[Comprehensive martial arts] Princess she wants to build infrastructure

This was Li Yu's idea long ago.

After solving Shi Guanyin's matter, she was going to choose to confess part of her own affairs.

As for why it is a part, it is because some truths are still too abstract and difficult to understand.If you say it, it will only increase the difficulty of explanation.

So tonight, Li Yu plans to invite everyone to have dinner together on the second floor of the small building.

There has been no team building for more than three months, and there should be a wave of team building.

In the evening, everyone sat around the table.Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia's injuries had already healed, but Zhan Zhao's complexion was still a little pale. He was the most injured and hadn't fully recovered yet.

Chu Liuxiang and Yidianhong were also present.

Such a configuration is strange.Because when the princess usually invites everyone to dinner, at least the girls Yueyun, Yeshan, and Shen Sanniang are present, and there must be Zhao Si, Zhu Ting and others, and the table is very lively.

Now, only the six of them were present, and even the maid who served the dishes was sent away.

It's not like eating, but more like saying something important.

Sure enough, after three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the princess stood up, the smile on her face suddenly softened, and she held the wine glass in her hand, and said to everyone: "I want to... thank you everyone for the matter of Shi Guanyin."

As he said that, he suddenly gave a deep bow and saluted everyone.

This is really a great gift. People in the royal family have long been used to not taking other people's lives as their own. If subordinates sacrifice their lives to save princes and nobles, these nobles will only take it for granted. Do you really feel like you should be thankful?

That is, the princess, who regards everyone's life as life.

However, the quacks have always been proud. If it wasn't for the fact that the princess behaved differently from other nobles, how could they be willing to work under the princess?

Lu Xiaojia hooked the corners of his mouth, and there was a smile in those indifferent eyes that had never changed for thousands of years. He threw a peanut and chewed it, but said in his mouth: "I am yours." Guard, I didn't protect you well, you thank me so much, what should I say?"

With a smile on his face, Chu Liuxiang played with the wine glass in his hand, and said softly, "This Stone Guanyin was finally killed by yourself."

Li Yu said: "These are two different things."

She drank the wine in the glass and sat down again, showing a smile.

But Lu Xiaojia said: "I saved you once, you saved me twice, but I still owe you once!"

Li Yu smiled without saying a word.

Zhan Zhao also pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that he had indeed seen the right person at the beginning, walking with the princess, even if he entered the public school, it would not be something shameful.

Lu Xiaojia drank three or two cups of high-grade liquor produced by the Princess Mansion, her face was already blushing, and she asked without hesitation: "But what kind of medicine did you feed me? That medicine is too powerful, even All the knife scars on my stomach have been erased."

Is this really the medicine that can be found in the world?

At that time, he was hit in the chest by Shi Guanyin's palm, his sternum broke instantly, and he flew out of the window again, and fell to the ground, a broken sternum stuck out straight out.

Before he passed out, he felt that he probably would never survive again. Throughout the ages, he has never seen such an injury that survived.

At that time, Lu Xiaojia only hated that she was not good at learning, that she couldn't stab Shi Guanyin to death with a single sword!

Unexpectedly, he survived, healed without any pain, and even the scar on his stomach from the knife stabbed by Ding Lingzhong before was completely erased.

This is not the most exaggerated.

Lu Xiaojia is actually born with a disability, but his disability is not in the limbs, and has never been discovered by anyone. He thinks that he will be like this in his life. Unexpectedly...

Unexpectedly, in the process of recuperating from his injuries, he unexpectedly... discovered that all the problems on his body were healed!Including the pain left by sword practice, etc...

Lu Xiaojia: "..."

Is this the royal secret medicine?

No... that's not right either.

As far as he knew, the first emperor... that is, the princess's father, died of taking the elixir. He was too presumptuous and wandered around in the harem all year round. I ate myself to death.

If the royal family had this kind of secret medicine, they would definitely give it to the emperor first, so why would the emperor ask the immortals for medicine, and finally die in the poisonous medicine?

And the princess has at least three of them. Doesn't this magical medicine stay in the deep palace, and give it to a princess who is almost equivalent to being exiled?

The more I thought about it, the more weird it seemed.Now, taking advantage of the alcohol, he also asked.

Li Yu didn't show any embarrassment when he heard this question, he just smiled and said: "I also have a story about this matter, I want to tell you, whether it is true or not, you can judge for yourself."

All eyes were on her face.

A somewhat dazed expression appeared on the princess's face, as if she was recalling, but also seemed to be restraining her words.

