Meanwhile.

After Chen Xin'er got into the carriage, she had been carefully observing Li Wu's expression.

Chen Xin'er is Li Wu's first love, for this vain girl, the biggest regret in this life is that when she was in Wucheng, she once gave up on Li Wu.

Chen Xin'er never thought that Li Wu would actually be a member of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this kind of lofty status made her have a huge gap in her psychology. Until now, Chen Xin'er still remembers that there was such a luxurious and amazing team in Wucheng that day, and then, when Li Wu was respectfully invited out of the carriage by the hundreds of people, Chen Xin'er, who was shrinking behind the crowd like other village girls, suddenly discovered that this unattainable magnate would be Jiang Wu, who had fallen in love with her!

And everything that happened next made Chen Xin'er feel like a dream, Jiang Wu, the Prince of Southern Tang who is now renamed Li Wu, really came for her. So, next, Chen Xin'er got into Li Wu's carriage in the envious and jealous eyes of his companions.

It's just that it wasn't until the carriage drove away from Wucheng for a while that Chen Xin'er woke up from the dreamlike beauty - when Jiang Wu picked her up from the village, she didn't even see her parents in person, let alone any bride price! And she herself was actually in the clouds, and she followed him to leave the Chu State without a name or even a word.

After returning to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Wu was indeed very good to her, but this kind of goodness, after seeing Li Wu's courtyard full of all kinds of beauties given by the Southern Tang Emperor, and seeing the nobles of the Southern Tang Dynasty who frequently showed favor to Li Wu, Chen Xin'er really felt uneasy.

Chen Xin'er knows. He was Li Wu's first love, and he originally had an indelible position in Li Wu's heart. But all of this was almost consumed when she stepped on him to cling to the powerful...... If Li Wu hadn't hated her, how could he have not even seen her parents and relatives? How could he have taken her to Nantang without leaving any bride price to her family? How could he **** go to her at night**, but he has never given her a title so far?

This kind of Li Wu made Chen Xin'er very scared and uneasy, and she faintly had a feeling that one day Li Wu would be tired of her, and at that time. That is, the end of her.

Because of this uneasiness. When Chen Xin'er just knew that the big beauty who blocked the way was the former Jiang Mi, she was even happy. Chen Xin'er thought that it would be good if Jiang Mi could return to Li Wu's Prince's Mansion. At least Jiang Mi is a soft-hearted person. She might even be able to rob Jiang Mi. persuaded Li Wu to give himself a name.

Chen Xin'er didn't know what happened between Jiang Mi and Li Wu, but this did not prevent her from silently observing Li Wu.

Since Jiang Mi left, Li Wu's face has been very bad. He was uneasy, and sneered a few times from time to time, but there was always something inexplicable hidden in his eyes.

After a while, Chen Xin'er opened her mouth in a small voice, "Ah Wu, Ah Mi is your sister, even if she makes a mistake, how can her brother and sister have any overnight feud?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Xin'er spoke, he heard Li Wu sneering there: "Who said that she and I are brothers and sisters? This king and Jiang Mi are neither the same mother nor the same father!" Speaking of this, Li Wu stared at Chen Xin'er, and said: "With our current identity, this king can marry Jiang Mi!"

As soon as Li Wu's last sentence came out, Chen Xin'er immediately became dumb, she didn't want to find a rival in love to go back.

Seeing that she immediately became silent, Li Wu sneered and closed his eyes.

Even after returning to the courtyard of Nanping to settle these envoys, Li Wu still seemed very irritable. However, he has worked hard in the Southern Tang Kingdom in the past two years to his current position, and he has not been lucky all the way, so his self-control is excellent.

In the evening, the Nanping Emperor hosted a banquet for the envoys of the two countries, and Li Wu sat on the table boredly, listening to the conversation of those people without saying a word.

After a while, a deputy envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty leaned over and whispered to Li Wu: "Lord Wang, I heard that during the daytime today, King Kang of the Shu Kingdom took his sister to find the Emperor of Nanping...... You said that if this continues, will the Emperor of Nanping give the production map of the bed crossbow to Shu?"

Li Wu said disdainfully: "All the countries in the world suspect that the production map of the bed crossbow is now in Nanping, and now, my Nantang and Houshu have come to ask for it with generous gifts, and he Nanping gave the production map to Houshu, that is, he offended my Nantang, and gave me Nantang that is to offend Houshu, besides, there is a Houzhou staring at it." According to this king, the only thing that this Nanping Kingdom can do at present is to draw a few copies of the production map and send one copy to all of our major powers, so as to avoid the danger of destroying the country!"

Li Wu's words were very reasonable, and several deputy envoys nodded frequently.

