Chapter 716 Exchange

Northwest border, ‘Yantian Ranch’.

Baby Qu has been living a comfortable life these days. Although she was imprisoned and tied up and had the protons in the hands of others, in fact, in this Yantian Ranch, except for not being able to wander around the ranch at will, and apart from having to endure the two little girls who have been inseparable from her, her behavior is basically not restricted, just like she is visiting relatives and friends, casually and naturally.

She eats and drinks, rides and plays at will. Except for not allowing Wang An to watch when he trains his horse, she is even more relaxed and comfortable than Li Ji and the Lord of the Scene.

Knowing that her identity is extraordinary and with the in advance of their owner, no one in the servants in the ranch dared to be the bird that stood up and stopped him. Therefore, in just three days, she rode the nearly fifteen kinds of horses in the ranch, regardless of size, strength or weakness, one by one. Even Gongsun Xiaobai, under Gongsun Helan, was secretly walked by her for no less than three times, which was a great opportunity to take advantage of this.

"That girl is still safe now?" In the living room, Gongsun Helan asked Li Jihe softly. During the three noisy days before and after the Gaochang border, the king of Gaochang did not even put a single fart, which was boring. So early this morning, after bringing his soldiers to the border as usual, he casually told him, and the leading pioneer sneaked into the ranch to have tea with the soldiers.

"Reply to Mr. Gongsun, Miss Qu has now settled a lot compared to the day at the beginning," He welcomed Gongsun Helan into the hall and ordered his subordinates to hand over tea. Li Jihe replied softly with a smile on the side: "No matter how you say, you are the princess of a country, the golden branches and jade liquid, it is not easy to neglect. Although it is in our hands now, we are businessmen after all. In any case, this business must be done. If you sell horses in Gaochang in the future, you will inevitably ask His Royal Highness the princess to help you."

"A little girl liar, it's good to not make trouble for us. What else can she help?" He curled his lips disdainfully, and Gongsun Helan took a bowl of small drinks and said, "But there is something you said is a good thing. Although that girl is not likable, she is still a princess of a country no matter how hard it is. Before she completely tear her face with Gaochang, it's not a trivial matter if the emperor blames her, it's not a trivial matter."

After the three-day provocation was fruitless, Gongsun Helan guessed some of the thoughts of King Gaochang in his heart. The hero did not suffer any loss in front of him, and he gave in and said nothing. He might have put Liu Chongzhou back in the next two days and replaced them with the princess.

But in secret, the old man probably had already sued the lawsuit to the Tai Chi Hall in Chang'an. If the emperor knew that he was doing this at the border, he would inevitably have another stick.

"Young Master Gongsun said that if we were to imprison the princess of the Allied Kingdom in normal times, we would not be beheaded and exiled to the army. The tragedy of prison for more than ten years would not be escaped, let alone some sticks and flesh on weekdays," Li Jihe continued to say, "But now, the situation is a little different. First, Gaochang was wrong first, and I was imprisoned by the Tang Dynasty merchant for no reason, and this merchant was still from the Liu Mansion."

"Mr. Liu's actions in Chang'an City some time ago were not to directly save the court from danger, but it could have helped the emperor a lot and saved him a lot of trouble. It is a great contribution. Now that the Liu family has encountered such a problem, the emperor will not be without any expression." Li Jihe continued: "Besides, this year, the tribute from Gaochang is not as good as the eleventh year in previous years, and his unjust intentions are becoming more and more obvious. What will the emperor think about this?"

"It is already the greatest forgiveness to them without sending troops to conquer him immediately. How could he have the heart to care about his princess in Gaochang?" After being a guard in the palace for so many years, he also met Li Shimin in person with the prince many times. Li Jihe also knew a little about this eternal wise king who established his country with martial arts. Therefore, when talking about the main matter of their kidnapping of Gaochang, he did not have much fear in his heart.

"So, the king of Gaochang reported this matter to the emperor with a shameless face," he glanced at Gongsun Helan, and Li Jihe said softly with some confidence: "The emperor is afraid that he will not rule Gongsun and General Yang's guilt. It is not necessarily true that the two generals can still receive the rewards from the emperor for this."

"Haha, you kid can say something generous," Gongsun Helan couldn't help but look up at him. He didn't expect that Li Ji and a small former guard of the East Palace would have such a vision and insight. What he said was almost the same as what Brother Yang said three days ago. No wonder his brother valued him so much and handed over the entire "Yantian Ranch" to him.

"The emperor is not afraid. The most serious thing is that he was recalled to Chang'an," Xiaobao sipped his tea, and Gongsun Helan said worriedly: "The only thing I worry about now is whether Liu Chongzhou, who was detained by the old man, still has his life now? If he is still alive, he will almost have a letter in the past two days."

The deadline agreed upon with King Gaochang in the letter has come. If there is no news from that old man, Qu Wentai, there will be something else they should do.

