Volume 1: Who Breaks Through the Void by the Stars Chapter 209 Lust for Profit Consumes the Heart and Nears Disaster

"What's going on?"

"Who is this?"

The sound alarmed everyone in the cabin, and everyone looked at the female corpse on the ground in amazement by the light of the torches and candles.

Ye Chang leaned over and wiped off Chen Niangzi's hateful eyes, feeling a little sad.

After all, this is a person who once had a relationship, and he had a good conversation at the beginning, but now he died under his own sword, which is very regrettable.

Regret is regret, but Ye Chang definitely has no regrets. Mrs. Chen's intention is obvious, she was favored by Li Yong, so she came to assassinate herself before, and the positions of the two have been hostile, and it was Mrs. Chen's own choice.

In this case, it is a life-and-death struggle between you and me, and there is no room for mercy.

"Female assassin?" Nan Jiyun, who rushed over, was the first to react: "How did she get mixed up?"

"She is a female disciple of Gongsun Auntie, she is agile and very accessible, and it is normal to mix it up." Ye Chang stood up: "It's just that she still doesn't know about me, and she actually lied that she was a prostitute arranged by the housekeeper...... It's really confusing."

Everyone was silent, and Shanzhi also recognized Chen Niangzi, and Heshi recited Amitabha Buddha a few times.

"This account must be counted on Li Yong......" Ye Chang sighed again.

"Eleven Lang, this corpse ...... How to dispose of it? ”

"She is a heroine among women, since she has not caused me harm, she will be buried." Ye Changdao.

The smell of blood in the cabin was sad, and he couldn't sleep for a while, so he let people clean up the corpses and blood stains while he went to the deck. In the sea breeze, he looked westward, and there was Chang'an.

I don't know if my letter was delivered to Chang'an.

Chang'an City, Xingqing Palace.

"The matter of Khitan and Xi Ministry, have you negotiated the charter?" Li Longji was careless

"This ...... Now there are candidates. Li Linfu paused when talking about this.

"Oh, who?"

"One of them is the daughter of Princess Xincheng Dugu, and the other is the daughter of Princess Dou Lu."

Li Longji heard this response, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "...... they"

He has many children, this princess is his thirteenth daughter, and Princess Xincheng is the fifteenth daughter. Princess Weiguo married Dou Lujian, while Princess Xincheng married Dugu Ming.

If you talk about girls of the right age, there are definitely not only these two people, but the two of them were singled out, and Li Linfu has his own reasons.

What Princess Weiguo and Princess Xincheng have in common now is that they humiliated the three sisters of the Yang family in the conflict of Xiangxuehai. Afterwards, Li Longji was furious, chased the dowries of the two princesses, and dismissed the two concubines from their official positions.

In the political arena, this is a very clear signal: the two princesses are no longer in power.

That being the case, it is natural that few people will figure out the intention of the well. Although Li Linfu didn't need to do this, he would not stop it, so when these two names were reported, he agreed without hesitation and reported them to Li Longji.

These two young girls are Li Longji's granddaughters, but the heavenly family is ruthless, Li Longji came out of the bloody storm, and raised the butcher knife against his prince a few years ago, so naturally he would not put his granddaughter in his heart.

"Is this what you mean, Aiqing, or is it ......," Li Longji asked.

"This is the result of the public discussion of many ministers, and the ministers have no objection to this." Li Linfu replied slowly: "The minister thinks that this is a family matter of the Son of Heaven, and it should be judged by the Son of Heaven." ”

Thinking of the humiliation of the Yang family sisters, especially after they chased the dowries of the two princesses, they didn't realize the warning in it, and ran to them to cry and cry, just not to apologize to the Yang family, Li Longji nodded and said, "That's it...... I'm a little tired, so I'll leave this matter to you, well, after all, it's the blood of the Heavenly Family, don't be too cold. ”

"Obey." Li Linfu did not leave immediately, but hesitated slightly.

"What, what's the matter?"

"The minister received a secret report today, saying that Beihai is too protective of Li Yong and is corrupt, and the minister is ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, there is the law of the Tang Dynasty, and it is to act according to the law." Li Longji didn't have the heart to listen to Li Linfu continue, he waved his hand impatiently: "This Li Yong, he really didn't learn a lesson丨 Kong Zhang died for him in vain."

Li Linfu took out this matter at this time, waiting for Li Longji's words, he was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was silent, he said yes respectfully, and then retired.

When he returned home, he was muttering who should be sent to Beihai, Ji Wen was impossible, the matter was sent by Ji Wen, and sending Ji Wen to it would be used by him, and Huo Xianqi could not use it now, so he should send someone from Yushitai.

"Hmm...... Then Luo Xi Bing ......"

