Chapter Seventy-Four: The Face Under the Mask
A gold mine? Li Yunqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again when he heard this, and said lightly: "What?" Her Royal Highness thinks that a gold mine will be tempting? You are no stranger to Daqian, you should know what it means for me to be Daqian. I am not afraid of Lou Yilou's own family. Now there are no copper coins in my Daqian's treasury, and even white eyes are rare, all of them are all gold! His brow furrowed as he said this, as if he was wondering how the gold would be spent. Throughout the ages, both the emperor and the common people have been disgusted with not enough money to spend, and those who have too much money like him are the first to spend it.
But at this time, King Nanping and Ruan Renhui entered the main hall, and Ruan Siping already knew the ins and outs of the matter. If Li Yunqing hadn't come, he would have really regarded the princess and prince of Yuankangguo as honored guests, and if he really did anything out of the ordinary, he would have endured it. Now Li Yunqing and the Ruan family have such a close relationship, and the gold and silver brought by Li Yunqing this time are enough for the expenses of Nanping Kingdom for three years. Ruan Siping has also truly regarded Li Yunqing as his son-in-law, and knowing his purpose, he naturally goes to him.
I saw Ruan Siping kneeling respectfully in front of Li Yunqing, and said loudly: "The old minister sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." He did this to let the people of Yuan Kangguo see what kind of attitude they should have in the face of Emperor Daqian.
Seeing this, Li Yunqing said softly: "Father-in-law, you don't need to be polite, hurry up and give you a seat." Ruan Siping sat on his left side, and then said: "Father-in-law, these two people say that they are distinguished guests of Nanping and have come to Nanping to do business. What kind of prince and princess of the Yuan Kingdom are it, I am also afraid that someone is full of nonsense and uses the name of the royal family to do nonsense, I wonder if my father-in-law can know about the trade between the Yuan Kang Kingdom and our Nanping? Look, the two started acting as if they had discussed it.
Hearing this, Ruan Siping glanced at the two people standing below, turned his head to Li Yunqing and said, "These two people are indeed members of the Yuankang royal family, and they have indeed had business dealings with us in Nanping before. These old ministers have reported to the emperor in the twists and turns over the years, hehe, I am afraid that you don't care about such trivial things. Speaking of this, he changed his words, and continued: "But this year, they seem to have taken over with Lao Chen's younger brother, and they originally said that he would be in charge of this year's business, but now it is not done." ”
Ruan Siwei said this, and looked at the prince and princess below, stroked his beard and said: "Since it doesn't work, it is better to stop the business between the two countries from now on, this king wants to come to Yuankang There are many business partners, not less than Nanping Kingdom." ”
Li Yunqing really couldn't help but want to praise his father-in-law, the old man was really powerful, and he cooperated so well without saying a word. Originally, the business with Nanping was a life-saving talisman for the two brothers and sisters of King Yuankang, but now that the business is gone, Princess Yuankang saw that this last reliance was about to be lost, and even if she was a little flustered. I only heard his eagerness: "Why did the lord of Nanping break the contract so much? At the beginning, you and I decided to have long-term trade exchanges to promote the development of the two countries, why did we suddenly suspend it? This is really a suspicion of treachery! "At this point, it's also open, and there's nothing to dare to say. Reading Temple
Ruan Siping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at Li Yunqing and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is very wrong in what she said, the one who trades with you is the Great Qian Empire legally speaking, because although I say that Nanping is a country, it is only equivalent to a vassal state, and to put it bluntly, it is a state of the Great Qian Empire." You clearly collided with my great son of heaven today, don't you know what is wrong? ”
Princess Yuankang was completely speechless when she heard this, and finally sat helplessly on the ground, and said a little distractedly: "I understand, this time we collided with the Great Qiansheng Son of Heaven, and after all, we have to pay the price for our actions." His gaze fell on Li Yunqing's body, and then said: "Since there is a price to pay, it is better to let the little girl pay this price." The Son of Heaven wants a pair of eyes from his brother, and the little girl will offer her own pair of eyes. As he spoke, he took off his mask, revealing a beautiful and delicate face. This face is slightly different from the people of the Central Plains, some of them look like the Bingao clan, but more of them are like the people of the Central Plains
It's a strange kind of beauty, a perfect blend of two beauties. Seeing that this Princess Yuankang was about to use the dagger at her waist to blind her eyes, Li Yunqing said unhurriedly: "Oh, your mind is admirable. But there seems to be something wrong with your ears, and I said I want your brother's eyes. said that if you want your brother, it must be your brother, where is the reason to let people replace you? But if you have to blind yourself, that's your business, and I won't interfere. After that, he turned his head to look at Ruan Siping, smiled slightly and asked, "Father-in-law, when you send them away, you should send more people, and the two blind men should be escorted well." After all, this is a princess and prince of the royal family, and if they disappear halfway, they won't be able to hang their faces. ”
Ignoring the cannibalistic eyes of the Duke of Yuankang, Ruan Siping nodded and said, "What the emperor said is, rest assured, the old minister will not let Daqian lose face." If this is the case, it is a big deal to let Renhui personally escort the two of them back to ensure that there is no problem. ”
Looking at Li Yunqing and King Nanping, Princess Yuankang suddenly screamed and choked up: "Ah! Why do you want to be like this? What exactly do you want? I said I would give you a pair of eyes, why not? My brother's temperament is a bit domineering, but this time it's just a matter of looking at the woman next to you twice, why do you have to be unrelenting?! After that, he stood up violently and took two steps forward, and said to Li Yunqing: "If you don't want people to look at your concubine, you can hide people in the deep palace, since you bring it out, you want people to see it, who doesn't like beauties?" Isn't that what you like the most about beauty? This Princess Yuankang's actions made Li Yunqing stunned, he didn't expect that the other party would actually ignite a raging fighting spirit again.
Li Yunqing suddenly laughed, he laughed because after thinking about it carefully, what the other party said was very reasonable. Beauty is just for people to see, otherwise wouldn't it give birth to a good skin for nothing? He wasn't such a stingy person originally, but he couldn't get used to Prince Yuanyasu's behavior. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "If you think about it carefully, the princess's words do have some truth, and in that case, I don't want your brother's eyes." But after all, he has to pay the price, drag him out and replay the thirty boards, and live or die depends on the destiny of heaven! ”
Princess Yuankang didn't expect Li Yunqing to suddenly change her mind, and she couldn't help but feel relieved, but when she heard that her brother was going to be beaten, although she didn't like her brother's actions on weekdays, she was a brother and sister after all, so she wanted to intercede for her brother again. But before he could speak, he heard Ruan Qingsoftly snorting beside Li Yunqing, who inadvertently looked at it, but saw Ruan Qingrou shaking his head at him, it was obvious that things could only go so far, and then interceding could only be counterproductive.
