[Fat Fox? Su Xuan? What does this have to do with her? ]

[Of course it matters! That little bastard used your fleet to get a batch of high-level materials from the Bei Empire and threatened to use them to build houses! ]

[Oh, isn't this normal? When you come back from somewhere else, you always bring some local specialties.]

[Yes, I didn't say that her buying and selling behavior was wrong. The problem is that this batch of high-level materials is what the other world urgently needs. After we received the news, we naturally couldn't let the duck that fell into our mouth fly away again.]

[So we went to Su Xuan to negotiate, hoping to buy all the high-level materials she had at a price 10% higher than the market price.]

[What happened next? She didn’t agree? ]

[Of course we agreed, but we overestimated our financial resources and underestimated the transportation capacity of your fleet.]

[After we have finished accounting for all the goods, our finance department was horrified to find that the goods in your warehouse are just enough to clear all the working capital in the other world! ]

[We are one of the three major powers in the world, but your family has emptied our coffers. I don't believe that Bei, that bastard, didn't do this! ]

[So, there is no money in the other world now! Not a cent at all! ]

[You said yourself that you are one of the three major forces, how can your treasury be emptied so easily? Besides, isn't the inner world still running normally? Sister Hua, you can't deny your debts like this. You can't lie to me.]

[What did I lie to you about? The reason why all the major agencies in the inner world can still operate normally is that they rely on debt to survive. ]

[Hey! May I ask who the creditor is? ]

[Haha, it’s still that damn fox of yours. In other words, the biggest creditor of the other world is now you, my little ancestor!!]

【Yoho! 】

For a moment, Shen Yuelan didn't know whether she should laugh out loud and praise Su Xuan, or mourn with everyone present. In short, Su Xuan did a great job and was able to clear out all the liquid funds in the entire inner world. How much money must she have made.

But while Shen Yuelan was happy, she did not forget to observe Hua Liluo's facial expression. Hua Liluo was not a person who only knew how to complain. She must have said this to pave the way for something. This old fox had to be on guard.

As expected, before Shen Yuelan could say anything, Hua Liluo took over the conversation and cried to Shen Yuelan about how difficult the inner world was right now, and hoped that Shen Yuelan would forgive some of the debts for the sake of their relationship.

But Shen Yuelan was not the kind of person who would let herself suffer any loss. She said with a sad face that she had no say in the matter of debt reduction or forgiveness.

Instead of wasting time here, Hua Liluo might as well contact her family's finance manager, that is, Su Xuan. The money was earned by her, and only she could make the final decision on this matter. She was just a hands-off boss and had no say in the family.

Hua Liluo twitched her lips when she heard this. You are the only one who has no say? Didn't you pay out the one million yuan in compensation two days ago? Why is she unable to do so now? Do you really think she is old and blind?

Before Hua Liluo could figure out how to refute her, Shen Yuelan started chattering again.

[Sister Hua, the inner world is in such a difficult situation right now. As a member of the inner world, I cannot just sit there and do nothing about it. How about this? All my bonuses and resources that have not been distributed this year...]

【You don’t want any of them? 】

[You can postpone it until next year, but you can't owe me a penny. ]

Hua Liluo's face instantly fell, and she angrily took everyone from the Time Management Bureau to deal with the singularity.

Chapter 345: Great Again

During the conversation, Fan Su, who had been standing by as a background, saw that Hua Liluo's team had completely left their sight, so she secretly came to Shen Yuelan and asked her with some concern:

[Girl, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this? As the old saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Shouldn't we have given way to him just now? ]

[Well, Sister Fan Su, what you said is not wrong. From the perspective of human relations, it should be so. But what happened just now was not about human relations, but a pure dispute over interests. If that's the case, then why should I give up the benefits? ]

[To put it bluntly, if Hua Liluo came to me today and begged me, I would help her even if I had to lose everything I had. Why? Because she is my master's grandmaster, and she has been worrying about me for the past few years since I started practicing.]

[But it was obvious just now, wasn't it? She came here today to speak on behalf of the inner world. So why should I help her? Or why should I help the inner world?]

[Every bonus and every achievement I made was earned by me and my sisters who worked hard with blood and sweat. Some of them even lost their lives for this. Do you think I can give up for her? ]

[As for that debt, it was also the result of Su Xuan's hard work, and it has nothing to do with me. It's fine if I didn't contribute, but do I have to hold her back? ]

[Alas, in this era of great contention, you cannot give in even a little. ]

Fan Su didn't quite understand what Shen Yuelan said. More than ten years of life as a house prostitute had limited her imagination. She had followed Shen Yuelan for only a short time and had not yet formed a corresponding concept in her mind, let alone understood the related debates.

