There was no trace of panic in Li Huaijin's eyes. He couldn't reveal that he was a time traveler, as the ancients would only find it weird.

If the news leaked out, others might mistake it for some evil spirit, and I would be in trouble. I smiled and said:

“Luoyang has good feng shui”

Gu Wenxuan did not ask any more questions, he knew that Li Huaijin had his reasons for saying this: "Okay, I'll do it right away"

Li Huaijin tapped his fingers on the documents and stammered:

"Wenxuan, do you have any money? Lend me some first."

When Gu Wenxuan heard him calling him by his first name instead of his last name, he knew he must be asking for something, so he pretended to be surprised, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and was about to go out with the wine jug in hand:

"You have so much gold, why do you still ask me to lend you money?"

Li Huaijin raised his thick eyebrows and snorted coldly: "If you don't want to lend it, then go back to Chang'an and don't follow me."

Gu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, turned around and said jokingly:

"King Liang, you have no engagement with her, and you are so henpecked that you left all your money and troops to her. You survived and injured your leg for her, but they still didn't tell you where the Flame Killing Army is."

"You don't even want some loose change?"

"Look at your achievements. You are so high and mighty to us, but you don't kneel down to her every day, do you?"

"I really don't know how you usually coax her. Why don't you just continue to coax her for some money in your own way?"

Li Huaijin listened to his words and remembered that Mu Jinan said that day that she had kept a lover and wanted him to kneel in front of the bed to bathe her and undress her.

He suddenly felt some pain in his knees. Would he really have to kneel down to serve in the future?

Seeing Gu Wenxuan's frivolous look and mocking tone, Li Huaijin's eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, and he said only one word:

"roll"

Gu Wenxuan shrugged and smiled: "I am doing this to improve the relationship between the two of you. I want her to know your difficulties and feel sorry for you. Don't be angry."

Li Huaijin crossed his arms across his chest, smiling slightly:

"How can I take back what I gave her? That was her money."

Gu Wenxuan had no choice but to give him the purse. He walked out of the tent and saw Mu Jinan standing in the snow in the distance, talking to Meiluo. He shook his head:

"Li Huaijin was undoubtedly killed by her."

Gu Wenxuan often suspected that the current Li Huaijin was not the same person as before, and thought to himself:

"When he was young, he was not so soft-hearted. He often beat people and whipped them with a whip. He was also very protective of his food. Now he actually gives all his money to women."

"But he is still cruel and vicious now, and is only gentle to Princess Mu. I am overthinking it."

He felt something strange, but couldn't tell why. He frowned and thought, muttering to himself:

"Maybe it's because I grew up, learned etiquette, after all, I was only five or six years old at that time."

He rode towards the distant camp and saw Chuhe chieftain Yelu Chang entering the tent of Xi King Li Yuanyang. He wondered:

"Hasn't this old man been fighting for the throne with Li Yuanyang? Why would he go to his tent?"

Inside the tent of King Xi.

Li Yuanyang sat in the middle seat at the top, with Qi King Li Jie, Youzhou Jiedushi Shi Siming, and Chuhe tribe chieftain Yelu Chang sitting on both sides.

Qiqige was pouring tea for them. Yelu Chang liked to drink green brick tea, while Li Jie and Shi Siming preferred bowl tea. Li Yuanyang signaled her to leave.

Unable to see the intention in Li Yuanyang's eyes, he spoke first:

"Prince Qi, An Xuan has been harassing our two clans for a long time. Now he just sends a little girl away and says she is a princess. I have been in Chang'an for many years. Dugu Jingle and Princess Yifang are not real princesses."

"The emperor is fooling you and doesn't take our two tribes seriously."

"We were of the same race a hundred years ago, so we should unite as an alliance and face the enemy head-on. We should not let the emperor of the Central Plains ride on our heads."

King Li Jie of Qi stroked his beard. He had long wanted to rebel. His ancestors were brave and mighty heroes of the grassland, but now they only had a piece of land.

