Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

"Well, let's go and take a look." Chen Liu turned over and skipped 100,000 words.

The clouds cleared and the rain stopped. Dugu Feng rolled his eyes and felt like he was about to break down. Wei Zhenzhen was so useless. She was still asleep and couldn't help at all.

"I can't do it anymore. If my husband is not satisfied yet, go find Sister Yuyan or Sister Lianxing."

"Okay." Chen Liu felt a little disappointed. Dugu Feng's looks couldn't compare to Wang Yuyan's, and Little Bear had the same figure as her, petite and delicate. But big has its advantages, small has its charms. Dugu Feng's petite figure was also quite charming, but she couldn't hold on any longer, and Chen Liu hadn't had enough fun, so he had to go find Wang Yuyan.

After his cultivation level broke through to the Grandmaster level, Chen Liu's mental strength became much stronger. Even though he and Wang Yuyan had been busy for most of the night and he only slept for less than an hour, when he woke up the next morning to practice, he was still full of energy and did not look tired at all.

After breakfast, Chen Liu once again sent Wang Yuyan, Lianxing, Dugufeng and Wanwan to the small courtyard in Daxing City. They were going to continue shopping.

Although the system space is not large, it is not small either. If you want to build the entire space into a paradise, you need a lot of things.

After seeing off Wang Yuyan and the four girls, Lianxing, Dugufeng and Wanwan, Chen Liu thought about it and realized that he had not been out to inquire about the news outside for a long time. He did not return to the space to practice, but took Wei Zhenzhen to a very famous restaurant in Pingkangfang.

Pingkangfang is the fifth block on the third street in the eastern district of Daxing City. It borders Chongrenfang to the north, Xuanyangfang to the south, and is just one block away from the East Market. Pingkangfang's proximity to the Shangshu Province made it a gathering place for scholars, candidates for the Imperial Court, and those traveling to Beijing. Due to its advantageous location, Pingkangfang gradually developed into the largest concentration of brothels in the Tang Dynasty.

It was still the Sui Dynasty, and Pingkangfang wasn't as prosperous as it would later become. However, it already had a number of brothels and famous restaurants, making it a favorite haunt of Daxing City's scholars and dignitaries. If you wanted to get some information, Pingkangfang was the right place.

Chen Liu and Wei Zhenzhen came to a restaurant called Wulinlou in Pingkangfang. If Zhuangyuanlou was the favorite restaurant for candidates, and Denggaolou was the most frequented restaurant by officials, then Wulinlou was the restaurant with the most people from the Sui Dynasty in Daxing City.

Chen Liu asked for a table on the second floor facing the street, ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and while sipping, he used his spiritual sense to cover the restaurant and eavesdrop on the conversations of the Sui Dynasty gangsters in the restaurant.

The alcohol content of most Sui Dynasty liquors was low, generally only around 10 or 10% alcohol. There are still strong liquors available today, but the people of Sui Dynasty don't like to drink them. The scenario in many novels where the protagonist travels back to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, brews strong liquor, and the people of Sui and Tang Dynasty flock to it is impossible to happen.

Only sweet rice wine with a low alcohol content can be drunk in large quantities, without getting drunk even after a thousand cups. If you make a strong liquor with a 50-60 alcohol content, it can't be drunk in large quantities, and it's extremely spicy, so you can only sip it in small amounts. How can you enjoy it? The nomadic people in the north did like strong liquor to resist the cold, but strong liquor didn't suit the tastes of the people in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

[Shang Xiufang is quite famous. She's the talk of the town right now.]

Chapter 309 Reunion (Part )

The hottest topic in Daxing City right now is Shang Xiufang's song and dance performance at Manfanglou in Yongxingfang two nights later.

Shang Xiufang was a superstar of the Sui Dynasty. Her name was known to everyone, from high-ranking officials to ordinary peddlers. However, only high-ranking officials and martial arts masters had the opportunity to see her singing and dancing performances; ordinary people had no hope. Even wealthy merchants were ineligible for an invitation without a certain social status.

Chen Liu sat in the Wulin Tower for over half an hour. Even among the Wulin people, Shang Xiufang was the most talked about. As for other news, Chen Liu only heard one relatively useful one: Jianghuai Du Fuwei had recently adopted two adopted sons.

[Have Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling been adopted as sons by Du Fuwei again?]

In the original novel, Du Fuwei adopted Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling as his adopted sons, and Kou Zhong's title of Young Marshal was derived from this status. Although the person did not say what the names of Du Fuwei's adopted sons were, Chen Liu knew that they were most likely Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Xiaozhong and Xiaoling were adopted as Du Fuwei's sons? Upon hearing this, Wei Zhenzhen was also happy for them.

