There is only one reason for the shortage: most of the money has been transferred to a small number of people.
The Great Chu has only just begun, and with Xu Weixiong and the Hundred Bears overseeing things, even if someone wants to cause trouble, they'd better think twice about their own life.
Jiang Xuan looked at the peaceful city of Xiangfan and the beautiful women standing in front of the Chu King's mansion.
Xu Weixiong, Yu Youwei, Wang Chudong, Jiang Xuan chuckled and then opened his arms.
After exchanging a few words and exchanging pleasantries, he bowed to Cao Changqing to show his respect.
The Chu Prince's mansion was bustling with activity today. He had thought that would be all the people there, but to his surprise, later that evening, Miss Hehe and Xuanyuan Qingfeng had also arrived.
Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered the white-faced fox he had encountered when he left Luoxia Valley.
I wonder how she is now, and whether she has mastered martial arts.
He actually wanted to send a message to White Fox Face, but he never had the chance.
At this moment, Xu Weixiong, who was sitting to the side, looked over with a concerned expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head, then grasped Xu Weixiong's hand and smiled.
At this moment, Xu Weixiong looked around, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes before asking directly, "How many women do you have?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan actually showed a thoughtful expression, and then began fiddling with his fingers.
"Hmm... one, two, three, four..."
Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Xu Weixiong gritted his teeth and then gently pinched Jiang Xuan's lower back.
Although Jiang Xuan wasn't in pain, he still grimaced.
Xu Weixiong glared at him fiercely, but finally released his grip.
This time, Jiang Xuan saw a different kind of emotion in Xu Weixiong's eyes.
Meanwhile, a foot kicked out from under the table.
Jiang Xuan instantly realized that he would probably have to work overtime tonight.
But thinking about the Lunar New Year, isn't it normal to stay up all night on New Year's Eve?
Then he spent a long and joyful time keeping watch over the New Year with Xu Weixiong, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, and others.
……
……
The sun was shining brightly.
Jiang Xuan looked at the sun, which had begun to tilt, and finally couldn't help but shake his head with a light laugh.
He has only slept for less than an hour since last night.
The rest of the time was spent busily searching for treasure.
Jiang Xuan had just stepped out of the room when he saw Cao Changqing sitting at the main gate of the Chu Prince's Mansion, drinking tea.
Jiang Xuan strode over, looked at the other person with a relaxed expression, and then sat down directly.
"Master."
Cao Changqing glanced at Jiang Xuan, then couldn't help but shake his head.
His apprentice was good in every way, except that his love life was too colorful.
He was surrounded by women, each one stunningly beautiful and captivating, making it hard to look away.
However, given Jiang Xuan's status and current achievements, it's quite normal for him to have several women.
But he was afraid that the other person would become addicted to it, which would be a loss.
Jiang Xuan seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and then chuckled and spoke.
“Master, you’re overthinking it. I have feelings for them, not just for their beautiful appearance.”
Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Cao Changqing sighed and could only shake his head in the end.
He still believed in his apprentice, so he didn't say anything more.
At this moment, he took out a golden scroll from his bosom.
"It was sent by Li Yang."
Chapter 133 Imperial Edict of the Li Yang Dynasty: Princess Suizhu's Marriage
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he was taken aback at first, then narrowed his eyes and reached out to take the scroll.
Was it sent by the Li Yang royal family?
Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered that those were the words that Xuan Yuan Qingfeng had told him before.
Sum up.
Jiang Xuan opened the scroll in his hand. Looking at the text and the large seal at the end, he realized that this was no ordinary scroll, but an imperial edict issued by the Li Yang Dynasty.
Jiang Xuan chuckled, a smile appearing on his face, and then looked at Cao Changqing sitting to the side: "Is the Li Yang royal family trying to put us in a superior position?"
“Yes.” Cao Changqing smiled and shook his head, saying, “When the people from Liyang came over, some were thinking about whether to kneel down, and some actually did.”
Jiang Xuan glanced at the imperial edict in his hand and continued, "Yes, after all, the Liyang Dynasty has existed for a hundred years, and it still exudes a strong sense of awe in the eyes of the people of Liyang."
Cao Changqing nodded slightly, but before he could speak, Jiang Xuan suddenly frowned. When he looked up again, his eyes revealed a look of confusion.
"What does this mean? Summation like this?"
Cao Changqing stroked his beard, a bright smile spreading across his face.
