The person who came was an old man, tall and thin, with a stooped waist. He seemed to be the old man who burned memorials that Li Chongrun saw in the west city that day.
The token I received earlier was a piece of broken glass, not very transparent, and slightly green.
I used the pile of glazed beads made from the defective products of the previous landlord of the Five Kings Palace who failed to make alchemy. However, the Five Kings Palace has long been smashed into rubbish by meteors. Of course, the only ones who can still have these things are
The whereabouts of the second brother Li Shouli were unknown before.
"Second brother, why have you become like this?"
Li Chongrun saw through the identity of the person at a glance, but he really couldn't believe that his second brother Li Shouli, who was only a few years older than his eldest brother, turned out to be like this.

"With some tricks, it's not difficult to put on makeup to look good. But the medicine used to dye my hair is a bit overbearing. If I use it too much, my hair keeps falling out. I've become bald a lot recently."
The smile of the second brother Li Shouli still looked a bit as honest as before. When Li Chongrun looked at him, he worked hard to straighten his somewhat stooped back.
There was no one else in the secret room, only the two brothers, so Li Chongrun didn't have to worry so much: "I want to ask, second brother finally had a chance to escape, why did he run back to the west city again? That day
Were you on the ship to pick up the Japanese king’s daughter in Yangzhou?”
"Ah, that's me. When my third uncle goes out, there are always people around him to help take care of him, right?"
The second brother pursed his lips and opened his mouth to continue speaking, but he seemed to be thinking about something again and pondered for a moment before answering Li Chongrun's question.
"It's true that I escaped. It's just that I've been in the west city for a long time, and I'm not used to it. It happened that my third uncle had to go to the palace for work. Others were not familiar with the situation inside, so I went there."
After finally escaping from the prison, but still thinking about going back, this is a bit like Stockholm syndrome.
Li Chongrun sighed and said to himself that his second brother was a very good person, but he was a little too honest and honest. No wonder he was able to satisfy the appetite of his father who was also boring.
"Brother Run, you are fine."
After working up his courage for a long time, Li Shouli said this with emotion.

As he spoke, tears flashed faintly in the corners of the second brother's eyes, but they disappeared in the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes in an instant.
"It's nothing, it's just good luck."
Li Chongrun touched his nose and replied to him humbly.
After chatting for a few words, the two brothers fell into a strange and awkward situation.
A person has a lot to say but doesn’t know where to start.
A person has many thoughts, even if he can express them in thousands of words, he cannot express them clearly.
After a moment of silence, Li Chongrun finally broke the silence.
"Then why is the second brother here today?"
Li Shouli was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had a mission today. He quickly straightened his manner and conveyed a message to Li Chongrun word for word.
"I heard the news in the west city. It seems that Buddhism is planning to elect the fourth uncle as the Holy Son. Er Zhang already knows the news and is planning to promote this matter recently."

Li Chongrun felt that there was no use in asking spies lurking in the palace to pass on information to him for such things?
unless……
Unless the father already knew that he had discovered that the second brother was hiding in the palace, so he simply gave up on this line and directly gave up his thoughts.
It's just that it seems that only the palace people around His Majesty know that I met my second brother in the first place.
So, your Majesty has been surrounded by your father's people? But when did your father establish such a secret intelligence organization that even the biggest intelligence leader in this dynasty, Her Royal Highness, doesn't know about it?
Or is it that Her Royal Highness the Princess has always known that her father has such an intelligence organization, but she has never told herself?
What is the purpose of my father in establishing such an intelligence organization? With His Majesty's madness when he first ascended the throne, if the Emperor knew about this matter, I am afraid that my father would not be as relaxed as enjoying the treatment of exile.
Li Chongrun thought about the figure who was obsessed with fishing by the Luoshui River all day long, and said to himself that it seemed that his father's energy was much deeper than what he had guessed.
Li Chongrun pondered for a long time, which made Li Shouli feel a little at a loss. After worrying for a long time, he gathered enough energy to ask: "Brother Run, what are your plans?"
"What does father say about this matter?"

