Chapter 34: Nan Xue's Assassination
The morning sun lazily rose from the horizon, tore open the red glow that spread across the sky, and covered countless yurts, and the people who had not slept all night were now in their places, waiting for the grand moment when the bride and groom stepped out of the yurt in the palace tent.

In a dilapidated yurt room in the distance, Li Wan had finished dressing up and put on the most solemn splendid robe, although there were not many ornaments, but they were all exquisite and elegant.
Li Wan looked at a few lines of delicate handwriting in her hand, according to the medicine used in this prescription, so that her body not only recovered quickly, but also sobered up a lot, she thought in her heart, the salt market of the Song Dynasty, the eyeliner of the Jin State, and the Liao State now got the financial power, such a huge network, she stood at the core of the point, her body was declining day by day, her heart was more than enough and her strength was insufficient, she had always wanted to cultivate Mo Xia to replace herself, but she must be a subordinate person, her strategy was acceptable, and her mind was not deep enough in the long run, so she should find someone to replace her. Help Lang'er return to the Song Kingdom and reclaim everything that should belong to him.
Li Wan stared at Mu Xi's prescription with both eyes, and her tough and calm face like a snow lotus could not be erased in her mind for a long time.
"Wan'er, you have to smile a little, otherwise it will be rude for the princess to salute in a while." Qingyuan helped Li Wan to sit on the chair and kept comforting.
"What's going on in the slave camps?" Li Wan asked quietly.
"It's already arranged, don't worry." Qingyuan lowered his voice in response.
"Did she say how long this recipe would last?" Li Wan cherished the prescription into her arms.
"I didn't have time to go into details, I'll ask another day." Qingyuan replied in response.
"Another day, when things are calm, the arrangement continues, and I will go to see her in person."
While the two were talking, a woman suddenly walked in from outside the door, dressed in a short robe and robe, "Madam! ”
"Moxia! You're finally back. Li Wan excitedly took Mo Xia's hand and kept looking up and down.
"Madame, how is your health? Looks so much better! "Mo Xia, Li Wan's maid, has followed Li Wan out of the palace to escape for her life, and under the training and training of her master, she has become a good hand at managing accounts and planning operations.
"Lang'er got a miracle doctor from the Song Kingdom, so I can live to this day, it's a long story, your plan must have succeeded, tell me the details." Li Wan didn't have time to talk about herself, and asked Mo Xia more urgently.
"Yes, madam, the Jin State has already sent the 'Gege Xiecha' general to the border of the Liao State five days ago, my horse is slow and long, and I only came back today, but the battle report from the front should have arrived in the Liao State long ago." Mo Xia replied in a low voice.
"That's good, Yelu Khan must have already received the news of the Jin State's troops, if it weren't for Ba Wanglang'er to go out to fight the enemy, I think Yelu Khan would definitely not let us go easily this time." Li Wan's heart was much more stable.
"Yes, Wan'er is still thoughtful, since the last time Jin Guo killed the two generals of the Liao State, now only Lang'er can go on the expedition." Qingyuan nodded in response.
"But madam, Emperor Wanyan is much more difficult than Yelu Khan, and it is easy to ask God to send God, but I am afraid that Na Gege Xiecha will not stop in time according to the agreement with us this time, at that time, what if he hurts Lang Gongzi?" Mo Xia said nervously.
"Yelu Khan loves money and is easy to deal with, but what Emperor Wanyan wants is power and territory, which is really difficult to deal with, but only in this way can he help Lang'er get the real power of Liao." Li Wan leaned back slightly, sitting for a long time, still feeling tired.
"There is no way, the current Song Dynasty emphasizes literature over military force, and in terms of military strength, it really won't attract the attention of the Liao State." Qingyuan added a piece of clothing to Li Wan in a timely manner, and said helplessly.
"What special conditions does Emperor Wanyan of the Jin Kingdom have?" Li Wan looked at Mo Xia questioningly.