He naturally knew what the other party meant, and then shook his head, looking at Jiang Xuan beside him: "Li Yang doesn't want to spend money, nor is he willing to cede territory, but he's also afraid of losing face, so he voluntarily bestows these places upon you."
"Then we'll marry Princess Suizhu to you, that way we'll have you tied down."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sneer and said directly, "Do the people of Liyang underestimate me?"
"Even if I'm surrounded by women, I'm not someone who can't walk past a woman, let alone a little princess who's notoriously arrogant and domineering in the martial arts world?"
"I, Jiang Xuan, am not lacking in women, and do they really think I would stop taking action for the sake of Princess Suizhu?"
Just as Cao Changqing was about to speak, footsteps suddenly came from behind Jiang Xuan.
Xu Weixiong sat down next to Jiang Xuan at this moment. She took the tea that he poured for her, took a sip, and then looked at Jiang Xuan.
"What they need is not for you to give up, but simply time."
Hearing his own somewhat hoarse voice, Xu Weixiong glared fiercely at Jiang Xuan, then took another sip of water.
"Because during your wedding, and in the period before that, it's impossible for you to have laid a hand on me, right?"
"What they need is this period of time to give them some breathing room."
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Xuan's face showed a look of great interest.
Finally, he raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and said, "Why not?"
Xu Weixiong was taken aback at first, then chuckled and shook his head, before glaring at Jiang Xuan.
So, what are your thoughts?
Jiang Xuan chuckled and stroked his chin before continuing, "I heard that Zhao Dun vomited a mouthful of blood because of the Longhu Mountain incident?"
"Yes, I heard he's not in good health now, I don't know how much longer he has to live."
Xu Weixiong pondered for a moment, then continued, "The Li Yang Dynasty is currently in a state of utter chaos."
"It is precisely because of this incident that most people chose to seek peace. After all, Liyang cannot withstand any more turmoil. If the old emperor dies, the Liyang Dynasty is likely to fall into serious internal strife."
"Since that's the case, then I agree." Jiang Xuan nodded with a light laugh, and then continued, "After all, if something happens, I can help my adoptive father-in-law, can't I?"
Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Cao Changqing and Xu Weixiong, who were beside him, looked at him and then shook their heads with smiles.
Xu Weixiong looked at the two of them, as if she had thought of something serious: "By the way, when we were seeking peace some time ago, a young eunuch appeared in the court of Liyang."
"This person is extremely enraged and even wants to attack you and kill you outright."
Jiang Xuan stroked his chin, a look of great interest on his face.
The moment he heard this person's name, he knew who it was: the strongest person in Li Yang, and one of his trump cards, the young eunuch.
Jiang Xuan naturally knew why the young eunuch was angry, because he cultivated the destiny of the nation and the fortune of the people.
Because he lives as long as the nation exists, he will never die as long as the sun remains.
He is a true celestial being on land, a true powerhouse.
However, this powerful figure's strength slightly declined after Jiang Xuan seized Xiangfan City, Huishan, and other places.
However, for him, these things were not uncontrollable; they were merely a tickle to him.
However, after Jiang Xuan destroyed Longhu Mountain, destroyed Thunder Pool, and seized the Golden Lotus of Fortune, the young eunuch finally couldn't sit still any longer.
Because the fortune of the Liyang Dynasty was severely damaged at this time.
The young eunuch even had fine wrinkles on his face, making him look like a middle-aged man.
So how could a young eunuch possibly sit still?
If this continues, he might very well perish on the spot.
Therefore, it is quite normal for a young eunuch to have such thoughts due to his uncontrollable rage.
However, even as a young eunuch, he still did not receive support from others.
After all, nobody wants to cause trouble at this time, and nobody wants to cause a bigger upheaval or a bigger conflict.
Zhao Dun thought so too.
Zhao Dun initially planned to have Princess Suizhu marry Xu Fengnian, the heir of Beiliang.
However, Jiang Xuan's sudden appearance caused the matter to be shelved before it could even be brought up.
A young eunuch is, after all, just a eunuch. Even if he wanted to get involved in court affairs, he couldn't openly interfere.
Jiang Xuan saw the last part and a smile appeared on his face: "Alright, let me go to Tai'an City and have a good talk in the palace."
"This is a trap! They want to kill me?"
When Xu Weixiong heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "I also think they have such plans, so I thought I'd help you refuse."
