Gu Qinghan said, "Miss Tang is a good-nature and kind person. You ask someone to come to the house, so how can Miss Tang refuse? Yesterday morning, Miss Tian was in Miss Tang's house. At noon, I asked someone to arrange meals for their mother and daughter. I only took two sets of medicine to leave in the afternoon. I heard that the girl Tian's eye disease was not easy to treat, and it took some time to come and take a look every few days."

Qi Ning said happily: "That means, there is really hope?"

Gu Qinghan said, "If you go back and ask Miss Tang, I can't explain it clearly. But since they are allowed to come here often, there should be some hope." He sighed, "It's a pity to think about it. I heard that the girl has suffered from eye disease for many years and has seen many doctors, but it has not improved. If Miss Tang really cured her this time, she would have accumulated great virtue."

"The previous Beijing city's poisonous virus was the one who took action." Qi Ning smiled and said, "If you talk about accumulating virtue, the virtue she accumulated will be enough to use for several lifetimes."

Gu Qinghan closed the box and said, "Okay, you go to have a meal first, I need to clean up here too."

Qi Ning hurriedly said, "Sanniang, don't worry, I have something to ask you."

"What's up?"

"Sanniang, do you know Beigong Liancheng?" Qi Ning asked, "One of the five great masters in the world, is called the Sword God."

Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "Are you talking about the second elder of the Qi family? Why did you suddenly think of him?"

"Sanniang, how much do you know about Beigong?" Qi Ning asked, "He is from the Qi family, why is his surname Beigong?"

Gu Qinghan thought for a while before saying, "When I got married, the second old master was no longer in the mansion. In fact, he had never been to the Marquis' Mansion, and few people in the mansion mentioned him. I only know that when he was young, he traveled around and was very distant from the Qi family, and I have never seen him."

"Do you know why his surname is Beigong?"

Gu Qinghan shook her head and said, "I haven't asked, either. Actually, I just asked, but no one told me."

When Qi Ning heard Gu Qinghan say this, she knew that she had very limited knowledge of Beigong Liancheng and was quite disappointed. Suddenly, she heard a voice from outside the door saying, "Three Lady, Marquis, someone from the palace came over and left a letter to the Marquis."

When Qi Ning came out, he saw General Manager Han standing far away from the door, and went over and asked, "People from the palace?"

General Manager Han presented a letter and said: "It was Eunuch Fan who sent it himself, saying it was a secret letter from the emperor to the marquis. After he left the letter, he did not stop and hurried back to the palace."

Qi Ning took the letter, opened it a few times and glanced at it. She looked a little surprised in her eyes, but she still put it away and whispered: "Master Han, go to a place!" He leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.Master Han immediately said yes and hurriedly retreated.

Early the next morning, Qi Ning had just gotten up, and another guest came to clean up. When he arrived at the front hall, he saw an official over 40 years old sitting in the hall drinking tea and waiting. When he saw Qi Ning coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him and saluted: "Hu Bowen, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, pay homage to the Marquis!"

Seeing that Hu Bowen was in his early forties, with a national face, and a dignified face, he smiled and said, "It turns out that he is Lord Hu. Come on, don't be polite, please sit down." After the guest and host sat down, Hu Bowen smiled and said, "Marty, the official came today. He was ordered by the Secretary Yuan to ask for instructions."

"Please ask?"

"The Marquis is an envoy who was on the mission to Dongqi this time. After discussion, the lower officials were lucky enough to follow the emperor to go with him." Hu Bowen smiled and said, "The lower officials can still help with the Marquis' side and do chores."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "It's so good." He thought that after the emperor issued an order to propose marriage to Dongqi, the court's efficiency was dissatisfied with the efficiency of doing things. He had arranged a deputy envoy, and Hu Bowen was the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Only under the Secretary of Old Yuan, this person was naturally clear about diplomatic etiquette. It would be great to have such a person helping him.

Hu Bowen stood up and took a list and presented it to him: "Mr. Marquis, this is a list of gifts that the Ministry of Rites rewarded. Please check it out first. This time, going to Dongqi to propose marriage is not a pity. Although Dongqi is a small country, we cannot lose etiquette. The gifts listed in this list are in line with the diplomatic etiquette system and can also demonstrate the temperament of our Great Chu. Marquis see if there are any places that need to be deleted or added."

Qi Ning took the list and scanned it. He found that the gifts listed on it were really rich. He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Hu, the Minister of Revenue, Dou Shangshu, is said to be poor every day. The gifts on this list are of great value. Can their Ministry of Revenue buy them?"

Hu Bowen smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, it is our business to go to Dongqi, but this preparation of gifts is the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. Making a list is an errand in our rituals. We don't have to consider whether the Ministry of Revenue can be prepared or whether it is in accordance with the etiquette system. Marquis knew that if the gifts prepared this time were too shabby, and were criticized by the people of Dongqi and lost the face of the court, then people would inevitably say that our Ministry of Revenue was not well-behaved, and the responsibility would fall on us."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "So we can report the gifts we should prepare. Whether we can prepare them is the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue."

