From eunuch to emperor

Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl gave Li Chengdao two tasks, one was to rob people and send them to the ice field; the other was to prepare the weapons needed for the battle.

The population must start from the Eastern Zhou or Xixia border, where it is closer to the ice sheet and easier to start.

As for military equipment, we have to start from Nanliang.

Although Nanliang has been destroyed, some veterans and subordinates are still there.

Li Chengdao pretended to be a herb picker and sneaked into Jinling City.

Riding an ordinary horse, hanging two baskets, and carrying some ordinary medicinal materials, walking on the streets of Jinling City, the people's business travelers are bustling, and the prosperity is even more prosperous than in the past.

Who is the emperor has no effect on the common people, they don't care at all.

The banner of the Great King was changed at the top of the city, and the common people lived their lives as before, only asking for less money and less money, more good officials and fewer dog officials.

Walking to the palace, the gate was guarded by Dazhou soldiers, and the word "Gongsun" was erected on the palace wall.

Gongsun Ming stayed behind in Jinling, and Shuaiqi wrote the name of his Gongsun family.

Looking at the palace, Li Chengdao couldn't help feeling sad.

When Jinling City was broken, they hurriedly fled to Jiangbei with the ghosts, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were ruined.

Revisiting the old place, things are people and things are not.

"I will return to this place and rebuild thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

Li Chengdao secretly gritted his teeth and vowed to come back and take back everything that belonged to him.

Riding a horse, Li Chengdao entered the medicine market and squatted in the corner pretending to sell medicine.

His medicinal materials are very common, not scarce, and he squatted down until the market dispersed in the afternoon, but he didn't sell anything.

Everyone got up and left, Li Chengdao got up after him, hung the baskets on the horse's back, and walked out of the market slowly.

Along the street, walk into a wide alley with exquisite houses on both sides.

A carriage drove out from a family, and the wheels rolled forward. The groom waved his whip and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

Li Chengdao looked up at the house, which said Liu Mansion.

The official residence of the imperial palace, this Liufu is the residence of officials.

Those who can live in this alley are high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Li Chengdao thought about it, and there is no high-ranking official surnamed Liu under him.

In other words, this Liu Mansion is a new rich man.

Li Chengdao stood against the wall, watched the carriage leave slowly, and then continued to move forward.

Stopping in his steps, Li Chengdao looked up and saw an old plaque, which read: Li's house.

This alley is full of senior officials' residences, not private residences.

Li Chengdao raised his hand and knocked on the door. It took a long time for slow footsteps to be heard inside. An old manservant opened the small door, looked at Li Chengdao wearing a bamboo hat, and asked, "What do you do? Why did you knock on our house?" door?"

Li Chengdao said in a low voice, "I sell medicine, and I specialize in treating rheumatism. Master Li has bad legs and feet, and I can cure it."

The male servant looked at Li Chengdao in surprise, and asked, "How do you know that my master has rheumatism?"

Li Chengdao chuckled: "I am a Taoist priest of Sanqing Temple in Yunqi City, if I can pinch and count, you can report it to your master."

The servant hurriedly said, "Just wait."

After closing the little door, the manservant hurried back.

The yard is very deserted. In summer, the flowers and trees grow wildly and no one takes care of them.

Running to the backyard, a silver-haired man was leaning on a deck chair, a pot of tea was placed on a stone table next to him, and a raccoon cat was chasing bugs in the shade of a tree.

The cicadas on the tree were screaming hoarsely, and the man closed his eyes, bored.

This person is the owner of Li's house, named Li Pu, who was originally a third-rank official in Nanliang.

After careful calculation, this Li Pu is a branch of the Li family.

"master..."

The male servant ran up to Li Pu carefully.

Li Puwei closed his eyes without any reaction.

"My lord, there is a priest outside the door who said he can cure my lord's rheumatism."

The footman spoke carefully.

After the fall of Nanliang, Li Pu was in a bad mood, closed his house, refused all guests, and his family also lived in seclusion.

