"Okay, okay, Brother Ling, sit down quickly. Shangguan Jing smiled and asked Nan Lingye to sit down.

After Nan Lingye sat down, he began to introduce today's dishes to An Ran and Shangguan Jing.

"Looks like we're blessed today. Shangguan Jing looked at the dishes on the table and said.

"Come, two, you're welcome, try it. ”

The three of them were eating delicious food, Shangguan Jing looked at An Ran and said, "Brother Lin, what do you think?"

An Ran bowed slightly, "Very good." ”

This is true, the dishes that Nan Lingye entertained them this time are indeed very distinctive, and she likes the taste very much.

"If you two think it's good, then I'll be relieved, I'm afraid you won't like it. Nan Lingye smiled slightly.

It was rare for the moonlight to be so good tonight, and after being full of wine and food, the three of them went to the courtyard to sit and admire the moon.

"Brother Ling, why did you go to the field for so long this time?" Shangguan Jing asked casually.

"In addition to collecting debts, I also went to do something. Nan Lingye responded, looking at Shangguan Jing, a little like he wanted to say something.

An Ran, who was on the side, saw Nan Lingye's strange appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. I don't want Nan Lingye at all, he has always been decisive and refreshing, why is it so strange this time, it seems that there must be something wrong with him inviting her and Shangguan Jing to come this time, and that thing made him a little embarrassed.

An Ran couldn't help but be even more curious, what kind of thing was that stumped Nan Lingye.

"I see, then I'm back this time, I shouldn't be going out so soon, right?" Shangguan Jing asked.

"I should be in the capital these days," Nan Lingye replied.

"That's good, we can get together often, you say yes, Brother Lin?" Shangguan Jing suddenly looked at An Ran.

An Ran came back to his senses, nodded, showed a far-fetched smile, and responded, "Yes." ”

The three of them chanted poems to admire the moon and talked about life, and after two hours passed, An Ran originally wanted to say that he would go back first, but he was called by Nan Lingye.

"Brother Ling has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Shangguan Jing said directly.

Nan Lingye glanced at him, his blue eyes flashed with a faint light, sighed secretly, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll also say it directly." ”

Neither An Ran nor Shangguan Jing spoke, just quietly waiting for Nan Lingye to continue.

"Brother Shangguan, I heard that you are very familiar with the chief shopkeeper of Yingzihao, can you introduce it on your behalf? Nan Lingye said it, and looked straight at Shangguan Jing with blue eyes.

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Jing couldn't help but be stunned, An Ran was even more shocked, Nan Lingye actually wanted to see Uncle Leng, could it be that he found out something?

No, it's impossible, if Nan Lingye knew that she was An Ran, then at this moment, he would definitely not be here to admire the moon with her, but directly arrested her into the secret prison in the palace, or killed her directly.

So what is his purpose in meeting Uncle Leng? An Ran frowned and looked at Nan Lingye defensively, trying to see something from his face.

Shangguan Jing looked at An Ran without a trace, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "Can I know what's going on?"

Nan Lingye was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Regarding the matter of salt transportation, I want to cooperate with him. ”

As soon as the words came out, An Ran and Shangguan Jing were even more shocked, the two looked at each other, and then An Ran said: "I think the cold shopkeeper will not see you, Yingzihao has almost completely monopolized the commercial salt of Northern Chu now, and as far as I know, they will not have the idea of seeking a partner for the time being." ”

Nan Lingye wants to discuss the matter of salt transportation with Uncle Leng, what is going on? An Ran has a hunch that her identity will soon be discovered by Nan Lingye.

But even if she thought of this, An Ran didn't feel scared, now she didn't have to be afraid of Nan Lingye, she was no longer the helpless person who just came to Beichu.

"Brother Lin is right, dare to ask Brother Ling, why do you want to see Shopkeeper Leng?" Shangguan Jing asked.

"I don't know if you two know that there is not only a famine in the west, but also a salt famine?" Nan Lingye asked.

"I've heard a little. ”

An Ran looked at Nan Lingye, and probably guessed his intention, he wanted the people on Shangyan's side to cooperate with the government to solve the problem in the west.

"I want to see the cold shopkeeper this time, just for the sake of the salt shortage in the west. Nan Lingye told the truth.

Shangguan Jing raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, "Even if you want to negotiate with the storekeeper Leng, then this matter should be brought forward by someone from the imperial court, isn't it ......?"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Jing had already guessed something, and his deep ink eyes looked straight at Nan Lingye, waiting for his answer.

Nan Ling Ye was silent for a long time before he said, "You guessed right, I'm from the imperial court. ”

An Ran looked at him in some surprise, Nan Lingye actually admitted that he was a member of the court, could it be that he really wanted to tell them that his true identity was His Majesty of Northern Chu?

No, no, Nan Lingye is not this kind of person. He is very cautious and scheming, and he will never reveal his identity unless it is absolutely necessary.

"I see, no wonder when I first saw Brother Ling, I felt that your temperament was not an ordinary businessman. Then Brother Ling is in charge of the affairs in the west this time?" Shangguan Jing asked.

Nan Ling Ye waved his hand and responded: "No, Ling is just doing things under His Royal Highness King Ning, and the person in charge of this matter is His Royal Highness King Ning." ”

Hearing Nan Lingye's words, An Ran couldn't help but feel funny, Nan Lingye was really good at speaking, and he completely reversed the role, obviously it was Nan Lingyu, the king of Ning, who did things for him, but he said that he was doing things for Nan Lingyu.

"I see. Shangguan Jing suddenly realized.

"The people in the west are now in dire straits, and I would like to invite Brother Shangguan to introduce me to the lower level, and I want to have a good talk with the storekeeper Leng. Nan Lingye looked at Shangguan Jing and said.

Shangguan Jing thought for a while before responding: "Brother Ling, you are really admired for the country and the people." I promise you, I'll try my best to convince Shopkeeper Leng that I'll have someone give you an answer tomorrow, how? I'm not 100% sure, but I'll try my best. ”

Nan Lingye clenched his fists and said, "The people in the west of my place are grateful to Brother Shangguan. ”

"You're welcome. Alright, it's not too early, we should go back too, wait for my news tomorrow. After speaking, Shangguan Jing got up, An Ran followed, and then the two left Nan Lingye's mansion together.

On the way back, An Ran was silent all the time, didn't speak, just walked quietly, looking preoccupied.

Shangguan Jing looked at An Ran and couldn't help but ask, "Ah Ran, you haven't spoken since just now. What do you think of what Brother Ling said?"
