When I left Qiu Ling's residence, it was noon.

Only then did the fog dissipate, and the pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and they told Qiu Ling about the general plan, and after practicing for a few hours, they left.

First of all, I went to the bank and went around, it was working well, and Li was watching from the hotel, so there would be no problems, so I went back to the house directly.

Those research and inventions, Xu Chen really can't spare time to do it, making a glass is wasted with the strength of nine cows and two tigers, I don't know how many times he has failed, but he has also refined the pure glass clay, made a jade dragon and two pairs of crystal shoes, and stammered the old emperor and Yang Yuhuan, but it was not wasted.

Naturally, he kept the pair of crystal slippers for Yumo, and planned to give them to her as a birthday gift, glass is not common in this era, even the emperor Lao'er has never seen such a treasure, compared to the glass cups he collected, I don't know how many times.

The princess's mansion is a little busy at this time, just because the horses are about to go on the expedition. The date has been set, and three days later, the emperor personally saw him off in front of the diligent government building, and led the 3,000 forbidden troops to Hexi, and Geshuhan fought together. It will inevitably take several months for this to go, and Zi'er is to clean up here and there for Xu Chen, but after being busy for a long time, she found that she didn't know what to bring to the horse.

It's about to be winter, Li Shuang'er ordered the tailors in the house to make more than a dozen cotton clothes overnight, in fact, there is really nothing to bring, this march is not to travel, and it is useless to bring so many things, as soon as Xu Chen returned to the mansion and saw that he was so busy, he was helpless.

Xu Chen returned to the study and practiced for a while, but Zi'er came in and said that the eldest princess's mansion was going to invite dinner at night, and she came to wake up, Xu Chen knew that it was Tian Rong's meaning, and it was a long time since he said it, and he didn't know what Xiao Jiujiu this Lao Tian was going to fight.

In the afternoon, Xu Chen went directly to the hotel. Li Ye, that kid must have stayed there. Looking for Li is naturally for tomorrow's plan, before the expedition, Hu Tong must die.

There are many rooms in this hotel, and the main store is the hostel on the second floor in the middle, and the accommodation fee here is naturally more expensive, but when I went in, I saw Li Ye sitting in the hall and reprimanding his subordinates.

I don't know when five or six orchids were recruited here, and Li also sat in front of the main hall, crossed Erlang's legs, and scolded loudly. There were four orchids standing next to him, all of them frightened, and several of the little girls began to wipe their tears.

"I said you, just you, what are you doing crying all day long! What is the sign of our hotel, you say, what is the signboard! Li also scolded.

The orchid has a high nose and blue eyes, but it is also very delicate, which was scolded by Li Ye. Tears couldn't help but roll, but I didn't dare not reply, it was Cecherno's words: "Smile service ......"

"You know the smile, too? You said you had a straight face all day long, what's the matter? I owe you money or something, didn't I pay you a salary! ”

The little girl was already scared, and such a loud reprimand was really excessive, so she just started crying. The aggrieved couldn't do it, and hurriedly said: "Slave maid, slave maid is just a relative at home who has passed away." I just brought the letter a few days ago, and this is ......"

These orchids were recruited by Li Ye to be waiters, of course, they are regular occupations, and the salary is also very lucrative, and Li also learned a lot from Xu Chen, for example, it is mandatory to order these orchids to always serve with a smile.

Li Ye didn't bully people like this on weekdays, these employees didn't know Li Ye's identity, only when he was the shopkeeper, but now he didn't know which crazy he smoked, and began to reprimand, and the girls had a good impression of the shopkeeper in their hearts, so when they were reprimanded, these girls used a killer move, crying like a tearful person, if they were replaced by a fierce shopkeeper, how dare they cry!

What's more, this girl is in a situation at home, and now she is being reprimanded by the shopkeeper, so she dares to be wronged, just when Xu Chen came in, she bumped into her.

Xu Chen looked at this posture, and his understanding of Li Ye went up a notch, fuck, is this still a fucking prince! Sure enough, it is the same as the shopkeeper in the market, or more precisely, he can't hide the potential to be a hooligan in his bones.

