After Yan Zhuang came back, he said to Li Hong happily, "Your Highness, Ajige and the other two are very satisfied with the dog Zhang Shun wants, but in this case, we can still sell thirteen dogs for a price of one million yuan. This dog fighting competition was not in vain and we made a lot of money."

Yan Zhuang is in charge of the treasury and money and grain expenditures of the East Palace. If the East Palace has no money, he will be the one who is most worried about it. Therefore, if the East Palace makes money, he is the one who is most happy in his heart.

"It's good to sell three pieces. You want to sell more than ten pieces. It's really greedy." Li Hong cursed with a smile, but he was a little expectant. If he could really sell more than ten pieces of dogs, the money he needed for his development in the past few years can be completely solved, so he no longer has to worry about money.

"However, Zhang Shun made great contributions to selling three dogs this time, and he could not lose a single reward." Li Hong said.

"I have already rewarded him with a thousand guan." Yan Zhuang replied.

"It's too little, give him another ten thousand yuan." Li Hong shook his head and said, "Zhang Shun is a talented person. He can be of great use, and he can't be wronged."

For Li Hong, money is just a number, and he does not lack money to spend. Talent is the most important thing. Therefore, for the sake of talent, he thinks that spending as much as possible. In fact, with Zhang Shun's contribution, it is nothing wrong to give him 100,000 guan. However, this will break the reward system of the East Palace and will be detrimental to Li Hong's future rewards, so he can only reward Zhang Shun with 10,000 guan.

In fact, Li Hong thought too much, because in Zhang Shun's heart, he could stay in the Eastern Palace. In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne and became emperor, and he could get a half-time position. This is his purpose. Therefore, for him now, it doesn't matter how much Li Hong rewards. Zhang Shun is not stupid. What he wants is not immediate interests, but long-term interests. Otherwise, with his eyes on dogs and the popularity of fighting dogs in Chang'an City, he wants to make money and sell dogs to rich people...

Just as Yan Zhuang was talking to Li Hong, he heard the guards report that Yuchi Xunyan and Zhou Xing came together to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Hong was shocked. The two of them came together. Did something big happen? He hurriedly asked the guards to take the two to the study.

For the current Yulin Guard, who has the greatest power, besides Yuchi Xunyan, it is Zhou Xing, who is in charge of the imperial prison, because Zhou Xing also also holds the power of Yulin Guard to enforce the law.

Yuchi Xunyan and Zhou Xing walked into the study and were about to salute Li Hong, but Li Hong stopped them and said, "Let's talk about serious matters."

"No." Yuchi Xunyan and Zhou Xing took the order and sat on the chair in front of Li Hong. Then they looked at each other, and Yuchi Xunyan said, "Your Highness, we have discovered Liu Ju's people, they are hiding in the Dazhuangyan Temple. Will you take action tonight?"

"Liu Ju's person?" Li Hong was a little confused.

"It's the one who assassinated Your Highness last time." Yuchi Xunyan said, "On the last time they assassinated Your Highness, only half of them were dispatched, and now half of them are hiding in Dazhuangyan Temple."

"I didn't expect that it was them who really hid Yanshi, and they would hide in Dazhuangyan Temple." Li Hong said fiercely, "How did you find out?"

"It was me who interrogated the General of the Jinwu Guard and obtained clues from him, handed over the clues to General Yuchi, and General Yuchi found their traces." Zhou Xing said.

"Which Jinwu General?" Li Hong asked in confusion.

"It is Xu Zhang, the General of the Jinwu Guard who arrived at the scene with the Chang'an yamen runners when His Highness was assassinated." Yuchi Xunyan said.

"How could he be in the Jinwu Guard?" Li Hong asked coldly. He had warned Li Ji to severely punish Xu Zhang, but he did not expect that Li Ji would violate the rules and leave Xu Zhang in the Jinwu Guard.

"He has been demoted to a soldier, which gives us a chance, otherwise we can't do anything about him." Yuchi Xunyan smiled. He served as the leader of the Yulin Guard and had never made any achievements. In fact, he was also very anxious and felt sorry for His Highness the Prince's expectations for him. Therefore, the first task he chose for himself was to find out the hiding place of the murderer who assassinated the Prince. Today, he finally found out, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"How many of them are there?" Li Hong asked, "Have you found out that you have found their hiding place?"

"There are about sixty people." Yuchi Xunyan said, "We found their hiding place and came to find His Highness. I guess it has not been discovered yet."

"How many people can Yulin Guard mobilize?" Li Hong asked. This is his own killing of the enemy. He will not let it go, but will only kill all the people.

"It can call about two hundred people." Yuchi Xunyan replied.

"Yan Zhuang, let Chen Gong count three hundred guards, I will go to seize the thief tonight." Li Hong said.

"No!" Yan Zhuang took the order and bowed and left. Because he felt that there were only sixty people on the other side and five hundred on his side, Li Hong's safety could definitely be guaranteed, so he did not dissuade Li Hong.

When Yuchi Xunyan and Zhou Xing heard Li Hong say this, the blood in their bodies boiled because it means they can make contributions tonight.

"You guys go back and prepare. We will meet in Yongyangfang tonight at the Xu hour." Li Hong said.

"No!" Yuchi Xunyan and Zhou Xing took the order and stood up and left.

