Upon hearing this, Fu Cailin couldn't help but feel sad.

Who would have thought that in Li Shouxi's eyes, Goryeo wasn't even qualified for marriage?

He was angry for sure, but he then saw the disdain and contempt in the eyes of the Japanese delegation, and saw Li Shouxi's silence.

Goryeo?

They really have no qualifications to marry into the Prince of Yan's Palace. Even their Japan sent the most honorable Princess Shenxiu from Japan as a tribute!

Shenxiu is the princess chosen by God!

Moreover, Princess Shenxiu was a concubine, not a concubine.

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty? Are you trying to humiliate me, Goryeo, who has no one?"

“Strength is the basis of equal status!

Fu Jianshou might be called a god in Goryeo, but looking at Kyushu, the ninth rank is just a stepping stone to a first-rate force, and a first-rate force cannot protect a dynasty.

Moreover, what does Fu Jianshou think of Shaoqing's swordsmanship? "

Naked humiliation!

Fu Cailin is known as the number one swordsman in Goryeo and a sword immortal in the profound realm. Who would have thought that Li Shouxi would compare him with a eunuch?

But if you think about it carefully, Cao Shaoqing, who is known as the Demon Sword Immortal, is just a steward in the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Only then did Fu Cailin understand:

His arrogant self-esteem was nothing but a joke in front of Prince Yan's Mansion.

“If you have time, Fu Jianshou can go visit several tribes in the north.

To be honest, compared to Wanyan Wudi, the Great Martial Saint, and the Buyeo Sword Saint, you have been high and mighty for too long."

""

Fu Cailin did not refute, even though he wanted to rebuke it.

But even Fu Jun'er and her two daughters had no right to shout in front of Li Shouxi.

If someone had treated Fu Cailin like this under normal circumstances, they would have drawn their swords in anger.

But they knew that Li Shouxi was not really humiliating Fu Cailin.

There is only one Demon Sword Immortal in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but he is able to compete with their master, not to mention how many ninth-rank masters there are in the Prince of Yan's Mansion?

Especially the Eight Trigrams Heaven Sealing Formation that day, wasn’t it just eight top grandmasters?

The Prince of Yan's Palace can be described as a truly transcendent behemoth.

"But Your Highness, don't you want to know who I will marry into Goryeo? They are none other than the three beloved disciples sitting here!"

Fu Jun'er! Fu Junyu! Fu Junqiang!

After taking a quick glance at the shy and blushing beauty, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Shouxi's starry eyes.

After all, the three women's looks are very good, and they are second only to Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, Shi Qingxuan and other beauties in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, their strength is at least eighth rank, and they have the potential to be ninth rank.

"Fu Jianshou's three best disciples? Fu Jianshou is willing to give them up!"

Li Shouxi's eyes narrowed and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

It's not that he is lustful. After all, there are many beautiful women around him now, and even the four girls of Mei Jian have not been taken into his room yet.

But these three women have good qualifications. With a little training in the future, they will be able to be promoted to the ninth rank.

You should know that there are many female masters in Jiuzhou, but not many of them can be promoted to the ninth rank, and they are all the backbones of the major forces.

Fu Cailin's three disciples are all one in a million.

Chapter 150 Princess Shenxiu

"I can give them a chance to serve as sword servants in Prince Yan's Palace. The reward is 100,000 dan of grain per person per year!"

"Sword Servant? One hundred thousand shi of grain per year?"

Fu Cailin didn't expect that Li Shouxi would be so careful.

For a moment, veins in his heart bulged, but Li Shouxi seemed not to notice and continued~:

"How many years has it been since Fu Jianshou walked among the lower classes of the Goryeo people?

You know that the Goryeo people have millions of people and the annual food shortage is at least one million dan, which is all made up by the Prince of Yan's Palace.

Three hundred thousand shi of grain every year could save at least 100,000 more Korean families!

Otherwise, where did those Silla maids come from?"

Li Shouxi didn't feel that there was anything mysterious about Fu Cailin.

Or it can be said that Fu Cailin was too focused on the unity of man and nature and completely ignored the people's livelihood issues. This is the biggest difference between the two.

Fu Cailin only seeks lofty ideals and strives for them;

Li Shouxi was pragmatic about people's livelihood, won the hearts of the people, and started from the basics.

"What does your Highness mean by this? Are the people of Goryeo so unbearable?"

Li Shouxi shook his head and did not answer.

Fu Cailin obviously had not really visited the lower classes of Goryeo. Even if he had visited incognito, he was probably only visiting some middle-class people. Moreover, how could ordinary people show their true side to a mythical figure like him?

Even Li Shouxi was no exception. Everywhere Li Shouxi saw was a prosperous place.

Li Shouxi looked at the Japanese delegation waiting respectfully on the side and chuckled:

"I have received the general's gift. As a receipt:

One hundred dan of tribute rice, three thousand pieces of silk, nine thousand glazed vessels. In addition, the Prince of Yan's Palace has recently brewed some new ice wine. When the time comes, the envoy will escort twenty barrels to the general and the Japanese emperor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Li Shouxi's return gift, the delegation was quite excited.

Ice wine goes without saying, and the tribute rice is the tribute to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, the top-quality rice.