The identity of the prince was very noble in the Tang Dynasty, but this Li was also an alternative, in addition to accumulating the personality of a gentleman, there was also a ruffian hooligan, and there were a lot of shortcomings, but this kid was very much in line with Xu Chen's wishes.

Li is also the youngest son of "let the emperor" Li Longfan, Li Longfan and the third brother are good friends, and the death is relatively sudden, Li also grew up in the palace and the eldest princess's mansion since he was a child, to say that the family education should be particularly good, but this Li is too unsuccessful, it is actually engaged in some hooligan things that are not on the road, a few years ago, this kid turned out to be the leader of a group of gentlemen, rampant in Chang'an, and approached Yang Tingquan's status as a gentleman, but fortunately, he reined in the precipice in time and returned to normal.

He is good at practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he left the group of gentlemen, he is obsessed with martial arts, and his subordinates have gathered a group of capable people, but the martial arts are not very prominent.

Xu Chen's appearance made Li also regain his desire to learn martial arts, Wu Zhuangyuan was the first in the world of martial arts, which couldn't be blown, so he defected to Xu Chen, and after coming and going, it came to this point.

The talented people he raised came in handy, including the guards in Yumo's house, etc., the rescue of the broken temple in the south of the city gradually became the main force, most of these capable people came from the rivers and lakes, and they followed Li Ye for several years, and they were not idle, but they had something to do and were well paid, so they naturally had an attitude of being sick and brainy, and behaved well.

And Xu Chen really doesn't have many people available now, and there are only those people who can rely on Li Ye's people to do anything at the moment, so he came to Li Ye and told him the plan.

To say that Xu Chen is rich now, very rich, it won't be long before he is the richest man in Chang'an, it is really not difficult to recruit people under his hands, but Xu Chen's identity is too special, and he doesn't want to be caught, so he can only rely on Li Ye, and Xu Chen's many observations, Li Ye's henchmen are indeed available.

Xu Chen stood at the door and couldn't stand it, this Nima is a prince or not, so he strode in, Li also saw his brother-in-law coming, and the fierce god who had just been mixed was vicious, and instantly changed into a hippie smile, and hurriedly got up and said, "Brother-in-law is here......"

Those orchids are all a little bit good-looking, new here. I didn't know Xu Chen, so I glanced at the shopkeeper's brother-in-law curiously, and the girl who wiped her tears clearly changed a look in her eyes, and it was obvious that her eyes were bright: Wow, this Lang Jun is really good-looking.

Where did Xu Chen notice, he asked the girls to go their separate ways, and then called Li Ye to the office on the second floor.

As soon as he entered the office, Wang Ye Li was busy inviting Xu Chen to take a seat, poured a bowl of tea for Xu Chen, and said with a smile: "Hehe." If the brother-in-law is suffocated in the princess's mansion, do you see it, those orchids can be picked at will! ”

Just about to take a sip of tea, it squirted out all of a sudden, and when I saw that Li Ye still looked very serious, I couldn't help but be angry, and I wanted to preach, this is not a bathing place, and I want to prostitute to find a brothel, and Li Ye immediately bared his teeth. Xu Chen knew that this kid was gagging again.

As soon as he made a kicking motion, Li Ye had already run to the door of the office, and the speed, the consciousness really didn't say. Xu Chen was helpless, sat down and said, "If you like this hotel so much, I will give it to you." ”

Li Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, and he naturally helped a lot in the construction of this hotel. The amount of investment is very huge, and Xu Chen only asked him to come over to take care of it before, mainly because he was afraid of having nothing to do. It's good to have a place to sit, this kid is very stubborn in his bones, he is curious and attentive about fighting and killing, but he is a prince in name only, and he doesn't even want Emperor Li San to give him an official position.

"Really?" Li also jumped over, this hotel is very popular in the East Market, most of them are businessmen from other places to live, and occasionally you can see some officials from other places who come to Beijing, it has only been opened for less than a month, and it is already famous in the capital.

