The practice banquet held by Nangong Qingyan in Tumu was extremely powerful. In the words of the Tumu nobles, the scale of this private banquet is no less than that of the annual harvest festival of the god of agriculture. It can really be said that the street is ten miles long, and the banquet is moved directly from the gate of the royal palace in the capital city to the outside of the city. There are also fruit and vegetable lanterns used in the celebration, and the telephone poles on both sides are also hung full.

Well, that's right. Under the vigorous promotion of Thor, the Tumu Dynasty has also embarked on the road of electric civilization. The streets are dotted with white jade-colored telephone poles carved with reliefs of Thor.

Because for the Xia mission, this is already the last day in Tumu. Nangong Qingyan personally called the shots, and took this opportunity to be extravagant and consume all the last supplies of the embassy.

And at the banquet, Nangong Qingyan did not forget to take the opportunity to promote the fruit and vegetable health regimen with the Tumu nobles, and proposed a method of "vegetable juice bathing".

"Green vegetables seem ordinary, but the plant absorbs the essence of the day and the moon, as long as this part of the essence is released. For us noble women, it is an excellent nourishment. ”

The greens are juiced and used as a bath soup. Nangong Qingyan recounted a few sentences about the pharmacology of the Xia Guo physicians from time to time, which made the Tumu nobles stunned.

When the banquet was over, Nangong Qingyan ordered people to throw out all the leftovers on the table. He also discarded all the vegetable lanterns hanging on the streets and threw them away, not giving the people of Tumu a chance to recycle them again.

After doing all this, Nangong and Huangfu Shao and others hurriedly returned to the embassy and returned to Xia Guo at night.

A few carriages blessed with spells left quickly, and Nangong Qingyan watched the outline of the city in the distance getting smaller and smaller, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

"However, the fuse has already been laid. ”

When ordinary citizens were worried about food and clothing, she bewitched the nobles of Damu to get drunk and dream of death, and did everything in luxury. There is no need for Xia Guo to do it again, and with the accumulation of dissatisfaction and resentment, a civil strife will break out within Tumu this year.

Lowering the curtain, Nangong Qingyan sat down firmly and asked the left and right henchmen: "Is there any domestic news today?"

"There is no domestic news, just ......"

"Just what?"

The female officer on the left handed over a paperwork.

Nangong Qingyan took it casually and swept it with ten lines at a glance. At first, her expression was a little casual, but at the end, her expression gradually sank: "Some merchants have started to secretly exchange new coins?"

The female officer bowed her head, and Nuno said, "Yes, but not on our side." It was a native merchant in Rome. This morning, he secretly went to the Temple of Fortune to exchange new coins, but he was soon discovered by the embassy and directly detained. However, the embassy is still undecidable on how to deal with it. ”

Over the years, Nangong Qingyan has toured various countries. The consul of the embassy of the Xia Kingdom in Rome was single-handedly promoted by her, so she took the lead in reporting to the Nangong clan.

"Queen, do you think we should inform the country?"

"Notice, what's the notice?" Nangong Qingyan's fingers burst into flames and burned the letter.

Ten years have passed, and the queen is still as gorgeous as she was back then, she glanced at the women around her: "Have you received the news today? The people of our country are united in their hearts, and there is absolutely no traitor and betrayal of the country." Didn't this businessman fall this morning, fall unconscious, and be sent to the embassy for treatment?"

Hearing Nangong Qingyan's words, the female official suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, we haven't received any news." ”

So saying, she was going out to deliver a message to the Romans.

I only heard Nangong Qingyan behind him say: "Don't let him wake up, and don't let him die." He died, and it was His Highness who was wounded. When the soul is returned to Hades, it will also be perceived by His Highness about Rome. Let him stay asleep, and when the war begins, he will be thrown into the battlefield to be trampled by thousands of horses. At that time, His Highness would not have known where the injuries had come from, and would not have known about it. ”

Let Ji Le learn that someone has committed treason?

