Chapter 578: Li Qingge's Request
Li Qingge was slightly surprised: "How do you know... Oh!"
She remembered that before the head of Xiazhou left Shihuan City, she had asked the father and son if there were any bamboo tubes among Sun Fuping's relics.
It was all a long time ago, this young man has a really good memory, and his heart is really fine, which is very different from the recklessness he shows outside.
Yes, after leaving Mr. He, he doesn't seem to be reckless. "yes, that's it."
He Lingchuan thought for a moment, "How do you know that it is really in the hands of Nian Zanli, and not taken away by the Great Sima of Huzhou?"
At the beginning, the Kite civil strife was the first to rebel by the great Sima Dong Haoming, and the New Year's Praise Ceremony has been watching with troops until He Chunhua reported to the capital. But both of them are closely connected with Sun Fuping.
"I went to Huzhou to check carefully, and I'm not with Da Sima." Li Qingge was very sure, "And when the New Year's Praise Ceremony was to blackmail Songyang Mansion, I used such a thing. So I can be sure that it is in the hands of the New Year's Tribute."
"He knows that he can blackmail you with this thing, how can he give it back to you?" Li Qingge smiled bitterly: "This is the difficulty."
"I didn't have a good time in Lingxu City, so there's nothing the lord can do to pinch him?"
"I've tried a few times, but this guy won't get the oil and salt in, and he won't return anything. I was afraid that I would be in too much of a hurry, so he simply destroyed the bamboo tube. I can get someone to help, but I can't be too clear about it, otherwise it's going to be a tiger's gobble..... She smiled slightly bitterly, "After all, this is Lingxu City, not the Kite Country, and I don't have the convenience of a landlord." Her words are very clear, it is not good to turn to other powers, lest it be easy to ask God to send God.
"Is that how reassuring you are you?" Aren't you afraid that he will take it for himself after getting the bamboo tube? Li Qingge smiled gently and movingly: "Da Shao is not that kind of person."
He Lingchuan also smiled and put away the inner armor: "New Year's Praise Lily comes to Lingxu City, what is your appeal?"
Li Qingge lent him a purple gold pestle to deal with Bai Ziqi, and sent someone to send the torture dragon pillar to the Wange Swamp for him, so he owed Li Qingge at least two favors to the two bosses and had to pay it back.
"The Battle of the Han River caused him heavy casualties, and his plan to cooperate with the Great Sima Dong Haoming to attack Xiazhou was also unsuccessful. I think this has become a knot in his heart, and it has also caused Lingxu City to have a cold attitude towards him."
Hearing this, He Lingchuan nodded.
He is no longer the boy who didn't know anything about the Northern Demon Kingdom on the edge of the Han River a few months ago. The experience of traveling around the Demon Kingdom and narrowly dying, let him have a better understanding of Bega, especially Lingxu City, and no longer see flowers in the fog as before.
If at the beginning of the New Year's Praise Ceremony, He Chunhua could clearly realize as clearly as he is now, Lingxu City's attitude towards the New Year's Praise Ceremony must have a huge strategic adjustment.
"In the past two months, the New Year's Praise Ceremony has spent a lot of money in Lingxu City, hoping to find some nobles to lobby the Demon Emperor."
"Does it work?" He Lingchuan was very concerned.
"Yes, I heard a piece of news, he seems to have invited Qingyang National Teacher to be a lobbyist."
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Qingyang National Teacher? I remember that before the Battle of the Han River, the Nian Zanli asked the Frost Leaf National Master to deploy Yuan Li, why did he switch to the Qingyang National Teacher now?" "Maybe it's because of the heavy losses in the Battle of the Han River?" Li Qingge's words were not too clear, but He Lingchuan had already heard them clearly.
Hong Chengluo put a New Year's tribute in the Battle of the Han River, and Hong Chengluo was sent by the Frost Leaf National Teacher, and the New Year's praise ceremony probably had a knot in his heart because of this.
"Did the Qingyang National Master say that he moved?"
"It seems that the Emperor's attitude has softened—"
He Lingchuan was stunned in his heart, the influence of Qingyang National Teacher was still good. Not long after the Battle of the Han River, the Xia Prefecture of the Kite Kingdom has not been able to breathe, is it going to face the military disaster again?
As a traverser, he doesn't have a deep affection for the country of kites, but he doesn't want the lives there to be ruined.
How do you know that Li Qingge continued: "However, the elixir case suddenly broke out at this time, and the Qingfu Temple also exploded. Although it has nothing to do with the Qinggong on the surface, but..."
"But the clue secretly points to the Qing Palace, and the gods are angry, right?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "If the gods are displeased, the emperor probably can't consider the opinions of the Qingyang National Teacher."
"Yes, so the plan for the New Year's Celebration has been put on hold. He spent so much money and searched so much
People, the bamboo basket is empty!"
He Lingchuan understood. No wonder I saw the New Year's Praise Ceremony at the Dunyuan Sale, with a haggard face and a gloomy expression.
Dare to love is here to hit a wall everywhere.
Unexpectedly, he pursued a case of elixir, and actually beat the plan to borrow troops for the New Year's Praise Ceremony.
Originally, it was eight poles that couldn't hit the edge, but in the end, it was rubbed on.
Daddy should really send him a pennant, otherwise Bega's iron hooves will soon set foot on the land of Xia Prefecture in the Kite Kingdom. "If he wants to borrow someone from Baijia to make a comeback, he has to coerce Songyang Mansion to contribute." Li Qingge put away his smile, "I like to travel the world, but after all, I am still from the Kite Country, how can I cooperate with him to attack his home country?"
