"I want to meet with your president."
Long Chen made a condition.
Hong Qi was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "I can't answer you about this!"
Ji Ba, the president of the Tianxia Association, is known as the Uncrowned King and can control the situation in the world, but there are many people who want to kill him.
Therefore, Ji Ba's whereabouts have always been very secretive. Except for a few posters, few people have seen him.
Long Chen asked to see Ji Ba, but Hong Qi instinctively refused.
He is just a landlord and cannot decide this matter.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will put my things here, and Master Hong can report it to the president."
"As long as the president is willing to see me, I will give the craftsmanship of this thing to Tianxia Hui as a meeting gift."
After saying that, without waiting for Hong Qi's reply, Long Chen simply left the Sifang Building and rode back to Qiuxing Hall.
Hong Qi walked to the door and watched Long Chen disappear on the street before turning back to the backyard.
He took out a large glass bead from his sleeve and looked into the sunset to reflect the bright light.
"Long Chengen, what a genius!"
Hong Qi clicked his tongue in admiration.
The black man came over, looked at the glass beads in surprise, and asked, "Is this from Long Chengen?"
Hong Qi asked: "How much will you bid for this crystal ball?"
The black man carefully estimated it and said, "One hundred taels of silver."
Hong Qi collected the glass beads, rubbed them carefully for a long time, and then returned to the room.
....
A carriage slowly drove out from the side door of Fengming Palace. Yingfeng was dressed in black clothes and holding a whip, acting as the driver.
The carriage walked through the streets at night and stopped in front of Gongsun Yun's mansion.
Yingfeng jumped off the carriage, walked to the door, grabbed the door knocker, and knocked hard.
After a while, the door opened a crack, and Zhao Heng stood inside and asked, "Who are you?"
Yingfeng whispered: "Your Majesty came to talk to Lao Zhuguo."
Zhao Heng recognized Yingfeng and immediately opened the gate. The carriage drove into the yard, and Sun Yun, the old master of Zhuguo, hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
The empress got down from the carriage, supported Gongsun Yun and said, "Old Zhuguo, you are welcome. I came to visit late at night and disturbed your rest."
Gongsun Yun bowed and said, "I don't dare. Please, Your Majesty!"
Gongsun Yun invited the empress into the study instead of the main hall.
Visiting late at night must be a confidential matter.
Zhao Heng and Yingfeng guarded the door together.
The empress and Gongsun Yun sat down separately. Gongsun Yun said, "Your Majesty came late at night. He must have something important to do."
The empress nodded slightly and said, "You know everything about the imperial court. I want to eradicate Jing Tianlie."
Old Zhuguo Gong Sun Yun remained silent.
"Does Lao Zhuguo think I did something wrong?"
When the empress saw that Gongsun Yun was silent, she thought he disagreed.
Gongsun Yun's voice was low, with a sense of regret in his tone, and he said: "The old minister once fought with his father on the battlefield, and we had a certain friendship."
"The Jing family is indeed arrogant and domineering, and has lost the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. In fact, everyone in the government and the public knows what the Holy One has done."
"It's just that the Holy One wants Long Cheng'en to replace Jing Tianlie. Can he withstand it?"
Gongsun Yun, as a respected and virtuous Lao Zhuguo, had a clear idea of what was going on in the court, and he knew clearly what the empress was planning.
Jing Tianlie did indeed go too far, and Gongsun Yun also felt that Jing Tianlie should be eradicated, but could Long Chen really replace the general?
The empress said: "Because of the situation, Jing Tianlie met with Li Yuanying, the third prince of Nanliang, and sent a secret message to King Shi Le of Xixia. I had no choice but to do it."
Gongsun Yun's body shook, and a strong murderous aura emitted. He opened his eyes angrily and said: "Collude with foreign enemies? How unreasonable!"
The empress comforted him: "Lao Zhuguo, please calm down and don't hurt your body."
Gongsun Yun cursed: "Jing Polu gave birth to a good son!"
