After a long time, Zhao Wenyi came back to his senses. Looking at Ma Biao's unfinished teacup, Zhao Wenyi smiled slightly and said: "If I had the chance, how could I give up Qinghan... No matter what, I will take this throne.
Qinghan, I will definitely get it~"
Just as Zhao Wenyi was talking to himself, a servant outside the door sent a message, saying that Wan Shanhe (Ma Xiaoquan), the Crown Prince of Shanhe of Heiqing Kingdom, the quasi-consort of the United Kingdom, was here to see him.
Recalling Ma Biao's suggestion just now, Zhao Wenyi nodded and ordered his servants to invite Wan Shanhe in.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and walked into the main hall. As he walked, he raised his hands to say hello to Zhao Wenyi. Zhao Wenyi also gave Ma Xiao some face, stood up to greet him, and also pretended to be warm and greeted him to sit down.
After the two sat down, Zhao Wenyi asked first: "The prince has come from afar, and we will be a family from now on. There is no need for the prince to be cautious. One family does not speak the same language..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Master Wenyi can think so, I am naturally happy, but I just don't know what your sister's attitude is?"
Zhao Wenyi scratched his head and said: "I really don't know this. The prince may not know. My sister rarely appears in public. I have only seen her less than ten times since I was so old."
Zhao Wenyi didn't lie. As old as he is, he has indeed met Zhao Tingting no more than ten times.
"Huh? Then don't you have no brother-sister relationship?" Ma Xiaoquan said in surprise. As soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong and quickly put on a smile.
Zhao Wenyi didn't care about Ma Xiaoquan's frankness. He admitted: "We really don't have any brother-sister relationship, but this is normal. Sister Ting has lived for more than a hundred years. In her eyes, we who are in our twenties are
My brother, I’m afraid he’s almost the same as his grandson Chun Chun Chun…”
"She really lived for more than a hundred years?" Ma Xiaoquan asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, it's more than a hundred years. Haha, the prince doesn't think Sister Ting is an old woman, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and scratched his scalp.
"Haha, no, Sister Ting is still very young, and the years don't seem to leave many traces on her. In fact, I envy her for being able to live for such a long time..."
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and shook his head to deny Zhao Wenyi's words: "No, living for such a long time and watching the people around you die one by one would be uncomfortable for anyone... I think Princess Ting must have died very early."
She used to have brothers and sisters who were the same age as her at that time, but later on, they grew old and died one by one. She may have seen too much, so she became indifferent~"
Zhao Wenyi smiled and said: "The prince understands quite well. Is it possible that the prince will not grow old?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said, "How is that possible?"
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan, who has the heart of time in his body, does not age. No one else knows this secret except Li Qinghan, Huayue and Beiming Shuangxue.
"By the way~" Zhao Wenyi reminded, "It seems that the wedding date of the Crown Prince and my sister has not been decided yet, so the Crown Prince will have to wait a little longer. I heard that the Crown Prince brought two thousand people with him when he came. Just in time, I can help
The prince wants to settle those two thousand people, but the prince needs to understand that the resettlement cannot be in vain, they have to work."
Ma Xiaoquan was looking for Zhao Wenyi for this matter. Since the other party took the initiative, Ma Xiaoquan of course used Poxia Donkey to guarantee: "Although these people of mine are a little skinny, they don't have any serious problems. If they eat the food here, they will naturally do it."
If possible, they can become soldiers of the floating city. Of course, the management rights of these people will be returned to me."
Zhao Wenyi thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid I can't make the decision to let them become soldiers of the floating city, but I have found a resettlement place for you, not far away, next to the Vulcan Cult, where a certain general used to be
The barracks are in disrepair for a long time and no one has touched them. The prince can place your people there, repair the barracks properly, and then live there~ Well, they can become the gatekeepers of the Vulcan Cult."
"Vulcan Cult? Are you talking about...oh, Vulcan Empress, Li Qinghan's Vulcan Cult?"
Zhao Wenyi nodded: "Exactly, the Vulcan Cult has recruited very few believers so far because the assessment is very strict. Although there are many people who want to join the cult, Qinghan hardly accepts them, and she goes to the Vulcan Cult every day to beg to join the cult.
There are too many people treating patients, which makes Qinghan extremely annoyed. I once proposed to help Qinghan train a team of guards so that she can be cleaner, but Qinghan didn't accept it, alas~~"
Ma Xiaoquan felt happy and thought, God help me, but at the same time he also guessed what Zhao Wenyi was thinking. This guy wanted to use his own soldiers to help Li Qinghan deal with those difficult people.
"Is Mr. Wenyi still in love with the Vulcan Empress?" Ma Xiaoquan asked, "But I heard that the Vulcan Empress, apart from being kind to believers and servants, seems to have no feelings about the relationship between men and women? Isn't it true that Mr. Wenyi is like this?
