Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Qin Han did not ask Lin Pingzhi how he got A Fei to work for Luo Wang.

Now he only cares about the outcome.

Where is Xie Xiaofeng?

Lin Pingzhi stood below and spoke helplessly.

"Senior Xie said that the Tianshan Mountains are a good place for fishing recently, so I took my son fishing."

Qin Han casually said, "Never mind, let him be."

"By the way, don't let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in here in the future. You can handle these kinds of things yourself; you don't need to come and ask me about them."

Lin Pingzhi lowered his head and agreed.

"Understood."

He had only just left the room when a noise came from the direction of the Chengdu city gate.

A troop of elite cavalry, flying the royal flag of the Western Xia dynasty, arrived at the East Gate. The gatekeeper, after recognizing the markings, quickly sent someone to report to the royal palace.

Yeli Chang, the Western Xia official in charge of the delegation, had sweat beading on his forehead. The person sitting in the carriage behind him was not a palace maid.

The carriage curtain was lifted slightly.

Li Qinglu peeked out, looking at the street outside.

"This is Chengdu, my lord's place. It's much more lively than our Xingqing Prefecture."

Ye Lichang leaned closer, lowered his voice, and gave a bitter look.

"Your Majesty! If those civil officials of Western Xia were to hear you address me as 'Prime Minister,' this old minister fears they would skin me alive and burn me alive!"

Li Qinglu withdrew her gaze and chuckled, "What's there to be afraid of? It's only natural for me to come and see my own man."

"Besides, I'm currently traveling incognito. If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know?"

Ye Lichang was quite helpless; he only found out halfway there that this living ancestor had followed him.

The group soon arrived at the Qin Prince's Mansion. Ye Lichang straightened his clothes and presented his congratulatory message. The gatekeeper, who had already been instructed, invited the guests from Western Xia into the main hall.

But when Li Qinglu stepped out of the carriage, the gatekeeper was so frightened that his legs went weak.

Which gatekeeper in a prince's mansion doesn't have some discernment?

Why did the Empress of Western Xia come here in person?

This side of the main hall.

Li Canghai and Liao Fang were checking the guest list for the wedding when Liao Fang looked over after hearing the announcement.

A young woman dressed in a moon-white brocade robe walked in gracefully. She had a beautiful and refined appearance, and the way she walked indicated that she was not from an ordinary family.

Li Qinglu greeted Liao Fang and Li Canghai, who were seated in the main seats, with great respect.

"Qinglu has met her mother-in-law and her eldest sister."

Liao Fang quickly went over to examine her closely: "Miss, who are you?!"

Li Canghai looked at Li Qiushui's granddaughter with some strangeness; the generational order was a bit messed up, but this little empress was quite clever.

As soon as I entered, I lowered my posture to the lowest level.

Li Qinglu hurried over and bowed to Liao Fang again.

"Mother-in-law, Qinglu's visit this time was a bit abrupt. I hope you won't take offense."

Liao Fang walked over, took her hand, and examined her closely.

"Qinglu? You're the wife Han'er married in Western Xia?"

Li Qinglu bowed her head and responded.

"It is Qinglu. I should have come to pay my respects to my mother-in-law earlier, but I really couldn't leave Xixia."

Liao Fang looked at the woman in front of her and nodded repeatedly. This daughter-in-law was the Empress of Western Xia.

If word got out that this identity, the Qin family's ancestral graves would be emitting auspicious smoke.

"Good, good, good, what a wonderful girl!"

Before long, the women arrived upon hearing the news, all eyeing the new guest.

Qin Keqing covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"My sister's manners are so impeccable, even my mother-in-law felt sorry for her just now."

Wang Yuyan stood quietly to the side, unaware that this was her sister. She only felt that this Empress of Western Xia was not the same as she had imagined.

She had no airs of a queen and looked just like a newlywed bride.

Azi moved closer to Azhu.

"Sister, this is another one who's here to share a brother-in-law."

Azhu slapped her in annoyance.

"You should say less!"

Li Qinglu bowed to Qin Keqing and the others.

"Qinglu greets all the elder sisters."

That "sister" sounded so natural.

The women who were initially somewhat resentful saw this and decided not to say anything more, after all, she was an empress who possessed a vast territory.

Now they bow softly here, and no one dares to argue with them.

Li Canghai looked at Li Qinglu.

"Qinglu is very popular with your mother-in-law. Why don't you spend more time chatting with her, and then have Qin Lang come over tonight to welcome her back?"

Li Qinglu agreed in a low voice and hurriedly told Liao Fang about the differences between their Western Xia and this place.

Yeli Chang stood waiting at the bottom of the steps outside the main hall, occasionally wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

He was relieved to see his empress being invited into the inner courtyard, where the steward of the palace was waiting for him with a list of gifts.

"My lord, is this a gift from your country?"

Ye Lichang quickly handed over the list, and the manager almost swayed as he opened the booklet and read the contents.

The gift list was densely filled with items, including a thousand top-quality warhorses alone.

In addition, there were various glass cups from the Western Regions, Hetian jade, century-old snow lotus, and two hundred jars of Gaochang wine. There were more than thirty vehicles in the convoy transporting these items.

Guests passing by couldn't help but stop and take a second look at the items listed on the menu.

The entourage that accompanied this king was even more extravagant than when a king married off a princess.

Ye Lichang nearly fainted at the sight; his empress was truly willing to sacrifice so much...

The news quickly reached Qin Han, and when he arrived, he saw Li Qinglu sitting next to Liao Fang talking.

Cheng Ying stood to the side, tugging at Qin Han's clothes.

"My lord, your Empress is truly generous, giving away a thousand warhorses without a second thought."

Qin Han pinched her cheek.

"What's wrong, is Cheng Mei jealous?"

Cheng Ying turned her head away and remained silent.

Qin Han moved closer.

"When you want to travel in the future, I'll take you to Jiangnan for a visit."

Cheng Ying looked at Qin Han and smiled, "Okay, but my master will be here soon. I wonder what you're going to say to him."

Qin Han was embarrassed; he really didn't know Huang Yaoshi would come.

The old man valued loyalty above all else, and now that he had managed to win over the young apprentice, he was really having a headache.

Liao Fang saw Qin Han at the door and waved.

"Han'er, come here quickly! Qinglu has come all this way, and you, her husband, don't even bother to check on her?"

Qin Han sat down next to Li Qinglu and heard her speak.

"My love, Qinglu misses you so much."

Qin Han took her hand.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming so I could have sent someone to pick you up."

Li Qinglu responded softly.

"Qinglu just wanted to give her husband a surprise."

Liao Fang watched the two of them from the side.

"Look, what a wonderful daughter-in-law."

That evening, the Prince's Mansion hosted a private banquet for Li Qinglu. The banquet was held in the warm pavilion in the back garden, and only the women from Qin Han's side were present.

Li Qinglu filled her wine jug, picked up her cup, and stood up to look around.

"This cup of wine, Qinglu, is offered to all my sisters."

Qin Keqing did not expect that the other party, as the Empress of Western Xia, would adopt such a humble attitude.
