Li Shi Min's face turned red.
He was the dignified King of Qin, invincible in the world! However, there were also shortcomings.
Intelligence was his weakness.
There was nothing he could do about it. He had been fighting outside all year round and had no energy to set up Chang 'an. The secret agent organization was the most energy-consuming and the most difficult to cultivate.
Even now, it was still very difficult for him to obtain information. The spy he had painstakingly nurtured was killed. He was really blind now!
Right now, his only hope of obtaining accurate information was Li Xuanqing!
Others might not know, but he knew very well that the intelligence organization, the Shadow Tower, was inextricably linked to his eldest son!
The Anying Pavilion had started during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which was when the Li Consortium had raised their army.
In a very short period of time, it became the top intelligence organization, doing the intelligence business of the whole world.
Rapid rise depended on the variety and accuracy of information!
Whether it was the Great Tang, the Turks, the Western Regions, Yingzhou, Goguryeo, the Bai Yue…
As long as there were people, there would be spies from the Shadow Tower!
It didn't matter if you wanted military intelligence or palace secrets.
As long as the price was high enough, the Shadow Tower could sell the information to you and guarantee 100% accuracy. It could be said that they had access to everything!
It was rumored that the Shadow Tower's owner, the Shadow, was an emperor realm mighty figure. No one had ever seen what he looked like, or rather…those who had seen his appearance were all dead.
This rumor was highly credible, because without an emperor realm expert to oversee it, doing business that offended people like intelligence was simply courting death!
Now, not only was the Shadow Tower not destroyed, but it was even stronger and its tentacles were even longer!
Who would believe that there wasn't a mighty figure guarding the place?
Li Shiming had destroyed the alliance of Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande in Tiger Cage Pass because he had Li Xuanqing as a bridge and bought the information of the enemy forces from the Shadow Pavilion. That was why he had dared to go all out and fight against the enemy!
After that battle, he was extremely impressed by the intelligence gathering ability of the Shadow Tower!
He couldn't see through his eldest son anymore…
Now, there were undercurrents surging in Chang 'an. As the focus of the battle for the throne, he was naturally alarmed!
Obtaining information was obstructed, so he could only ask his son for help, trying to obtain the latest information from the Shadow Pavilion to continue his plan.
"The Crown Prince and King Qi?"
Li Xuanqing nodded slightly and said,
"This is classified as a secret of the Imperial Palace, and it's also a top-notch imperial clan like the Crown Prince and King Qi. It's very difficult to obtain information on them…I'll have to pay more.”
"Is the money ready?"
Li Shi Min's face darkened.
"Do we have to talk about money first?"
He said,
"Do we have to be tainted by the stench of money between us father and son?”
He knew the price of the Shadow Tower-Black! Too dark!
After the battle at Tiger Cage Pass, buying information had almost emptied his entire family!
"You can't say that."
Li Xuanqing smiled faintly.
"Even father and son have to settle accounts clearly.”
"If you don't have money, then forget it. You know, playing the emotional card is useless here.”
"You…"
Li Shiming pointed at Li Xuanqing and almost fainted from anger!
"Eldest Young Master, you've gone too far!"
Zhangsun Wuji could not help but order,
"Filial piety is the most important of all virtues. Our Great Tang also rules the world with benevolence and filial piety! You don't look like a filial son at all. He's simply an unfilial son!"
"Look at how angry your father is!"
Li Xuanqing sneered.
"Hehe, Lord Zhangsun, if you want to talk about unfilial children, I do have some information about the son of a certain lord.”
He said calmly,
"It's not important news, so I'll give it to you for free.”
"A few days ago, Zhangsun Chong and Prince Huai's son were jealous of a courtesan in the brothel. They almost fought, but in the end, they lost to Prince Huai's son.”
"Zhangsun Chong was so angry that he cursed on the spot. It's not that I lost to you, it's that my father is not as powerful as your father! My father lost, but I didn't!"
"Tsk tsk…These words are really a filial son!”
Li Shi Min and Fang Du were stunned when they heard this. They then looked at Zhangsun Wu Ji.
There was such a thing?
The whole family was filled with filial piety…
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji's face turned ashen when he heard this. A few seconds later, it turned into the color of pig liver, and his eyes were about to spit fire!
"This! One! Reverse! Son!"
"I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!!!”
Zhangsun Wuji gritted his teeth and roared.
Li Shi Min rubbed his nose.
Compared to Zhangsun Wuji, my son doesn't seem to be so unfilial…Huh?
"Alright, I won't argue with you guys."
Li Xuanqing placed his hands behind his head and said,
"Bring enough money before you talk to me. I can't break the rules. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself to the shadow.”
If the shadow was here, he would definitely feel wronged.
Boss, I'm your subordinate! What explanation are you giving me?
He was the scapegoat!
"Young Master…you can't do this!”
Fang Xuanling said earnestly,
"Do you know that your father has reached a critical moment of life and death in the Heavenly Policy Prefecture? The Crown Prince, King Qi, and even His Majesty could attack us at any time!”
"If His Highness the King of Qin falls, your eldest son will also suffer and be killed!”
"We're in a relationship of prosperity and loss. How can we still talk about money at a time like this?”
Fang Xuanling wanted to persuade him again, but he was stopped by Li Shimin's gaze.
Li Shiming looked at Li Xuanqing silently. After a while, he said,
"…Can it be cheaper?"
"I don't have much cash left.”
Li Xuanqing smiled.
"Yes, of course!"
He said,
"What kind of relationship do we have? Besides, he was a regular customer, so he should give him a discount.”
"How about this, I have a list in my hand. Help me gather all these materials. I'll take care of all the information regarding the Crown Prince, King Qi, and even the Emperor.”
Actually, he understood what Fang Xuanling was saying.
Li Shi Min's downfall was not good for him. On the other hand, Li Shi Min was there, so he could take advantage of him.
Therefore, he had to help.
But he couldn't help her for free.
"All of them?"
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up,
"Really?"
"It's true." Li Xuanqing replied briefly.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's expressions softened upon hearing this.
Even Zhangsun Wuji, who was as angry as a sweet potato, looked better.
Information was usually bought one by one.
The word 'all-inclusive' was a great benefit to anyone!
It seemed that…the Eldest Young Master was not that cold-blooded.
"That's great!"
Li Shi Min slapped the table and smiled.
"With your words, no matter what materials you want, I'll go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire to get them for you!”
"Show me the list!"
Li Xuanqing immediately took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Li Shiming.
Li Shi Min took a deep breath and slowly opened it.
A few seconds later.
"Mystic Fire Grass, East Pole Fruit, Tianshan Vine…"
"Hiss…you want to refine pills? Who do you want to help raise their cultivation?"
"Such a large amount? Crazy!"
Li Shiming's eyes widened and he took in a few breaths of cold air!
