Chang'an City, East Palace.

"Ahh

A miserable cry came out, and several palace maids guarding outside the palace of the crown prince Li Chengqian were all trembling with their faces like ashes.

"How many are these?"

The commander of the East Palace guards, Su Gan Chengji, happened to pass by, and he naturally heard the screams coming from inside.

Just after the second watch, there was silence in the entire East Palace, and this scream spread far away.

"Back to the Grand Commander, this month is the second, and there are already seventeen this year......"

He was also followed by a team of guards, which were part of the guards on duty at night, and it seemed that he was already used to such things as the prince's dormitory.

There was not much time, and the door of the dormitory was opened, and four little eunuchs came out of it, carrying a bloody palace maid in their hands, who seemed to have been dead for a long time.

"Hey, this palace maid still knows each other, she is less than fourteen years old this year, she is all that satisfied, she ......"

One of the guards sighed, but was glared at by Su Gan Chengji.

"If you want to live for a long time, just shut your stinky mouth, whenever the matter of the East Palace spreads, you should be careful of your head!"

In fact, Su Gan Chengji's heart is also very conflicted.

Since the man called Chengxin came, Li Chengqian rarely walked out of the gate of the dormitory, and even when he did, he was in the courtyard of the East Palace, setting up tents, roasting whole sheep, and mare's milk wine, just like a Turkic style.

He sometimes asks himself, what is he going to do?

Is it for the sake of the crown prince Li Chengqian, or is he unswervingly loyal to his young master, or is he only responsible for the master?

His kung fu came from the careful training of the master, but his family had received the great favor of the young master and his father, and the crown prince Li Chengqian, he himself had been following him for thirteen years.

An originally high-spirited His Royal Highness the Prince, who was young and talented and martial, was better than his peers, but now he was addicted to wine all day long, and he saw that the whole person was about to be abolished.

"Let's go, let's go check elsewhere, here in the dormitory...... Don't keep anyone. ”

Su Gan Chengji always felt that Li Chengqian should not collapse so easily, that is an extremely persevering person.

However, the situation in front of him, coupled with his lameness, shook the confidence of Su Gan Chengji again.

……

The second day of the water and land festival was even more lively than the first day.

As the news spread, many people flocked to Chang'an City, even if they couldn't enter the venue, it was worth the trip to listen to it from afar.

In the decades since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has never had such a grand event, which has invisibly attracted many new believers.

The Huasheng Temple is crowded with people inside and outside, and Li Zhi's "Lizheng Palace" is also lively.

Since Sun Simiao settled in Li Zhi's "Lizheng Palace" yesterday, several people have also moved their minds.

First of all, Li Shimin and Qin Qiong, who came with them, have reached their level, but they are more eager to become stronger, especially when there is such an opportunity in front of them.

Li Shimin didn't take out the posture of the emperor and his father, but simply asked for an independent courtyard, the first set of courtyards on the east side of Beishu, and then next to the south is the courtyard of Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang.

Then there is the eldest grandson Huanting's, and there is still a set of courtyards left on the east side.

Qin Qiong was embarrassed to open his mouth, Li Zhi saw his desire, so he simply let Qin Qiong live in the courtyard next to Sun Simiao on the west side.

Of course, since Qin Qiong has moved in, it is up to him whether his two sons come or not depends on his own arrangements.

In this way, the status of "Lizheng Palace" in the palace is a little embarrassing, after all, these are all big men, who often go in and out of the palace, and they live here, and they are always good to say.

Fortunately, although the "Lizheng Palace" belongs to the deep palace, close to the north end of the palace, it is closer to the east side of the palace.

Simply, Li Shimin directly assigned the side hall on the east side to Li Zhi, closed the original west palace gate of the "Lizheng Palace", and opened a new palace gate on the east side as the main gate.

After this operation, the "Lizheng Palace" was equivalent to being isolated from the palace, and even the name was changed by Li Shimin, and it was directly called "Jin Wangfu".

Originally, Li Zhi was only thirteen years old, not yet the age of opening a mansion, but he also made special arrangements, but it was much smaller than other people's palaces.

Since Sun Simiao and Qin Qiong both lived in the "Jin Palace", Li Shimin immediately appointed Qin Qiong as the secretary of the "Jin Palace" to join the army and be in charge of the defense of the Jin Palace, while Sun Simiao hung the title of the "Jin Palace" master.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, this is also to cover people's eyes and ears, there is no guard in the "Jin Wangfu", and there are few subordinates, and it is not too easy for this record to join the army and the master.

The establishment of the "Jin Palace" still caused a commotion in the court, and some people even felt that Li Shimin's handling of it was a bit hasty, but they did not dare to say it directly.

When Old Wei Zheng saw Qin Qiong and Sun Simiao, his eyes were full of envy, but unfortunately, he was already in the East Palace.

On the second day after the establishment of the "Jin Palace", Qin Qiong couldn't wait to take office, and really brought four "guards", namely Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, and a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Qin Huaidao is the eldest son in the family, and he will inherit Qin Qiong's title in the future, so he was left at home.