Jing Polu is Jing Tianlie's father, Gongsun Yun's former comrade-in-arms, and also his political enemy.
The empress said: "Nan Liang supports, Jing Tianlie's troops are still expanding, if I don't take action, I will only create trouble."
Gongsun Yun said worriedly: "I admit that Long Chengen is a genius, but he is a eunuch. The peak of the king is his limit, and it is impossible to go further."
To break through the Martial Emperor's realm, women need Yin water and men need Yang fire. Eunuchs cannot condense Yang fire and it is absolutely impossible to break through the Martial Emperor's realm.
The empress asked back: "Does Lao Zhuguo really think it's impossible?"
Gongsun Yun was silent.
The empress did not rush him, but picked up the teapot and poured Gongsun Yun a cup of tea.
"But Your Majesty, if you forcefully condense the Yang Fire, you will definitely live a short life or even die suddenly. I don't know if Long Chengen can survive it."
Gongsun Yun said slowly.
The empress said: "Back then, the chief eunuch Cheng Weizhi condensed the Yang Fire by taking Yang Jing Stone and successfully broke through to the realm of Emperor Wu. Only Lao Zhuguo knew how to make this Yang Jing Stone."
"I would like to ask Lao Zhuguo to refine Yang Jingshi for Long Chengen to help him break through to the realm of the Martial Emperor."
Yang Jing Shi is made from nine kinds of yang and strong stone medicines, which are refined using secret methods.
After taking it, it can condense the yang fire in the body in a short time.
But this process is very dangerous. If the body cannot bear it, it will die suddenly on the spot.
Even if you survive, your body will be damaged and your life will be short.
After the eunuch chief Cheng Weiqi broke through to the realm of Emperor Wu, he only lived for three years.
Gongsun Yun sighed: "Long Chengen is a resourceful person. Even if he only has the peak cultivation level of a king, he can still be used as a national teacher. It is a pity to forcefully break through to the realm of the Martial Emperor."
Gongsun Yun was actually very optimistic about Long Chen and especially admired his cunning and cunning. He couldn't bear to see Long Chen die early.
The empress sighed and said: "Everyone has his own destiny, maybe he is an exception."
Gongsun Yun was speechless and just sighed: "Where is Long Chengen himself? Does he agree?"
Taking Yang Jing Stone to break through is equivalent to committing suicide, and Long Chen must voluntarily do so.
The empress said: "I will tell him that Lao Zhuguo will first refine the Yang Jing Stone for me."
Gongsun Yun nodded and said regretfully: "Old minister, I obey the order."
The empress stood up and said: "Old Zhuguo, please rest early, I will go back first."
Gongsun Yun stood up to see the empress out.
After watching the carriage disappear into the night, Gongsun Yun closed the door and returned home.
"housekeeper!"
An old housekeeper in his 50s came over and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"
Gongsun Yun said: "Go and prepare the stone medicine. I want to refine the sun crystal stone."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "To whom?"
Gongsun Yun said coldly: "Stop asking, go get ready!"
The housekeeper turned around to prepare, walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "I'm so confused. The young master has written a letter saying that he will go home to visit the master tomorrow."
Gongsun Yun's cold expression turned warm, and he laughed and said, "This girl still knows how to go home and prepare what she likes to eat."
The housekeeper laughed and went to prepare together.
....
Qiuxing Hall.
Long Chen stretched himself out and woke up. Bai Tingting was lying on the kang with messy clothes. Long Chen turned over and put his legs on top, and stretched out his hands...
"What are you doing? It's dawn."
Bai Tingting covered herself, picked up her clothes and put them on.
Dong dong dong...
Xiang Ning knocked on the door and said, "Sir, Master Yingfeng is here."
Bai Tingting hurriedly arranged her hair and clothes, pretending that she was not sleeping with him last night, but guarding Long Chen as a bodyguard.
"What are you pretending to be? Everyone knows you slept with me."
Long Chen chuckled.
Bai Tingting said angrily: "You have to pretend when you have to."
