Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 299 Jade Pendant

It is a piece of cake to have fun in this small, enclosed village.

When Lou Xiao was awake, Li Huaiqing had become one with the villagers and was even treated as a guest of honor.

But a wine-making recipe revealed the fact that the former King Zheng had been here, and there was no loyalty at all.

Whoever gives benefits is eligible to exchange.

Xiao Zhaoyang stayed here for several years, but left without hesitation when he heard that Li Huaiqing was bringing people here.

They didn't regard this place as their base at all, because they realized that they were not trustworthy.

Lou Xiao quietly stood in the corner and watched Li Huaiqing, who was talking to others even though they couldn't communicate in the same language.

It was as if I had witnessed his unique personal charm for the first time.

It seems to be an extremely easy thing for him to gain the favor of others. No wonder His Majesty has to use him even though he is wary of the family behind him.

Lou Xiao hugged her chest, and once again thought about the things she would face after returning to the capital.

What is the relationship between him, Li Huaiqing and Xiao Zhengdu? How should he ask his senior sister about the Gu in her body?

There were a few little kids from the village around her, staring at her curiously with their big black eyes.

Lou Xiao felt around and found nothing to give as a gift, so she gave all the money she had to others. She felt awkward.

Fortunately, they were not here for food, but were simply curious about her, a stranger.

The braver ones even stretched out their dirty, chubby hands and touched her clothes.

Lou Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and pinched the little guy's face. Then he caught a glimpse of a malicious gaze hidden in the crowd and his expression became serious.

Maybe because there were so many people, nothing happened in the end. At the end, Lou Xiao asked Li Huaiqing for some small gifts.

He was very generous and took out the jade pendant from his body.

It feels soft to the touch, and is made of top-quality white jade.

"These are your personal belongings, so you can't give them away. But do you have any small change? You can buy some snacks for the children."

She didn't expect that Li Huaiqing would be so generous. This jade pendant is enough to buy a garden.

It is just placed in Nanzi and no one knows its value.

What the people of Nanzi love most is silver.

Li Huaiqing turned his head to look at the guard beside him, and he took out a few pieces of silver and copper coins from his waist.

It seems like I can't show it to you, and I feel a little embarrassed.

"I have one thing... I hope you don't mind, sir."

Lou Xiao wanted to return the jade pendant to Li Huaiqing, but he didn't take it. He looked up at her for a while before smiling.

"Please keep it for me first, otherwise I might lose it and not know it."

Since Lou Xiao was able to ask him, he probably had no more money.

There is nothing to spend in Nanzhi, so how come he came here penniless?

Lou Xiao saw that there was no inscription on the jade pendant, so he thought it was not his exclusive property.

It is not surprising that Li Huaiqing's family has a lot of priceless treasures.

Lou Xiao thought about it and agreed, "Then we will return it to you when we return to the capital."

She took the copper coins and silver from the guards, and went to the children who were looking at her eagerly, giving each of them a little, and pinched each of their little faces.

Only then did he return to Li Huaiqing.

The group walked on the unfamiliar dirt road in the village, and Li Huaiqing chatted with her.

"It seems that I overestimated his influence in Nanzi. I thought that he should have accumulated some power after hiding in Nanzi for a few years."

Lou Xiao thought he knew the former King Zheng very well, so he asked,

"You are familiar with him? You are of similar age, one is from an aristocratic family, the other is from a royal family, and both are amazing figures. You should be good friends."

Li Huaiqing shook his head and said slowly, "I don't deserve the word 'shocking'. I'm sorry to disappoint Xiaoxiao, but I have nothing in common with him."

Not to mention how favored Xiao Zhaoyang was at the time, how proud he was of his beauty, and how likely he was to inherit the throne as a man,

Thinking that the matter was set in stone, he would never make friends with the noble families. Instead, he looked down on Li Huaiqing's "pretentiousness".

I just feel that he is overly famous in the capital and is overpraised by those annoying scholars.

At that time, Li Huaiqing's family was determined to put the dynasty back on track.

When the empress ascends the throne, he, as the jewel of the family, will be expected to take the throne.

The Li family members who never flattered Xiao Zhaoyang were always a thorn in Xiao Zhaoyang's eyes.

But these are not easy to tell Lou Xiao.

He didn't want her to know the family's previous plans. As long as he didn't tell her, even if the whole capital knew that he almost took the throne of Feng Jun,

No one dared to take it seriously.

Whether to serve the king in the harem or to gain a foothold in the court with one's own ability, Li Huaiqing has planned a path for himself since his mother and father passed away and he was able to make his own decisions.

"No intersection? It seems that he is not popular." Lou Xiao was half joking.

"There are very few people in the capital who can say these four words to you. Who doesn't know Li Huaiqing?"

"Is Xiaoxiao praising me? At that time, I was just a scholar with an empty reputation. It was normal for him to look down on me."

In fact, it was because Xiao Zhaoyang was too confident and relied too much on the favor of the late emperor.

Even when the late emperor later issued an edict to let King Cheng succeed to the throne, Xiao Zhaoyang always felt that she had used some tricks to change the edict.

From childhood to adulthood, both the people around him and the emperor tacitly believed that he was the future emperor.

How can we accept failure near the end?

"What on earth does he want to do? Could he overthrow the dynasty and take back the throne?"

If he wants to do this, he must have people who support him, right? Whether it is in the court or in the army.

Li Huaiqing's eyes were filled with surprise. How could she say those two words so easily?

But this is Nanzi, so I am not afraid of someone reporting it to Your Majesty.

“If there is a chance to get a hold of the highest position, no one can resist.

What's more, he is someone who has always thought that something is within his reach, so he will never be willing to accept it."

Lou Xiao thought about it and agreed.

Li Huaiqing continued, "He was behind the assassination on His Majesty's birthday, and the mines—

I thought the ironware was flowing into Nanzi, but where would Nanzi get the soldiers to obey his orders? "

The people of Nanzi were a group of scattered sand. Even if Xiao Zhaoyang used threats and inducements, he could not incite the villagers who were already very secretive about the Central Plains.

Nanzi did have conflicts with Zhongyuan, but he wanted them to fight to the death.

That won't work either.

Li Huaiqing recently conducted an investigation and interview on Nanzi and found that although Xiao Zhaoyang lived in Nanzi, he seemed to only use it as a resting place.

Where are his original troops?

Most of the ironware must be prepared for future battles.

The Yue family did most of it, and even they themselves couldn't explain where they were transported to.

Originally thought to be hidden in Nanzi, but according to Li Huaiqing, maybe not.
