Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 124, No? Fan Xian ran away again! For the sake of my subordinates, I am willing to take another step back.

The eldest princess studied under Zhuang Mohan, so of course she could hear Liu Hong's subtext clearly.

Qianlong Bay is in Liu Hong's hands, girl! You just stay here obediently.

Zhan Pianpian's face turned pale, and the last bit of fantasy in her heart became a luxury.

He covered his mouth and started crying.

"You bad guy, I have never offended you! Why do you treat me like this..."

This made Liu Hong a little confused.

It's like he's the big bad wolf that's going to eat Little Red Riding Hood! Anyway, he's not a good person.

I wanted to go forward to comfort her, but the eldest princess was like a frightened rabbit. She quickly hid in another corner and started crying again.

"Don't worry, Princess. You will be free again in three years! I will bear the blame by then."

Liu Hong will give the eldest princess some hope.

In order to prevent the eldest princess of Northern Qi from becoming depressed one day and hanging herself, she would write a letter in blood to accuse Liu Hong.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Liu Hong nodded, his eyes were more real than gold!
After pacifying the eldest princess, Liu Hong left Peibo again with his personal guards, and asked the maids and guards to keep an eye on the eldest princess.

I also told Fatty Lu some more things.

Liu Hong looked back at Qianlong Bay, which had changed drastically.

He still has a lot to do in this city.

Investigate the taxes paid by the people, reach consensus on trade among merchants, win over the officials, and check the progress of the city's blacksmith shops in forging weapons and armor...

There's just no time.

Liu Hong unfolded an urgent letter of eight hundred miles. Fan Xian deliberately delayed for some time in Dingzhou and Taiyuan, waiting for Liu Hong to return.

This time when the diplomatic envoys returned to the capital, they happened to meet the eldest prince who was returning to the capital to report on his work.

The scene was grand, with the prince arriving in person and all the officials welcoming him.

This is no longer the courtesy that should be accorded to a returning diplomatic corps from a foreign country.

"Hey! Let's go. I'm back to Kyoto, a place full of intrigue."

Liu Hong tore the letter into pieces.

He rode almost non-stop with his personal guards, taking a shortcut to Taiyuan Road to meet up with the delegation.

Among the diplomatic envoys, Fan Xian had a gloomy face and was extremely anxious.

"No! I have to go to Kyoto. Li Chengze is so inconsiderate that he even didn't let go of the disabled Teng Zijing's family."

"Sir, then we won't wait for Master Liu Hong?"

Wang Qinian spoke hesitantly.

If the delegation had sped up, Liu Hong would not have arrived in Kyoto at the same level as the delegation.

I’m afraid that all my official positions will be dismissed!
"Who said that? Just say I'm not feeling well and will stop in Taiyuan to recuperate for a while. I'll go to Kyoto myself."

Fan Xian snorted coldly.

He had a good impression of Li Chengze at first, but he didn't expect that he was the mastermind behind the Niulan Street assassination.

But Teng Zijing was not dead after all, so there is still something to say about this matter.

But what he should never have done was to send his private army to threaten Fan Xian, causing a large number of soldiers to die in Black Wind Ridge. Now he is threatening him with Teng Zijing's family.

Do you really think that Fan Xian is made of clay?
Liu Hong had just arrived in Taiyuan when he received Fan Xian's second letter.

Qingguo is the home base of the Supervisory Commission, so it is very easy to find Liu Hong.

"Even if he hadn't faked his death to deceive the emperor, Fan Xian would have taken Wang Qinian to Kyoto? If he had seen the Baoyue Tower opened by Versace, he would have been so angry that he would have vomited blood."

Liu Hong smiled and accepted the letter.

Versace said that he had no idea about the business of Baoyue Tower. Did Fan Xian believe this lie?
How can it be!

To be precise, Versace didn't care.

Versace, whose father was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Si Nanbo Fan Jian, and whose mother was the descendant of a duke, can be considered a royal relative.

Her elder sister is a well-known talented woman in Kyoto, and her brother-in-law is Liu Hong, the Minister of War. He is the Earl of Pei, whose fiefdom in Qing State is comparable to that of a marquis, and he has his own private army.

