"That's good. Remember, if something happens to Yibo Tower, go to Yuntianzhuang as soon as possible!"
Xue Song warned again, turned around and jumped on the carriage.
Now that he has left, there is only one Mengshan native among the seventh-grade and above warriors in the entire Eastern Capital.
Facts have proved that the current Yibo Building is still short of people, especially the backbone between the seventh and eighth grades.
After returning from Chang'an, be sure to select a group of capable and qualified ones and send them to the inner courtyard of Yuntian Village to be trained by the top masters.
"Yes, Langjun!"
...
After two sticks of incense, Xue Song's carriage slowly left the city gate and embarked on the official road to Xijing.
As everyone knows,
At this time, in the west of the city, Xuanhe Village,
Li Juan looked at Li Chen with a puzzled look on his face, his brows filled with dissatisfaction.
"What did you say? You didn't make an appointment again?"
Speaking of last time, the relationship between Li Juan and Li Chen has improved a lot since Li Chen said that he hired the king of Guangping County from Guangping County as an intermediary.
But at this moment, Li Juan became more and more suspicious of Li Chen.
Many days have passed and he still has not been able to see Xue Song.
"Third brother, there is really nothing we can do this time. His Majesty suddenly issued an order to summon the master of Xue Song. He is probably on his way to Chang'an."
Li Chen smiled bitterly.
Who would have thought things would be like this.
Originally, Cheng Ruobing had already agreed, but something like this suddenly happened, and it would take at least half a month to go back and forth.
"Your Majesty summoned Xue Song? Why? Isn't this a bad thing?"
Li Juan frowned.
Since Yibolou unilaterally announced that it would transfer its copy business to Ruyang, their collection of white linen paper has not stopped, and they have now accumulated a large inventory.
The bet is that there is no paper at Yibo Building, and they will eventually have to come to Xuanyang Paper Factory.
However, the more he hoarded, the more Li Juan couldn't help but start to panic.
There was no movement at all at Yibo Building, it was so calm that it was scary.
That's why I thought of meeting Xue Song first through the relationship I had established with Li Chen to get a feel for him, but...
"Third brother, I heard that Zhou Yuan, the Minister of Rites, was all to blame. If he hadn't been involved in the book, this wouldn't have happened. This person said that the former governor of the Eastern Capital colluded with Jiang Yi Bolou..."
Li Chen sighed again.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of his third son again.
If he had not been expelled from the house, perhaps there would not have been so many things. If he had gone directly to Ruyang to find him, everything could have been solved.
Unfortunately, it is useless to regret now.
His son has completely stood on the opposite side of the Li family.
"Participating in Shen Jin and Yi Bo Lou? Zhou Yuan really doesn't know how high the sky is and how high he is this time."
Li Juan touched his beard.
After a long silence, he said, "Okay, I understand, you can go down first."
"Yes, third brother!"
...
Just as Li Chen left, Li Juan's counselor walked out of the back hall.
"Your Majesty, this Li Chen doesn't feel very reliable. Should we think of other ways? Just now news came that the money sent by the prince has been used up. We have no money to buy more white linen.
Paper."
Frowning, the counselor bowed.
"I know that Li Chen is unreliable, but what else can I do now?"
Sitting on the main seat, Li Juan looked gloomy.
The five kings of the Li family are almost tied together, and they all prosper and suffer. If the white linen paper business goes to waste, the consequences will be disastrous.
"How about... I will send someone to Ruyang secretly to see what is going on there?"
At this time, the counselor no longer had the calmness he had when he made the plan.
Logically speaking, Yi Bo Lou's business moved to the east, and so many merchants wanted to do copy business and merchants followed them, so there should be some movement in Yi Bo Lou.
Otherwise, how can I explain to those merchants?
But unfortunately, the other party didn't even send a servant, let alone a supply of white linen paper.
"Going to Ruyang?"
Li Juan's expression changed.
"Your Majesty, although it is very likely that Li Mo caused trouble in this matter, could it be that Yi Bo Lou is so calm because he has obtained the source of the paper?"
The counselor couldn't help but whisper again.
This is the last thing they want to see, but the current situation cannot help but think in this direction.
"Did Yi Bo Lou obtain the source of paper? Impossible! We have captured all the white linen paper in the entire Eastern Capital, Western Capital, and even within a few hundred miles of Chi Nei. How could Yi Bo Lou buy paper?"
Upon hearing this, Li Juan shook his head firmly and refused to comment.
"Then...will Yibolou make its own white linen paper?"
"Make paper by yourself? It's even more impossible! Papermaking is a secret skill and is mostly passed down to ancient families in southern cities. Yi Bo Lou is just a gangster force and is not that powerful."
Li Juan stood up and glanced at the counselor with some dissatisfaction,
The look in his eyes seemed to say that the most important thing is not to think about these impossible things, but to think about how to build a relationship with Yibo Lou.
"That...."
"Now that the matter is over, let's wait a few days and see if the merchants who went to Ruyang can buy the manuscript. If they can't buy the manuscript... Yibo Tower will still have to find us."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
........
Yibo Building is no longer the same as before, especially after the battle with the Tianyin Sect, every move of Yibo Building will receive great attention.
Fanyang County, Jiedushi Mansion,
Jiedushi An Lushan sat on the main seat with his brows furrowed.
Several counselors and generals stood sideways, and the formation was like a miniature version of the Golden Palace.
"My lord, Xue Song from Yibo Tower came to Beijing alone on orders, and there are no masters around him. Otherwise, we..."
After a pause, a counselor came out sideways, bowed, and at the same time made a gesture of wiping his neck,
"This Xue Song has a high status in Yibo Building. He should be one of the core figures. As long as we capture him, we might be able to find out the real mastermind behind Yibo Building!"
"Take down Xue Song?"
Frowning, An Lushan shook his head slightly,
"First of all, this Xue Song was personally appointed by the emperor. It would definitely be a bad idea to intercept and kill him midway. Now is not the time to fall out with the emperor. Secondly, this Xue Song is also an eighth-level warrior. He will definitely be angry when he comes to the capital this time.
Be careful, our people may not be able to succeed.
Of course, we have more important things to do than digging out the mastermind behind Yibo Tower."
"Is there anything more important?"
The counselor was stunned.
It is said that the only threats to them in the court are the left prime minister Yang Guozhong and the armies under the emperor's command, while in the rivers and lakes there are bad people and righteous men.
Especially Yibo Tower, it is no exaggeration to call it the number one force in the world now.
"Last night the Blue Dragon King sent back news that the Tubo Kingdom has been making moves in recent times and plans to transport a batch of high-quality military equipment to the Tang Dynasty."
An Lushan's eyes flashed,
"Tibet secretly transports arms?"
In the lobby, many counselors and generals were startled.
The Tubo Kingdom has always acted in a low-key manner and paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty on time every year. Now it seems that... the Tubo Kingdom has also changed its mind.
"It is said that the armaments transported by Tibet this time are 10,000 sets of armors and swords made of fine steel. This batch of armaments far exceeds the equipment of our elite battalion of the Heshuo Army."
