Ling Qi and the others who returned to the camp received a grand welcome.

After receiving the notification, King Qiuci rushed over immediately, greeted Ling Qi very attentively, his attitude was so approachable, and Ling Qi, who was not yet clear about the situation, was quite flattered.

But Ling Qi noticed that there was something wrong with the expressions of Chu Liuxiang and the others.

Especially Hu Tiehua, with a bright and contemptuous look on his face, even Ling Qi couldn't help but feel embarrassed for King Qiuci.

However, Ling Qi reckoned that King Qiuci must have done something to offend Hu Tiehua, otherwise, in the face of Princess Pipa, Hu Tiehua would not be so merciless.

Thinking of this, Ling Qi suppressed the smile on his face, and said politely and distantly to King Qiuci: "Thank you for your concern, but Pindao is currently unwell and needs to rest quietly. I hope your majesty will understand."

"Yes, yes, the Taoist priest has suffered a great crime this time, and it is indeed a good time to cultivate."

Now that we've talked about it, King Qiuci can't be brazen enough to hold back. He laughed dryly twice, and quietly looked at the expressions of Chu Liuxiang and the other three, his heart was full of annoyance and apprehension.

If he had known that Ling Qi could escape so quickly, he wouldn't have been smart enough to threaten Chu Liuxiang and the others!

This is great, not to mention that the goal was not achieved, but it also made Chu Liuxiang and the others feel bad about themselves, and if they tried to win them over to help restore the country, it might not be very likely to succeed...

After returning to the king's tent worriedly, King Qiuci immediately asked his attendants to summon Princess Pipa.

Now, he can only think of one way to save the situation.

As long as Pipa is willing to marry Hu Tiehua who is interested in her, then Hu Tiehua can be kept. At that time, Chu Liuxiang and others will naturally look at Hu Tiehua's face and stay to help him complete the great cause of restoring the country.

But thinking of Pipa's infatuation with Chu Liuxiang, King Qiuci felt a little uncertain.

After Princess Pipa arrived at the king's tent, King Qiuci immediately dismissed all the attendants in the tent, and said to Princess Pipa with a sad face: "Daughter, the situation is not good now. I’m afraid they won’t agree to help us restore the country.”

"Why did the father say that?" Princess Pipa asked in confusion.

The news of Ling Qi's return had already spread throughout the camp, and Princess Pipa naturally also received the news.

It's just that she has been so busy hooking up with Chu Liuxiang these two days that she doesn't know anything about King Qiuci's use of Ling Qi to blackmail Chu Liuxiang and others, so she can't understand why King Qiuci would say that.

"Oh...it's a long story."

Sighing, King Qiuci told Princess Pipa what was going on, and after explaining, he took Princess Pipa's hand and said earnestly, "Father really can't do anything now, or else, you should be wronged... ..."

"Father!" Guessing what King Qiuci meant, Princess Pipa hastily interrupted his words.

"You promised to let me choose the son-in-law myself." The person she likes is Chu Liuxiang, even if she wants to marry, she must marry Chu Liuxiang, definitely not that sloppy Hu Tiehua.

King Qiuci said helplessly, "I know what you're thinking, but, but that Chu Liuxiang has no affection for you at all."

As a father, of course he also wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter that he liked, but the problem was that Chu Liuxiang didn't look at Pipa at all, so he couldn't force Chu Liuxiang to marry Pipa, could he?

Besides, even if he wants to be strong, he has to be able to use it. Chu Liuxiang is not an easy character to handle.

Princess Pipa looked at King Qiuci with tears in her eyes, and begged: "My daughter doesn't want to marry Hu Tiehua, father, you can follow the original plan and use your sister to marry Pipa, okay?"

Seeing the appearance of Princess Pipa, King Qiuci couldn't bear it, but when he thought of restoring the country, he had to harden his heart.

"There is no need to mention this matter again. For the sake of Kucha, you must marry Hu Tiehua."

"I will ask the messenger to inform Hu Tiehua of the news later. You should be prepared. After Hu Tiehua agrees, I will arrange your marriage as soon as possible."

Hearing King Qiuci's words, Princess Pipa's complexion lost all color in an instant. She looked at the resolute King Qiuci with hazy eyes and asked with a sob, "Do you really want to treat your daughter so cruelly?"

King Qiuci stared ahead without saying a word.

Seeing this, Princess Pipa's tears flowed down immediately, she wiped the corners of her eyes in embarrassment, and said sadly: "Okay, my daughter understands... everything is up to the father." After saying this, she turned around left the tent.

Seeing Princess Pipa's leaving back, King Qiuci's face was full of bitterness.

In order to restore the country, he can only be a cruel father.

On the other side - after King Qiuci left, Ling Qi asked Hu Tiehua why he behaved like that just now.

Hu Tiehua told Ling Qi about how King Qiuci threatened them, and then said with a smug smile: "The old man must not have thought that you escaped by yourself so soon, maybe what kind of regret will you have now?" !"

Ling Qi, who figured out the reason, was dumbfounded for a moment, he really didn't expect that the King of Kucha was so confused.

