After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 1121 The moon is like a hook 9

Loulan?

Xie Erxi didn't know, but she looked at Wang Zheng Jinzhong.

Wang Zheng Jinzhong drank a glass of wine and said, "This is the country that was founded by the legendary remnants of the Great Li."

Xie Erxi was shocked. She looked at the old man:

"Are you from Loulan?"

The old man smiled calmly, "The name Dali is not very good. Li... is unlucky."

"Therefore, after the Dali royal family withdrew from the Central Plains and moved outside the Great Wall thousands of years ago, after three hundred years of struggle of several generations, they finally recovered some of their vitality and finally established another country."

"It was inappropriate to call her Dali anymore, so I changed her name to Loulan."

"Of course, going back thousands of years, we are all descendants of Dali, so we don't need to distinguish ourselves too much."

"The language is the same, the culture is also the things that were once separated from each other, and the etiquette is also the inheritance, no different from the Central Plains countries today."

Xie Erxi took a deep breath. The kitchen knife in her hand was not pinned to her waist, but still held in her hand.

This is the first Loulan person she has seen in her life, the so-called remnants of the Great Li who have been rumored for thousands of years.

Now this old man has appeared here, and he wants to do a business with Li Chenan... From this point of view, Loulan Kingdom must have the intention to return to the Central Plains or even take over the Central Plains!

"Who are you? Why can you do a business with Li Chenan?"

"He is the emperor of Ningguo!"

The old man smiled again:

"I am really a businessman, but I can also represent the Emperor of Loulan Kingdom."

Xie Erxi's eyes narrowed.

"A businessman of extremely high status with unfathomable martial arts skills?"

"Ah, martial arts is not important. I don't have any ill intentions in coming here."

"Look, I healed your husband's injuries."

"Of course he hasn't recovered yet, but it will only take about half a year of treatment. I guarantee that he will be back to his original state without leaving any sequelae."

Xie Erxi looked at Wang Zheng Jinzhong, who nodded:
"He came here three days ago."

Xie Erxi frowned slightly: "But the door of the cell outside is locked."

Wang Zheng Jinzhong stretched out his hand and pointed upward. .

Xie Erxi looked up and was suddenly surprised——

This is a dungeon!

But there is a hole in the corner at the top of this dungeon!

This old man drilled a hole from above to get here. Of course, his main purpose was not to treat Wang Zheng Jinzhong.

He just wanted Wang Zheng Jinzhong's injuries to heal, and then... I'm afraid he would send her husband out without even having to come to rescue him!
Xie Erxi withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man:

"Since we are discussing business with our Emperor Ningguo, why don't you go in person?"

The old man sighed regretfully:
"Of course I want to go. After all... I have heard stories about him."

"I have to say that Li Chenan is a legend, and I am also very curious about him."

"His poems are more exquisite than the poems left by so many literati who have been away for thousands of years."

"His paintings of screen springs, his fireworks... and the craftsmanship of the sword that lifts the master all make me extremely amazed."

"It's a pity that I really don't have time to get away."

Xie Erxi asked: "Since we have come here from Loulan, is there anything more important than meeting our emperor?"

"It can't be compared like this. Both things are important."

"What's the other thing?"

The old man pondered for three breaths and said, "Fan Taohua is heading towards Loulan."

Xie Er was surprised: "Mrs. Fan? How does she know Loulan? What is she doing in Loulan?"

The old man did not answer how Fan Taohua knew Loulan. He answered the latter question:
"She went to find Zhongli Po!"

"...Zhong Lipo, Marquis of Dingguo, also went to Loulan?" "Yes, the emperor treated him as a distinguished guest and worshiped him as the God of Fu Ning, commanding Loulan's 300,000-strong army!"

Xie Erxi took a breath of cold air. If the Dingguo Marquis leads an army of 300,000 to attack Ningguo... Li Chenan is Zhong Lipo's grandson-in-law...

"What does this have to do with you?"

"I'm afraid Fan Taohua will be detrimental to Zhong Lipo... that is, it will be detrimental to Loulan's next plan. Since I know about it, I have the responsibility to stop her."

The old man sighed slightly, "So, when I found out that Master Tiju was being held here, I came up with this idea to get the best of both worlds."

"I rescued Mr. Tiju from this prison. Naturally, I didn't save him in vain. I just wanted to entrust Mr. Tiju to convey this business to Li Chen'an."

Xie Erxi frowned: "Tell me and listen."

"No, there are still more than two years until the next Shushan sword debate."

"The business I want to do with your Emperor Li Chenan of Ning Kingdom is about the final outcome of the sword debate in Shushan!"

"To save the world from the devastation of war, my emperor hopes to bet with Li Chenan on the Ning Kingdom!"

Xie Erxi was shocked, "Are you crazy? How could Li Chenan gamble with your Loulan country?"

The old man smiled again, with a rather proud expression on his fat and rosy face:

"It's a fair deal."

"I have talked with Master Tiju in the past few days. Dali has already established a country in Loulan. After hundreds of years of development, its strength is naturally not inferior to that of the Central Plains countries."

"If the Great Li Cavalry comes with troops to unify the Central Plains countries, it will take a lot of time, and more importantly, many people will die."

"I heard that Li Chen's heart is extremely kind. I think he doesn't want to see such a miserable scene thousands of miles across the Central Plains."

"There was a sword debate in Shushan, and three or five people from each side were able to handle the matter..."

"If Li Chenan loses, he will hand over Ningguo to Loulan."

"If our side loses, my emperor will hand over Loulan to Li Chenan, and then give him the powerful Hidden Sect..."

"Look, is this using the simplest thing to solve the most complex problem?"

Xie Erxi snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows:
"Do you still think that the current Ningguo cannot defeat those lingering remnants of Dali?"

The old man was not angry, and still had the warm smile of a businessman.

He stroked his long beard and said:

"Aren't they just fireworks?"

"There isn't one in Dali, but there is a hidden door in Dali!"

"Do you know how many masters there are in the Hidden Sect?"

"I don't need to hide it from you. After thousands of years of exploration, there are now masters in the Hidden Sect who are more powerful than the Grand Master. We call them... holy steps."

"A holy master can easily kill three great masters."

"How many great masters does Ning Guo have?"

"How many great masters can there be in all the countries in the Central Plains combined?"

"Although fireworks are powerful, they can't even touch the edge of the holy steps!"

"But if a saint-level master wants to kill those ordinary warriors... it's really too easy!"

Xie Erxi's heart sank, "So, for the sword debate in Shushan in two years' time, you will send out masters of the holy rank?"

The old man laughed, "This is respect for the opponent!"

"But that's not fair at all!"

"In business, sometimes things are a little unfair."

"Isn't there still more than two years left? Ning Guo can also use the whole country's efforts to cultivate one or two saint-level masters."

Xie Erxi's eyes showed murderous intent.

"So, you are also a saint?"

"I'm not, but...your knife can't kill me yet."

"You have to give it a try!" (End of Chapter)
