"Hurry up, what happened to the chief of the county, after the prince comes back, all of us will lose our heads!"

In the southwestern border of Dashang, galloping horses galloped, and a group of iron cavalry galloped past. The general at the head looked dignified, and led his men to gallop toward the outside world.

Princess Qingqing disappeared, and the entire Southwest Palace was going crazy.

What's more troublesome is that the King of Southwest was recalled to the capital by the imperial court not long ago, and his son went with him. Now the entire Southwest Palace has no leader, and only the princess sits in charge. Faced with this sudden situation, she also lost her usual calmness.

Previously, many people in the Southwest Palace had been spreading rumors that the reason that the Southwest King was summoned to the capital this time was because the royal family intended to marry the palace to stabilize the relationship between the royal family and the Southwest Palace.

On the southwestern border of Dashang, there is a Buddha from the West, and a temple is almost equal to a country.

Buddhism, like the Heavenly Mandate Hall in the Western Regions, has won over too many believers with faith. The Qingdeng Temple, the Xilai Buddha inside, is one of the most powerful people in the world, and is regarded as a human Buddha by the world's believers .

Under the influence of Xilai Buddha, countless temples sprang up outside the Qingdeng Temple, with millions of Buddhist followers, and became a Buddhist country by itself.

This is a great threat to big businessmen.

And the existence of the Southwest Palace is a deterrent to this Buddhist kingdom.

It is also for this reason that the Southwest Palace is so valued by the imperial court.

It is said that the prince who is married to the Southwest Palace this time is very likely to be crowned prince.

Outside the southwest border, King Wu's guard cavalry galloped past, and the dust was flying. It can be seen that the disappearance of Princess Qingqing made these experienced soldiers a little panicked.

After all, the safety of Princess Qingqing is not only related to the Southwest Palace.

Li Ziye was practicing his sword in Li Garden, the West Chamber of Dashang Capital City. After a short while, a young servant walked over quickly and said respectfully, "My lord, I found out."

Inside the red line formation, Li Ziye stepped forward, jumped out, and said, "What identity?"

That day, when he rushed back from the birthday banquet of the old man of the Yin family, he was startled by a group of iron cavalry. In this big merchant city, there are not many people who can mobilize cavalry, so he really wants to know, who is the leader? Who the hell is the young general.

"Son of the Southwest Prince, Zhu Qingge!" The servant replied.

"The prince of the Southwest?"

Hearing this, Li Ziye showed a strange expression on his face, and said, "Didn't he and the Southwest King have been guarding the southwest border all this time? Why did you go back to the capital?"

The King of Southwest, like King Xuanwu and Rakshasa, is one of the Ten Martial Kings. However, the King of Southwest is not in the capital all year round, but guards the border to deter the ever-expanding Buddhist kingdom.

"Sir, the King of Southwest has also returned to the capital."

The servant replied respectfully, "According to the report from the spies, the Southwest King's return to Beijing this time is to discuss the marriage between Princess Qingqing and the royal family."

"A marriage between the royal family and the Southwest Palace?"

Li Ziye heard it, and was startled, and continued to ask, "Which prince is it, did you find out?"

The influence of the Southwest Palace is not comparable to that of ordinary Wu Wang. If any prince can marry with the Southwest Palace, he may be named the crown prince directly.

"No."

The young man shook his head and said, "It is said that there are people in the court who support which prince, and it is difficult for His Majesty to decide for a while."

"Understood, let's go down first, if you have any news, report it immediately!" Li Ziye suppressed the waves in his heart, waved his hand, and said.

"Yes!" The servant took the order and left quickly.

"Brother Li is very concerned about this matter?" Beside him, Bai Wangyu asked curiously.

"of course."

Li Ziye grinned stupidly and said, "Let's find out the news earlier, and know which prince can be canonized as the prince, so I can hug my thigh."

""

Bai Wangyu wanted to slap himself, why did he take what this fool said!

"To be honest, Lao Bai, among the four princes, which one do you think is most likely to marry Princess Qingqing?"

Li Ziye took out a century-old "radish" from his bosom, gnawed it, and asked with a gossiping expression.

"I don't know."

Bai Wangyu shook his head and said, "The Confucian sect seldom interferes with the affairs of the court. As for which prince will marry the Nengxinan Palace in the end, it can only be decided by His Majesty."

"It's boring."

Li Ziye took a bite of the radish in his hand, and said, "Of course I know that this matter is up to the emperor to decide. I'm just curious, so I can make a random guess."

"Don't criticize the affairs of the court," Bai Wangyu said.

"I bet the third prince a hundred big medicines!"

Li Ziye gestured to the half "radish" in his hand, and urged, "Quickly, guess one."

Bai Wangyu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I think so, First Prince."

"Elder Prince?"

Li Ziye was surprised when he heard the words, looked around, and whispered, "It's not disrespect to the disabled, after all, the eldest prince's legs and feet are somewhat inconvenient, how could the King of Southwest agree to this marriage, Lao Bai, aren't you Are you going to lose to me on purpose!"

"It's just intuition."

Bai Wangyu smiled lightly, and said, "Brother Li also said he just guessed at random."

"No, I want to raise the bet."

Li Ziye immediately changed his words and said, "Two hundred, two hundred big medicines."

This is picking up money!

"can."

Bai Wangyu nodded indifferently, and responded.

