Hearing this, Gu Ning's expression finally fluctuated.

She rolled her eyes, quickly recalling the scene before she left.

"You mean the battle field of the Northern Protectorate's Mansion?" Gu Ning blinked his peachy eyes, ignored the two Yue Ming brothers, and ran past them to Xie Yan who was practicing sword.

Xie Yan had no choice but to put down the sword in his hand, for fear of hurting her: "It's just for the sake of discussion."

"In recent years, more and more things have been sent to the market, but the money handed in to the market has become less and less. The emperor became suspicious of this, so he wanted to hand over the investigation of the market to General Pei. Hand over the matter to the minister."

Xie Yan's words made Gu Ning suspicious.

She pinched her chin and looked at Xie Yan thoughtfully: "I've been here for so many years, it's fine, why did the emperor bring up the question this year?"

As he said that, Gu Ning opened a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and fixedly looked at Xie Yan, his eyes were quite meaningful.

Xie Yan just pretended not to see her eyes, coughed lightly and walked out: "Tomorrow, the minister is going to Beidu Hufu. In order to ensure the safety of the county magistrate, I ask the county magistrate to stay in Yuezhou."

"No!" Gu Ning refused Xie Yan's proposal without thinking about it.

She tugged at Xie Yan's sleeve, and refused to let Xie Yan leave, muttering in her mouth: "I want to go to Beiduhu Mansion with you!"

Without waiting for Xie Yan to reply, she said again: "If Yan Yu is not dead, he will definitely come to me to settle accounts and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Yuezhou is much more dangerous than Beidu Hufu!"

Gu Ning's words successfully swayed Xie Yan.

Xie Yan lowered his eyes, looked and looked at the hand she was holding tightly, and simply held this soft hand in his palm.

Yue Ming just pretended he didn't see this scene, and when Yue Rong probed his head, he patted Yue Rong on the head, took him away, and cursed: "Master has business, what are you doing?"

"I..." Yue Rong covered his painful head with a dazed expression, "What the county lord said just now is not serious? She clearly wants to pester the master! How can such an affair between a child and a daughter become the master... ...Mmm!"

Yue Rong couldn't say the rest, Yue Ming covered his mouth and dragged him to the backyard.

On the training ground, there were only Gu Ning and Xie Yan, and the soldiers patrolling around had already been dismissed by Xie Yan.

The moonlight was just right tonight, covering the two of them with a layer of soft white light.

Xie Yan played with this soft and boneless hand, rubbed it repeatedly, and thought of something, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice suddenly became hoarse: "If you want to go to Beiduhufu, you can't use the county lord's identity to go."

Gu Ning was stunned when she heard the words, but she heard Xie Yan whisper a word in her ear.

The next moment, her eyes lit up.

"Is what you said true?"

"This is exactly the minister's plan."

Xie Yan nodded, making the joy in Gu Ning's eyes more obvious.

She shook Xie Yan's hand excitedly: "Your method is great! In this way, we can investigate the real situation of the dispute!"

"I just want to wrong the county magistrate to pretend to be a maid..."

"No!" Gu Ning vetoed the Xie Yan arrangement, "I thought of an excellent solution!"

Xie Yan's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and she felt a little uneasy, only to hear Gu Ning continue to say: "You and I pretend to be husband and wife, pretending to sell tea in the market, how about that? Those bandits have hidden a lot of good tea."

The Xiongnu were invincible on the grasslands, but they had many problems. Apart from salt, tea was the most popular commodity on the grasslands. Many traveling merchants would go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy tea, and then send it to the market for sale.

This is exactly Xie Yan's arrangement, but pretending to be husband and wife...

Thinking of this, the tips of his ears were stained with a thin layer of red.

However, Gu Ning's soft body was still clinging to his arm, and his tone was soft, but he did not allow him to refuse: "I don't look like a little maid no matter how you look at it, only pretending to be a couple with you is the real thing. Most reasonable."

Xie Yan has not yet agreed, but Gu Ning has already had many thoughts in his head. Since they are pretending to be husband and wife, they must be in the same room. She just needs to give Xie Yan the ecstasy at the right time. You will be able to step into the ranks of the big fortune in one fell swoop!

What a godsend!

The smile on Gu Ning's face could hardly be hidden. When she was secretly happy in her heart, she suddenly met Xie Yan's suspicious eyes. She immediately restrained her expression. Even so, she still made Xie Yan feel a lot of doubts.

"Pretend to be a husband and wife to honor the county lord..."

"What kind of reputation!" Gu Ningbo raised his bright peach eyes, and said displeasedly, "I have done everything with you. According to what you said, I don't have any reputation..."

"It's the minister's slip of the tongue." Xie Yan's handsome and fair face showed a blush, he was quite annoyed, and looked at Gu Ning worriedly, fearing that his words just now would make Gu Ning sad.