But the old Cheng family is slightly different, Cheng Chumo originally wanted to inherit Cheng Biting Jin's title, and saw that Qin Huaiyu, who had followed Li Zhi for only a few years, had reached the realm of "martial arts".

Cheng Chumo was envious, and took the opportunity of Li Zhi's opening of the mansion this time, so he recommended himself to Qin Qiong, and for this reason, he would rather give up the position of the prince of the country at his fingertips in the future.

Li Zhi couldn't help but wonder when he saw that a few of them could come, these brothers were all young princes, but they wanted to come to him to be a guard of the palace, and his heart was full of emotion.

"Uncle Qin, who is this brother, his eyes are very raw, and he seems to have never seen it? People look really spirited—"

Looking at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, Li Zhi looked very kind, mainly because this young man was too good-looking.

Even if Li Zhi is a person with outstanding appearance, after cultivation, he has added a bit of heroism, but if he is compared with the one in front of him, he is still half a step behind.

"Haha, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this son is not an outsider, but he is a hard-working child, he is the son of my hard-working cousin, and his name is Luo Tong."

Qin Qiong's eyes when she looked at Luo Tong were full of love, just like looking at her own child.

"Oh, is this the son of Yue Guogong? Sure enough, he is very handsome, and he is also here to ......"

Luo Tong's famous Li Zhi naturally knew that his father, "Cold Face and Cold Gun", was even more of an unobstructed character, especially above Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong and others.

It's a pity that in terms of personality, the owner of the angry little pepper and the one-headed garlic did not let the one-headed garlic die young, leaving only Luo Tong's son.

"Yes, Tong'er arrived in Chang'an City not long ago, I brought him here this time, I hope His Royal Highness the King of Jin can look at Qin's thin face......"

Entering the "Jin Palace" to be a guard, it is not as simple as being a guard.

This is simply a treasure land for cultivation, if it weren't for the pitiful look at Luo Tong, Qin Qiong might not be able to pull down the old face, not to mention, one of his sons, Qin Huaiyu, had already come in.

He is not like the people of the old Cheng family, he is so thick-skinned that there is no one else in the world, even if Cheng Biting Jin is not in Chang'an City, the gifts of the old Cheng family have also sent two large cars.

Mrs. Cui's original words, this is the "food money" sent to the two sons.

In the same way, Qin Qiong couldn't take out so much money, so he simply told Li Zhi that he joined the army as a record, and he only did practical things and didn't take money.

"Where did Uncle Qin come from, Brother Luo Shi is willing to come to my 'Jin Palace', it's too late for the kid to be happy, where will he be disgusted?"

"However, we don't have a shortage of manpower now, and there are so many auras in the house, if you want everyone to be enough, I'm afraid you really have to pray that Sun Laodao's peach tree grows, haha-"

Speaking of this, Qin Qiong and Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh.

Just the day before yesterday, when Sun Simiao took out a "peach pit", everyone had already laughed once.

However, Li Zhi is willing to believe that what Sun Simiao said is true.

According to Sun Simiao, this "peach pit" was left by a senior in their sect hundreds of years ago, and it is said to be the "peach pit" of the queen mother's peach.

As for the authenticity, no one knows, let alone verifies it.

If the only magic is probably this peach pit, which has been stored for hundreds of years, it is still as bright as if it had just been eaten, and it is still flesh red.

It's a pity that Li Zhi's "Delusional Golden Pupil" has just reached the red level, and he only sees that this peach pit is unusual, but he can't further explore it.

Even without this, Li Zhi still supported Sun Simiao and carefully planted it on that black soil, and even occupied half of the position.

Now that everyone has come, Li Zhi still has to test it first.

Qin Huaiyu's realm, Li Zhi knows it well, and he has a proper realm of "martial arts and gods", while the two brothers of the Cheng family are a lot worse.

The eldest Cheng Chumo is already twenty-two years old, and he has just reached the "Transformation Strength", and the second Cheng Chuliang is also twenty years old, and he can't catch up with his eldest brother, only the skills of the later stage of "Dark Energy".

However, Luo Tong, who is extremely handsome, is not yet seventeen years old, and he is half a year older than him in the same year as Qin Huaiyu, and he actually has the realm of the middle stage of congenital.

And Li Zhi even found that Luo Tong's cultivation talent is especially above Qin Huaiyu, but Qin Huaiyu followed Li Zhi a few years ago to have the current realm, what if he was replaced by Luo Tong?

Thinking about it, Li Zhi felt very excited.

"Four benevolent brothers, presumably Uncle Qin has already told you about the wonderful things here, the cultivator is the teacher, and the four of you will take Brother Huaiyu as the leader for the time being."

"It's up to him to teach you the 'Five Fowl Opera', Brother Chu Mo and Brother Chu Liang, let's teach the 'Tiger Opera' and 'Bear Opera' first, and when the other three operas and other two realms are promoted to the congenital level, it's not too late to practice."

