Seeing that the person he was waiting for finally arrived, He Panren immediately waved away all the wives and servants in the house, including the two wives of He and Cao, and then raised his finger slightly to the three brothers who were standing at the door. Li Yao, who was sitting side by side with him on the banquet, chuckled and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you come up and pay homage to the princess?"

When the three of them saw the appearance of this crowned lady, and then heard the word "princess" uttered from the eldest brother's mouth, they suddenly felt like they were going back in time.

Due to their limited social status, the only princess of the Tang Dynasty they had seen so far was Princess Pingyang, who passed away more than two months ago, and that was a few years ago when Princess Pingyang was called "Li Sanniangzi".

Is it possible that...among the princesses of this dynasty, there is someone who looks exactly like Princess Pingyang?

After a while, the three young and uncertain Hu men finally regained their composure and stepped forward together. Facing Li Yao, they patted their chests with their right hands, raised their left hands, bowed their heads, and performed the standard greeting ceremony for nobles from the Western Regions: " He Pan Li, go three, He Pan Zhi, go four, He Pan Xin, go five, pay homage to the princess."

With Li Yao calmly saying "no courtesy", the three of them sat down respectively. He Panren placed a luminous pearl on the table in front of him in time and said: "I summoned you here today for only one purpose." , just to help the princess sell such treasures."

Among the five He brothers, He Panxin, who was the youngest and looked to be only twenty years old, finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart when he heard this. He turned to Li Yao, bowed, and asked respectfully: "How dare you, me?" I wonder what the princess’s title is?”

He Panren and He Panyi looked at each other and laughed helplessly. After a moment, He Panren restrained his smile and said seriously: "In our He family, apart from Princess Pingyang, who has a heart as broad as the earth, who else from the Tang Dynasty can be willing to do so?" Come to be a guest at a Hu family..." He then used the most concise and vivid language to describe how Princess Pingyang faked her death to avoid the struggle for imperial power, how she became a monk in Mount Zhongnan, how she met him and He Panyi, and how she met him and He Panyi. How do you want to sell the treasures buried with you in order to be self-sufficient and live a wealthy and secluded life?

Therefore, in order to keep the secret, the five brothers of the He family finally swore a strong oath in front of Princess Pingyang and changed their names to Li Yao as Mingzhen.

As for the profits from the sale of the treasures, Li Yao said on the spot that he was willing to split it 50-50 with the He family.

After much deliberation, the Ho brothers finally agreed to take only 20% of their income. The eldest brother, Pan Yan, even generously stated that he would not take any penny.

However, when Li Yao expressed his intention to personally participate in the westward journey, he was immediately opposed by all the five He brothers.

Of course, objections will definitely be invalid.

Because Li Yao said decisively: "I have made up my mind! Even if you don't let me go with you, I will go to Shazhou on my own!"

Next, regarding the preparations for the trip to Shazhou, everyone performed their own duties and the arrangements were quickly completed.

After the serious talk, He Panren sent someone to call all his dozens of wives, children, and other family members. He also invited musicians from his family to hold a musical dinner in the style of the Western Regions.

"Taoist priest, this is Brahmin flying cake, it's very sweet."

"Try the roasted lamb, a specialty of Kangguo. It is very tender and delicious."

"This is my own collection of Persian wine, and I would like to invite the Taoist priest to drink it..."

Under He Panren's instructions, He and Cao took the initiative to sit next to Li Yao and took turns pouring wine and food for her. Facing the delicious feast from countless countries, Li Yao could not withstand it. Soon

Feeling a little full, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Ladies, Pindao has already eaten."

He Panren smiled and joked: "The Taoist priest could eat a whole roasted lamb back then, but now his appetite has become smaller!"

Li Yao didn't expect that Princess Pingyang, who was so beautiful and elegant, would behave like a woman with such a big stomach. She couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, quickly put on a serious look, and said: "The appetite is small and numerous, there is no need to

Too many meals are difficult to eliminate, often like being hungry when you are full, being full when you are hungry, eating too much wine and meat, and being crazy and unsustainable. Greedy food can cause diarrhea. Eating cooked food is better than eating raw food, and eating less is better than eating too much. This is the right way to maintain health.

."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. He eagerly presented a piece of tempting food to Li Yao, and said enthusiastically: "This 'Jin Su Ping' is a rare delicacy in the world. It is said that these golden ingredients on it come from the far north."

, Taoist priest, let’s take a bite!”

Li Yao took a closer look and almost drooled. What a good guy, it turned out to be caviar! He had to compromise and said: "Okay, I'll just eat some more..."

…

…

If Li Yao hadn't had a mediocre drinker and got drunk early, I'm afraid her belly would have been burst open by He Panren's two lovely wives with delicious food. When Li Yao woke up, it was already noon the next day, in the presence of several maids from He's house.

Under the service, Li Yao took a fragrant flower bath that he was not used to, changed into a clean Taoist robe, covered himself with a power fence, and then followed He Panli, the youngest member of the He family who had been waiting for a long time, to the West Market to deal with his preparations for the journey to the west.

The first thing is to buy someone.

In fact, as a person who was deeply influenced by human rights ideas in later generations, Li Yao still felt a little uncomfortable with the ancient human trafficking.

But she wanted to form a escort team to her satisfaction, but it was impossible to recruit enough people in just three days of preparation.

So, she had no choice but to follow He Panli, an expert in human trafficking.

The slave trading area is located in the northwest corner of the West Market, right next to the horse shop.

Li Yao couldn't help but sigh, this was the place where Princess Taiping later built the life-release pond.

However, at this time, the "release pool" was still an open space, dotted with large and small tents, which dazzled people.

While saying hello to acquaintances, He Panli led Li Yao to the destination like a fish swimming through countless tents.

Compared with the large tents where female slaves were sold, the tent in front of Li Yao was obviously much smaller. When the trafficker standing at the entrance of the tent saw Li Yao, who was covered in a power fence, his eyes became strange, and he saw

He Panli, an old acquaintance standing next to him, bowed his hands and smiled obscenely at Li Yao: "You two, come in and take a look. This place is full of top-quality goods. I'm sure the lady will be satisfied."

As soon as he stepped into the tent, Li Yao suddenly felt as if several strange eyes were falling on him, and he glanced at them involuntarily.

But I saw that there were about ten cages inside, and each cage contained a person. They were all muscular and tall.
