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 has been admiring Sister Li's reputation for a long time. When he learned that 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, you are so polite. It is your honor to be summoned by Your 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 to my princess's residence to stay for a few days? I'm outside the palace."
I haven’t stayed in the mansion for a long time, and 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 with a calm expression.
"Well, that's a pity."
Murong had a look of regret on his face, but he quickly recovered as before and said with a smile, "Forget it, Sister Li is in the capital anyway. 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 we were in Yuzhou City, His Highness mentioned three families to the Li family: the Changsun Family, the Merchant Alliance, and the Yin Family Bank. His Highness said he would help introduce them, but we haven't been able to meet them yet," Li Youwei said.
"Business Alliance, Yin's Bank."
Murong murmured softly, and a stream 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 Brother Three Emperors has promised to introduce me to my sister, Murong won'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 Princess, Youwei is new to the capital and is not familiar with many things in the capital. I hope your Highness the Princess can give you a few pointers."
"I do 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 imperial court, there are many people secretly harboring evil intentions. Sister, it is better to be careful when looking for partners."
"Your Highness, can you make it clear?" Li Youwei said solemnly.
"Walls have ears, and there are some things I can't say clearly."
Murong looked at the bustling second floor and said, "Sister, just be 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."
Words."
Li Youwei listened to the ninth princess's words, nodded slightly, and said, "Youwei has remembered the princess's advice."
"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things. Sister Li, can you tell me some things about Yuzhou City? I have never been out of the capital, 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, her tone became more relaxed, and she said, "What do you want to hear, Your Highness?"
"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, colored glaze 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. Only then can we
Make these things."
"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."
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. Rumors were sometimes not groundless. The third son of the Li family had too many legends. Whether it was rumors or truth, he was worthy of 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, but when she came to the capital, she could not avoid contact with people from the royal family. After meeting the Ninth Princess, she could also 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.
"Catching 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.
Not bad, not bad.
In other words, these bandits are becoming more and more useless, and they can't even be caught up.
Behind them, about a mile away from the mountain road, a dozen bandits were slumped on the ground panting, almost unable to stand up.
"Fortress leader, how did this kid become so powerful? Seven or eight of our brothers laid an ambush and didn't even 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."
"Okay!" 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, otherwise I will definitely skin you!"
When the bandit leader heard the former's provocation, his face turned red with anger and he shouted angrily.
"Big man, my ears are almost scratched by what you said. Should I chase you? If not, I will leave."
On the rock, Li Ziye had his hands 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 breath while speaking.
Before the exit of the mountain forest, Li Ziye stopped after hearing 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's the problem?"
The bandit leader's expression darkened and he said.
"Promise 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.
To be continued...