Although everyone knows in their hearts that this kind of thing must be banned repeatedly, there will always be people who act for a little petty profit. There are always people who think that their actions have nothing to do with the overall situation.

But for now...... If you can hide it, you can hide it. After all, this kind of person is always a minority, and it is not worth making the god of the country sad for this kind of thing.

Then, the female officer on the other side also sent a piece of information.

This information is about Meng Tian's army. Seeing the news, Nangong Qingyan, who was originally calm, immediately became confused: "Yang Luan and General Meng Tian are missing? They and their group left early, and they specially chose a safe route, how could they be missing? And General Meng Tian, he will also be missing? Isn't he already in the realm of the gods?"

"It is said that when the army marched to Cangwu Mountain, a red light suddenly rose in the mountain. Then the princess and the general lost contact. ”

......

After the rain in the mountains, a column of troops raising the banner of the Xia Kingdom slowly crossed the trail and marched to the east of the mountain.

"Your Highness, are you really not interested in those teenagers?" In the gorgeous and spacious carriage, two little maids were chattering, and they were talking to the girl in the middle wearing a blue orchid cloud dress with an excited face: "It can be seen that those teenagers in the company are clearly interested in you, Your Highness—"

"Enough!" Yang Luan looked displeased: "This kind of thing is not allowed to be talked about!"

"How old are you to study these things all day? I don't want this kind of gossip to flow out of my temple. You don't want to be innocent, I still want it!"

Although Yang Luan is only seven years old, he has been in contact with women such as Nuhao, Yu Yuan, and Nangong Qingyan all the year round, and his personality is quite strong and assertive. Otherwise, I didn't dare to take the two girls and secretly use the witchcraft I had just learned to infiltrate the envoys, and follow my mother to Tumu.

"You are the people around me, and your words and deeds represent my attitude in the eyes of outsiders! I don't want to be outside, because your gossip is looked down upon. ”

Yang Luan took a deep breath: "Mr. Huangfu and the others sent their disciples over, just because we returned to China together, and other things are not allowed to be spread randomly. I'm only seven years old, and I'm far from the time to talk about marriage. ”

Subsequently, Yang Luan continued to study the new Suri coins at hand.

The half-box of new coins she had in hand was not traded, but a group of fugitive slaves who tried to rob the army of food on the way.

After being beheaded by Meng Tian's people, it was captured from them.

Yang Luan privately thought that these new coins might have been stolen from the temple by the other party. After all, the famine in the area around Tumu had begun. Along the way, Yang Luan has seen many slaves beaten to death. It is not incomprehensible that there are slaves who can't stand it and flee abroad with new dollars.

"But the Suri dollar is magical. ”

The girl grabbed a handful of silver coins in her small hand, and with a ding, the silver coins automatically turned into a gold coin.

Putting ten gold coins together will automatically form a pure purple coin.

"These coins are easy to carry around, and as long as ten coins of the same face value are placed together, they can be upgraded automatically. Yang Luan's face tightened, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

Although Nangong Qingyan didn't allow her to ask about official business, how could the little girl be from the royal family, so how could she not be sensitive at all?

"I have to admit that this new coin is really unique. ”

Yang Luan has seen his country's merchants transporting coins. In many cases, in order to ensure safety and convenience, local merchants deposit gold cakes and silver in the embassies of various countries. When a large transaction is required, the silver and gold tickets can be exchanged temporarily.

In the words of the Father of the Nation, this move of our country is to lay the foundation for the construction of bank money in the future. However, the self-service synthesis of new coins fundamentally weakens the significance of depository. Could it be that in the future, we can only encourage the people to save money through interest and other means?"

In the Xia Kingdom, the so-called 10,000 guan family wealth is the real 10,000 copper coins, which is equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver in the Xia Kingdom. This huge amount of money cannot be stored in the homes of ordinary merchants. Most of them choose to exchange for gold cakes, gold leaves, and gold ingots, but even then they occupy a certain amount of space and cannot even be moved.