Wei Zhenzhen already knew that one of Xu Ziling's hands was cut off by Wanwan. Although she was a little sad, she did not intend to blame Chen Liu and Wanwan.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were thieves and gangsters who made a living by stealing. If he stole from Chen Liu, wouldn't it be natural for him to be beaten? It wouldn't be surprising if he was beaten to death either, as there were countless thieves and gangsters who were beaten or killed.

In the original novel, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were saved from starvation and cold by Wei Zhenzhen's help, so they considered her like a sister and a mother. However, to Wei Zhenzhen, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were just small-time hooligans struggling to make ends meet, and while she sympathized with them, her feelings for them weren't that deep.

Now Chen Liu not only rescued her from the hell of Feng Qiang's house, but also took her in as a concubine and gave her a quality life that she had never dared to imagine before. Wei Zhenzhen naturally preferred Chen Liu more.

"Let's go." After sitting for more than an hour, Chen Liu saw that he could not get any useful information, so he stood up and said to Wei Zhenzhen.

"Okay, husband." Wei Zhenzhen quickly stood up.

Chen Liu left the building and took Wei Zhenzhen out of Wulin Building, walking out along the street of Pingkangfang.

Zhuhua Pavilion, located several dozen feet away from Wulin Tower, is also a unique restaurant in Daxing City. In a private room on the third floor, Li Shimin and his sister Li Xiuning were entertaining Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao, who had come from Cihang Jingzhai.

Cihang Jingzhai is not only the leader of Buddhism in the Sui Dynasty, but also one of the holy places of the righteous path in the Sui Dynasty. It has a great influence in the martial arts world and the court of the Sui Dynasty.

With the Sui Dynasty on the verge of collapse, anyone with ambitions for world domination sought the support of Cihang Jingzhai. Gaining Cihang Jingzhai's support not only secured the support of the Buddhist community but also secured a powerful thug. Ning Daoqi, the Sui Dynasty's most renowned Heavenly Realm expert, was manipulated by Cihang Jingzhai after borrowing the Cihang Sword Canon. While this was a secret, it was widely known.

After Qin Mengyao returned to the Dita Peak, the mountain gate of Cihang Jingzhai in the Great Sui Dynasty, with Shi Feixuan, she stayed in the mountain gate for more than a month. Then, under the arrangement of Fan Qinghui, Shi Feixuan came out again to inspect the major forces in the Great Sui Dynasty and prepare for the selection of the emperor on behalf of God.

Although it was called an investigation, in fact, Cihang Jingzhai had already chosen a candidate. Sending Shi Feixuan out to investigate was just a cover-up. From Fan Qinghui's suggestion that Shi Feixuan come to Daxing to see Li Shimin, who was once praised by Ning Daoqi as "helping the world and pacifying the people", it can be seen that Cihang Jingzhai's tendency is already very obvious.

Of course, Fan Qinghui hadn't told Shi Feixuan this; she was still trying to trick her. If Shi Feixuan were still the same old Shi Feixuan, she might have been completely fooled by Fan Qinghui. However, ever since she learned from Chen Liu that the Li family would eventually replace the Sui dynasty and Li Shimin would become the ruler, she knew that this so-called "chosen emperor" was nothing more than a scam.

When Shi Feixuan came out again, Qin Mengyao would naturally follow her. It was just a pity that Fan Qinghui did not let Shi Feixuan bring out the Heshi Bi this time, saying that the time was not right yet.

When they arrived in Daxing City, Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao naturally wanted to find Chen Liu, but Chen Liu was too low-key. They had been in Daxing for two days without finding any trace of Chen Liu.

While Li Shimin was anxiously chatting with his mistress about the state of the world and worrying about the safety of the people, Qin Mengyao was dealing with Li Xiuning while wondering where Chenliu was out of boredom.

Qin Mengyao was thinking about Chen Liu when she saw him passing by the street below Zhuhua Pavilion with an unfamiliar girl out of the corner of her eye.

Qin Mengyao was suddenly surprised and stood up. Shi Feixuan and Li Shimin and Li Xiuning looked at her in surprise.

Qin Mengyao said quickly: "I saw a friend, please excuse me."

Without waiting for Shi Feixuan and Li Shimin's brother and sister to reply, Qin Mengyao jumped out of the window.

Seeing this, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but show joy on her face. Who else could make Qin Mengyao so anxious except Chen Liu?

Shi Feixuan also quickly stood up, walked to the window, looked down, and saw that Qin Mengyao had run to a man and seemed to be talking to him.