"Tsk, isn't he stupid?" If the King of Qiuci extended a helping hand when they needed help, they would definitely help the King of Qiuci restore the country in return afterwards. Why did they have to use such a stupid trick?

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "He's just pretending to be smart."

To put it bluntly, the king of Qiuci didn't trust them in his heart, and he was afraid that he would not be rewarded for his efforts. In fact, Chu Liuxiang could understand King Qiuci's behavior, but anyone would feel embarrassed if he was taken advantage of by the other party. answer.

After discussing this matter, it was just in time for lunch.

Xiaobie was reunited, and Ling Qi and the others decided to have dinner together at noon, and by the way, they could have a good drink to relax.

Ling Qi also deliberately left behind Qu Wurong who was planning to leave.

After all, he was the one who abducted people, and Qu Wurong also helped him a lot. As a good young man who knows how to repay his kindness, Ling Qi said that he must help Qu Wurong as much as he can in return. .

For example, building a bridge for Qu Wurong to make friends with Chu Liuxiang and the others.

Ling Qi's intentions were obvious, which made Qu Wurong feel a little embarrassed, and wanted to refuse, but before she refused, Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked her to stay.

"Miss Qu is Xiaoling's benefactor, that is, Chu's benefactor. I also ask Miss Qu to give Chu a chance to thank you."

Qu Wurong: "..."

She looked at the smiling Ling Qi, then at Chu Liuxiang and the other three with friendly expressions, and finally nodded in agreement.

Probably King Qiuci greeted Gao Gao, and the lunch dishes were very rich.

After tasting the dishes with his chopsticks, Ling Qi sighed to Chu Liuxiang and the others: "That female devil, Shi Guanyin, really commands the wind and rain in the desert, and the food I ate there is more delicate than the food here at King Kucha's." Much more delicious."

"You foodie," Chu Liuxiang glared at Ling Qi dumbfounded, "I think if it wasn't because it's not safe there, would you still plan to stay forever?"

In such a situation, he was still in the mood to enjoy delicious food, and he was convinced.

"Who are you underestimating!"

Ling Qi retorted unconvinced, "Am I that kind of person? When I ate dry food with you all the way before, I never complained!"

Seeing Ling Qi firing at Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua gloated and laughed.

Chu Liuxiang has always been a good talker, and Hu Tiehua has never taken advantage of him when it comes to his skills.

Over the years, he has also seen Ling Qi, a talent who can say that Chu Liuxiang has no power to fight back. There is excitement to watch, and it is Chu Liuxiang's excitement. Hu Tiehua said that he is happy to be a melon eater.

Ji Bingyan also casually drank wine and watched the excitement.

Chu Liuxiang raised his eyebrows and fought back, "Yes, yes, you never complained, you just expressed your dissatisfaction with practical actions."

"Do I have it? Old Hu and Ji, do you think I have it?" Ling Qi slapped the table aggressively and asked the two people watching.

"No, no, of course not, anyway, I didn't find out." Hu Tiehua, who had always boasted of being honest, also began to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

Ji Bingyan calmly looked away, and echoed, "I didn't see it either."

Well, with or without, they were all blind anyway and couldn't see anything.

"Okay, you guys actually joined forces to deal with me!" Chu Liuxiang pretended to be angry and widened her eyes, but couldn't help revealing a smile in her eyes, "I think it won't be long before the three of you will have to wear a pair of pants. "

"The eyes of the masses are discerning," Ling Qi said with a straight face, "You must be punished for slandering people like this."

"Oh?" Chu Liuxiang raised his eyebrows and teased, "Then dare to ask our omnipotent Master Ling, is there any way to help the villain resolve this retribution?"

"Since you are begging me so sincerely, then I will tell you mercifully."

Ling Qi brazenly followed Chu Liuxiang's words, and then took out a triangular talisman paper from his arms, "I have a kind of talisman here, which can eliminate disasters and solve difficulties. For the sake of our familiarity, I I'll give you a friendly price—[-]!"

"As long as [-], you can't buy it at a loss and you can't be fooled! Guaranteed value for money!"

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

Why does he feel that Ling Qi looks like a street vendor at the moment?

"500 taels." Ji Bingyan suddenly said, "I can offer 5000 taels and buy ten."

The talismans and seals that Ling Qi took out must have good effects, Ji Bingyan thought, no matter whether they are needed now or not, it is beneficial and harmless to buy some for preparation.

"500 taels? Why don't you go grab the money." Ling Qi immediately laughed angrily at the price offered by Ji Bingyan, "Ninety-nine and eight are all friendship prices. If it were someone else, I would at least pay ten times the price." only willing to sell."

Ji Bingyan blinked and continued to bid, "550 taels."

What's the difference between you and 500 taels?Ling Qi's jaw tilted, and he resolutely stuffed the talisman paper back into his bosom, "I won't sell it, my lord, who cares about your little money."

Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang were already laughing together, and even Qu Wurong couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face.

After drinking and eating, Qu Wurong left first, leaving Ling Qi and the others to continue drinking and having fun.