He felt that if he continued to tolerate it, he would be bullied by Sheng Kingdom and would not be able to stand up. However, among the three forces now, who would be the leader? This was related to his future enthronement and could not be ambiguous.

He did not take Li Yuanyang seriously. At present, his tribe, wealth, military strength, population and territory were much stronger than Li Yuanyang's. How could he be willing to let Li Yuanyang become king in the future?

Li Jie's eyes showed a hint of alienation and indifference, and he used words to confuse them. He also wanted to see if Li Yuanyang was sincere in forming an alliance with him:

"Emperor Sheng, Emperor Ming has abdicated. Perhaps this Emperor Su is a wise ruler. I have no intention of attacking Youzhou at the moment."

Shi Siming glanced at Li Yuanyang. Without him opening the gates of Youzhou, the rebellion of the two tribes would be suppressed in a short time. He had an army of 200,000, and the throne could only be his.

He took a sip of tea, which had a rich aroma and was brewed at just the right temperature. He slowly put down the bowl, wanting to gain benefits from both sides. He pretended to withdraw from the future competition for the throne, and waited until he successfully captured Chang'an with the borrowed troops and then killed the two men.

The Great Yan Kingdom that he had always dreamed of should be established in the former imperial capital of Luoyang. This was what he had heard An Xuan say. Now that An Xuan is dead, it is his turn to take the stage.

He looked very humble:

"I am not as rich and prosperous as the two princes, and I am ready to serve you at any time. You can just make me a prime minister in the future."

Li Yuanyang looked at Shi Siming, the old fox. He did not support him to be the leader, but was neutral. He knew that Qi was better than Xi in every aspect, and he was worried:

"If I give in now, there will be no room for maneuver in the future."

The atmosphere became cold, and Yelu Chang on the side suddenly laughed:

"In my humble opinion, the outcome will be clear on the battlefield, there is no need to make a conclusion now."

Li Yuanyang also thought that this proposal was acceptable. He wanted to put this matter on hold for now, but he had to make King Qi Li Jie believe him. There was no trace of calculation in his clear eyes:

"King Qi, how about you be crowned emperor in the north of Luoyang and I be crowned emperor in the south of Luoyang in the future? What do you think?"

Yelu Chang nodded, then smiled and agreed:

"The south is a land of miasma and the military is weak. The land north of Luoyang is my king's sincerity to you."

"My king, if you can subdue Beishiwei, defeat King He, fight in Liangzhou, pass Yumen, and pacify Xizhou, you will definitely go down in history as the overlord of the grassland. Wouldn't that be a great thing?"

King Qi Li Jie looked at him with kind eyes and the demeanor of an elder. He was indeed somewhat tempted, but it was only a few words to say, but it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to do it. He curled his lips and smiled:

"Please allow me to think about it again."

Li Jie remembered that Mu Jinan had killed his beloved horse, and he felt indignant. His eyes turned evil, and before he left, he asked:

"That little princess is pretty. If King Xi gives up on her, I will spend the wedding night with you. How about that?"

Li Yuanyang was suddenly shocked. It was not that he did not want to give the crazy princess to Li Jie, but he was afraid that she would stab Li Jie to death with a knife.

He had promised Mu Jinan to let Sun Jingqi kill King Qi, but he wanted to keep Li Jie and wait for the borrowed troops to arrive in Raole before proceeding according to his plan. He didn't trust anyone!

Li Yuanyang said somewhat embarrassedly:

"King Qi, why don't I keep her? After we form an alliance, I will tie her to your bed."

King Qi Li Jie snorted coldly and left, and Shi Siming followed him.

Yelu Chang was the only one left in the tent. Li Yuanyang pretended to be kind and just wanted to feed all the Fu Yuxiang into his mouth. He smiled and said:

"Sir Yelu, I have only been on the throne for a short time. You are highly respected. I hope you can give me more advice. In the future, besides me, you will be the most honorable prince."

How could Yelu Chang not see through the young man's mind? He pretended to be respectful and said:

"Your Majesty, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

I cursed in my heart: "You are just like your father, both are fools."
