Chapter 109: Cutting off the salt road and threatening each other
Nangong Keqing raised her head suddenly, and a warm current slowly flowed through her heart.
"Why don't you have a good rest? This king doesn't want you to work too hard. ”
Nangong Keqing mischievously raised her hand sticky with flour in front of him, leaned forward, tilted her head, and looked cute, "If you're afraid that I'll work hard, you can eat more in a while, and you can't have any leftovers." ”
In the past few days, he has been worried about state affairs and political affairs, and he has no appetite, and his stomach will be hungry if he goes on like this, he doesn't care, she still cares.
"Good!" Qi Qingxuan rubbed her little face helplessly.
She pushed Qi Qingxuan out, he didn't like him to go into the kitchen, he was a high-ranking prince, a person who did big things, how could he come into the kitchen!
As soon as Qi Qingxuan put down the fold in his hand, he smelled the aroma of food.
Nangong Keqing walked up to Qi Qingxuan and dragged his arm to the dining table.
Pointing to the delicacies on the table, Xiaozui kept introducing: "Come and try it, this is dumplings, it is my specialty dish, there are three fresh fillings, pork cabbage and mushroom filling, and beef and pepper filling, this is boiled, this is steamed, this is fried......"
Nangong Keqing picked up a dumpling while introducing, dipped it in the dipping sauce on the plate, and handed it to his mouth.
"Open your mouth, it's really delicious! One of my favorite cuisines. Nangong Keqing seemed to be inviting herself to sell herself and boast.
Qi Qingxuan was slightly surprised, her eyes were deep, when did this little girl take the initiative like this! He was a little flattered, and Nangong Keqing urged: "I'm very tired of holding it."
Looking at her disgusted appearance, Qi Qingxuan took a bite into his mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Nangong Keqing looked at him expectantly.
"It was delicious. The shape is like ingots, very special, the taste is tender and juicy, and the aftertaste is endless. This is the best delicacy this king has ever tasted. Qi Qingxuan really has never tasted such a delicacy, and he sincerely praises it.
"Then eat more, try the fried dumplings." Compared with praise and praise, he likes to eat, which is the best reward for her.
Qi Qingxuan tasted them all, then pointed to one of the vegetarian dishes and said, "What's the name of that dish?" ”
"Cold vinegar bitter chrysanthemum peanuts, greasy and fired, afraid that you will get on the fire, specially made." Nangong Keqing knew that he rarely ate meat, and his cooking was relatively light.
"Hmmm! Not bad! Very appetizing. "This little girl can do anything.
"You eat too." Qi Qingxuan took a dumpling to Nangong Keqing's mouth.
Nangong Keqing took a small bite shyly, and the rest was sent into her mouth by Qi Qingxuan.
Nangong Keqing's face was red and his heart was beating, how could he eat what he had left?
Qi Qingxuan was very popular, he ate a lot more than usual, the food was swept away, and Nangong Keqing was extremely happy.
Following
Nangong Keqing put on women's clothes and walked aimlessly on the street, she was suffocated in the past few days, and finally had a chance to come out to breathe.
In the jewelry store, Liu Song came over to report his work, he respected the master in his heart, and their family could have such a sense of belonging because of the great kindness of the county lord in front of him, so he worked harder.
"Very good, it has just opened and has such a good performance, and the style of jewelry is also novel, hard work."
Liu Songming felt five inside, "The young owner, the small one is not hard, and it is a small honor to be able to do things for the young owner." ”
Nangong Keqing put down the account book in his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Very good, work hard, strive to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and your father will be relieved." ”
Liu Song touched the back of his head embarrassedly and laughed.
"Shopkeeper, show me any new styles of gold hairpins." A clear voice came from the second floor.
Nangong Keqing subconsciously raised her eyes...... When she saw the delicate face on the second floor, she suddenly turned around and wanted to escape, which was too coincidental, she didn't want to expose it.
It's just that the more she wants to escape, the more people will be seen seriously, she raised her eyes and just glanced at someone, that person's expression froze, and in an instant, she called out by name, "Nangong girl? Are you a Nangong girl? ”
The man was so excited that he hurriedly came down from the second floor.
"Liu Song help me stop him, don't betray me." Nangong Keqing hurriedly dropped this sentence and disappeared at the door in an instant.
Liu Song was sensitive, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "This son, aren't you going to pick a golden hairpin?" The small one will help you choose, just a new style. ”
"No, don't stop me, she...... She's an old friend I know. The man pointed to the disappearing shadow at the door, getting farther and farther away, anxious and helpless.
"Shopkeeper, is that woman's name Nangong Keqing? Where does she live? Seeing that he couldn't catch up with the beauty, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Which do you say?" Liu Song asked confusedly.
"It's the woman who talked to you just now and ran away."
"She!" Liu Song chuckled, so he was foolish.
"You know?" Liu Song's eyes lit up, and he waited expectantly for his next step.
Liu Song shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I don't know." ”
"You ......"
Back at Manyaoxuan, Yuhe couldn't help asking, "Miss, are you afraid that Han Zhiyuan will do something, and he won't be able to eat you." ”
"You don't know, my identity can't be easily exposed when I come to Dashun Kingdom, and besides, now is not the time to recognize each other, I don't want so many people to know my identity, it will be very troublesome."