She said: "In the beginning, this person...was just an ordinary person. She encountered an accident and suddenly became a lonely ghost. When she opened her eyes again, she resurrected from the corpse and became a strange woman in a strange world."

Everyone was stunned.

Resurrect the dead?This kind of thing that only exists in the scriptures is actually true?

Little Red's eyes were burning, his brows were tightly frowned, and for some reason, a scene from a long time ago surfaced in his mind.

At that time the princess sneered and said to him: "Maybe I am a ghost? Because I don't want to die yet, I have to cling to a living person and live!"

When she said this, her face was painful and depressed, as if she had given up on herself.At that time, Dianhong was stunned, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't know what she wanted to say.

Is that...literally?She told him so early that she was just a lonely ghost?

A cannibalistic emotion suddenly rolled in those dead gray eyes of Dian Hong, his fists were suddenly clenched tightly, and his body was as stiff as a javelin.

Li Yu didn't notice his expression, but continued to think about it: "The resurrection of the dead may be the manifestation of the gods, and the gods have been online all the time, as long as the lonely ghost uses this woman's body to do good things. Accumulating merit will give her a steady stream of benefits, such as food that does not exist in the Central Plains, a map of veins and arteries on the human body, a ring that can summon the weather, and the panacea that can cure all diseases."

Lu Xiaojia raised her hand.

Li Yu stopped and motioned for him to speak.

Lu Xiaojia asked sincerely: "What do you mean online?"

Li Yu: "..."

She doesn't want to talk to this man.

She pretended not to hear, and concluded: "So... You don't need to worry about her in many things, she does have many ways that others have never seen before."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly said: "Since the gods have given the elixir, why don't they just teach the magic skills directly, so that even Shi Guanyin can't beat him, wouldn't it be better to be killed directly by the sword?"

He grasped the crux of the problem.

Li Yu was stunned, and then said after a while: "Is it possible for mortals to decide what the gods want to give? There is no such thing."

Chu Liuxiang raised her lips and smiled, and sighed again: "So you see, even if this lucky little girl is protected by gods, she still needs to be more concerned about her personal safety."

He didn't seem to have any bad acceptance, he believed whatever Li Yu said.

Li Yu sighed: "You can believe what I say, Xiangshuai is like this, so he is not afraid of being abducted."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Are you a kidnapper? That's good. It's better for you to kidnap me than I'm still thinking about how to kidnap you."

In this case, Chu Liuxiang could say it in such a normal tone.

Chu Liuxiang's intention was on the princess, and everyone present knew that when he said this, everyone had different thoughts, and it was as if they didn't hear it, especially a little red, who didn't even move or raise her head. It seems to have become a wooden sculpture.

Li Yu glanced at him, didn't talk to him, and said again: "This is the story I want to tell, you can believe it or not."

Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "If it's true, why did the princess tell us?"

Li Yu said "Huh?"

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips, but frowned slightly, and said, "The princess is pregnant with treasures, just like this elixir, if it is passed on, it will be enough for everyone in the world to stare at. Such a secret, why bother?" Want to say?"

He knew the princess's secret, but he didn't quite agree with her saying it like this.

Others feel the same way, the world is treacherous, and it is a great disaster to have a treasure.Back then, when the Plum Blossom Bandit reappeared, countless people died for a golden silk armor that could prevent hidden weapons, and in the end the fledgling Flying Swordsman took it away.

Now this elixir, everyone who has taken it knows how miraculous it is.If people in the Jianghu know about such things, there will be no peace in Yinzhou.

Li Yu suddenly smiled.

She said: "I said this to thank you. You are willing to sacrifice your life for me, and I have to be honest, so that you don't worry about me like that in the future."

Her tone was soft but firm.

In fact, this is something that Li Yu has always wanted to vent after traveling for more than a year.

If a person hides a big secret in his heart and cannot tell anyone, it must be painful.Because it represents isolation from the whole world.

But that day in Zhan Zhao's room, seeing him hurt so badly that he couldn't even speak, but still apologized for not protecting her properly, she had to say that she was greatly shocked.

After the shock, a wonderful feeling came to her heart again. After thinking for a long time, she felt that this world was not as strange as she thought. The people she knew in this world were loyal and reliable, and they could share secrets. people.

That's why she decided to modify the matter of time travel and tell everyone.

After she finished speaking, she really felt relieved, as if she even breathed a little lighter.

After everyone listened, they were silent for a while.

