Chapter 136 I Want to Join Too

On the official road.

Several horses galloped past, raising dust all the way.

Covering the sky and the sun.

Sitting on the horse in the lead was the woman in white.

Following behind her were the previous constables.

When they arrived in front of a village, the woman in white reined in her horse and stopped.

The constables behind her also stopped.

The woman in white sat on the horse, looking up at the village not far away, her bright eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

"Princess, next, do we still need to continue searching for Li Suyi's whereabouts?"

A constable behind her stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"No need!"

The woman in white was silent for a long time, and said lightly.

There was a strange look in her eyes.

After all, she underestimated the other party.

In the past few days, she sent hundreds of Qintiansi masters, almost turning over the area of ​​dozens of miles around Ping'an County, but still failed to find Li Suyi's trace.

Now it seems that Li Suyi is about the same age as himself, but she can become the leader of the martial arts world, which is enough to show that she is more powerful than he imagined.

In this case, she still can't find her whereabouts. It will be useless to continue searching.

"It's meaningless to continue to track her down. There is no need to waste everyone's energy. Inform everyone and let everyone withdraw."

The woman in white said lightly.

"Yes."

Hearing the princess's order, several constables also fell silent.

They all showed shame on their faces. This time they followed the princess to track down clues all the way here.

As a result, not only did they fail to help the princess, but they almost lost face.

This is a shame for them.

At this moment, they are even more ashamed.

"Then Princess... where should we go next? Should we go back to Beijing first?"

After a while, the constable behind him continued to ask carefully.

A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the woman in white, and she shook her head: "I can't go back for the time being. If I go back now, wouldn't it be Zhao Jing's wish?"

"He is probably waiting to see me make a fool of myself."

The woman in white had a slightly cold tone, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, the few constables behind her didn't dare to speak.

They didn't even dare to breathe.

No one dared to answer this question.

The reason is simple.

It's just because Zhao Jing mentioned by the princess is not an ordinary person.

This Zhao Jing is the half-brother of the eldest princess.

He is also the current crown prince of the Great Zhao Dynasty!

Everyone knows that although the current emperor has many children, only two of them are favored.

In addition to the current crown prince, the other one is the eldest princess in front of him.

Over the years, the crown prince and the eldest princess have not disappointed His Majesty.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was in charge of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, deterring the scoundrels in the underworld and maintaining order in the underworld. She had arrested and eliminated countless reactionary forces that were harmful to the court.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in charge of the capital, and he had found many bad apples in the court. He also made great achievements in his political achievements and was favored by the emperor.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess were both praised by the emperor and the ministers in the court.

The two siblings jointly contributed to the prosperity of the Zhao Dynasty. This should have been a very peaceful and even praiseworthy situation, and it did seem so on the surface.

But in fact, things were far from as simple as they seemed on the surface.

The reason was also very simple... Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not get along!

There were many reasons for the incompatibility, including that both the Princess and the Crown Prince were extremely proud people, and they both hoped that each other could surpass the other.

The two fought openly and secretly, and the disputes continued for many years.

One of the most important reasons for the biggest conflict between the Princess and the Crown Prince was the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in the hands of the Princess.

Over the years, with the support of His Majesty, the status of the Qintian Division has become higher and higher, and its power has become greater and greater. It has become a huge force.

This force has become a concern for the prince.

At the same time, the power behind the Qintian Division, the many masters in the Qintian Division, and the Qintian Division's intelligence network throughout the world have aroused the prince's covetousness.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has coveted the Qintian Division for a long time, but the Qintian Division is firmly controlled by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It is precisely because of this that the discord between the Princess and the Crown Prince has arisen.

Over the years, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince have been fighting openly and secretly, and the gunpowder smell has intensified.

In the court, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly targeted Her Royal Highness the Princess, constantly exerting pressure, which has almost become an open matter.

Many people know about these things, but no one dares to participate, and no one dares to comment.

After all, these are private affairs of the Heavenly Family, and outsiders like them dare not get involved at will.

"Go to Chaoyang County!"

After a long silence, the woman in white spoke again slowly.

She looked at a place not far away, and her eyes gradually became colder.