Li Pu slightly opened his eyes and said, "Please come in."

Maybe the rheumatism is really uncomfortable, or maybe it's been too long in the yard, but Li Pu actually agreed to see someone today.

The male servant rushed to the door, opened the small door, and said, "Please come in, Taoist priest."

Li Chengdao led the horse into Li's house. The yard was clearly tidied up, but it gave people a messy feeling.

The servant tied up Li Chengdao's horse and led Li Chengdao into the backyard. Li Pu was still lying on the chair, looking like he was waiting to die.

"Master, the Taoist priest is here."

Li Pu got up slightly, and the servant hurriedly helped him up.

"Where is the Taoist?"

Li Pu looked up at Li Chengdao, through the bamboo hat, Li Pu couldn't recognize Li Chengdao's face.

Li Chengdao's temperament has also completely changed at this time, it is no longer an emperor's air, but a feeling of sinister and prey.

Therefore, Li Pu failed to discover Li Chengdao's identity.

"Three Purities View of Yunqi City."

Li Chengdao said with a smile.

"Oh, Yunqi City, it's so far away."

Li Pu asked Li Chengdao to sit down on the stone bench, and signaled the servant to come over and make a new pot of tea.

The servant excitedly went down to make tea. Li Pu hadn't talked to anyone over tea for a long time.

Li Chengdao sat down, there was no one else in the yard, Li Pu saw that Li Chengdao was still wearing a bamboo hat, and asked with a smile: "Why is the Taoist priest still wearing a bamboo hat? Could it be that the fairy face can't be shown to ordinary people?"

Li Chengdao smiled, and slowly took off his bamboo hat, revealing his true face...

"emperor!"

Seeing the real face, Li Pu jumped up in shock.

Li Chengdao put on the bamboo hat again, and said, "Ai Qing, sit down and talk, and keep quiet."

Li Pu sat down tremblingly again, stood up again, walked to the side, knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chengdao: "My humble minister, Li Pu, pay homage to the emperor."

Li Chengdao helped Li Pu up and said, "Sit down and talk, don't be discovered."

Li Pu then got up and sat on the side seat.

He is a courtier and dare not sit opposite Li Chengdao.

"I didn't expect to see the emperor again alive, my humble minister..."

Before Li Pu finished speaking, he was already in tears.

Li Chengdao sighed slightly: "I am incompetent and immoral. I have become a king of subjugation, and I have failed all my lovers."

Li Pu shook his head and said with tears in his eyes, "It was the rebel Long Chen who made trouble and lured the ghost clan to invade, and broke Jinling."

"I thought that Daliang was dead. Seeing you today, there is hope for Daliang to recover."

Li Pu spoke affectionately, and Li Chengdao was quite moved.

Li Chengdao had no kindness to his courtiers before. After experiencing the pain of subjugation, Li Chengdao was really touched when he saw his loyal ministers again.

The servant came in with a basket, and Li Pu was worried about being exposed, so he immediately scolded: "Put it on the ground, get out, and no one is allowed to come in!"

The manservant was stunned for a moment, and immediately put the things on the ground carefully, and then exited the yard.

Li Pu walked over, picked up the basket on the ground, carefully placed it on the table, and said: "I make tea."

Light the stove, boil the water, pour out the tea leaves, brew a pot of tea, and carefully pour a cup of tea.

"There is no good tea in this minister's house, the emperor forgives me."

Li Chengdao picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Aftertaste of the familiar feeling, Li Chengdao sighed softly: "It is the tea from Jinling Yushan."

Li Pu replied: "The emperor is wise, it is the new tea from Yushan."

After drinking the tea in the cup, Li Chengdao took off the bamboo hat, and Li Pu took it and put it away carefully.

"I'm here today, I have something to do for you."

Li Pu immediately bowed and said: "The emperor's order, I must do it well."

Li Pu didn't know what Li Chengdao wanted to do, it didn't matter, no matter what, as long as Li Chengdao ordered, he would die.
