Chapter 409: The Gift to Calm Down Anger

After Liu Ji returned to the camp of the Polu Army outside the city, he asked someone to set up two new curtains next to his curtain, temporarily placing Gu Xiaowan, Dong Hongyu, Ma Shishi and Cheng Xiaoxiao in these two curtains.

Although these four women were given to Liu Ji by Dou Yan, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, the four women were from Jin after all. Unlike the women of the Holy Fire Sect, they were in a hostile relationship with Liu Ji when they fell into Liu Ji.

Liu Ji never ruthlessly treats his enemies, so he just goes straight to the point. However, the situation of Gu Xiaowan and the four girls is different. Liu Ji is not going to eat them immediately. Anyway, they are already meat in the bowl. It is better to wait until they know each other better so that the taste will be more delicious when they eat.

Then Liu Ji summoned Yang Zaixing, the commander of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Legion, Deng Yu, the commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion, Wu Anguo, the commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Local Legion, Fan Kuai, the commander of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Legion, and Dian Wei, the commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Guards Legion, to his own curtains and told him about the interception.

Fan Kuai, who was furious, immediately said furiously: "Please give orders to let our guards' 1st cavalry brigade enter Canglong City and kill the evil men who assassinated the lord!"

Yang Zaixing followed and said angrily: "Lord, our First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Legion is willing to go together!"

Liu Ji waved his hand and said, "The matter has not reached that point. Call you here, just let you know about this matter and strengthen the defense of our camp. It seems that there are quite a few people who don't like this general in the capital. As for Li Yifeng and the Wudang Mountain disciples he led, let's see what the court said first."

Fang Xuanling next to Liu Ji frowned and said, "Lord, since Li Yifeng is the youngest son of General Li Hong, and a personal disciple of Wudang Mountain, maybe the court may take a calm approach to dealing with this matter."

A cold light flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, "I want to settle things? It depends on whether this general is willing!"

Jia Xu said at this time: "Lord, from Dou Chong's attitude today, it can be seen that the news that the Empress Dowager wants to marry Princess Xiangcheng to the lord has not spread yet. When Li Yifeng can know this news, it is very likely that there is a conspiracy inside. Unfortunately, the power of Heishuitai in Canglong City is too weak, and we can not know much. However, if there is a conspiracy, in order to clear the relationship, the Thirteenth Family will definitely investigate the conspiracy and pass it on to the lord!"

Liu Ji nodded, thinking that what Jia Xu said was very reasonable. After all, Li Yifeng belonged to the thirteenth family. If there were other conspiracies in this matter, the thirteenth family would definitely investigate the conspiracy in this matter in order to give him an explanation and then tell him about it.

Then Liu Ji turned his head and said to Fan Kuai, Dian Wei, Yang Zaixing, Deng Yu and Wu Anguo: "You immediately summon your generals to convey the assassination of this general. Starting from tonight, scouts must be arranged around the camp day and night. This assassination has also caused trouble. As one of the four major sects in the East, we must pay attention to Wudang Mountain!"

Then Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and said to Jia Xu: "Immediately send someone to contact the Heishuitai spies in Canglong City to investigate the situation of Princess Xiangcheng!"

The beauty of the princess of Xiangcheng Liu Qingmei is mostly circulated among the children of the aristocratic families and wealthy families in the Jin Dynasty. Liu Ji had never heard of the princess of Xiangcheng Liu Qingmei before. Now the Queen Mother of the Jin Dynasty wants to marry Princess of Xiangcheng Liu Qingmei to herself. Of course, Liu Ji must know whether Princess of Xiangcheng Liu Qingmei is beautiful or ugly.

Originally, after the dinner of Dou Mansion, the important officials of the court who came to attend the dinner had already bid farewell to Dou Yan, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War. However, before these important officials of the court returned to their respective residences, they were sent by Dou Yan to find them back to Dou Mansion.

In a conference hall in Dou Mansion, the Ministry of War, Dou Yan, the Ministry of Personnel, Yang Zhong, the Ministry of Rites, Wang Zhihuan, the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Boran, the Ministry of Works, Sun Mingtao, the Ministry of Works, Zheng Kai, the Ministry of Revenue, Han Renji, the Ministry of Personnel, Wu Ziyu, the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Shunran, the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Sikai, the Ministry of Cavalry General Xiao Su. After listening to the narratives of Dou Yan's nephew Dou Chong and Dou Yan's other nephew, Dou Yan's other nephew, Dou Bing, the faces of the eleven important officials of the court were not very good.

