There are some spices lit in the curtain, and a faint fragrance comes to your nose, which is definitely no less than the plum blossoms in the garden.

Li Tengkong, dressed in a girl, looked at Ye Chang and smiled sweetly, like a faint orchid, although he had no beauty, he was so charming.

"It's...you." Ye Chang naturally recognized her.

The two of them met five or six times. Just when Wei Liang came to Xiangxuehai to make trouble, Ye Chang also saw Li Tengkong come to have tea. The fight outside was messy, but she was calm.

"Slave's small letters are flying in the air." Li Tengkong stood up and saluted Ye Chang.

"Tengkong...Li Tengkong, ah, you are the girl from Li Xianggong's house." Ye Chang almost jumped up.

Ye Chang has made many speculations about the identity of this girl, and even guessed that she might be a noble master in the palace, but she never expected that she was Li Tengkong and Li Linfu's daughter.

Because he was familiar with the Tang poetry, Ye Chang knew that Li Bai had written two poems to Li Tengkong and Cai Xunzhen, but that should have been a matter of later. Li Tengkong and Cai Xunzhi went to seek immortality and lived in seclusion in Mount Lu. At that time, he was very moved that Li Linfu was powerful and had a sweet-hearted voice, and raised a daughter but devoted himself to practicing Taoism and accumulating virtue.

"Have you heard of me?" Li Tengkong's cheeks were slightly red. However, she was everyone's daughter after all, and she was open-minded by nature and did not dare to speak like a child.

"I heard... it was you"

At this point, Ye Chang still didn't understand some of the letters to Huangfu Weiming. Although Li Linfu planned to plot against him, he did not harm him in the end. The reason was this.

"I want to apologize to my husband first. After parting in Luoyang, I was grateful to my husband for helping me. I also learned that my husband was going to work for the country in front of the army, so I wrote a letter to Huangfu Weiming in his name. I never thought that Huangfu Weiming actually had a bad intention. Fortunately, my husband was lucky and came back safely. Otherwise, Huangfu Weiming would not be able to redeem his sins even if he died a hundred times."

When talking about this, Li Tengkong was still angry.

Ye Chang was speechless, Li Tengkong was full of kindness. He could not blame the other party, but this kindness did cause him great trouble. He admitted without saying a word, which seemed a bit too cheap.

At this time, Ye Chang just thought that Li Tengkong was helping him out of gratitude. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and then clasped his fists and said, "What Madam Li did really caused some trouble for me, but since it has passed and I am safe, let this matter go."

Thinking of Huangfu Weiming, Ye Chang asked again: "I haven't gone out these days and have no information. I don't know what the situation of Huangfu Weiming?"

A blush appeared on Li Tengkong's face again. She naturally knew why Ye Chang didn't go out. It was because the person sent by her father was watching him closely and there was no chance to go out.

"This incident has been over, Huangfu Weiming is dead." Li Tengkong said.

The storm caused by Ye Chang finally subsided. After some struggle and bargaining, things were concluded. Wei Jian was a relative of the prince, but he had privately formed a border general, and had a ill-intentioned plan. He was exiled to Lingnan and his family's capital was confiscated. Huangfu Weiming, a border general, made a prince's relative, was greedy for merit and good deeds, framed his colleagues, confiscated his family's capital, and was sentenced to death in prison. Because Wang Zhongsi was not guilty of his crime, he only made friends with bandits and was imprisoned for his crimes. Later, he was rescued and demoted to the prefect of Bochuan.

An Sishun, the governor of Hexi, replaced Huangfu Weiming as the governor of Longyou, and Wang under Huangfu Weiming was rarely appointed as the governor of Shuofang.

Wei Liang also died in prison, and dozens of officials were implicated. Even Prince Li Heng asked for his wife to divorce Wei Jian's sister, Concubine Wei.

It is naturally Ji Wen's contribution to the fact that such a prison can be settled so quickly. But in addition to the fact that the case is spread, Ye Chang and Ye Shiyi's reputation has also resounded in Chang'an again because of this case. In the eyes of those who do not know the inside, it was the battle for "Xiangxuehai" that triggered this shocking case.

Especially the death of Huangfu Weiming, the sentence of the corrupt official’s crimes and the crime of being raped is also related to Ye Chang. Therefore, there is a saying in the capital that “a small ant chews two elephants to death”.

Li Tengkong told Huangfu Weiming and others that he had come to the scene. Of course, she didn't say anything about the little ant. Even so, Ye Chang was still stunned, and he didn't expect that such a result would be.

