The road between the capital and the north was also full of dangers, Mu Ze asked the army to stop first, and he was on the horse, checking the map. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Thirty followed him, tightened the reins, looked at the snowy road in the distance, and said to Mu Ze with some concern: "Your Highness, the road is difficult to walk now, and we may have to delay for a night before we can leave." ”

In fact, Thirty was very worried, Mu Ze left the army behind and went first. Mu Ze was like an arrow, so he naturally wanted to do this, but thinking of the last time he hurried overnight, Yuan Jinyu lost his temper with himself, and thought that this time was not like last time, there were only about thirty followers, he was the commander, with an army of thousands of people, and he was also holding prisoners, so he really couldn't leave first.

So he said lightly to Thirty: "Inform the army to set up camp, rest tonight, and leave tomorrow." ”

Since Mu Ze didn't mention leaving alone, he should not have done it, and the thirty-one hearts were put back in his stomach.

But after the tent was set up, everyone had eaten dinner, and not long after resting, they heard someone knocking in the tent, saying that the prisoners of war had run away.

Mu Ze has been fighting for so many years, and he hasn't said that he has lost the prisoners of war, so he immediately sent people to chase them.

Who knew that those prisoners of war were very familiar with the terrain here, and they didn't catch up after chasing for almost three days.

By the time he finally caught someone, Mu Ze's face was already darker than the bottom of the pot. He didn't keep such prisoners of war immediately, and he killed them all with a sword.

After that, he said to Thirty, "Go and check if there are any suspicious people in the barracks." "No one has provided information, how can these people run for so many days.

Thirty just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mu Ze again: "That's it, don't check it now, let the army start immediately, let's go to the capital quickly." ”

Mu Ze was delayed for a few days, but Li Xiao had already seen the King of Chu a few days ago.

This is the first time she has come to the Chu Palace, but after all, she is a frequent visitor to the Ning Palace, and Lixiao is no stranger to entering the palace, and she is naturally not afraid.

After being led into the door, the people in the mansion first hung her for more than an hour, and then the king of Chu was late.

Li Xiao knew that King Chu wanted to give himself a dismount, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

She gave the King of Chu a salute, raised her eyes to take a look, and found that the King of Chu really looked like a dog, but for example, King Ning came, it was still a lot worse.

The King of Chu waved his hand gracefully: "The glass shopkeeper, please take a seat, you don't need to be polite with this king." Just now, there were too many things in the study, and I couldn't pull away, so please don't mind. ”

Li Xiao felt that this King of Chu was also a capable man, obviously powerful, but now he was talking to himself, but his attitude was so low.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have softened his heart a long time ago, but who is Lixiao? In the shopping mall, being soft-hearted to the enemy is cruel to himself.

So Lixiao was still detached and indifferent: "You are a prince, and the grass people should give you a salute." ”

After finishing speaking, Lixiao never sat down.

The king of Chu saw that she was standing aside in an orderly manner, but it was not easy to do it. But he thought about it, no matter what Li Xiao said, she was just a little girl, and she was a talent, and the positions of several side concubines in the house were still vacant. If you can marry her, is it equivalent to marrying the entire Yuze shop to the family?

So the king of Chu didn't rush to mention the matter of the disaster relief silver, but first invited Lixiao to walk around the mansion.

In the same way, he also chatted with Lixiao, basically a business matter.

Lixiao found that King Chu was also a very good talker, because even when talking about business, he would not pretend to understand, and even could say very unique opinions.

No wonder Yuan Xiuyu was already in love with Mu Ling at the beginning, but he still willingly married the King of Chu, this man has his own set of rules for pursuing women.

When Lixiao slipped away in the mansion for a while and was about to leave, the king of Chu also sent her to the door.

But this time, he didn't say anything to Lixiao again, but his eyes were a little reluctant.

On the second and third days, Lixiao came over, and the king of Chu talked more and more to her, intentionally or unintentionally, and mentioned that he was alone, and he didn't even have a confidant in this mansion.

On this day, they were drinking tea in the house, and the king of Chu finally talked about the matter of asking for marriage.

