As a native of Western Chu, long Kai never thought that one day he would have anything to do with crown prince Dongwan.

Hearing this, he pulled the prayer note in Li Weida's hand, quickly took out the letter paper and swept it, and immediately became skeptical: "the messenger of crown prince Dongwan... Came to visit me? Should it be a liar? Why did crown prince Dongwan come to me..."

Muttering to himself, long Kai couldn't guess why he wanted to break his head.

"Er... Marquis, shouldn't Prince Xiao also admire him and want to make friends with him..."

Before Li Weida finished his words, he was scolded by long Kai with a heavy face: "shut up. When Prince Xiao is one of those people who can't get on the table, you want to curry favor with me? I'll curry favor with him... Bah bah! What nonsense!"

For a moment, long Kai was almost incoherent and stopped quickly.

But he was really curious about the reason why Xiao Yuqi sent messengers to see him.

The crown prince of Dongwan, in terms of status, status and power, will never lose to his proud martial nephew Nalan night. Even compared with Nangong Qing, the emperor of Western Chu, it is basically the same. After all, Xiao Yuqi is the favorite son of Dongwan emperor. As the crown prince, Dongwan's future is naturally his!

At the thought of Dongwan's future emperor sending someone to find him, long Kai couldn't help getting excited.

But the more excited he was, the more alert he became. It's a great honor for him to climb up to Xiao Yuqi, but if he is used, he will be a liar. If he is deceived, won't he be ashamed?

Thinking of this, long Kai sneered: "I have never known anyone from Dongwan. Why did Prince Xiao send messengers to see me? Hum, I don't know where the liar came from. It's ridiculous to want to cheat here!"

This is also Li Weida's guess. Hearing the speech, he hurriedly said: "yes, marquis! If the liar comes, the little one will immediately drive him away..."

Long Kai stared in his eyes and said angrily, "what are you doing? I want to see the liar and see if he has the courage to cheat in the name of crown prince Dongwan! I want to expose this man's scam and let him know that I can't be used by anyone!"

Li Weida was stunned and smiled twice: "yes, Lord Hou is wise. I understand."

"Remember, don't make a noise about it until Ben Hou catches the liar!" Long Kai gave serious instructions on his face.

Li Weida answered and hurried down.

The time written on the prayer post happened to be late this afternoon. Long Kai disdained it on the surface, but he held a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if the visitor is really the messenger of Prince Dongwan? However, Xiao Yuqi has never dealt with him. Why did he send envoys to see him and make it clear that there should be no third party present? Are you going to tell him something confidential, or is there some conspiracy?

Or is it a hoax at all?

Anxiously and eagerly waiting, long Kai felt that time passed too slowly to even care about eating.

It was easy to wait until the housekeeper Li Weida told him that the messenger had come and had been led to the flower hall to wait. Long Kai suddenly jumped in his heart and couldn't express his expectation and vigilance.

Long Kai wore a purple gold crown, a smoky gray brocade and a white jade pine and crane pendant given by the emperor of the Western Chu Dynasty. His face was solemn and walked slowly and steadily into the flower hall.

It has to be said that long Kai's behavior is really shocking at first sight.

Although he is over forty years old, long Kai doesn't look old because of his deep internal power due to his years of martial arts practice. A few silver filaments are hidden in black hair. They are basically energetic. When I was young, I had a good appearance, good facial features and good looks. Now, although I have entered middle age, I still have a momentum of not being angry and powerful.

Lifting up his clothes, long Kai sat at the top of the flower hall without saying a word, and then looked at the man who stood up and smiled at him.

At first glance, there was nothing unusual, and the dress was similar to that of ordinary rich families in Western Chu. But the other party immediately introduced his identity and said straight to the point that he was an envoy sent by Prince Dongwan. He respected Marquis Weiwu and came to meet him.

Long Kai glanced at him lightly and sneered: "benhou has no contact with your prince. What does the prince admire benhou? Why doesn't benhou know?"

"The Marquis is brilliant and powerful. He forgot what he did?"

Dongwan emissary smiled knowingly, but what he said next stunned long Kai.

"Hou ye should have stayed in North Vietnam for some time before he came to Western Chu. If Hou Ye hadn't been wise and skillful and had seen through the tricks of the sheriff in charge of Hou, I'm afraid even if the king of Chu came in person, he couldn't solve the theft of North Vietnamese treasures so quickly!"

His smile was meaningful, but he talked about the most proud part of long Kai: "although our crown prince didn't intervene in this matter, he also knew that Guan Hou actually intended to rebel and subvert the Western Chu royal family, but his plans were understood by the Hou ye, so that he was on the verge of success! If it weren't for the action of the Hou ye, I'm afraid that the Western Chu is still in civil strife, would it be so stable and prosperous?"

"Even though the king of Chu used his troops like a God, once the war broke out, the people would be miserable and blood would flow into a river!"