But the Souri dollar is different. As long as the new Suri coins are constantly stacked, 10,000 silver coins can be directly stacked into a jade coin, and you can carry it with you.

The god of wealth has the confidence to push for new coins, and it is true that new coins have various benefits. Compared with the gold and silver of the Xia Kingdom, it is easier to carry.

"Also, there is the divine power of the god of wealth attached to it. Yang Luan's eyes turned fiery red, staring at the wisp of divine power circulating on the purple coin.

The divine power of divine and noble wealth simply cannot be imitated. The moment you see this divine light, you will automatically understand a concept in your mind - this is real money.

"With the blessing of divine powers, this coin cannot be faked. On the contrary, it is the coins of my Xia Kingdom, although there are witchcraft spells, but they can't escape the decipherment of mages from various countries. In the end, the only way to start is with the gold cake code. ”

Easy to carry and unforgable, coupled with the joint promotion of the gods and various countries, the new currency has achieved great results in just a few days.

In Yang Luan's eyes, this new coin is a huge threat and must be addressed as soon as possible.

"But the idea of this new coin can be learned. When this smokeless war is over, our currency will have to borrow this portability to facilitate competition. ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Yang Luan put away the coins and said to the two girls, "You go outside and have a look." ”

"Oh. The second daughter was reprimanded by Yang Luan, looked well-behaved and obedient, and went outside to inquire about the news.

Soon, the second daughter came back again.

"Listening to people outside, it seems that the red light rises in the valley ahead for no reason, and General Meng Tian is sending people to investigate. ”

"Chiguang?" Yang Luan pressed slightly, sat in the carriage and waited.

But after a while, there was still no movement of the carriage, and the little girl could not help but become anxious.

After thinking about it, she pulled out a book to read, so as to cultivate her patience. But in the end, he can't work hard at home, and he can't be as calm as his father and the father of the country.

Well, her father's quick temper often can't calm down, but it can be said that father and daughter are in the same vein.

Through the window, Yang Luan looked in the direction of the valley. From her direction, it was difficult to get a glimpse of the red light.

In the end, Yang Luan lifted the curtain and said to Meng Tian outside, "Uncle Meng, I'll take a look." ”

Meng Tian rode on the steed, with a little hesitation on his face.

Red light rose in front of him for no reason, and he had already sent scouts to investigate, but now three groups of people had passed, but no news had been sent back.

Hearing Yang Luan's words, Meng Tian's first reaction was to ask Yang Luan to hurry back to the car. But when he saw the girl's eyes turn into fire pupils, his heart moved, and he silently asked people to stand aside, and Yang Luan observed the vision in the mountains.

Although Yang Luan is not as good as his brother and possessed by Qu Yuan's soul, the girl was born with a pair of spiritual eyes and can distinguish all things. Later, Goddess Yuanxi personally found a Divine Pupil cultivation method. With Yang Luan's current level of cultivation, where her eyes sweeped, she could ignite a raging true flame and burn mountains and rivers. As for the ability to recognize all things, it has become more and more mature over the years, and no demon can escape these eyes.

"What did you find, niece?"

"There is no evil in the mountains. Under Yang Luan's observation, the red light in front of him was like a flame, faintly condensing the true form of the phoenix in the sky.

The red light in her eyes became more and more intense, and she used her pupil technique to continue her observation.

At the back of the line, there was a commotion among several teenagers who frequently visited here.

Meng Tian's face sank, and he ordered the soldiers: "Stop these boys, don't let them come over and disturb the princess." ”

Meng Tian naturally understood the plans of those businessmen.

At present, the Xia Kingdom is in its infancy, and the class differences between various industries are not large. After all, isn't everyone fighting for this country?

