Chapter 67: The post-war delegation comes to Kyoto.

Li An asked his disciples to carry the boxes into the room and clean up the mess in the reception room.

He comforted them and told them not to worry about him. After all, the commotion just now was not small.

"Hurry up and ask Kaijia to help and go inside to bandage it." Li An said to Wang Shisanlang.

"I lost after all. Who is this person? I originally thought that after my swordsmanship improved greatly, I would be able to rank among the top in this ninth level. I didn't expect that I would encounter such a master in my first attack!" Wang Shisanlang was unwilling to accept it. After a moment, he hesitated and said, "But why do I feel that this person's swordsmanship is so familiar?"

"Qi, of course you are familiar with him. Strictly speaking, he is your senior brother, Si Gu Jian's first disciple!" Li An ignored Wang Shisanlang's surprise. Since Si Gu Jian did not explain this to his disciples, he probably wanted to keep his brotherly relationship with Yingzi secret. "Go get him treated quickly. There is blood dripping on the ground!"

Seeing that Wang Shisanlang had no choice but to leave, he went back to his room to count the harvest.

There are several boxes here, another big deal!

While the disciples were busy, they were no longer surprised to see their teacher return to his room with a happy face. As long as an important person came to the courtyard and specifically asked to see the teacher, it was a big deal. Didn't you see that the junior brother who just moved those boxes was so tired that he stuck out his tongue? It was obvious that he didn't concentrate on his practice. He would have to practice more later!

Li An returned to his room and opened the boxes, only to find that they were not filled with gold and silver as he had imagined. Instead, half of the boxes were filled with silver and the other half were filled with swords.

"It seems that they also found out that I left behind Si Gu Jian's sword after defeating him, so they thought that I also have a hobby of collecting swords?" Li An shook his head and put all the silver into the system space, a total of 200,000 taels of silver.

Then he began to check the quality of these swords.

In fact, it’s not that Chen Pingping brought a small amount of silver, but these swords are also very valuable. That is, the system does not calculate the value of these swords. If you really sell them one by one, you can still sell them at a high price.

Ang Lee had no intention of selling this batch of swords. With a calm heart, he actually found two top-notch swords among these swords!
Looking at the two swords, one silver and one bronze, that had been separated out, he pulled out the sword box under the bed, put the two swords in it, and named them respectively: White Crane and King Kong.

With a sigh of relief, Li An nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that the sword box cannot be separated from me from now on.

By the way, the full-level Wind God Leg performed by this Grandmaster is really powerful enough to make the world pale in comparison. If I hadn't held back just now, the other party would have gone to see his parents long ago.

Li An originally wanted to sell the news that the prince was infected with syphilis to Chen Pingping at a high price. But recently, he discovered that Chen Pingping had already taken action. Fei Jie, the head of the three departments, also contacted the prince quietly through his subordinates and sent him medicine for treatment.

Li An chuckled, we really should not underestimate the heroes of the world.

As for the promise made to the prince not to disclose the matter, what was that? I couldn't remember it.

Not only that, Chen Pingping must have seen the affair between the crown prince and the princess. And Li An had reason to suspect that he was secretly fanning the flames and working hard to create the biggest scandal in the history of the royal family.

This royal family is really chaotic.

The days were peaceful for a few days. Chen Pingping returned to the Supervisory Office and after dealing with several so-called spies, there were no major moves.

At the same time, new news came from the palace: Emperor Qing granted a marriage to the second prince, and he will marry Ye Ling'er, the daughter of the Ye family, the garrison commander of Kyoto, at the end of the year.

Li An thought that Fan Xian and Li Chengze looked exactly like each other, and even got married at the same time. It was still unknown which of the two brothers was older. According to the ancient rules, the one who got married first should be older. Fan Xian was born in October, while the second prince was born at the end of the year. So Fan Xian should be older.

But Li An knew that Fan Xian's wedding in October would be a failure. Now that the Qing Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom were at war, both sides were almost fighting each other. I don't know if it was because Northern Qi was too weak or because it was caught off guard by the Qing Kingdom, but it was losing ground.

During this period of time, several cities have been captured by the Qing Kingdom.

The good news from the front line was reported back to Kyoto every day, which made the people of Qing Kingdom very excited and proud.

If the war continued at this pace, Northern Qi would not be able to hold out for long. But if Qing wanted to completely conquer Northern Qi, it would be impossible. After all, it was a great country with a long history and had obtained all the legacy of the former Wei Dynasty, so it still had some foundation. Therefore, Emperor Qing and a group of wise men mainly nibbled away at Northern Qi and consumed its national strength.

When Northern Qi could no longer bear the war and sent an envoy to Qing, Fan Xian's mission to Qi would be on the agenda. This was also the reason why he could not get married in October.

"Li Chengze, this kid, is really holding a good hand to marry Ye Ling'er." Li An sighed, "But I don't understand the situation. I thought the princess was really one of ours. Just because your face looks exactly like Fan Xian's, Li Yunrui won't be able to help you sincerely."

He had no time to care about their royal struggle. As a grandmaster, Emperor Qing could conservatively live for another 50 years or more unless there were other accidents. It was impossible for him to abdicate. No matter if he was the second prince or the crown prince, they were all just reflections in the mirror.

Li An continued to concentrate on teaching his own books, and in the meantime received an income from the bookstore, and his wealth finally exceeded 1.5 million taels.

The peaceful days lasted until the end of summer. After teaching and working in the fields during this period, Li An found that his skin color had become a little darker. Was he on the path to becoming Hei Gu?

A complete ceasefire has been reached on the front line. Northern Qi has been badly defeated and has sent an envoy to Qing State, which will arrive in Qing State's capital soon.

During this period, Li An had more contact with Fan Ruoruo in Lu Ming Academy, and Fan Ruoruo, just like in the original novel, showed his interest and talent in medicine.

Li An thought that medicine might be useful to him in the future, so he found some medical books and started to learn medicine by himself. After receiving the system's prompt, he spent more than 100,000 taels to upgrade his medical skills to the maximum level.

Not only did he teach Fan Ruoruo medical skills, he also added the subject of medicine in the academy and taught it to disciples.

At the same time, the metal smelting carried out on his own suburban farm also achieved a major breakthrough - high-quality steel was produced.

This allowed Li An to use the tools to build a set of surgical instruments for himself. Then he threw these things, along with high-quality liquor, into the system space in case of emergency.

"Teacher, teacher!" Hearing Zhao Tong'er's call outside the courtyard, Li An stopped what he was doing.

Seeing Zhao Tong'er coming up to him, Li An asked, "What happened? Why did you come here to inform us, Xiao Tong'er? What should we do if there are guests coming to the courtyard to ask fortune-telling?"

Zhao Tong'er stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, her cheeks slightly reddened from the rush all the way, and said, "I've been in the city for a long time, and I want to take a walk in the suburbs. I'm also here to visit Master. It's really not that you guys are lazy."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said that. Once he did, Li An got angry: "I'll deal with them when I get back. Tell me what happened first."

Seeing that her evil plan succeeded, Zhao Tong'er slapped her forehead and remembered the purpose of coming here: "Someone came to the palace and said that there will be a banquet to receive envoys from Northern Qi in the next few days. Among the guests is Zhuang Mohan, a great writer from Northern Qi. His Majesty asks you to be present on that day!"

Li An nodded to show that he understood.

This is Fan Xian’s time to show off!