"Your brother-in-law and I are so rich, and it doesn't hurt or itch to give it to you, what kind of ...... is this, it depends on whether you want it or not." At this moment, the local tyrant Chen actually raised Erlang's legs, and he was very arrogant.

Li Ye saw that his brother-in-law was so pretentious, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he still said with joy: "Yes, of course, my brother-in-law gave me a money jar, how can I not want it!" ”

"Ahem, that, I'll give it to you if you want it, the so-called 'no merit is not punished', the hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is short, do you think this is the reason?" Tuhaochen's face turned pale, and he looked cunning and gloomy.

I rely on it, I know that there is nothing good, this brother-in-law really didn't hold back his fart, but after thinking about it, it is indeed very cost-effective, even if it is a great help, it is also earned.

Li also enjoys the feeling of being a small boss, he used to be just a hand-off in the bank, and he has never participated in any business business, but now with this good location, luxurious construction, novel design, and special management of the hotel, Li also often invites some friends to come to consume, and an idea came out of his heart to open up a special place to implement the membership system, that is, the club that Xu Chen often mentioned to him.

I want to let whoever comes, you are not a member and don't want to come in and enjoy, if you want to be a member, you have to see Lao Tzu's mood! This is Li Ye's vision for the development of the hotel business in the future.

"Brother-in-law, you just need to say no to me if you have anything, you are clearly looking down on the friendship between the two of us, what kind of person I Li is, you are not unclear, you let me go east, I dare not go south, you let me bite the dog, where do I dare to bite the chicken! In a word, as long as I can do it, brother, I am duty-bound! ”

Li also said indignantly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned to say: "You really give?!" ”

Li still doesn't believe it, this hotel is too profitable, and all kinds of friends and brothers will play all the money as soon as they get it.

Xu Chen nodded very seriously......

"If you go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, there is nothing that I Li can't do! What did my brother-in-law say! ”

Sure enough, he is a good brother, when it comes to money, he is no different from his relatives, Xu Chen straightened his body, and said lightly: "Kill Hu Tong!" ”

Li Ye almost fell to the ground when he heard this, and when he looked at his brother-in-law again, he had a feeling of being unladylike.

At first glance, it is really difficult to accept, killing Cui Ren in the past, as well as those 20 or so lives, is really nothing important to Li Ye, but this is different, Hu Tong is an official of the imperial court, and he can't be killed!

Li also knows his brother-in-law's character, he can't kick a fart with three feet on weekdays, and he often pretends to be forced, but he is a person who holds grudges, not to mention that Hu Tong made it clear that he wanted to kill him last time, and it was a matter of time before he killed Hu Tong, but Li Ye was really stunned in his heart, this is not a fucking joke.

And it is very difficult to kill a cool official like Hu Tong, even if he kills him, it will inevitably show his feet, even if the emperor is pampering him. There is almost no talk of killing officials in the DPRK and China, and there must be a whole house of copying and beheading the nine clans.

"Brother-in-law isn't joking...... right," Li also laughed.

"Before I go on the expedition, Hu Tong must die, do you think I am joking? It's too urgent for you to do it, but you have to help me kill him!" ”

Xu Chen said this, a trace of yin appeared on his face, Li also stared at Xu Chen with wide eyes, shook his head and sighed, and said, "If you want to say that this Hu Tong is not worth the price of a hotel." I see my brother-in-law losing ......"

For this brother-in-law, Li has long been ready to follow, and Li also thinks that his brother-in-law is really good, although he always likes to pretend to steal his limelight, it is difficult to find people with similar temperaments. Second, I saw the huge aura on my brother-in-law, the old emperor favored him, Yang Guifei loved him, and the major princes and nobles were unanimously optimistic. This, this Nima is definitely the rhythm of heaven, and he is convinced of his brother-in-law's ability, and he will definitely eat and drink spicy food after following him.

For now. Li also slowly fixed himself as Xu Chen's henchman, and the boss asked his henchman to do things, where is the reason not to follow, even if it is too risky to do. Li also decided to believe his brother-in-law......

