Li Yuanyang left the king's tent in a rage. Mu Jinan's tense breath relaxed. Li Huaijin, who was standing far away, relaxed his clenched fists.

A man about twenty years old approached Li Yuanyang. He had a gentle face and was from the Ahui tribe. He was also his new follower and adviser, named Batu Yue.

Seeing that Li Yuanyang looked unhappy, Batu Yue stepped forward:

"King, the King of Qi was poisoned by the princess' assassins. With such a good opportunity, the poison could be even more serious."

Li Yuanyang looked at his handsome features and vicious mind and laughed heartily:

"Let King Saccolus stay longer"

Batu Yue had been with Li Yuanyang for a few days. He was eager to make achievements and often came up with some vicious ideas. He continued:

"King, Yelu Chang must be eliminated"

Li Yuanyang waved his sleeves. In his mind, Yelu Chang was still useful at the moment. He had just given Shi Si hundreds of thousands of silver taels. Yelu Chang was good at business. He patted Batu Yue on the shoulder:

"What's the point of a lamb? Let it be fattened before it's slaughtered."

Batuyue immediately understood what he meant, and agreed with a smile, then thought of something else:

"King, you must kill the assassin next to the princess."

Li Yuanyang looked from afar. The young man was dressed in black clothes and was nine feet tall. The light of the snow-capped mountains behind him enveloped his body, as if a god was protecting him.

The young man was fearless, only for his wife, Li Huaijin smiled faintly.

The two people looked at each other from a distance, close yet far, far yet close.

Li Yuanyang smiled confidently: "His legs may be crippled."

Batuyue accompanied Li Yuanyang and walked away: "It's Sakko who is treating him."

Li Yuanyang blocked a ray of bright light with his fingers and looked at the Saker Falcon hovering in the sky:

"Going to do something"

Batu Yue then left, only to see Mu Yun approaching from a distance. She was very beautiful today, looking at Li Yuanyang:

"Meet the King of Xi"

Li Yuanyang raised her hand. As sisters, she was proud and caring about the world, while her sister was full of filth. He understood everything.

"Mu Yun, what's the matter?"

Mu Yun moved a little closer to him, and whether it was intentional or unintentional, she gave him a seductive look:

"King Xi, I will help you conquer the world, and you will help me imprison King Rui, how about that?"

Li Yuanyang laughed loudly, put an arm around her shoulders, and held her in his arms:

"This King knows whether you have the ability to do so."

Mu Yun hooked her slender fingers around his belt and placed one hand on his chest:

"King Xi, the strongest man on the grassland is the Khan of the Yuhe tribe, King He. He has a son, Prince Gejiang. If he can help you, King Qi is nothing to you."

She wanted the clan that would help Emperor Su in the future to turn around and attack Emperor Su. All the warriors and cavalry of the grassland would form an alliance with the historian of Youzhou, and Chang'an would undoubtedly fall.

Li Yuanyang felt that what she said made some sense, but he knew that Emperor Su had married Xianli and had also conferred the title of Princess of Dunhuang on her. He and Ge Jiang had no friendship at all:

"Ge Jiang will not form an alliance with this king"

Mu Yun drew circles around his heart intentionally or unintentionally with her fingers and looked up at him:

"Prince Xi doesn't know that Ge Jiang loves Prince Rui. Prince Rui is here, he will come."

Li Yuanyang stroked her cheek with one hand, thinking that it would be nice if the little princess could be as obedient and gentle to him, and kissed her lips:

"I will invite Ge Jiang to come and have fun"

Mu Yun continued: "I wonder if the King of Xi can be on good terms with the Shuofang Jiedushi. They should not be underestimated."

Li Yuanyang's originally relaxed expression immediately became serious. This woman seemed to be really capable. He curled his lips and smiled:

"My wife is beautiful and intelligent, but she doesn't want to consummate the marriage with me. Why don't you do it for her?"

Mu Yun's wrist climbed up his neck, and the fragrance of rouge spread on his cheek:

"The child I have with King Xi will be smarter"

Li Yuanyang felt that there was no way to refuse the chess piece that was placed in front of him. He picked her up and walked towards the king's tent.

Mu Yun hugged his neck, smiling charmingly, thinking in her heart:

"Men have three wives and four concubines, why should women remain chaste? Now that you are here, enjoy it."

Li Heng stood in the distance, looking lonely. His steps were heavy. He slowly turned around and turned his back.

Mu Jinan was resting at her desk when she heard footsteps approaching. She looked up and saw Li Yuanyang carrying Mu Yun into the king's tent.

Li Yuanyang gently placed Mu Yun on the couch and unbuttoned two buttons. Mu Jinan was stunned. Wasn't the person Mu Yun liked Li Heng? What did she mean by this? Why was she changing so drastically?

Mu Jinan's ears flushed, and he stood up quickly:

"What are you doing? Get out right now!"

Li Yuanyang was dissatisfied and tore open Mu Yun's clothes. He looked back at Mu Jinan, as if deliberately provoking her:

"Princess, do you want to stand here and watch?"

Mu Jinan took a quick step, pulled out his dagger and put it against Li Yuanyang's waist:

"We have trade to discuss today, so please put on your clothes."

She looked at Mu Yun and scolded, "Get out! Don't embarrass our Mu family!"

Seeing that she looked a little crazy, Mu Yun had no choice but to put on her clothes and leave the king's tent.

Li Yuanyang stood up slowly, looked at the dagger, suppressed his anger, drank a sip of tea, and sat in front of the couch with a nonchalant look:

"Princess, have you seen the gift I gave you?"

Mu Jinan put his fingers on his temples: "I didn't see it"

Li Yuanyang suddenly laughed out loud, his eyes hiding an unfathomable emotion:

“No wonder”

After a while, Shi Si and Yelu Chang came to the king's tent and discussed the matter of trade.

Shi Si glanced at Mu Jinan and saw that she looked calm. There was no resentment in her eyes as she looked at him, as if she had completely forgotten what happened that day.

Mu Jinan spoke first: "Previously, merchants were charged a high transit tax for trading horses. This policy needs to be revised."

Shi Si was unwilling to do so. Sixty percent of the transit tax would go into his pocket, which would be a guarantee of income for him to recruit soldiers and horses. He said in an unhappy tone:

"Princess, the transit tax was set by the Emperor himself when he was in power. How can you change it at will? Without the Emperor's decree and the documents from Chang'an, how can you change it without authorization?"

Mu Jinan ignored him and continued:

"Cancel the transit tax and only charge 2% of the value when the goods are sold"

Yelu Chang took up his pen to record. When he heard this, he smiled instantly. If this was true, he could save a lot of money. However, without Emperor Su, the princess' words would not count. He asked in confusion:

"Princess, is what you said possible?"

There was no trace of smile in Mu Jinan's eyes. Being in the same place with these people, he felt that the air was filthy. He wanted to end it as soon as possible, so he continued:

"Previously, only weapons, cattle and horses were traded. Anyone who brought prohibited items through the customs would be charged with corruption."

"Now brocade, satin, gauze, cotton, silk, cloth, gold, silver and other miscellaneous items are allowed to be exported."

Li Yuanyang's hand holding the wine cup suddenly loosened. If so, he would no longer have to pay tribute to Chang'an with famous horses and minks, and then wait for the emperor to reward him with silk, brocade, silverware, etc.

This makes things a lot more convenient. He listened carefully with a look of joy on his face.

Shi Si clenched his fists. If that was the case, how could he seize the horses and money from both sides without anyone noticing? He said angrily:

"Princess, you are acting on your own initiative. Does the Emperor agree?"