There was no discrimination against merchants within the Xia Kingdom. At present, except for the three classes of spirits, soldiers, and soldiers, the other professions in the Xia Kingdom are treated equally.

The so-called spirit is not only the spirit palace witch, but also refers to all existences with the ability to cultivate. Immortal Dao, martial artists, Hongru, and even those famous doctors in the Medicine King Hall who entered the Tao with their medical skills are also counted. Xia Guo leaned resources towards this part of the people, expecting Xia Guo to cultivate his own demigods or true gods.

Shi is the administrator of the operation of the Xia royal court. Generally speaking, they have more or less cultivation in them. But the foundation is shallow, and it is not as great as those immortal cultivators and witches, so he is responsible for managing state affairs and is in charge of the twelve cities that the Xia Kingdom now holds.

Bing, naturally, is the army. Because the war was about to start, the soldiers were treated very well. In addition, Meng Tian, Huo Qubing and others were there, and no one dared to insult the soldiers at home. Even because of the high patriotic sentiment, many warriors enthusiastically joined the army.

As for farmers, merchants, potters, herders, etc., their status is almost the same. It's just that compared to the upper three orders, which are close to the center of power, the merchant is a little farther away. Therefore, those merchants planned to let their sons win the hearts of noble daughters and make progress.

But Meng Tian scoffed at this.

Although the god of the country favored Yang Luan, he promised to let Yang Luan choose his lover by himself. But with Yang Luan's potential and identity, it is impossible to really marry a mortal.

"Even if he is not the son of Xun An and the others, he will be the pride of the heavens of the Spirit Palace or the Immortal Dao, right?

Meng Tian sent someone to stop the well-behaved young men who obeyed his father's orders. After a while, Yang Luan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is no catastrophe in front of me, I observe with my eyes, there is a phoenix here." ”

"Uncle Meng, the Father of the Nation said, 'The phoenix does not fall into the land of treasures'. Although this bird is not a real bird, it has the appearance of a phoenix with five virtues, so there must be a treasure here!"

"And this thing should be related to my country. ”

"Treasure of the Phoenix?" Meng Tian fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but think of an allusion from his time.

"Princess, although your body is valuable, the origin of the phoenix treasure is strange, I don't know if you can ...... it"

"Absolutely. Yang Luan raised the soft whip on his waist and said excitedly: "My father can kill tigers and wolves when he is young, I am seven years old, and I will serve my father!"

So, Yang Luan and Meng Tian led the army to cautiously approach Chiguang.

In the place shrouded in red light, I saw the first three groups of people sleeping soundly on the ground, but their lives were worry-free.

Yang Luan fixed his eyes and suddenly said, "It's a good thing." The red light has its own ability to wash the meridians and cut the marrow, and they get close to the red light and are washed away from the dirt in their bodies. But because of his age, his body couldn't bear it, so he was temporarily unconscious. ”

After Meng Tian heard this, he immediately asked the two Siding martial artists to move closer.

The four tripod martial artists have been involved in the innate level and have completed the washing of the scriptures and the marrow. Therefore, the two middle-aged warriors were unscathed, carried the scouts out one by one, and placed them in the carriage behind.

As for the core of the red light, the two martial artists did not dare to approach it easily.

"You all stand back. Meng Tian jumped off his horse and stepped forward to observe the red light himself.

Red light poured out from a mountain col, and from time to time there was a pleasant heavenly joy.

"Mother said, 'The phoenix is exquisite, like heaven', so it must be so, right?"

Hearing the words beside him, Meng Tian hurriedly lowered his head. I saw Yang Luan standing behind him. With her hands behind her back, she followed her father's example, walking with a small face, and followed to the edge of the big pit.

"Why are you here?" Meng Tian was worried that something would happen to Yang Luan, and said unhappily: "This place is dangerous, how dare you approach!" As he spoke, he glared at those people in the distance, and you were stupid to let the princess come alone?

