Chapter 499 - Semi-Hidden Door
When I returned to the Assassin's Mansion that night, people from Chang'an City had arrived, and there were hundreds of them, of which nearly half were officials above the sixth grade.
It is said that there will be people arriving one after another, and these have little to do with Li Zhi, after all, it involves specific local affairs, even if someone wants him to participate, he will get out in time.
Among the people who came, there was the familiar Pingzhun Ling Gongwei Gongji Tong.
To be precise, the Assassin's Mansion should be a state, and the governor of the state is called the Assassin's History, and each state will have six Cao, which are Gong, Cang, Hu, Law, Shi, and Bing.
Gong Wei came to serve as Si Gong Shen Military, also known as Gong Cao, because the Guangzhou Thorn Mansion belongs to Shangzhou, this person has been promoted from the seventh grade to the seventh grade, which is a small promotion.
Gong Cao's power was the most prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, and in addition to personnel, he was often able to communicate with Wen Yizhou in government affairs.
Gong Wei was the Pingzhun Order before, and he was in charge of the Eastern and Western Official Cities, and he wanted to transfer him here in order to give full play to his commercial management advantages.
Although the Canton Assassin no longer has the authority to manage port affairs, the relevant market is still burdensome, and because such a big event has just been born, it is inevitable that it will try its best to prevent local officials from participating in business.
Seeing Li Zhi, Gong Wei felt inexplicable, he was the first group to get acquainted with Li Zhi, and Li Zhi was only a small county marquis from Fengwu County.
Now not only his Zhengqing Wenqitang has grown into a unique synonym for luxury in Datang, but his identity has changed dramatically in just two years.
"How is my Zhengqing Wenqi Hall today? No one dares to make trouble, right? Li Zhi still thinks about his business first.
"How is that possible! Not only did General Li Yi go every three or five times, but the Ming Palace, the Jiancheng Palace, and the Chengcheng Palace, all sent light and dark guardianship points, which were the Nangong Forbidden Camp and set up sentry posts there. Not to mention the business, just the carriages and horses that transport goods stop in the courtyard early in the morning every day, and it is said that there are more than 10 carts in a day in the paper retail alone. ”
Li Zhi was very satisfied with Gong Wei's news, but this person didn't know that there were cultivators in the shadows of Zhengqing Wenqi Hall who were watching day and night, and there were even two grandmaster-level figures who were paying attention.
"One more piece of good news!"
Gong Wei pretended to be mysterious, which made Li Zhi look forward to it.
"When I came, someone asked me to tell me that the second lady, Princess Yuran, was happy, and it was less than two months!"
This unexpected news startled Li Zhi for a moment, and was replaced by a burst of ecstasy, subconsciously grabbed Gong Wei, and said urgently: "Brother Ji, can this news be confirmed?" ”
Gong Wei hissed in pain, and Li Zhi hurriedly apologized.
"If Brother Hongyi asked me to bring it, although that kid had known it before, he jumped three feet high when he told me, and he obviously didn't know it for a long time."
Li Zhideng understood that Gengkang Geng Hongyi was Yuran's cousin, and his family naturally knew about this kind of thing first, and when he revealed it to the outside world, he could only say it to his relatives.
He was a little at a loss for a moment, rubbing his hands together, walking back and forth in place, muttering something in his mouth.
Gong Wei first congratulated him, and then said: "Mr. Li, if there is no urgent matter, I will go back first, and it will only be a few days before I return!" ”
Li Zhi nodded again and again, raised his eyes, and saw Sun Simiao walking by with the copper kettle, and hurriedly greeted him loudly, looking very excited to say the happy news.
Sun Simiao laughed, "Then let's go back first!" This is not a trivial matter, and it is your first child, so you should pay attention to it anyway! I think so, tonight I will refine those pills overnight, and gather those people from the Western Regions early tomorrow morning to take them. Fuzhou sent another person, I think I will leave it to Mi Daren to think of a way. ”
Li Yi calmed down, "Well, those people from the Western Regions must be settled in advance, don't let the handover cause trouble again in the future." And the Bei family, the Sasher family, will go around tonight. ”
"Bringing the Sasher family, will it affect the itinerary?"
