Stunning beauty

Li House.

front hall.

The tea is boiling and the mist is lingering.

Facing each other, Li Ziye and Bai Chuan Xiuze sat facing each other.

Relatively silent.

The two sat like this for a long time, and neither of them said a word.

The two who were once allies, after severely injuring the Qianye clan, their need for each other has weakened a lot. Coupled with the Liyue incident, there seems to be an indelible gap in their hearts.

I do not know how long it has been.

The tea is ready.

Li Ziye poured a cup of tea for the minister in front of him, and said, "Master Taizheng, please."

"Thank you."

Bai Chuan Xiuze picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "How is Plum Blossom Sword Immortal's injury?"

"It's heavy."

Li Ziye said, "You need to rest for a while before you can recover."

"This time, thanks to Plum Blossom Sword Immortal, we were able to barely win."

Bai Chuanxiuze sighed softly, and said, "The Chiba clan is really too despicable, otherwise, there is no need to compete until the fifth round."

"Finally there is no danger."

Li Ziye said in a calm tone, "Fortunately, the result is quite satisfactory. The Taizheng can support the prince he supports to become the Emperor of Yingzhou, and then deal with the Qianye clan, it should be much smoother."

"Ah."

Bai Chuan Xiuze nodded and said, "It will indeed be much more convenient to do things."

"Congratulations."

Li Ziye congratulated.

"polite."

Bai Chuan Xiuze responded and fell silent again.

The conversation between the two of them, one question and one answer, although it was considered polite, it was obvious that there was no former friendship.

There is less demand, and there is a gap. After all, there is no way to go back to the past.

"My lord, in two or three days, Master and I will be leaving."

Li Ziye picked up the tea, took a sip, then looked at him and said.

Bai Chuan Xiuze was taken aback, even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little surprised and said, "So anxious?"

"I've been away from home for too long, and I'm a little worried."

Li Ziye said calmly, "Besides, the matter here in Yingzhou is over. The Qianye family has been severely injured this time, and their vitality has been severely injured. Your lord should be able to deal with it, and we don't need our help anymore."

"Alright."

Bai Chuan Xiuze nodded and said, "In the future, if Mr. Li comes to Yingzhou again, he will definitely come to the Tai government as a guest."

"must."

Li Ziye said calmly.

After the words fell, the two of them seemed to have nothing to say.

After exchanging a few casual greetings, Shirakawa Hidezawa left.

The Taizheng Minister just left.

Hua Fengdu walked in and said, "It seems that there is really a big gap between you and this Minister of the Taizheng."

"The matter has been done, there is no need to act with each other." Li Ziye said lightly.

"He didn't mention Miss Liyue either." Hua Fengdu said.

"It's enough to know it well, why bother to mention it."

Li Ziye picked up the tea, took a sip, and said.

"I didn't mention anything about you and Bai Chuan Xiuning."

Hua Fengdu saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and said with a smile, "Young master, how did I realize that you are such a heartless and ungrateful person? Then Miss Xiuning and you have lived and died together once, little master, how could you be so ungrateful?" I don’t even want to ask.”

"There is neither fate nor share, so it's useless to ask more." Li Ziye said with a flat expression.

"Right."

Hua Fengdu smiled lightly, and said, "Your wife is still waiting for you in Nanling, if she finds out, it will be a troublesome thing for you to lure others outside."

"Sister Hua."

Li Ziye looked at the person in front of him and said.

"What's wrong?" Hua Fengdu asked.

"If it's useless to ask for words, you can donate." Li Ziye said seriously.

"..."

Hua Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, this young master is indeed not a master who is willing to endure hardships.

"Go back to your room to rest and recuperate well. We will set off in three days."

Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand, got up and said.

"Ah."

Hua Fengdu nodded and responded.

Too government.

The carriage stopped.

Bai Chuan Xiuze got out of the carriage and returned to the mansion.

"Brother."

Inside the mansion, Bai Chuan Xiuning saw her brother come back, stepped forward two steps, and asked with concern, "What's the matter?"

"They will leave soon." Shirakawa Hidezawa said.

Bai Chuan Xiuning looked startled, and said, "When?"

"Only two or three days." Shirakawa Hidezawa replied.