He stared at Lixiao, his eyes were focused and soft: "This king has never experienced what **** is before, I only feel that my father has given marriage, and the concubine should be loved by this king." But after a few years of marriage, this king found that he could hurt the concubine, but he didn't love it. Lixiao, although we have only known each other for three days, this king really feels that he is familiar with you at first sight, and everything you say is very compatible. This king knows that your father and mother are gone, and there is no one in the family who can call the shots for you, if you want, this king can find you a big family to inherit the past, so that you can marry as a concubine, although you can't become the king's concubine, but the king promises that the side concubine will still be very loved, and the concubine will not embarrass you. ”

In fact, Lixiao has been patiently grinding with him for so long, just waiting for his words.

King Chu looked at her with her head down, thinking that she was shy, and was about to make persistent efforts, but Li Xiao opened her mouth.

"Your Highness, Caomin thinks, are you thinking about something?" Lixiao raised her head, the light in her eyes was obviously not half close.

The king of Chu was slightly flustered, but then smiled: "What do you think wrong? Could it be that Lixiao thinks that it is not compatible with this king?"

Lixiao didn't nod or shake her head: "It's not a question of whether it's in tune or not, but ...... The grass folk are a man. ”

The king of Chu burst out laughing: "You are a man or a woman, can't this king tell the difference?"

Lixiao waved her hand: "It's not the body, but the grass people live as a man, even if they start a family in the future, it is to find a woman to accompany the grass people, not to restore the daughter to marry someone." After that, Li Xiao looked at King Chu with a smile: "Of course, if a handsome man like His Royal Highness the King of Chu is willing to join my family, I am still very willing." ”

"What a joke. The king of Chu was furious: "This king is a royal family!"

"Is it difficult for the royal family to ignore the king's law?" Li Xiao said with some sarcasm: "Or is it that the king of Chu disregards the wishes of the grass people and wants to rob him?"

The king of Chu looked at Li Xiao, and his eyes became fierce: "Can this king say this to understand that you have been playing with this king for the past few days?"

Li Xiao immediately shook her head, with a humble attitude: "Naturally, I don't mean that." But the grass people are the representatives elected by the Chamber of Commerce, and when they come to the Chu Palace, they are talking about business with His Royal Highness, but the grass people look at it, His Royal Highness seems to only talk about the wind and snow?"

Just like the original Yuan Jinyu, the king of Chu has been asking for it but can't get it, so he still regrets it in his heart. Now that he has encountered such a hard bone as Lixiao, the desire to conquer in his bones has risen again.

Holding back his anger, he just asked: "Then let's talk about business, disaster relief, what is the decision of your Chamber of Commerce?"

Lixiao spread her hands: "The grass people thought that the prince had already known. Everyone is human, not grass and trees, not to mention ruthless, but even if it is to save people, it must be so that we can live ourselves. In other words, we don't agree to let the court play white. If His Highness insists that we also contribute money, then we must always be given a little protection. ”

"Aren't you guaranteed now?How many things does the imperial court do for you every year, don't you have any care in your hearts?" King Chu's attitude also became cold, and thinking that he had accompanied Lixiao for the past three days, in the hearts of others, he might have regarded himself as a joke, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Lixiao blinked, looking a little like a little girl at this moment: "Please don't confuse what I said, the past was before, and now is now." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it first, what do you want?"

"Since the court has said that it is borrowed, it must be repaid, but you also know that the loan shark outside has to stake something. Let the prince bet on his hands and feet, it will definitely not work, so let's do it, you bet this palace to our shop now, if you don't pay the money within a month, how about this palace belong to our chamber of commerce?"

After Li Xiao finished speaking, King Chu's face turned pale. How can he pay it back in a month? Besides, he didn't even think about paying it back! Betting on the palace, Lixiao could figure out that if he really took the palace away because he couldn't pay back the money, he would become the laughing stock of the entire Great Zhou!

Therefore, the king of Chu was instantly annoyed and angry: "Okay, you Lixiao! This king sees that you are a heart!"

Li Xiao was not only not afraid, but provoked him: "The grass people are just telling the truth, or are you the king of Chu who said it yourself, and you don't want to admit it?"

After speaking, a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips: "No wonder you sent the documents to those big families, and they didn't even read them, so they just threw them out." Now I understand, people think that you are not trustworthy, today the grass people are here on behalf of the entire Chamber of Commerce, even if you are the prince, then you have to settle this account clearly!"