At this time, a deputy envoy suddenly said: "I heard that before Tang was destroyed, Emperor Tang Ai once organized craftsmen to secretly study an extremely powerful crossbow, saying that it was called a god arm crossbow, it is said that the crossbow was just successfully developed, and Emperor Tang Ai was abolished, and those craftsmen all died mysteriously." ......It's just folklore, and the Divine Arm Crossbow still has drawings handed down, but I don't know whose hands it will fall into?

The deputy envoy talked endlessly, but he didn't pay attention but found that Li Wu's expression was different, and he asked in surprise: "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Li Wu immediately regained his indifference, he shook his head and said, "It's okay." He didn't want to explain more to the man, so he closed his eyes indifferently. And the deputy envoy just asked casually, and when he saw this, he diverted his attention.

At this time, Li Wu, who had his eyes closed, was by no means calm, his hands on both sides of the couch were clenched into fists, and the sound of his heartbeat could even be heard by himself: perhaps the world did not expect that his former adoptive mother, that Lady Blossom, was a person who was very fond of collecting other people's secret techniques. He vaguely remembered that when he was five years old, his adoptive mother and father were chatting and mentioning that one of the things she collected was a weapon—and he wondered if it was a crossbow.

In a blink of an eye, Li Wu thought again: Two years ago, Ah Mi asked me to go back to Wucheng and took a wooden box for her under the locust tree in the back mountain. It's just that I was too honest at that time, and I never opened the wooden box to take a look......

Li Wu thought about it, shook his head after a while, and said: No matter what is in the wooden box, God knows that she knows it, and I know it, and I must not let a third person know...... Even if I don't recognize her, I must not let anyone harm her.

......

At this time, Jiang Mi, how did she know that both the Shu Kingdom and the Southern Tang Dynasty had sent the princes of the clan to come, and it was actually for the production process of the bed crossbow? Now she was still immersed in Li Wu's indifferent and ruthless words, and she was so sad that she couldn't extricate herself.

She shut herself up in her room for three days, but fortunately the nobleman kept saying that she was his captive, but for three days he allowed her to lick her wounds, and did not instruct her or order her anything.

On the fourth day, Jiang Mi was still lying listlessly on the couch and was sad, when she suddenly found a lot of chatter in the garden. She opened the window and saw that the garden outside was full of young men and women, and the servants of the Chu Mansion walked through it, constantly adding tea and pouring water to these sons and girls wearing Nanping aristocratic costumes and sending pastries and drinks.

At the same time, Jiang Mi didn't know that the sons of Nanping who came and went were secretly looking at the room where she was. These people looked eagerly and discussed, "I heard that there is a stunning beauty in Chu Mansion?" "It's a Shu girl, they all say that Shu girl has white skin and good figure, and she has a hot and amorous temperament, but I don't know how this beauty is?" "What do you think? "What hug? This son saw it with his own eyes, obviously it was coercion, it was put under his armpit and carried away, it was really a beautiful woman!"

"Hey, you have said so much, no one has said how beautiful that beauty is, can she still be better than the first beauty in Nanping, and the concubine Li in His Majesty's palace can't be?"

Discussing this, a son who was obviously a member of the Nanping clan immediately replied loudly: "You don't understand this, that beauty is much stronger than Concubine Li, and that beauty has a kind of bookish and charming mixture, but it is a rare stunner!"

At this time, another prince of the clan suddenly rattled and said: "I don't know if this guest from the Southern Tang Dynasty is reluctant to part with love? Since it is such a stunning beauty, then she should be offered to His Majesty to enjoy!" Speaking of this, the prince turned to a servant behind him and ordered: "Go, tell Madame about this matter, and ask her to send someone to talk to the Chu Mansion." ”

When the prince of the clan spoke, the people around him who were talking energetically stopped talking. When the sect's gaze swept over, they lowered their heads even more.

......

On this day, the noble son didn't know what to do, and he never returned to Chu Mansion. And in the evening, the emperor of Nanping suddenly issued a decree, saying that he heard that there was a noble girl from Shu in Chu Mansion, and His Majesty feasted the envoys of all countries and the ministers of Nanping tonight, and specially invited this noble girl of Shu to go to the banquet together!!

The holy decree was issued, and without waiting for Jiang Mi to react, the eunuch who issued the decree had already broken into the room where Jiang Mi was located with dozens of guards. When he saw Jiang Mi, who couldn't figure out the situation in the clouds and fog, and stood up in a panic when he heard someone coming in, and didn't apply the fat powder, the eunuchs and the guards all brushed their eyes and lit up.

Then, at the eunuch's forced request, or perhaps in the hostage, Jiang Mi's wing was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, she was forcibly bathed and changed, forcibly combed her hair and dressed up, and forcibly escorted to the carriage to the palace. At this time, the lights in the Nanping Imperial Palace are bright and the music is noisy, and it is the time when the crowd is flowing endlessly, lively and prosperous......