Bai Chuan Xiuning heard the words, fell silent for a long time, and said, "Did brother ask about Yueli?"

"No."

Bai Chuan Xiuze shook his head and said, "Since we have already parted ways, why bother to ask so much, it hurts the peace."

"What about the cooperation with the Li family?" Bai Chuan Xiuning said again.

"I didn't ask either."

Bai Chuan Xiuze said calmly, "The Li family's son-in-law has no plans to come to Yingzhou again, cooperation is just empty talk."

Bai Chuan Xiuning fell silent again, not knowing what to say.

"Xiu Ning."

Bai Chuan Xiuze looked at the younger sister in front of him, and said sternly, "Forget about him, there is no destiny between you, today, I stayed in Li's residence for so long, and he never asked you once from the beginning to the end. It means that in his heart, you are not that important."

"I see."

Bai Chuan Xiuning responded, and immediately turned back to the room.

When she turned around, a tear appeared and fell silently.

Bai Chuan Hideze sighed lightly, but did not go to comfort her.

The son of the Li family is not a good match, so it is a good thing to end here.

Although that young man was extremely intelligent, he was also very cold.

The politeness and smiles on the outside, now that I think about it, are just masks for people to let go of their defenses.

Fortunately, in this cooperation, he did not have any malicious intentions, otherwise, that Yueli should be the reminder for him.

Counting all the organs, going step by step, trusting no one, this son of the Li family is really terrifying.

I heard that the Central Plains court and the Li family are peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there are quite a lot of calculations.

Come to think of it, with this son here, the Central Plains court would have to pay a heavy price if it wanted to succeed.

Great merchants, imperial palaces.

at sunset.

Inside the Shouan Hall.

Shang Huang quietly watched the chess game in front of him, playing against himself.

Most of the time, Emperor Shang was playing chess alone, alone, and the heights were overwhelming.

The higher you stand, the more you like the feeling that one person controls everything.

Emperor Shang never liked anyone or anything out of control.

Just like the current Great Shang Dynasty, there is already a Confucian school and a Confucian head, and he doesn't want to have another Li family.

"Father."

At this time, the third prince Mu Yao came over and saluted respectfully.

"Get up."

Emperor Shang didn't raise his head, and while playing chess, he asked, "Have you seen your mother and concubine?"

"I have seen."

Mu Yao stood up and responded.

"Your mother and concubine asked me to marry the son of King Xuanwu and the parents of Li, what do you think?" Shang Huang said lightly.

"Langcai and female appearance."

Mu Yao replied, "King Xuanwu is loyal to the royal father. If the son of King Xuanwu can marry Li's parents and daughters into the family, then the Li family can be controlled by the royal father."

"Ah."

Shang Huang smiled coldly and said, "Do you think that the Li parents and daughters can see your cousin?"

"Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."

Mu Yao sternly said, "The throne of Xuanwu is high and powerful, and it is a high achievement for a merchant from the Li family to be married to King Xuanwu. Presumably, the Patriarch of the Li family will not fail to understand this truth."

"If he really disagrees."

Emperor Shang said coldly, "Could it be that I have to make an order by force?"

Mu Yao frowned, and said, "My son, I don't understand why the Patriarch of the Li family has any reason to refuse. Li Youwei is just a righteous daughter."

"You also know that Li's parents and daughter are just foster daughters."

Emperor Shang said in a cold voice, "Even if you marry, it will not shake the foundation of the Li family, and it will cause dissatisfaction with the Li family. The loss outweighs the gain. The idea of ​​your concubine mother and King Xuanwu seems clever, but it is actually stupid. Go back and think about it. How to arrange this matter, if you can't come up with a practical and useful idea, don't mention this matter again, just step back."

Mu Yao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately saluted respectfully, "Yes! I will take my leave."

After speaking, Mu Yao turned around and left from Shou'an Hall.

Inside the hall.

Shang Huang played chess with himself silently, and the coldness in his eyes became more intense.

Marriage is not impossible.

However, the ideas given by King Xuanwu and Concubine Shu were not enough to shake the foundation of the Li family.

The son of the Li family has been away from the capital for a year, and he must be coming back soon.

thought here.

Emperor Shang picked up a white piece and landed it on the chessboard.

This person was the key to the Li family just now!
