Chapter 821 Too many people have forgotten that child

"Master, I have only found out that several tribes including Desert, Desolate, Northern Frontier and Loulan have signed contracts with Gu Shuo, so I guess that the Shuiyuan tribe may have also signed some kind of contract with the Gu family." The guard reported.

A hint of doubt flashed in Xiliuyuan's indifferent eyes. Except for a few places in Loulan, other ethnic groups did not trade at all.

Even if Xiyan couldn't develop business in those places, why did the Gu family choose remote ethnic groups?

Do they want to build a second Nanyuan?

"Desert, barrenness. Representatives of several tribes in the northwest took a lot of seeds in the car when they left. Your subordinates took some." The hidden guard placed the seeds wrapped in cloth in his arms on the table.

Xiliuyuan reached out and took a small seed. Looking at it carefully, he recognized some of them as melon and fruit seeds, while others he couldn't tell for a moment.

"Take these seeds back to Xiyan and have them planted."

"Yes." The hidden guard received the order.

Xiliuyuan turned his head and looked into the distance, his eyes falling in the direction of Xianhai Tower.

The seeds that Nanyuan took back then were very strange. This time they chose to cooperate with the desert tribes. Are they just trying to help them get out of poverty?

Are you really not pursuing any ulterior motive after all this effort?

If there is a plan, what could there be in these barren deserts where no grass grows and the ethnic groups are remote?

He was a little confused.

Beili Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

The Emperor of Beili was discussing the drought in the north with several officials.

Eunuch Li came in, holding a letter in his hands: "Your Majesty, this is an expedited letter from Lord Li Mu."

"Present it." Emperor Beili's voice sounded more powerful than it did ten years ago.

Eunuch Li presented the letter.

Emperor Beili opened the letter and glanced at its contents. When he saw the first page, his brows lit up with joy and he was extremely pleased.

"It seems that the contract between Lord Li and Nan Yuan is about to be concluded." When Prime Minister Gao saw the smile on the emperor's face, he guessed the reason.

"Hahahaha, that's right, Li Mu is indeed a business genius. Nanyuan has completely terminated the contract with Gu Shuo, and the next ten years will be cooperation with us Beili." The Beili Emperor laughed.

"Master Li is really capable."

"The cooperation between Nanyuan Aquatic Products and Beili is a wise choice."

Several adults present began to brag upon hearing this.

Emperor Beili couldn't stop smiling. He turned the first page and saw the content of the next page. His happy expression suddenly disappeared and his face gradually became shocked, and finally disbelief.

The officials who saw this scene were terrified. Their smiles immediately disappeared and their expressions became tense, for fear that they would get into trouble by accident.

"Ye Qianning." Emperor Beili subconsciously called out the name in horror.

Ye Qianning?

Several adults looked at each other, who was Ye Qianning?

In the past ten years, too many people have forgotten that child...

Only when Prime Minister Gao heard the name, the surprise in his eyes was no less than that of Emperor Beili. He was horrified and confused in his heart, wondering why the emperor suddenly mentioned Ye Qianning's name.

The child had been dead for ten years, and her name was a taboo in the palace back then.

"Ye Qianning is she still alive...?" After reading the letter, Emperor Bei Li's fingers holding the letter trembled slightly, and his face was gloomy and horrified.

Prime Minister Gao's heart sank, his eyes widening in horror: "Ye Qianning... is still alive? How is it possible...?"

The other three officials present pondered for a while and also remembered the name Ye Qianning.

The daughter that Xiang Minghou found ten years ago was very famous in Kyoto City at that time, but... she had died ten years ago.