Fortunately, Gu Ning just stared at a pair of beautiful eyes, forcing him to agree to his request: "I will pretend to be husband and wife with you! If you don't agree! I will..."

"Okay." Xie Yan reluctantly responded, "What the county magistrate says, the minister will follow."

Hearing this, Gu Ning nodded in satisfaction: "We have agreed, you must not leave me alone in the discussion!"

"I have never lied to the county magistrate." Xie Yan whispered, "But before that, there is one more person to deal with."

Gu Ning blinked, and just when he was thinking about who that person was, he heard Yue Ming whispered in the corner: "Jiang Qian, the official minister, came to Yuezhou, probably because of the group of people who were hidden by the bandits. Treasure."

In an instant, Gu Ning cleared his mind: "Could it be that those treasures still belong to Chu Yunyi?"

Seeing Xie Yan's eyes that instantly turned cold, Gu Ning understood, she pinched her chin lightly, and smiled happily: "So, we stole Chu Yunyi's things?"

That scumbag had long been forgotten by her, but she snatched his stuff. The feeling of this can only be described in one word - cool!

"Jiang Qian came here for those treasures?" Gu Ning said with a sly smile, "Could it be that he wants to steal it?"

"Qianchang also has some relationship with Jiang's family." Xie Yan revealed, "This batch of treasures is one of his goals, and the profit that Quchang made this year is also his goal."

Gu Ning suddenly realized: "The Jiang family's hands are stretched long enough! But it's not surprising, if it wasn't for the Jiang family's protection, how could the dispute have dragged on until now?"

Chu, Yan, and Xiongnu all have special products, but it is impossible for the three countries to watch their opponents become stronger, so there is almost no foreign trade. In order to obtain huge benefits in the market, it can also ensure that the items flowing through the market are definitely not contraband such as salt and iron.

Merchants in the three countries are all trading in the trading market, and they only need to pay [-]% of the turnover with the trading market as tariffs.

During the reign of the late emperor, the profits of the trading house accounted for half of the national treasury every year, but in recent years, the profit of the trading house has gradually decreased, only half of what it used to be.

Gu Ning thought about it carefully, and his eyes changed: "Since we have ruined one of Chu Yunyi's good deeds, we simply don't do the other thing and ruin his second good deed!"

"The county lord still remembers him in his heart."

Xie Yan spoke suddenly, what he said made Gu Ning's back feel cold.

She shook her head quickly: "How is it possible? I just hate this man so much, I wish to see him suffer! Just say you can do it or not!"

Xie Yan's arm was firmly held by Gu Ning, but to Xie Yan, the strength was negligible, but he did not want to break free, suppressed the joy in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "The county lord ordered, the minister They will do their best.”

The two discussed for a while, and walked out of the training ground together.

Just halfway through, Gu Ning was stopped by Chu Shiling.

The way Chu Shiling looked at Gu Ning at this time was like looking at a heartbroken man who had always given up, which made Gu Ning's back go numb.

"you……"

"Gu Ning! You lied to me!" Chu Shiling interrupted her viciously, grabbed her hand and led her into the garden, accusing her in a rambunctious manner, "You told Xie Xie behind my back. What did Yan go do? Is it something shameful?"

Chu Shiling looked Gu Ning up and down, as if he suddenly thought of something, he took a breath, covered his mouth and said, "No way! Could it be that you are just saying to Xie Yan in broad daylight..."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Gu Ning covered her mouth and said angrily, "This is a secret mission my grandmother gave me, how can I take you with me? It's about the Huns, it's nothing to do with anyone Don't tell me anything! Otherwise, there will only be one end!"

As Gu Ning spoke, he gestured at Chu Shiling's neck.

Chu Shiling's body froze, and she who had been arrogant and had the upper hand had a lot of qi deficiency, but she still said firmly: "Then you should tell me in advance, so as not to worry me! I found you disappeared at the time, but I was worried." Broken! People have been looking for it in the cave for a long time!"

"Really?" Gu Ning smiled at her coldly, "But how did I hear that someone came back with a box full of jewels from the batch after being furious?"

Chu Shiling's true face was exposed, and she didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she raised her head and said, "Isn't that your apology for me?"

Gu Ning rolled his eyes angrily, waved his hands and said, "You're right! You're right! I still have business to do, don't follow me!"

"Jiang Qian is in the front hall." Chu Shiling pouted and said, "Even if it's a business, as the owner of the princess mansion, I still want to meet Jiang Qian with you."

Gu Ning paused, and carefully looked at Chu Shiling a few times: "Why do I feel that you have changed a lot."

Chu Shiling raised his chin, crossed his waist and said, "That's natural! I also know that Jiang Qian came here for the treasures of the robbers! You have to be careful! He is not easy to deal with! I was in the He has suffered a lot!"
