Chapter 3 Titled King of the Free and Easy
The gentinal sandalwood beams, crystal jade bi, and fan golden pillar foundations in the hall are lifelike, facing the phoenix in the palace.
Because of Li Bai's warning, the empress gave up her plan to attack the Western Regions. Prince Qi Yuan and Princess Loulan held a banquet in the palace, and the whole country celebrated.
Year 728 of Yan Li—
The death of the former emperor was over, and the crown prince Qi Yuan officially ascended the hall to inherit the throne. He sat on a high position and announced a new policy of governing the country. After some rectification, all civil and military officials in the court were all loyal ministers, and the entire court was full of righteousness.
When commending the meritorious ministers of the Tianlang Kingdom, Qi Yuan proposed to appoint Li Bai as a nobleman of a different surname. The officials were convinced by him, but no one opposed giving the fief to foreigners from other countries. Instead, they supported the new emperor's decision.
Qi Yuan was about to draw an order, but the eunuch outside submitted a letter with Li Bai's handwriting.
"Brother Qi, after receiving this letter, I have returned to the Mercenary City. Everything is fine, and there is no need to worry. Brother Qi has the right to govern the country. When the Western Regions prospers, I will definitely visit you."
"I'm looking forward to that day,"... Qi Yuan murmured to himself. With a big stroke, he gave Li Bai the title of King Xiaoyao and summoned the world. In the Guyue Dynasty, Li Bai's deeds have long been known, one passing through ten, ten passing through hundreds.

Han Xin, the young lord of Mercenary City, is the talented legitimate son of the family. He could have enjoyed his life with wealth and glory, but the soldiers of the Guyue Dynasty only knew it.
The man who went to the meeting alone like a hero and was brave and good at fighting at a young age, the title of "Young City Lord of Mercenary City" has never been hereditary.
In the current peaceful and prosperous era, there are no bandits, and Han Xin is still leisurely.
On the back mountain of the Mercenary City, there is a peach blossom forest with twisted branches and swaying spears in the wind. The sky is raining, as if it is a different world. The two under the pavilion are playing chess leisurely.
"The Green Lotus Sword Immortal...Xiaoyao King...is a happy congratulation."
Han Xin said, but his eyes were chaotic and complicated, and after a moment he took the chess and fell.
"I won..."
"Huh?" Li Bai seemed to have not reacted yet. He held his forehead and had a headache for the game: "Why have I never beat you when I play chess!"
Han Xin took a sip of tea and put it in a new round and smiled: "You are surrounded by chaos in the world, so you are no more than me, a person who is as contented as you like. You can naturally understand the quiet mind."
Before he finished speaking, a mercenary walked in and clasped his fists and said, "Young master, a woman outside the city asked for a name to see you."
"I understand, you go down first."
Li Bai patted his shoulder with a smile on his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be about to overflow: "Go with the situation..."
There was something clearly in this sentence, and Han Xin sighed helplessly. For a year, people come to ask for a meeting every day, either the matchmaker comes to propose marriage or the woman comes to see her reputation.
Speaking of this, Han Xin was already famous when he was young. The key is that his elder brother Li Bai wrote in his many poems that he was as beautiful as Wei Jie and was a young hero, so more people came here to see him.
Outside the city was covered with yellow sand, and the black cloak covered the girl's face. Her figure was weakened, as if she was about to be blown down by the wind at any time.
In order to prevent the hat on her head from being blown away, she pulled it hard with her hands, and saw a silver bracelet on her hands, which were as delicate as skin.
"I have seen the young city lord..." Seeing Han Xin coming over, the woman stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"No need to be polite, what's the girl?" Seeing the woman's outfit seemed to be asking for him, but she didn't want to reveal her identity.
"I heard that the young city lord and the miraculous doctor Bian Que are friends with each other."
“It’s right”
"A few years ago, I was rescued by him but I never personally thanked me. I went to the Gentiles to get some precious medicinal herbs and wanted to give them to my benefactor in person to express my gratitude. Can the young city lord take me to the Misty Valley?" The girl explained her purpose one by one.
Han Xin has always been willing to help, so he responded
With a pounce, a white pigeon flew down. Han Xin caught it with his hand, and the flying pigeon passed on a letter.
After glanced at the note brought by the pigeon, Han Xin frowned and then smiled apologetically: "Miss, I'm so sorry. My father wants me to go back to Chang'an, I'm afraid..."
The girl seemed very disappointed, and she slowly lowered her head.
"But girl, don't worry, there's one person who will take you there." Han Xin's face flashed a smile, and he pointed to a path in the Mercenary City.
"Follow this road and turn left after passing the lotus pond. There is a door at the end. Open the door. The person in the Peach Blossom Forest Pavilion will take you there."
A mercenary came over with a horse, Han Xin took the rope and turned to the mercenary.
"Go and get my Dragon Roar Spear!"
"yes!"
After the mercenary ran away, the girl hurriedly handed Han Xin a box: "Thank you, the young city lord, the young city is mainly back to Chang'an, but you can hand this thing over to Wang Zhaojun. I am not very grateful."
Do you know Wang Zhaojun, a famous dancer in the Guyue Dynasty? It seems that her identity is not simple.
"No problem, a small matter." Han Xin didn't ask much, took the dragon roar gun and rode his horse away, and headed straight for Chang'an.
After hearing the order, the mercenary did not stop the mysterious girl. She walked along the bluestone road. The lotus leaves were green in spring, and a few goldfish were playing among the lotus. The picture presented was like a scroll. Daji stayed for a while before continuing to move forward.
Compared to the lotus pond and peach blossom season, the one behind the door is more fascinating.
The boy in the pavilion savored the tea carefully, and the fallen flowers were colorful. Under the gap between the petals, a few rays of sunshine outlined the man's perfect side face. His eyebrows were low, just looking at the chess game that had not been played in front of him.
Looking at the familiar face, the girl's heart beat wildly. No matter how long it took, the feeling of heartbeat never diminished.
"Who!" Li Bai noticed the strange aura approaching, and his cold eyes looked in the direction of the girl.
The girl was a little unsteady, but slowly calmed down her emotions. She clenched her hands and walked forward, lifted her black cloak and said, "My name is Daji, I have seen the young master."
She is charming and charming, and she is like a fairy in the mountains and fields, and her smile is even more charming and charming than this peach blossom.
Li Bai, who was favored by the stubborn emperor of Xuanyue Kingdom, continued to look at the chess game indifferently.
"You are the one who assassinated the foolish monarch..."
"That's right".
——————————————
Chang'an City is as hustle and bustle as ever. This time, Han Xin received his father's order as an important commission. In order to show his sincerity in peace, the Qinglong Kingdom and the Qiaofeng Kingdom presented each other with national treasures.
The national treasure is priceless and related to the peace and friendship between the two countries. My father cannot get rid of his important matters, so he can only leave it to Han Xin to complete this task.
What the two countries attach the most importance to is etiquette and rituals, so the people of the two countries have spread the word of gifts to each other.
The mercenary group guard captain walked in front on a horse, and Han Xin sat in the sedan chair.
As soon as he arrived at the center of Chang'an Street, he was surrounded and the team could no longer move forward. Except for the people watching the fun, most of them were admiring girls. Han Xin was sitting in the sedan chair and thought of a solution.