"Yes, it was said by Mrs. again, Emperor Wanyan urgently needs a batch of medicinal materials, what kind of immortal medicine did the emperor of the Song Dynasty refine recently, and the precious medicinal materials that were popular on the market were all requisitioned by the imperial court, cutting off the main source of medicinal materials in the Jin Kingdom." Mo Xia told the story.
"Is there a way for Qingyuan to find a way to get the medicinal herbs?" Li Wan immediately asked.
"This is not what we are good at, interlaced like a mountain, if it is an emergency for three or five people, there is a way, if a large number of goods are supplied, I am afraid that the water is deep, I can't figure out the way, but will be implicated." Qingyuan's expression was solemn, and he responded thoughtfully.
"We have one of the insiders who deal in medicinal materials, but I'm afraid she won't help." Li Wan said meaningfully.
"Miss Yan? We hurt her too deeply, I'm afraid it's hard to put our hearts in our hearts, this matter is not trivial, once the news leaks, it is running in the sea of swords and fire. Qingyuan was worried.
"She won't help us, but, perhaps, she can help Lang'er." Li Wan began to have a preliminary plan in her heart.
"Today is Lang'er's wedding celebration, you forced him to marry Princess Taiping, and now I'm afraid that even Lang'er won't be close to us." Qingyuan said sadly, looking out the door.
"Mo Xia, go get my jade bracelet, the princess should be almost there."
"Yes, madam" Mo Xia responded and took a small box with gold rim and handed it to Li Wan.
"My son, unhappy, reluctant, mother, how can he be happy, but whoever asks him to bear a heavy responsibility, he should not be entangled in the personal affairs of his children, to achieve great things, what is needed is forbearance and planning!" Li Wan paused word by word, said fiercely, and put the box beside her.
Gradually, a group of carriages and horses walked towards the yurt, and in the procession, from a distance, I saw Yu Lang with a red feather on his head, wearing a red robe, with a sword at his waist, and his head on horseback.
According to the number of rites, Yu Lang and the princess knelt down one by one, Li Wan sat down in the middle hall calmly and dignifiedly, took the box, took out a jade bracelet, and pulled Princess Taiping's hand full of rings with a smile, and was about to put it on for her, when suddenly the princess took the bracelet and took two steps back.
"This is the so-called ancestral treasure!" The princess looked back and forth at the bracelet, her eyes swept around with contempt.
"This is the most precious thing for your mother, how can you despise it now?!" Yu Lang angrily reprimanded.
"What, isn't it just a jade, the water head is not good, it is not transparent, it is not emerald, it is just a little bit of jade, what is the big deal, there are many such bargains in my palace, hum, it is really a poor family who has never seen the world."
Princess Taiping rolled her eyes and hugged her hands, "I thought it was really a baby, and I saluted you and handed you tea, what a waste of princess time!" With this kung fu, I might as well torture that slave for a while! ”
"You can't be rude to your mother, from now on, it's also your mother." Yu Lang reprimanded.
"What are you kidding, my mother is Queen Xiao, she has passed away a long time ago, where did such a mother burst out of such a dirt bun." The princess's eyes wandered around the yurt, and she turned away in disgust.
"Princess!" Yu Lang was so angry that he grabbed the princess's arm and tried to pull her back.
"Lang'er...... Let her go. Li Wan said in a calm whisper.
"This is the daughter-in-law you want??" Yu Lang shook his hand and let go of the princess, full of resentment, and asked Li Wan.
"Lin Yulang, you come over to me! Have a good dream with me tonight, and I have to go on the expedition tomorrow! Princess Taiping didn't go far before she turned around and roared.
Yu Lang was about to say something more, and the two guards saluted him respectfully from outside the door, "Donkey, please go back to the palace." ”
Li Wan looked at Yu Lang, who was leaving in a negative mood, and watched the princess's chariot and horse procession leave in a majestic way, the dust raised spread to cover the sky, and in front of the door of the yurt, a broken jade bracelet was buried by the sand.
"She, must, die." Li Wan smiled and watched the princess leave.
