After rebirth, he was pampered by the disabled prince.

The border counties are all yellow sand, connected to the deserts of the Western Regions. The people in the border counties know how to survive in the desert. However, the border counties are a group of people who kill without blood. They have great ambitions and strong abilities, but their number is too small, so Basically, before winter, they plunder the villages around Lingnan and Qidong, and then return to the depths of the yellow sand to spend the winter.

Such people have the ability to take you across the desert, but they may not necessarily take you across the desert. Even if they really give you the price they want, you may not be able to walk out of the desert alive.

They have no humanity!

Therefore, Gu Qi disagreed very much, "Xinghe, I know you are anxious, but you can't go to the Bianqun people. They are just a bunch of hungry poisonous snakes. They have no humanity and it is impossible to make a deal with them."

"I know, so this is the last resort." Mu Xinghe's tone was very calm, but her attitude was firm. If she really couldn't find someone who could cross the desert within half a year, then she would find someone from the border county.

She would find him and make a deal with him, no matter what the cost.

She owes Xiao Yu her life and should repay it!

"Xinghe, it's useless. People in Bianjun are not trustworthy. Even if they agreed at the time, they would regret it at any time."

"Don't worry." Mu Xinghe said soothingly, "Seventh brother, you must find someone named Nukeda from Bianjun."

"Slave? A slave from a border county?"

The word "slave", no matter where it is used, means a slave who has no freedom and is oppressed by others. Can such a person lead them across the desert?

"No, he... is a figure!" Mu Xinghe narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. She didn't trust anyone from the Border County, but this Nu Ke was half a Border County person. As long as he agreed to something, he would do it. It can definitely be done, it just depends on whether you can afford the price.

Gu Qi looked at Mu Xinghe with some confusion, "Are you sure this person can do it?"

"Of course, I won't do anything I'm not sure about. I only have half a year to bring the Qingyuan layman back."

Xiao Yu's legs can't wait any longer. If he waits any longer, it will only become the ending of his previous life. She wanted to cure him, and she wanted him to return to the prairie of Keldan and run around to his heart's content.

His legs were broken there, so he must return there with a healthy body to regain his glory.

"Okay, if I can't find anyone in the Western Region, I will go find Nukeda as you said. But Xinghe, I'm going to say something ugly in front of you, so you can't come forward."

When doing business with people from border counties, it will be useless to just find someone in charge. Someone who can make the decision must be present in person.

Gu Qi is the seventh eldest son. He is the nephew of the current boss of Gu's Trading Company. He is the seventh eldest son in the Gu family, so Mu Xinghe calls him seventh brother. In addition to this seventh brother, she also has a younger seventh brother.

This seventh brother, his father is the direct brother of the big boss of Gu's trading company. He also has an eldest brother above him. Originally, the first brother of the Gu family was in business, and the second brother was a scholar in the imperial examination. However, Gu Qinye didn't like studying and loved doing business.

But he didn't want to work under the boss of the Gu family, so he ran out on his own to make a career.

Lin's shop now has two sections, one selling rouge and gouache, and the other selling grain and cloth. Gu Qinye holds shares in both, and everyone in the chamber of commerce also knows that he is the second owner of Lin's shop.

Therefore, as Gu Qinye, he was qualified to negotiate with the people from the border county.

Mu Xinghe said "Yeah", "Let's go, Brother Qi is going to eat."

Now Mu Xinghe is too lazy to think about it, although she thinks that the chance of finding someone who can cross the desert in the Western Region is very slim. But no one can say for sure, what if it is found?

But if he really can't find it, then she can only be the one to negotiate with Nuka. Gu Qinye can't afford what he wants.

-

The two of them went to Zuixianlou. As the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, it was impossible to eat at Zuixianlou without making a reservation in advance. So when I came over, I had already asked the waiter to locate the location.

Mu Xinghe reserved a private room, not because she was afraid of being exposed, but because she asked Chun Xing to bring Gu Qinye's wife and children over to have dinner together. Later, when she saw Uncle Lin was there, she simply called her aunt over too. The children were more More, the private room is better.

When they arrived at Zuixian Tower, Mu Xinghe and Gu Qinye went up to the second floor. As soon as they went up, they met an acquaintance.

Mu Hanyan's eyes lit up when she saw Mu Xinghe, and she quickly stepped forward and called out affectionately: "Sister."

Mu Xinghe took a step back slightly, with a distant smile on his face, and nodded, "I have met Liang Di."

Gu Qinye, who was standing aside, bowed and saluted, "Common people see Liang Di."

Although Liang Di is a concubine, she is also the prince's concubine. Mu Xinghe does not need to salute as the county head, but Gu Qinye has to salute. However, since he has a great reputation, he does not need to kneel down to salute.

Mu Hanyan's eyes immediately became misty, "Sister, are you trying to spite me?"

Mu Xinghe said calmly, "The moment Liang Di chose to leave the Hou Mansion, she was no longer the second girl in the Hou Mansion, so naturally I was no longer Liang Di's sister."

"But, sister, you clearly support me..."

"But Liangdi, I didn't let you leave your parents alone!" Mu Xinghe scolded in a low voice, his eyes red, "Did you know that you are forcing me to die, even if you don't want to be the daughter of the marquis, you will marry into the prince's palace. Your Majesty will not Will he be suspicious? Will he not find out that you and the prince have been having an affair for a long time? Dad is loyal to His Majesty, does not form factions or seek selfish interests, and has never been disobedient. He is a military general. He said that even if he died, he would die on the battlefield. But For your majesty, and for our willingness to be caged birds trapped in the capital, we have resentment, hatred, unwillingness, and compromise. Why? Because it is impossible for my father to be that rebellious minister and traitor. My father is loyal to the Xiao family. Your Majesty’s country!”

Mu Xinghe gritted his teeth and became more and more angry the more he spoke, "But what you did almost nailed him to the pillar of shame of a rebellious official and traitor!"

Anyone can curry favor with the prince, but not Marquis Yongyi. The emperor he is loyal to is not the prince!

Mu Hanyan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she subconsciously said, "But, but the prince, he is the orthodox prince!"

If you have something to do with him, how can you become a traitor? So many ministers wanted to give their daughters to him.

"He is an orthodox prince, but he is only a prince!" Mu Xinghe rubbed his forehead and finally sighed, "Don't interact with him anymore in the future."

After saying that, Mu Xinghe turned around and walked to the reserved box.

Gu Qinye shook his head, "Sister, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Now that the head of the family is getting older, what he is most afraid of is that his son will collude with his subordinates behind his back to take away his power. She doesn't even know this. ?”

If the emperor has reached his deathbed, then there is no problem for these people to support the prince. But now, he can stay on the throne for at least twenty years, or even longer. How can he make the prince full-fledged?

The prince is already twenty-three. Who knows that he will not wait until the emperor dies before ascending the throne?

If not, the prince should have married a long time ago, so why bother plotting against Mu Xinghe? On the one hand, it was for the power of the Yongyi Hou Mansion, and on the other hand, it was also because neither the Queen nor the Emperor mentioned the matter of the Crown Princess.
