Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 3

call!
A milky white air arrow blurted out.

Exhale into an arrow.

This is a sign of minor success in internal strength.

The practice of this night is enough to be worth the past three months, or even half a year of hard work. Luo Xing glanced at himself in the bronze mirror. Not the same, I couldn't help but secretly excited.

One step closer to the extraordinary small goal.

……

On this day, Luo Jing's officials, all those of the fourth rank and above, got up early in the morning and rushed to the Great Government Hall of the Imperial City.

Today is the Dachaohui.

The envoy of the Xirong Mission, Zuo Prime Minister Alehai, led by the ceremonial officer, met with Ye Rong, Emperor Yongxi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in the Dazheng Hall. He was stout and dark-faced, with a silver machete inlaid with various gemstones on his waist. As soon as Prime Minister Zuo of Xirong entered the palace, he brought a sense of oppression to the civil and military officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!

Wearing a dragon robe and a crown, Emperor Yongxi, sitting on the dragon chair, is a 40-year-old middle-aged man with a slender face, slightly divergent eyebrows, thin lips, and slightly raised cheekbones.

Judging from the appearance, it is indeed a bit mean and unkind.

"Foreign Minister Alehai sees His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor!" Alehai looked haughty and knelt down to Emperor Yongxi.

"Prime Minister Alehai Zuo please, how is your wolf master, what's the matter with this mission?" Emperor Yongxi just nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and raised it slightly.

"Everything is well, Your Majesty the Wolf Lord. The foreign ministers came this time to ask for His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor's Liuli Princess." Alehai stood up, looked around, his eyes were shining, and he looked like a noble gift. With an expression on his face, he said loudly, "For this reason, I brought my wolf lord's betrothal gift to marry Princess Liuli, [-] cattle, [-] sheep, [-] horses, [-] jin of sand and ten carts of various gemstones!"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire Grand Palace was in an uproar.

The face of Emperor Yongxi on the throne of the dragon chair also sank. Ale Hai, the left prime minister of Xirong, brought so many gifts to Luo Jing, obviously he came prepared.

Both the ruling and opposition parties have a "happy to see it happen" attitude towards the marriage with Xirong, because once the marriage is concluded, the two countries will not talk about permanent peace, at least there will be no major wars on the frontier for ten years.

However, most of the marriage partners in Dazhou were determined to be the adult sons of the Xirong wolf lord. After all, the princesses in Dazhou were about the same age.

Unexpectedly, the person Xirong asked to marry Princess Da Zhou turned out to be Xirong Wolf Lord himself.

The wolf master of Xirong is already in his fifties, and he is older than Emperor Yongxi. If he marries Princess Da Zhou, then wouldn't this marriage become an alliance between Weng and son-in-law?

Moreover, the one he proposed to marry was Princess Anping Ye Liuli, who was the head of the four beauties in Luojing, and Ye Liuli's identity was very special.

She is the only daughter of the former prince.

Regardless of her beauty, or her bloodline and political status, the risk of marrying into an enemy country is too great.

"Alehai, how old is your wolf master, and you still want to marry our youngest and most beautiful princess in Da Zhou?"

"It's really an old cow eating young grass, shameless!"

"The shameless old thief Xin Li..."

The ministers of the Great Zhou immediately quarreled. There were many opponents, and they even scolded loudly in disregard of decency. Other matters that were originally planned were delayed. In the end, Emperor Yongxi walked away without expressing his position on the spot, and ended the debate .

But the matter didn't end there.

As soon as the court meeting ended, the news that Lord Xirong Wolf wanted to marry Princess Liuli instantly became known to all Luo Jing.

……

Shang Chen, deputy envoy of the Xirong Mission, came back and brought back many heavy boxes, which were being moved to the embassy one by one.

In addition to the Xirong wolf cavalry, there were also some men and women with the same faces as Zhou people. Although they were dressed as servants and maids, most people couldn't tell them apart, but Luo Xing in the crowd could tell them at a glance. Everyone is a master of martial arts.

The Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall is as famous as the Jing'an Department of the Southern Yamen of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Xirong's wolves rode on the outside, and these people vaguely formed a protective square inside, for the thin man in the middle.

Their actions were very fast. It took only a few seconds from getting off the car to entering the gate of the embassy, ​​and then everyone disappeared behind the gate.

