Chapter 235 Stay Away from Them

"Young Master, the Empress has cleared your name and returned you to the Li family mansion. She also posthumously conferred a title on you. Even the King of Qin came to visit the family."

Liu Chengwu has a relatively cold personality and rarely loses his composure or experiences drastic mood swings.

Therefore, he calmed down quickly and reported to Li Changsheng the major events in Yan State in recent times, as well as the good things that were beneficial to his family.

"This is not a bad thing. I really need a chance to hide behind the scenes. As for the King of Qin, what is he doing here at the Li family?"

Liu Chengwu frowned and was about to express his guess when he suddenly noticed someone entering the courtyard.

He immediately retracted the sound transmission Gu into his empty cavity, turned around abruptly, pushed open the door, and looked into the courtyard.

The King of Qin and a woman were seen coming to the other end of the courtyard, looking at the flying eaves and brackets leisurely, as if appreciating the charm of the aristocratic architecture of the previous dynasty.

Liu Chengwu's heart moved, and he immediately realized that the King of Qin was suspicious of him, so he retracted his head and closed the door heavily.

It's not that he didn't want to be perfunctory or cover up, but for a person like the King of Qin whose depth could not be judged from the outside, the more contact he had, the easier it would be to be exposed.

At the moment, he still doesn't understand Li Changsheng's next strategy. He doesn't know where his upper and lower limits are when facing King Qin, so avoiding and escaping is the best solution.

"King Qin, there is something wrong with this person."

Song Chunxiao raised his slender eyebrows, murderous intent rose in his almond-shaped eyes, and he wanted to rush forward to find out what was going on.

"Don't move. I have just detected the fluctuation of mental power, which proves that this person is communicating with a powerful person. If you force him into a corner and destroy the Gu worm that transmits the message, we will still not be able to get the truth."

The King of Qin was very calm, and the reason was very simple. The Li family was already on the decline. Whether Liu Chengwu was a traitor or a loyal and courageous follower, he would not pose a threat to him and what he wanted to do.

In addition, things like the sound transmission Gu consume a huge amount of mental energy. Generally speaking, it is used to send out short distress signals or communicate commands.

Very few Gu Masters can use the Voice Transmission Gu as a chat tool.

Therefore, he could infer from the fluctuations of mental power that the person communicating with Liu Chengwu was most likely not far away, or even a fifth-level strong man.

So no matter how they guessed, they couldn't get in touch with Li Changsheng. Naturally, he didn't feel threatened, nor did he want to expose Liu Chengwu's little problems urgently.

"Then we have no choice but to leave. Someone has noticed our movements."

As soon as Song Chunxiao finished speaking, a burst of laughter was heard.

"If Your Highness Prince Qin is interested in the backyard where my grandson Li Changsheng lives, you can just ask to take a look. Why do you have to avoid me and set foot on this cold land in person?" The old man of the Li family came in a hurry.

Although there was still a smile on his face, it was obvious that layers of vigilance were emerging from his slightly cloudy eyes.

A strong and majestic aura of a veteran on the battlefield also emanated from his thin and skinny body.

"I was inconsiderate enough." The King of Qin bowed slightly and turned his head to look at Liu Chengwu's closed door.

Afterwards, he smiled and walked out hand in hand with the old man of the Li family. However, Song Chunxiao looked back frequently, and his curiosity about the secrets was not concealed at all, which was very different from the magnanimity and easy-going nature of the King of Qin.

Liu Chengwu continued to contact Li Changsheng and explained some recent major events in Yan State.

For example, Liu Niang from Tai'an City became very famous and gained the support of some civilian Gu Masters of poor backgrounds in the wilderness near the northern border.

For example, the northern Great Wall front was showing signs of decline, grain prices soared in various parts of Yan State, Jinyuan Pavilion's business scope shrank southward, and various places relaxed the recruitment of poison masters and the consolidation of city defenses.

Li Changsheng was shocked after hearing this.

