Chapter 17 Murong(1/2)
Wangxiang Tower, the great commercial capital.
On the second floor, two women were sitting at the table by the window. Outside the window, they could see the bustling scene of the big commercial city.
The appearance of the two people is so outstanding that people can't help but look at them frequently.
Sister Li, please.
Murong opened his mouth, offered tea instead of wine to the woman in front of him, and smiled.
Thank you, Your Highness Princess.
Li Youwei also raised her glass and took a sip.
I heard that Sister Li came to the capital with my Third Emperor brother. Did she encounter any trouble on the way? Murong said softly.
No.
Li Youwei shook her head gently and said, thanks to the care of His Highness, the trip went smoothly.
That's good.
Murong smiled and said, Murong had been admiring Sister Li's reputation for a long time. When he learned that his sister had come to the capital, he couldn't wait to see her. He also hoped that Sister Li would forgive Murong's abruptness.
Your Highness the Princess is polite. It is an honor for Youwei to be summoned by Her Highness the Princess. Li Youwei said softly.
Hearing this, Murong smiled softly and said, Sister Li, we are going to say these polite words again. I don’t know what Sister Li’s plans are when she comes to the capital. Why don’t you come and stay for a few days at my princess residence, my residence outside the palace?
, I haven’t stayed there for a long time. If Sister Li can come, I can take this opportunity to ask my mother to live outside the palace for a few days.
Thank you for the invitation from Her Highness the Princess. However, Youwei came to the capital here to discuss cooperation. The itinerary and accommodation have been arranged, so I can only say sorry to Her Highness the Princess. Li Youwei said calmly.
Well, that's such a pity.
Murong had a look of regret on his face, but he quickly recovered as before, smiling and saying, forget it, Sister Li is in the capital anyway, and if Murong wants to see her, there are plenty of opportunities.
Um.
Li Youwei nodded lightly and said nothing more.
By the way, for the cooperation thing that Sister Li just mentioned, I wonder if there are any suitable candidates. Murong does have a few good candidates that he can recommend to Sister Li.
Murong said half politely, half sincerely.
When he was in Yuzhou City, His Highness the Third Highness mentioned three families to the Li family, the Changsun Family, the Merchant Alliance, and the Yin Family Bank. The Third Highness said he would help introduce them, but he has not been able to meet them yet. Li Youwei said.
Shangmeng, Yin's Bank.
Murong murmured softly, and flashes of light flashed in his beautiful eyes.
The Third Emperor Brother is really good at making recommendations. Although these two families are related to the imperial court, they are also deeply involved with the Third Emperor Brother.
The three families were selected, and both families are from the power of the Three Emperors Brothers, so the purpose is self-evident.
It seems that although the Third Emperor Brother has completed the task assigned by his father this time, he also has a lot of selfish intentions secretly.
Since the Third Emperor Brother promised to introduce his sister, Murong didn't have to worry about anything.
Murong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and then swallowed.
Seeing this, Li Youwei asked very cooperatively, "Your Highness the Princess, Youwei is new to the capital and is not familiar with many things in the capital. I hope Her Highness the Princess can give me some advice."
I really have a few things I want to say to my sister.
Murong thought for a while and said with a sincere expression. The forces in the capital are complex. Although everyone is working for the court, there are many people secretly harboring evil intentions. My sister should be more careful when looking for partners.
Can Her Royal Highness the Princess make it clear? Li Youwei said solemnly.
Walls have ears, and there are some words that I can’t quite understand.
Murong looked at the bustling second floor and said, sister, just be more careful. Of course, if you can trust me, you might as well consider the eldest grandson's family when cooperating. That is my mother's family. I can still say a few words for my sister.
of.
Li Youwei heard what the Ninth Princess said, nodded slightly and said, Youwei has remembered the princess's advice.
Okay, let’s not talk about these troublesome things. Can Sister Li tell me something about Yuzhou City? I have never been out of the capital city and I am very curious about things outside.
Having achieved his goal, Murong deliberately changed the topic and started chatting with the woman in front of him, trying to dispel her wariness as much as possible.
Sure enough, when she heard that the Ninth Princess no longer talked about cooperation, Li Youwei's face became much less nervous, and her tone became more relaxed, and she asked, "What does Your Highness Princess want to hear?"
