Chapter 392 Receiving

The prince bowed to Emperor Dong Feng while sitting on the chair.

Dong Fenghuang said anxiously, "Okay, hurry up, I'm afraid that madman will go crazy again."

The prince nodded.

Emperor Dong Feng then called the eunuchs who were guarding outside and asked them to carry the prince out. He also asked Eunuch Liu and the imperial physician to guard him in the palace.

He didn't want to stay alone in the bedroom, as he didn't feel safe at all.

"Eunuch Liu, go and summon the Queen to attend to her illness."

Eunuch Liu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress has been waiting outside the palace for a long time."

Dong Fenghuang nodded, and Eunuch Liu went out to call the empress into the bedroom, and then closed the palace door. It was unknown what the emperor and the empress talked about in the palace.

Not long after, the emperor asked Prime Minister Yang and several cabinet ministers to stay and discuss state affairs before leaving the palace.

As soon as Prime Minister Yang left the palace, he saw the prince waiting at the palace gate. He immediately stepped forward, but before he could say anything, a carriage came galloping and stopped not far in front of the two men. They looked up and saw that the two people who got off the carriage were none other than Murong Li and his wife.

When the prince saw these two people, his body trembled unconsciously and the wound on his belly began to hurt again.

Prime Minister Yang looked at the two thoughtfully. They both had excellent temperaments, a perfect match. However, when they got off the carriage and walked towards them, Prime Minister Yang hurried forward, bowed and said, "Greetings to Prince Li and Princess Li."

Murong Li waved at him and walked straight to the prince.

The prince was holding his breath, unable to utter a single word, and he dared not to. He could only bow his hands and force a smile: "Prince Li, Princess Li."

"Um."

Murong Li responded softly before asking, "Is everything ready?"

The prince nodded painfully: "I have been ready and waiting here for a long time."

In fact, the things had been prepared long ago. He asked the people from the Ministry of Revenue to deliver them directly to him. After the inn was burned down, no one knew where the two people lived. Emperor Dong Feng told him that as long as he waited at the palace gate, the two people would definitely come to find him, and sure enough, they did.

After the prince finished speaking, he took out a land deed from his arms. This was the land deed of the Qingniu Mountains, and there was also an agreement.

Murong Li took it and looked at the deed. It was stamped with the jade seal of Emperor Dong Feng, so it couldn't be fake. Then there was the agreement. It clearly stated what the compensation was and the specific amount. There was no perfunctory talk, which was very good.

He curled his lips and said, "In that case, please ask the Crown Prince to send someone to take me to the horse farm. I will leave after I pick up the horse. As for the other 10,000 taels of gold, please help me send it to the Tathagata Inn in the capital.

As for the other one million taels of gold, Prince, don't forget it. If I don't see the things on time, don't blame me then."

The prince's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. When will Prince Li set off?"

"Once we have the things, we will leave. Your Highness, it would be best if you could send someone skilled in Qing Gong to accompany me to Qingniu Pass."

"Of course. The Dongfeng Kingdom will definitely not hold Prince Li back."

The prince now understood that Murong Li used lightness skills to travel, no wonder he was so fast.

Murong Li glanced at him and said, "That's good. I'll be waiting for you at the Tathagata Inn. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he took Su Yue's hand, returned to the carriage, and then drove away.

"hateful."

The prince cursed harshly, saying that Murong Li was so arrogant that he didn't take Dongfeng Kingdom seriously.

"Your Highness, there's no need to be angry. Since Prince Li is so anxious to leave, your Highness should first take care of Prince Li's affairs."

Prime Minister Yang whispered beside the prince.

The prince understood Prime Minister Yang's intention very well. He quickly sent the plague god away so that he could proceed with his next move.

He nodded, then left quickly with Prime Minister Yang.

Murong Li and Su Yue returned to the Tathagata Inn. After speaking to the innkeeper, they went upstairs to their room. Su Yue asked Murong Li, "Did you ask them to bring the gold here?"

One million taels of gold weighs one ton, and it would take several carriages to pull it all here. Could it be that she put the gold into the space here? Wouldn't that expose her?

Murong Li patted her and said, "I'll definitely ask them to bring it here. Yue'er will wait in this inn. I'll go with them to get the horses. After the horses are received, I'll come back to pick you up, and then we'll leave the city together. After we leave the city, do you still need to worry about what to do?"

"Willn't the Emperor of East Phoenix send someone to go with us? I'm also worried about you going alone."

If Murong Li went to receive the horses alone, Emperor Dongfeng would definitely send someone to assassinate him. She didn't go with him, so she was afraid that he would suffer.

Murong Li curled his lips and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Yue'er. Just have their people wait at the Shili Pavilion outside the city. Once we've finished our business, we'll go find that person."

Su Yue said helplessly: "Okay, then let's do as you say."

At worst, let Murong Li choose some hot weapons from the space and take them with him.

Fire weapons have never been used here before, so let the people of Dongfeng Kingdom have a taste.

Murong Li rubbed her hair: "Yuer, don't worry. If they want to kill me, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so."

After the two of them had lunch, Prime Minister Yang personally delivered one million taels of gold to the inn.

Murong Li had them placed in the yard of the inn and had their men watch over them. Then he left the capital with Prime Minister Yang and went to the horse farm outside the city.

He was quite respectful to Prime Minister Yang along the way, and took him to the horse farm honestly, and personally counted out the 10,000 horses.

"Prince Li, these are ten thousand horses. I have already counted them. You can come and drive them away at any time."

Prime Minister Yang thought that Murong Li would keep the horses here and drive them away when the snow melted.

However, at that time, it was still unclear whether King Li was still alive, and it was not easy to get the horses from the East Phoenix Kingdom. Even if these horses could reach the West Phoenix Kingdom, they would definitely be useless.

Murong Li bowed to Prime Minister Yang and said, "Thank you! Let's keep these horses here for now. I'll drive them away when I have time. I'm going back to the capital to pick up my princess, and then we'll go straight back to Qingniu Pass. Also, the person you sent to Qingniu Pass to receive the hundreds of thousands of prisoners, have him wait at Shili Pavilion. I'll find him."

Prime Minister Yang's mouth twitched. Murong Li was reminding them that they were defeated.

He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I will definitely do as Prince Li says. Prince Li, please."

After Prime Minister Yang finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation.

Murong Li took a step forward.

The two hurried out of the horse farm, went down the mountain, and prepared to head towards the capital.

At this time, Prime Minister Yang said, "Prince Li, I have some matters to attend to elsewhere. If it is urgent, you may return to the city first."

Murong Li nodded at him and said indifferently, "Then I won't delay Prime Minister Yang. I will go back by myself."