It was felt that the trend of Yan State's division was becoming more and more obvious, and the Wu family's goal had been achieved.

Even judging from the current situation, it is much more serious than what he originally read in the book.

It seems that after Ye Tianyu was imprisoned and controlled, the speed of the fall of the Great Yan Kingdom increased, which was unexpected.

"Master, what's the situation on the grassland? We have prepared all kinds of goods, all kinds of poisonous insects and picture albums. Can we propose a business agreement to go to the grassland and bring you back?"

Due to lack of information, Liu Chengwu did not know that the grassland was much safer than the border of Dayan State.

In his opinion, Li Changsheng was probably living a hard life, lacking food and clothing, and had no supply of Yuanshi, and was in urgent need of supplies.

"Don't worry, it's not as tragic as you think. On the contrary, a king is being nurtured on the grassland. I'm about to have my first fight with him. In addition, the poisonous insects here are extremely scarce, but there are many high-quality Yuanshi veins. If you want to come and make a deal, you'd better let the empress know."

Li Changsheng was planning to use the power of the empress to develop the Yuanshi mines near Yushan Mountain, and to cover him in subduing the descendants of the seventh-level dragon blood insect.

"King of the grassland?" Liu Chengwu was shocked.

This word has not appeared since the previous dynasty. If a king emerges on the grassland now, the Great Yan Kingdom will probably face the threat of fighting on two or even three fronts.

"Don't reveal my true situation, and find a way to get the news to the palace. If I'm right, the empress will definitely be attracted by the Yuanshi mine. Then you can go with the army. The safety factor will be higher, and you can carry more goods."

Li Changsheng is still relatively cautious, and no matter what, he cannot escape his dependence on Yuanshi.

As the situation changes in the future, the price of Yuanshi will surely increase sharply. Perhaps the era when only a small amount of Yuanshi can be exchanged for a large tract of Yan State land is not far away.

"Then I know what to do. Young Master asked me before why the King of Qin came. I dare to conclude that he wants to take over the mission given by the late emperor from the old man. He is ambitious and needs a reason to achieve the effect of directly or indirectly controlling the empress."

Liu Chengwu's inference was not much different from the facts, and the King of Qin was indeed a gentleman. He was willing to give up the face of the royal family and recognize Mr. Li as his teacher in exchange for the opportunity to attend court that he had lost.

After obtaining the reason for undertaking the mission, he could naturally impose sanctions on the empress.

Even if the effect is not good at that time, it will create a situation of separation from the royal family, and then the personal reputation of the King of Qin will be separated from the royal family, forming a peaceful separation and countering the situation of the empress.

It can be said that this method is impossible to guard against and is an open conspiracy, unless the empress kills the King of Qin in anger, or deposes all the old ministers of the previous dynasty and abandons them.

Otherwise, the King of Qin would have been almost 90% sure that he could return to the court with the help of the old ministers' power and mission.

"He has more than one trick up his sleeve. You should keep Grandpa and him away. Also keep Ye Tianyu away from them. If they don't stop until they achieve their goal, you should retreat to the countryside. It's safer than the Imperial City anyway!"

After hearing this, Liu Chengwu was speechless and confused.

Is there any place in the world safer than under the feet of the emperor?

How many Gu Masters want to gain a foothold in Kyoto amidst the chaos, and many are willing to lose everything they have to do so!

How come in Li Changsheng's mouth, the imperial capital seems to be the source of disaster and is about to fall earlier than other places?

"I understand. I'll find a way to pass on the message." Even though Liu Chengwu didn't understand, he didn't want to refute it.

After all, with the young master, he has a direction, and Mr. Li’s safety is naturally more important than anything else. Retreating to a remote place is a good choice to protect himself.

After hanging up the voice transmission Gu, Liu Chengwu dressed up a little, put on the Gu bag, carried a few bottles of fourth-level queen bee Gu honey, and came to the deserted Wanbao Pavilion.