"Brother Luo Shi is already in the middle of the congenital stage, and the 'Five Fowl Opera' can be taught to all of them. In addition, I will ask Sun Daochang to refine a few grains of 'Tsukidan', although it is only an imitation, it can also play a certain effect. ”

Speaking of Sun Simiao, Li Zhi asked him if he would refine the elixir in line with the principle of catching a toad and taking out two taels of oil?

When it comes to pills, Sun Simiao is of course very confident, and has regained the demeanor of a generation of miracle doctors.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, although the poor road is not as good as those people of the 'Danding faction', but ordinary pills are still difficult to defeat the poor road."

In order to show his importance, Sun Simiao naturally did not hide his secrets.

"Sun Zhenren, is what you said true?"

Well, as soon as he heard that Sun Simiao knew how to make alchemy, Li Zhi respectfully called "Sun Zhenren" again, and that force was so strong that even his own son Li Shimin on the side couldn't stand it.

"Haha, that's of course, His Royal Highness King Jin, although you are far superior to the Poor Dao in cultivation, but when it comes to alchemy, it must be more professional in the Poor Dao."

Sun Simiao seemed to enjoy the feeling of being watched by these people, but unfortunately, he was not like Yuan Tiangang in his hands, always holding a whisk to play handsome.

"That's great! In this case, please ask Daoist Sun to refine a furnace of the 'Nine Turns Golden Pill' first, what materials do you need, even if you tell you, the pheasant slave will definitely do it for you. ”

Before Li Zhi finished speaking, Sun Simiao's face on the side had already darkened.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, you ...... It's easy for you to have no friends when you talk like that—"

Sun Laodao was so angry that he turned around and left, went into the room, and didn't come out to eat dinner.

"'Nine Turns Golden Pill', is it difficult to refine?"

Li Zhi muttered to himself, but no one could answer him.

However, after turning the corner, Sun Simiao still told Li Zhi that if the materials were sufficient, he could imitate a few grains of "Zhuji Dan".

Although it is not as good as the real "Tsukidan", it also has six or seven percent of the medicinal effect.

It's a pity that this pill is only useful for people below the realm of "Tongshen", like Li Zhi, they naturally don't need to eat any more "Zhuji Dan".

Even so, that's a good thing, there are many people in the Tang Dynasty who are stuck in the realm of "Tongshen", and they don't worry about the uselessness of this Dan at all.

Even so, with Sun Simiao's ability, even if the materials are sufficient, he can refine ten or eight grains at most in a year.

Expanding the palace, changing the gate, and passing on skills, Li Zhi seems to be completely immersed in his own world.

Until the night of the sixth day of the land and water conference, Li Zhi couldn't sleep.

It just so happened that Li Shimin couldn't sleep that night, so he slipped to Li Zhi's "Jin Palace".

The gate of the "Jin Palace" was changed to the "Yongchang Fang", which did not prevent the original site of the gate of the "Lizheng Palace" from leaving a corner door.

However, this corner gate was only left for a few people such as Li Shimin, Li Mingda, and Li Zhi to enter and exit the palace conveniently.

At Li Zhi's suggestion, the portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde were pasted at the door of Li Shimin's bedroom, and Li Shimin slept soundly.

Since then, the people of the Tang Dynasty also like to paste the portraits of these two people on their doors during the New Year, becoming the second generation of door gods, gradually replacing Yu Lei and Shendi.

"Pheasant, why haven't you slept so late?"

There were only a few people in the "Jin Palace", Li Shimin had just entered from the corner gate, and Li Zhi, Sun Simiao and Qin Qiong knew who was coming.

Naturally, no one stopped him, and no one came out to greet him, and if he came over so late, he must have come to find Li Zhi.

"Father, didn't you sleep too? What do you have to say when you came to your son so late? ”

It was inconvenient to drink tea at night, so Li Zhi casually poured a cup for Li Shimin, Sun Simiao's treasured ginseng wine.

In other words, this old Sun Taoist family is really rich, and Li Zhi can always turn over good things from him.

"Pheasant slave, there is something that my father has been thinking about for a long time, and I have always wanted to tell you, but I am still a little hesitant."

Li Shimin took the wine glass and drank it all, and suddenly felt that the blood veins in his body were a little swollen, and he hurriedly secretly operated his internal force, and after walking for a big week, he felt that his dantian was hot.

"Good wine, why haven't I drunk this kind of wine before?"

Looking at the empty cup, Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi greedily.

"Father, this wine is not the point, the point is what are you embarrassed about, is it about the throne or the secrets of the royal family?"

Li Zhi suddenly felt that he owed a little money, so he borrowed less than half a catty of medicine and wine from the old grandson, and just then poured a glass for his father stupidly, isn't this boring for himself?

However, looking at Li Shimin's "pitiful" appearance, he had no choice but to pour another glass.

"The pheasant slave is really smart, what my father wants to say is the secret of the throne and the royal family, I don't know which one the pheasant slave wants to listen to first?"

For Li Zhi's direct question, Li Shimin did not have the slightest disgust, between his son and Lao Tzu, he should be so honest.

"Father, if you say that these two sons don't want to hear it, what would you think?"

"This ......"

Li Shimin was stunned, why didn't this kid play cards according to common sense?
