Chapter 25 System Settlement! Summon Shen Wansan! Tianshan Zhemei Hand!

Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Several eunuchs hung the calligraphy and painting "Ode to Snow" in the most conspicuous place so that it can be seen as soon as you enter the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Emperor Qing stood in the hall and looked at it again and again. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. "Great! Only the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the world is worthy of this painting."

After the young eunuchs left the hall, Hong Sixiang walked in with his body hunched.

"Your Majesty, when the female official of Guangxin Palace left the house with the calligraphy and painting, she was followed by the Northern Qi Jinyiwei."

"The one who came from the Jinyiwei is Wei Hua, the son of Wei Bi. He is a fourth-rank assistant of the Jinyiwei and has a cultivation level of the upper eighth rank."

"The Royal Guards and the Princess's men did not fight. It seems that both sides know each other."

Li Yunrui was in charge of the inner treasury, and smuggling with Northern Qi began around the same time.

Hearing that the princess might have a relationship with the Royal Guards, Emperor Qing asked calmly, "How is the painting?"

Hong Sixiang continued, "She was brought into the palace by a female official, and should be in the hands of the eldest princess."

Emperor Qing's expression was stern, "I know. What's wrong with Prince Jing and Prince Yong when you left the palace this time?"

Hong Sixiang looked calm and was not at all shy about talking about royal affairs.

As the two most powerful men in Qing Kingdom, they were not afraid of anyone eavesdropping.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing is still planting flowers and grass, nothing unusual."

"His Royal Highness Prince Yong got a windfall, but was attacked by the Imperial Guards last night."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing angrily said, "Wei Hua is so bold, how about Prince Yong's Mansion?"

Hong Sixiang went on to say, "Zhao Gao already has the strength of an eighth-rank master, and the eunuchs and palace maids he taught have also cultivated to the sixth-rank master."

"Zhao Gao stopped Wei Hua and alerted the palace guards, who were able to repel the Jinyiwei. His Royal Highness Prince Yong is not seriously injured."

"But His Royal Highness Prince Yong is very angry. He claims that he wants to recruit heroes from the martial arts world to protect the palace, and he is also determined to learn martial arts."

In fact, Zhao Gao’s current cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level, and is on par with Hong Sixiang.

Therefore, when Hong Sixiang arrived near Prince Yong's Mansion, he had already been noticed by Zhao Gao.

As for Li Changan's recruitment of heroes and his determination to practice martial arts, he told all of this to Hong Sixiang.

Li Changan wanted to use the Jinyiwei attack to bring to light what he had done in secret before.

Emperor Qing said, "Let him confess. He hyped up his calligraphy and paintings to such a high value that it might attract many bandits."

In fact, Li Changan's calligraphy and paintings were sold at a high price, and Emperor Qing was also fueling the trend. This was a major event for the literary style of Zhuangnan Qing.

"The princess has contact with the Royal Guards. Find someone to keep an eye on Yun Rui and see what he is doing."

Hong Sixiang remained calm and bowed to receive the order, "This old servant obeys the order."

Shu Ning Palace.

Hong Zhu and a dozen eunuchs and palace maids were kneeling in front of Concubine Liu, holding some gold and silver in their hands.

At Li Yunrui's instruction, all the eunuchs and palace maids familiar to Liu Shuyan were replaced.

Liu Shuyan sighed, "You have been with Chang'an and me for almost six years, and now Chang'an has left the palace to start his own residence."

"You are leaving too. Take these gold and silver with you. There are many things in the palace that need to be taken care of."

Hong Zhu comforted her, "Don't worry, Concubine Dowager. When Your Highness grows up, we will definitely take you out to live out your days in peace."

Whether the concubine dowager can follow the prince out of the palace depends on the emperor's words.

However, given Emperor Qing's stubborn and suspicious personality, it may not be that easy.

Liu Shuyan said, "Okay, let's go. Be sure to do your job properly when you get to other places."

After they left, Hong Zhu called a few young eunuchs to his room.

"Concubine Liu and His Royal Highness Prince Yong are so kind to us. If you hear any news that is unfavorable to them, you must tell me in time."

These young eunuchs were not trained by Zhao Gao, but were peripheral personnel developed by Hong Zhu.