Besides, she herself is also a person who is very afraid of trouble.
Sihe Medical Center, Nangong Keqing reviewed several patients who had undergone surgery, and the recovery was very good, and he was about to go to the jewelry store to see Liu Song, when he heard a group of people gossiping......
"Have you heard that the Nanyue Kingdom is going to stop the salt merchant road to our country." Passerby A said.
"No wonder families are stockpiling goods." A fat sister-in-law grabbed a handful of vegetables and said.
"Then do our emperors and war kings have a way to deal with it? We can't let them be bullied like this, if it's land cession and compensation, aren't we subject to others? The white-bearded old man shook his head and sighed.
"Brother, you're right! My brother is in the army, and I heard that the king of war is going to send troops to attack the country of Nanyue. ”
"Good! The king of war is our savior, and he is too deceitful to beat him. ”
……
"No wonder, in the past few days, the prince has forgotten to sleep and eat to deal with the government, and he will not go back to the house for a few days, it turns out that Nanyue Kingdom has stirred up trouble again." Yuhe frowned, and his small mouth turned up.
"Miss, no wonder the prince has a bad appetite recently, he is just worried about this!"
Nangong Keqing did not answer her words, but fell into deep thought......
Originally, the salt lake was the junction of the two countries and was a sacred place for salt production, and there was such a clause in the peaceful coexistence port agreement, and the salt lake was a common resource of the two countries.
The Dashun Kingdom could only refine coarse salt, while the Nanyue Kingdom refined the so-called fine salt on the basis of the Dashun Kingdom, and thus the road of salt merchants of the two countries was opened.
The economic and cultural exchanges between several countries made the Nanyue Kingdom famous, and the Nanyue Kingdom became the only way for the salt merchants of the three major capitals and the two affiliated small countries.
Since then, the economy of Nanyue Kingdom has soared and it has become the largest country in terms of economy.
Ever since Emperor Qi fell ill and the King of War went to the Valley of Death to beg for medicine, Nanyue Kingdom began to have no fear and provoke trouble.
First stopped the passage of maritime transportation and trade, and then cut off the salt merchants with Dashun State, in fact, the main thing is that the development of fine salt is earned in the hands of Nanyue Kingdom, and the fine salt is used as a threat, and the land is ceded and called the minister's tribute.
And who is the war king Qi Qingxuan? Will a frightened war king be afraid of the threat of other countries?
Therefore, he will not sit idly by, since he does not even care about the agreement between the two countries, then what else does he have to fear?
This matter can not be delayed any longer, the salt merchant is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable, if the war is launched, the soldiers have no strength, and it is naturally easy to be defeated.
They are also thinking with such wishful thinking, how can the war king Qi Qingxuan let them succeed?
Nangong Keqing didn't expect them to be so despicable, Qi Qingxuan didn't go to the Valley of Death, and they didn't dare to be so arrogant, because they knew that the terrifying and daunting reputation of the God of War was not something they could afford to challenge.
But why is this only now coming out?
Nangong Keqing was worried about Qi Qingxuan, and hurriedly walked back with the girl.
"Lord Wang, when are we going to send troops?" General Leng Wenji couldn't wait, he had long been displeased with Nanyue Kingdom.
Qi Qingxuan stood with his hands in his hands and replied coldly: "Seven days later." ”
"The emperor of Nanyue Kingdom is not at ease, so he wants to drag us to let us be defeated without a fight, and make his spring and autumn dream. It's just that our salt road is cut off, how should Dashun be good? ”
General Leng was full of worries, and when he reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he was still unwilling to take off this armor, serve the country with iron bones, and serve the country.
Qi Qingxuan rubbed his temples, he was also worried about this matter, he had long thought that if he didn't find a way to make fine salt, he could only be restrained, restrained, and coerced by others, and it was not a good thing to be monopolized by them.
"Lord Wang, it's time to eat." At this time, the housekeeper came in to deliver the meal.
"Take it down! This king is not hungry. Qi Qingxuan waved his hand and motioned for him to take it down.
The housekeeper was followed by him since he was a child, and he was worried when he saw him so worried about state affairs.
Helpless, the housekeeper could only withdraw.
"Wait." Nangong Keqing rushed back from outside and took the lead.
Seeing her come back, Qi Qingxuan's eyes had a hint of brilliance, walked quickly to her side, and asked gently, "Why did you come back so early today, didn't you say it would be later?"
Nangong Keqing pretended to be angry and blamed him, "Is it that if I don't come back, you will avoid dinner again?" ”
"This king is not hungry." Qi Qingxuan's words seemed so indifferent.
Nangong Keqing knew his worries and knew that he was worried about the salt merchant, but she just couldn't see him like this, she would be sad.
Nangong Keqing smiled slyly and looked at him calmly, her voice was pleasant but a little threatening: "If I can solve your problem, can you eat well?"
Suddenly, Qi Qingxuan's cold face showed a look of surprise, but, thinking about it for a moment, this girl can always give him unexpected surprises, why not listen to what she has to say, "What method do you have?" ”
