and with the eyes and ears of the embroidered guard, how can they not know that there is a conflict between Li Shimin and Xue Ju now?

"It's not that you can't, it's just that I feel that our Great Cause Emperor may not be able to make you wish. And—"

"Are you worried that after the Son of Heaven learns the truth, not only will he not give me authority, but it may also affect the Son of Heaven's trust in me?"

Li Shimin saw Zhang Yurou put on a solemn and solemn look, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "If that's the case, then you are very wrong." I can bet with you Yurou that most of the Son of Heaven doesn't know Xue Ju now. Even if they knew it, most of them thought that this person was just a small local tyrant in Jincheng, and it was not worth it. As for the conflict between me and Xue Ju, I can't reach the emperor of Heaven at all. So I'm even sure that even if the Son of Heaven learns the truth, he will be on my side. ”

When he said this, he paused again, and his eyes were quiet: "Don't think that I just want to take revenge for personal gain, and go to Daxing City to thoroughly investigate the financial resources of the Demon Dragon Babu, I can't be more serious." ”

At this time, Zhang Yurou was satisfied with doubts.

Thinking to himself, the Son of Heaven didn't know who Xue Ju was? How could this be? Aren't those people who embroider clothes loyal to the Son of Heaven?

Needless to say, the previous Tang Yuanhua directly gave his life in order to stop Shi Wansui's resentful soul.

And the current embroidery ambassador Wang Chonggu is also loyal to the Son of Heaven, not inferior to Tang Yuanhua. Zhang Yurou believes that this person is even willing to be the Son of Heaven at a critical time.

But why did Li Shimin think that the Son of Heaven was still in a state of half-understanding about Xue Ju?

"I'll take care of the matter of the request, you don't need to care. What is the truth, Yurou, you will naturally know it when you wait until tomorrow. ”

Next, Li Shimin looked at a talisman on Zhang Yurou's waist. It was supposed to be made from the tooth of the Ancient Dragon, which was similar in texture to ivory, but stronger. The runes burned on it are mainly banned, and they also have the ability to derive the void, and there are hidden meanings inside.

Li Shimin guessed that this thing was most likely the Dao soldier talisman made for Zhang Yurou by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.

"But you, the keel dao soldier, when will you give it to me to measure? This trip to Kansai is only more dangerous than the previous winter hunt. Until then, I'd like to assemble your soldier's special ink armor as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Yurou's dragon bone dao soldiers are extremely powerful, if they are paired with a suitable ink armor, then their overall strength, even in the face of strong people like Luo Li and Shi Benwu, can have the power to fight.

Li Shimin was very worried about Zhang Yurou's personal safety after going to Kansai. But if there is such a dragon bone Dao soldier to protect him, Zhang Yurou's overall combat power will not be much inferior to him.

But the problem is that Li Shimin still doesn't know the specific abilities of this Dao soldier, and he doesn't know anything about the strength, speed, reflexes, and even bone strength, spirit strength, height, weight, etc.

So now, although according to Zhang Yurou's description, he has designed a rough design drawing and purchased the corresponding parts.

But because he has never had close contact with this dragon bone dao soldier and has made precise measurements, Li Shimin has never dared to assemble this ink armor.

In his opinion, this is not something to be embarrassed about. But after Zhang Yurou heard this, she hesitated for a while. It wasn't until a moment later that she untied the dragon tooth talisman from her waist and handed it into Li Shimin's hands.

"It's okay to leave it to you, but you have to remember Erlang. I have set up a layer of talisman prohibition on the outer layer of this soldier's spirit, which is the key to this secret art that I am cultivating now, but it must not be damaged. If you cause me to fail in the end, I will not give up with you!"

Li Shimin was stunned for a while, and then his pupils condensed slightly, showing a bit of suspicion.

Zhang Yurou's words sounded fine, but they made him secretly suspicious. Secretly wondering about Zhang Yurou's dragon bone dao soldier, is there anything else that can't be done?

And then he thought that in the past few days, Zhang Yurou's attitude towards this dragon bone Dao soldier has always been very strange. Although he was entrusted with assembling the ink armor, he had been delaying on the grounds of cultivating the secret method, and refused to hand over the dragon bone dao soldiers to him.

Li Shimin thought to himself, could this keel Dao soldier have some secrets that can't be known, so that Zhang Yurou is so secretive about him?