"A few days ago, intelligence came that representatives from all the major sects in the martial arts world would gather in Chaoyang County. The purpose of their gathering this time was to discuss and determine the specific matters of the next martial arts conference, and to elect the next martial arts leader in advance."

"But..."

The constable behind him asked in confusion: "Isn't Li Suyi alive?"

"It is precisely because she is alive that we are going to Chaoyang County!"

The woman in white looked into the distance and said calmly: "She is not dead, which makes things more interesting...she will definitely appear when the time comes."

"Let's go to Chaoyang County and wait for her!"

…

Ping'an County.

"Is this the fun place you mentioned?"

In the city, at the entrance of a shop somewhere.

Shen Qingning stood at the door, looking around.

This is an ordinary street in Ping'an County. The street is quite prosperous and the location is good.

but……

Shen Qingning was confused.

Why did Li Beifeng bring her here?

Is there anything interesting here?

"Yes, that's it!"

Li Beifeng nodded confidently.

"What is the fun thing you are talking about?"

Shen Qingning looked left and right, but still didn't see anything interesting, so she couldn't help but ask again.

"It's right in front of you!"

Li Beifeng pointed at the closed shop in front of her and said.

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

"..."

Shen Qingning was silent for a long time, and her eyes gradually became unkind.

"Are you kidding me?"

Shen Qingning seriously suspected that Li Beifeng was playing tricks on her.

"Don't worry yet!"

As Li Beifeng spoke, he came to the door of the shop, opened the door and walked in.

The shop was empty and quite clean.

Li Beifeng looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

good!

The location is good and the store is also quite good.

Su Shan's vision is indeed good.

"where is this place?"

Shen Qingning saw Li Beifeng constantly looking around, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"

"Can't you see? I'm checking!"

"what to check for?"

"Check whether it's up to standard, whether you're satisfied or not."

Shen Qingning felt a little confused for a moment, and she became confused: "Wait... tell me first why you brought me here? Also, whose shop is this?"

"It's Mine!"

"your?!"

Shen Qingning opened her eyes in disbelief.

"Any questions?"

"Since when has this been your shop?"

"I just bought it!"

"..."

Shen Qingning was speechless for a moment.

It is well founded and cannot be refuted.

but……

but……

Shen Qingning still felt something was wrong, and she felt her head was a little confused.

What is going on?

What did she want to ask?

Shen Qingning was filled with doubts and didn't know where to start.

However, she quickly grasped the point.

"Why did you buy this shop?"

"Open a store!"

"What kind of store should I open?"

"Of course it's a drug store!"

Li Beifeng said matter-of-factly.

"Drug shop?"

Shen Qingning was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Li Beifeng is a doctor, so it is logical and reasonable for him to open a pharmacy...

It seems so.

but……

Shen Qingning quickly thought of the most important question: "Did you buy this shop?"

"yes!"

"Where did you get so much money?"

Shen Qingning stared at Li Beifeng.

This street is located in a prosperous area of ​​Ping'an County, and houses in this area are not cheap. Especially in this store, the prices are definitely not low.

So, where did Li Beifeng get the money to buy the shop?

Shen Qingning knew the details of Li Beifeng very clearly.

With Li Beifeng's family conditions, it would be considered good if he didn't starve to death. How could he have enough money to afford such a large shop?

Something's wrong!

Something is very wrong.

"Well..."

Li Beifeng said: "Do you still remember that time when you and I offered a reward of 100 taels of gold..."

"You mean...Sister Su, did she really give you the reward of one thousand taels of gold?"

At this moment, Shen Qingning was a little stunned.

"That's right!"

Li Beifeng nodded: "If nothing else, Su Shan really means what he says, and he will give it as he says. He is really unambiguous at all."

Li Beifeng knew very well the principle of not exposing wealth, so he never publicized this matter and kept a low profile.

However, Li Beifeng had no need to hide what Shen Qingning said from her.

No matter from any aspect, Shen Qingning didn't have any bad intentions towards him.

As expected, Shen Qingning was simply shocked after learning about this incident.

At the same time, there is still some unspeakable feeling in my heart.