Shang Chen is too familiar with him. He usually likes to ride in a carriage when he goes out. Today he is actually riding a horse. He is not a typical Xirong person. His ancestors are actually like the Zhou people. They avoided the war and went to Xirong. Rooted, intermarried and fused with the Xirong tribe, because of his proficiency in Zhou dialect, he was reused by the Xirong wolf masters of all dynasties, and became a diplomatic official dealing with the Great Zhou.

Shang Chen is the deputy envoy of Xirong stationed in Luojing. He has basically been in Luojing for the past three years. He only goes back occasionally to report on his duties. He usually returns within a month. This time he left for three months, and he was still like this when he came back. There was a big battle, obviously something happened.

No matter what major event happened when Shang Chen came back this time, Luo Xing knew that his leisure time was coming to an end, and he had to meet his immediate boss.

Chunyu Tower.

The contact point of the Jingan Department of Nanya's supervision and spies.

"Qilang is here." The clerk of Chunyu Tower saw Luo Xing walking in with folded arms, and hurriedly greeted him. The dogs from the clerk to the backyard of Chunyu Building, as well as the rats and cockroaches in the sewer belonged to the Jingan Division of Nanya.

A pack of secret dried tofu snacks was handed over: "Where's Han Touer?"

"It's settled inside." The clerk took over skillfully, and every time Luo Xing came, he would bring them some secret dried tofu snacks, except for them, no one outside could eat them.

This thing is homemade by Luo Xing, and it is not for sale, but it is a delicious dish to accompany wine.

"Okay." Luo Xing nodded, opened the curtain of the back door, and walked in.

At the end of this is a back-shaped patio, through the corridor, into the backyard, a small lotus pond made of blue bricks in the corner of the courtyard, it is already autumn and winter, the lotus has long since disappeared, only a dead leaf floating on the water.

There is a wintersweet tree in the corner, with a few delicate flower buds sprouting from the branch, which looks a little sparse, showing that the owner here is not a person who "loves flowers".

Hearing the sound of abacus beads coming from the room, Luo Xing easily found the person he was looking for, Han Qifeng, the shopkeeper of Chunyu Building.

"Han Tou."

"Qilang is here, come here quickly, and help me calculate this month's account. I have calculated it several times, and it is wrong every time. I will check the account at the end of the year, and I can't explain it." Han Qifeng, who is a little fatter Looking up and seeing Luo Xing, a hint of "life-saving straw" joy flashed across his small eyes.

"Han Tou, I've taught you the bookkeeping method, why haven't you mastered it yet?"

"When I see these numbers, I get a headache. Otherwise, I will tell the higher-ups that after the three-year inspection period, you will take my place. You are more suitable than me to be the shopkeeper." Han Qifeng hurriedly gave the position to Let it out.

This was not the first time, Luo Xing cupped his hands and sat down naturally, with a pen in one hand and the abacus in the other.

Then I saw his fingers move, like an afterimage, and there was a sound of "crackling" abacus beads hitting in the room.

After about a quarter of an hour, Luo Xing stopped moving the abacus beads, and his pen also stopped.

"Han Tou, let's do the math. This month, Chunyu Building has been open for 30 days, with an average daily income of 120, 41, 230, and [-] cents. After deducting the daily purchase and labor costs, and subtracting the taxes paid, the daily net profit is roughly At [-] taels and three cents, multiplied by thirty, the total profit is [-] three taels and nine cents." Luo Xing reported a number.

"It's about the same as what I calculated, hehehe." Han Qifeng rubbed his hands together and smiled mischievously. This figure was exactly the same as the money in the account, and it was exactly the same.

"Han Tou, Shang Chen has returned to Luojing."

"Understood, a major event happened at the Great Court Meeting today. Your Majesty originally wanted to discuss the matter of next year's Spring Festival, but it was put on hold." Han Qifeng nodded.

"Something happened?"

"Well, Lord Xirong Wolf asks His Majesty to marry Princess Liuli to form an alliance of in-laws."

"Who, the adult sons of the wolf lord seem to have married wives and had children?" Monitoring Shang Chen, how could he not understand Shang Chen's background and the situation in Xirong behind him.

"Guess?"

"It can't be the wolf lord himself?" Luo Xing frowned. The wolf queen of Xirong has been dead for more than ten years. Although there is no shortage of women in the harem, the position of wolf queen has never been established...