"That boy from the Li family is too chaotic! If Liu Ji is really killed by him, the more than 2 million Polu troops in the Western Regions Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate will probably rebel immediately, and then our Grand Jin will be completely in chaos!" Yang Zhong, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of Personnel, said with an angry look on his face.

Dou Yan, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, sighed, "Fortunately, Liu Ji had nothing to do, but the Wudang Mountain disciples brought by Li Yifeng suffered heavy losses, otherwise it was really not something that our great Jin Dynasty could afford."

Wang Zhihuan, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of Rites, asked at this time: "Taiwei Dou, look at Liu Ji, how should our court explain it?"

Dou Yan frowned and said, "If Li Yifeng and the surviving Wudangshan disciples were handed over to Liu Ji, it would be possible to calm Liu Ji's anger. However, Li Yifeng is the son of General Li Hong, the chief of the Li family, and the grandson of Li Chongwen. In addition, Wudangshan is also an allies with our thirteenth family. In this way, things will be difficult to deal with. Li Yifeng and the surviving Wudangshan disciples must not be handed over to Liu Ji."

At this moment, a Dou family housekeeper reported outside the meeting hall that Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, came and wanted to see Dou Yan.

When Dou Yan heard this, he immediately asked the housekeeper to take Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, to the conference hall.

After Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, walked into the conference hall, and saw that many ministers from the court were there, he immediately spoke: "Everyone is here. I just went to see my confused grandson. From him, I learned that the news that the Empress Dowager was going to marry Princess Xiangcheng to Liu Ji was told by Shen Muqing, the disciple of Tianxuan Palace Master of Guanghan Palace. It was obvious that this was a conspiracy by Guanghan Palace against our Grand Jin. It was just that my confused grandson had lost his mind and caused such a big deal. I will apologize to you all!"

"It's the Guanghan Palace again! Taiwei Dou, we cannot let the people of Guanghan Palace be rampant like this anymore, otherwise it would be more difficult for the imperial court to wipe out the rebellion in the southeastern states. If it weren't for Guanghan Palace's sending many powerful generals to join the Red Turban Army of the rebel Zhang Mingqi, the Cavalry General Li Hong and the Cavalry General He Guangzong, they would not have been defeated continuously!" Cavalry General Xiao Su said excitedly.

When Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, heard the words of General Xiao Su, he followed and said, "General Xiao's words are reasonable. Since Guanghan Palace has stood on the side of the rebel Zhang Mingqi, I don't need to be polite to see the court. I should immediately let the disciples of Guanghan Palace be wiped out, so that Guanghan Palace knows that our Great Jin court is not easy to bully!"

"No! Guanghan Palace is the leader of the four major sects in the world, with an extremely strong foundation. Although Guanghan Palace is on the side of the rebel Zhang Mingqi, Guanghan Palace has not completely broken up with our Great Jin court. If we take thunderous measures against the disciples of Guanghan Palace, then there will be no room for maneuver. Once Guanghan Palace does its best to become an enemy of our Great Jin court, perhaps the chaos in the Great Jin court will be more than the seven southeastern states." Zhao Boran, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of Justice, immediately said in a deep voice as soon as Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, finished speaking.

Then the Grand Marshal Dou Yan of the Ministry of War sighed and said, "Guanghan Palace has developed in our Great Jin for hundreds of years. Its power in the Great Jin territory will not even be worse than Wudang Mountain. It is precisely because of this reason that our court has not taken any measures even though we know that Guanghan Palace is on the side of the rebel Zhang Mingqi. Just as Zhao Taiwei said, I am worried that it will affect my whole body. The court's attack on Guanghan Palace will trigger more rebellions, alas——”

Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, said anxiously: "Taiwei Dou, you can't let Guanghan Palace act like this. This time, my grandson was miserable by the people of Guanghan Palace. That Liu Ji is definitely not a good person to talk to!"

Dou Yan, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, pondered for a moment and said, "I thought I could reveal the conspiracy made by Guanghan Palace this time to Liu Ji. With Liu Ji's personality, I should not give up. It is best to let Liu Ji teach Guanghan Palace a lesson. What do you think?"

Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, immediately smiled and said, "Taiwei Dou has a good idea! In this matter, my grandson is also a victim. He was used as a gun by the people from Guanghan Palace. Liu Ji should go to find people from Guanghan Palace to take revenge!"

The Grand Marshal Dou Yan looked at Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Li, after all, this matter was taken up by Li Yifeng. Brother Li would be better off sending someone to reconcile with Liu Ji. Our thirteenth family must do their best to win over the generals like Liu Ji who hold heavy troops. We must not push Liu Ji to the royal family for some ridiculous reasons."

