Seeing this figure, Nan Xun really wanted to rush over and shout Daddy, but she was now a golden lion, and she couldn't move at all, she couldn't even say a word, let alone run over.

Even if you can say and move, a lion runs over and shouts at Nantian Daddy, it will make people scared half to death.

Nan Xun was helpless, so he could only look at his father silently, walked to the door, and said to Duan Siping: "In Xia Nantian, I have seen Master Duan. ”

Since Nantian does not have an official title, it is impossible for Duan Siping to call Nanda people, after thinking for a while, Duan Siping opened his mouth and said: "Nantian Brother Tai is really beautiful, no wonder there is no official title, His Majesty Mingzong can even let you be the person in charge of this matter." ”

"Lord Duan has won the award, and along the way, we have all heard about your deeds, as well as the supreme title of "the first person in Miao Jiang". ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Duan Siping hurriedly said, "This is the first person in Miaojiang, and he has to be the monarch of our Dayi Ning Kingdom, in addition, there will be no one else, no matter how hard he tries, he will be the second person in Miaojiang at most, Brother Nantian doesn't talk nonsense, let's go, let's go in and talk, it's not like that to always stand like this." ”

"Lord Duan, Lord Yu, please!" Nan Tian stretched out his hand and asked the two adults to go first.

Although he is the main person in charge of the tribute appointed by Mingzong, but in the end it is said that he is a common man, the two in front of him, one is the important minister of Miao Jiang Dayi Ningguo, one person is above 10,000 people, and the other is the Ministry of Rites in the court of Mingzong, the status of the two people is not comparable to that of a common people, so it is natural to let the two adults go first to show respect.

Duan Siping and Master Yu also knew about this reason, so they didn't shirk, the two glanced at each other, and walked into the door together, and Nan Tian then followed in.

After walking a few steps, he walked to the long table.

Duan Siping picked up the booklet on the table, handed it to Lord Yu and said, "On this, there is a detailed list of these tributes, Lord Yu, please take a look." ”

Lord Yu took it, didn't look at it, turned around and handed it to Nantian on the side, and said, "Brother Nantian, you have to come and see this thing, I don't understand it at all." ”

"Then I'd better be respectful and take a look at this thing for the saint."

"Look, it's your business."

Nan Tian stretched out his hand and took the booklet and said, "There are really a lot of things, let alone three hundred." ”

"According to the previous agreement, although it is not a lot, the number will not be wrong," Duan Siping said, "The first-class, second-class, and third-class ones are also recorded in detail." ”

"Well, I can see that." Nanda said, "I'm looking at things. ”

"Let's go together," Duan Siping said, leading Master Yu and Nan Tian to walk along the long table and look at them, "These things have been prepared for a few days, so you are finally here." ”

"Well," Nan Tian promised, in fact, a heart is on the treasure on the table at all, "this, the pearl string, is indeed very good, the grain is large, the luster is also good, and the texture is also a first-class good ......"

"Oh, this jade Ruyi is also very good, it is rare in the Central Plains......"

Nantian said it over and over again, while sighing, saying that Miaojiang is rich in products, Duan Siping was also very happy to hear it, after all, he was a native of Miaojiang, and he must be very happy if others praise his hometown so much.

This is all human nature, and anyone who hears others praise their hometown will feel happy in their hearts, almost as if they have drunk honey.

Especially if this person is still a very insightful person and has seen a lot of rare treasures, such a person can praise it, which means that it is really good.

Duan Siping smiled while accompanying Nan Tian to check the tribute.

This is two insurances, one is that Mingzong is not at ease, he is afraid that Dayi Ningguo will make some fake things and give them to him as tribute, and secondly, Dayi Ningguo also wants people to check it, so as not to really have anything fake, and when the time comes, where will it be sent to Mingzong, and then someone will see it, it will be a joke.

After a while, a few people walked up to the golden lion.

