Even if compared with Jiangnan, the market place of Beidu Protectorate is not much inferior, it is extremely prosperous, and many of the sights are things that Gu Ning has never seen before.

In particular, many people from Yan Kingdom can be seen in the venue, all of them have high noses and deep eyes, fair skin, tall stature, and many of them are very good-looking.

Gu Ning's eyes lingered on many men, until the man next to him coughed a few times, she realized something was wrong, a smile was forced on her face, and she naturally reached out to wrap his arms around him.

"My lord, I want to buy that honor!" Gu Ning said coquettishly.

Those around him who heard the voice subconsciously cast their gazes, seeing that it was a beautiful woman like a flower and jade, and there was a handsome and romantic young man beside him, they all understood.

It turned out that he was the son of a rich family who came out with a beauty, but he just wanted to see the face of this family. Even the son of a rich family would inevitably bleed heavily.

The decoration of the shop is particularly luxurious, but the most eye-catching is the pair of heads placed in the middle, the whole head is made of emerald, the texture of the emerald is excellent, but the most amazing thing is the ingenious workmanship Carving skills.

Everyone sighed with emotion, their eyes filled with astonishment.

But those regular customers who had been shopping for a long time shook their heads when they saw this shop, and walked straight past, as if they couldn't see the jewelry at all.

Gu Ning noticed the strangeness in the surroundings, and tugged on Xie Yan's sleeve who was walking forward: "Are you really going to be taken advantage of by this?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan kept walking, still leading Gu Ning forward.

"It's not just being taken advantage of." Xie Yan turned around suddenly, looked at Gu Ning and said solemnly, "As long as it is what you want, I will get it for you."

"I'm just diverting their attention!" Gu Ning rolled his eyes angrily, "No matter how good the face is, it can't compare to the gem head face my grandmother gave me!"

Before Xie Yan could speak, Gu Ning saw a familiar face on the portrait from the corner of his eye, and immediately changed his tone: "I want that face! Go and buy it for me!"

The change in her attitude made Xie Yan realize something.

At this time, the attitudes of the people nearby became respectful, and many people's expressions were a little flattering.

"It's Fang Chenghai?" Xie Yan guessed the identity of the person without hesitation.

The only thing that can make Gu Ning change like this is their goal this time, Fang Chenghai.

Seeing Gu Ning nodded gently, Xie Yan's eyes changed, and a sinister and coquettish smile suddenly appeared in his deep phoenix eyes.

He took out the folding fan in his hand and raised Gu Ning's chin: "I'll just buy it for you!"

After that, he held Gu Ning's hand, and the two strode into the shop.

The clerk in the shop had good eyes. He glanced at the two of them and knew that they were big customers, with a smile on his face: "What do you two guests want to buy? Our jewelry is all relics from the previous dynasty." ! There are many skills that today's craftsmen cannot do!"

"A relic from the previous dynasty?"

Xie Yan sneered, and looked at the shop with disdainful eyes for a long time, until he saw the head placed in the middle, there was some interest in his eyes.

"How much money is this? I want it."

However, the guy who spoke refused Xie Yan with a smile: "My lord, the things in our shop are not bought with silver, if you want...you have to exchange them with things!"

Xie Yan looked like a slutty boy, and the buddy explained everything, but he never thought that he would be able to buy it.

But Gu Ning, the "concubine", acted coquettishly just right: "My lord, you said that, you will buy everything I want! This is what I want!"

She tugged on Xie Yan's sleeve, shouting.

Xie Yan retracted the leg that was about to move away. He took Gu Ning's shoulders and said to the clerk, "Tell me, what do you want to change?"

The clerk's eyes changed, and he smiled meaningfully: "Naturally, it's something in our shop. Look at what's most lacking in the shop. What we need in this shop. If you can get it, the head is yours." .”

"What's missing?" Xie Yan frowned.

Behind him, Fang Chenghai finally couldn't hold back any longer, laughed boldly a few times, walked in with his foot up.

"What's missing in the market are things like tea and porcelain, which are the most popular in the Yan Kingdom and the Huns."

Fang Chenghai brought a lot of followers behind him, everyone could tell that he was an extraordinary person, but Xie Yan waved the folding fan in his hand, even though it was freezing cold, he didn't seem to notice it.

"Tea leaves?" Xie Yan clapped his hands suddenly, "I have a lot of tea leaves here!"

"How much tea leaves do I need to exchange for this face?" Xie Yan frowned, "My tea is all the best Lushan Yunwu, ten boxes for one pair of face? Twenty boxes?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the guy's eyes became surprised.

"Twenty boxes are enough!" The man laughed. "Tea is precious, not to mention top-grade tea like Lushan Yunwu! If you want this noodles, you only need to exchange twenty boxes of Lushan Yunwu!"