"This is the reason." Hu Bowen said: "But you still have to ask the marquis to look at everything. If the marquis thinks it is inappropriate, the marquis will take it back and discuss it again."

Qi Ning closed the list and handed it back, saying, "Since it has been agreed upon, I have no objection, just send this list to the Ministry of Revenue."

Hu Bowen put away the list and said, "The emperor obeys the order."

"Sir Hu, how long do we need to prepare?" Qi Ning asked.

Hu Bowen said: "The Ministry of Rites has also chosen a few days. These days are beneficial to travel. The earliest one is three days later, and the slowest one is seventeen days later. However, the best day is eight days later, and eight days later is a good day. It is most suitable for travel. The old minister of Yuan said that we should go on May 18th eight days later. So when the officials go to the Ministry of Revenue to send this list today, they will also discuss with the Ministry of Revenue and ask them to prepare these gifts within eight days and not delay their travel days."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "You will arrange everything. If you need my cooperation, come to me."

Hu Bowen bowed and said, "There will not be much trouble for the officials. If the marquis thinks about what needs to be arranged, he can send someone to find the officials at any time."

Qi Ning was unwilling to deal with too many people from the Ministry of Revenue. Now that Hu Bowen is here to deal with these things, Qi Ning feels quite comfortable. Anyway, these fragmented things need to be managed by someone like Hu Bowen.

At dusk, Qi Ning sent someone to get off the carriage. As soon as the carriage was ready, someone came to report that someone outside the mansion asked for a visit. Qi Ning knew who was coming and invited someone to welcome him. Soon he saw Jiuxi Poison King swing Yi wearing a crown and hat coming to the hall. When Qi Ning saw Jiuxi Poison King dressed up, he smiled and said, "If you put on this dress, you really look like a gentry who is raising your age."

Swing Yi sat down, glanced at Qi Ning, and asked, "What the hell are you going to do? Why do you want me to change into this dress?"

Qi Ning sent General Manager Han last night to ask him to find Swing Yi, and even brought this set of clothes to make him change. Qi Ning was worried that Swing Yi was eccentric and might not change clothes as he said. When he saw this, he felt a little relieved and smiled: "The Poison King has been to the capital for a few days and has never been well received. Today I happened to have time to take the Poison King out to relax."

Swing Yi was stunned and then sneered: "Where are you going? I still need you to take it? Boy, what the hell are you doing?"

"The Poison King doesn't need to ask too much." Qi Ning stood up and said, "The carriage is ready, and the Poison King will go with me."

Swing Yi didn't know what Qi Ning sold in the gourd, so hesitated for a while, but followed Qi Ning out. The two of them did not ride horses and rode together on horseback. Swing Yi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you going to take me to the palace to meet your emperor?"

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Police King, let me tell you the truth. You are famous and want to enter the palace, but I am afraid that the palace will not allow you to go there."

Swing Yi snorted coldly and said, "I heard that there are many experts in the palace, and there are countless masters guarding the emperor. Why, he is also afraid of me?"

"The poison king uses poison skills and how many people in the world are not afraid?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "To be honest, even if I have poisoned the poison king, I am extremely impressed. In this world, no one can beat the poison king. If he really leads the poison king into the palace, the poison king will release the poison at will, will I be unlucky?"

Swing Yi laughed dryly, Qi Ning praised him for his poisoning skills, and he was very helpful in his heart.

"Politic King, let me tell you the truth. Do you always think that there are still people in the world who can compare with you when using poison?" Qi Ning asked with a smile: "There is no such thing as Xichuan when using poison in the world. Xichuan Poison King is your elder, so he should be the best in the world."

Swing Yi was very humble and said, "There are many strange people in the world. I can use the magic of poison to make sense. If you look at the world, you will not lose to anyone. But if you say that you are the best in the world, that's not the case."

"Oh?" Qi Ningqi said: "Is there any powerful master?"

Swing Yi said, "There are mountains outside the mountain, and there are people outside the mountain." After pondering slightly, he said, "Have you heard of the Ten Thousand Poison Caves in Southern Xinjiang?"

"Ten Thousand Poison Cave?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "This name is majestic."

Swing Yi said: "The ancient legend of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in the Southern Xinjiang is the first-class sect in the Southern Xinjiang. The owner of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave has been called the Gu King throughout the ages, and they are also powerful characters. For a long time, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in the Southern Xinjiang and the Five Poisons in the West have been called the two major poison sects in the world. When it comes to the use of poison, there is no one outside these two major sects. However, the Five Poison Cave has gradually declined and has long been nowhere to reach the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. However, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave has never only been active in southern Xinjiang, so there is little knowledge of them in the Central Plains."

"The Poison King has seen people from the Ten Thousand Poison Caves?" Qi Ning asked.

Swing Yi said: "I have had a deal with it, but I have no deep friendship. The people in Wanpo Cave are sneaky, unclear about good and evil, and have quirks in their temperament. Anyway, I don't want to contact them."

Qi Ning asked: "Dog King, when it comes to southern Xinjiang, I suddenly remembered that someone had told me before. It seems that one of the Yuandou Palace, which dominated the martial arts world, was trapped in southern Xinjiang. I wonder if the Poison King knows them?"
