Chapter 409: A Gift to Calm Anger

After Liu Ji returned to the camp of the Broken Army outside the city, he asked people to erect two new tents next to his tent, and temporarily placed Gu Xiaowan, Dong Hongyu, Ma Shishi and Cheng Xiaoxiao in these two tents.

Although these four women were given to Liu Ji as a gift by Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, the four women were from the Jin Kingdom after all, unlike those women of the Holy Fire Sect, who were in a hostile relationship with Liu Ji when they fell into the hands of Liu Ji.

For his enemies, Liu Ji has never been soft-hearted, and he will go straight to the point, but the situation of Gu Xiaowan's four daughters is different, Liu Ji is not ready to eat them immediately, anyway, they are already meat in the bowl, or wait for each other to understand each other better, so that the taste can be more delicious when eating.

Then Liu Ji summoned Yang Zaixing, the commander of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Legion, Deng Yu, the commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion, Wu Anguo, the commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Native Legion, Fan Xu, the commander of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Legion, and Dian Wei, the commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Guards Legion, to his tent and told him about the interception.

The hot-tempered Fan Xu immediately said angrily: "Please give the Lord an order to let the First Cavalry Brigade of our Guards Legion enter Canglong City and kill all those gangsters who assassinated the Lord Gong!" ”

Yang Zaixing followed and said angrily: "Lord, our First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Legion is willing to go together!" ”

Liu Ji waved his hand and said: "The matter has not yet reached that point, I called you over, just to let you know about this matter, strengthen the defense of our camp, it seems that on this side of the capital, there are really a lot of people who look at this general who are not pleasing to the eye, as for that Li Yifeng and those Wudang Mountain disciples led by him, let's see what the imperial court has to say." ”

Fang Xuanling, who was next to Liu Ji, frowned and said: "Lord, since that Li Yifeng is the youngest son of the hussar general Li Hong and a personal disciple of Wudang Mountain, maybe the imperial court may take a peaceful approach to this matter." ”

The cold light in Liu Ji's eyes flashed, "Want to settle things?" It depends on whether General Ben is willing or not! ”

Jia Xu said at this time: "Lord, it can be seen from Dou Chong's attitude today that the news that the Queen Mother is going to marry Princess Xiangcheng to the Lord Princess, it should not have spread yet, and that Li Yifeng can know this news, it is likely that there is some conspiracy in it, but unfortunately the power of Heishuitai in Canglong City is too weak, and there are not many things we can know, but if there is a conspiracy, the Thirteenth Family will definitely find out the conspiracy and tell the lord in order to clear up the relationship!" ”

Liu Ji nodded, thinking that what Jia Xu said was very reasonable, after all, Li Yifeng belonged to the children of the Thirteenth Family, if there were other conspiracies in this matter, in order to give themselves an explanation, the Thirteenth Family would definitely find out the conspiracy in this matter, and then explain it to themselves.

Then Liu Ji turned his head and said to Fan Xu, Dian Wei, Yang Zaixing, Deng Yu and Wu Anguo: "You immediately gather the generals under your command to convey the assassination of this general, from tonight onwards, the camp must be around the camp day and night to avoid patrols, this assassination and the people of Wudang Mountain have mixed in, as one of the four major sects in the East, Wudang Mountain, we must pay attention to it!" ”

Then Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and said to Jia Xu: "Immediately send someone to contact the Heishuitai secret agents in Canglong City to check on the situation of Princess Xiangcheng!" ”

The name of the beauty of Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei is mostly spread among the children of the Dajin family and the children of wealthy families, Liu Ji really has not heard of Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei before, and now the Empress Dowager of the Great Jin Dynasty wants to marry Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei to herself, Liu Ji of course has to know whether Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei is beautiful or ugly.

Originally, after the dinner in Dou Mansion, the important ministers of the court who came to attend the dinner had already said goodbye to Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, but these important ministers of the court had not returned to their respective mansions, so they were sent by Dou Yan to find Dou Mansion.

In a conference hall in Dou Mansion, Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of War, Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Zhihuan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Boran, the chief lieutenant of the Criminal Department, Sun Mingtao, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Works, Zheng Kai, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Households, Han Renji, the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers, Wu Ziyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Shunran, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Chen Sikai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xiao Su, the general of the hussars, after listening to the narration of Dou Yan's nephew Dou Pet and Dou Yan's other nephew, the general of the Che Cavalry, the faces of the eleven important ministers of the court were not very good-looking.

"That kid from the Li family is too nonsense! If Liu Ji is really killed by him, the more than 2 million broken captives of the Western Regions Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate are likely to rebel immediately, and then our Great Jin will be completely chaotic! Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the ministry, said angrily.

