In the afternoon, Fang Yuan's motorcade returned to Chang'an City.

As soon as he entered the city, a soldier stopped Fang Yuan's convoy.

"I'm the Tobu Guard, please give way!"

Xue Rengui took out Fang Yuan's token and said in a loud voice.

When the sound fell, it immediately attracted the attention of the people who came and went around it.

The position of the Tobe squire is very high, and he is already a rare high-ranking official in the eyes of outsiders.

"Your Majesty has a will!"

"Please invite Fang Shilang and Miss Wang into the palace!"

The soldier didn't get out of the way and said respectfully.

"Shall I go home first?"

Wang Shiyu poked her head out and said.

She wanted to go back to Wang Jue's house first and ask Wang Jue about his situation.

Determine what you can and can't say to avoid surprises.

"Your Majesty has a will!"

"Please invite Fang Shilang and Miss Wang into the palace!"

The soldier shook his head, repeating what he had just said.

Wang Shiyu frowned, snorted coldly and retreated into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Fang Yuan and the others glanced at each other, and they all understood that the emperor wanted them to enter the palace immediately.

After a moment of silence, the carriage drove again, and the soldiers opened the way, and after a certain distance, Du Miaoyan got out of the car.

After Du Miaoyan got off the car, there were only Xia Yuan and Wang Shiyu left in the carriage, and the small space made the atmosphere a little ambiguous.

Not long after, Fang Yuan and Wang Shiyu came to the imperial study and saw Li Shimin.

"Fang Yuan, how did you come up with the idea of picking up Wang Shiyu?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

Miaoyan was worried about Wang Shiyu's safety, so she went out of the city to pick her up.

Fang Yuan was a little surprised, and Li Shimin asked this question.

"I see."

"Did Wang Shiyu tell you the secret of Prince Yin's treasure?"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, and then continued to ask.

His gaze became deep, staring at Fang Yuan, making people shudder a little.

"The jade seal of the country?"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

Li Shimin should be able to guess, there is no need to hide it.

And although the jade seal of the country is a big secret, it also depends on the object.

For yourself, this secret is not as big as the secret of the treasure.

"It's good to know."

"I'll rest assured that I'll leave it to you."

Li Shimin retracted his gaze, and then let Fang Yuan and the two sit down.

After sitting down, a eunuch and a palace maid brought tea and pastries to entertain the two.

"What does Your Majesty have to explain?"

Fang Yuan asked.

He sighed in his heart, feeling that the matter arranged by the emperor was related to the treasure of Prince Yin.

Now that Lishan has become a killing field, everyone is crazy, and it is very dangerous, Fang Yuan is unwilling to participate if he can.

"The treasure has been opened, and I can do without the treasure, but I want to make sure that the heirloom jade seal is in my hands."

"I want to lead the troops to protect the jade seal of the country, and even get it."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Treasure is like that for him.

Because the paper money policy is now in place.

With the popularity of paper money, people will rely less and less on gold, silver and jewelry.

No matter how much money it is, as long as the paper money system does not collapse, you can print as much as you want.

But the jade seal of the country is different, there is only one in the whole world, and the consequences of falling into the hands of traitors are unpredictable, and they may be used to make a fuss.

For example, those who claim to be the jade seals of the country are the co-masters of the world.

For example, now the emperor is not virtuous, he killed his brother and imprisoned his father on the throne, and God has sent disasters many times to show that he cannot be the emperor.

and other problems, causing turmoil in the country and the people of the world drifting away from morality, this is what Li Shimin is worried about.

"Your Majesty, I'm a civil official, how can He De lead troops there?"

The corners of Fang Yuan's mouth twitched, and he was slightly speechless.

Shouldn't the generals be responsible for this kind of thing?

"I have thought that among the generals, except for General Li Jingqi, who can do it, has gone to the Lingnan battlefield."

"Li Jing is my Tang Dynasty military god, this kind of trivial matter is not his turn, he still has to guard Chang'an City."

"And the first two times I sent troops to return made me understand that Lishan is no longer just a simple treasure grab, it needs a person with a flexible mind over there."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

It can be regarded as an explanation to Fang Yuan.

There must have been an ambush on the other side of Lishan.

That kind of ambush was specifically aimed at the soldiers of the imperial court.

Whether it was a deliberate loss of the power of the imperial court or a blow to the prestige of the imperial court, they were not allowed to exist.

But ordinary soldiers may not be able to deal with them, so they have to find a clever Wenchen to lead the soldiers to attack a third time.

And Fang Yuan learned the secret, and he also had brains, or was able to handle this sortie.

"Can I refuse?"

Fang Yuan pouted.

Even if Li Shimin wore a high hat, Fang Yuan was not very happy.