When the envoy of King Qiuci arrived at the tent, Ling Qi and the others were in high spirits, and the atmosphere in the tent was very lively.

Hu Tiehua lost to Ling Qi with a punch. At Ling Qi's request, he was doing drunken fist. The messenger opened the curtain, and saw the son-in-law handpicked by King Qiuci going crazy, circling around the ground with a flagon lock up.

The corners of his eyes twitched fiercely, and the emissary couldn't help but began to wonder if King Kucha was getting old and his eyesight had begun to dim.

With such a virtue, letting the princess marry him is like a flower stuck in cow dung!

Discovering the messenger's arrival, Chu Liuxiang vaguely guessed the other party's purpose, but... Seeing the messenger's eyes full of disgust for Hu Tiehua, Chu Liuxiang turned her head silently, and decided to pretend that she had not noticed the other party's arrival.

He can be courteous to those who look down on him, but he will never be polite to someone who looks down on his brother.

It just so happened that Hu Tiehua staggered at this moment, the jug in his hand was not steady, and just flew towards the tent door——

With a bang, the emissary who was hit on the head fell to the ground screaming.

"Ouch, ouch, hello..."

Hu Tiehua looked at the envoy rolling on the ground with his head covered in confusion, "When did someone stand here..."

"Cough cough," Chu Liuxiang turned her head and snickered, then got up to help the messenger, and apologized without much sincerity, "I'm really sorry, we didn't see when you came here, are you okay?" , Is the smash serious?"

The emissary who stood up clutching his head was trembling with anger, but he couldn't have an attack, so he had no choice but to put on a fake smile and say it's okay.

"I don't know if your Excellency came here, do you have something to explain?"

After returning to her seat, Chu Liuxiang winked at Lingqi and Ji Bingyan, and then asked the messenger in a leisurely manner.

Ling Qi, who received the signal, pulled Hu Tiehua to his side, tried to distract him by talking to him, but received a disdainful look from Hu Tiehua, "I can't get drunk with just that little amount of alcohol, what are you afraid of? Think of me as a little bitch who can't stand the blow."

For Hu Tiehua, getting drunk or not is just a matter of thought.

Besides, even if his brain didn't react so quickly, he could see that something was wrong right now. If he used his brain a little, how could he fail to guess the purpose of this person's coming?

Hu Tiehua looked coldly at the envoy's hesitation, and laughed in his heart.

No matter how reluctant, the envoy could not have disobeyed King Qiuci's order, and finally explained the purpose of his visit. After he finished speaking, he subconsciously lifted his chin, with a high-spirited look, which made Lianling look Qi even wanted to throw another jug ​​on his head.

"What the hell, you really take yourself seriously," muttered unhappily, Ling Qi turned his head to look at Hu Tiehua with a serious face, and said in a low voice: "Brother Hu, you must not be seduced by beauty Ah, as a man, dignity is absolutely inviolable! A hypocritical woman like Princess Pipa is not worth what you pay for her."

Looking at Ling Qi with a displeased face, Hu Tiehua was immediately happy, thinking that this little brother really didn't hurt him in vain, and he knew how much he loved him.

The envoy gradually realized something was wrong.

Why has it been so long since he finished speaking, and these people still haven't responded at all?

He looked down - what the hell are these people doing? !

Ji Bingyan drank in silence, Hu Tiehua and Ling Qi were whispering together and biting their ears, only Chu Liuxiang didn't ignore him, but stared at him with a smile that made people feel chills down the spine...

"Chu, Hero Chu, why are you staring at the little one like that?" Swallowing his saliva, the messenger asked inexplicably uneasy.

Chu Liuxiang smiled, and was about to reply, when a sentence suddenly appeared from the side: "Who cares about you, he is clearly a dog who looks down on people!"

Hu Tiehua hugged Ling Qi's shoulders, and smiled sarcastically at the messenger.

"I said you should have some face, don't put on such a posture to disgust you guys, go back and tell your king, just say that I, Hu, don't agree with this marriage!"

"You, you, you - bold! How dare you disobey the order!"

"Ouch, grandpa is really scared to death. It's disrespectful to resist!" Hu Tiehua exaggeratedly held his chest and made a frightened expression, then turned his head and asked Ling Qi: "Ling Xiaoqi, what do you think?" But what should I do? I heard that if you resist the decree and disrespect, you will be beheaded!"

Ling Qi patted Hu Tiehua's shoulder cooperatively, and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, don't be afraid, the king's laws of the Kucha Kingdom can't control the people of Daqing, and we, as Daqing people, don't have to obey the will of the Kucha Kingdom." .”

Hearing Ling Qi's words, and looking at Chu Liuxiang who was smiling strangely in front of him, the emissary's heart skipped a beat, and his complexion instantly turned pale.

"Okay, didn't you hear what Lao Hu said just now?" Chu Liuxiang finally spoke, but this opening was an order to expel the guest, "Why don't you hurry back and report to your king?"

They're going to keep drinking, this man is too much of an eyesore here.