"Zhou Xing." Just as Zhou Xing stepped out of the threshold of the study room, Li Hong suddenly called him and said, "You don't want to go tonight."

"Why?" Zhou Xing asked in confusion.

"Don't let your sister worry about you." Li Hong said lightly. Although he was very light, it was a huge news in Yuchi Xun's ears, which shows that Zhou Xing's foundation is very strong. No wonder he was put in the most terrifying imperial prison of the Yulin Guard, and Zhou Xing also served as the Yulin Guard's criminal law.

When Zhou Xing heard Li Hong say this, he was reluctant.

Seeing this, Li Hong said in a stern tone, "People who go tonight can do martial arts, such as Yuchi Xunyan, whose martial arts skills are not low, and Yan Zhuang and Gu can do it. You are the only scholar who knows martial arts skills. What did you say you did when you went there?"

"No!" Zhou Xing did not dare to disobey Li Hong's intentions, so he could only bow and agree.

The two left the study and left the East Palace. Yuchi Xunyan asked Zhou Xing, "Are you very familiar with Your Highness?"

His original intention was to ask your sister if she is very familiar with His Highness? But when he thought about it, was it a bit abrupt? He then changed his words and asked this.

"Our family runs a noodle restaurant. In the past, His Highness came to our noodle restaurant for dinner and became familiar with each other after a while." Zhou Xing replied shyly. He concealed the feelings between his sister Zhou Juan and Li Hong, but he really couldn't say it. Because this is his sister's business, how could he say it casually?

Yuchi Xunyan did not continue to ask Zhou Xing, but instead shifted the topic to Yu Linwei, "You know what Yu Linwei does now, right?"

Zhou Xing nodded slightly.

"Since you know, you should know what your Highness is trying to place you in the Yulin Guard. You will be in danger every moment in the Yulin Guard, so you should learn some self-defense skills in the future." Yuchi Xunyan said.

"I want to learn, but who do you want to ask for advice?" Zhou Xing asked. The prince said just now that he didn't understand martial arts, he had already made up his mind to learn martial arts.

"Learn from Qin Zhan. Qin Zhan is very skilled in martial arts, so it will be fine to let him teach him." Yuchi Xunyan said. Zhou Xing nodded slightly, and then he didn't know what Yuchi Xunyan said. The two of them laughed loudly and left with a giggle...

At night, it rained in Chang'an City. The spring rain was as thin as cow's hair, and it kept falling down. Therefore, as soon as the night came, there were fewer pedestrians on Chang'an Street. Li Hong personally led 300 guards to leave the East Palace with Yanzhuang and Chen Gong and hurried to Yongyangfang. Outside Yongyangfang, Yuchi Xunyan and Qin Zhan had long led the 200 Yulinwei to be on the battlefield.

Seeing the prince's horse team, Yuchi Xunyan and Qin Zhan hurriedly walked up to him to salute.

"How did you arrange it?" Li Hong asked.

"I have surrounded Dazhuangyan Temple, and I will wait for His Highness to give the order." Qin Zhan said, he was the commander of the battle tonight.

"Chen Gong, you lead a hundred people to support them at any time." Li Hong ordered Chen Gong. Seeing that Chen Gong was hesitant, he said, "Don't worry, there are two hundred guards guarding me around me, and nothing will go wrong."

"No!" Chen Gong took the order and left with one hundred guards, Yuchi Xunyan and Qin Zhan.

At this time, Li Hong led 200 guards to climb the hillside behind Dazhuangyan Temple step by step. From a high place, he could see everything around Dazhuangyan Temple.

The bright lights of Dazhuangyan Temple in the night are a strange thing in Chang'an City. It can be seen that Dazhuangyan Temple is rich, otherwise the money for the lamp and oil every night will be a considerable expense.

Accompanied by drizzle, the sound of chanting scriptures came from Dazhuangyan Temple, making Dazhuangyan Temple look solemn...

When Li Hong heard the Buddhist scriptures, he couldn't help but sneer. If he hadn't discovered Liu Ju's rebel today, he would have been hiding in Dazhuangyan Temple, and others would have thought that Dazhuangyan Temple was a temple. Now it seems that Dazhuangyan Temple is not only a temple, but also an important secret stronghold for the traitor Liu Ju in Chang'an City.

Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism in India has been favored by emperors of all dynasties. Not to mention that Emperor Wu of Liang became a monk several times, but Empress Dugu of the Great Sui Dynasty was also very loyal to Buddhism, which led to the Dazhuangyan Temple today. But who knows that Buddhist temples used the favor of emperors of all dynasties to them, and they don’t know how much wealth and ointment they have plundered and occupied a lot of land...

Therefore, Li Hong had no good feelings for several temples in Chang'an City, so he told Quan Yanghu that he would send many eminent monks to Fusang to promote Buddhism. He did this before, to reduce the fortune of Empress Wu. Now that he had the Dazhuangyan Temple hiding Liu Ju's rebels, he was even more determined to send these monks to Fusang. He knew that destroying the Buddhist temple and killing monks would affect his reputation, but sending these people to Fusang and letting them go to Fusang to promote Buddhism is equivalent to exiling these people in disguise. In this way, no one will say anything about him anymore! (To be continued)