Going to Lishan is life-threatening, how good it is to stay in Chang'an City as a household servant.

"What do you think?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"I think it's doable."

Fang Yuan sneered.

"Don't think about it."

"But don't worry, I'll give you a general's deputy."

Li Shimin glared at Fang Yuan and said with a smile.

Fang Yuan was about to ask who it was, when the eunuch Wang De came in to report.

said that Cheng Yanjin came back with the one-eyed dragon Ji Rongqi and was waiting outside.

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking of what Liao Fengmao and the others told him, this one-eyed dragon should know who hijacked the grain.

"Announce him in."

Li Shimin nodded and said.

Soon, Cheng Yanjin came in and held a one-eyed dragon.

"The last general will see Your Majesty."

Cheng Yanjin respectfully saluted Li Shimin.

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

"Put this man in a prison, and no one will be allowed to approach him without my permission."

"Torture me strictly, I want to know who instructed him, and what is the purpose?"

Li Shimin looked at the one-eyed dragon and said in a deep voice.

Whether it is Li Ke or not, maybe we will soon know.

Cheng Yanjin sat down, and Wang De asked people to escort the one-eyed dragon away.

"Cheng Biting Jin, is this line of work hard?"

Li Shimin's face improved a lot, and he asked Cheng for warmth.

"Hey, I haven't said hard work for many years of marching and fighting, why is it hard to take a person?"

Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

Compared to marching and fighting, escorting individuals is really nothing.

"It's okay if it's not hard, I'll rest assured that I'll arrange another task for you."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Cheng Yanjin immediately got up and arched his hand.

"You take five hundred people and be Fang Yuan's deputy."

"Follow him to Lishan, and you will do whatever he tells you to do?"

Li Shimin pointed to Fang Yuan on the side and said.

"yes."

Cheng Yanjin was stunned, and then looked at Fang Yuan on the side, it should be.

"Let's go rest first, and leave early tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

"The last will be retired."

Cheng bit Jin Gong and said.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to command General Cheng?"

Fang Yuan sighed.

Cheng Yanjin is a famous general and has a high status among military generals.

But this is not important, the important thing is that he is still the prince of the country, his identity is above himself, will he listen to himself?

"Don't worry, Cheng Yanjin will listen to you."

"Go down, I have something to say to Wang Shiyu."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment before getting up and leaving.

Out of the imperial study, the sun had already begun to set.

Seeing that it was such an hour, Fang Yuan didn't bother to go back to the household department.

"Husband, what did Your Majesty say when you let you enter the palace?"

Back at the house, Du Miaoyan greeted him and asked worriedly.

The emperor definitely didn't want more people to know about the heirloom jade seal.

But it is estimated that Fang Yuan already knew about the heirloom jade seal.

Under such circumstances, Du Miaoyan was worried about what the emperor wanted Fang Yuan to do.

"Let me lead the troops to Lishan tomorrow, and Cheng Yanjin will be my deputy."

Fang Yuan sighed.

Tell Du Miaoyan what happened in the palace.

"Lishan is so dangerous, I want to accompany you."

Du Miao's face froze, and he said with a straight face.

"Don't use it?"

Fang Yuan didn't want Du Miaoyan to be tired.

"No, I have to go."

Du Miaoyan is very persistent.

She was worried that Fang Yuan wouldn't be able to take care of herself over there.

The imperial court sent troops twice in a row and returned with a feather, which shows that it is really dangerous.

The current situation in Lishan is estimated to be targeted, and those who want to fish in troubled waters do not like the people of the imperial court.

"Okay, let's go together."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

It's good to have Du Miaoyan together, it's safer.

I also want to call Xue Rengui to be more secure.

But in any case, this trip to Lishan is more than lucky.

And there was another point, Fang Yuan felt that it was difficult to get the heirloom jade seal.

First of all, I don't know where it is or if anyone has found it.

Secondly, there is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and there will definitely be many institutions and so on.

The people who went in haven't come out yet, and no one can say what is going on inside.

It can only be said that this trip is not simple, and the task may not be completed, so let's protect our own safety first.

The next day, Cheng Yanjin arrived and waited outside the Fang Mansion with five hundred soldiers.

"Fang Shilang, have you done it, it's time to go."

Cheng Yanjin shouted at the door.

He did not come in, but sat on his horse.

When shouting to Fang Fang's house, people passing by looked at him.

The gathering of five hundred soldiers at the gate of the Fang Mansion was an attraction in itself.

What's more, there was always trouble in Fangfu during this time, and it has become the object of subconscious attention of the people.

"General Cheng, it's so early, have you had breakfast?"

Fang Yuan, Du Miaoyan and Xue Rengui walked out.