Nantian sighed, took a closer look, and said while looking: "I heard that you Miao Jiang has a very famous gold-casting master, called Ye or something, this thing should be from his hands." ”

When Duan Siping heard this, he said: "Hahaha, Brother Nantian is really as wise as a torch, this thing is indeed really made by Master Ye, and it took a lot of energy." ”

"Well, I looked at the method of casting gold, it should be what he did, I had seen such a gold object in other places before, but it was a golden disc, not a golden lion, I was very curious about the disc at that time, and I studied it for a long time, so I still have some understanding of his technique."

"Alas, it's just a pity," Duan Siping said, "Master Ye can't make such beautiful gold artifacts now." ”

"Why!?"

"When Master Ye was making this golden lion, he just made the golden lion and broke a finger, and now, he can only watch others do it, at most he will guide it on the side, even if he does it, he can't do it like before."

"Ah," Nan Tian exclaimed, "How can this be, this, Master Ye is too careless, how can such a thing happen." ”

Duan Siping said: "You have a saying in the Central Plains, you often walk by the river, there will always be times when your shoes will get wet, this is what you are talking about, Master Ye casts gold all the year round, and the tiger also has a nap, and finally accidentally injured himself." “

Nantian sighed: "It's a pity, such a good master, such a good craft, was so careless and ruined." In the future, I will never be able to see such a thing again, each of these gold objects made by Master Ye has become a masterpiece, especially this golden lion, which is perfect, I, can I pick it up and take a look? ”

Nan Tian sighed and turned his head to look at Duan Siping.

Duan Siping would not refuse such a small request, so he nodded and agreed.

Nan Tian slowly picked up the golden lion and carefully studied it in his hand, as if he was looking at a peerless good thing, in fact, he didn't know that this golden lion had only been made for a few days.

As for Nan Xun, she was already in tears at this time, from the moment her father Nan Tian appeared, she couldn't hold back her tears, until Nan Tian picked up the golden lion, and Nan Xun instantly burst into tears like rain, like a river that burst the embankment, gushing out and flowing down.

Held in her father's hands, Nam Kaoru seemed to have returned to her childhood, snuggling in her father's arms, gently rubbing her father's big hand on her head, the feeling was very familiar, very warm, very comfortable, and very reassuring,......

In short, all the beautiful words can't describe Nan Xun's mood in the dream at this time.

But after all, it was in a dream, and besides, Nan Tian was just doing an appreciation and appraisal, and then he put down the golden lion, and together with Duan Siping and Lord Yu, he continued to check the other tributes.

And Nan Xun was still recalling the feeling just now, it was difficult to calm down for a long time, and he didn't hear clearly, what did Nan Tian talk about later, until Nan Tian was gone, Nan Xun suddenly woke up, as if he was just crying, didn't look at his father twice, and didn't listen to the conversation of several people, I don't know if I talked about where my mother is now.

However, it shouldn't be said that after all, it's a matter of paying tribute, and it's impossible to talk about Kaoru's mother.

Nan Xun thought about it for a while, and he was not in a hurry, anyway, in a few days, the golden lion that Nan Xun turned into in his dream was going to be transported out and went to Luoyang to be dedicated to Mingzong.

Along the way, you can always see the figure of your mother, Nan Xun thought, the picture turned, and saw that it was still in this courtyard, some people were busy packing boxes, and constantly moving tributes into the boxes.

Duan Siping, General Lang, Lord Yu, and his father Nantian were all watching from the sidelines, not knowing what they were talking about.

Because the courtyard was too busy, and the voices were chaotic, it was impossible for Nan Kaoru to hear the conversation of several people.

After a while, a soldier came over, picked up the golden lion, and carefully placed it in the box.

Kaoru's world was once again plunged into darkness, and only the voices of the soldiers in charge of carrying it could be faintly heard from outside the box, but it was not very clear.

"Be careful with your ......"

"Hurry up, you're about to go......"

"Tie up, tie up, tie tight......"

The chaotic sound continued for more than an hour, and then gradually quieted down, and Kaoru was able to hear the sound coming from outside the box.

"Lord Duan, thank you for your care these days, I am very grateful, if Lord Duan has the opportunity to go to Luoyang, please also come to the house to talk about it, and I can also talk about the friendship of the landlord."

Listening to the voice, Nan Xun knew that this was Lord Yu of the Ministry of Rites.