"Third uncle said, let me ask you."
Father clearly knew that he had guessed that he had discovered Li Shouli's identity, so the purpose of sending his second brother here was just to tell him that he had given up on this hidden danger.
"Let's not talk about these troublesome things for now. What arrangements does second brother have in the future? If there is no arrangement, there is a job that is in short supply for me. Second brother's simple and honest temperament is the most suitable."
Li Chongrun really wasn't lying about this. Wang Rong was about to return to Shendu from Yangzhou, and the business in Yangzhou happened to be short of a manager.
The system in Yangzhou has been established, and all that needs to be done is to run it stably. The second brother's honest temperament is suitable for him to be a workshop director in Yangzhou.
"Third uncle said that there are some situations in Yunzhou that I need to help keep an eye on. He said it is related to the Turks, but the specific matters have not been arranged yet, and there will be no arrangements after that. If brother Run is short of people, brother Wei can come and help.
."
Li Shouli touched the back of his head honestly, grinned, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became even more wrinkled.
"Since father has arrangements, the second brother will go and wait until you are free to come back and make money with the younger brother."
Yunzhou is close to the Turks, and it is the most convenient and direct place for the Turks to enter the country. My father sent his second brother there probably to collect information from the Turks.
It is said that Li Laosi Li Longji is currently working as a prince-in-law in the Turks and has not come back yet, not even any news has been sent back.

However, since Li Laosi entered the Turks, the bad-tempered Khan of the Turks has not invaded the border for a long time. I heard that His Majesty even praised him at the court meeting a few days ago.
If his father is really such a thoughtful person, he probably asked his second brother to go to Yunzhong to collect some information about Li Laosi. After all, the fourth uncle's power is no longer what it used to be, and it is the junior Li Laosi who is most popular now.
Son.
Just like my father, who was used to keeping a low profile, he was most famous for being a free-spirited person.
However, most of the financial resources of the Li family in Longxi came from smuggling with the Turks, so it is possible that his father had the same idea as him and found an honest man to be his district manager.
After saying this, the second brother hurriedly said goodbye. Li Chongrun went out to see him off. He opened his mouth several times, but could not say anything to persuade him to stay.
"Brother, who is here?"
Li Chongrun watched Li Shouli disappear from the street corner at the door for a long time. He was still like a stone looking at his husband. Guo'er was a little curious, so he came over to ask.
"Oh, this is the second cousin, Li Shouli, the second son of the second uncle's family. If he comes to help us in the future, you can just call him second brother."
"Oh, so he is the second brother who always takes care of you?"
"Second brother is a poor man, and he is honest. Please take more care of him in the future."

Li Chongrun looked again at the direction where his second brother Li Shouli disappeared, then turned around and took Bao'er back to the study.
"You have the final say at home, and you take care of me as well. Don't always talk about yourself like an old man, okay?"
Although Bao'er felt that Li Chongrun's tone of entrusting someone to him was really a bit pretentious, but Brother A would only entrust his brother to him if he trusted him very much.
Guo'er, who had been praised by Li Chongrun inexplicably, was very happy and jumped up and down behind Li Chongrun: "So what is the second brother doing today?"
"If we talk about the original intention, it is that Er Zhang is going to use the tools and fame of Buddhism to push Uncle Fourth to that position."
"All the eunuchs in the palace were killed by the emperor. How did the second brother lurk in the palace?"
Bao'er had heard a lot of rumors about Shendu in the past few days, especially those involving Li Chongrun, so naturally he knew that after the assassination of Longmen, all the eunuchs in the palace, whether they were involved in the assassination or not, were all involved.
He was driven into Luoshui by Duke Dee with his black cavalry, so he was curious about what identity the second brother used to lurk into the palace.
"Why did this happen all at once?"
Li Chongrun did not answer Bao'er's words and opened the letter from Yingzhou in his hand.
The content of the letter was very short, and it just said one thing: The Turks recently sent many nobles to take charge of the border between the Turks and the imperial court. Chen Ziang was doing business with the Turks in Yingzhou, and he heard some news that he was from the Turks.
The Khan has recently heard advice from unknown sources, and in order to repay His Majesty's kindness in knowing him, he is willing to return Yongfeng and Guangzhou, which are within Turkic territory, to the imperial court.

Yongfeng and Guangzhou are located in the Hetao, which are important official areas and extremely fertile horse farms. The imperial court tried several times but failed to obtain them. Unexpectedly, they got them back without any effort.
"Have the Turks learned my method? Are you planning to bribe the emperor?" Li Chongrun asked, throwing Chen Ziang's letter to Bao'er who was standing aside, and called Sanlang Zhang to come over and deliver the message.
"There are several Turks practicing stalls at the gate of Nanshi today. Please send someone to check. What are those barbarians talking about?"