He Lingchuan's eyes lowered, and he secretly said a powerful sound.
Li Qingge only said himself, but from beginning to end, he reminded He Lingchuan that the people of the Kite Kingdom wanted to help the Kite people, and he helped Li Qingge to take back the bamboo tube, which was to help his mother country avoid the scourge of war.
She lifted this big hat, and it was difficult for He Lingchuan to have a reason to refuse.
Li Qingge said again: "Xiazhou was already weak, and it was tossed by the war for another year, and it is still a great injury and far from recovering. The last time I passed by the suburbs of Dunyu, I saw that the people's livelihood was still poor, and the old man lost his teeth after he was over fifty years old, but he couldn't even drink porridge. She shook her head, "If you can stop the New Year's Ceremony here, it will also help Ling Zun a lot."
He Lingchuan said solemnly: "Let go of these family and country righteousness, the lord has helped me several times, and this favor should be repaid." But I'm new to the city, and it's been less than ten days since I've entered Lingxu City, so I really think I can help?"
Favors come and go, there are contacts, and favors can be used more and more.
"Da Shao is now a close friend of the crown prince and the envoy of Chiyan, and he is also famous for the elixir case and the explosion of the inn." Li Qingge supported himself with his hand, "If you take the initiative to give you a gift when you see the New Year's Gift, it means that he thinks you are worthy of befriending."
She leaned forward slightly towards He Lingchuan, "Do you know that the Red Yan Demon King has a good relationship with the Suluo Kingdom?"
The kingdom of Sura and the country of Hoshu are both bordered by the country of kites.
"I don't know." He Lingchuan said truthfully, "Three months ago, I couldn't even memorize the name of the Demon Kingdom of Bega. But here, I'll do my best." Li Qingge immediately stood up and bowed to him: "Da Shao Gao Yi, Qingge is grateful."
"It's all kites, what do you say?" He Lingchuan returned this sentence to her, "But I just arrived in Lingxu, and there are not enough people."
"If you need anything, just ask." Li Qingge whispered softly, toasted him with a glass of wine, and then said, "There are also a few smart people in Songyang Mansion in Lingxu City, all of whom have been operating here for more than three years, and they are mostly at will."
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Lord started running the business of Lingxu City a long time ago?"
"Five years ago, we opened our first rudder here."
"It's fast." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I went to Dunyuan a few days ago, and that foggy mountain screen was so domineering." It is also very eye-catching, and the guests who come and go have to take a second look, and the payment and mark of Yangfu are in the lower left corner.
The Golden Horn General's Dunyuan, is it that any small merchant or hawker can go to advertise?
Lingxu City has been developed for six hundred years, and the commercial ecology has probably been solidified, and Songyang Mansion can tear a small hole in such a short period of time and get into it, Li Qingge's woman's wrist is not simple.
She frowned, revealing a little distress: "It's hard work to get this little achievement, but it's not the time. The New Year's Praise needs to be done up and down Lingxu City, so I use this place as a money village, and I come to ask for money and things every once in a while."
He Lingchuan grabbed a piece of pine nut fish fillet and chewed it slowly: "He only uses Songyang Mansion as a cash cow, he really underestimated the lord."
In his opinion, Li Qingge's ability to make money is secondary.
Just take an example: Songyang Mansion opened a rudder in the capital of the Northern Demon Kingdom a few years ago, and the relationship between the Kite Kingdom and Bega was already very bad at that time.
And Li Qingge's husband was killed for collaborating with the enemy and treason.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like she's going to be out of it
of people.
But she just did it, not only was Songyang Mansion not affected, but the business was getting bigger and bigger.
If you are an ordinary businessman, you don't know how many times your head has fallen.
He Lingchuan boldly guessed that this woman had some agreement with Kite Ting in private?
Li Qingge was not modest, and twisted his thin eyebrows: "Nian Zanli has lived in Xunzhou for a long time and rarely returned to Shihuan, I guess he doesn't know much about Songyang Mansion and me, and Sun Fuping hasn't revealed much to him, so far he only extorts some money from me." But after he gets the bamboo tube, he will probably spend the effort to investigate. Later..... But it's going to be a problem."
He Lingchuan said, "Let me try."
"By the way, you have to be careful, don't let the New Year's Celebration destroy the bamboo tube, and don't even let him pull the stopper."
He Lingchuan nodded in response. He had guessed what was in the tube.
"By the way, I have a newly made toy, would you like to try it out?"
Toy? New toys to try out?
He Lingchuan hurriedly threw the strange thought behind him: "Yes, yes." Li Qingge took out a small box: "This is a chasing bee, you know what it is for when you hear the name, right?" The box is octagonal in shape, which looks like it holds a pocket watch, and the filigree on the lid is in the shape of a bee, and the whole is quaint and exquisite.
Since it is called "chasing bee", He Lingchuan thought that two small bees would fly out as soon as the box was opened, but it didn't.
Inside is a compass-like thing, a sandalwood panel, with scales and words on it, and two small needles in the center, one long and one short.
Isn't this just a.... Compass? Although the box is good-looking.
"Interesting, how to use?" Li Qingge is very particular, although he uses favors to do things, he doesn't forget to give him some benefits.
She flipped over the box, and He Lingchuan saw that there was a secret compartment behind the box.
