Chapter 207: Intrigue (Part 1)

"Brother, you're finally back. Damn, I'm so embarrassed this time. I was beaten like this by someone with a palm." A Zhu's face on the hospital bed was blue. When he saw Li Feng, his eyes were full of joy, but he looked ashamed. "Fortunately, I finally fulfilled my mission. In the Shaanxi realm, our Golden Dragon Gang is the dominant player. The Green Forest masters over there were all collected by me. There were more than 200 masters who could use them."

Li Feng looked at Azhu, stretched out his hand and held Azhu's hand tightly. He said coldly: "Whoever touches you, I will kill anyone. Azhu, you have good cultivation. When you get sick, I will give you a good job! Ha, I wonder if you want to be the leader of the largest gang in the Yangtze River Basin? With the Jinyiwei backing up, if you don't grab all the valuable businesses on both sides of the Yangtze River, I will kick your ass." As he said, Li Feng's cold face seemed to have thawed, revealing a gentle look.

Azhu laughed loudly, her face full of joy. "Damn, do you look down on me, brother? Just give me a few masters who can fight, the Yangtze River will be ours. Hey, we were just dreaming back then. If we could become the boss of Suzhou Prefecture, it would be very majestic. I didn't expect that today, I, Azhu, could become the boss of the Yangtze River Basin, which would be even more majestic than our dreams back then."

Li Feng laughed and irresponsibly lifted Shui Yuanzi up and placed it in front of Azhu's bed. "Senior Shui, I will leave this brother to you. I will give you three days of effort. If you can make him a master with few rivals in the world, I will take you to play all over Yingtian Mansion. Even if you want to eat human flesh, I will get you the pork belly!"

Shui Yuanzi's saliva was almost flowing out, but he swept Azhu's body and shouted in anger: "What are you talking about? This kid has only been refining qi for less than 60 years. Is it so easy to become a master? Are you a god?"

He took out a small jade bottle from his arms, which contained the essence of thirty-dips of ten thousand-year-old stone stalactites. Li Feng threw it to Shui Yuanzi. "God? Are you a god? There are thirty-dips of ten thousand-year-old stone stalactites here. Maybe the heat will be deeper. No one can tell how old that cave is... Remember, I will inspect the goods in three days. If Azhu becomes very powerful, I will invite you to eat all over Yingtian Mansion. Otherwise, you can go to the military camp to have dinner with the fire-headed soldiers."

Shui Yuanzi's face wrinkled again, looking extremely cute. He snatched the ten thousand-year-old stone stalactite and muttered: "This kind of treasure is simply a tyrant for this bastard. Don't you know how much benefits can stone stalactites bring to those who practice Taoism?" He suddenly screamed, jumped up suddenly, pointed at Li Feng and scolded: "I see your subordinates, those young people in their teens and twenty years old, have more than two hundred and twenty years old. You, you, are you using this thing to improve their skills?"

Nodding for granted, Li Feng sighed softly: "There is no way. I have nothing except a large amount of stalactites on hand. But I need a group of experts to help me do my business, so..." Li Feng smiled shyly, and picked up Shui Yuanzi with mischievous glasses.

Shui Yuanzi was so angry that he screamed. He pounced on Li Feng's body. His thighs wrapped around Li Feng's waist, and his hands grabbed Li Feng's neck, and howled loudly: "Prodigal son, prodigal son, the essence of the ten thousand-year stone stalactites, do you use to improve your skills for ordinary people? Do you know? This thing can be taken when refining Qi, which can eliminate the heart fire, solidify the golden elixir, and condense the Nascent Soul. It is the best auxiliary medicine for those who practice Taoism. You actually swallow it for ordinary people? You, you, I will strangle you, a bastard who doesn't know what you are!"

Shui Yuanzi was so angry that even a wise and powerful figure could not touch such a genius treasure. And this kid Li Feng seemed to have many things on his body. He used his hands tightly and shouted ferociously: "Give me the stalactites!!! Otherwise, I will strangle you, the little bastard."

His body suddenly turned into a ball of spiritual energy, and a red light flashed in a flash. Li Feng had already condensed into a body three meters away. He casually held his hands behind his back and smiled: "You help my elder brother first. If my elder brother's skills grow so much that I am satisfied with me, I will give you ten kilograms!"

The only person who can calculate the essence of stalactites of ten thousand years is Li Feng in the Central Plains? When Shu Yuanzi heard this, his body, which was still floating in the air, immediately froze and fell to the back. His head was almost exploded, and such words kept popping up in his mind: "Ten kilograms? Ten kilograms of stalactites? I, I, Shui Yuanzi, are having nightmares? A small bottle of this treasure can make the Taoist practitioner break his head. Now, ten kilograms..."

