Chapter 447 Huahua Investment

Due to the massive northward advance of Geshu Han's army and Gao Xianzhi's army, it brought serious crisis to Chang'an. In order to resolve the crisis, Li Qing'an and Li Heng temporarily gave up their past grudges. Li Qing'an resigned as the right prime minister of the Central Secretariat and changed to the position of Grand Marshal of the World, and was fully responsible for the fight against the Northern Invaders.

He ordered the governor of Guanzhong Guo Ziyi to lead 50,000 troops to intercept Gao Xianzhi's army. In view of Guo Ziyi's relatively small force, he ordered the chief general of Guanzhong Army Wang Sili to lead 100,000 Guanzhong to cooperate with Guo Ziyi's battle.

He himself personally led 30,000 Anxi Army to Chencang County to fight against Geshuhan's army heading north.

In order to win this crucial war, the Zhengshitang also issued a recruitment order. In the Guanzhong area, 200,000 soldiers were recruited, and the money and food required for the guards were paid by the court.

In order to seize this opportunity to expand its strength, Li Qing'an's Anxi Longyou Army, Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Guannei Army and Wang Sili's Guanzhong Army set up their own recruitment sites to recruit young and strong soldiers.

Just two days passed, and the scouts of the Anxi Army found out that the road was blocked due to the landslide of Chencang Road, and the army departing from Hanzhong changed its marching route. Gao Xianzhi's army changed to Luogu Road to the north, while Geshuhan's army took Baogu Road to the north and turned to Xiagu Road to the north.

Although the other party changed the marching route, Li Qing'an's strategy did not change, and he was still allowed to deal with Geshuhan's army. As the senior management made a decision, the 30,000 Anxi army began to drive towards Mei County. At the same time, more than 20,000 Anxi troops withdrawn from Guannei Road also marched towards Mei County, and the war was about to break out.

The situation in Chang'an did not calm down because of the imminent outbreak of the war. On the contrary, the imminent war became a catalyst for chaos. The news that Li Longji led an army of 150,000 to the north made more powerful ministers rush to leave Chang'an first. They were not optimistic about the prospects of the court, and Chang'an City fell into a roughly crazy chaos.

In Xuanyangfang, in front of Yang Huahua's mansion, a carriage stopped. Two maids helped the worried Yang Yupei off the carriage. Yang Yupei was the original wife of South Korea. She was first deprived of the title of Mrs. National, and then Li Yu passed away. Her daughter Cui Ningbi became a widow at a young age and could not remarry. Yang Yupei was completely no longer as arrogant as Wu Yangshi. She was dressed in plain clothes and faced the sky, and was no different from ordinary civilian women.

Yang Yupei was in a state of confusion. Yang Guozhong's escape from the south made the Yang family lose their backbone. The Yang family's children ran away and ran away. Yang Yupei didn't know what to do. Today, under the urging of her husband, she had to come to discuss countermeasures with her sister Yang Huahua.

Yang Huahua's mansion was deserted and closed. The plaque of "Lady Guoguo Mansion" hanging high on the door had been taken off. The place where the plaque was hung was empty. Yang Yupei sighed, and the same was true for her mansion.

She went up and knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing the butler's old face. Seeing that it was Yang Yupei, the old butler smiled and said, "It's the second lady here, please come in!"

Yang Yupei walked into the door and asked, "Where is my third sister?"

"The third lady is feeding the fish by the pond! I'll call her."

"No, I'll go right."

Yang Yupei was familiar with the road. After passing through several corridors, he entered the inner house through a small door. The inner house was rich in trees, and various strange flowers and plants were blooming very lushly. He walked through a path covered with pebbles. In front of it was a lake with three acres of water. Green waves rippling and weeping willows swaying. On the edge of a small bridge, Yang Huahua sat on the stone strips, wearing a pink long skirt, with a smile on her face. She was holding a piece of cake in her hand, and was feeding dozens of big red carp under the bridge with full concentration.

Yang Yupei slowly walked behind her and said with some resentment: "Does the third sister still have the leisure and elegance to feed the fish here?"

Yang Huahua was startled. When she turned around, she saw that it was her second sister, and she smiled and said, "Why did the second sister sneak up? She scared me."

"My third sister was shocked! My house was packed with fine clothes and was about to leave Chang'an today. My third sister was still feeding fish. Don't you want to leave?"

"Let's go?" Yang Huahua smiled contemptuously, "Where is the second sister thinking?"