They didn't know Li Changan's secret, they just acted as spies in the usual palace fights.

It was only a matter of time before Hong Zhu and the others were driven out of Shuning Palace, and this was all within Li Changan's expectations. Otherwise, it would be a waste for a talent like Hong Zhu to stay in Shuning Palace.

At the instruction of Emperor Qing, the Inspection Institute deliberately spread Li Changan's reputation of "three poems at the age of five, three masterpieces at the age of ten, and three sages at the age of twenty".

Coupled with the myth of earning 560,000 taels of silver from an auction, Li Changan completely established himself in the literary world.

After the attack on Prince Yong's Mansion, Li Changan began to practice martial arts openly, and Emperor Qing was very supportive.

He also allowed Li Changan to choose martial arts secrets from the royal collection, and Li Changan of course memorized them all without hesitation.

But after memorizing them, Li Changan found that these martial arts were much worse than those provided by the system.

The martial arts secrets provided by the system are extremely powerful and can even kill enemies above their own level.

After that, Li Changan released a work every month in Sanyong Pavilion.

However, these works either have paintings but no poetry, or have poetry but no paintings.

Scarcity makes things valuable, so Li Changan deliberately controlled the flow of his calligraphy and paintings into the market.

If his calligraphy and paintings were everywhere on the streets, there would be no point in cherishing them.

Even such calligraphy and paintings are worth more than 50,000 taels of silver.

Even so, Li Changan's calligraphy and paintings were sold far and wide in the Northern Qi Dynasty and were sought after in the literary circles of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

More than a year later, when Li Changan was twelve years old, he finally broke through to the seventh level.

In the world of Joy of Life, people of the seventh and eighth ranks are already considered masters.

It would be scary to tell others that he is a seventh-grade master at the age of twelve.

Li Changan sold magazines, calligraphy and paintings, and saved up three million taels of silver in a year.

Therefore, his wealth ranking was improved again, and his martial arts ranking finally entered the top ten thousand!

[Your wealth ranking rises to 1820th! ]

[Your military power ranking rises to 4500th! ]

Coupled with the fact that his literary and artistic ranking entered the top ten, Li Changan's increased influence finally triggered a system settlement.

[Your influence in the world of Joy of Life has been greatly enhanced, and you will be rewarded with 10000 Red Dust Points! ]

Li Changan had already thought about the characters to be summoned and the goods to be exchanged this time.

In the past two years, the Internal Court has been keeping a close eye on him, and Hong Sixiang would occasionally stop by to take a look.

If it weren't for Zhao Gao, who was at the peak of the ninth rank, no one would even notice Hong Sixiang's spying.

Now that he has his first pot of gold, Li Changan needs someone to make money for him.

He should focus his energy on developing his abilities and practicing martial arts.

This person must have extremely high business talent and strong ability to make money, and most importantly, he must be loyal to Li Changan.

Li Changan wanted to use this person to build a business empire and accumulate money for him to support Luowang.

Intelligence and wealth are too important to a force to allow any mistakes.

So, Li Changan decided to summon one from the mall.

[Consume 5000 Red Dust Points, choose to summon Shen Wansan, Shen Wansan will come to the host at the fastest speed. ]

Shen Wansan didn't know martial arts, so the points he consumed were one thousand less than Zhao Gao.

Legend has it that Shen Wansan accumulated 2 billion taels of silver in his lifetime, making him rich enough to rival a country!
If we summon Shen Wansan now and give him two million taels of capital, he should be able to earn more than ten times the amount in seven or eight years.

Li Changan needs to exchange the remaining points for martial arts suitable for Beiming Zhenqi.

His light skill "Lingbo Weibu" will be perfected soon, and he needs to learn offensive martial arts.

It's not impossible to just rely on true Qi to hit someone, but you can't unleash the strongest power of true Qi.

The martial arts provided by the system are all adapted according to the rules of nuclear radiation and are extremely powerful!
[Consume 5000 Red Dust Points to exchange for top-level martial arts "Tianshan Zhemei Hand" and "Tianshan Liuyang Palm"! ]

The two sets of martial arts can be exchanged together. Like Lingbo Weibu, they are the most suitable martial arts for Beiming Zhenqi!