Chu Liuxiang was the first to speak, and he sighed with a light smile: "In that case, I have to keep this secret in the coffin, otherwise it will be very difficult for our little princess to get into trouble."

Fu Hongxue's eyes that were always dark were a little strange. He lowered his head and pursed his mouth, as if he was thinking about something, but didn't speak.

Lu Xiaojia sighed: "I think I'll be working for you for the rest of my life. If this happens again next time, I'll wait for you to get me back. I don't believe anyone else."

Zhan Zhao didn't say a word, but made a deep bow to Li Yu to show his commitment.

There was a little red but he didn't speak, there was something deep in those dead gray eyes, and he didn't know what to think.

After the banquet was over, Yidianhong was about to leave the princess mansion.

He was originally a killer who lived everywhere, and when he came back some time ago, he didn't bring any luggage with him, so tonight he also planned to leave just like this.

He was dressed in a black dress, with a thin sword stuck obliquely in his waist, and his body was straight. He glanced at the main house where the princess lived, turned around and was about to stride away.

But Chu Liuxiang said: "Brother Hong is leaving?"

He turned his head indifferently, and saw Chu Liuxiang leaning against a wall, with a smile on his lips, asking him lazily.

Dianhong smiled mockingly, and said: "The matter is over, I still don't leave, what are you doing here?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "I guess you can also see that this is not the only secret of the princess."

A little red eyes and dark.

This is natural, she just said, she is a lonely ghost.But who was this lonely ghost before his death?How did he become a lonely soul again? Li Yu didn't even mention these things.

This question, Yidianhong had thought of it as early as when she was talking about it.

At the same time, he also remembered what Li Yu once called out in his dream, the person named "Li Jianwen", with such a hateful voice, as if he wanted to swallow that person alive... As a killer, a little red is naturally emotional towards "hatred" is the most sensitive.

Now, once he is connected with what Li Yu said, he can naturally guess that this "Li Jianwen" has a lot to do with Li Yu's accident, and even...he probably caused Li Yu to die in an accident that person.

He went to the vast expanse, unwilling to be a killer anymore, but he didn't know what to do. With a thought, he decided to look for this person named "Li Jianwen", maybe he could bring him back to Li Yu for disposal.

He withdrew his thoughts, and said to Chu Liuxiang coldly, "So what?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Not at all, I just hope that if Brother Hong finds out who has harmed our little princess, he can beat me up twice."

The corner of the red mouth suddenly evoked a cruel chuckle.

He said no more, turned around and left the princess mansion.

As for the princess, she naturally knew that a little red was gone.

A little red values ​​love and righteousness, and has a pure mind when it comes to matters between men and women, and accepts death.Even though Li Yu has made up his mind to change the way he handles feelings, he still feels that he can't bear such a heavy burden.

After all, the prodigal son's sincerity is easy to get and easy to let go. Even if you make a mistake, you can still speak clearly and be friends.

But if you break a little red heart, you will never want to stick his heart back in this life.

And Li Yu happens to be a person who can easily hurt other people's hearts, so she decides that she and Yidianhong are really inappropriate.

And here, Chu Liuxiang was also waiting for Li Yu's reply.

Li Yu thought for a long time, called him over, and announced his decision.

Chu Liuxiang smiled and listened, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "... probationary period? Three months?"

Li Yu nodded solemnly.

She explained in a serious manner: "No one can tell what will happen when it comes to feelings. I think we should treat it well now, but what if we find a lot of inappropriate places in the process? So, let's put this expectation first." Lower the value, don't make a pledge of eternal love, this trial period is both yours and mine, whoever thinks it is inappropriate, then quickly bring it up, just stop the loss in time."

She has made up her mind to slowly learn to accept others, but this kind of thing is like learning advanced mathematics, you can't learn it if you just want to learn it. In order to prevent the tragedy like Lu Xiaofeng from happening again, she still chooses to make an agreement in advance.

This made Chu Liuxiang laugh and cry.

She looked very afraid and responsible, which made Chu Liuxiang feel like a big yellow girl who would one day be abandoned with eyes downcast and tears in her eyes.

But such an open explanation made Chu Liuxiang feel that the princess was really serious about him.

Love and love are hazy and beautiful things, but there are countless tragedies in this world, which are caused by hiding words in their hearts.

Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly, nodded in a serious manner, and said, "Okay, okay, then the probationary period, the probationary period."

Li Yu said again: "After the three-month probationary period is over, you will have to make a work report."