Even though they always seemed to be at odds with each other, in fact, they got along well with their brother Fan Xian, who was also a world-renowned talent and a future powerful official with financial power, supervisory power, and law enforcement power. With such a background, Versace didn't care about the dirty things below.

After all, even the princes, Qin family members, and Ye family members have to greet him with a smile, facing the most powerful second-generation official, and dare not offend him easily.

"According to what I told Shi Chanli, he should be the shopkeeper of Baoyue Tower now."

Liu Hong smiled slightly.

Baoyue Tower is a good thing. It helps Fan Xian to grasp the entire intelligence of Qing Kingdom in the later period. Of course, he wants to get a piece of the pie.

"Yes, some time ago, Shi Chanli sent a letter to complain, saying that you had arranged too many things for him, and he couldn't concentrate on the imperial examination."

When Liu Hong heard the word "imperial examination", he was in a trance for a moment and his expression became serious.

He remembered that Fan Xian returned to Kyoto and told the Crown Prince the location where the Second Prince, the Eldest Princess and Bei Qi had an affair.

As a result, Shijia Town was completely burned down by a huge fire, and Shi Chanli lost everything.

Since Shi Chanli is his man now, this will not happen.

So what if the prince sent his own army? He was now the Minister of War, and he only needed to exchange interests with the Qin family and even transfer part of the garrison troops in Taiyuan Road to Shijia Town.

"Tell Shi Chanli in reply that he should evacuate the population of Shijia Town as soon as possible. You can even tell Qin Heng that I will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of War, and even give him the position of Left Vice Minister."

Ji Xin looked at Liu Hong in shock. He didn't expect that Liu Hong was willing to make such a concession for Shi Chanli.

This is the Ministry of War! With the Shangshu not in charge, the Zuo Shilang holds most of the power.

Even though the Right Vice Minister Qin Heng tried his best to undermine the Shangshu and Liu Hong.

However, the power belonging to the Left Vice Minister was still in his hands because of his position.

"For Shi Chanli, I am willing to make some concessions."

Liu Hong smiled gently.

"Send the message! If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"grown ups……"

Ji Xin choked up. He was completely devoted to Liu Hong because of his loyalty and righteousness towards his subordinates.

Working under such an adult, you will never worry about being suddenly abandoned.

Liu Hong returned to the delegation with his personal guards. Many officials of the Nanqing delegation remained calm, as if they had gotten used to Liu Hong's sudden departure.

Nanqing is their base camp, and news is coming from all directions.

Even though Liu Hong and his personal guards were on their way non-stop, they could not match the speed of a carrier pigeon.

The news of the battle against 80,000 Western Hu cavalry in Qianlong Bay and the exchange of fire with the Western Hu Khan was already in their hands.

"With the great victory at Qianlong Bay and the great achievement of killing Shen Zhong during the mission to Northern Qi, Lord Liu is probably the youngest minister in the court of Qing."

Some officials were envious and jealous, and spoke out in shame.

"It seems that returning to Kyoto will lead to another fight. After all, the Qin family will not willingly give up the military department that they have worked so hard to control."

The experienced official sighed, as if he could sense the swordplay that was about to take place in Kyoto.

"grown ups……"

Gundam was anxious and very tired.

Both the chief and deputy envoy of the delegation were restless guys. Liu Hong had just returned, but Fan Xian ran to Kyoto.

"I understand what you mean. The delegation should move forward slowly. After all, the eldest prince is leading his army back to the capital to report on his work. We should give way."

Liu Hong raised his hand to stop Gaoda from saying the next thing.

Gundam nodded gratefully.

After resting for five or six days, the delegation set off again. After all, Fan Xian was already a ninth-rank warrior. What kind of disease could make a warrior lie in bed for a week?

While Liu Hong was sorting out the information, he felt a bit of a headache for a moment.

"Your Highness the First Prince is truly a loyal and honest man! But to enter the city with me is too great an honor."

In the handwritten letter from Li Chengru, he enthusiastically recalled the days when he fought side by side with Liu Hong.

This prince is a man who cherishes old ties. Knowing that Liu Hong and the Qin family are having a fight, he is ready to create momentum for Liu Hong.

Liu Hong felt grateful, but also a little amused.