Yang Yupei sat down beside her, staring at the dozens of big red carp fighting for food in the water without any sense. She sighed and said, "Most of the Yang family have left, and I plan to follow the crowd and go to Chengdu first. At least our hometown is there, and I still have a house in Chengdu."

Yang Huahua sneered and said, "I see that your brains have become pigs. You are not alone in Chang'an. You are going to surrender to that immortal thing. What should you do if he dies? Can you still go back to Chang'an? You still have twenty acres of land in Guanzhong and a mansion worth millions of yuan. Do you want it?"

"If the situation improves, come back."

Yang Huahua's laughter was even louder, and the laughter was full of mockery, "You don't believe it, saying you are a pig brain, it's easy to go out of the city, but you have a hard time going out. Haven't you ever thought about why you can leave so easily? Just wait for you to leave, and then take your land, houses, and the situation will improve and come back. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

"But... But" Yang Yupei stuttered: "When the third brother is gone, we will have no background. I am afraid of being bullied by my enemies. When the Yang family was in a prosperous state, they offended many people."

Yang Huahua glanced at her and said lightly: "Who said our Yang family has no background? Our Yang family has the largest background. You haven't seen that Huaqing Palace has added military escorts."

Yang Yupei was stunned, "What the third sister means......"

"I don't mean anything, you want to go."

Yang Huahua threw the dough into the water, patted the cake dregs on her body, and then went to her bedroom, swaying her waist lightly, graceful.

Mei County is one of the Wang County in Guanzhong and the third largest city in Fengxiang Prefecture except Yong County and Guo County. It has a large population and prosperous trade. It is less than 30 miles from the north entrance of Xiegu Road, and it became the location of Li Qing'an's temporary marching yamen.

The arrival of the Anxi army made this place extremely lively. Various military supplies and resources transported from Chang'an continued to arrive in Mei County. The large-scale procurement of the army also made the merchants ecstatic. Under the stimulation of the war, the commerce of Mei County became somewhat abnormally prosperous.

As soon as Li Qing'an settled in Mei County, soldiers came to report, "An old friend is coming to visit!"

‘Old friend?’

Li Qingan was slightly stunned. Who could this be? He has no old friends in Ji County, and a war is approaching. Who would come to him at this time?

He quickly walked out of the military yamen and saw a carriage parked not far from the door. In front of the carriage was a young man in a green robe and a gauze hat. His skin was astonishingly white, with long eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and a slim figure. Li Qingan recognized it at a glance. He was not a man, but Yang Huahua, dressed as a man. What did she do here?

"General, you must be thinking, what is this woman doing here? Right!" Yang Huahua walked up with a smile.

Li Qingan smiled slightly, admitted her question, and said, "There is a war soon. It's not safe here, you shouldn't be here."

"It is precisely because I'm going to fight that I'm here to see you. I have something to do with you."

"Serious business? When will the third sister ask me for some serious business?"

Li Qingan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Please come into the yamen and talk."

He smiled at the uneasy guards around him and said, "Don't be so nervous, this is my old friend, I'm going to see me from Chang'an."

Li Qing'an took her into the military yamen, and while walking, he asked with a smile: "I heard that the Yang family has fled to Shuzhong, why don't you leave?"

"I am not as stupid as them. Everyone treats Li Longji as a life-saving god. In my opinion, he is just a temple god with gold powder. He pretends to be a god and smashes it. Isn't it just mud? Besides, if I leave, will my home and property be cheaper?"

Seeing that she was clear-headed and looked at the problem thoroughly, Li Qingan couldn't help but secretly admire her. Soon, he took her to her side room.

The side room was Li Qing'an's resting room, with all beds, tables and chairs. When Yang Huahua saw that Li Qing'an actually brought her to the room with a bed, her eyebrows immediately became passionate, her eyes were hazy, and her eyebrows were full of spring.

"Qilang, what do you mean?" Yang Huahua glanced at the bed with her charming eyes, and said with a slight biting her lips.

Li Qingan opened the chair and asked her to sit down, and said lightly: "There is no other meaning. There are military aircraft maps in other rooms. If you are not convenient for you to be present, only this place is more suitable."

Seeing that Li Qingan was so confused, Yang Huahua felt even more annoyed, but she didn't dare to show her face, so she sat down with charm and raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, the old friend is here, don't even have a cup of tea?"

