In a remote courtyard, several middle-aged men gathered together. Their faces were solemn and their aura was formidable.
"Brother, this can't go on like this. There's no way our people can infiltrate in. That Zhao Yuanba's mansion is heavily defended, even tighter than the palace!"
"We have to find a way!"
Several middle-aged men said anxiously.
They are the top managers of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance and rarely leave the Merchant Alliance headquarters because they are professional businessmen and do not understand military and political matters.
"I have my own thoughts on this matter. You can just do business with peace of mind. Then leave Zhao Yuanba's family property to me."
The man sitting at the head said slowly.
"Brother..."
Several middle-aged men were stunned when they heard this, but after seeing the man's determined eyes, they could only sigh.
Although they felt sorry for the huge family fortune, it was their eldest brother's decision after all, and they could only abide by it.
"Brother, we will keep this matter a secret for you, and you must pay attention to your own safety!"
Several people raised their hands and said.
"I know."
The first man nodded and said, then waved.
…
As night gradually fell, Li Yang and Jie'er also returned to the palace.
Li Yang's face was glowing red, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack to his temples. He got quite a lot of money from this house raid.
Especially the recent batch of rare and rare treasures he has obtained will definitely make him a lot of money.
Li Yang was in a very happy and comfortable mood. He had been on tenterhooks ever since he traveled through time, and now it was finally time to enjoy the blessings.
Returning to his bedroom, Li Yang lay down on the Grand Master's chair, crossed his legs, took out the pipe he just bought, took a puff and then exhaled leisurely.
"It's really refreshing. This kind of life is called life."
Li Yang hummed a tune happily, looking like a winner in life.
"Squeak~"
At this moment, the door to the bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and Jie'er stepped in with a happy smile on her pretty face.
"Jie'er, are you okay?" Seeing Jie'er, a gentle look appeared on Li Yang's face and he asked softly.
"It's nothing. I just came back from His Majesty's side, and His Majesty asked you to come over when you are in Xushi."
Jie'er was no longer polite to Li Yang and lay down on the other chair next to him.
"Your Majesty, will you let me enter the palace again?"
Li Yang frowned, looking a little impatient.
"Yes, you have to do what His Majesty ordered even if you don't want to!" Jie'er curled her lips.
"I know, wait until I finish this stroke."
Li Yang waved his hand and continued to smoke, with a look of intoxication on his face.
"Hey, I've been thinking about taking one for a long time."
Li Yang squinted his eyes, twitching and praising him.
Jie'er rolled her eyes and stopped talking to Li Yang, focusing on admiring the scenery in the garden.
…
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.
The time of Xu has arrived.
A carriage drove slowly towards the palace.
Li Yang was sitting in the carriage. When there was no one around, he no longer pretended to be himself. He put away his slutty look and his eyes were full of thinking.
"There shouldn't be any missions tonight, right?"
Li Yang muttered, then shook his head to dispel the random thoughts in his mind.
Now he only needs to complete the task and get paid. He is too lazy to think about the rest. Anyway, he can be successful no matter what.
Soon, the carriage stopped.
"Dong~"
As the driver opened the curtain, Li Yang jumped out of the carriage and walked in.
"His Majesty."
Looking at Qin Yushuang who was sitting in front of the dragon case reviewing the memorial, Li Yang returned to his ungrateful smile and saluted.
Qin Yushuang glanced at him lightly and said, "I know you are in a good mood. You have made a lot of money today, right?"
"Haha, thanks to your majesty's great blessing, I have received two million taels of gold, which is enough for my expenses for a long time."
"Well, during this period, you have to worry about things in the court. I don't want you old foxes to cause trouble again!"
Qin Yushuang said calmly, but it made Li Yang feel that the emperor seemed to be preparing to cause trouble again.
Before, Zhao Yuanba was a time bomb that was holding him back, but now that Zhao Yuanba has been eliminated, she can do what she wants to do.
Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but swallowed, and there was a vague premonition in his heart.
"Yes! Your Majesty! I understand." Li Yang quickly returned to his serious state and replied respectfully.
…
When Li Yang returned home, he couldn't wait to open the box and check it out.
Two million taels of gold were piled up like a mountain, and all kinds of gold and silver treasures were dazzling. Li Yang's eyes lit up when he saw them.
Li Yang excitedly played with a gold coin. This gold coin was made of pure gold and was valuable.
"Hahaha, I, Li Yang, am rich, I am rich, hahaha!"
Li Yang was so happy that he couldn't help but sit down on the bed.
Just as he was immersed in a sweet dream, a faint fragrance hit his nostrils, shocking his spirit and causing ripples in his heart.
"who?"
Li Yang looked at the window warily.
By the window, Jie'er was half-leaning on the edge of the bed and looking at Li Yang, with a slight smile on her pretty face.
She was wearing a snow-white dress, with fluttering sleeves, revealing her bright wrists, and her whole person exuded an elegant temperament.
"What did Your Majesty say when he asked you to enter the palace?"
Jie'er pursed her lips lightly, with a hint of doubt on her cold face.
"It's nothing, His Majesty just asked me to see her."
Li Yang shook his head and didn't want to say more.
Jie'er looked at Li Yang and didn't pursue the matter further. She just said.
"I have informed His Majesty about our assassination at Zhao Yuanba's residence."
Hearing Jie'er's words, Li Yang raised his eyebrows.
"What did His Majesty say?"
"His Majesty only asked who is responsible for capturing the remaining fugitives, and did not ask any more specific questions."
Jie'er said lightly, with a wise light shining in her eyes.
Hearing Jie'er's words, Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Majesty had no intention of causing trouble to him yet.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to prevent others from discovering the secret between me and Your Majesty." Li Yang whispered.
He remembered his mission deeply and tried his best to avoid exposing his relationship with Qin Yushuang, without arousing suspicion from other forces, and more importantly, he must not expose his relationship with His Majesty.
"By the way, are you okay with the injuries you sustained this afternoon?"
Suddenly, Jie'er raised her head and asked.
Li Yang shook his head gently.
"The injury wasn't serious in the first place. I ran fast, so it didn't matter."
Jie'er looked at Li Yang but said nothing. She stood up, turned and left the room, leaving Li Yang alone in the room.
"call!"
After Jie'er left, Li Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, please don't mess around!"
he muttered.