I made up my mind in my heart, and suddenly I heard the sound of Huanpei outside, and then, my daughter Li Tengkong appeared at the door

"Why is Kong Niang empty at this time?" Li Linfu smiled: "Aren't you going to alchemy?" ”

Li Tengkong's pink cheeks were slightly red, and this alchemy was related to Ye Chang. Some time ago, Ye Chang sent a book again, saying that it was about Dan Dao, which proposed that the so-called alchemy is an act of seizing heaven and earth, and it must be done according to the nature of things, such as water and iron can turn into rust, wood and fire can turn into smoke - we must summarize the laws of these changes in order to find out the true alchemy of Jindan.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Ye Chang asked to do more chemical experiments and summarized his rules. If Ye Chang throws out the periodic table of hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium and boron at this time, it will definitely be regarded as a fallacy, but if the chemical experiment is standardized, that is, alchemy, there is no need for anyone to oppose it, after all, this is the era when alchemy is popular.

After getting the book, Li Tengkong did some simple experiments, the most important of these experiments is to prove that fuel needs a colorless and odorless gas, Ye Chang called it "oxygen", and because the animals in the house after burning coal will suffocate, it is asserted that the survival and breathing of animals is to inhale this "oxygen", in Ye Chang's own words, "Oxygen is raised, and heaven and earth give birth to this gas to nourish things, hence the name." ”

This article caused a lot of sensation, at least those rich and noble families and Taoist monks who were interested in Dan Dao in Chang'an City almost all did the same test. The more he tried it, the more it proved that Ye Chang's inference was correct, and all of a sudden, everyone in Chang'an City who had a Dan furnace began to open the furnace to refine Dan.

"Aye, my daughter has something to ask."

"Well, you name it."

"I heard that An Lushan wants to invite peace for Xi and Khitan?"

"What's the matter with this, you, a deep girl, have heard about it?" Li Linfu didn't think about it, but he immediately frowned, and he had a bad premonition.

Previously, the princess of the Tang Dynasty was married, in fact, there were very few blood relatives of the Son of Heaven, most of them were side branches of the clan, and it was even possible that the daughter of a criminal official was the princess. He Li Linfu is a side branch of the clan and a high-ranking official, this time those who patted Yang Yuhuan's sycophants wanted to fall into the trap for the two princesses of Xincheng and Weiguo, Li Linfu did not object, and he was also worried about picking the daughter of the clan on his daughter's head.

Married far away, there has been no time to go home since then, life and death, but that's it.

"The slave not only heard about this, but also knew that there were people in the boudoir...... In Ye Shiyi's side strategy, he only said that the court was incompetent and useless, so it was not as far-reaching as Ye Shiyi to be as far-sighted as Ye Shiyi to use weak women and be close to Ningbian.

If someone else said this, Li Linfu would definitely be furious and jealous of Ye Chang, but these words came out of Li Tengkong's mouth, especially her worried appearance, which made Li Linfu have to think deeper.

Ye Chang's side strategy, he is very familiar with it, but the person who spreads the side policy is definitely not Ye Chang himself.

"What else?" Li Linfu asked again.

"The rest didn't...... It's just that, Aya, will you blame Ye Chang? ”

"Ha Luha, where is the old man blaming that kid for doing?" Li Linfu laughed: "Kong Niang, you just have to rest assured, Ye Chang, this junior, if you can make the old man's baby daughter happy, it will be too late for the old man to appreciate and promote, let alone blame."

Li Tengkong's pink cheeks suddenly flowed, and the whole person was so ashamed that she was in a hurry, she snorted, turned her head and ran away.

Seeing his daughter's childlike demeanor, Li Linfu smiled even more on his face, but after Li Tengkong ran out, his expression suddenly converged.

Ye Chang is really uneasy, out of Chang'an City, but the poison is still there

If it weren't for my daughter talking about it, I wouldn't know what to do...... Although it is only spread among the boudoirs in Chang'an City now, if you ignore the strength of these boudoir women, it will be a big mistake, and you may really cause big trouble."

To choose a princess and relatives for the Khitan and Xiren Khans in the northeast, it has been discussed before the New Year, and it is An Lushan, who has recently appointed the two towns to make this proposal. Thinking of An Lushan, Li Linfu snorted coldly, this miscellaneous beard has a different heart, an honest appearance, but in fact he is full of treachery

The last time An Lushan returned to Chang'an, he was very unkind to Li Linfu, Li Linfu didn't care about it on the surface, but in fact he hid it in his heart. It's just that his main opponent in front of him is Li Shizhi, who promoted An Lushan, so he won't worry about this little shrimp for the time being.

An Lushan, who is a behemoth in Ye Chang's eyes, is just a small shrimp in Li Linfu's eyes.

"Since you want to be close, An Lushan himself has to go back to Chang'an. Now the person who spreads Ye Changbiance in the Chang'an Boudoir doesn't know who it is, he must find out as soon as possible, and he can't ...... it."

