Li Garden, main hall.

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

The atmosphere is a little weird.

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

"remuneration?"

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

The only person in the world who dares to ask for reward from a prince is Professor Li.

"What kind of reward does Brother Li want? Isn't this the king's face?"

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 lot of money, it can't be seen or even touched."

Li Ziye picked up the tea cup and said rationally, "The Li family is a business family. Your Highness pays me, and I work for His Highness. I feel comfortable, and His Highness also feels at ease."

"It seems to make some sense."

Mu Qing heard the former's words and nodded thoughtfully.

Face is a thing that may or may not be useful. In fact, how much help you can get in exchange for it all depends on the mood of others.

However, if it is a business where you pay with one hand and do the work with the other hand, then it is a credibility issue.

When the Li family opened their doors for business, the last thing they wanted to do was to destroy their own sign.

"What kind of reward does Brother Li want?"

After thinking for a short time, 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 responded, "Remuneration does not depend on what I want, but on what His Highness has. I accept all things like this and don't pick and choose."

While talking, Li Ziye picked up the wooden box next to him and opened it.

In the wooden box, there are several treasures placed, such as the Pure Jun Sword, the Soul-Calming Pearl, the Yunzhi Sword, the Thunder Spirit Pearl, the Qu Nan Pearl, etc., all of which seem to be of great value.

When Mu Qing saw the pile of treasures that the former took out, his eyes immediately turned to the soul-suppressing beads in the wooden box, and his heart was involuntarily shocked.

This is?

Hunyuanzhu!

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

Across the tea table, Li Ziye saw the change in the Eleventh Prince's expression and took another sip of tea without showing any signs of it.

Sure enough, Mu Qing had seen Hunyuan Pearl.

Back then, when he and Prince Wen were in the far north, they cut out a fake Hunyuan Pearl from Ye Gui's belly, which showed that the royal family must have the authentic Hunyuan Pearl.

As for Concubine Wen, who is responsible for the night ghosts, in order to control the night ghosts easily, the real Hunyuan Pearl is most likely in her hands.

Therefore, it would not be surprising if Mu Qing and Wen Fei had a showdown and saw Hunyuan Pearl.

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

In this case, it's easy to talk about it next.

Thinking of this, Li Ziye put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Your Highness, what do you think? 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 beads in the wooden box, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and asked, "What is this bead?"

"Soul-suppressing Pearl, or Hunyuan Pearl."

Li Ziye responded calmly, "The soul-suppressing bead and the Hunyuan bead look very similar on the surface, and it is difficult to tell them apart. There are only slight differences in function. I have just obtained this bead, and I have not yet studied it clearly."

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

In order to prevent coincidence or arouse the suspicion of the eleventh prince, he placed a bunch of similar treasures such as Thunder Spirit Beads, Luminous Beads, Qu Nanzhu, etc. inside.

At the tea table, Mu Qing heard the former's inquiry, hesitated for a moment, and took out the Hunyuan Pearl from his arms.

"This is?"

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

"Given by my mother-in-law."

Mu Qing said softly, "My mother-in-law told me that my bead is called the Hunyuan Bead. From this inference, the one owned by Brother Li should be the Soul-Suppressing Bead."

"Soul Soul, Hunyuan."

Li Ziye glanced at the two beads that were almost identical, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "It looks like there is really no difference. Your Highness, do you want to sell your beads?"

"Sell it?"

Hearing this, Mu Qing looked speechless and said angrily, "What are you thinking? I just took out the Hunyuan Pearl when I saw Brother Li's soul-soothing bead. How could I sell it?" ωωw.

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

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

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

Mu Qing glanced at the former with disdain and replied, "This Hunyuan Pearl is a priceless treasure. How can I just borrow it?"

"I can exchange it for the soul-suppressing pearl, and we can exchange it back for it one day when His Highness returns to the city in triumph." 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 go on the expedition, 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-in-law. In addition, if I need it at some time in the future, Brother Li will also lend me the soul-suppressing pearl unconditionally."

"His Royal Highness Eleven is really a master of bargaining."

Li Ziye smiled bitterly and said, "I just lent the Hunyuan Pearl for a few days and got so much reward. Isn't it a bit too cruel? In the past, others called me a profiteer of the Li family, but today I finally know that His Highness is the one

A real big profiteer.”

"Oh."

Mu Qing smiled softly and said, "How about this, plus my face? It will be enough this time."

"Haha, whatever, it's a deal!"

Li Ziye responded, reached out and snatched the Hunyuan Pearl from the eleventh prince in front of him, and said, "Now, this thing is mine for the time being."

"Brother Li, be careful not to get confused."

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

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

Li Ziye said casually, "Okay, Your Highness, you can leave. I will definitely handle the things you asked me to do."

"You guy."

Mu Qing shook her head helplessly, stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first, no need to send you off."

"Definitely not sending it."

Li Ziye waved his hand and responded.

"Brother Li, why don't you create a document for me?"

Just as Mu Qing was about to turn around, she seemed to have thought of something, paused in her steps, and said with an "I don't trust you" expression on her face, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be worried."

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

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

Credibility.”

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

Mu Qing smiled, turned and left without saying anything.

In the main hall, Li Ziye stood up and looked at the eleventh prince's leaving figure, the amusement on his face disappeared.

How could you not send it?
