Chapter 2: A Thought Across the Mountains 2



that is. . .

Li Huashi scratched her face in embarrassment, feeling that the 20 million she had spent wasted.

Forget it, forget it. I like it anyway, so it’s not a waste. I’ll just keep it.

To be honest, there are so many different jewellery items in my thousand boxes that I haven't even had the chance to wear some of them.

After all, there are too many things I like. After buying something, it won’t be long before I meet something I like again. Even if I have a thousand heads and a thousand hands, I still can’t wear all these jewels. . .

Keep it, keep it.

As a girl, what's wrong with buying something you like?

So what if I buy it but can’t use it!

It makes people happy just by looking at it!

What you buy is an emotional value!

Um!

This is why the two of them appeared in this teahouse.

Because she particularly liked today's outfit, after breakfast early in the morning, Li Huashi couldn't wait to take Huqi out for a walk.

Come here to rest for a while after strolling.

After all, it would be a shame not to go out after dressing up beautifully.

Less than half of the people in the teahouse were seated.

You know, this is the capital city!

Li Huashi: “I feel like our country’s capital is a little too shabby, with so few people. Why aren’t there merchants from other countries coming here to do business?

There are no spies from other countries who come here in the name of businessmen, and I can't find any good goods to buy when I go shopping."

Of course there are good stuff, but from Li Huashi's current perspective, she doesn't even look down on the treasures in the palace.

Just look at the stuff piled up in her warehouse, any one of them can be said to be priceless.

So apart from food, she really didn't have much to buy.

Li Huashi sighed: "Now that Yuan has changed its dynasty to Li, shouldn't other countries take advantage of the situation and see if they can share some of the benefits?"

Hu Qi: "The bloodbath in the palace was too swift and effective, so even though other countries wanted to take over, they did not dare to act rashly.

There should be spies, but they may be of other identities. After all, after the bloodbath in the palace, Zhui Ruo's way of treating old ministers was such that Bai Zhirou used killing a chicken to scare the monkeys to intimidate others.

As an imperial merchant, she opened her granaries to provide relief to refugees across the country, and exempted taxes for three years, winning the hearts of the people.

The new emperor had no shortage of food or money, and his military was strong, while others had never heard of the name Baizhirou and Zhuiyao.

They couldn't find any news, and in their opinion, the new emperor was very capable, so even if they wanted to, they didn't dare to make any moves without knowing the details."

Li Huashi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the surrounding small countries certainly wouldn't dare to do that. Even if Chu and Yan were to try, they would be afraid that the mantis would catch the cicada while the oriole would be behind them, and they would be eaten by the neighboring Wu and An countries.

Although Anguo and Wuguo are powerful, if they want to attack us, they have to pass through Chuguo and Yanguo, and cross mountains and rivers just to attack a small country. Tsk tsk, this is a losing business.

From this perspective, there is a perfect balance between the nine countries."

But this would not be fun, and if we want to develop the economy, we must have trade!

After looking around, Li Huashi thought of a good idea. Her eyes lit up and she blinked at Hu Qi.

Hu Qi couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Huashi's mouth drooping as she spoke, and her look suddenly becoming listless and then excited.

"What good idea did you come up with?"

Li Huashi: "Let's hold a worldwide auction! Izumo Juren! Snow Taisui! Mechanical arts! Some of my jewels that are too heavy to wear! Hundred Swords!"

The inexplicable appearance of a hundred swords made Hu Qi laugh so hard that he almost choked.

"I'm afraid Bai Jian is not suitable."

Li Huashi: "Ah? What's the matter?"

Hu Qi: "Other countries might be worried about buying a spy, and Zhui Rumors is planning to send a few spies to other countries to get high-ranking positions. Bai Jian might go to Wu Country."

Li Huashi's expression was wrinkled and full of distrust.

"It's easy to tell that the guy is a spy. He looks aloof, arrogant, pretentious, and cold... He doesn't seem like someone who is willing to be inferior to others."

Hu Qi smiled and said, "So the trick that Zhui Yao designed for that guy was to be a hero saving a beautiful woman and eat her gigolo."

Li Huashi: "Hehehe, that's quite suitable. Hehehe...hahahahahahaha."

Li Huashi couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Inside the teahouse, when everyone heard the laughter, they all looked in the direction of Li Huashi.

The two men downstairs also looked over, but unfortunately, the scene upstairs could not be seen from downstairs, so the two men saw nothing.

One of the two men had a full beard and a big mole, and the other had a sallow face and wore a straw hat.

The man with a sallow face listened to the laughter and gave a look to the man with the big mole.

"This laughter is charming and straightforward. She must be a lively, lovely and innocent beauty~"

The mole glanced at the yellow-faced man and said worriedly, "Don't cause any trouble."

Big Yellow Face: "Don't worry, our mission this time is just to find out what the situation is of this Li Kingdom Empress and where she came from. It's very simple."

Big Mole: "Simple? It's been almost a month, have you found any useful information? Even the right-hand man of the empress didn't find any useful information."

Big Yellow Face: "They can't find it, so how can we not do it with our abilities? Come to think of it, we just completed the mission in Chu Country, and we didn't even have time to rest, but we received the mission to come to Li Country. It seems that it has to be us!"

At this point, the big yellow-faced man shook his head with a sigh: "Tsk tsk tsk, what will we do without the two of us? They didn't even find out anything except our names! With this ability, they still want to compete with you for the opportunity to be promoted."

Big Mole: "Li Kingdom is not that simple. Not only did we not find anything, but the bad people in Chu Kingdom also did not find anything. The Zhuyi Guards in An Kingdom were also discovered and dealt with in batches."

Big Yellow Face: "So, the new emperor of Li is really extraordinary! I really want to see what kind of beauty she is! With such ability!"

Big Mole was silent, his eyes moving around Big Yellow Face from time to time, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

The yellow-faced man noticed the other person's gaze, covered his chest with his hands, and stepped back.

"What do you mean by that look?"

Big Mole: "It is said that the empress of the Kingdom of Li is very fond of her sister, the eldest princess."

Big Yellow Face: "It seems to be true. It's strange to say that this empress's surname is Bai, but her sister's surname is Li, and the country of Li is named after her sister's surname."

Big Mole: "Maybe one takes the mother's surname and the other takes the father's surname."

Big Yellow Face: "Wait, you heard the rumor just now and want me to seduce the princess, right? I'm telling you! I won't do it!"

Big Mole: "Didn't you like to flirt with other girls in the past?"

Big Yellow Face: "The defense of the Princess's Mansion is comparable to that of the Imperial Palace! If I can't get in, how am I going to get out?"

Big mole: . . .
