Liu Hao asked several questions in a row, which stumped Liu Ran.
Especially when he asked about the spies and the Immortal Residence, Liu Ran's forehead actually broke out in cold sweat.
This was something that had never happened since he became the emperor.
Their respect was already deep in their bones.
Liu Ran smiled." Big Brother, you must be joking. How would I dare to plant people in the Immortal Viewing Residence?"”
"It's news from Yuan Country. A bunch of fools have come to Shaoliang and want to cause trouble for big brother.”
"This little brother took the initiative to solve it for big brother.”
"As for Zhao Min, there are indeed conditions. There was an internal conflict in Yuan Country and the ruler was critically ill. His father, Prince Ruyang, wanted to fight for the throne and wanted to borrow the power of Daliang.”
Liu Ran did not dare to hide anything and immediately told him everything that had happened.
The current situation in Yuan Country was somewhat similar to that of Daliang Country. However, Daliang Country was strong and powerful. Even though the internal strife was fierce, most of the army remained intact.
This also caused the other countries to not dare to invade easily.
However, Yuan Country was different. Yuan Country was small and weak. If this continued, it would be destroyed by other countries at any time.
Therefore, Yuan Country had asked Zhao Min to come to the marriage alliance this time because they wanted to rely on Daliang as a big tree to enjoy the shade.
Although Liu Ran had agreed to the marriage alliance, Yuan Country was a little disappointed by the person who had agreed. It was not Liu Ran himself, but Xian Wang.
As everyone knew, Prince Xian was just a carefree prince. Although he was the emperor's brother, he had no power or influence under him. He was inferior to the other princes.
However, since they had built a relationship, they could only take it one step at a time.
Zhao Min would arrive at Shaoliang City in a few days. At this moment, Liu Ran was already arranging the wedding.
Liu Ran had been paying attention to his elder brother's expression all this while. He only relaxed when he found that he was not angry.
Liu Hao said," Tell me, why did you call me over this time?”
"I'll make it clear in advance that I won't do anything too troublesome.”
Liu Ran walked to Liu Hao's side and sat down. He didn't look like an emperor at all." Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I'm going to send an envoy to the Tang Empire. At the same time, there's some movement in the North, so we can't touch the experts in the army."”
"That's why I wanted to borrow a few men from Big Brother to protect the envoy.”
Liu Hao looked at Liu Ran with a half-smile." The two countries don't even kill their envoys when they are at war. We have always lived in peace with the Great Tang. What is an envoy protecting? I think you have other plans."”
Liu Ran felt a little guilty." I really can't hide anything from Big Brother." Last year, when I was out on a trip, I happened to meet a woman. The two of us had a good chat, but later on, something happened and we broke off contact.”
"This little brother has been sending people to search for her, and we finally found her two days ago. She is already in the Great Tang. However, the situation was not very good. It seemed that he was trapped there.”
Liu Hao continued Liu Ran's words." So, you used an excuse to send an envoy to the Great Tang to pick him up.”
Liu Ran nodded." That's true. There were still a few masters in the army who could do this, but there was a movement in the North, so it's not convenient for the army to do it. So, I wanted to ask you for help."”
"Alright, what's the name of that woman? She must be very beautiful.”
Seeing that Liu Hao had agreed, Liu Ran heaved a sigh of relief." My surname is Cui, and my name is Ziyun.”
Liu Hao nodded." That's it? If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. Just let me know when you're leaving. I'll arrange for the people.”
"Also, don't make the marriage alliance a big deal. Just send her to my residence when the time comes. I'll handle the rest.”
"I'm going to the medicine warehouse to get a few medicinal herbs.”
Liu Ran naturally agreed to all of Liu Hao's requests.
The royal family's marriage alliance was originally a major event, but Liu Hao was a maverick and different from the rest.
After Liu Hao made a trip to the royal medicine warehouse, it was already night time when he returned to the manor.
Dong Mei had already prepared some delicious food and was waiting for Liu Hao to return.
After dinner, Liu Hao went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake as usual. This seemed to have become a habit.
Liu Hao called Qiu Ju over." Touch our people in the Great Tang and investigate a woman named Cui Ziyun."”
"Yes, Master." Qiu Ju immediately accepted the order and a few messenger pigeons flew out of Shaoliang City at night.
In Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, there was also an Immortal Residence. This was the chess piece that Liu Hao had set up there.
It was not only Chang 'an City of the Great Tang, but also the Great Ming's Yingtian Prefecture, the Great Han's Luoyang City, the Great Qin's Xianyang City, and other major capitals.
The Immortal Viewing Residence seemed to have become a symbol. Not only was the Immortal Envy Wine intoxicating, but it also seemed to be a recognition of the strength of a big country.
No one knew that Liu Hao was the owner of the Immortal Viewing Residence. Zhou Zhiruo knew, but Chun Lan had already instructed her not to tell anyone.
Liu Hao wasn't afraid of people knowing. He just felt that it would be too troublesome. He hated trouble.
There was a stone-made medicine room in Return to Sun Yard. This medicine room was a little special. There were no items to boil medicine in it, but there was a pill furnace that was half the height of a person.
In this world, be it Daoists, martial artists, or the royal family, everyone liked to refine pills.
Alchemists were known as necromancers.
The imperial family refined pills for longevity and health. Some emperors even dreamed of immortality.
On the other hand, Daoists and martial artists refined pills for the sake of cultivation.
The more famous ones were Shaolin's Small and Small Rejuvenation Pills. Not only could they be used to treat injuries, but they could also be used to increase one's strength.
For example, Wudang Sect's Triple-purity Pill, Ming Cult's Great Light Pill, Coffin Palace's Heavenly Snow Pill, and so on.
As an immortal cultivator, Liu Hao naturally knew alchemy, and his alchemy skills were far beyond the reach of those necromancers.
Liu Hao threw a few medicinal herbs into the pill furnace and sat cross-legged. He formed several hand seals.
At this moment, the Nascent Soul in his body opened its mouth and spat out a ball of invisible essence fire. The temperature of the pill furnace instantly rose, and green smoke rose.
Surprisingly, not only did the medicinal ingredients in the pill furnace not burn, but they also began to melt into liquid.
This step was called purification according to immortal cultivation. It removed the dregs of the medicinal herbs, leaving only the essence.
Just this step alone was different from those alchemists who used charcoal to refine pills.
Liu Hao used the Nascent Soul Fire, which contained extremely pure spiritual energy.
It was many times stronger than the miscellaneous fire of charcoal.
The medicinal herbs were dissolved, and after they were dissolved, Liu Hao put them away in a jade bottle.
There were a total of twenty-eight medicinal herbs, and most of them were rare items that ordinary people could not obtain. They could only be found in the imperial treasury or those aristocratic families.
"Master, you're going to refine pills again." Chun Lan walked over with a bowl of dessert.
At this moment, the sky had already lit up, and the night had passed unknowingly.
Liu Hao waved his hand, and these jade bottles automatically flew to the table and were neatly placed." Refining Furnace Breakthrough Pills."”
Chun Lan smiled." Master, you want to use the Breakthrough Pill as a betrothal gift to propose marriage to Emei, right?”
Liu Hao took the dessert and tasted it. It was delicious, sweet, and not greasy." That's right. I know Miejue's thoughts. Actually, she wants Emei to flourish and become a top sect.”
"It's just that her talent is limited and her temperament is not very good. If nothing goes wrong, she will only be a first-grade Xiantian for the rest of her life. It's impossible for her to be a grandmaster.”
"That's why I sent her to become a Grandmaster in exchange for Zhiruo's freedom.”
Chun Lan looked at Liu Hao unblinkingly." Sister Zhiruo is really lucky to be able to get Old Master's favor."”
Liu Hao glared at Chun Lan." So, Old Master has mistreated you four sisters?”
Chun Lan smiled coquettishly." Of course not. Look at what you said, Old Master. If it wasn't for Master, we four sisters would have been stranded somewhere. However, he was truly envious!”
"After Zhiruo enters the sect, you are also sisters. This will not change.”
This was exactly what Chun Lan wanted to say. Liu Hao knew what she meant, so he went along with her words.
Chun Lan was overjoyed, but she immediately knelt down." Master, this servant spoke nonsense. Please punish me."”
"Forget it. Tell them what I said and don't let them think too much about it.”
"I need to go to Heaven Mountain. I still lack a pill for the Breakthrough Pill.”
Liu Hao took a step forward and disappeared.