Chu Liuxiang: "...What report?"

Li Yu covered his face with his sleeves, and said with a light smile, "The debriefing report... just tell me how you have performed in the past three months."

Chu Liuxiang let out a chuckle, and suddenly grabbed Li Yu's hand, and immediately hugged her into her arms, lowered her head and whispered in her ear: "It seems that I really have to perform well, three months After that, you have to have something to say."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable heart palpitation with such a beautiful thing in his arms. He stretched out his hand and gently brushed Li Yu's lips with his thumb, his eyes darkened.

Chu Liuxiang said hoarsely: "But you don't know, I wanted to kiss Fangze as early as three or four months ago."

Chu Liuxiang was originally a handsome man, but now he was caught in lust, her eyes were as dark as ink, her back was leaning against his chest, the chest was so hot that her fingers curled up slightly.

Surrounded by hormones, Li Yu trembled slightly.

Chu Liuxiang raised the corners of her mouth, smiled lightly, and then kissed her lips.

After waiting for the princess's reply, Chu Liuxiang was very proud of himself. He was a lazy person. He was a prodigal son who made his home around the world and liked thrilling things, but now he stayed in the princess mansion and was inseparable from the princess all day long.

It was just the three-month trial period, but the two of them didn't stay together for long, because something happened in Yinzhou City, and Li Yu became busy.

After Yinzhou entered the winter, it entered a routine day when the city was closed by heavy snow.

Although a lot of roads have been built in Yinzhou this year, but with such heavy snowfall, even the highways have to be closed!In modern times, salt is often used to eliminate snow, but in ancient times when salt was still a precious strategic material, this method is really... outrageously extravagant.

Let's seal it up, anyway, there is enough food in the city, everyone has a kang to sleep in, and some spare money to play with, this winter will be a stable and prosperous winter.

However, the problem arises here.

stable and rich.

When farmers enter the slack time, they play together in groups of threes and twos, whether it is a small gamble or not, dice Pai Gow and Mahjong are all games.

Even in modern times, the chess and card room is booming.People have to have fun when they are free, so Li Yu doesn't care about this phenomenon. He just asks people to check the big chess and card rooms, and they are not allowed to play too big games.

It's just this interrogation, but the investigation revealed something.

Because something more serious was found out, that is... drug addiction.

In these chess and card rooms, someone actually sells a strange kind of tobacco ointment, which is smoked in a pipe. People who smoke this kind of thing gradually become thinner, their eye sockets are sunken, and they are sluggish. If they don't smoke for a day, they will feel uncomfortable. Scratch your ears and cheeks.

As soon as this matter was reported to Li Yu's desk, Li Yu's expression changed instantly. She had already realized that the matter of the smoke cream was not simple.

She ordered someone to collect some tobacco ointment and checked it herself.At first glance, it was shocking.This tobacco ointment is clearly opium, but it is made of poppies, and it is worth thousands of gold.

This Yinzhou city has just started, and there are mostly farmers and small industrial and commercial practitioners in the city. There are very few big businessmen and landlords. How can such big cigarettes be sold in Yinzhou city?It's really weird.

So she ordered someone to investigate again.

This investigation is incredible.There are actually many peasants in the city who have been infected with this kind of smoke cream. It is said that the first time or two of this kind of smoke cream is tested for free in the chess and card room. Instantly turned around and sold at a high price.

Where do farmers have the money to buy expensive cigarettes?So I had to borrow the usury that came out of nine and thirteen returns. Now, many farmers in the city owed usury.

As soon as the investigation results were put on the desk, Li Yu instantly understood that behind this effort was not for money, but for land.

Land annexation.

Under the governance of Li Yu, Yinzhou can be said to make the farmers' lives very comfortable.There are fields, subsidies, and low taxes, so I can have a lot of spare money this year.

With such a good life, who else would sell their land and make it a tenant farmer for others?Isn't that a brain problem?

Therefore, people in the city who intend to annex land have thought of a vicious method.

If there is no demand for land sales, then create demand for land sales.Let the farmers get addicted to drugs, and lure them to owe usury. When the time comes, if they don't pay the money, they will naturally sell their land.

But this method has a disadvantage, that is... the opium is very expensive, and the opium from the Western Regions is worth thousands of gold, that is not an exaggeration at all.

Even with fertile fields and rice fields, the initial cost is too high. As long as you do some calculations, you will know that this business is not worthwhile.

So, who is playing with these smoke creams, and what is he trying to do?
