Chapter 20: Transactions

On the second day, inside the General's Palace. Zheng Yuan was wiping his Qingshuang sword in the study, when there was a noisy sound outside the door, and he put down his sword in annoyance and rubbed his temples.

At this time, the door clicked open, Du Huanting broke in, and servant A hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of Du Huanting.

"I'll just say two words, eh, get out of the way!" Du Huanting shouted at Zheng Yuan: "General, general." ”

"Let her in, you go down." Zheng Yuan said to servant A.

Servant A went out, closed the door, and there were only two people left in the house, Du Huanting and Zheng Yuan.

"This guy is too difficult, so he won't let me in, but I'm also a guest." Du Huanting complained: "If it's in our house, I'll fire him!" ”

"The affairs of the General's Mansion are not to Miss Lao Du's concern."

"I'm just giving a small suggestion," Du Huanting shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay, forget me about being nosy, I'll get straight to the point." How on earth are you willing to let my father live? ”

Zheng Yuan picked up another sword and replied while wiping it: "Why, the smart Miss Du also has times when she is helpless?" ”

Du Huanting deliberately smiled flatteringly: "No matter how smart you are, you are not as resourceful as the general." I'll admit that I've done a lot of things wrong since we met, so I'm not here to admit my mistakes. ”

"Then tell me what you did wrong."

Du Huanting began to analyze the matter.

"One, I shouldn't take other people's things for myself. Two, I shouldn't have saved people's hearts and used beautiful women to bribe you. Three, I shouldn't underestimate your IQ. Four, I shouldn't have fantasized about you being so kind..."

"The last two sound like accusations against me."

"Nope." Du Huanting waved her hands nervously: "No, general, how dare I accuse you?" ”

As she spoke, she circled around Zheng Yuan and said flatteringly, "Look at how graceful you are, how elegant and elegant your taste is." Then he pointed to his saber, "How sharp and sharp this saber is." As the saying goes, the sword is like its person, how can a high-end and high-grade person like a general care about a weak woman. ”

Du Huanting's mouth was broken, but Zheng Yuan still ignored her. She used up all the four-character idioms she remembered, and she felt very poor at the moment.

"Eh, General, I'll wipe it for you." Du Huanting went to grab the sword in his hand, Zheng Yuan quickly raised his arm, but did not grab it. She tried her best to reach it, but Zheng Yuan was so tall that she couldn't reach it at all. Du Huanting forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and when she saw that there was still one on the table, she immediately pretended to smile and said, "Then I'll wipe this one." ”

"Hmm...."Du Huanting picked it up with difficulty, "Hehe.. It seems to be heavier than I thought. She smiled awkwardly at Zheng Yuan.

"It's better for the general to wipe his valuables. Or I'll give you a pinch." Du Huanting walked over to Zheng Yuan, pressed him to the seat and sat down, thinking: Only by paralyzing the enemy's body can we better achieve the goal.

She put her hands on Zheng Yuan's neck and said softly, "I'll pinch this for you first." ”

I saw that Zheng Yuan was shocked, and his face became very strange.

"Are you comfortable?" She asked.

Zheng Yuan removed Du Huanting's hands and asked slowly, "Are you trying to murder me in this way?" ”

"Oh, general, you're too careful. Even if I wanted to murder you, I couldn't beat you. ”

"You're pretty self-aware."

"Winning and winning awards happens to be my biggest strength." Du Huanting said proudly that he wanted to continue to help Zheng Yuan massage, but he had already stood up, looked down at Du Huanting, who was half-squatting, and said, "Do you think I'm praising you?" ”

"You're not complimenting me... Is it? She asked innocently.

Zheng Yuan said meaningfully: "You guess." ”

"You guess I don't guess.." Du Huanting smiled and showed a mouthful of big white teeth.

"It seems that Miss Du is indeed different."

His expression became solemn, and he paced to the window. Du Huanting thought: What is he selling?

After being silent for a long time, Zheng Yuan suddenly asked, "Why don't we make a deal?" ”

Du Huanting chuckled in her heart and thought: Transaction? He wouldn't want me to sell myself to save my father, if I put it in my previous body, the key is that I am now a daughter, so it's a bit of a deal... At least some rare treasures...

Just as she began to think about it, Zheng Yuan continued to ask, "Do you know black bone ginseng?" ”

"Food?" Then, Du Huanting shook her head vigorously: "I don't know how to cook." ”

Zheng Yuan paused and explained: "This black-bone ginseng is extremely rare, it is a variant of wild ginseng, and only one plant will emerge in tens of thousands of wild ginseng. But it can be integrated into any herb to treat all kinds of diseases. ”

"You're quite knowledgeable...."

"It is precisely because it is rare and difficult to find, so it is priceless, and the king of Mongolia paid three tributes in order to please the saint. The emperor used one, and the other two were divided between the favored second and third princes. The third prince had a serious illness last year, and he got better with his medicine. ”

Du Huanting nodded thoughtfully: "Then this treasure is only left with the second prince." ”

Zheng Yuan looked back at her and said firmly: "It will be the emperor's eightieth birthday in a few days, you take the opportunity to sneak into the second prince's bedroom and take it out." ”

"Huh? Why? Du Huanting subconsciously took three steps back, "After doing it for a long time, you want to trap me in injustice." ”

"Didn't you want to save your father?"

"Oh! I see, you want to threaten me? Du Huanting suddenly realized.

"Yes."

Du Huanting didn't expect Zheng Yuan to admit it so easily, and those scolding words couldn't be played for a while.

"Don't say yes, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"Don't you know martial arts, why don't you steal it yourself?"

"Loss of identity."

Du Huanting almost jumped up angrily, she pointed at Zheng Yuan and asked angrily: "Then I will have a lot of face if I go to steal Du Xiangguo's daughter?" ”

Zheng Yuan glanced at her and said mockingly, "With your teeth and claws like this, no one will recognize you as a daughter." ”

"You... Treat my Du family like this, there will be retribution! Du Huanting gritted her teeth, thinking that this guy was simply arrogant, and he must have been flattened in modern times.

"Say yes or no?"

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated."

"Don't say yes? Then please go back. ”

Du Huanting said eagerly: "Wait, I want to ask a few questions." ”

"Say."

"Am I in danger of getting in?"

"No, naturally there are people who are compatible with you."

"Is there any other reward besides letting my dad out?"

Zheng Yuan looked at her dumbly for a while, "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?" ”

"Okay, last question, is the second prince handsome?"

Facing Du Huanting's innocent smiling expression, Zheng Yuan suddenly saw the girl dancing in the palace banquet ten years ago, and he was stunned for a while.

"What are you doing, hey." She waved her hand in front of his eyes, and when Zheng Yuan came back to his senses, she took off the claws in front of his eyes, "Don't you have long eyes?" ”

"Of course it's long, and it's round and big." Du Huanting pointed to his eyes.

"Then you should see for yourself with your eyes."

Suddenly, she smiled maliciously and asked, "It's okay if you don't answer, then let me ask you who is more handsome compared to you as the second prince?" Tell the truth. ”

At this moment, a slight cough came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation between the two of them in the room.

"Miss Du, don't change the subject, please give me an answer now."