Then her father Nantian's voice also sounded: "If that's the case, that adult must also go to my shop, my name is still slightly famous in Luoyang City, and you are not afraid of finding the way." ”

"Hahaha," as soon as Nantian finished speaking, he heard Duan Siping's hearty whisper, "If I am really lucky enough to go to Luoyang, then I will definitely go to the house of the two of you and disturb you, but when the time comes, don't dislike me and not leave!" ”

"Where, where." Lord Yu said, "As long as Lord Duan is willing, it will not be a problem to live in our Luoyang for as long as possible." ”

"I think so, I'm afraid that I won't live long, and our king will quickly send someone to tie me back, saying that I only know how to be happy outside all day long, and I have not fulfilled the duties of a courtier, then, I have suffered......"

After flattering words and talking for a while, Nan Tian said: "It's not too early, it's time for us to set off, Lord Duan, then we will leave, we must go to our Central Plains when we have time......"

"Certainly, I really can't go in person this time, so I have to ask General Lang to escort you......"

"It's okay, my lord is busy with state affairs, tired and busy, this escort matter, naturally you don't need to ask in person, Lord Duan, Brother Nan Tian and I, with the escort of General Lang, it is enough, we will be able to reach it safely, Lord Duan, please go back, I will leave later."

With the final words of farewell, Nan Kaoru heard a few horse chirps, and then Nan Kaoru guessed that the convoy should start moving, but Nan Kaoru was packed in a box, oh, it was the golden lion that Nan Kaoru turned into was packed in a box, so he didn't see the situation outside, and could only analyze what was happening outside through the sound coming from Guò.

It's just that the voice has been very calm and steady, and there seems to be no accidents.

But Nan Xun knew that there would always be something, so his heart was hanging all the time, and he didn't dare to rest assured, and cautiously listened carefully to the various voices coming from outside.

The carriage stopped, set off, stopped, and set off again, I don't know how many days have passed, anyway, Nan Xun has been numb, although there is no sound coming from the ground, it is also a normal conversation, for example, when it is time to eat, shout for everyone to stop eating, or rest, or a few soldiers chatting about their parents.

Kaoru didn't hear a trace of her father's voice, let alone see her mother.

In a word, so far, everything has gone smoothly, there is nothing abnormal, the only thing that makes Nan Xun a little uneasy is that there has been no news of his mother.

This made her feel very sorry in her heart, and she really wanted to see her mother a few more times, no, even a glance, so as to relieve her pain of missing her relatives.

But to her disappointment, after many more days, she still didn't hear her mother's voice, not a word.

If you ask, Nan Xun is obviously locked in a box, it is pitch black, how do you know that it has been a long time, in fact, it is very simple, there is a business, what is eating, you will shout.

Besides, even if you don't hear the shout, the carriage stops and goes, and it can probably be calculated, after all, this is an escort tribute, and you need to rush back to Luoyang City as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is generally not a meal, sleep, or any accident, and the convoy will not stop.

Only by rushing back to Luoyang City as soon as possible will these people feel at ease, otherwise escorting these many treasures, although it is said to be a tribute, no one dares to make up their minds, but it always makes people feel scared.

In case a few desperate stunned youths really pop up, although they may not be able to rob these tributes, but if they accidentally get a few boxes in the fight, they will inevitably fall into the charge of escorting unfavorable ones when they arrive in Luoyang City.

When the time comes, he will travel thousands of miles, not only will he have no credit at all, but he may also have to be punished.

If they encounter some strong hands and rob these treasures, then their heads will simply be cut off by themselves and presented to Mingzong as tribute.

Therefore, whether it is Lord Yu, General Lang, Nantian, or soldiers, guards, and the group are all thinking about escorting them to Luoyang City as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, and then there will be extraneous branches, which will be a little bad.

In such a situation, from top to bottom, it is all one heart, even if you rush without rest, no one complains, and you will not deliberately slow down the trip.

Therefore, Nan Xun can count the number of times the carriage stops and stops, and how many days he has traveled.

However, she also roughly calculated, and it was not a bad day.

About a month later, Kaoru suddenly heard a jumble of footsteps, as if something was wrong. (To be continued.) )
