Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

The cold winter wind blows life pain.

On the official road leading to Lin'an City, a carriage was driving slowly.

Several guards escorted them all the way on good horses. Anyone who saw them would know that the status of the people in the carriage was extremely noble.

In fact, the cold wind was howling outside, but spring was blowing inside the carriage.

Thick fur is used to keep warm all around, and soft mink fur seat cushions are covered.

"Your Highness, you will be able to enter the city soon, and this subordinate has ordered someone to go back and inform the princess first."

The escort beside the carriage was the people from the Huangcheng Division. After arriving in the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, the Huangcheng Division secretly recruited many experts. A group of people were screened.

However, there are still not enough manpower.

"understood."

Inside the carriage, Li Changshou closed his eyes and nodded.

He was keeping warm, anyway, it doesn't matter if the sky is falling, the warm fragrance and warm jade are really the best consolation in winter.

"Your Highness, there are others outside..."

"It's okay, I just hug him to keep warm, and I won't do other things."

"You said that from the beginning, didn't you..."

Bai Luoxian gave her a blank look with a pretty reproach, and in the end she could only let Li Changshou hold her. In fact, she was also somewhat attached to this embrace. In the past, she was still bound by the strict rules and principles of the teacher's school, but now even the teacher's school condoned her. What else does she have? Worried?
"You have been in the underground palace for the past few months, have you gained weight?"

Feeling Xiao Nizi's tenderness and warmth, Li Changshou couldn't help frowning. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the soft flesh on his waist was pinched severely by a soft and boneless jade hand.

Pinching is not enough, and even rotated 180 degrees for half a circle!
hiss!
Do women do this trick?
self-taught?
"If His Highness dislikes it, Luo Xian will return to the teacher's school!"

"Okay, okay, Gu is wrong, Xian'er is not fat, that is Fengyun!"

Li Changshou hurriedly begged for mercy, this little girl didn't know the severity of her attack, even if Grandmaster Tianpin didn't use a little bit of skill, this skill was really ruthless!

That is to say, only the gods on land can bear it, otherwise he will have to be injured.

"Really, are you really fat?"

Qi returned to Qi, but Bai Luoxian still couldn't help but feel unconfident, "I don't eat much in the underground palace, and I still practice daily..."

The life of Xianmen is not considered poor, but it is definitely not comparable to the extravagant life of the dignitaries in the capital.

The key point is that even if the women in this immortal sect don't eat vegetarian food and recite the Buddha's name, they usually eat some vegetarian vegetables and vegetables, and occasionally eat some sea fish to improve their taste.

"Let Gu take a good test!"

Li Changshou was also very serious, and with Bai Luoxian's blushing acquiescence, he finally came to a conclusion.

"It's getting fatter here."

"It seems to be a little fatter here."

"And... oh! Didn't you let Gu say it? A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

"Your Highness, Luo Xian is a little girl, not a gentleman!"

"hiss!"

……

After leaving for a few days, Lin'an City looked calm.

However, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Guan Peng coming in a hurry, obviously he had something to report.

Li Changshou could only signal Lin Luoxi, as the mistress of the house, to make some arrangements, and then went to the study.

Well, anyway, he is not too worried about the fire in the backyard. As far as the weak fighting power of the girls in the backyard is concerned, they are all defeated by him together. Now it can be said that they have formed an offensive and defensive alliance to deal with him.

Gong fight?

Maybe in the future, but right now they are not in that leisurely mood, they are huddling together to keep warm.

"So whether the backyard is peaceful or not depends on whether the master is tough enough!"

Li Changshou sighed with emotion. His talent in martial arts might not be very good, and his political awareness and skills were relatively ordinary, but the Nine Suns Magic Art and Nine Suns Saint Body could at least guarantee the peace of his home.

that's enough!
"What did you say, Your Highness?"

In the study, Guan Peng looked at Li Changshou with a lot of emotion and couldn't help asking.