Li Linfu wanted to find out the person who spread Ye Chang's strategy, but this matter was not done overnight, they were all the ladies of powerful families, and it was not good to send a character like Jiwen Huo Xianqi to interrogate him丨 Before he could figure out who was behind it, something exploded.

The news of the election of the daughter of the princess and the daughter of the princess of Weiguo has spread, although the clear decree has not yet been issued, but it is still spread all over the well-informed people in Chang'an City.

Princess Xincheng and Princess Weiguo, although they are not happy with the Son of Heaven, they are still princesses after all

"What, the two princesses knelt outside the palace gate and begged His Majesty to change his mind? He also said that women should be chosen from the families of those who are ministers in the clan, and their daughters should not be chosen? ”

The news of "damn" made Li Linfu angry and Li Longji angry.

However, the turmoil in Chang'an City, for the time being, Ye Chang still knows nothing, he is still on his own ship, living a simple life. Chen Niangzi's assassination made him more cautious, and he was even exempted from going out for a run in the morning, and he laughed at himself that he was close to prison.

On the third day of the fourth lunar month, Yuan Highway was full of joy, and finally got on Ye Chang's boat in an official robe.

"Eleven Lang ......"

"Looking at Yuan Gong's appearance, it seems that the matter has already been done?"

"As Eleven Lang said, the envoy has arrived, and he is selected as the Dengzhou Sima - Eleven Lang, are you willing to go to Beihai with me?"

Ye Chang's heart moved slightly: "Is there news over there in Beihai?" ”

"There is news, Qi Shunzhi, a member of the Imperial Court's Criminal Department, and the superintendent of Yushi Luo Xi Bing to Beihai, are now in our county, this is what the envoy said, it must be true."

Ye Chang hesitated slightly, he and Li Yong had no grudges in the past, and even because of the relationship between He Zhizhang, Han Chaozong and others, the two sides still had a little relationship, plus they were both good friends with Li Bai and Du Fu, if Li Yong hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have done this.

"It's inevitable that I'm going to fight the water dogs this tomorrow...... Doesn't make sense, right? ”

"Eleven Lang, this is not what I invited, it is what Luo Xibing said, in my opinion, Luo Xibing is afraid that he wants to fall in love in front of Eleven Lang. I look at this person, he has a rigid temperament, and if he doesn't understand his feelings, he will definitely be an enemy, so Eleven Lang should go and see it. ”

Although Ye Chang was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that this Luo Xibing, Ji Wen, and Huo Xianqi were all masters of fabricating crimes, and such characters were easy to offend.

Moreover, behind Luo Xibing is Li Linfu, obviously, Ji Wen will definitely report his affairs to Li Linfu, what Luo Xibing said may be Li Linfu's instructions.

"Alright then......"

Li Yong doesn't think about tea and dinner these days, and he no longer has his usual chic. Chen Niangzi never returned, and no news has come so far, which made Li Yong realize that the assassination attempt may have failed. What he was most worried about was that Mrs. Chen fell into the hands of Ye Chang and was sent to Chang'an by Ye Chang as evidence of crime, if this is the case, then his fate will be very ugly.

Therefore, he has not relaxed his surveillance of Ye Chang these days, but he found that Ye Chang did not get off the boat very much, nor did he send anyone away, which made him feel a little relieved.

However, today, Ye Chang moved.

"You mean, Yuan Highway went to the boat to see Ye Chang in his official robes, and then both of them left the ship and began to come towards Beihai?"

"Returning to the Taishou, that's exactly the case"

"Yuan Highway is so bold" Li Yong was furious at first, Yuan Highway secretly came and went with Ye Chang, he was not ignorant, but today he went to visit so openly, it was clear that he did not take his ban in his eyes.

Immediately, he was shocked: Why did Yuan Highway dare not put him in his eyes?

"But since Ye Chang has come to Beihai, he can't let him go...... Come on, lay down swords, axes and archers, and the official is useful"

Despite all the arrangements, Li Yong was still a little uneasy in his heart, and it wasn't until Yuan Highway Ye Chang and his party entered Beihai City that he was a little relieved: when he arrived here, he was on his territory.

Then there was a messenger sent by Yuan Highway to report, saying that he was asking to see, Li Yong summoned the sword and axe archers, and said with a sneer: "Misfortune and fortune are self-inflicted, and if they are sent to the door, they will not blame the old man...... It's just right, it's just right, fortunately Mrs. Chen didn't succeed, a dead Ye Chang, how can it be compared to a living Ye Shiyi"

In such a situation, he still caught Ye Chang alive, and forced out the secrets of soju and movable type from his mouth, although he was not good at production, but he knew very well that as long as he got these secrets, let alone make up for the shortfall, it would be a rich country, and it would not be a dream.
