Madam General, please run slower.

Chapter 119 She is very powerful

The Northern King was so excited that he forgot the purpose of his appointment with Yu Xun and started to tell him about his glorious history of chasing his wife. Yu Xun also listened carefully and wanted to take a small notebook to write down everything he said.

It was not until there was a knock on the door that King Bei stopped talking and let the person in.

A servant came to deliver the cut fruits and vegetables, and before leaving, he bowed respectfully and said, "The master said that from now on, this private room will cost fifty taels every half hour. Please pay attention to the time, King Bei and the general."

Xiao Yan almost spit out a mouthful of tea, "Ahem, fifty taels for half an hour, why doesn't she just come and rob it."

"Please forgive me, King Bei. We have an auction tonight and private rooms are in short supply right now. Fifty taels is the lowest price the master will give you considering our acquaintance." The servant explained calmly, not showing any fear because of the identities of the two people in front of him.

"I know, I know. She can even make a case for robbing money openly and with good reason." Xiao Yan waved his hand and drove the person out. He had suffered many losses at the hands of Li and knew very well that he could not bargain with her no matter who he was with.

Yu Xun also came back to his senses at this time. The real owner of this auction house was not the King of the North but Qu Tangli. So, is she richer than him now?

"Your Highness, how did you know...?" Yu Xun asked hesitantly, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to address Qu Tangli.

Fortunately, the King of the North understood what he meant. "You are talking about Ali. Three years ago, she went to the Northern Territory and was looking for something. She accidentally ran into my wife. As you know, the princess's spiritual power is disordered and she has been in poor health since she was a child. I don't know what method Ali used to cure my wife. After a few visits, I became familiar with her."

"She's very powerful." Yu Xun couldn't help but smile when he said this, but the bitterness in his eyes didn't escape Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Having a wife who is more capable than you is something worth bragging about." Xiao Yan patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Everyone knows that I, the King of Zhenbei, am brave and fearless, but few people know that my sickly wife's riding and archery skills are even better than mine. Sometimes I also wonder if I am not good enough to be worthy of her."

Yu Xun never expected that the Northern King, who had never been defeated on the battlefield and was like a god in the military camp, would have such thoughts.

Seeing Yu Xun's expression, Xiao Yan burst into laughter. "You know, I told my wife about this idea, and she chased me around the yard and beat me up. She said that since I thought she was so amazing, why should I deny her vision? The person she identified is naturally the best in the world!"

When talking about the latter part, Xiao Yan's tone was extremely proud, just like a young boy in love.

Yu Xun inexplicably felt a little full. Seeing that Xiao Yan wanted to talk about his wife, Yu Xun quickly changed the subject, "So, Your Majesty asked me to come here today, is there something important to discuss?"

Xiao Yan finally remembered the purpose of today, "I am going back to the Northern Territory. Considering the current situation in the capital, I can cooperate with you to help stabilize the government."

"Go back to the Northern Territory? Don't you want that position?" Yu Xun was a little puzzled. He always thought that the King of the North sent troops this time for that position.

"That position is extremely troublesome. It's better to be free in the Northern Territory. I'm here for the prince's head this time." When Xiao Yan said this, he gritted his teeth and wished he could bring the prince out again to whip his corpse.

"His grandfather shamelessly fell in love with my mother. After he became a Duke, he repeatedly targeted our Northern Territory. Now that he has taken the throne, he has set his eyes on my wife and even sent people to kidnap her. Do you think I can tolerate this?"

After hearing what the Northern King said, Yu Xun felt that the prince deserved to be put to death. He deserved to be killed by a married woman after falling in love with her.

"The young prince Qu Shi does not have his own opinions. The current court is almost dominated by the Duke's family. It is not wise for the prince to seek cooperation with me." Yu Xun reached out and poured a cup of tea for the King of the North.

Xiao Yan did not take the teacup, staring at Yu Xun with a half-smile, "I thought so at first, and it was Ah Li who recommended you to me as the Zhennan General. Only then did I know that you, a junior, have done so much for Qianwu. You really lived up to your name 'Yu'."

"She recommended me?!" Yu Xun was a little surprised. The heart in his chest that had been depressed for a long time began to beat uncontrollably again.

"Yes, Ah Li said that if I want a loyal minister who is dedicated to serving the people, you would be a good choice. You must have spent a lot of time and effort to appease the refugees and stabilize the border over the years." Xiao Yan took a sip of tea. As a person who had experienced it, he advised kindly, "General Zhennan, think about it carefully. Perhaps your wife has helped you a lot in places you don't know."

"I understand." Yu Xun suppressed his emotions. He couldn't wait to meet her. "Your Highness, why don't you talk about cooperation?"

"No hurry. I spent fifty taels. We have to talk for half an hour." Xiao Yan said slowly. Seeing Yu Xun like this, he felt as if he saw himself when he was young. For some reason, he wanted to make things difficult for him.

When he got married, he went through a lot of hardships. He had even been caught in the rain, so this younger generation must also experience it.

This was the most difficult half hour for Yu Xun. As soon as the time was up, Yu Xun could not wait to bow and leave, and went to look for someone without looking back.

"I want to find your master." Yu Xun pulled the servant at the door over, his words full of anxiety.

"Sir, have you registered or brought an invitation?" The servant asked softly without losing his composure even when being grabbed by the collar.

"No."

"If you don't have any of these, you won't be able to see the master. I can take you to register your information. If the master agrees to meet, we will contact you."

"What if I want to meet him now?" Yu Xun frowned. He didn't expect that meeting would be so troublesome.

"Then there is nothing we can do." The servant seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing happening. He gently hooked his hands behind his back, and immediately two strong men came over, and the threat was very obvious.

Wei Yi also appeared from the darkness when Yu Xun was surrounded, raising his sword to block Yu Xun.

When the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Wei Xianchen's nasty voice suddenly interrupted, "If you fight, you will be banned from entering the auction house forever. General Zhennan, you better think about it."

Yu Xun pursed his lips and signaled Wei Yi to put away his sword. Wei Xianchen also waved his hand to let the servant leave. Seeing that it was him, the servant bowed respectfully.

"Are you the boss's ex-husband? He doesn't look that good." Wei Xianchen looked at Yu Xun without any courtesy.

Hearing Wei Xianchen addressing Li, Yu Xun couldn't help but think of the extremely good-looking subordinate that Wu Huang had mentioned before, and he also looked back at him. Tsk, this guy doesn't look that good.

Feeling the disgust in Yu Xun's eyes, Wei Xianchen gritted his teeth. If this was not what Li had ordered him to do, he would have beaten him up right now.

"Let's go, the boss is waiting for you." After saying that, Wei Xianchen turned around and left, not caring whether the people behind him followed or not.

In the private room, Li was flipping through today's auction brochure when Wei Xianchen arrived before he even showed up.

"Boss Li, I've brought the person here~"