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, sighed, "Fortunately, Liu Ji has nothing to do, but it is the Wudang Mountain disciples brought by Li Yifeng who have suffered heavy losses, otherwise the consequences are really not something that our Great Jin can afford." ”

Wang Zhihuan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, asked at this time: "Dou Taiwei, look at Liu Ji, how should our court explain?" ”

Dou Yan frowned and said: "If Li Yifeng and the surviving Wudang Mountain disciples are handed over to Liu Ji for disposal, it can completely calm Liu Ji's anger, but Li Yifeng is the son of the hussar general Li Hong, the grandson of Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, and Wudang Mountain is currently an ally of our thirteenth family, so things will not be easy to do, Li Yifeng still has the surviving Wudang Mountain disciples, and it must not be handed over to Liu Ji." ”

At this moment, a housekeeper of the Dou Mansion announced outside the door of the council hall that Li Chongwen, the patriarch of the Li family, had come and wanted to see Dou Yan.

When Dou Yan heard this, he immediately asked the housekeeper to bring Li Chongwen, the patriarch of the Li family, to the council room.

After Li Chongwen, the patriarch of the Li family, walked into the council hall, he saw that many ministers of the imperial court were there, and immediately spoke: "It just so happens that all the adults are here, the old man went to see my confused grandson just now, and I learned from him that the news that the queen mother was going to marry Princess Xiangcheng to Liu Ji was told by Shen Muqing, a disciple of the master of Tianxuan Palace in Guanghan Palace, obviously this is a conspiracy of Guanghan Palace against our Great Jin, but my confused grandson, because...... I lost my mind, and I made such a big fuss, and the old man couldn't compensate the adults! ”

"It's the ghost of Guanghan Palace again! Captain Dou, you can't let the people of Guanghan Palace run rampant like this anymore, otherwise it will become more and more difficult for the imperial court to suppress the counterinsurgency in the southeastern states, if it weren't for the fact that Guanghan Palace sent a number of fierce generals to join the Red Turban Army that rebelled against Zhang Mingqi, the hussar general Li Hong and the hussar general He Guangzong, they would not have been defeated again and again! Hussar General Xiao Su said excitedly.

As soon as Li Chongwen, the patriarch of the Li family, heard the words of the hussar general Xiao Su, he then echoed and said: "General Xiao's words are reasonable, since the Guanghan Palace has stood on the side of the rebellious Zhang Mingqi, the old man does not need to be polite when he looks at the imperial court, he should immediately let the disciples of the Guanghan Palace be cleared from all over the country, and let the Guanghan Palace know that our Great Jin Imperial Court is not easy to bully!" ”

"No! Guanghan Palace, as the head of the four major sects in the world, has an unusually strong background, and now although Guanghan Palace is on the side of the rebellious Zhang Mingqi, but Guanghan Palace has not completely torn its face with our Great Jin Imperial Court, if we take thunderous measures against the disciples of Guanghan Palace, then there will be no room for maneuver, once Guanghan Palace does its best to be the enemy of our Great Jin Dynasty, maybe the place where the Great Jin Dynasty is in chaos will be more than the seven states in the southeast. Zhao Boran, the chief lieutenant of the Criminal Department, immediately said in a deep voice as soon as the words of Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, fell.

Then Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, sighed and said: "Guanghan Palace has developed in our Great Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, and its power in the Great Jin Dynasty is not even worse than Wudang Mountain, it is precisely for this reason that our imperial court knows that Guanghan Palace is on the side of the rebellious Zhang Mingqi, and has not taken any measures, just as Zhao Taiwei said, the old man is worried that the whole body will be affected, and the imperial court will cause more rebellions if it moves against the Guanghan Palace, alasβ€”β€”"

Li Chongwen, the patriarch of the Li family, said urgently: "Taiwei Dou, that can't let the Guanghan Palace act like this, this time my grandson can be pitted by the people of the Guanghan Palace, that Liu Ji is definitely not a good talker!" ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, pondered for a while and said: "The old man pondered, you can reveal the conspiracy that Guanghan Palace made this time to Liu Ji, with Liu Ji's character, he should not give up, it is best to let Liu Ji teach Guanghan Palace a lesson, what do you think?" ”

Li Chongwen, the patriarch of the Li family, suddenly said with a smile: "Taiwei Dou, this idea is good!" In this matter, my grandson is also a victim, and he was used as a gun by the people of Guanghan Palace, Liu Ji should go to the people of Guanghan Palace to take revenge! ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, glanced at Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Li, after all, this matter was provoked by Li Yifeng, it is best for Brother Li to take the initiative to send someone to reconcile with Liu Ji, like Liu Ji, a general with heavy troops, our thirteenth family must do our best to win over, and we must not push Liu Ji to the royal family for some ridiculous reasons." ”