In a small courtyard in the south of the city.

The courtyard is not large, with two wings on the left and right, and a hall in the middle. But it looks very shabby, and it should have been uninhabited for a long time.

However, the yard is surprisingly clean, as if someone has cleaned it, but there are no people living here, and the neighborhoods around the small courtyard are scattered with a few families.

At this moment, in the lobby of the small courtyard, there were five or six people gathered.

Sitting on the main hall was a middle-aged woman, with a red silk veil, unable to see her appearance clearly, the reason why she was said to be a middle-aged woman, thanks to her slightly sagging breasts, four or five old men stood beside the woman in turn, behaving well, not daring to speak, let alone make any small movements.

"I probably checked the place where Qiu Ling might stay, it should be that no one has been there for a long time."

"She's smart, she can't die, pay more attention to her whereabouts, and if you really meet her, she will be punished directly."

This middle-aged woman is the sect leader in Yumo's mouth, they are often active in the capital, and there are many small strongholds.

Of course, this woman is sure that Qiu Ling is not dead, and now she is just hiding, but the sect leader has no time to take care of this matter, she will naturally have to do it when she comes to the city this time.

"Madame, do you have any news over there?" The Sect Master asked.

"Madame said to let the sect leader wait a few days, and she will arrange a meeting."

The scene was extremely discordant, four or five men surrounded a veiled woman, it was really awkward, although the woman's breasts were sagging, but she was wearing exposed, but several men didn't dare to look at it, and even looked at the ground when they replied, without the slightest blasphemy.

"Hmph, she's going to take a shelf! If it weren't for the ......" The sect leader stopped his voice halfway through, and then said, "Since she hasn't seen me for the time being, you can go and check if Qiu Ling stays in the capital......

"Yes."

The sect leader grew up watching Qiu Ling, but he couldn't afford to have family affection at all, too, but if there was any emotion, he would not let Qiu Ling perform such a task, because the assassination of Hu Tong could only be done without return, more precisely, the sect leader had already secretly reported the news to Hu Tong before the assassination, but he didn't expect that the net could escape, Qiu Ling was really not simple.

A radius of hundreds of miles outside Chang'an City is the sect leader's sphere of influence, Qiu Ling will not be stupid enough to flee outside the city if he wants to escape, if he is still alive, he can only be in the city, and as for the rumor that Qiu Ling was killed by the horse and fed to the wolf, he felt even more ridiculous, thinking of this, he was suspicious again, ...... this Qiu Ling and the horse?

It's just a matter of thinking about it, Qiu Ling's life and death are not so important, the reason why she is looking for Qiu Ling is to use her to the canon, but she can't find it, forget it, she came to Beijing this time for a big secret.

And all the reason for this secret is because of the lady, the woman who is even more murderous than her......

Xu Chen and Li Ye made a plan this afternoon, and without further ado, after Xu Chen finished explaining the details, Li Ye hurried to implement it.

Killing Hu Tong this time must be very dangerous, the slightest carelessness will be exposed, Xu Chen did not dare to be careless, and when he was ready, it was already dusk.

When she returned to the princess's mansion, Li Shuang'er was waiting, the carriage was ready, and Xu Chen remembered that she was going to the eldest princess's mansion.

It was normal for Tian Rong's old man to call himself over before the expedition, Xu Chen was also a little worried about him before, and he always felt that the old man was holding back his bad heart, but slowly Xu Chen dispelled his worries.

The current East Palace, there are almost no powerful forces to rely on, Yang Guozhong is busy dealing with An Lushan this year, dealing with the bad things of Nanzhao, but the blow to Li Heng has slowed down, but this is obviously temporary, the old emperor sees that he will not be alive for a few years, Yang Guozhong will definitely get rid of Li Heng before the old emperor dies, and then promote his puppet, if the old emperor is making a big move after his death, it is really not cost-effective, after all, this faint old man is too easy to use at the moment...... (To be continued......)