When she mentioned this matter to Li Beifeng, she just wanted to fool Li Beifeng and trick him.

In the end, who would have thought that Li Beifeng would actually come to Su Mansion.

He even cured Sister Su by accident.

As for the reward of a thousand taels of gold, Shen Qingning didn't feel anything at all.

After all, she doesn't lack this little money.

To her, money is just a number.

What surprised her was that Sister Su actually gave Li Beifeng a thousand taels of gold.

"So, you are very rich now?" Shen Qingning couldn't help but ask.

"Okay."

Li Beifeng didn't hesitate: "I can't compare with a rich lady like you."

"Hmph, you were so stingy when you bought lanterns last time, so I thought you were bleeding profusely!"

Shen Qingning suddenly remembered that when the lanterns were put out that night, Li Beifeng was haggling with the lantern owner, looking distressed that he had been cheated.

At that time, Shen Qingning felt pity for Li Beifeng, thinking that she had spent a lot of money on Li Beifeng, so she planned to ask Yun'er to find a way to give it back to Li Beifeng.

Now that I think about it...she was simply fooled!

This guy is so rich, yet he still pretends to be poor!

Too much!

Li Beifeng shook his head: "That's different. Being rich and being taken advantage of are two different things. The money spent on the lanterns is indeed not worth it."

"Humph, I don't care!"

Shen Qingning snorted: "Then why don't you thank me properly? If it weren't for me, would you have encountered such a good thing?"

"Yes, I really want to thank Miss Shen for giving me such an opportunity to make a fortune."

"Hmph, then you have to treat me well!"

"no problem."

"I want to eat a lot of delicious food, lots and lots of that kind."

"Eat whatever you want."

"..."

After receiving Li Beifeng's definite answer, Shen Qingning nodded with satisfaction: "You still have a conscience."

Then, Shen Qingning looked around curiously: "So, are you planning to open a pharmacy here to practice medicine?"

Li Beifeng nodded: "That's it."

"Can you do it alone?"

After all, the Shen family made their fortune in business, and Shen Qingning also has a keen sense of business.

"Business in drug stores is not easy, and our drug stores here are all related to the Cao family. If you open a drug store here, wouldn't you offend Cao Yan?"

"I definitely can't do it alone."

Li Beifeng nodded. He naturally knew about this, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged Su Shan into the group.

Seeing Li Beifeng's appearance, Shen Qingning couldn't help but ask: "Then you..."

"So, I roped in my backers in advance!"

Li Beifeng was a little proud: "Su Shan has agreed to open a drug store with me in partnership. I will bring the Su family into the partnership. In this way, even if Cao Yan doesn't like me, he can't do anything to me, right?"

Li Beifeng's wishful thinking was very good.

With the Su family joining the gang, even if Cao Yan was jealous and angry, he would not dare to attack Li Beifeng's medicine shop in private.

However, when she heard Li Beifeng's words, Shen Qingning was stunned: "What did you say? This pharmacy... was opened by you and Sister Su?"

"You could say that."

Li Beifeng nodded.

However, Shen Qingning's expression changed slightly: "Why haven't you mentioned it to me..."

"this……"

Li Beifeng was about to explain when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Looking at Shen Qingning again, I realized that something wasn't right about Shen Qingning's face.

Is this girl in a mood?

Li Beifeng was keenly aware of this.

"Isn't it too late to tell you? We just made the decision a few days ago. Shouldn't we tell you now?"

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Li Beifeng's explanation made Shen Qingning look slightly better.

However, she was still a little unhappy.

Why did Li Beifeng open a drug store in partnership with Sister Su?

Why didn't anyone tell her in advance?

Shen Qingning always felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort in her heart.

She obviously has a very good relationship with Sister Su, as close as sisters.

But Shen Qingning still had some strange emotions in her heart, as if Li Beifeng and Sister Su had done something shameful behind her back.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingning felt even more uncomfortable.

There is still a faint sour feeling.

"I don't care, I want to join in!"

Shen Qingning huffed and stared at Li Beifeng with her little mouth pouted: "Sister Su has joined the gang, and I want to join the gang too!!"

…