Tea is very precious in the north. For the Xiongnu and Yan people, tea is easy to carry, and it can save them from many diseases. One or two tea leaves can be sold at a high price, let alone twenty boxes!

Xie Yan nodded in disbelief, as if twenty boxes of tea were just a small business to him.

Yue Rong brought people to move twenty boxes of tea into the shop, and then brought the precious hair back to the inn.

After going back and forth like this, everyone knew that Xie Yan had a lot of tea leaves in his hands, and on the way back to the inn, there were more than a dozen waves of people who came up to chat and wanted to exchange some tea leaves from Xie Yan's hands.

However, Fang Chenghai, who was the first to speak out, did not take the initiative to find Xie Yan.

"It seems that this General Fang is indeed a powerful person." Sitting in the inn, Gu Ning carefully hammered his calf, and said in a muffled voice, "We are so generous, but he hasn't moved yet, just watching? What is he thinking? Isn't he worried that you have changed all the tea leaves?"

Xie Yan's eyes were dark: "This person is indeed difficult to deal with."

"But if you take the initiative to send it to your door, he will not trust you." Gu Ning said quietly, "But we can't stay in Beiduhu Mansion for too long, we still have to hurry up."

"When the news from the capital comes, he will always take action." Xie Yan patted Gu Ning's hand lightly, and gently embraced Gu Ning in his arms, "Before he came to the door , I'll take you to meet someone."

Hearing this, Gu Ning's eyelids twitched, and he had an ominous premonition: "Who?"

……

Looking at the two huge stone lions in front of him, and the two big words "Cai Mansion" on the plaque above his head, Gu Ning's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he subconsciously flinched.

Xie Yan even brought her to see General Cai!Is it for their plans?

Many thoughts appeared in Gu Ning's mind, she rolled her eyes, trying to see some clues from Xie Yan's face.

Unexpectedly, before Gu Ning could say what he wanted in his heart, Xie Yan held her hand. Although the strength was not strong, it was enough to make Gu Ning unable to break free: "General Cai is kind to me, I want to show you meet him."

"He is also my relative."

Xie Yan's last words made Gu Ning's heart soften for a moment.

She opened her lips, but she didn't say any words of rejection.

In this world, there are no people who can truly be called Xie Yan's relatives. A vicious uncle like the emperor is not worthy of being Xie Yan's relatives.

Gu Ning hesitated for a while, then followed Xie Yan to walk in.

Just like the rumors, General Cai likes luxury. Even the paving stones are made of jade, and there are countless rare flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere. The flowers and plants in the yard come, which shows the hard work and money spent on it.

Gu Ning sighed with emotion every time he took a step.

"Wouldn't General Cai do this to cause dissatisfaction in the court?" Gu Ning whispered, "Why haven't I heard that he was impeached by the imperial censor?"

"You girl, are you still hoping that I will be impeached by the censor?"

Suddenly, there was a hearty laugh from the corridor, and a burly man with a full beard came out. Unlike the Chu people, there was a ray of blue light in his eyes.

Those who have such characteristics are the blood of foreign races in the Western Regions, and such characteristics are regarded as ominous omens in both Chu and Yan.

General Cai smiled, touched his eyes and said, "It's just a little different, why? Are you scared?"

Gu Ning hurriedly waved his hands, trying to put on a pure and innocent look: "It's just a little curious."

However, General Cai's eyes seemed to be able to see through Gu Ning's disguise, he hummed and laughed a few times and said, "Okay, I have heard a lot of rumors about you from Xie Yan, you little fox, don't be in my old fox Putting on a show in front of you."

When Gu Ning heard this, he glared fiercely at Xie Yan.

Before Xie Yan could answer, General Cai yelled, "Okay! Are you here to see me, or are you here to flirt?"

His words made Gu Ning's ears turn red in an instant, and she was several steps away from Xie Yan immediately.

And General Cai snorted a few times, raised his foot and walked in the front, and Xie Yan led Gu Ning to follow behind.

"A lot of things have been added to your mansion, all of which were snatched from Yan people?"

"Of course I bought it, but it cost less money."

General Cai waved his hands impatiently, but even though his face was full of impatience, he still answered every question Xie Yan asked one by one.

"Nowadays, the situation in the court is changing, the general still needs to restrain himself." Xie Yan persuaded, "Many eyes are staring at you, if someone catches something wrong..."

Hearing this, General Cai snorted coldly, and laughed sarcastically: "If I am diligent and frugal, like those sour civil servants in the court, the emperor should be suspicious of me."

"It's better to be like this now, which can satisfy my own nature and let the emperor take off his guard. It doesn't matter what the civil servants think, what matters is what the emperor thinks. If he feels at ease, then I am truly safe. "
