Stunning beauty

Li Yuan, the main hall.

A prince, the son of a merchant, meets friends with tea.

The atmosphere is a little weird.

After the sound of the cup being thrown, the entire main hall gradually became quiet.

"remuneration?"

When Mu Qing heard the request from the person in front of her, she was startled for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

The person who dared to ask for a reward from a prince, in the whole world, probably only this Li Jiaoxi.

"What kind of reward does Brother Li want, this king's face, isn't it enough?"

Mu Qing took the initiative to pick up the teapot, poured two cups of tea herself, and asked with a smile.

"Face is worth a few dollars, you can't see it or touch it."

Li Ziye picked up his teacup, and argued with reason, "The Li family is a businessman, His Highness pays me, and I work for His Highness, I am at ease, and His Highness is also at ease."

"It seems to make a little sense."

After hearing what the former said, Mu Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Face is something that can be useful if it is said to be useful, or useless if it is said to be useless. How much help it can be exchanged for, in fact, it all depends on the mood of others.

However, if it is a business where you pay money and do things with one hand, it is a matter of credibility.

The last thing the Li family wanted to do when they opened their doors for business was smashing their own signboard.

"What reward does Brother Li want?"

After thinking for a while, Mu Qing looked at the leader of the Li family in front of him, and asked.

"Then it depends on what His Highness can come up with?"

Li Ziye smiled slightly, and replied, "Remuneration doesn't depend on what I want, but on what Your Highness has. I will accept anything like this, and I won't pick anything."

While talking, Li Ziye picked up the wooden box beside him, and then opened it.

In the wooden box, there are several treasures, such as Chun Jun Sword, Zhenhun Pearl, Yunling Sword, Lei Lingzhu, Qu Nanzhu, etc., all of which seem to be of great value.

When Mu Qing saw the pile of treasures that the former had taken out, his eyes immediately turned to the soul-suppressing beads in the wooden box, and he couldn't help being shocked.

This is?

Hunyuan beads!

Why does Li Jiaoxi also have a Hunyuan Pearl in his hand?

Across the tea table, Li Ziye saw the change in the expression of the eleventh prince, and took another sip of tea without showing any trace.

Sure enough, Mu Qing had seen the Hunyuan Pearl.

At the beginning, when he and Prince Wen were in the extreme north, they cut out a fake Hunyuan Pearl from Ye Gui's belly, which showed that the royal family must have the real Hunyuan Pearl.

Concubine Wen is in charge of the night ghost. In order to facilitate the control of the night ghost, the real Hunyuan Pearl is probably in her hands.

Therefore, if Mu Qing and Concubine Wen had a showdown, it would not be surprising to see the Hunyuan Pearl.

Judging from Mu Qing's reaction, his deduction should be correct.

That being the case, the next step is easy to talk about.

Thinking of this, Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Your Highness, how about it, I am not picky, as long as there are treasures, I will accept them."

"Brother Li."

Mu Qing recovered from the shock, looked at the bead in the wooden box, suppressed the waves in her heart, and asked, "What is this bead?"

"Soul-suppressing beads, or Hunyuan beads."

Li Ziye replied calmly, "The soul-suppressing bead and the Hunyuan bead look very similar on the surface, and it's hard to tell them apart. There is only a slight difference in function. I just got this bead not long ago, and I haven't researched it yet."

Speaking of this, Li Ziye looked at the eleventh prince in front of him, and asked in puzzlement, "Your Highness, there are so many treasures in this box, why do you only ask about this one?"

In order to prevent coincidences or arouse the suspicion of the eleventh prince, he put a bunch of similar treasures such as Lei Lingzhu, Yeguangzhu, Qunanzhu, etc. in it.

In front of the tea table, Mu Qing heard the former's inquiry, hesitated for a moment, and took out the Hunyuan Pearl from her bosom.

"This is?"

When Li Ziye saw the Hunyuan Pearl in Mu Qing's hand, his eyes widened immediately, and he asked in disbelief, "Your Highness, where did you get this pearl?"

"Given by my concubine."

Mu Qing said softly, "My concubine told me that this bead of mine is called the Hunyuan bead, so it can be inferred that Brother Li's one should be the soul-suppressing bead."

"Suppressing the soul, Hunyuan."

Li Ziye glanced at the two almost identical beads, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "It seems that there is indeed no difference, Your Highness, is your bead for sale?"

"selling?"

Mu Qing was speechless when he heard the words, and said angrily, "What are you thinking, I just took out the Hunyuan Pearl after seeing Brother Li's Soul Suppressing Pearl, how could it be sold?"

"If you don't sell it, just lend me a few days."

Li Ziye chose the next best thing, and said with a smile, "For my sake, Your Highness asked me to study for a few days."

"Didn't Brother Li just say that something like face is worth a lot?"

Mu Qing looked at the former with contempt, and replied, "This Hunyuan Pearl is a priceless treasure, so I can borrow it if I can."

"I can exchange it with the soul-repelling pearl. When His Highness returns to the city in triumph, we can exchange it back." Li Ziye suggested.

"This proposal can be considered."

Mu Qing looked at the soul-suppressing beads in the wooden box, and asked, "However, I plan to change the transaction method. During the days when I am on the expedition, both the soul-suppressing beads and the Hunyuan beads can be placed with Brother Li. As a reward, Brother Li Help me take care of my mother and concubine, and besides, if I need it sometime in the future, brother Li will also lend me the soul-repelling pearl unconditionally."

"His Eleventh Highness is really a master at bargaining."

Li Ziye smiled wryly, "Isn't it too cruel to exchange so much reward for only lending out the Hunyuan Pearl for a few days? In the past, I was always called a profiteer by the Li family. Today I finally know that His Highness is the A real big profiteer."

"Ah."

Mu Qing smiled lightly, and said, "So, what about adding my face? This time is enough."

"Haha, no matter what, it's a deal!"

Li Ziye responded, stretched out his hand to snatch the Hunyuan Pearl from the hand of the eleventh prince in front of him, and said, "Now, this thing is mine for the time being."

"Brother Li, be careful, don't get confused."

Mu Qing saw the image of the guy in front of him as a money fan, and reminded, "These two beads look too similar, so it's hard to tell them apart."

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Li Ziye said casually, "Okay, you can go, Your Highness, and I will take care of what you asked me to do."

"You guy."

Mu Qing shook her head helplessly, got up and said, "Then I'll go first, there's no need to send it off."

"Definitely not."

Li Ziye waved his hand and answered.

"Brother Li, why don't you write me a letter."

Just as Mu Qing was about to turn around, she seemed to have thought of something, stopped her steps, and said with a look of distrust on your face, "Otherwise, I don't worry."

"Your Highness, you are slapping me in the face."

Li Ziye pointed to the signboard with Li characters outside, and said seriously, "Have you seen that signboard? It took me more than ten years to erect it. As long as that signboard is still there, my Li family will not be able to self-destruct. reputation."

"That's right, let's go, don't send it off."

Mu Qing smiled, didn't say much, turned and left.

In the main hall, Li Ziye got up and looked at the back of the Eleventh Prince leaving, and the smile on his face disappeared.

How can I not send it.

Tomorrow, it will definitely be delivered.
