Chapter 31: A Thought Across the Mountains



As expected, Jin Meiniang got up early the next morning and left for the State of Li.

When Li Huashi woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Now Li Huashi and Jin Meiniang are partners. Although the Jinsha Tower outside the Li Kingdom has nothing to do with her and she does not share any profits, Li Huashi does not need to spend any money to play here.

Anyway, in Jin Meiniang's opinion, Li Huashi doesn't drink and has bad luck in gambling, so her daily spending in Jinshalou is nothing at all.

However, after living in such a dark and gloomy way for a while, Li Huashi herself became tired of it and found it boring.

So after playing for a few days, Li Huashi also left.

The previous porridge distribution was quite effective, and Li Huashi rarely encountered any refugees along the way.

Except for that stubborn kid last time.

Li Huashi saw him kneeling on the side of the road begging alone. She walked over to him with a smile, fanning herself with a smile, and squatted in front of him.

"Eh? Kid, weren't there a lot of refugees here before? Why are you the only one here now?"

Little beggar: "Some time ago, a kind-hearted gentleman gave us some money and asked us to go to the Kingdom of Li to find a way out."

Li Huashi: "Then why didn't you go? Do you like begging?"

The little beggar always felt that the sarcastic tone of the woman in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen her.

The little beggar glanced at Hu Qi who was guarding not far behind Li Huashi.

He recognized Hu Qi as the person who was with the young man who gave out porridge that day.

The little beggar guessed that this lady must be someone the young man knew that day.

I just don't know what the relationship is.

Little beggar: "My brother was ill at that time... so I did not agree to the young master's request."

Li Huashi: "Is your brother dead?"

The little beggar shook his head: "The young master asked a doctor to treat my brother. My brother is now healed."

Li Huashi raised her eyebrows. When did she do that? She didn't.

It was the child himself who refused her help. No matter what the reason was, since the other party refused, Li Huashi would not rush to help the other party.

In fact, if the child took the two taels of silver, used it to treat his brother's illness, and then went to the State of Li.

But he had no money, and because his younger brother's medical treatment was delayed, he was separated from the main group.

If you try to beg your way there, there's a high chance you'll die on the road.

What's more, they may not be able to find the way.

Maybe the child took the money and used it to treat his brother's illness. Even if he regarded it as a fraud, so what?

Li Huashi didn't think that every refugee who received money from her would go to the Kingdom of Li so honestly.

One of the reasons why there are fewer refugees here is that they are afraid of being discovered. They took their money but stayed here.

So if this child rejects me, it means that the other party has rejected my hope of living at all costs.

Then, I will not pity him.

Li Huashi: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The little beggar shook his head: "That's what the doctor said. He said a young master asked him to come."

Li Huashi nodded and told Huqi to leave.

On the way, Li Huashi looked at Hu Qi and asked, "Did you do this?"

Hu Qi shook his head: "No."

Li Huashi nodded and said nothing more.

If people do good deeds without leaving their names, then it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't care who does the good deeds.

Li Huashi changed her appearance and identity in Anguo and went back to her old business, selling perfume.

After staying there for about a year, he got to know some of the powerful people in Anguo and his business was booming.

Jin Meiniang's Jinsha Tower also stabilized in Li State. With the identity of Zhui Ruo, her business was booming.

Although Wuguo has gold mines, Emperor Anguo is warlike and greedy for money, making him more easily schemed against.

So Li Huashi first set her sights on An Guo, planning how to make Emperor An Guo take action against her first.

Then you will have the opportunity to start a war.

But before Li Huashi could take action, the two countries of An and Wu started fighting.

Li Huashi soon found out the reason. Emperor Anguo was greedy for money, and the cities around Anguo had long been encroached upon by Anguo.

In the battle with Li State, An State lost most of its silver and the treasury was empty, so the Emperor of An State set his sights on the gold mines of Wu State.

Seeing that the two countries were fighting, Li Huashi was happy to be the one who benefited.

This war caused constant civil unrest in Wu State, which eventually ended with the capture of Emperor Wu and the loss of three cities in a row.

An Guo also said that Wu State needed to send a prince with 100,000 taels of gold in exchange for Emperor Wu's freedom.

The second floor of the Fanxiang Pavilion perfume shop.

Li Huashi was holding a letter in her hand, leaning lazily on the couch.

"Marquis Changqing, Li Tongguang?"

Hu Qi continued, “His mother is Princess Anguo, which means he is Emperor An’s nephew.

At first, Princess Qingning of Anguo was married to Suguo as the Crown Princess. However, later, An and Su went to war, and the princess fled back at the risk of her life.

Later, the princess died of illness due to the suffering she had endured, and Emperor An felt guilty about it, so he conferred the title of Marquis of Changqing on her.

Li Huashi frowned: "Then he is not the blood of Su country? Emperor An is not worried?"

Hu Qi: "Li Tongguang is the bloodline of the eldest princess and a concubine after she fled back to Anguo."

Li Huashi: "Okay, but does a person like Emperor An still feel guilty?"

Hu Qi: "It's just the emperor's balancing act."

Li Huashi raised her eyebrows and said, “Well, if I become an emperor or something, I don’t really want to know.

But it’s really good to be the eldest princess~~You can also keep a concubine."

Hu Qi looked at Li Huashi with a smile in his eyes: "If Shishi wants, I can also find a few male lovers for you."

Li Huashi crossed her legs and curled her lips in disgust.

"No, people who don't have feelings for each other won't have worldly thoughts when they get along with each other."

Hu Qi chuckled. Of course, he was just talking casually and he knew that Li Hua Shi would refuse.

Li Huashi put her hands behind her head and thought: "One hundred thousand taels of gold... If I robbed this one hundred thousand taels, would Anwu and the other two countries have no money to fight the war?"

Hu Qi: "It will not be easy for Wu State to collect these 100,000 taels of gold. The national treasury will definitely be emptied."

Li Huashi: "Tsk tsk, it's just 100,000 taels of gold, just such a small amount of money, but it emptied the national treasury, it's really useless.

So what excuse can I use to fight with An Guo?"

Hu Qi didn't speak.

Picking fights is something Li Huashi has always been good at, and she couldn't think of it, and Hu Qi didn't have any good ideas either.

The difficulty lies in the fact that both parties have signed the agreement, so if Li Huashi does not want to actively violate the agreement and make Li Kingdom lose the trust of the world, An Guo must take action first.

However, it is unlikely to let An Guo take the first action at this critical juncture.

If An Guo gets the 100,000 taels of gold, he might be able to regroup and attack the State of Li.

But why should Li Huashi wait until then?

Why wait until the enemy becomes stronger when you can defeat them more easily?
