Chapter 173? Country No. 4
Zhou Nan said strangely: "The craftsmen have all been transferred, and there are two people led by Brother Gao and Brother Yang to guard there, what is the use of me staying there?" Do you want me to dig a mountain and dig a rock? β
Yu Liyan asked softly, "How many days does Zhou Lang have to go back to Pingzhou?" β
"No return!" Zhou Nan said lightly, "Pingzhou only waits for spring ploughing, and then the construction can begin, and it will be completed before July. The craftsmen were also sent, and if there was nothing to do, I went back to Beijing first. β
"So, the pony isn't leaving?" Yinping asked happily.
"I'm not leaving." Zhou Nan said again.
"The colt is tired all the way, so I'm going to call someone to prepare food for the pony and the princess." Yinping obediently ran out.
"Zhou Lang is non-stop for the sake of the community, and people do not leave the saddle. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, Zhou Lang should also take a good rest. Yu Liyan heard Zhou Nan say that he would not go out anymore, and he was also happy for Zhou Nan in his heart.
"I haven't met the princess for a long time, and the flowers are blooming, and it's time to return to accompany the princess." Zhou Nan pulled over a round stool, sat opposite Yu Liyan, looked at Yu Liyan and said.
"Zhou Lang can think about coming back, the concubine is already content!" Yu Liyan covered her mouth and smiled, "Mo flowers bloom and butterflies fly, and the country is still the same as in the past. Unexpectedly, in addition to shouting and shouting and killing, Zhou Lang would also recite a few verses of Dongpo monks. Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang, the concubine really wants to know how many talents you still have in your heart that have not been displayed. β
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Yanyan." Zhou Nan talked about Yu Liyan's nickname in his words, and said with a smile: "I'm just a hunter in the mountains, I know a few words, and I can use a few knives and forks." Occasionally, he just wanted to get other people's poems and borrow them, which was not as good as those scribes in the Southern Dynasty. β
"I don't know if Zhou Lang Wencai is a concubine, but Zhou Lang's romantic debt concubine body has been paid back a few days ago. Twelve good horses, as well as a treasure car, have been sent to Bianjing. At this time, there were only Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan, and Yu Liyan couldn't help but say with a slight sour expression on his face.
"Isn't that a loss?!" Zhou Nan said in surprise, "I used her horse and cart, and I paid her back, so why double her back?" I've got a flying car in her hands! β
Zhou Nan's expression and words made Yu Liyan's jealousy go away, and he asked, "How can I give the flying car to the emperor of the Southern Dynasty?" β
Although Yu Liyan has Han Cunyi as his eyes and ears in Bianjing City and knows about Zhou Nan's affairs in Bianjing, there are some things that outsiders can't see, hear, or know at all unless they are in his realm or those who have experienced it.
It happened that Yinping came in with a few palace people with food, placed it on the low couch on the other side of the warm pavilion, and invited Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan to eat, Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan went over to sit down, and Yinping personally served the two of them to eat on the side.
Zhou Nan simply started from the moment he entered Bianjing City, he was met by Mao De at the state bridge, and talked about how he met with the Taoist Lin Lingsu in the Zichen Palace, Lin Lingsu said with mystery, and he took Xiao Jiu'er to the Shangqing Palace to explore Lin Lingsu's bottom, but was deceived by Lin Lingsu into the palace back garden, threw himself off, and was chased and killed by the guards, and unfortunately hid in the Huamian Pavilion, but he met Mao De who had just bathed and changed clothes, and the four doors of the palace were closed, and he had to send a letter to Yang Maode, and let Xiao Jiu send a flying car, ready to leave by flying car, In the end, it was Maude who sent himself out of the secret passage, but Xiao Jiu'er had already given the flying car to Maude's maid, so the flying car fell into Maude's hands.
Yu Liyan and Yinping just know a rough idea from Han Cunyi's letter, where can Zhou Nan tell it in person at this moment? The two of them were apprehensive for a while, and couldn't help laughing for a while, only then did they know that Zhou Nan's trip to Bianjing was no less dangerous than being in the Pingzhou army.
"That old way is really hateful, and it causes people to be persecuted behind the horses." Yinping was very dissatisfied with Lin Lingsu, who was a monk.
"Don't talk nonsense. That Taoist chief can be used as a national teacher for the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and he must have a way. Even if you lead Zhou Nan to the back garden of the palace, there must be a deep meaning, but I am an ordinary man and a layman, and I can't understand it. Yu Liyan believes in Buddhism, but he also respects Taoist practitioners.
Zhou Nan nodded, Lin Lingsu recorded in history is the grandmaster of the Shenxiao faction, not a god stick, he and Lin Lingsu have never known each other, Lin Lingsu is a national teacher, and he will never be bored until he does some pranks to deceive himself in the middle of the night. Zhou Nan said: "The chief of the forest returned to the mountains and forests on the second day, and all the gold, silver and jade silk given over the years were left in the Shangqing Palace, and when he left, he also went to Dutingyi to see me, saying that I stole a painting in the palace, and said that the characters in the painting shaft wanted me to send troops to protect it two years later. β
"Is there such a strange thing?" The more Yu Liyan listened, the more mysterious he felt.
"There's something even weirder. Do you know what's in that painting? Zhou Nan asked deliberately.
"The left and right are just Taoist priests close and friendlyβis it the emperor of the Southern Dynasty?" Yu Liyan is a girl after all, so she told Mao De first, thinking that Lin Lingsu wanted Zhou Nan to protect Emperor Mao De two years later.
"Hey...... You underestimate Lin Laodao too much. The painting scroll is painted in Bianjing. The people and things inside are Bianjing City and the people inside. Zhou Nan sighed and said.
"Bianjing and my Yanjing belong to two countries, even if there is a difficulty, where will I be allowed to save Yanjing? What a strange thing! "Now even Yu Liyan feels incredible.
"By the way, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty said that he would send people to Yanjing City for the reward of 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 horses of silk, have you received them these days?" Zhou Nan talked about the matter of Bianjing City, and thought of some things he left in the Duting Station. He didn't really care about the silver silk and the like, what he felt sorry for was the two telescopes left for him, and the two pairs of crystal jewelry that the craftsman had made for himself.
"I have already received it, and on the third day after you went to Pingzhou, the people of the Southern Dynasty came in a carriage. Outside the silver silk, there is another big box, tightly sealed, I don't know what is inside, the concubine's body is only Zhou Nan's thing, so it has not been opened. Yu Liyan said to Zhou Nan.
"Go and bring that big box." Zhou Nan thought that the jewelry and binoculars, as well as the "Qingming Riverside Picture", should be packed in the box, so he asked Yinping to send someone to carry the box over.
After a while, the box was lifted and opened, and there were four small boxes of different lengths inside, as well as a scroll painting. Zhou Nan opened the four small boxes, and there were indeed two telescopes and two crystal jewelry. It's just that the telescope is not the biggest one I left for myself. There is also a note next to it, on which is a small line of upright and beautiful letters, which reads: That large clairvoyant mirror I left for my own use, which is your salary for using my materials to make jewelry for yourself.
Zhou Nan smiled helplessly, and took out two pairs of sparkling headdresses from the other two small boxes, both of which were two identical gold wire crystal headdresses, two fine gold wires of the same length would be polished into two strings of crystals of the same size, and then the two strings were lined with peony flowers made of pure gold, and gold leaves made of fine gold threads were hung below. It's just that the only difference between the two headdresses is the color of the crystal, one is a pink crystal and the other is a purple crystal.
"These two, but I exchanged them for a treasure, one for you and Yun'er." Zhou Nan thought of the big telescope and said with some distress.