The princess who married into another country——Shenxiu!

Dowry: Ten seven-knife swords, ten thousand gold ingots, one hundred thousand silver ingots

Li Shouxi counted all the treasures presented by Japan as dowry.

Tribute and dowry are two completely different concepts.

The tribute belonged to Li Shouxi;

The dowry items still belong to Princess Shenxiu.

Princess Shenxiu was the bargaining chip for the marriage between Japan and Li Shouxi.

Li Shouxi did not refuse this.

This is a normal diplomatic marriage method. If Li Shouxi does not accept it, then the Japanese side will become suspicious.

As for how to deal with Princess Shenxiu?

Of course, they are not old enough, so they have to consummate the marriage when they reach adulthood.

Yes, at that time Princess Shenxiu was only fifteen years old, or even less than fifteen years old, one year younger than Jiang Ni at that time, so Li Shouxi was not worried at all about the suspicion from Japan.

Li Shouxi already had a canary, so he wasn't short of another one.

As long as there is a precedent, the Japanese people will naturally think that Li Shouxi is considerate of Princess Shenxiu.

"Cousin, are you going to take another concubine? Can the woman around you now take care of me?"

Shang Xiuxun is Li Shouxi's cousin, and she has several big guys backing her up, so she didn't show any mercy when she criticized Li Shouxi.

Even Li Sili, Zhao Linger and Jiang Ni looked at Li Shouxi. They also felt that there were enough beauties around Li Shouxi. In addition to the four of them, there were also the four girls of Mei Jian, and even Yan Shisanniang and A Tuoya from Fanlou were interested in Li Shouxi.

"It's not that I want to take a concubine, but that Japan wants an alliance."

Li Shouxi also knew that the women could not accept it, but as a king, marriage alliance was the same.

"But don't worry, that little girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old. I will not touch her for at least three or four years."

When the girls heard this, they immediately remembered that they were also sent here for marriage.

The feeling of helplessness arranged by fate made them completely powerless to resist, so they suddenly became less hostile towards another girl arranged by fate.

"Cousin, have you seen her?"

“No, it was put into the back garden like an item. I am not in charge of the inner storehouse, so I just glanced at the gift list.

However, I will classify the tribute from Japan as her dowry, so she can be considered a wealthy woman among you."

puff!

When the girls heard this, they all couldn't believe it.

Like an item being carried into the inner courtyard and stored? What is this operation?

Except for Li Shouxi who knew the nature of the Japanese people, the other women did not know much about Japan, and some even thought it was just a small country on the border of Liaodong.

But in Li Shouxi's view, this is normal.

Items listed as tribute included women.

"Don't have too much contact with her. Just visit her from time to time, but don't get too close to her."

Li Shouxi's instructions made Zhao Linger realize that something was not simple.

If they were really sisters among them, Li Shouxi would not have said so. It was obvious that he was on guard against the other party.

"My husband, is there going to be any changes in the Japanese Alliance?"

They don't think there will be any problems with the marriage. The only thing that may affect the marriage is the alliance of ties.

"The Japanese are not kind people, and are independent of my control. Once they rise up, they will surely devour their master. This is their bad nature.

The cooperation between the king and them is only temporary, so whether Princess Shenxiu can eventually become your sister depends on their decision in a few years in Japan, so you can just be casual friends."

"I understand, husband!"

The women also nodded. These were men's affairs, and the most important thing for them was to support their men.

"By the way, this year is a new year again. Jiang Er is seventeen years old now. If she breaks through to the quasi-ninth rank next year, we will consummate the marriage. Otherwise, we will consummate the marriage whenever she breaks through to the quasi-ninth rank!"

Upon hearing this, the girls immediately looked at the girl who was hiding her head at his chest.

The red and shy cheeks almost suffocated to death.

Moreover, at this time, Jiang Ni had already reached the eighth level of martial arts. In two years, he had made rapid progress and was unstoppable.

In addition to the resources of Prince Yan's Mansion, there is the mystery of the Art of Immortality. Jiang Ni's aptitude is almost that of a congenital Taoist, which allows her to progress at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.

I believe that in another year I will be able to reach the quasi-ninth rank, and the ninth rank is within reach!

"What if I break through to the Quasi-Ninth Rank ahead of time?"

Jiang Ni's murmurs were as soft as those of a mosquito or fly. Everyone present could hear them clearly. They all sighed. Jiang Ni was so embarrassed that she almost found a crack in the ground to crawl into.

After nearly two years of getting along, Jiang Ni has not completely fallen in love with the young prince in front of her, but she has completely accepted her fate.

The most important thing is that feeling of being out of place and alienated when we are together.

She seemed like an outsider who couldn't fully fit in.

Chapter 151: Choice

"Shenxiu meets His Highness!"

Under a loose black kimono, a girl who looked like a deity sat among the flowers. She was elegant, beautiful, gentle, and had a beautiful face as fair as ice. Even Li Shouxi's eyes could not help but flash with amazement.

But that's just it.

There is never a shortage of beauties in Prince Yan’s mansion.

What's more, there are countless people who want to curry favor with Prince Yan's Mansion, and there is no shortage of forces willing to send women.
