Before the officer could finish his words, Xue Qing quickly pressed down the lid of the box, then approached the officer and said, "Sir, please be patient. Look carefully!"
As he spoke, a bulging small cloth bag appeared on Xue Qing's sleeve.
The rat-looking officer just now reacted extremely quickly and swallowed the words he had just spoken.
His eyes were focused on the small bag in Xue Qing's hand. He said, "What is this? Bring it here so I can see it."
Xue Qing's face was full of smirks, and he said, "Yes, yes, yes, sir, please look!"
The officer with a rat-like look narrowed his eyes as he took the cloth bag, opened it and took a look. Seeing that it was filled with mid-grade spirit stones, a trace of greed suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He ordered the soldiers next to him, "Go check the people behind you. I'm in charge of this team."
It seemed that this was not the first time that the soldiers had encountered such a situation. Without saying much, they walked towards the convoy behind.
"I say, this box of blood flowers is a contraband item. You're sending it out of the customs in front of me. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
The officer narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Qing.
Xue Qing chuckled when he heard this and said, "General, you know, this thing is very valuable outside the Great Wall. As businessmen, we naturally hope to make more money.
Sir, if you don't want us to send this box out of the customs, we will keep it here and let you keep it.
But next time, we will definitely not deliver these goods.”
While Xue Qing was speaking, he glanced at the cloth bag in the officer's hand.
Upon seeing this, the officer hurriedly stuffed the bag into his arms and said, "Well, I'll think about it!"
"Master Jun, you also know that businessmen like us are definitely not doing one-time deals. Every time I transport these things back and forth, I will definitely bring you some benefits.
Even if we earn more, we will not forget your contribution, right
If my business gets bigger in the future, I will recruit more people and bring in more truckloads of goods. Then the things I give you will naturally increase several times. Do you think this is something you need to consider?"
Xue Qing whispered to the officer.
Upon hearing this, the officer's eyes glowed with greed, and he said, "Okay...Okay, you can go through, the goods have been confirmed to be fine.
But you have to remember what you said, I am the one guarding this door, if you want to pass smoothly, you have to fulfill your promise. "
Xue Qing nodded and said, "Of course, it won't be a loss for you, General.
Junye, we will leave first, so that we can make money earlier and come back earlier to do the next business."
The officer waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, don't waste time, there is a convoy waiting behind us!"
After Xue Qing thanked the other party, he swaggered out of the checkpoint with Ye Li and Li Rushan.
Seeing that they and others had successfully passed the customs, Ye Li and Li Rushan both smiled.
Now they are no longer within the territory of the Tang State, and there should be no power to pursue and intercept them.
"Qing'er, why did you make such a scene just now? Can't we just pass it directly?"
Li Rushan thought of the conversation between Xue Qing and the officer just now and asked in confusion.
Xue Qing gently straightened her wind-blown hair and said, "What do you know? What I just did was for the future.
If you find help from the Skyfire Clan in the future, they will definitely come in large numbers.
Do you think such a large group of foreigners can pass through the Tang border at will
If I don't open up the joints in advance, it won't be easy to pass through this pass if I need to use it in the future.
Always plan ahead for everything so that you will be able to deal with the situation quickly once it occurs.
You just lacked the foresight to plan ahead, which is why Li Ruhai has schemed you into the current situation. If I were you, I would have killed him long ago, and would not have waited for him to harm me."
Hearing Xue Qing's words, Ye Li and Li Rushan couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
After all, Li Rushan knew Xue Qing and was somewhat mentally prepared. Ye Li really did not expect that the woman in front of him had such long-term plans and intentions.
He now truly admires Xue Qing.
Li Rushan said: "Qing'er, you... you have already thought so far for me!
Yes, in the past few years, you have always thought a lot and far for me, but I have always been stupid and never understood what you were doing.
Qing'er, if...if I can really come back this time and turn things around, would you...would you be willing to go back to the palace with me?"
When Xue Qing heard Li Rushan's question, his whole body trembled and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
She turned her head and looked at Li Rushan. She didn't answer for a long while. She saw the sweat on Li Rushan's back, and then she said, "Do you think you dare not come to me just because you can't turn over
I tell you, if you can turn over and become the emperor, I will follow you to the palace. If you can't turn over, you should get out of here and come to Lihua City. We will go outside the Great Wall and never set foot in the Tang Kingdom again, okay?"
Hearing Xue Qing's words, Li Rushan was shocked. He stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him and was speechless for a moment.
Ye Li looked at the two of them with some envy, and a feeling of blessing rose in his heart.
The saying "a friend in need is a friend indeed" was perfectly demonstrated by these two people.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
After a long time, Li Rushan finally nodded and uttered five words.
Although there were fewer words, the tone was extremely firm. After Xue Qing heard it, a hint of tenderness finally appeared on his face.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time before they remembered that Ye Li was beside them. They immediately looked at Ye Li with a slight blush on their faces.
Seeing this, Ye Li laughed and said, "You can continue to watch for a while. I'm not in a hurry to leave anyway."
Hearing Ye Li's teasing, the two of them laughed at each other.
After Xue Qing sent the two out of seclusion, she had no plans to follow the Tianhuo clan. She wanted to stay in the Tang Kingdom to collect intelligence for Li Rushan, and when the time was right, secretly contact the ministers who were loyal to Li Rushan.
After Ye Li and Li Rushan left the car and the goods to Xue Qing, they set out for the Eastern Skyfire Clan. This time the journey was quite long, and the two did not know how many things they would encounter along the way.
… … … …
Four days later, in the palace, Li Ruhai sat on the throne he had longed for with a smile on his face.
In front of him, all the ministers holding important positions knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Just the day before, Li Ruhai had completed the coronation ceremony and completely seized the right to inherit the throne, and the voices supporting Li Rushan gradually faded.
