Chapter 40: A Thought Across the Mountains



Ning Yuanzhou and his group brought Li Huashi and Hu Qi into the house, sat down, and began to discuss business.

Yu Shisan asked someone to bring some tea and snacks. Li Huashi took a look and found that most of them were flavors she would like, so she raised her eyebrows.

Snorted coldly.

Li Huashi had the highest status among those present, so it was natural for her to take the main seat, followed by Yang Ying and Ning Yuanzhou on her left and right.

Li Huashi looked at everyone else, starting with Yang Ying.

"dwarf."

Yang Ying: . . .

"Dead fish face."

Qian Zhao: . . .

"Ugly man."

Sun Lang wanted to cry but had no tears: ... Why does scolding me hurt so much? ?

"Little brat."

Genroku:. . .

Finally, his gaze lingered on Ren Ruyi for a moment, and then he looked away without saying anything.

Strictly speaking, this person was not a member of the diplomatic mission, but she liked Ning Yuanzhou, so she didn't scold him.

Everyone: .

Yu Shisan: "Haha, it's okay, your highness is in a bad mood, don't mind it."

Li Huashi snorted coldly.

Yu Shisan: "Your Highness, if you are willing to show up this time, you will definitely not let us take the blame for you, right?"

Li Huashi was too lazy to say anything like it wasn't her who did it. After all, even if they knew it was her who did it, what could they do to her?

And she really didn't intend to let the delegation take the blame at the beginning.

Li Huashi folded her arms and glanced at Yu Shisan: "I have already planned to announce an auction in Anguo this time to let the Emperor of Anguo know that I have already arrived in Andu."

Ning Yuanzhou thought of something and spoke uncertainly: "Your Highness, are you planning to auction off the treasures in the Anguo Treasury?"

Li Huashi raised her chin and said, "Yes, if Emperor Anguo sees the items at our auction, he won't suspect that you took them. Since you are not implicated, just be happy. I don't care about the lives of others."

Everyone: . . .

Qian Zhao and others looked at Li Huashi in disbelief.

So rampant?!

Although Ning Yuanzhou and Yu Shisan roughly knew about Li Huashi's character, they still remained silent when they heard this.

At the same time, they both understood that Li Huashi had no intention of hiding.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold from our delegation?"

Although Ning Yuanzhou already believed that they were the ones who stole the 100,000 taels of gold from the delegation, he still wanted to confirm it.

Li Huashi smiled: "What does your delegation's gold have to do with me? You can't blame me for everything that's lost, right?"

When Li Huashi said that the mission's gold was lost, everyone understood that she was the one who did it.

If it wasn't her, Li Huashi would either ask what happened to the gold in the delegation, or feel upset that it wasn't her who did it.

However, Ning Yuanzhou did not say anything more. After all, they all knew very well that whether she admitted it or not, they could not do anything to her.

The most important thing is that the reason why Li Huashi dares to act so high-profile now is probably because the State of Li is going to take action.

The Anguo treasury was robbed, but the treasures in their treasury would soon appear at the auction held by the Li Kingdom in Anguo.

This provocative behavior...

Ning Yuanzhou knew that even if Li Huashi denied it verbally like she was doing now, no one with a discerning eye would believe such nonsense unless they were fools.

Ning Yuanzhou: "When do you plan to hold the auction?"

Li Huashi: "Two days later."

Everyone paused.

Yu Shisan: "Are you so urgent this time?"

Li Huashi: "I don't really want to hold an auction in Anguo. As for the last time, we didn't think much of the money from selling those treasures. The auction in Liguo was just for reputation.

You rich businessmen are all poor compared to us in Li State. You are simply wasting my treasures.

But this time I will sell a Cloud Lotus as a gimmick, and see if anyone can afford it."

Although Izumo Juren, Xue Tai Sui, Ming Shen Cao and so on are not valuable to her.

For example, to her, Izumo Juren is not as good as Xue Tai Sui, who in her eyes can feed many plants and has medicinal effects, although not as good as Izumo Juren.

To her, the Izumo Juren is just an ornamental plant planted in her yard, but the value of the Izumo Juren itself is very precious to others.

So she was still unhappy even though it was sold at a low price.

If she has a good relationship with someone, she wouldn't feel bad about giving her a few, but for other people in this world.

If you sell it too cheaply, she won't care about the extra money; if you sell it too expensively, others won't be able to afford it.

Just take out one or two occasionally and use it as advertising, traffic generation, and branding.

When Ning Yuanzhou heard about Izumo Juren, he glanced at Yuanlu.

"Your Highness, when we were in Li Kingdom, I once told you that I have a younger brother who has a heart disease. Do you still remember?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shisan also hurriedly spoke up: "Yes, Your Highness, you promised us that you would let your Li country's genius doctor treat our brother. You should not have forgotten, right?"

When Wu and Li signed the agreement, Yu Shisan also mentioned this matter, but at that time Li Huashi asked them to save money, and when they saved up 10,000 taels of gold, they would bring people to Li.

Then the matter was left unresolved.

After all, ten thousand taels of gold was not enough even if Ning Yuanzhou sold his house.

Li Huashi tilted her head and looked at the others: "Have you saved enough money?"

Ning Yuanzhou: . . .

Yu Shisan wailed, "No way, Your Highness. Even though you don't admit some things and we won't ask too much, we all know it. Since I have tried my best to teach you the art of disguise, please give me a chance to live."

As he spoke, Yu Shisan leaned close to Li Huashi's ear and whispered, "After the delegation is over, I will take you out to play when we have the chance."

Although the 100,000 taels of gold were not theirs, it was a fact that Li Huashi had already taken the money away, so it was not a loss for them if they could get back a little bit of benefit.

If the matter of the gold were to be discovered, no one in Liudaotang would be in good shape.

So they can only try to conceal it as much as possible, but since things have already become a foregone conclusion and nothing can be changed, they will try their best to maximize their benefits.

I'd like to take this opportunity to mention Genroku.

Li Huashi thought about it and decided that since she had already taken 100,000 taels of gold, it wouldn't cost much to treat the disease with hundreds of needles. She could just charge a small consultation fee and let Ning Yuanzhou and the others buy the herbs themselves.

Heart disease... should, probably, perhaps, possibly, Izumo Juren is not needed, right?

But after thinking about it, it doesn't matter. If I need to use Izumo Juren, then let them sign a contract to sell themselves.

So Li Huashi nodded and said: "The consultation fee is one thousand taels of gold, and you can buy the medicine yourself. You can bring people to Li State for treatment."

Yu Shisan nodded immediately, as if he was afraid that Li Huashi would go back on her word.

Ren Ruyi listened to what they said and had some guesses in his mind.

At the beginning, the State of Li provoked the State of An. Given Emperor An's temper, he suffered such a great loss that he had no choice but to ask for peace.

Now the Li Kingdom is in this situation again...

I'm afraid that An and Lebanon will be irreconcilable in the future.
