Chapter 176 Gift Giving and Fishing
(ninth update)
Xia Qingqing went in alone, Li Xian and the female guard stared wide-eyed. After waiting for about half an hour, Xia Qingqing walked out with red eyes.
After seeing Li Xian, he pulled Li Xian's sleeve and walked out without saying a word.
Li Xian felt a little weird, it was obviously not Xia Qingqing's character; after leaving the palace all the way, Xia Qingqing spit out a fact that shocked Li Xian - the person who poisoned was someone in the palace, either the eldest prince or the second prince, Even the third prince. The third prince is young, but he may be someone close to the third prince, such as - Concubine Hua!
The emperor knew about this matter, so did the empress, and so did Li Yulong and others. Faced with such a situation, the best way is - don't check!
Seeing that the emperor was dying, so was the Great Xia Kingdom. Before his death, the emperor finally chose to give up his status as emperor and be a tolerant father.
So, things were covered like this.
On the carriage, Xia Qingqing lay in Li Xian's arms and twitched, crying silently. This is the tragedy of being a royal family, and almost every royal family cannot escape this fate. Power, greed, and desire make people's hearts corrupt.
After returning home, Li Xian didn't see Yang Zhong, but he didn't care much, thinking that Yang Zhong should go to retreat or practice magic weapon.
Before Li Xian could catch his breath, someone delivered a letter, and on the envelope it was written: Dear Brother, Shangguan Yong.
"What the hell, the word 'Xiandi' is almost becoming an exclusive title!" Li Xian smiled helplessly, opened it and saw that the letter was very simple, it was probably a long time no see, a little miss, a little nostalgic for the past, and heard that Xiandi was here , The brothers specially prepared a banquet in "Between the Clouds", let's meet tomorrow night.
"Brothers? Miss the past? I don't miss it at all!" Li Xian chuckled, "Okay, I'll go and see tomorrow night to see what you guys are up to."
After a peaceful night, after breakfast the next day, Li Yulong gave Li Xian a mission to visit the current Prime Minister Kong Xiang and the current Taiwei Fu Minghui; in addition, he "dropped in" to visit the Wang family. Finally, don't forget Li Xian's two "good brothers" Zhang Quanjia, Hubu Shangshu Zhang Yuan, Shangguan Yong's family, and General Shangguan Guang.
"Father, the Wang family is still going? Is this a mistake?"
"If you are told to go, you can go. There is so much nonsense. Pay attention, bring a gift, just one spirit stone for each family."
"What? Lingshi? Do you want to give these people the spirit stone? No way!" Other things are easy to say, but the spirit stone cannot be given.
What is Lingshi? That is the key energy for cultivating immortals. Now many people have reached a critical point in their cultivation. They either rely on their own practice to break through the bottleneck little by little, or rely on elixir. . And the best way is to get a quick spirit stone and use the pure heaven and earth spirit energy to break through.
Therefore, the price of Lingshi is about - 500,000 taels of gold! This price was completely speculated by the masters of the Jindan stage and even the Nascent Soul stage. There is no way, gold can only be buried with you, but everyone needs spirit stones; gold can be used repeatedly, but spirit stones can only be used once.
In fact, even if it is five hundred thousand taels of gold, Lingshi is still priceless.
Li Yulong nodded Li Xian's head resentfully, "What's in your head, it's just a piece of spirit stone. You have a stable source, so you need to maximize the effect of the spirit stone.
Now that the Great Xia Kingdom is about to collapse, a single spirit stone can bring you countless benefits.
Don't you want to build a business empire? You have to do business! How to do business in a chaotic Great Xia country?
I know that you have lofty goals, and you have already expanded your business to neighboring countries; but the Great Xia Kingdom is your foundation. If you go by sea, it will be the base of the Sea Clan after all. What if the Sea Clan turns their backs? Your cannonball can still hit the bottom of the sea! Instead, it's your big ship, fragile like a wooden box at sea!
Also, compared to foreign countries and the Sea Clan, the people in Daxia are always kind; at least everyone is in the same boat. If you want to fight against foreign enemies in the future, will you fight alone, or will you join forces with everyone?
Harmony makes money, my child; don't look at the various conflicts and even hatred between us, but we are always in the same boat and have the same pursuit of interests, which cannot be changed.
Go ahead, don't be so sullen, even if it's fake, smile for me. "
Li Xian immediately "opened up", "I see, then each family will send two spirit stones."
Li Yulong nodded Li Xian's head again, "Can you fish?"
"What does this have to do with fishing?"
"One spirit stone is enough. This is the bait. You can't feed the fish too much, otherwise you won't get the bait. A spirit stone has its meaning. First, it means that we have a spirit stone in our hands. Second, it means that we are willing to communicate. Three means strength. If you want Lingshi, you must cooperate with us.
And the two spirit stones are more like an apology.
This gift must be budgeted carefully, as long as it is appropriate; if you give too much, it will be a bad thing. "
Li Xian was dumbfounded, "Giving gifts is still so troublesome? No, this is not called giving gifts, this is called fishing."
"Get lost now, the order cannot be changed. It must be Kong Xiang, Fu Minghui, Wang Chuan, Zhang Yuan, and Shangguan Guang."
After being scolded, Li Xian hurriedly brought along Song Xing and several guards, and started running around. First, at Kong Xiang's house, Li Xian met Kong Yingzhi, and then the two of them had false smiles, and you and I said words that were not right. Finally, after seeing the gift, Kong Xiang smiled and took Li Xian Xian sent away.
Then Li Xian came to Fu Minghui's place; now Fu Minghui is no longer the head of the bodyguard and Lang Zhongling next to the emperor, but a first-rank official Taiwei. Although the Taiwei's words don't work, but the status is here after all.
After meeting Li Xian, Fu Minghui's first words were: "Li Xian, I heard that you have redeemed all the captives from Cai Guo. I don't know when you will release them back?"
Li Xian sighed, "My lord, Zhongshan County rebelled a month ago. These good men rushed to the forefront and died in battle. They are really too brave."
Fu Minghui didn't come up in one breath, and pointed at Li Xian, unable to utter a word. Finally, he greeted the guards around him bitterly to see off the guests. However, when leaving the gate, several guards expressed their gratitude to Li Xian.
Then Li Xian "dropped in" to Wang's house. From Fu Minghui's place to Wang's house, there were two miles of road, with seven detours and eight turns. It was a good "drop in".
Wang Chuan, the Patriarch of the Wang Family, the father of Concubine Hua, and Minister of Rites, personally received Li Xian, and Wang Ping, Wang Chuan's son, also accompanied him.
Li Xian sent a gift: "Hello, Uncle Wang, I came here today to apologize for my recklessness in the past."
Wang Chuan hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Ping glared at him: "Were you really reckless back then?!"