Dongwan emissary looked admiring and said to long Kai, "it's all up to the Marquis to have today in Western Chu. On behalf of my royal highness crown prince Dongwan, I'd like to express my admiration to the marquis."

"Ha ha ha..."

Long Kai was very proud and laughed: "the crown prince is so polite. I don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"

This was originally the most proud thing in his life. He thought he could get a great reward before the Ming Dynasty of the Western Chu emperor. Unexpectedly, he was spared by Nalan night. If it's not for Nalan night's status, how can long Kai stop? Fortunately, when his daughter became a concubine, he was still granted the Marquis of Weiwu by the Western Chu emperor, which made him feel much better.

But when I think about it, the meaning of being awarded as Hou after meritorious service is quite different from that of being granted as a concubine by virtue of her daughter's entering the palace. Although long Kai is unwilling, he can only hold it in his heart and feel uncomfortable.

Now it is revealed by an outsider that the other party is the famous crown prince Xiao Yuqi of Dongwan. This is just talking about long Kai's heart. How can he not be proud? The previous vigilance gradually disappeared.

Immediately let people serve tea. Long Kai had a different attitude and talked and laughed with the Dongwan envoy.

The other party's speech was obviously extraordinary. No matter what long Kai said, the other party responded with a clear and well-informed appearance, which more and more attracted long Kai to believe his identity. After an hour of chatting and sighing, long Kai almost called each other brothers. If he hadn't suddenly remembered his identity with each other, he would be burning incense and making love to each other.

"The Duke is really very human. He has such excellent martial arts. If the prince sees him, I'm afraid he can't help competing with the Duke. Oh, by the way..." it seems that he suddenly remembered something. The envoy of Dongwan smiled and said: "what he said to the Duke is too speculative. I almost forgot that the gift the prince asked me to bring is for the Duke."

Long Kai was delighted: "what, the prince still has gifts?"

The envoy of Dongwan smiled meaningfully: "my prince intends to meet heroes such as the marquis. It's only a small gift and no respect. I just hope the Marquis doesn't dislike it."

With that, he asked long Kai to let his people in and wait at the corner gate of Suiyuan. Long Kai immediately asked the housekeeper Li Weida to deal with it. In a moment, several people came in with several boxes.

When he opened the box and saw the gifts inside, long Kai's eyes were straight.

The envoy of Dongwan stood in front of the first box, Xiaoyinyin said: "this box was personally selected by the crown prince. It is a century old East Pearl produced by the seabed of the minhai sea in Dongwan. Each one is taken from a hundred year old clam. It is not only mellow and precious, but also each one is the same size and valuable. If it is ground into powder, it can prolong life. It is a tribute treasure of the Dongwan royal family."

He picked up one with his fingers and said with a smile, "Lord, this one is worth 5000 Liang!"

God, five thousand Liang for one!

Long Kai's heart jumped wildly and tried to warn himself not to make a fuss, so as not to be underestimated by the other party.

The second big box was opened. Inside was a one person tall coral tree. Glittering and ruddy, just like blood, charming and dazzling, like branches and antlers, in a variety of forms and wantonly publicized. Long Kai had heard it even if he had not seen it. When he saw it, his eyes shrank and his heart almost jumped out.

Although he had seen such a precious coral tree in the palace and the coral in the homes of other officials at dinner, he saw it for the first time as bright and huge as the one in front of him. Long Kai saw that his palms were almost hot, but he had to restrain his excitement and pretend to be indifferent.

All the other boxes were precious. Long Kai could hold back all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings, jade ornaments and so on, but he was really excited when he saw the last one - a sword cutting gold and jade.

As soon as he grabbed the sword, he took it out with a clang. The light of the sword was cold and cold, like the pouring moonlight. A room of clear light accompanied by the sound of dragon singing. Long Kai looked at the long sword in his hand excitedly and praised it.

"I don't know. The prince gave these gifts to the marquis. Does the Marquis still like them?" Dongwan messenger asked with a smile.

"The prince is really very polite. These gifts are precious. How can I make the prince so interested?"

A deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and the face of Dongwan messenger changed, He leaned forward slightly and whispered, "don't you feel wronged that the Marquis has made great contributions to the Western Chu, but he has only to be a useless powerful Marquis? The Marquis's qianjinlong girl is a great beauty and a pair of excellent people with the king of Chu, but she was despised by the king of Chu and finally entered the palace as a concubine. Don't you feel wronged?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party's conversation changed, he even talked about this. Long Kai turned black and said in a deep voice, "what do you mean by saying this? Is it all your crown prince Dongwan's meaning?"

"Hehe, don't misunderstand me, marquis."

Dongwan emissary said, "our prince is unworthy for the Duke. The Duke is bent on the king of Chu and the West Chu, but he is perfunctory by his majesty of the West Chu. Even the king of Chu has lost respect for the Duke. If the Duke is willing to make friends with our prince, his Highness is willing to share the income equally with the Duke after the matter is completed, and will not deceive each other! If there is any violation, heaven will punish the earth!"