But there was one thing Shen Yuelan understood, which was that people should not borrow flowers to offer to others, especially the flowers in other people's hands.

[So that's how it is. I understand this, but I have another question. It's not good for us to lose face for that noble lady in front of everyone. I'm afraid she will make things difficult for you because of this.]

[Hmph, don't worry. That person is my great master, and he is very sensible. If she really needs me to forgive her debt, she would definitely discuss it with me in private. She asked me about this in front of so many people today, I'm afraid it's just for show.]

[Alas, it seems that Su Xuan's earnings are a bit too eye-catching. Some people in the other world are already jealous. I'll call Su Xuan later and ask her to spend the money as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid she won't be able to keep it for long.]

[Yes, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. According to what you said, almost everyone knows that our family is rich now, so in the eyes of others, we are walking gold ingots and fat pork on the chopping board.]

[We must not only guard against those who have some dignity in the inner world's imperial court, but also those who are shameless and make small moves in secret. Because of his reputation, Langjun has encountered this kind of thing many times before.]

[Oh, then how did Mr. Bai resolve it? ]

[Alas, what can I do? I have to find a reason to make myself feel good and spend the money in front of everyone.]

[Hahaha, great minds think alike. I think so too. The sooner the better. I'll contact Su Xuan now.]

Not to mention Shen Yuelan's careful planning, Hua Liluo had already led the team to the Daming Palace in a hurry. Before entering the palace, she secretly looked back in the direction of Shen Yuelan.

Shen Yuelan's guess was almost right. Su Xuan's business deal did irritate the nerves of some old guys. They collectively put pressure on Hua Liluo, asking her to represent the other world in her capacity as the master and ask Shen Yuelan for debt relief.

Although Hua Liluo was very dissatisfied with this, blindly opposing it would only lead to greater retaliation, so she made a conditional concession. She would find an opportunity to raise this matter with Shen Yuelan, but she could not guarantee whether it would succeed.

The other members of the round table did not really want to fall out with Hua Liluo over this matter, so after Hua Liluo made some concessions, everyone agreed to her conditions.

Anyway, success or failure is not important. What matters is to give it a try.

If it succeeds, that would be great, as their budget for next year would be a little more generous. If it fails, that doesn't matter either, they can just give that little girl a small warning through Hua Liluo first.

The inner world will not fall into the same pit twice. This year is just an accident. If they play the same trick on them again next year, they will go to Shen Yuelan's house and take advantage of their seniority!

Thinking back to the present, after Hualiluo entered the palace, she quietly made a rough assessment of this palace which was very likely to become a battlefield.

In Hualiluo's opinion, although the construction technology of the entire palace complex has no technological content at all, its scale is quite large. And because of its excellent geographical location, this place looks very majestic.

The so-called "New Emperor" was now standing on the steps in front of the Hanyuan Palace, looking down at Hua Liluo and the others with an expression of contempt for all living beings and an outlaw look.

Hua Liluo was also very nervous when she saw this. Normally, when a little demon saw so many of them rushing towards them, they would either be scared to death or run away crying.

And this guy could actually stare at them so calmly, as still as a mountain. It must be that he was prepared. Hua Liluo couldn't help but smack her lips in secret.

[Tsk, it looks like we've run into a tough guy. This battle may not end peacefully.]

Everyone behind Hua Liluo had the same guess, however, they were not intimidated by the enemy's contemptuous aura. As the elite of the Time Management Bureau, they were now quietly investigating the enemy's deployment in order to seek the slim chance of victory.

[Report, there are 2,000 Shen Ce troops lying in ambush in Zuo Jin Wu Zhang Yuan and Dong Nei Yuan respectively, their strength is unknown! ]

[Report, the same arrangement is also found in the Right Golden Staff Courtyard and the West Inner Courtyard, but their strength is unknown! ]

[Report, there are hundreds of soldiers lurking in Hanyuan Palace, their strength is unknown! ]

[Report, there are also thousands of archers ambushing in Qifeng Pavilion and Xiangying Pavilion, there may be threats! ]

[Report, the enemy has also deployed troops in the Purple Palace, the Black Tortoise Palace, the Linde Palace, the Qingsi Palace, the Supreme Harmony Palace, and the Taiye Lake. The situation is unclear! ]

【Report…………】

Hua Liluo had never been so sweaty before. She had never thought that a small mission that was initially judged to be C-level could produce so many tricks. But could she retreat? Of course not.

