The queen must start from the head

Chapter 42 Visiting the door
The man in coir raincoat opened his five fingers, and the dagger in his hand was filled with true energy, and approached Mu Lian's face.

The latter raised his right hand helplessly and said, "When one or two are fighting, they always greet people in the face. Don't you know that hitting people is not slapping the face?"

Before she could finish speaking, the sharp dagger that sealed her throat with blood had been caught between the index finger and middle finger of her right hand.

The man in coir raincoat is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, if he missed a move, he immediately realized that the situation was not good, and wanted to retreat.

It was too late to say it, and then it was fast, a green bamboo stick suddenly landed from above him, and when the stick was pulled down, the man in coir raincoat felt his head sank, and then he fell to the ground and passed out.

After he fell, a figure in a light blue robe was clearly reflected in Mu Lian's pupils.

This is a young man with an extremely handsome face. He has long black hair tied back by a blue hairband.On his fair face, there are two extremely transparent eyes, but the look of the eyes is a bit gray, and it seems that the eyes have no focus.

"An evil guest came to the door today, which made the girl laugh."

The man's voice was very gentle and sounded as sweet as the sound of mountain springs.

Seeing that the other party was talking to her, Mu Lian quickly walked a few steps and came out of the alley.

She came in front of this person and bowed to him, "Mu Lian, the head of the Wushuang faction in Huangshan Mountain, came here today to visit your Excellency. If there is any trouble, please forgive me."

The corners of the man's lips pursed slightly, revealing a warm smile, "It turns out to be Master Mu, and I have admired him for a long time. If Master Mu doesn't mind, you can come and sit in the humble residence."

Mu Lian thought for a while and nodded in agreement.She came to Luoliu Lane this time just to ask the person in front of her something, since the other party invited her, why would she not follow?
The words are divided into two parts.

In the imperial city, since Li Tianming, the monarch of the Northern Qi Kingdom, promulgated the canonization of "Sancai Bookstore" as the "No. [-] Bookstore in the World" more than ten days ago, several different voices gradually appeared in the court.

Some courtiers stood up and pointed out that the canonization was too abrupt, and that the title of "No. [-] Bookstore in the World" should be withdrawn, and the name should be formally granted after verification.

After all, "Sancai Bookstore" is just a small bookstore that popped up suddenly in the city. It is not qualified to be called "the best bookstore in the world" no matter in terms of qualifications or strength.However, the root cause is that, firstly, the owner of the bookstore is not a famous person with high morals, and secondly, behind the hundreds of bookstores and shops in the city, there are more or less inextricable ties with the civil official group in the court. The recent popularity has seriously affected the business in their shop.

Originally, books were expensive items. In the past, scholars from ordinary and poor families could only borrow books from wealthy families and copy them by hand for learning.

However, Sancai Bookstore has not only released a wide variety of books in recent days, but also has high quality and low price. These have created a huge impact on other bookstores in the imperial city.Even, many booksellers from other places went directly to Sancai Bookstore to get goods, which caused the business status of many bookstores in the city to go from bad to worse.Only in this way did the scene in the court hall come into being.

However, how could the monarch take back the canonization he had already issued?Words spoken are like water poured out, and it is difficult to take back the water, not to mention that he is the king of a country, and it is impossible to take back his words.

Therefore, there was another group of people who jumped out. This group of people advocated to retain the name of Sancai Bookstore, but Sancai Bookstore and all its properties must be fully owned by the royal family.In this way, someone needs to take care of this business and make it bigger, and the people of this faction are willing to take the lead and dare to go up and down for the king.

Li Tianming sneered in his heart as he looked at the group of courtiers in front of him who were directing and acting like clowns.Nationalize Sancai Bookstore?He also had this idea.

But after Mu Lian left the imperial city, spies from many forces, including the imperial family, quietly inspected Sancai Bookstore over and over again, and almost turned the inside upside down.The intelligence that these spies finally brought back was basically similar.

That is, there are really only two ordinary people in charge of guarding the bookstore in Sancai Bookstore, and a big black dog. Besides, there is no tool that can print and produce books in the bookstore.They also did not find any news about the mysterious "Alien Publishing House".

People are always afraid of the unknown.

As a result, almost all the forces took a stance of restraint, and no one dared to swallow the fat cheese of Sancai Bookstore first.You know, Mu Lian might suddenly return to the imperial city. If she found out that her bookstore had been embezzled, the consequences... Li Tianming didn't want to imagine anymore.

Once upon a time, he, the majestic king of a country, actually wanted to consider and worry about the thoughts of a young girl.Whenever he felt unwilling, the words his father said to him that night came back to haunt him, forcing him to suppress the restless thoughts in his heart.

Although the other party is just a little girl, with his current background, he really can't afford to offend her.

The discussion in the court hall was still going on, and a third group of people jumped out. This group of people thought that the king was not joking, and that the king's will had been issued, so it could not be changed, otherwise it would damage the majesty of the king.

The monarch gradually began to wander, yes, the third group of people who jumped out was exactly what he ordered, and it was also what he could do now.Doing a good job of checks and balances above the court is the basic skill of every monarch.

In the imperial city, the bustle and bustle continued.

In Tianhai City, in front of the once bustling puppet theater, only a few people were still listening to the show.

On this day, when the man in hemp robe was about to pack the big wooden box after the performance, a stranger came suddenly.