Originally, he thought that Huangfu Weiming was demoted to a remote village to become the prefect, which was his worst result, but he never thought that Huangfu Weiming actually lost his life directly. Although Wei Jian survived, with Li Linfu's methods of treating Huangfu Weiming, it was probably impossible for him to come back from Lingnan alive.

Wang Zhongsi won't be much better if he ends up.

The bloody storm under the prosperity of Chang'an made Ye Chang realize again that such a vortex would be doomed if he took a wrong step.

In such a vortex, he didn't even have the power to protect himself, let alone participate.

"I invite Mr. Ye to come today, because I have something to ask about."

Ye Chang was thinking about something in his heart, so he naturally looked at Li Tengkong blankly. Li Tengkong was generous. Although he was pink, he did not avoid it and said softly.

"Ah...oh, please say, madam."

"Are there really a god in this world? Ye Langjun, have you... ever met a true immortal?"

Ye Chang was stunned again. He didn't expect that Li Tengkong would ask such a question.

Looking at the girl in front of her, her eyes were a little confused, as if she had lost her goal in her life, and she seemed to have reached a fork in the road, not knowing how to choose the direction.

In another life, Li Tengkong and Cai Xunzhen left the prosperous Chang'an, traveled far away to Jiangnan, visited the Taoist temple in Lushan Xianzhen, and lived in seclusion here since then. If one of the daughters of the prime minister and the daughter of the ministers, how could he have gone to that point if he hadn't been in a lot of trouble in his heart?

"Miss Li, the word "Immortal" is a human mountain. He is first a human being, and then an immortal." Ye Chang responded vaguely.

Li Tengkong's eyes gathered, but just stared at Ye Chang, but didn't say anything. Ye Chang was a little embarrassed, and then said, "Okay, Miss Li, as the daughter of the prime minister, you are second only to the noble master. Why do you want to ask for immortality?"

Li Tengkong was a little hesitant when he heard this question.

Why did she want to seek immortality?

Since I was a child, I have known my father’s reputation as a child. I know that my father is diligent, but he intentionally or unintentionally offended countless people and committed countless evils, hoping to eliminate disasters and eliminate evils for his father.

Is it because I see the pain of separation and separation of people from birth, old age, sickness, death, and separation, and I want to transcend these pains as humans, so I want to find the way to see forever?

"Miss Li, although my words just now were casual, they were also sincere. If you can't even be a human being, seeking immortality is just a matter of seeking fish from a tree."

Ye Chang's sentence made Li Tengkong smile: "You almost walked around. Ye Langjun, you only responded to slaves, are there immortals, how can you see immortals?"

"I don't know if there are immortals. I only know that if people do it to the extreme, they can be called immortals. Why is Li Taibai called an exiled immortal? The way of poetry has reached the extreme. If everyone does everything to the extreme, then naturally everyone is an immortal."

"That means, is Qi Refining and Pill... fake?"

"This...I don't know."

Ye Chang was shocked when he saw Li Tengkong seemingly losing his pursuit of life. Although he wanted to wake up the girl's fairy path, if she was discouraged and desperate, Li Linfu, who felt sorry for her daughter, still didn't know what kind of thing he would do.

Thinking of the possible consequences that stimulated Li Linfu, Ye Chang immediately changed his words.

"You know you are lying." Li Tengkong looked at him and said softly.

"This...why do you think I know?"

"I also know that you have someone build a ship by the Yellow River, intending to visit the fairy mountains on the sea and find the real Penglai fairy island."

Ye Chang was speechless. Looking for the fairy mountain on the sea was an excuse he was looking for to build a sea boat. Now, it has become evidence of his lying and deceiving people. He did lie, but looking for immortals is the real lie.

However, there is no big difference between lies and truth.

"Uh, I'm just trying..."

"But you didn't try the ship you built. I've heard that the ship you built is a sea ship, with different styles from other ships, and they are extremely strong."

"this……"

"My father said that the ship had been made, but you were secretly informed and I don't know what the reason is."

"ah"

Ye Chang was speechless. You said that Li Linfu, the prime minister of a country, was busy with all kinds of things every day, and no matter how important national affairs, why did he keep staring at his small name-named military service?

The shipbuilding workshop in Wuzhi was started in the first year of Tianbao. About one-third of Ye Chang's time spent in Wuzhi, so you can see Ye Chang paying attention to it.