"It's okay, what's the matter with you coming here in a hurry?"

"The subordinates do have something important to do."

Guan Peng quickly mentioned the business, "His Royal Highness left secretly a few days ago, and ordered his subordinates to watch the inside and outside of Lin'an Mansion. These days, as His Highness expected, several aristocratic families secretly complained about His Highness's previous actions."

"Have you dealt with it?"

Li Changshou was not surprised. There were about a dozen aristocratic families in Lin'an Mansion and even the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of them were not well-established, but there were still a few families with profound heritage, and their inheritance had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Human, material and financial resources cannot be underestimated.

"Your Highness, this subordinate was about to attack secretly, but someone moved faster than this subordinate."

Guan Peng's expression was rather subtle, and he didn't dare to play charades, so he directly stated the reason, "It's the young master of the Fang family, Fang Chen, Mr. Fang."

"Fang Chen?"

Li Changshou was very surprised. He didn't really care about that kid Fang Chen.

For Fang Ruan and Zhuang Die'er's sake, give him some care. As for whether he is a talent or not, he doesn't care. At worst, he will be able to inherit the title for generations of prosperity and wealth throughout his life.

"Yes, Fang Chen directly uprooted those two families with the power of the Fang family, and sent all the evidence of the two families' violations of law and discipline over the years to Zhang Junshou."

When Guan Peng came up one by one, he was also a little dissatisfied.

It's completely grabbing food from his Imperial City Secretary.

"In addition, Fang Chen counted all the family property confiscated by those two families yesterday, saying that he wanted to ask His Highness where it would be better to transport it?"

Hey!
this kid!
Have filial piety!
Li Changshou really didn't expect that Fang Chen, the dude who is the number one in eating, drinking and having fun, can still do things?

Of course, strictly speaking, Fang Chen's move is to use his name to pretend to be a tiger, but he doesn't care about the process when things are done.

Besides, the two small aristocratic families that were exterminated did have a lot of evidence enough to copy their families and exterminate their clans.

No one will say half a word of nonsense when it spreads.

"The old rule is to keep one hundred thousand coins for the Imperial City Secretary alone, and the other gold and silver as military pay."

"promise!"

Guan Peng bowed quickly, and anyone who had followed Li Changshou for a long time would be well aware of Li Changshou's generosity.

Who is not for a few taels of silver?
It depends on who you follow.

Is there anyone in this world who can be more generous than His Royal Highness Shouwang?
"Your Highness, Lord Zuo ordered someone to send the news that he has found out many of General Zhao's old troops, and the list has been sent. In addition..."

"Anything else, hesitating."

"Master Zuo said that he wanted to introduce someone to His Highness, but this person's status is quite special, Lord Zuo dare not make decisions without authorization."

Li Changshou wasn't very interested at first, Zuo Zhixiong was a general, and he was very serious about death.

His mind is full of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. To be honest, if he hadn't had the secret decree from the emperor, Zuo Zhixiong would never have been easily subdued by him.

Naturally, I also know his character and style, "Who is it?"

"This person's name is Huo Qing!"

"Huo Qing?"

Li Changshou didn't have the slightest impression of this person in his mind, "What identity? Why don't you dare to make decisions without authorization?"

"Your Highness, this person is the orphan of General Huo, and General Huo was killed by His Majesty, but the young master of the Huo family was rescued..."

After Guan Peng explained for a long time, Li Changshou finally understood.

It was committed by the imperial court, and it was also the fish that slipped through the Huo family back then.

When talking about the Huo family, Li Changshou was more or less impressed. It was more than 20 years ago, and many people were involved, not only the emperor, but also the imperial concubine and empress.

However, the Huo family was once honored and served as the Shannan Jiedu envoy, and the whole family was always at a disadvantage in leading the army.

It can be said that half of the prosperity and prosperity of the Daqian Dynasty is actually due to the Huo family. At the beginning, Mobei was eager to move south and attack the Central Plains, but 20 soldiers were defeated by Huo's army with 10 horses.