Let’s talk about the Li Mansion. In this capital, the Li Mansion has become a legend, especially the strange things invented by the Li Mansion, which have never been heard of before. Murong said.
Li Youwei smiled and said, the princess is talking about perfume, glass and soap. This is what an old gentleman in the mansion learned when he traveled overseas in the past. The Li family is fortunate to have the help of the old gentleman so that they can
These things are manufactured.
oh?
Hearing this, Murong looked surprised and said, how did I hear that these things were invented by the third son of the Li family? Did I remember it wrong?
It's all just rumors and nonsense.
Li Youwei smiled and said, my Li family started to do perfume and soap business. My little brother is less than seven years old, how can he invent these things.
That's right.
Murong nodded, but he didn't fully believe it in his heart. Sometimes the rumors were not groundless. The third son of the Li family had too many legends. Whether it was rumors or true, he deserved the royal family's attention.
Li Youwei looked at the expressions of the nine princesses in front of her, smiled lightly, and said nothing more.
She knew why the Ninth Princess invited her here today. However, when she came to the capital, she could not avoid contact with people from the royal family. She met the Ninth Princess so that she could see how other people reacted.
Having said that, this ninth princess is indeed as rumored. She is the most beautiful woman in the country. She is definitely the most beautiful woman in Dashang. It would be great if she can marry into the Li family as the younger brother's wife.
Thinking of this, Li Youwei curved her lips into a smile, and looked at the girl in front of her with a kinder look.
However, Murong saw the woman in front of him suddenly looked at her with kindness. For some reason, his body trembled subconsciously, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
Just when Li Youwei was once again looking for a wife for her younger brother, Li Ziye, who was dealing with bandits all over the mountains and plains of Qilian Mountain, suddenly felt a shiver in his body and felt a chill on his back.
Caught up?
Li Ziye quickly looked behind him and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no sign of the bandits.
no one.
so far so good.
In other words, these bandits are becoming more and more useless, and they can't even be caught up.
Behind, about a mile away from the mountain road, more than a dozen bandits were slumped on the ground panting, almost unable to stand up.
Village leader, how did this kid become so powerful? Seven or eight of our brothers laid an ambush and didn't stop him. One of the bandits spoke up, puzzled.
That kid probably opened the divine treasure and has now become a warrior.
The bandit leader said with a gloomy face, "In short, when you meet him, you must not be alone. It is best to come together with a dozen or twenty people, otherwise, you will not be able to stop him."
OK! All the bandits nodded in agreement.
Hey, are you still chasing me?
At this time, Li Ziye, who had escaped without a shadow, actually returned the same way, stood on the rock, and shouted loudly.
Boy, don't let me catch you, or I'll definitely skin you!
When the bandit leader heard the former's provocation, his face turned red with anger and he shouted angrily.
Big guy, my ears are almost scratched by what you said. Should I chase you? If not, I will leave.
On the rock, Li Ziye stood on his waist and yelled like a shrew.
Brother, chase me!
The bandit leader was furious, gave an order, and led his men to pursue him.
Li Ziye laughed when he saw this, then turned around and continued running.
There is no way for one person to fight a group, but if someone is alone, or a group of three or five is alone, he can still consider it.
As the scorching sun went westward, behind Li Ziye, fewer and fewer people could catch up. As the sun set, the only ones who could still run were Li Ziye and the bandit leader.
Boy, do you dare to stop and have a fight with me.
Approaching the exit of the mountain forest, the bandit leader bent over and gasped for air while speaking.
Before the exit of the mountain forest, Li Ziye stopped when he heard this, turned around and looked at the bandit leader behind him, and said, a fight is not impossible, but if I win, you have to answer three questions from me.
what is the problem?
The bandit leader's expression darkened and he said.
You agree first.
Li Ziye smiled.
Okay, I agree, but you have to beat me with your skills!
Before he finished speaking, the bandit leader's eyes turned cold, he stood up and suddenly rushed forward.
In front of the exit of the mountain forest, Li Ziye was well prepared. He stepped forward and jumped out a few feet.
His elegant body movements are unprecedented, like a flying fairy, gracefully emerging from the dust.