The man looked up at the window of the private room where they were and saw that handsome face. Wasn't it Chen Liu? Shi Feixuan was even more delighted and couldn't help but waved to Chen Liu below.

Chen Liu also nodded in response with a smile.

Li Shimin, who stood at the window right after Shi Feixuan, glanced at Shi Feixuan, who was smiling and looked even more radiant, and then looked at Qin Mengyao, who was smiling like a flower below, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Shimin was not a gentleman, on the contrary he was a very lustful person.

Li Shimin's harem includes one empress and fourteen concubines, all of whom are clearly documented. As for those with lesser status, there were also numerous undocumented talented women and imperial concubines. He even included his brother's wife in his harem. For example, some sources mention that Princess Chaola (the surviving wife of Li Yuanji) was also included in Li Shimin's harem, though she wasn't counted among the regular concubine statistics. Furthermore, unofficial records indicate that Empress Xiao, the "Liuwei Dihuang Pill" (presumably a product of the Chinese medicine) was also taken into Li Shimin's harem. It's worth noting that Empress Xiao was already over sixty years old when she was welcomed back by Li Shimin.

Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao were both incredibly beautiful women, rarely seen in the world. Furthermore, they cultivated the Cihang Sword Canon, exuding a ethereal, elegant aura, resembling fairies from heaven. Even though he was already married, encountering such stunning women as Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao made Li Shimin yearn for them.

Although Li Shimin had this idea, he did not dare to reveal it. After all, if the Li family wanted to dominate the world, they could not do without the support of Cihang Jingzhai.

Chapter 310 Reunion (Part )

"Sister Feixuan, who is that handsome young man?" Li Xiuning also glanced at Shi Feixuan, who couldn't hide her joy, and smiled.

Li Xiuning and Li Shimin are siblings, and they have a very good relationship. She also understands Li Shimin's character very well and knows that he has a good impression of Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao.

Li Xiuning was also happy to see this happen. If Li Shimin could marry Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao, their Li family could tie Cihang Jingzhai and Buddhism to their Li family's chariot, which would be extremely beneficial for the Li family to replace the Sui Dynasty and conquer the world.

Judging from the current situation, Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao seemed to already have someone they loved, and it was the same man. So, the chances of her brother marrying one of them, or even both, seemed slim. However, even if she couldn't form a marriage alliance with Cihang Jingzhai, she had to find out the details of the man below and assess whether he posed a threat to the Li family.

"That's Mr. Chen from the Song Dynasty. He's a friend Mengyao and I met in the Ming Dynasty." Shi Feixuan said with a smile.

Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief quietly. It was good that he was not a young master from a noble family of the Sui Dynasty. If that person was also a child of a powerful family of the Sui Dynasty, she would have to worry about whether Cihang Jingzhai would favor him because of Shi Feixuan.

"Since he is a friend of Miss Feixuan and Miss Mengyao, why not invite Mr. Chen to come up and have a seat?" Li Shimin quickly adjusted his attitude.

Li Shimin was a man of great talent and strategy. He was indeed attracted by the beauty of Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao, but he valued the country more. If he could form an alliance with Cihang Jingzhai, that would be the best. If not, he would not offend Cihang Jingzhai because of his romantic feelings and delay the cooperation between the Li family and the Buddhist sect headed by Cihang Jingzhai.

Shi Feixuan glanced at Li Shimin and Li Xiuning, brother and sister, smiled and shook her head, saying: "We are just ordinary friends."

Chen Liu's identity is too special. The most important thing is that there are not only a few of them in this world who can hear Chen Liu's voice. There are many people who can hear Chen Liu's voice. Shi Feixuan doesn't know if Li Xiuning is one of them, but in order to avoid accidents, she doesn't want Li Xiuning to contact Chen Liu, so as to let her know more future news.

Qin Mengyao also thought so, so after meeting Chen Liu, she did not take Chen Liu to see Li Shimin and Li Xiuning, but made a gesture to Shi Feixuan who was standing at the window, and pulled Chen Liu away.

"Who were those two people just now?" Although Chen Liu already had a guess, he still asked Qin Mengyao.

"Li Shimin and Li Xiuning of the Li family." Qin Mengyao said.

As expected, it's Li Shimin and Li Xiuning. Cihang Jingzhai chose Li Shimin, just as in the original novel. If we look back at history, Li Shimin was indeed a wise ruler and the right choice. However, in this world, I don't believe Cihang Jingzhai chose Li Shimin for the sake of the people. Instead, they believed that choosing Li Shimin would make it easier to control and better suit their interests.

