"Of course I want to do business with the Fourteenth Master." Li Qi said with a smile.
"Business? Your down jacket is now known to the whole city. What else do you want to do with me?" Nalan Jin said with a smile.
"The Fourteenth Master doesn't know something. I am indeed the number one in the snow capital in this down jacket business, but recently many down jacket shops have popped up. I can't stand in the way of people's money, so I want to work with you.
The Fourteenth Master cooperated to find a new way." Li Qi said.
"Then tell me how to find a new way." Nalan Jin looked at Li Qi with interest and said.
"I want to monopolize the down jacket business in the palace. In the future, my down jackets and furs will be directly supplied to the palace. Of course, if you want to do business in the palace, you must have a backer. If not, I will find you, the Fourteenth Master.
Well..."
Li Qidao: "I wonder if Master Fourteen is interested in cooperating with me?"
After Nalan Jin heard this, he thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You are still the first businessman to come to me for business... What you said is not impossible, but..."
"Don't worry, Fourteenth Master, you will take the majority of this business, I just need to drink some soup."
Nalan Jin waved his hand and said: "That's not what I meant, but if I support you, I'm afraid that my brother will target you."
"Oh?" Li Qi looked confused.
Nalan Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Li, it's not surprising that you don't know some things. My father has fifteen children, four of whom are sons. My eldest brother is in charge of the black oil away from home all year round, and my second brother is doing nothing and spending all his time drinking and drinking.
…As for my third brother, he is one year older than me and has now become a leader in the army. As the youngest prince, my father has great expectations for me, but my third brother doesn’t like me very much.”
Li Qi nodded and thought: Damn it, the Emperor of the Snow Country is really capable of giving birth to so many children, and he is not afraid of not being able to name them all.
"Some time ago, my third brother was going to intercept Daxia's grain and grass, but it failed. I obeyed my mother's orders and repaid him in front of my father. He was unwilling to accept it. If I did anything, he would definitely do the same.
They will find fault with me."
Nalan Jin did not shy away from Li Qi at all, and explained the cause and effect frankly and honestly.
During his time in Snow Capital, Li Qi also gained a general understanding of the people here.
As long as they are from the Snow Country, they are generally more outspoken and straightforward. As long as they recognize you as a friend, they will not hide anything from you.
Speaking of which, Li Qi felt comfortable dealing with people from the Snow Country during this period. After all, there were not so many intrigues.
"Is this why the Fourteenth Master doesn't want to cooperate with me?" Li Qi said.
Nalan Jin nodded.
"Master Fourteen just said that your third brother..."
Nalanjin corrected Li Qi: "You have to call me Ninth Prince or Ninth Master."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Master Jiu... Master Jiu went to ambush Daxia's grain and grass team before? I don't know when it was?"
Nalan Jin said: "About a month ago, in Xuefeng Valley, I surrounded everyone, but in the end, I still failed. This incident made him extremely angry..."
Speaking of this, Nalan Jin seemed to have thought of something: "By the way, it is said that the other party's commander also has the same surname as you. What is Li Qi? Do you know him?"
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "I am just a businessman. How can I know people in the army? Moreover, I have been in the Snow Country for these years and rarely go back to Daxia."
"That's true. After all, there are many people named Li in Daxia," Nalan Jin said.
Li Qi thought to himself: Grandma's is indeed that guy. Unexpectedly, the other person is still a prince.
Li Qi also felt a little frightened when he thought about the previous breakout in the valley. After all, many people were killed and injured that time.
If he hadn't used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, he might have really been trapped there.
"Since it's inconvenient for the Fourteenth Master, let's forget it." Li Qi cupped his fists and said.
"If you want to do business in the palace, I have a suitable person to recommend to you." Nalan Jin said.
"Who?" Li Qi asked.
"My imperial sister, Nalan Rong." Nalan Jin said, "Last time, some of the clothes you brought to the palace were given to my imperial sister by your mother. She liked them very much. He even came to see me last time.
, and asked if I could customize some more for him. I think, if I were to introduce you, she would be the perfect choice for your business."
Hearing this, Li Qi said happily: "Thank you very much, Master Fourteenth!"
As he spoke, Li Qi took out a piece of jade that he had prepared. This piece of jade was given to him when he was escorting grain and grass. Because it was small and exquisite, he kept it with him.
He also went to the jade merchants in Snow City to appraise this jade a few days ago. It is worth a lot of money. It is estimated that it can be sold for several thousand taels in Daxia, but in this snow country, the price may be doubled.
"This is a little bit of my heart. I hope the Fourteenth Master doesn't dislike it." Li Qi handed over the jade and said.
Nalan Jin took it over and took a look at it: "You are quite willing to give it up? This jade is not cheap, right?"
"No, the jade is a gift to the hero. It would be a waste to keep this jade next to me. Only by keeping it next to the Fourteenth Master can its value be realized." Li Qi flattered him.
"Brother Li is truly a businessman, and he is always good at talking. That's fine, I'll accept it. When my sister and I make an appointment, I'll have someone notify you," Nalan Jin said.
"Okay! Thank you very much, Master Fourteen. Then I will take my leave."
Li Qi left Nalanjin's mansion, returned to his residence, and immediately found Tang Yun and Wei Xinshan.
"Have the new clothes come out?" Li Qi asked.
Wei Xinshan said: "It's already been done."
"Okay, prepare a few pieces for me when the time comes, and I'll take them to give away." Li Qi said.
"To whom?" Tang Yun asked.
Li Qi told him about his meeting with Nalanrong. Tang Yun heard this and said, "Does the young master really want to do business in the palace?"
Li Qidao: "It's not that I want to do business in the palace, but when I came here, Huang Jin told me that people from the Gaoyun tribe have defected to the Snow Kingdom. We have been in the Snow City for so long and have never met anyone from the Gaoyun tribe.
What does this mean?"
Tang Yun shook his head.
"It means people from the Gaoyun tribe must be in the palace." Li Qi said.
Wei Xinshan asked in confusion: "Brother Li, what do you want from the Gaoyun tribe?"
Li Qi said thoughtfully: "I just want to confirm something."
"What's up?"
"Why is our march route so clear to the Snow Country? Who is on this intelligence line?" Li Qi said slowly.
In fact, Li Qi had suspected before that it was Lu Jinshuang or Lu Fei who leaked the information?
After all, these two people are in the palace, so it is not very difficult to get this information.
As long as you find out these things, it will be equivalent to grasping Concubine Lu's handle. When the time comes to return to the palace, you will no longer be afraid of her!