"Young master, the eldest grandson girl is here."

At this time, another young servant came quickly and reported.

"Eldest grandson Nanqiao?"

Li Ziye regained his energy immediately, and said, "My medicine king has arrived!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ziye ignored the gamble with Little Red Riding Hood, and walked quickly towards the west wing.

In the front hall, the eldest grandson Nanqiao was drinking tea while sitting on the seat. On the table was a wooden box with the faint fragrance of medicine.

As soon as Li Ziye entered the hall, he couldn't take his eyes off. He looked more excited than the girl who saw Chi Guoguo.

Finally, finally here!

Li Ziye was tearful, it was not easy.

"Mr. Li, I haven't seen my concubine for a few days, do you miss me so much?"

The eldest grandson Nanqiao looked at the young man with fiery eyes in the hall, and said with a half-smile.

Li Ziye came back to his senses, looked at the troublesome woman in front of him, and said with a grin, "It's like three autumns since we don't see each other every day. I'm really excited to hear that Sister Nan Qiao is coming."

"I think it's not me you want to see, is it?"

The eldest grandson Nanqiao picked up the wooden box on the table, shook it, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Mr. Li said that the concubine's legs were broken. In order to get the king of medicine, the empress alone has I don't know how many times I ran."

"how come!"

Li Ziye said with a smile, "Sister Nan Qiao and Empress Empress are sisters of the same mother, and Empress Empress will definitely not refuse what Elder Nan Qiao wants."

"Ah."

The eldest grandson, Nan Qiao, smiled softly and said, "Sure enough, you have plotted against my elder sister, Li Ziye, you are so courageous, even the empress of the dynasty dares to plot against you."

"Sister Nan Qiao, don't talk nonsense."

Li Ziye said righteously, "From the beginning to the end, I was just making a deal with Sister Nan Qiao, so how can I get involved with the empress?"

"Forget it, I can't tell you."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao gave the former a blank look, threw the wooden box in his hand, and said, "The things are brought to you. When will the cooperation between our two families start?"

"Isn't it already started?"

Li Ziye took the wooden box, put it on the table beside him, and said with a smile, "I have 120 confidence in my sister, and I have already started to prepare for the cooperation with the eldest grandson's family."

"Little guy, why don't you hand over the rest of the Li family's business to my eldest grandson's family as well."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao took the opportunity to say, "Nowadays, the business alliance has just lost a batch of goods, and its vitality has been seriously injured. The Yin family has another incident, and now it is a mess. There are also constant frictions between the two families. If the Li family hands over the business Give them a lot of trouble."

"Sister Nanqiao's words are reasonable, but."

Li Ziye said something, changed the subject, and grinned, "After all, I have some friendship with His Highness the Third Prince. If His Highness recommends these two to me again and again, I don't want to refute His Highness too much."

"Third Prince? Huh."

The eldest grandson Nan Qiao smiled lightly when he heard the words, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Don't Mr. Li know that the King of Southwest went to Beijing to discuss marriage with the royal family?"

"I just heard, why, has there been a result yet?" Li Ziye asked.

"The result has not been announced yet, but nine out of ten have already been determined."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao put down the teacup and said, "The Empress intends to let my nephew Mubai marry Princess Qingqing, the daughter of the Southwest King, and Your Majesty has not refused."

"Fourth prince?"

Hearing this, Li Ziye almost choked on the tea he drank, how could it be the Fourth Prince?

He and Little Red Riding Hood gambled, but there was no Fourth Prince.

So how do you calculate it, a mess?

The main reason is that the fourth prince is a martial idiot. It is said that the Shang emperor and the empress wanted to marry him more than once, but they were all rejected.

That's why he ignored the fourth prince directly.

"Master Li, you are a smart person, you should know what it means if my nephew Mu Bai marries with the Southwest Palace."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled and said, "If the Li family's business wants to go further, it must have the support of the court. Mr. Li should know the difference between giving charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake."

Li Ziye listened to the words of the woman in front of him, his eyes revealed a look of thought.

What a tough choice!

Right now, it is still difficult for him to judge whether the words of eldest grandson Nanqiao are true or not. Could it be that the person who is going to marry Princess Qingqing is really the Fourth Prince?

Just when Li Ziye was uncertain about the future of the Li family, Dashang Southwest, and the guard cavalry of the King of Southwest rushed out of the border, looking for the whereabouts of Princess Qingqing like crazy.

And under the Green Lantern Temple far away from the border, in a small mountain village like a paradise, Sanzang, the son of Buddha, went down the mountain to subdue the demon, rescued the girl in green clothes, and entered the village for alms.

Inside the dilapidated house, Sanzang held a purple-gold bowl in his hand, and in the bowl was melted vegetarian food.

The girl woke up, her beautiful big eyes were full of nervousness.

"Female benefactor, don't be afraid."

Sanzang showed a gentle smile on his fair face, and said, "I've been in a coma for so long, I'm hungry too. The little monk has brought some vegetarian food, you should eat some first."

Hearing this, the girl looked at the purple golden bowl in the hands of the young monk in front of her, and subconsciously stepped back a little, with panic in her eyes.

"Over there, the demon girl is in that broken house. I saw a monk hug her in with my own eyes!"

At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside, and the next moment, a man led a group of villagers kicked open the wooden house, pointed at the girl inside, and said angrily, "Look, everyone, the witch is here!"