Li Feng squeezed his eyes at Azhu, pointed at Shui Yuanzi, and signaled him to blackmail him. Azhu understood and smiled at Shui Yuanzi on the ground with malicious intentions. Li Feng nodded and flew downstairs. He also wanted to see Xiao Lizi and ask what was going on. The East Factory, the institution that supervised the Jinyiwei, but Zhu Di agreed to it and also asked Xiao Lizi to be in charge. Zhu Ren actually dared to send someone to hurt Xiao Lizi. If this matter is not clear, it will be difficult to do in the future.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the inner courtyard, several guards stopped to say hello to him, and Li Feng walked in quickly. Zhu Xi's inner courtyard originally prohibited foreign ministers from entering and leaving, but Li Feng was his most trusted confidant, so Zhu Xi specially ordered that Li Feng or those brought by Li Feng could go in directly without notice.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the yard where Zhu Xi lived, I heard the sound of a palm wind breaking through the air in the yard, and at the same time I heard the scream of Little Lizi: "Oh, my little ancestor, please use less force. This is an iron sandbag. Your hands are red and swollen. You are the prince, don't have to work so hard, right?"

Little Li Zi muttered like a housekeeper: "You are the prince. In the future, Your Highness will take over the throne, and you are the crown prince. We will leave this to our servants to do the fight and killing. You are the master's identity. You are just learning some ten-day brocade and playing with Tai Chi. Why are you still practicing the true power of the internal family?" Little Li Zi's voice was full of worries.

A clear and clear child smiled and said, "Little Lizi, I don't want to learn you. It's always good to learn martial arts well, so that others can't be so ugly."

Li Feng walked in with a smile. Under the osmanthus tree in the yard, there was a small watermelon-sized sandbag hanging. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old child in a brocade robe was struggling to slap the sandbag. Little Li Zi, wearing a purple eunuch uniform, squinted her swollen glasses and looked at the child helplessly. Seeing that Li Zi looked so embarrassed at the moment, her mouth was blue-purple, and there was a hema on her forehead. The circles on her left were as dark as a giant panda, she knew that he was beaten up very hard.

After coughing gently, the child suddenly turned around. Seeing that it was Li Feng, he nodded and continued to vent his anger towards the sandbag. Little Li Zi rushed down the steps excitedly and yelled: "Oh, my Li Feng brother, you are back. The master said just now that you have returned to Beijing, I don't believe it yet, so he said why didn't you be with your master. It seems that you went to see Li Zhu first? Hey, it's true that you value love the most."

Little Lizi nagged for a long time before she said viciously: "Brother, you have to give me this tone. The damn old eunuch Wei said that he was asking for martial arts, but he actually beat me up like this. Also, the establishment of the East Factory was personally ordered by His Majesty. Now they dare to make trouble behind my back, so I, Little Lizi, could not even take out a penny except for a group of people. How could I start working?"

"Old Eunuch Wei? Just kill him. Since he is used by others and makes things difficult for us, then kill him. The money matter is easy to resolve. You don't have to fight this lawsuit to His Majesty. I still have some fragments of silver on my hand. You can take it first, choose the headquarters of the East Factory, and then recruit soldiers and horses. It will be a big deal. Whoever deducts our money in the middle will destroy his entire family by then."

"Sir Li, now in the court, no one can help us. We can only rely on ourselves to kill a few disobedient ministers. The others will be obedient."

Little Lizi nodded with a smile on his face: "Isn't that the reason? Then old eunuch Wei, if I hadn't been able to beat him, he would have long since cracked him. But he was the old eunuch left by the previous dynasty. After His Majesty entered the city, he flattered him again. Eunuch Lu was not good at touching him randomly, otherwise, hum! The emperor told me to establish an Eastern Factory, and the imperial edict was still in my hands. But the Ministry of Revenue didn't give me a penny of money. Can I go to the street to work?"

The child who was making sandbags stopped and strode to them. Hongsheng said, "Little Lizi, if you don't have money, then come to our mansion to work. Didn't the emperor hand over the entire Tenglong secret spy to you to take care of? I happened to see if there are any masters among them and whether they are my opponents." After that, he showed his fist and waved it hard.

This son is Zhu Xi's eldest son, Zhu Zhanji. He likes to play with swords and guns the most in his daily life. However, he has a bit of both civil and military style. His poems and songs have followed his father's nature and play around with them, so he is very fond of Zhu Di. When Zhu Di fought in the south, he gave the city of Yanjing to Zhu Xi to take care of. To put it bluntly, part of the reason is that he likes this eldest grandson.

Li Feng winked at Little Li Zi, and Li Zi immediately laughed. Li Feng bent down, looked at Zhu Zhanji's sweaty face and said with a smile: "The little prince is very powerful. Is that Tenglong secret spy good? In other words, inquiring about information is the best ability in the world. If you want to do it, you are not your opponent to your prince... If the prince likes to learn martial arts, Li Feng will know a few powerful people and ask them to be the prince's teachers at that time, okay?"