Still holding a few buns in his hand, he shook it to Cheng and asked him if he wanted it.

"Eat, eat."

Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, and he didn't need Fang Yuan's buns.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan threw the bun to Hongfu and asked her to eat it or take it back.

Soon, a few horses from the house were brought over, and Fang Yuan and the three of them got on their horses and set off with Cheng Yanjin and the others.

on the road

"Fang Shilang, is my family doing business with you?"

Cheng Yanjin looked ahead and asked.

"It's a cooperative business."

Fang Yuan and Cheng Yanjin were side by side, also looking ahead.

I haven't left the city yet, so the speed is relatively slow, and I walk with the horse.

"Is it possible to pay dividends at the end of this month?"

Cheng bit Jin Oh and continued to ask.

"Not yet, like that in the middle of next month."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

It's November now, and the dividends will be paid in December.

"He shouldn't be able to pay it back then, just send it to my mansion when the dividends are divided."

Cheng Yanjin nodded slightly and said.

"It's okay, I can wait for Everywhere to come back."

Fang Yuan was slightly surprised, and his smile did not decrease.

Before leaving, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and the others did not explain and sent them to their homes.

According to the previous situation, they were notified to come over for a meeting before the dividends, and then they came over and moved the money back by themselves.

It's not that Cheng Biting Jin's way is not good, but Fang Yuan wants Cheng Chumo and the others to authorize before he will send the money to their house.

"I'm Chu Mo's father, what does it matter if I send Chu Mo's money to my family?"

Cheng Yanjin said with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course it doesn't matter."

"But I'll have to get the go-to of Chumo."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said firmly.

"You're also a civil official, why can't you be flexible?"

Cheng Yanjin's tone was a lot rougher.

"General Cheng, forgive me, the members of my Bafang Group all have contracts."

"I can't give their money to anyone else without their permission, unless they have an accident, the money can only be taken by them, or to the person who authorized them."

Fang Yuan is also a positive color path.

"So you can't trust Lao Cheng?"

Cheng Biting Jin reined in the war horse and said in a deep voice.

"No, General Cheng, don't get me wrong."

Fang Yuan sighed in his heart and also restrained his horse.

"Uncle Cheng, Fang Yuan also guarantees the safety of the money."

"After all, your family has a big business, and Chu Mo not only has your father, but also several aunts and some brothers."

"If they all ask Fang Yuan for money, then in the end, they don't know whose money is in their hands, and Chu Mo may not come back, don't you want to?"

Du Miaoyan stepped aside and said in a good voice.

In addition to his father, most of the powerful people in Chang'an City have several aunts in their families.

When there are many aunts, it seems to be a small harem, and it is normal for them to fight openly and secretly, or even fight with each other.

At this time, the money should be optimistic, otherwise it will fall into the hands of others, and it may really not come back, and Cheng Chumo may blame Fang Yuan's side at that time.

"Or you doll can talk."

Cheng Biting Jin glanced at Fang Yuan and smiled at Du Miaoyan.

Fang Yuan smiled, as an apology for Cheng Biting Jin.

There's no way, I have to rely on Cheng Biting Jin to be obedient when I go to Lishan, and I can't make too much trouble.

The people set out again, and soon went out of the city.

Once out of town, the speed picks up.

However, there were only a few people on horseback, and the others were infantry.

Therefore, although the speed was accelerated, it was not very fast, and I rested for a while on the way, and arrived in an hour.

"It's terrible, the blood is flowing from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain."

Cheng Yanjin looked at the dried blood at the foot of the mountain, and said with a solemn expression.

At the foot of the mountain, you can hear the sound of ping-pong bells from above, and occasionally you can hear screams.

What's even more terrifying is that from time to time I see someone sneaking up from a hidden corner, and there are people with hoes.

"It's not as chaotic as it was at the beginning."

"But it's still easy to hide here, and we're afraid it's going to be dangerous."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He looked up with a solemn expression.

Lishan is very tall and has many trees.

It looks like this, and you can't see anything.

But if there is an ambush, it will be a fatal blow.

There was Du Chuke who was suffering before, and Fang Yuan was also very worried.

"The enemy is in the dark, and it must be dangerous for so many of us."

"But we didn't have to change our ways, we first dispersed, infiltrated as ordinary people, went up to the towering pine above, and then gathered."

Cheng Yanjin also knew that the imperial court had sent troops to return the first two times.

Therefore, he was very cautious, adapted to local conditions, and felt that he and others had to be in the dark.

"Good!"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

In this way, the danger is greatly reduced.

The crowd dispersed and secretly went up the mountain in batches and at different times.

But on this trip, Fang Yuan and the others soon encountered big problems.