Although the girl Qu Baobao is a woman, if her father is not good at it, Gongsun Helan would not care about making a bad reputation and do something to destroy flowers.

"King Gaochang has always loved this Princess Jin Ye. He knows that she is tied up and will not be without any expression." Seeing that Gongsun Helan was a little anxious and had no patience, Li Jihe whispered: "It's still early now, so we might as well wait a little longer."

"It's still Ji He who is meticulous and steady in his behavior. He doesn't look like some guys who are still stinky and have no patience." With a crisp sound, Baby Qu stepped into the hall as if no one was around, looked at Gongsun Helan with a squinted eyes and gave him a disdainful expression.

The little girl had been listening to it for a long time outside. From the words of Gongsun Helan, the stinky brat, she could also hear some unfavorable information for her. From her angry little face, Li Jihe saw a different meaning.

"Oh, it turns out that His Highness the Princess has arrived. The villain is polite." Seeing that Baby Qu came in, Li Jihe stood up with a smile and bowed to the uninvited princess. Gongsun Helan ignored this and was still sitting in the head with a broad sword and horse. There was no intention of getting up, bowing, and giving up her seat.

"Hmph!" Seeing Gongsun Helan's appearance as if no one was ignored, Qu Baobao snorted angrily, frightened that Gongsun Helan had no ruthless means of pitying Hua Xiyu before, the little girl did not dare to say anything to ask him to give up the first place. She just glared at Gongsun Helan and sat down on the other chair from a distance.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you are satisfied with the reception in the hall these days?" He raised his hand to signal the servants to deliver tea, as if he had not noticed the coldness of the two. Li Jihe asked Qu Baobao softly with a kind smile. It looked like an inn shopkeeper facing the tenant who was staying overnight.

"Although you are very brave, you are still quite tactful. It has not been difficult for me these days. I have recorded this relationship," I glanced at Li Jihe lightly, and Baby Qu said lightly. Then the little girl turned her head and stared at Gongsun Helan, gritted her teeth and said, "But I will not forget the rude and threats you have been to me before. When I return to my country safely, I will definitely repay you."

"Tsk, a little girl who doesn't love her mother and doesn't want her. She dares to say anything harsh in front of me," said a little bit of a ruthless thing, and Gongsun Helan glanced at Qu Baobao with contempt, without taking the little girl's words to heart. She is just a small Gaochang country, and she has no capital that can threaten him.

"Also," said Gongsun Helan, who opened his eyelids and looked at Qu Baobao, said lightly: "You said these words a little too early. Usually, they are ruthless words that want to save face but have no confidence. They are thrown out when they want to escape or ensure their safety."

"Woo~ You!" Baby boy, Baby boy, Baby boy, damn boy! With a red face, he raised his hand to point at Gongsun Helan's nose and cursed in his heart countless times, Baby Qu tried hard to calm down his mind, held his anger, held his voice, and put his head aside, too lazy to argue with Gongsun Helan anymore.

The fight is not an opponent, and it is also a loser. After countless confrontations, Qu Baobao can no longer raise the courage to fight Gongsun Helan.

Can't you let someone have a single time? He looked at Gongsun Helan quietly and saw that the brat was still drinking tea without a glance. The little girl was confused. When this princess returned to Gaochang, she would definitely summon countless Gaochang warriors and tie you up to the feet of this princess. Then see if you dare to be so arrogant, hum!

"Today is the last day," Li Jihe has long been accustomed to the battle between the two and the Cold War. Taking advantage of the rare time when both of them remain silent, Old Li interrupted in it, saying, "The people on Gaochang are probably close. Young Master Gongsun and Princess Jin Ye, both of them are asking for peace. They are just for the servants of the Liu Mansion to take the risk. I want King Gaochang to take his precious daughter."

"That's not necessarily true," Seeing that Qu Baobao's expression became a little slowed down due to Li Jihe's words, Gongsun Helan spoke up unhappily: "I heard that in Gaochang, there is no rule that women are not allowed to interfere in politics and become emperors. If someone is a little afraid of her and does not want her to go back safely and do some tricks on the road, it will be hard to say."

"Gongsun Helan, don't be sowed away here. Our Gaochang royal family is no better than those of the princes and grandsons of the Tang Dynasty. They like to fight openly and secretly, and even kill each other. Humph, my princes and others are good to me, so you don't need to cry here!" Their face changed a few times. The little girl jumped up from the chair, shouting loudly at Gongsun Helan.

Seeing such intense reaction from Baby Qu, Gongsun Helan and Li Jihe looked at each other and smiled slightly, and then they both spoke silently, allowing Baby Qu to shout loudly as if they were there to pluck him up.

"Mr. Gongsun, the boss, the people from Gaochang have arrived." With the report from the servant outside the door, Qu Baobao's voice stopped, and he raised his head with relief, and looked proudly at Gongsun Helan.