"It's okay to delay for a day or two, and we have to stop in Ezhou City, the realm improvement of that Yunyang Bo is very important, with him, I can rest assured that Tongyun Cave is there!"
"The Bei family is there to say hello, this time I go back, I estimate that I will rush back in a month, otherwise there will be any further delay, and your trip to Luoyang will be delayed."
"Why is this waiting for me? For a while, I felt that I was lacking in skills! ”
"Fortunately, we came out ahead of schedule and took a trip, otherwise the city envoy was officially established, and it wouldn't take months to go back and forth!"
"It's been nearly two months since I was on this trip, and I estimate that I won't be able to stay in Chang'an City for ten days and a half months, and there are still many places we haven't rushed to."
"Those who are not in a hurry, the key matters have been almost resolved, but there is some lack in the collection of the four treasures of the study."
"The emperor knows what happened in Guangzhou City, and he won't blame much."
"Okay, the Bejia and Sasher will go back quickly, and Rahman will be told by Sasher overnight."
Li Zhi hurriedly thanked Gong Wei again, shouted Fu Chen, jumped on the horse and disappeared.
Jiyuan stayed in the mansion and accompanied Sun Simiao to refine the pills, and before leaving, Li Zhi had already thrown him a bunch of the herbs he needed.
House of Sascher.
Seeing that Li Zhi, who had just left, returned again, he knew that something important had happened, and when he learned the reason, the husband and wife congratulated happily.
The two children had fallen asleep, and it was agreed that tomorrow time would be met, and Sarcher would be at home to take care of the children, and Kremai would rush to his father to report it.
At most, we will leave around noon tomorrow, and there are still a lot of trivial things to take care of.
After all, there are a lot of practical affairs to be explained, and the handover of port affairs after a month is a big problem, how to smooth the transition, but it is related to the future development of Guangzhou City.
In addition to Bei Yun, the head of the Bei family, Bei Zheng's father Bei Pin Bei Hanliang, the second uncle Bei Xing Bei Hanshan, the domestic servant Bei Manshan are all there, and there are several core members of the Bei family.
After talking about official business, Bei Pin talked about Bei Manshan: "Manshan will also go back with Mr. this time." Manshan, follow Mr. Li, remember to restrain your impatience, you can't be as casual as in the Bei family. ”
Bei Manshan is actually a few years old from Bei Xing, his family's surname is Zhang, because the elder is a housekeeper in the Bei family, he was also given the surname Bei, which is the most trusted person outside the surname Bei here.
His expression was a little lonely, not that he was unwilling to follow Li Zhi, but that he had a deep relationship with the Bei family.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "If you follow me, you will have three or five years, and you will come back when your cultivation is completely improved, and you will not bring your wife and children with you!" ”
Only then did Bei Manshan stabilize his mind, "I won't bring my family, this is my home, and I always have to return to my roots, and my old father is also old, so it's troublesome to toss back and forth!" ”
Bei Yun, who has always been calm, was also a little moved, because he knew that Bei Manshan was gone, and if he came back, it would not be the current situation, and it would be the legendary grandmaster realm.
"And the five third-level hunters that Mr. Li mentioned earlier?" Bei Xing asked tentatively.
Li Zhi laughed and said, "Just ask the second uncle to invite a few people to come to me to take a look, if it is suitable, they will be taken away together, and in two to three years, they will return to the Bei family!" ”
Bei Xing hurriedly got up and went to convene in person, and Bei Yun smiled and said, "Whether it is Bei Manshan or those five people, it doesn't hurt to stay with Mr. Li from now on." ”
"Then how can it be, if you say that you can help the Bei family improve their strength, there will be no more turmoil, not only will they return on time when the time comes, but they can also send another five people to Chang'an City. The Bei family is my spokesperson in Guangzhou, and cultivating strong people for you is also equivalent to helping yourself! ”
Li Zhi's words made many people in the Pei family secretly grateful, and Bei Yun suddenly remembered something: "Didn't Gan Yinghao say that he would rush to visit Mr. Eat Thorn Mansion tonight?" ”
"I don't think we have arrived yet, have we? I had just rushed back when I was shocked to hear of the great event, and I hurried to it, but I did not ask if any guest had ever looked for me. ”
If Bei Yun didn't mention it, Li Zhi would almost forget about it.