Zhu Zhanji frowned and looked at Li Feng and shouted, "How are their abilities? If I can't beat me, I won't want it."

Li Feng immediately pointed out his finger and lit it out towards the sandbag that was three meters away. With a sneer, a green light flashed and the sandbag disappeared. Li Feng pointed out that the high temperature contained in the wind, and the iron sand inside were steamed into gas on the spot, where was there a little residue left?

Zhu Zhanji was stunned on the spot. He screamed and hugged Li Feng's arm tightly: "I, I want to learn this, you teach me this." He was full of excitement and finally saw a real master. Compared with Li Feng's methods, the internal martial arts that Li Zi taught him were simply garbage methods that were not worth mentioning.

Li Feng smiled and threw more than a dozen verbal words to him, sending Zhu Zhanji away. Seeing Zhu Zhanji running to meditate with joy and excitement, Li Zi smiled bitterly: "Brother, you are so good. If the little master learns how to be high, we will be sad as servants."

Li Feng said casually: "If your martial arts are higher than him, you can naturally watch him at any time. If your martial arts are not as good as him in the end, wouldn't it be a joke? Don't worry, the mantra I gave him will not be effective without practicing for two or three years, and you don't have to worry about him causing trouble for you... Manager Li, tell me about the recent incident in Yingtian Mansion, why did I go out for two or three months, and all the turtle turtle crawl on our heads?"

Li Zi was full of anger and frowned and shouted, "Isn't it the old monster of Cangfeng Castle? Originally, Ouyang Zhizun had surrendered to us. Their internal affairs supervisor, Mr. Qing, was about to lose power, and immediately took Gao Zhier from the third prince. In the Tianwu Palace, there are more than half of the personnel, and they are the masters of Cangfeng Castle in the past. Their castle lord has also come out of seclusion, and he has unconditionally supported Mr. Qing's decision, which has made Ouyang Zhizun dare not contact us."

Li Feng lowered his head, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Forget it, let's take this matter slowly, you can't be anxious. Go and send a message to Ouyang Supreme and say I want to see him tonight."

Little Lizi hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Late at night, singing and dancing on the Qinhuai River were in full swing. The lights projected the crazy flying figure on the river surface, and the entire Qinhuai River was filled with a strange charm. The smirk and lewd words made the entire river channel have a layer of obscene and depravity, which made people have to plunge their heads into. For thousands of years, the legend of countless talented men and beautiful women has been slowly wandering under the water like a ghost, ready to swallow a few more talented men and beautiful women at any time.

"Please invite the moon to the moon and make three people!" A middle-aged man shouted and rushed to the bow of a huge pleasure boat, and shouted with joy. His face turned red and he was already drunk. Three charming women rushed out of the cabin with laughter and thrust him onto the ground with all their hands and feet, and poured him a pot of fine wine. The middle-aged man howled a few times, suddenly took off his clothes and rushed towards the three women.

Li Feng stood on an extremely small fishing boat, looking indifferently at the most corrupt and depraved place in the world. Zhou Chu sat at the stern, shaking the cushion very carefully, slowly, allowing the fishing boat to slowly rise from the heart of the river against the water.

"Hmph, you saw that person just now, Zhao Sheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Humph, they want to fight with me Li Feng? They don't even see if they have any of their heads. If they order, the officials of the six ministries will all give me some materials to rectify them, and I will slowly kill them. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue seems to like the boys the most, right? They beat three ten-year-old boys to death. Miaozai, if they dare to deduct our money, I dare to destroy their nine clans."

Li Feng glanced at the hundreds of pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River with his eyes drifting. I wonder if the dignitaries and nobles who were looking for fun. If they knew that half of the backstage bosses of these pleasure boats were Li Feng, would they be so scared that they would be impotence for life? Be happy, be happy, the happier you are, the more materials you have to report on the secret report of the Jinyiwei.

Zhou Chu whispered: "Master, since you went south, Mr. Xu has laid out the vicinity of our "Jinhuayuan" like an iron barrel. The killer of the Nether Dragon Society has thirty strongholds within this radius of five miles; the Golden Dragon Gang has six helms within this range; our Jinyiwei has also set up an open office in the nearby courtyard, which is enough to confuse the ears and ears; the local garrison also has eight thousand elite troops stationed nearby in the camp, and the leader is Boss Zhao, who can act as our wings."

Li Feng nodded with satisfaction. He sat down at the bow of the boat, gently patted the river water, and said in a low voice: "Xu Qing is a good player in coordinating internal affairs. You have to learn from him well... However, after all, he is first a disciple of Tianji Micheng, and secondly the deputy commander of our Jinyiwei. So Zhou Chu, you should also keep a close eye on the people from Tianji Micheng he recruited. If there is anything wrong, ask the two old men of Shashan and Shashui to kill them."

Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing. He laughed in a low voice: "Master is indeed cautious. This is where the disciples need to study hard."