Yang Luan was a big ghost, waved his hand and said, "Uncle doesn't have to blame them. I was washed by the father of the nation, and I am not afraid of the power of red light. Moreover, the dragon and phoenix in my country are dual, and the phoenix is a woman. In addition, my name has the word 'Luan', which corresponds more to this opportunity. ”

The girl looked at the pit carefully, and the source of the red light was in the pit, unable to see it because of the dazzling brilliance. But in her eyes, she really didn't perceive the risk, and even more vaguely realized that this was a good thing.

"Uncle, can you go down and take out the things?"

"I'll try. Meng Tian groaned, condensed his divine power in his right hand, and slowly leaned down.

Suddenly, Chiguang sensed the divine power on Meng Tian's body, and the neon red light rushed towards Meng Tian, knocking him into the air.

Yang Luan's eyes flickered red, and he saw the extremely positive phoenix true qi contained in the red light collide with the power of the heroic soul incense on Meng Tian's body.

"Although Uncle Meng Tian is a demigod, the aura of incense is ethereal, not flesh and blood. I am the princess of a country, and according to the words of the queen mother and the witches, I was born with a phoenix ......."

In the end, the girl was bold, gritted her teeth, and jumped into the pit by herself.

"Girl!" Seeing this scene, Meng Tian was angry and anxious. But before he could rush over, he saw the red light slowly retracting. As he leaned in, the girl stood alone in the pit, holding a half-man-tall piece of white jade in her arms.

"Sure enough, it's beautiful jade?" Meng Tian's face was a little complicated: "The jade descends from the sky, and the phoenix falls into the treasure." This...... Is this the destiny of our country?"

Isn't this the origin of the legendary He's Bi?

Yang Luan hugged Yupu, and the red light gradually converged. She laughed and said, "My father was looking for beautiful jade to carve the seal during this time. I think this thing fits. ”

Seeing the treasure light moving, the mist rushed into the sky. Meng Tian hurriedly said: "Let's leave quickly and return to China at night." After all, this place is not in our country, so it is not very peaceful-"

Suddenly, a phoenix phantom appeared in the jade pur where the red light converged. The divine bird shook its wings, wrapped in boundless flames and enveloped Yang Luan, Meng Tian, and the entire convoy.

The next moment, everyone completely disappeared into the sea of fire.

......

It was night, in the Yongle Palace, and Ji Le was sleeping soundly in the dormitory.

In his sleep, he suddenly saw a red Luan Feng grabbing Baoyu and stumbling towards him.

When Baoyu crashed into his arms, Ji Le immediately came to his senses.

"Ahh

Ji Le woke up from the bed, and the four witches who were keeping vigil outside suddenly stood up. A person stepped forward with a lotus lantern: "Your Highness, has there been anything?"

"It's okay, I just had a dream. Ji Le jumped off the ground, and the two red-clothed witches hurriedly stepped forward to put on his coat.

Ji Le smiled lightly: "You guys, you don't have to worry so much about what Su Yu's girl ordered. If you are so alone, can you still freeze yourself?"

Once upon a time, Su Yu was also a little witch who kept vigil in front of her. Now she is in charge of the daily scheduling of the Yongle Palace.

According to Su Yu's instructions, there must be four witches keeping vigil outside the palace every day, and five shifts will be rotated to prevent Ji Le from making mistakes.

"Lone is not a clay doll, a porcelain vase, it doesn't need to be taken care of so carefully. ”

Ji Le felt helpless, but the four witches didn't speak, and carefully took care of everything around them.

The windows are closed, the stoves are burned, and some people tie belts around him.

Shaking his head, Ji Le walked to the door of the dormitory and looked to the west. Faintly, he saw the red light rising in the west. Immediately, the red light turned into a firebird and pierced the sky from the west and rushed towards the east.

Squinting and thinking for a while, Ji Le said slowly: "Go and ask the hussar general, I have something for him to do." ”
