"Military advisor, what do you think about Brother Chong being beaten?"
Sure enough, I won. Patience was better. Li Moyun silently added a point to himself: "Master, don't panic."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath: "Why don't you panic? Today Baiqisi lost a lot of people openly, and even more secretly."
Li Moyun's expression was ╮(╯_╰)╭: "Master, do you believe me when I say that Lord Changsun's matter has nothing to do with me?"
Li Chengqian didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was obvious. "Are you kidding me?"
Li Moyun sighed: "Originally, I was very curious after hearing those rumors, so I asked you to take me to have a look, but as you know, I was shut out and never left here."
Li Chengqian caught on to the conversation: "Military advisor, how did you arrange it?"
Li Moyun: "Actually, hasn't the academy recruited a lot of craftsmen? There are arrangers among these people. Although they can't bring anything out, they have other necessary information."
"Everyone knows that Mr. Changsun is one of ours. No matter how stupid I am, I will never be stupid enough to arrange it like this."
After listening to Li Moyun's explanation, Li Chengqian thought about it and it was right. It was completely unnecessary: "Speaking of those tools, how good can they be?"
Li Moyun: "It's not just one level better than the bronze or iron tools on the market now, but it's much worse than the Tiance Armor you received."
"Mo Yun thinks that most of the time it's just some scrap iron ingots or other waste that has been reused."
Li Chengqian was speechless and looked up at the sky: "But now many people think that I instigated Brother Chong to do it. This is because the mud in his crotch is either feces or feces. I can't explain clearly."
Li Moyun: "Actually, there are benefits to doing this."
Li Chengqian: "What are the benefits?"
Li Moyun: "At least let your supporters know that you are working hard."
Li Chengqian asked Li Moyun: "No more!?"
Li Moyun spread his hands and replied helplessly: "No more."
Is there anything left to do? What Li Chengqian is most worried about now is Lao Li's trust issue.
After Li Moyun forcefully explained, they looked at each other with sadness and helplessness on Li Chengqian's face.
well
It's just to comfort myself in my heart.
If there were cigarettes now, the two of them would definitely light one to relieve their worries.
The situation reached a deadlock again
For a long time, Li Moyun couldn't help but remind Li Chengqian: "My lord, you have to go see Lord Changsun tomorrow."
Li Chengqian: "Can you not go?"
Li Moyun: "Master Changsun is your main supporter. You have to go, and you can't find someone to replace you. You have to go in an open and honest manner. Only in this way can you show your care for your supporters, and you can also make His Majesty a little bit more concerned about you." You can feel more at ease and reduce unnecessary suspicions."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back later and ask the butler to prepare a gift."
Li Moyun continued: "I will go with you when the time comes, and ask the question clearly. What does Lord Changsun want to do? Is it to help you obtain new information or for the forging workshop of the Changsun family?"
Li Chengqian also knew how much impact Li Mingda's new technology had on Changsun Chong's family's forging industry. In the past, almost all Tang Dynasty ordnance was produced by Changsun Chong's family, but now there are only a small number of marginal orders.
Most of Changsun Wuji's family's income comes from this, and it is also the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the court.
Now that Li Mingda has almost destroyed it, it is normal for him to want to revive it.
Li Chengqian made an appointment with Li Moyun, and then sent someone to inform Changsun's house.
The next day, Li Chengqian brought his guard of honor to Changsun Mansion to visit Changsun Chong with great fanfare. When they saw Changsun Chong, they were both stunned.
good guy
The whole person is wrapped like a maggot
There was a mouth, eyes and nose left empty, and one leg was hanging up from the body. The miserable look was indescribable.
The words of complaint that Li Chengqian had prepared at the beginning disappeared instantly and turned into sympathy: "Brother Chong, what are you..."
a few seconds passed
Changsun Chong said slowly: "Oh, it seems that he was beaten by Jinyang."
Li Chengqian: "?"
Li Moyun: "Master Changsun, don't you remember?"
Another few seconds of waiting
Changsun Chong spoke again: "I seem to remember something."
Li Chengqian: "Why did I hit you so hard? It was worse than Chai Lingwu last time."
Or a few seconds later
Changsun Chong said slowly: "Jinyang said I stole something."
When the critical moment came, Li Moyun hurriedly asked Changsun Chong: "Master Changsun, have you taken it or not?"
Continue waiting for a few seconds
Changsun Chong said dryly: "I think I took it, I can't remember clearly."
Li Chengqian and Li Moyun looked at each other. This result seemed to be different from what they expected. Changsun Chong had become like this. It seemed that he had to ask Chai Lingwu.
After comforting Changsun Chong for a while, Li Chengqian and Li Moyun went out.
On the carriage, Li Moyun asked the team to go towards Chai Lingwu's residence of Duke Qiao. After thinking about it, he said to Li Chengqian: "My lord, I think there is something fishy about this matter."
Li Chengqian nodded: "Yes, although the imperial sister has beaten Chai Lingwu and his third brother, she has never beaten her like this. She really stole something from Brother Chong."
After hearing Li Chengqian's answer, Li Moyun corrected him: "That's not what Lord Moyun said. I meant that there might be something fishy about Mr. Changsun's stealing."
Li Chengqian scratched his head: "It turns out that what the military advisor said was not about the emperor's sister beating someone up. I misunderstood."
Li Moyun: "Of course it's not for this. I think it's obviously wrong to beat a third-rank official, the son of a prince, for a tool of poor quality. Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang must have lost something more important."
Li Chengqian shook his head: "I haven't heard of anything else of value being lost. Xiao Sizi just went back yesterday to cry and complain that it was lost..."
Li Chengqian suddenly slapped his head: "Maybe it's true. Xiao Sizi just said that he lost his tools, but he shouldn't beat Brother Chong like this just for a piece of iron. There is probably something behind it."
Li Moyun: "Yes, you and I think so too."
The two began to brainstorm in the carriage what had happened. They speculated on the hidden story and felt that they were too smart. Changsun Chong was still useless, so the key clue must be Chai Lingwu.
The two came to Chai Lingwu's house, and Chai Lingwu's head was also wrapped up. Li Chengqian and Li Moyun saw Chai Lingwu's appearance.
Much better than Changsun Chong
Chai Lingwu now regrets taking over Li Mingda's job. Li Chengqian and Li Moyun both came to look for him. Do you want to play another role? But the smelly iron piece is gone.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time. Anyway, I told a lie more than once, not many like Li Chengqian.
Chai Lingwu made up his mind to deceive this matter to the end, otherwise it would be revealed that he was not only lying, but also guilty of deceiving the emperor. Li Mingda was his daughter and his life would not be in danger, but it would be difficult for him, Chai Lingwu.
Chai Lingwu: "I don't know why His Highness the Prince came to see me."