After a pause, Dou Yan continued to Li Chongwen: "Liu Ji is only eighteen years old this year, and he is still strong in blood, if Brother Li can give him some beauties, it must not be a problem to reconcile with him, and some of the businesses run by the Li family happen to be not short of beauties." ”

Li Chongwen, the patriarch of the Li family, clasped his fists and said to Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the military department: "Don't worry, Captain Dou, since this incident was caused by my grandson, our Li family will settle Liu Ji no matter what, and it will not affect Liu Ji's relationship with our thirteenth family because of this matter!" ”

Han Renji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, suddenly asked Dou Yan: "Captain Dou, how should we deal with the matter that the Queen Mother wants to marry Princess Xiangcheng to Liu Ji?" The Queen Mother's meaning of doing this is too obvious! ”

Dou Yan sneered and said: "The old man will never agree to marry Princess Xiangcheng to Liu Ji, after all, Liu Ji already has a wife that Ming Media is marrying." ”

Wu Ziyu, the secretary of the ministry, said with a little worry: "If the queen mother insists on marrying Princess Xiangcheng to Liu Ji, she can give a decree to make Princess Xiangcheng and Liu Ji's wife equal in status, but there has been such a precedent in our dynasty, and the beauty of Princess Xiangcheng is the best in Canglong City, which must be very attractive to Liu Ji, if Liu Ji also insists on marrying, our thirteenth family will not be able to stop it." ”

Dou Yan waved his hand indifferently and said: "No matter how beautiful Princess Xiangcheng is, she is just a woman, and now the old man has given Liu Ji the four top names of Suzhou Qinhuaicheng, Brother Li must have given Liu Ji some beauties in order to settle this matter, even if so many beauties are not as good as Princess Xiangcheng in terms of appearance, but they are only slightly inferior, and the Queen Mother's wishful thinking will not be so easy to start." ”

After Li Chongwen, the patriarch of the Li family, left the Dou Mansion, he returned to the Li family's mansion in Canglong City, and he didn't care that it was already the second half of the night, and immediately found the two stewards who were in charge of the Li family's business in Canglong City.

Li Chongwen asked the two stewards Li Gu and Li Ran in a deep voice: "How many of the Qinglou you are responsible for can be called a stunning Qingqi?" ”

Although Li Gu and Li Ran were a little puzzled, how could the patriarch suddenly care about the matter of the Qinglou, you must know that the business of the Li family's Qinglou in the past, the patriarch never asked, but since the patriarch asked, the two of them still quickly said the truth.

"Tell the patriarch, the villain is responsible for Wanhualou, Chunfeng Pavilion, and Yicui Garden, each with a top brand Qingqi who can be called stunning, respectively, Qin Yuechan of Wanhualou, Lu Xiangru of Chunfeng Pavilion, and Wang Jingxiang of Yicui Garden." Li Gu said respectfully.

Then Li Ran also said respectfully: "Tell the patriarch that the villain is responsible for the Zuihualou, Xunfang Pavilion, and Yingchun Courtyard, and each has a top-notch Qingqi who can be called stunning, namely Shu Yuting of the Zuihualou, Shi Jiezhen of Xunfang Pavilion, and Pan Tingting of Yingchun Courtyard. ”

Li Chongwen clapped his hands and said, "It's just the six of them!" You immediately send someone to bring these six top-ranking Qingqi to the Li Mansion, and the old man will give them to Liu Ji! ”

Li Gu and Li Ran were shocked that Li Chongwen wanted to give away the top brand of the six Qinglou Qing Mansions, you must know that these six top brand Qing Qi are very famous in Canglong City, just accompany people to eat and sing songs every year, and the six top brand Qing Qi can earn tens of thousands of taels of gold for the Li family, and when the six top Qing Qi start to pick up customers, the gold earned every year will be more.

However, shock is shock, the patriarch's order, Li Gu and Li Ran must be unconditionally implemented, early the next morning, Qin Yuechan of Wanhualou, Lu Xiangru of Chunfeng Pavilion, Wang Jingxiang of Yicui Garden, Shu Yuting of Zuihualou, Shi Jiezhen of Xunfang Pavilion, and Pan Tingting of Yingchun Courtyard, these six stunning Qingqi of the famous capital were sent to Li Mansion one after another.

After the six stunning Qingqi arrived at the Li Mansion, Li Chongwen personally looked at the appearance of these six stunning Qingqi, and suddenly Li Chongwen felt a little reluctant in his heart, worthy of being the top Qingqi of each Qinglou, all of them can be described as flowers and jade, you must know that each of the top Qingqi symbolizes a huge amount of wealth for the Li family.

But in order to calm Liu Ji's anger, even if he is reluctant, he has to send it!

In the afternoon of that day, the six stunning Qingqi were sent by carriage to the camp of the Broken Army.