Are you afraid that your efforts will be wasted?"
Zhao Wenyi smiled bitterly and said: "Even so, I still miss her. Haha, the Crown Prince just happened to be here, and the Crown Prince also brought his own people. He must be an outsider to help the Vulcan Sect manage the guards. She should not reject Qinghan, and then
"Moreover, there are a lot of uncultivated farmland near the Vulcan Cult, and the prince can also farm there and be self-sufficient."
Ma Xiaoquan was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he was pretending: "This can work, but I am an outsider, so I'm afraid the Vulcan Empress won't agree to it, right?"
Zhao Wenyi shook his head: "No, Qinghan will definitely agree. Don't worry, I have settled the place. It is just in disrepair. You need to clean it up."
"This is easy to say, easy to say. I am so grateful to Mr. Wenyi. I, Wan Shanhe, will definitely repay you for your kindness."
"Zhao Wenyi was overjoyed and said to me that with this arrangement, as long as Qinghan agrees, I still have a chance to get close to her. Furthermore, I sold a favor to Wan Shanhe, and I will use him to control Sister Ting and put me in power in the future.
Becoming a king is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wenyi said: "Then it's settled~ I will make arrangements now, and the prince will also make arrangements to start rectification~"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay~"
.......
Inside the Palace of Vulcan.
Li Qinghan put down the book in his hand, raised his head and asked softly: "Why is it suddenly so noisy outside the hall? Is there someone else calling to join the religion or asking for medicine?"
A maid came forward and said respectfully: "To tell you what I'm saying, it's not those who have joined the religion, but many soldiers. Judging from their clothes, they should be from Blackwater City."
"Blackwater City?" Li Qinghan frowned slightly, "Are you here to marry Princess Ting?"
"It seems so~"
"Who is the consort?"
The maid thought for a while and said: "It seems to be called... yes, Wanshan River..."
With a "crash", the book in Li Qinghan's hand fell to the ground.
"Empress, what's wrong with you?"
Li Qinghan came back to his senses, smiled softly, and said: "Nothing~ Okay, you go and see those soldiers. If you have any news, come back and report to me in time."
"Yes~~"
After the maid left, Li Qinghan said bitterly: "You are really my enemy. Why do you always appear next to me every time I decide to completely sever ties with you?"
...
In the afternoon, in Ma Xiaoquan’s bedroom in another courtyard.
"Ah sneeze~" Ma Xiaoquan lay on the bed and turned over a few times. When he saw Yue'er packing his clothes in front of the desk, he asked: "Yue'er, are you from Heishui City?"
Yue'er shook her head: "No, I am from Yuxian County, Heiqing Kingdom."
"Oh, then do you have a saying that when you sneeze, someone is worried about you?"
Yue'er put down her clothes and said with a smile: "Yes~ Your Excellency sneezed just now. Is someone thinking about you?"
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head: "I don't know, but I think there is, hehe~~"
Yue'er lowered her head, rolled her eyes heavily, and thought to herself, why is Wan Shanhe so shameless? What on earth did Yang Jie like about him? Let him be the consort, I think it was better to let the prince Ling.
Come on, even though that kid has a rebellious heart, I think that kid is more pleasing to the eye.
Lifting his head, Yue'er was still smiling. Ma Xiaoquan lay down again and murmured: "I'm not lucky today. The placement of two thousand people has been solved, hehe~~"
Yue'er asked: "Master, don't you go and take a look?"
"No need, I'm here to have some good rest. I'll take a look around this floating city by the way."
"Then aren't you in a hurry to see Princess Ting?"
Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands: "Earlier, someone from above was sent down to deliver a message, saying that Your Majesty is in ill health and needs to rest for a few more days. However, Princess Ting has not sent any message to me, so I am not in a hurry. Anyway, I am already here."
Now that we are here, there is nothing we can do in such a hurry, so why not take this opportunity to wander around the floating city for a few days so that I can understand the customs and customs here."
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan wanted to go to the outskirts of the city to find Gu Qing'er, but he couldn't be so straightforward about Yue'er.
"Oh, sir, would you like Yue'er to accompany you?"
"No, you're just a little girl. How can you stay with me? I have to take care of you when you're in a hurry. It's troublesome~~"
"Well, okay then~~"
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan went out alone. He first went to inspect the soldiers' garrison. After confirming that Zhang Youcai was able to supervise the work, he wandered toward the outskirts of the city.
In fact... people were already staring at Ma Xiaoquan when he went out. Ma Xiaoquan naturally knew it, but he did not intend to get rid of those people at the beginning. With his current clothes, he was too recognizable.
Secondly, if you get rid of him too quickly, it may arouse the other party's alert, so next time, there will definitely be more monitors than this time.
When he arrived at the soldiers' garrison, Ma Xiaoquan inspected it first, and then quietly asked Zhang Youcai to find him some soldier's clothes.