Not to mention that because of Su Xuan's matter, there were already a few old guys watching nearby. Even Shen Huanyan was not far from here. As soon as she opened her special eyes, she could see the situation here clearly.

As a master, how can I lose face in front of a child? Absolutely not! Leading by example is not just talk.

So, even though Hua Liluo's sweat never dried on her head, she still stood there, staring at the new emperor whose strength was unfathomable.

For a moment, the two men's momentum was equal, which made everyone present very excited. They hoped very much that the leader in front of them could defeat the other party with an absolutely crushing attitude and make the Time Management Bureau great again in the other world!

Chapter 346: Empty City Strategy

Little did they know that the opponent was also very hairy. Its body was a Kaiyuan Tongbao coin named Huichang Yan, who was considered one of Huichang Luo's many younger brothers. It was this guy who caused Huichang Luo to be mistakenly arrested before.

When he first became a currency demon, he was young and frivolous, lawless, and lacked discipline. He killed many people and was hunted by the Currency Inspection Team.

Although he regretted it deeply, he did not want to surrender and ruin his thousand years of cultivation, so he found a sister from the same clan who looked very similar to him as a scapegoat.

His action was not entirely intended to harm others. Hui Changyan had accidentally learned from his friends in the past that there was a complete mechanism for redressing grievances in the other world.

There was also sufficient evidence to prove that her elder sister was not present when the incident happened. In order to ensure the effect, Huichang Yan even secretly added a few more cameras in the area where Huichang Luo often moved.

The images in it could help Hui Changluo to clear himself of the crime afterwards, and he might even turn a disaster into a blessing and obtain compensation from the other world. By that time, he himself would have already wandered around the world and no one would be able to find him.

As for why, even though he had clearly planned to travel around the world, he still appeared in the unified era with Shen Yuelan and others. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with him, at least he didn't take the initiative to seek it out.

The time when Huichang Luo and Huichang Yan became demons was actually in modern times. Huichang Yan also committed the murder during that period. After plotting against Huichang Luo, he fled and his destination was the Tang Dynasty.

Later, for unknown reasons, Huichang Luo also escaped to this era, and Shen Yuelan and his group were also connected to the Time Management Bureau. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was very large, and before this incident happened, none of the three forces discovered the existence of each other.

Not long after, things developed just as Huichang Yan had expected. Huichang Luo not only received a huge amount of compensation, but also got the opportunity to work in the other world.

At that time, because of the big thunders that Shen Yuelan had encountered before, Hui Changyan, who was cautious by nature, vaguely discovered something. Although he was not sure about the purpose and identity of Shen Yuelan and others, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Calculating the time, Hui Changluo's suspicion has most likely been cleared by her, but who knows when the fire of sin in her will burn upon herself, so it is better to be careful during this period.

Huichang Yan thought so and planned to do so, but reality did not allow him to keep a low profile.

Because he was hungry, Huichang Yan wanted to sneak into the palace to get something to eat and drink, but he happened to encounter a rare historical mutation. Emperor Xuanzong Li Chen suddenly suffered a heart attack while eating and died.

Huichang Yan was now in a panic, because his presence had been left in the palace, and it was difficult to eliminate. As long as the people from the Currency Inspection Team conducted a thorough investigation, he would definitely be to blame and would have no way to defend himself.

But he just wanted to have some food and drink. Even though he did have some criminal records, which were indeed enough to get him shot, he has already changed. Why do you have to torture him like this?

With no other options, Huichang Yan could only possess Li Chen, intending to be Li Chen's emperor for thirteen years, at least to deal with the matter before Shen Yuelan and others left.

But governing a country was far more complicated than Huichang Yan had imagined. He had thought that copying homework was a simple matter, but he had not expected that just dealing with the eunuch Ma Yuanzhi would exhaust Huichang Yan's energy.

In order to get rid of this damn eunuch as soon as possible, he began to try every means to weaken the other party. The effect was quite good at the beginning. While conforming to the historical process, he also added some of his own private work into it.

He sent all the main forces of the Shence Army loyal to Ma Yuanzhi's faction to Longxi in order to weaken the military power of the eunuchs.

Originally, he thought that he could boil the frog in warm water in this way and gradually wear down Ma Yuanzhi's power. However, Ma Yuanzhi was meticulous and always kept more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Shen Ce Army in his hands. No matter how he tempted them, they refused to send them out.