"How many people have come? Where are they now?" Gongsun Helan felt relieved without caring about the proud look that Qu Baobao cast. It was good that people came. As long as people came, their hard work these days would not be in vain.

"Go back to Lord Gongsun, there are five people coming," the servant bent over and said, "One person was wearing a Tang suit, like the people of my Tang Dynasty, tied to a horse, and the other four were all the followers brought by Miss Qu last time, and they are now waiting on the periphery of the ranch."

"I knew that my father would not ignore me, hum!" After hearing this, Qu Baobao stood up happily from the chair, snorted gently at Gongsun Helan, and then walked out of the hall.

"Let them all come to this courtyard!" He waved his hand and sent the servant out. Seeing that Qu Baobao was about to greet him, Gongsun Helan gave Li Jihe a light wink and signaled him to stop him.

"Your Highness Princess!" After receiving the instructions from Gongsun Helan, Li Jihe moved gently with a smile. The moment before Baby Qu stepped out of the living room, he reached out to stop the person and said softly politely: "Your Highness Princess, please stay. Some vulgar servants are worthy of the princess greeting. Let's wait here."

"What, are you still afraid that this princess will run away?" He looked at Li Jihe with dissatisfaction, and Qu Baobao asked in a clear voice, but when he was talking, his body that had just moved stopped and seemed to have no intention of going out again.

"Your Highness the Princess is so serious. Ji is just a horse-trafficking merchant. How can you have the courage to limit Your Highness the Princess' freedom?" He bent his body slightly and bowed to the little girl. When he heard the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, Li Jihe laughed and said softly: "Your Highness Princess, look, aren't they already here now?"

"Master Helan!" Under the sanitation escort of Ada, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A,

"Huh? No, isn't this Liu Wuhen?" As soon as he entered the courtyard gate of the Luo Mansion, Liu Yi saw a familiar figure. Four black hooves and silver hair were riding by Liu Xiaohui, running around in the yard happily. Isn't this the Baili donkey he bought more than a year ago?

Wasn't it taken to the Northwest Ranch by Li Jihe? Why is it sent here again now? Could it be that Li Jihe or Gongsun Helan, the boy, came back from the Northwest?

Just as Liu was thinking about something, Liu Wuhen, who was walking in the yard, suddenly lit his eyes. After a loud sniff, he ran towards its owner quickly with great joy. Liu Xiaohui, who was playing happily on its back, screamed loudly.

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" He screamed lightly, and turned around Liu Yi's three circles in a row. Liu Wuhen stopped happily, bit Liu Yi's sleeve, licked Liu Yi's palm, and his whole body rubbed against Liu Yi's body. He didn't want to leave his master again when he was tired of kissing him.

"Brother, our donkey is back again, it runs very fast." He was startled by Liu Wuhen's crazy running, but when he saw his elder brother enter the yard, Liu Xiaohui became happy again. He opened his arms and climbed from the donkey's back into the elder brother's arms. The little girl smiled and stretched out her little hand, pointing at their little white donkey and said crisply.

"Yes, I'm back again, much taller and stronger than before." Liu Yi held the younger sister in one hand, reached out to touch Liu Wuhen's donkey's head with the other, and licked Liu Wuhen's wet and warm tongue on his hand.

"Who brought it back?" After happily kissing Liu Wuhen for a while, Liu Yiuan then opened his voice and asked the little sister in his arms: "But your brother Helan is back?"

"No, it was brought back by Uncle Gongsun for us, and the new clothes on Xiaohui were also given to Xiaohui by Uncle Gongsun for Xiaohui." Pointing at the brand-new and beautiful little coat on his body, Liu Xiaohui's little face, which was flushed with red due to cold, was full of excitement and joy.

"Uncle Gongsun?" Could it be that the old man Gongsun Wude came? Thinking of Gongsun Wude's previous trip to the northwest to investigate the ranch, Liu Yiu had a scheming in his heart and looked around the yard. Seeing that there were only a few servants responsible for taking care of Xiaohui's cavalry, he asked softly to the younger sister in his arms: "Where is Uncle Gongsun and others?"

"I'm talking to Aunt Robert in the hall, my parents and brother Luo are all here." He reached out and reached out to touch Liu Wuhen's donkey head, and Liu Xiaohui said in a chilling voice: "Xiaohui hasn't ridden our white donkey for a long time. After saying to her parents, they let Xiaohui come out."

"Oh, is that?" He reached out and raised Liu Xiaohui high, and Liu Yi slowly placed her on Liu Wuhen's back, and said with a gentle smile: "If that's the case, then Xiaohui will continue to play here. Brother has something to do, go to the hall to take a look first. Hehe, look, our little donkey also likes our Xiaohui very much."

As he said that, he stroked Liu Wuhen's ears and signaled that it would take Xiaohui carefully to play in the yard. Liu quickly walked through the front yard and walked towards the inner hall of the back yard.