After pausing, Dou Yan continued to Li Chongwen: "Liu Ji is only eighteen years old this year and is still full of energy. If Brother Li can give him some beauties, it will be no problem to reconcile with him. Moreover, some of the transactions run by the Li family happen to be short of beauties."

Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, clasped his fists to Dou Yan, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, and said, "Dou Taiwei, don't worry, since this incident was caused by my grandson, our Li family will settle Liu Ji's relationship with our thirteenth family no matter what. This matter will not affect the relationship between Liu Ji and our thirteenth family!"

Han Renji, the Minister of War, suddenly asked Dou Yan: "Taiwei Dou, how should we deal with the Empress Dowager's intention to marry Princess Xiangcheng to Liu Ji? The empress dowager's intention to do this is too obvious!"

Dou Yan sneered and said, "I will never agree to marry Princess Xiangcheng to Liu Ji. After all, Liu Ji already has a wife that the Ming media has married."

Wu Ziyu, the Minister of Personnel, said with a little concern: "If the Empress Dowager insists on marrying Princess Xiangcheng to Liu Ji, she can give the imperial edict to let Princess Xiangcheng and Liu Ji's wife have equal status. Our dynasty has had such a precedent, and Princess Xiangcheng's beauty is the best in Canglong City, which will definitely be very attractive to Liu Ji. If Liu Ji insists on marrying, our thirteenth family will not be able to stop it."

Dou Yan waved his hand indifferently and said, "No matter how beautiful the Princess Xiangcheng is, she is just a woman. Now I have given Liu Ji four top-notch Qing Gongshu in Qinhuai City, Suzhou. Brother Li must have given Liu Ji some beauties to calm down this matter. Even if so many beauties are not as good as Princess Xiangcheng in terms of appearance, they are only slightly inferior. The Queen Mother's wishful thinking will not be so easy to start."

After Li Chongwen, the head of the Li family, left the Dou Mansion, he returned to the Li family's mansion in Canglong City. He didn't care that it was already the second half of the night, and immediately found two managers responsible for the Li family's brothel business in Canglong City. It turned out that among the nine largest brothels in Canglong City, six of them were owned by the Li family.

Li Chongwen asked the two managers Li Gu and Li Ran in a deep voice: "How many of the brothels in which you are responsible for can be called stunning priests?"

Although Li Gu and Li Ran were a little puzzled, why did the patriarch suddenly care about the brothel? You should know that the patriarch never asked about the business of the brothel in the past, but since the patriarch asked, the two of them would tell the truth quickly.

"Report to the clan leader, the Wanhua Tower, Chunfeng Pavilion, and Yicuiyuan, each has a top-notch Qing Gong, which can be called a stunning master, namely Qin Yuechan of Wanhua Tower, Lu Xiangru of Chunfeng Pavilion, and Wang Jingxiang of Yicuiyuan." Li Gu said respectfully.

Then Li Ran also said respectfully: "Report to the patriarch that the Zuihua Tower, Xunfang Pavilion and Yingchun Courtyard, each of which is responsible for the villain, also has a top-notch Qinggong, which can be called the stunning master, namely Shu Yuting of Zuihua Tower, Shi Jiezhen of Xunfang Pavilion, and Pan Tingting of Yingchun Courtyard."

Li Chongwen clapped his hands and said, "There are only six of them! You can send someone immediately to bring these six top-notch priests to the Li Mansion. I want to give them to Liu Ji!"

Li Gu and Li Ran were very shocked that Li Chongwen wanted to give away the top priests of the six brothels. You should know that these six top priests are very famous in Canglong City. Every year, just accompanying people to sing songs, the six top priests can earn tens of thousands of taels of gold for the Li family. When the six top priests start to pick up customers, the gold they earn will be more every year.

However, no matter how shocked the clan leader's order, Li Gu and Li Ran must implement it unconditionally. Early the next morning, Qin Yuechan of Wanhua Building, Lu Xiangru of Chunfeng Pavilion, Wang Jingxiang of Yicui Garden, Shu Yuting of Zuihua Building, Shi Jiezhen of Xunfang Pavilion, and Pan Tingting of Yingchun Garden, these six stunning young men from the capital were sent to Li's mansion one after another.

After all the six beautiful young masters arrived at the Li Mansion, Li Chongwen personally looked at the appearance of these six beautiful young masters. Li Chongwen felt a little reluctant to let go. He is worthy of being the top priest of brothels, and each one is as beautiful as a flower. You must know that every top priest of the Li family symbolizes a huge amount of wealth.

But in order to calm Liu Ji's anger, even if he can't bear it, he has to give it away!