"Haha! That's right, I was not very comfortable with guests. Li Qing'an opened the door and told the personal soldiers outside the door: "Go and pour two cups of tea and use my best tea."

Taking advantage of the inactivity of Li Qing'an's order to pour tea, Yang Huahua quickly pulled her skirt down. She was confident and charming. Maybe Li Qing'an could really fall under her pomegranate skirt.

"Qiro, I still think it's more intimate to call you Qiro. Let me recall the past years, you won't be surprised!"

Li Qing'an sat down and smiled and said, "There are not many people who can call me Qilang. If the third sister just came to reminisce about the past with me, it would be okay to call me Qilang. If it was to discuss business affairs, I think it would be better to treat my husband."

Yang Huahua smiled so hard that the flowers were trembling, and said, "How could I have any business? Just a private woman, of course she came to talk about the past and talk about the fourth sister."

"Are you talking about the Imperial Concubine?" Li Qingan shook his head and said, "She is not a private matter, we won't talk about it."

"Fake serious!"

Yang Huahua cursed inwardly, and she smiled again and said, "If you don't talk about her, let's talk about business. You also know that I am actually a businesswoman. I came here today to discuss a business with you."

"I'm talking! My third sister has no interest in reminiscing about the past."

Li Qingan smiled funnyly and said, "This time it's the true nature of my third sister, so I'll go without any profit!"

"Who did you say that people are? Come and talk about the past and talk about business by the way?"

At this time, the personal soldiers came up with two cups of tea. Li Qing'an brought the tea to Yang Huahua and smiled and said, "What business do third sister want to do with me?"

Yang Huahua picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly: "That's right, there are still two million stones of grain stored in my manor. I want to give it to the Anxi army as military rations. In addition, I will give Anxi another 500,000 jin of money as military expenses."

For Li Qing'an, who is currently laying out, it can be said that carbon is given in the snow. Although he has silver dollars in Chang'an, he lacks enough food. He is worried about the issue of grain and grass supply from the Anxi army, so Yang Huahua sent a generous gift. How could Li Qing'an not?

But Yang Huahua's money and food are not that easy to get. This woman is not a good-for-nothing lamp, and she must have other intentions.

Li Qing'an thought about it and suddenly understood something. He didn't even point out the flowers and said with a smile: "Isn't the third sister's manor being banned? Why do you still have money and food?"

"I think your brain is a little unfathomable."

Yang Huahua looked disdainfully and said, "Will I, Yang Huahua, put my money and grain in one place? The cunning rabbit has three caves! To be honest, I have more than three caves."

"I mean my third sister's farm has been copied, and she is still so calm. It turns out that she has just pulled a few hairs. I wonder what business my third sister wants to do with me?"

Li Qing'an's smile gradually faded. He knew Yang Huahua very deeply. With Yang Huahua's stinginess, she took out two million stones of grain and one million guan of money to do military expenses for herself. The conditions she proposed would definitely not be simple.

The hypocritical smile on Yang Huahua's face also disappeared. She stretched out a finger and said, "I actually only have one condition. I want you to be the backer of our Yang family."

Li Qingan walked a few steps behind his back, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

Li Qing'an's statement was as expected by Yang Huahua. She actually didn't expect Li Qing'an to protect the entire Yang family. This was just her luxury. She sighed secretly and had to settle for the second best and whispered: "Qilang, it's actually me that I want to ask for help. I have started a big business. More than 20 cabinet shops in Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan and Yangzhou, called Huaji Cabin shop, and are preparing to compete with Wang Baoji, but I am afraid of being framed. In the past, the Yang family was too arrogant and offended many people. I know that there are no one who is willing to help me now. If someone knows that the owner of the cabinet shop is me, someone will definitely attack me. I hope you can help me at the critical moment."

Seeing that she looked gloomy and full of frustration, Li Qingan nodded and smiled, "If I were to serve as a backstage for my third sister, I could do it hard."

Yang Huahua was overjoyed. She was about to get up to thank her, but Li Qingan stopped her and continued, "But I said ugly things ahead, I will not just protect you. I can help you, and I can't help you. I think you should be very clear."

Yang Huahua chuckled and said, "I know! General Li is a person who cares about feathers, so he will not do anything to damage his reputation. As long as you can keep my mother and son safe, that's enough."

Seeing that the time to recruit soldiers was already coming, Li Qing'an stood up and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, because my third sister supports my Anxi Army! I naturally know it."