Afterwards, he conquered Mobei three times in a few years, killed countless enemies, and made several tribes in Mobei cry for their fathers and mothers to kneel down and beg for mercy, and were finally forced to pay tribute for peace.

But such a brilliant feat has also caused disasters.

"Back then, the case was very involved, Master Zuo didn't dare to decide on his own, so he came here to report to His Highness."

Guan Peng is young, but the Huangcheng Division can find out the case of the year. Even the Huo family was expelled. There is also the shadow of the Huangcheng Division. Absolutely.

"It's really more difficult."

Li Changshou rubbed his chin. Many people were involved behind the destruction of the Huo family. At least the imperial concubine was the enemy of the Huo family.

Of course, it's not just the noble concubine who promoted it, the queen of the year, and the old emperor, which one is not the executioner?

"Find the whereabouts of the descendants of the Huo family?"

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Zuo did not elaborate, but his subordinates have ordered people to investigate secretly and have some clues."

Guan Peng quickly told the news one by one, "There was only one youngest son of the Huo family who survived, and he was secretly taken in by the Huo family. Later, he changed his name to Ling Wei and grew up."

"Ten years ago, Ling Wei entered the Tianji Building to practice, and in recent years he has gained a lot of fame in the world."

Li Changshou had heard about the Tianji Building.

To put it bluntly, it is a place where a group of high-level people live in seclusion. There are great scholars in the world, there are also high-level people who have achieved the Tao, and there are old people in the world. minister.

And the Tianji Building has existed for a long time. Apart from the Demon Gate and the Immortal Gate, the Tianji Building has the longest history.

"Don't touch him for the time being, let Mr. Zuo touch him."

Li Changshou waved his hand, Tianjilou wouldn't take it to heart, Tianjilou would have to show face if Xianmen came forward, and the relationship between Tianjilou and Xianmen had been good for hundreds of years.

The question now is, how can the Huo family be used by him in the tragedy of the Huo family?
"By the way, how capable is this Huo Qing, who is now Ling Wei?"

He knew how powerful the Huo family's army was back then, but how much ability did the Huo family's descendants inherit?
"His Royal Highness, Ling Wei has obtained the true biography of Tianjilou. There are many rumors about him in the world. His chess, piano, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and prose are full of praise. In addition, Ling Wei is twenty-five years old this year. , and is good at the art of war."

Li Changshou didn't care about other abilities, the key was being good at the art of war.

"Find someone to test and see how capable they are. Just being good at the art of war on paper is not the only talent you want."

"promise!"

……

In the dead of night, the candles in the backyard were still on.

Li Changshou smiled, but as soon as he stepped into the backyard, he saw Fang Rou coming up to him.

"Your Highness, the princess arranged for Miss Bai to stay in her room."

"Xi'er arranged in your own room?"

Wouldn't Mars hit the earth, just blow it up?
If there is any risk in the backyard now, it is Lin Luoxi and Bai Luoxian, a saint of the demon sect, and a descendant of the immortal sect.

Hearing this, Li Changshou hurriedly went to the main house, opened the door and took a look. He didn't expect the swords to be drawn, but he seemed to be in harmony.

but!

There is clearly a hint of gunpowder in it.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, you should go to rest in the houses of the other sisters."

Lin Luoxi smiled sweetly and winked at Li Changshou.

"Your Highness, Sister Xi'er is right."

Bai Luoxian smiled lightly, but that smile...

"Only one request."

Li Changshou entered the room and closed the door, then walked up to the two women with earnest words.

"any request?"

Lin Luoxi and Bai Luoxian spoke in unison.

"If you want to start a fight, you can find an orphan, and the orphan will single out the two of you!"

He said it very seriously, so that the two of them had to tear down the house!

When the two women heard it, their faces turned red, and then they spoke in unison again.

"Pooh!"