"Mr. Li also has to be mentally prepared in advance, the head of the Gan family is likely to be related to the Qiguan family, don't look at the Qiguan family only three generations will appear on the street, but their family industry is also deeply involved in the Guangzhou business circle, knowing that you can't grab more business in your hands, it is very likely to move out to support the mountain."
Bei Yun deliberately reminded him, and Bei Pin followed up and added: "Don't forget Mr. Li's identity, just like that, the Qi Guan family can't help but show up, according to my estimate, it will even be the second generation of the Qi Guan family!" ”
"The Qiguan family is so mysterious, has the head of the Pei family ever heard of it, and there is a legend of a profound cultivator among their clansmen?" Li Zhi asked.
"Mr. Li just doesn't ask, I'm going to talk about it too, I originally planned to find out if the official family appeared tonight, since Mr. is going to rush back to Chang'an City tomorrow, I'll just talk about it directly!"
With that, Bei Yun's body involuntarily moved forward in his seat, showing the importance of his next words:
"As early as when I was young, I heard that there were several masters in the Qi official family, and according to reliable sources, there were second-level masters in their family forty years ago, but there were five of them. Five second-level masters, Mr. Li Kezeng; What comes to mind? ”
Li Zhi took a hesitant breath, "The only explanation that can be found out is that the Qi Guanjia is deliberately showing their strength. Moreover, behind all the second-level masters, there will be first-level and third-level existences, which means that the Qiguan family has a relationship with a certain cultivation sect, or that the Qiguan family is originally a cultivator family, and it has existed for a long time! ”
Bei Yun nodded, "Back at that time, a few years after the head of the family, Qi Guanzuo, returned to his ancestral land, the reputation of the Qi Guan family in Yuncheng was not prominent, but their business began to develop towards Guangzhou. At that time, various families led by the Guangzhou Rong family also came forward to block the related business of the Qi official family. It didn't take long for the news to spread, and the families died down, but just once, and no similar news has ever appeared again. ”
Li Zhihui replied in an affirmative tone, "It won't be bad, the Qi official family is a semi-hidden force!" Before and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there would be a type of person like the identity of a national teacher, and after the government was stabilized, he would practice in retreat, which should be the actual inside story. ”
Li Zhi's mouth was very solemn, worried that he didn't have much worry about it, and if he could get involved in the war in the secular world, he would not be a real hidden force.
Only the hidden sect forces will have a slight relationship with the cultivation realm, and the semi-hidden sect is for him, I am afraid that it will be a problem for those who have the realm of grandmasters, and this kind of existence is similar to the Tianzhu Mountain Yulin Temple and the Duyuan Temple, which should not be as good as the Tianhuo Village and Qiantian Temple, which are currently recognized by the cultivation world, and the most powerful cultivation forces.
Even if it is the Hidden Sect Force, Li Zhi does not think that there will be many Grandmaster Realms, unless they have a secret space similar to the Chaoyuan Secret Realm, and there are spiritual veins in it.
Otherwise, with the current situation of aura in the world, no matter how talented a cultivator is, he can't have enough aura to absorb it, so how can there be so many grandmasters.
Moreover, Li Zhi deeply knew that a grandmaster's extremely strong mentality, just as strong as himself, it was a kind of strong man's mind that could not be bullied by external forces.
If he is replaced, his business will be hit for no reason, and he will come to the door that night to vent.
Then there is the Great Perfection of the third-level master, compared to the Grandmaster realm, there is still a huge transformation in the mentality of the strong.
Maybe before that, I will be very afraid of the suppression that may come from the imperial court, once I achieve the Grandmaster Realm, the momentum of who else will appear in my heart at once, but I don't care too much about threats such as suppression, because I already have the strength to get out safely.