Just when Huichang Yan was in great distress, a piece of sad news suddenly came that Bai Juyi, the pillar of the Tang Dynasty literary world, had passed away. Of course, as a money demon, Huichang Yan would not care about the life or death of a mortal.

What caught his attention was an anecdote about the women of the Bai family. The anecdote mentioned that Bai Juyi's eldest daughter, Bai Jinluan, seemed to have come back to life in the last few years of Bai Juyi's life and had always been by his side.

Hui Changyan, who is a coin demon, knows very well that no mortal in this world can be resurrected from the dead, unless she is a demon.

Therefore, Hui Changyan concluded that this woman named Bai Jinluan was by no means simple, and might even be the instigator of the previous chaos. He might find it difficult to match her, but he could use one or two things from her.

So, at a court meeting one day, he took advantage of the anecdote and asked Ma Yuanzhi to send someone to invite the woman who was suspected to be a fairy into the palace to ask her about the art of seeking immortality.

Ma Yuanzhi, who had long discovered that Li Chen was difficult to control, was eager for Li Chen to take the elixir as soon as possible and meet his ancestors, so he cooperated very well with Huichang Yan's orders.

As a result, Shen Yuelan, who had just returned to Beijing, was inexplicably harassed by several rounds of the Shen Ce Army and the eunuchs who delivered imperial edicts. However, Shen Yuelan did not disappoint Hui Changyan's expectations and quickly dealt with all the Shen Ce Army he sent.

By the time Ma Yuanzhi came to his senses and felt that something was wrong and planned to escape, it was too late.

If Shen Yuelan was an ordinary person, or a monster with some abilities, then Hui Changyan might have gotten what he wanted, dealing with his biggest concern and finding out the enemy's situation.

But Shen Yuelan was not like that. Hui Changyan even drew the worst lot. He never dreamed that a little evil spirit like Shen Yuelan would attract all the adults from the Time Management Bureau.

Huichang Yan was not pretending to be cool. He actually wanted to slide down to his knees in front of Hua Liluo and shout "surrender". However, the fear in his mind still dominated, and for a moment he could not control Li Chen's body and do what he wanted to do.

Therefore, Huichang Yan could only bite the bullet and confront Hua Liluo and others with an expressionless face.

Although she was confused by Hui Changyan's appearance for a while, after a while, Hua Liluo figured out that something was wrong. Why didn't this guy take action? How long did he plan to confront them?

Hua Liluo's patience had run out and she didn't want to waste any more time here. Her eyes became serious and she took action instantly. Since she had decided to do it, she couldn't hesitate at all. Her move would be a killing move. Even if the tiger in front of her was a real one, she would have to pull out two of its fangs!

But her attack was not a big deal. The enemy didn't lose much hair, but she did sprain her old waist.

Chapter 347: Krypton Fraud Plan

The reason was simple. The moment Hua Liluo attacked, Hui Changyan knelt down in a timely manner. Also, because Hua Liluo's target was his head and the target was relatively high, in the end, Hui Changyan only had a few hairs knocked off by Hua Liluo.

Hua Liluo held her old waist, gritting her teeth as she looked at Huichang Yan, who was kneeling in front of her and desperately begging for surrender. Her little face turned red with anger.

Why was she so stupid just now? Why didn't she see that this bastard was a paper tiger, a weak little trash? I just confronted this spineless bastard for such a long time, ah! I was so angry!

Now, not only did those old bastards see him making a fool of himself, but Shen Yuelan and the elite subordinates behind him also saw it. It was so embarrassing.

Ah, Hua Liluo really wanted to pin this shameful bastard in front of her to death, then find a crack in the ground to crawl into and not see anyone for hundreds of years.

Hua Liluo was extremely embarrassed. In fact, the "elites" behind her were not in a much better situation at the moment. After all, they were the ones who had been reporting just now. Although they had misjudged the enemy's strength, the chief should take the main responsibility.

But an important reason why the director made a wrong judgment was their previous reports. If the director became angry and severely punished them, they would have nothing to argue.

Fortunately, Hua Liluo was not that kind of leader. After calming down, she ordered her people to detain Jiang Changyan, preparing to find a reason to kill him without anyone knowing.

However, in view of the relationship between Huichang Yan and Huichang Luo, at the suggestion of Shen Yuelan, Hua Liluo finally decided to let the two meet as a condition to see if the compensation could be reduced.
