The Holy Land of the Witch Clan.
A team of merchant envoys headed by the fourth prince Mubai arrived.
The prince's personal arrival fully demonstrated Dashang's sincerity for this peace negotiation.
but.
What the Witch Queen cares about is obviously not the prince, but one of her enemies.
"Where is your master?"
The Witch Queen looked at the boy in front of her and asked.
"I don't know either."
Huanzhu shook his head and replied, "After the battle at Tianfan Peak, Master disappeared and there is still no news."
Hearing this, the Witch Queen narrowed her eyes and said, "Boy, do you think that if I detain you and release the news, will your master come to save you?"
"Won't."
Huanzhu immediately denied it and said, "Did the Witch Queen forget that the last time this junior was arrested, Master Xianzi escaped on his own?"
To be honest, my brother is really unreliable as a master.
Ahead, the Witch Queen frowned slightly after hearing what the boy in front of her said.
It seems so.
That crazy woman Qin Wanna left her disciple behind and ran away last time!
While the two were talking, Dashang's envoys stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
The Witch Queen seemed to ignore their intentions.
"Forget it, come here, take the envoys of Dashang down to rest."
There were too many people and it was difficult to talk. The Witch Queen said something and then turned around and walked towards the altar.
Don't worry, that crazy woman owes her, and she will get it back little by little.
Now the Li family boy and Dashang are asking for help from her.
She had to settle things with them both publicly and privately.
It is really a pleasant thing to be desired by others.
"Your Highness, this Witch Queen is so rude!"
In the team of Dashang envoys, an official from Honglu Temple spoke up and said in a deep voice, "Why are we also the envoys of Dashang? She didn't even pay attention to a word."
"People are under the roof."
Mu Bai looked calm and said, "As long as peace talks can be reached, the attitude of the Witch Queen is irrelevant."
Around them, the officials of Honglu Temple saw that His Royal Highnesses had all spoken, so they didn't say anything more. However, the officials of Honglu Temple who were so pampered and privileged had always looked down upon the envoys of other small countries. How had they ever received such insults? , their faces are all not very pretty.
Things were changing, and no one expected that the great businessman, who had always been invincible, would one day seek help from others.
Soon, Dashang's envoys went down to rest first under the Wu Clan's heavenly guards.
"Brother Li."
On the way, Mu Bai spoke up and said in a deep voice, "What did the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal take from the Witch Queen? Is it very precious? It's better to dissolve enemies than to make knots. If that doesn't work, just give it back to her."
"Not yet."
Huanzhu smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, Master Fairy and the Witch Queen worked together to kill a black dragon that was about to transform into a dragon. Before leaving, Master Fairy took the dragon pearl, the three scales next to Ni Lin, and the black dragon's heart and blood. Taken away.”
"Where's the stuff?"
Mu Bai's heart skipped a beat and he asked.
The Plum Blossom Sword Immortal is too cruel!
The most precious things on Jiaolong's body were all taken away.
"I ate the dragon beads and drank the blood in my heart. The three scales are still in the hands of the fairy master." Huan Zhu replied.
After hearing this, Mu Bai was speechless and didn't know what to say.
If there is a disciple, then there must be a teacher.
Brother Li and Plum Blossom Sword Immortal are a perfect match for each other.
In the center of the holy place, on the altar.
The Witch Queen sat cross-legged and continued to practice, not taking the visit of the Great Shang envoy to her heart at all.
What a big deal.
It was more important to get back the treasures that boy owed her.
"The front is the forbidden area of our witch clan's altar. You are not allowed to approach it."
At this moment, there was a noise in the distance. The Witch Queen felt it, opened her eyes, and said, "Let him come over."
"yes!"
Outside the altar, the heavenly guards took orders and stopped blocking them.
Under the vigilant eyes of many heavenly guards, Huanzhu walked up to the altar, sat down casually on the edge of the altar, reached out and handed over a stack of banknotes, and said, "Queen of the Witch, this is given to you by the Li family. apologize."
In the middle of the altar, the Witch Empress stretched out her hand and took the banknote over. She said with an indifferent expression, "Public is public, private is private. The matter between the big businessman and the Wu clan cannot be settled with a few banknotes."
"I know."