※ ※ ※ ※

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Shimin wrote seven letters in a row in his study, and together with the tokens, handed them over to several reliable messengers to take to Kansai.

They all walked through the back door and left through the Luo River waterway. Li Shimin has asked people to build a secret passage here, which can go straight to the bottom of the Luo River.

After these messengers had gone through the tunnel, they only had to dive to the middle of the river, a few hundred feet away, and they would be met by boats.

Li Shimin believes that at this time, the area around his other courtyard has also been watched, and even comprehensively monitored.

Since Xue Ju's people were able to forcibly cut off the connection between Jiuquanzhuang and Luoyang, then presumably his side of the courtyard would not be missed by the other party.

Of course, this is just Li Shimin's speculation, and there is no evidence to support it. But even if it's just for the sake of safety, he can't let go of such a hand. Just because of these letters, he was extremely crucial in his next war with Xue Ju, and he must not be lost.

After that, he left the courtyard, accompanied by Zhang Yurou, and visited several uncles whose homes were in Luobin, Shangshan, Jishan, and Jingshan.

This is the closest to the imperial city of Luoyang four squares, these four squares plus the back of the text, cultivation, morality, doctrine and other squares, is the Great Sui Dynasty, the most noble of those princes and ministers of the residence.

At this time, the money that Zhang Yurou sent to Li Shimin was also spent. In just two hours, nearly 1.2 million pieces were used.

Although this is not his own money, Li Shimin still feels extremely painful. Every silver or gold ticket sent out made him feel uncomfortable. Zhang Yurou didn't care, but her expression was mostly excited.

She can be regarded as having seen the influence of the martial arts Li clan in the court. This family is only in Luoyang City, and there are as many as ten old protégés with official positions above the fifth grade, and the in-laws of the Li family are even more intertwined to the point of jaw-dropping.

Of course, Li Shimin's own prince left guard rate, and the identity of the embroidered general, also played a role, and it was very important.

is like that Feng Deyi, although this person is at least young with his father Li Yuan. But if Li Shimin is only Li Yuan's son-in-law, he can't speak in front of this dignified inner historian.

"I guess if Xue Ju could know what you did today, he would definitely regret offending you. ”

When the two walked out of the mansion of the imperial historian Pei Yun, Zhang Yurou looked at Li Shimin with admiration.

The latter made her see a completely different method of fighting in the rivers and lakes, and a move aimed directly at Xue Ju's henchmen.

"First of all, most of the things this time are not Xue Ju's own intentions, but his eldest son with the name of 'Little Overlord' acted arbitrarily. Second, you're rejoicing too soon. It's just a deposit, and we're going to have to bleed a lot. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Third, we have money, and Xue Ju also has it." The name of the martial arts Li clan is indeed worth a little money with my face, but if the other side is willing to make a bid, it is still possible to turn the situation back. These official words are two mouths, but they are not just talking. Using the power of officials to fight competitors can certainly achieve miraculous results in many cases, but it may also hurt oneself and be knocked out by these high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Fourth, I am not without opponents in the DPRK and China. ”

"Opponent? is it the Duke of Chu Mansion?"

"Although Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, has been snubbed by the Son of Heaven for a long time, his father's protégés and disciples are all over the world, which is not comparable to our family. ”

Li Shimin's expression was solemn: "If he wants to be my enemy, these people we looked for before are not enough to rely on." ”

What is really tricky is the power of the Duke of Chu in the court, which merges with Xue Ju's money. The latter's wealth, although not as rich as Qinglong Villa, can also casually take out millions of forces.

"But I'm sure you have a way, don't you?"

Zhang Yurou was obviously full of confidence in him, and looked unconcerned: "Don't worry, we don't have anything else in Qinglong Villa, and the money is enough." The 1.2 million guan you spend now can't even invite a first-grade martial artist."

Li Shimin was speechless for a moment, Zhang Yurou was good at everything else, that is, his self-confidence in silver money had repeatedly dealt blows to him.

But after thinking for a while, he still asked with a solemn expression: "Yurou, you are willing to pay, I naturally have nothing to say." However, I still want to ask you one more question here, did you mean that as long as you can make Xue Ju pay the price, then there is no cap on the amount of funds I can use?"