From the initial repair of the ships to the construction of ships by herself, especially in the second year of Tianbao, when she reached an agreement with Princess Yuzhen, and with the help of her, the shipbuilding workshop developed very rapidly. Of course, her ability to swallow money was also very rapid. It has only been only three years, and Ye Chang spent 100,000 guan. A large amount of copper coins were scattered, and Ye Chang's tips were given, even a carpenter like Ye Jia, who lacked talent, could always come up with some results.

Just before the New Year, they heard good news that two sample ships for testing had been built.

Rather than saying it is a model for the sea ship in the future. The ship was 45 feet long, ten feet wide, four feet empty in water, and ten feet above the water surface. It used the stern rudder, water-tight cabin and tumble sail that had already appeared in the Tang Dynasty shipbuilding skills at this time, and there were also stalks and wood (swinging keels) and other skills that had not appeared at this time. This ship was made using the keel shipbuilding method, and was connected by iron nails and iron turrets. Therefore, it not only has a fast shipbuilding speed, but also has a solid structure, but also far better than other ships.

"Why don't your husband speak?"

"I never thought that Madam Li knew even these things... It is true that she built two ships, but it is still unknown whether they are useful. After some time, she would have to take these two ships down the river and sail across the sea."

"Let's go find the fairy mountain now?" Li Tengkong said in surprise.

She suddenly felt that her heart suddenly tugged, as if she was being grabbed by an invisible hand, making her almost unable to penetrate.

It is said that there are fairy mountains overseas, but from ancient times to the present, who has really seen fairy mountains? On the contrary, Cao Mengde said that the sea was "rivering waves" and countless people's lives were thrown into this endless ocean.

Ye Chang laughed and said, "Of course not. First try the voyage. After the voyage, you must also hone the sailors, be familiar with the wind direction, and then gradually explore and explore the fairy mountains in the sea."

After hearing what he said, Li Tengkong felt a little relieved and was at the same time he was leisurely and fascinated.

"I really hope to be like Ye Langjun, crossing the sea and visiting the fairyland." She looked at Ye Chang and sighed slightly: "Hate is not a man."

Ye Chang didn't dare to answer this. If he said, "Then let's go together", he really kidnapped her. When Li Linfu got angry, he would be miserable. He smiled but didn't say anything, Li Tengkong was a little disappointed. He slowly lowered his head, stood up and bowed to Ye Chang again: "It's not good to talk about this."

"Um?"

"My father is afraid that he misunderstood and thinks he is a slave..." Li Tengkong looked at Ye Chang with a blushing face, and said vaguely: "So, I will leave my husband in Chang'an City. I have already told my father today that my husband wants to leave Chang'an, just leave."

Ye Chang almost jumped up again. Although Li Tengkong said it vaguely, Ye Chang didn't understand the meaning.

Li Linfu wants to recruit him as his son-in-law

If it were Lu Qi or Yuan Zai, he would definitely be happy and extremely positive, but Ye Chang was not. Li Linfu's aura was too strong, even more than the pressure Li Longji put on Ye Chang. In this case, he could not hide far away, let alone run to be a half-child for him.

Moreover, as soon as Li Linfu died, his family was over. His political enemies retaliated against the Li family without hesitation. Ye Chang did not want to be the target of such revenge.

"Then thank you Miss Li for telling him about it." Ye Chang's heart started to stir up a huge wave, but his face was silent, and he also stood up and saluted.

They looked at Ye Chang and bit their lips gently: "The husband has a bit of a father-like appearance."

"Ah, thank you for the praise." Ye Chang said in a daze.

"Everyone says that my father has honey in his mouth and a belly..."

Speaking of this, Li Tengkong kept silent. As a daughter, of course he could not say anything else ridiculed her father.

This kind of evaluation actually reached Li Tengkong's ears. Perhaps she was dedicated to the truth, so there was a reason for this. Who knows if the person who is willing to marry her is for the power of her father? But if the power of her family dissipates, what kind of face will that person treat her?

"No matter how others evaluate this, in a certain opinion, the peace inside and outside the Tang Dynasty over the past ten years has been difficult to support the country, and most of this is due to Li Xianggong."

Ye Chang said this and added: "When I met Mr. Li that day, I said this in person.

Li Tengkong was silent, saluted Ye Chang again, and then whispered: "Goodbye."

She left without any rush, and she still had a smile on Ye Chang's face, but at that moment, a cloud of darkness rose in her eyes.

Li Linfu is not that simple, just because his daughter has a good impression of him, she left him in Chang'an City.

How could Li Linfu's plan change because of Li Tengkong's plea? He let Ye Chang go now, I'm afraid he will say one thing: put on a long line and catch a big fish.