Li Shimin was not the eldest son. Under the system of establishing the eldest son as the heir, even if the Li family took over the country, he would not be qualified to be made the crown prince. The position of crown prince must belong to Li Jiancheng.

If Li Shimin wanted to seize the throne, he would definitely need the support of Cihang Jingzhai and Buddhism. If Li Shimin relied on the support of Buddhism to kill his brother and imprison his father, then a huge stain would be left on him. If he wanted to secure his throne, he would definitely have to please Buddhism.

If Li Shimin's actions were not in the interests of Buddhism, Buddhism could just choose another emperor on behalf of heaven. After all, Li Shimin's stain could completely allow Buddhism to deify him.

It's a shame that the Buddhist sect's calculations were clever, but the Li clan and Li Shimin were no fools. If Cihang Jingzhai could use the "Cihang Sword Canon" to manipulate Ning Daoqi, they could just as easily bypass Cihang Jingzhai and contact the Taoist sect, revering the Taoist Laozi as their ancestor and siding with them. Ning Daoqi might be controlled by Cihang Jingzhai, but he was still a Taoist. Could Cihang Jingzhai still manipulate Ning Daoqi against the Li clan, who had sided with the Taoist sect?

Qin Mengyao glanced at Chen Liu and thought to herself: Fortunately, Brother Chen Liu was not allowed to meet Li Shimin and Li Xiuning. If Li Xiuning could also hear Brother Chen Liu's thoughts, then the Li family would probably know about their Cihang Jingzhai's plans and calculations.

When Chen Liu brought Wei Zhenzhen and Qin Mengyao back to the courtyard, Wang Yuyan, Lianxing, Wanwan and Dugu Feng had already returned. What surprised Chen Liu was that Zhou Zhiruo, Yue Lingshan and Qu Feiyan, who were supposed to be on Peach Blossom Island, also followed Wang Yuyan back to the courtyard.

"Husband."

"Brother Chenliu."

As soon as Zhou Zhiruo, Yue Lingshan and Qu Feiyan saw Chen Liu, they ran over excitedly. Yue Lingshan even jumped onto Chen Liu excitedly.

"Why are you here?" Chen Liu hugged Yue Lingshan, still a little dazed.

"We missed our husbands, so we came to find them." Yue Lingshan said excitedly.

"Are there just three of you? Where are the others?" Chen Liu reached out and hugged Zhou Zhiruo and asked.

"Except Sister Cheng Ying, everyone is here." Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile.

Originally, Zhou Zhiruo and Huang Rong had planned to stake out Chenliu at Shang Xiufang's ball two days later. If they couldn't find it, they would make another plan. Unexpectedly, today, they split into six teams of two or three, each led by a Xiantian master, and while wandering around Daxing City, Zhou Zhiruo, Yue Lingshan, and Qu Feiyan happened to run into Wang Yuyan, Lianxing, and the others who were there shopping. Zhou Zhiruo was naturally overjoyed, but also finally relieved. Finding Wang Yuyan also meant they had finally found Chenliu.

"Are they all here? What about Nianci, Rong'er and the others?" Chen Liu asked.

"These past few days, we've been divided into six teams. We've been searching for our husbands in Daxing City during the day, and we'll be back at the inn at night." Zhou Zhiruo said, "We've been searching for our husbands for several days. Today, Sister Lingshan, Sister Feiyan, and I ran into Sister Yuyan, Sister Lianxing, and the others in the East Market, so we came back with Sister Yuyan first."

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, my husband. Sister Feng'er has already arranged for someone to wait at the inn where Sister Zhiruo and the others are staying. When Sister Nianci and Sister Wanqing return to the inn, they will be brought here."

Chen Liu nodded. Although Zhou Zhiruo and Huang Rong had disobeyed his advice and stayed on Peach Blossom Island to cultivate, now that they were here, could he really send them back? Furthermore, Chen Liu had previously left Huang Rong, Zhou Zhiruo, and the others alone because he was worried about their safety. Now that he had a system space, he naturally no longer worried about their safety. It was fine for them to come; if they encountered any danger, he could just send them to the space.

"Husband, I heard from Sister Yuyan that you have a cave world? Take us in to have a look." Yue Lingshan was a little impatient. After telling Chen Liu about their situation, she immediately urged Chen Liu to take them into the cave world.

"Cave world?" Qin Mengyao's face showed a look of shock.

Chen Liu glanced at Qin Mengyao, feeling somewhat helpless. He originally didn't want to tell Qin Mengyao about the system space, but Yue Lingshan had already told it, so what could he do?