Huanzhu nodded and said, "I came here because I was forced. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to come back so easily."
"Return the things your master stole. It's a personal grudge." The Witch Queen said calmly.
"No, I've already eaten everything except the dragon scales."
Huanzhu said helplessly, "And those three dragon scales are still with Master Fairy, and I won't be able to find her for a while. Queen Witch, do you think it's okay to do so?"
"have eaten?"
Hearing this, the Witch Queen showed anger and said, "What a waste of natural resources! The black dragon that is about to transform into a dragon is so precious that it cannot be measured by silver."
"What should we do?"
Huanzhu spread his hands and said, "The matter is a foregone conclusion. Even if the Witch Queen kills me, it will be useless. It is better to convert it into silver to recover some losses."
Speaking of this, Huanzhu seemed to remember something, took out a box from his arms, threw it over, and said, "This is the treasure that the eldest sister got from the East China Sea before. It is very precious. The eldest sister has searched the East China Sea and only found this." One for you, the Witch Queen."
Hearing this, the Witch Queen opened the wooden box. When she saw the beads inside, she narrowed her eyes and said, "What is this?"
It seemed familiar, but for a moment, I couldn't remember where I had seen it before.
"Qu Nanzhu."
Huanzhu smiled and said, "It's a divine thing that keeps your face."
"Qu Nanzhu?"
The Witch Queen was surprised when she heard this. She had only seen this thing in ancient books, but she didn't expect it to really exist.
Forget it, just treat it as interest.
In her thoughts, the Witch Queen put away Qu Nanzhu without leaving any trace, without any politeness at all.
"Witch Queen, we can talk slowly about the things Master Fairy owes you. Don't be in a hurry. My Li family won't default on the debt anyway."
Huanzhu looked at the woman on the altar and said seriously, "However, the matter between the Great Shang and the Wu Clan cannot be delayed."
"When did you become a lackey of the Great Shang court?"
The Witch Queen sneered and said, "I heard that the Great Shang court has just sealed many of your Li family's shops. You are really generous."
"My lips are dead and my teeth are cold. Moreover, the emperor's life is on my side, so I have to come even if I don't come."
Huanzhu said softly, "Queen Wu, the strength of the Wu tribe is not enough to compete with the big merchants. Moreover, the Wu tribe people have been accustomed to living in southern Xinjiang all year round and have no great interest in living in the Central Plains. On the contrary, the people of southern Xinjiang and the big businessmen are not interested in living in the Central Plains." Commerce and trade between merchants are of great benefit to each other. Therefore, there is no need for the big merchants and the Wu clan to be hostile. It is more beneficial to each other to maintain a friendly relationship and exchange what they have."
"Boy from the Li family, I will admit that you are a very good lobbyist."
The Witch Queen said with a cold expression, "However, I just don't like Dashang. If it dies, even if the Witch Clan doesn't get any benefits, I will be happy."
When Huanzhu heard this, his face was speechless.
My brother is right, this crazy woman is not only petty, but also very perverted.
It is useless to try to move people with emotion and understand them with reason.
The strategy must change.
Just when Huanzhu and the witch queen mad woman started fighting.
Shijiang City.
Li Zi ordered his troops at night and prepared to lead them north.
He knew very well that at this point in the war, Dashang had lost the opportunity. If he continued to defend passively, he would only become more and more embarrassed, and he had to change his strategy.
Use offense as defense and force the Mobei Iron Cavalry to return for reinforcements!
at the same time.
Mobei, Baidi tribe.
The cold wind blows and dust flies.
"Nan'er, don't run around, it's cold outside."
In front of an exquisite tent, a woman looked at the little girl in front of her and shouted.
The grassland should have been a season of abundant water and grass, but now, it is still cold and windy.
On the grassland, the water plants are sparse and far less lush than in the past.
It's cold, water and grass are difficult to grow, and the cattle and sheep don't have enough to eat. The people in Mobei are even more hungry and cold.
"Mother."
In the cold wind, the little girl turned around. She looked about ten years old, pink and jade, and very beautiful.
"Mother, when will father come back?"
Nan'er asked with a longing look on her face as she looked at the endless grassland.
"Soon."
The woman said softly, "Your father is looking for a place for his people to survive. When he finds it, he will come back."
