Zong Zhengshen is a little unthinking these days.

If nothing else, just for the book "Mind Confusion". I read through the first volume more than five times, and each time I had a new insight.

In the past, he also knew a little about the way of observing words and feelings, after all, begging for a life under the nose of the queen in the palace, without these skills, he would have "died of illness" a long time ago.

But after reading this strange book, he was like a martial arts practitioner whose meridians were opened overnight, longing for a steady stream of true qi to enter his body.

But Ran Shaotang, the little girl, forcibly cut off the true qi he relied on to maintain, you said that he was not in a hurry. If he dared to hang his appetite like this on others, he would have tried every means to force the other party to comply.

As for Ran Shaotang, it's not that he doesn't want to start, but that Jiuchou has been surrounded like flies, and he has no way to start. It's not good to have someone to look at you even when you see each other.

Now, Ran Shaotang offered to give the next volume, and he took the lead.

The candles in the private room are bright, and there is a book on the table of "Confusing the Heart. The second volume is placed in the center, and under the light of candlelight, the old bamboo slips shine in the eyes of Zong Zhengshen.

He impatiently pressed the bamboo slip under his palm, stared at Ran Shaotang sideways, and looked suspicious: "What tricks?" ”

Ran Shaotang hurriedly handed over the things, which made him feel that there was something strange about this matter.

Ran Shaotang's little face was flushed under the candlelight, and he was cute. If people who don't know her see her, they will think that she is a good bully.

Zong Zhengshen fell for this, and now he is not so easy to deceive.

Ran Shaotang smiled slightly, and actually showed shyness: "The Third Highness is really a studious person, and he reads the mind trick so thoroughly, I can't fool you anymore." ”

After she finished patting her ass and taking the medicine, she changed her tone of pleading and asked, "I did ask for His Royal Highness, I'm embarrassed to say that I was seen by you at a glance." ”

Zongzheng was even more suspicious. She wants money now, she wants people, she can walk sideways in Qianmen Town, what can stump her? Coming to ask yourself?

He coughed dryly, and hesitantly spat out a word: "Say ---"

Ran Shaotang grinned twice: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm going to go to Jiancheng in a few days to take a turn, thinking that it's also your territory, do you have a prince token or something?" Give me an envoy. ”

Zong Zhengshen: Why don't you go to heaven? Do you want a prince token? Why don't you let the prince do it for you?

"Nope." He simply refused.

"Sanqi, send off." Ran Shaotang's style has never dragged the mud and water, since you can't talk about it, then you can leave.

Before Zong Zhengshen could react, the person had already been pushed out of the door.

He looked at the door that closed with the private room, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Isn't it talking? Shouldn't you go back and forth a few times before deciding who wins or loses?

Meng De stood behind him and called out blankly, "Your Highness."

It's getting dark outside, and we should have gone home.

"Huh?" Zong Zhengshen, who was also at a loss, clenched the bamboo slip in his hand and nodded, "Let's go, go home." "Luckily, the bamboo slips are here.

Ran Shaotang stood by the window on the second floor, looking at the two horses galloping past in the market, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Zong Zhengshen, let's see you in Jiancheng.

Be sure to have plenty of money on hand.

"Sanqi, prepare the carriage."

Ran Shaotang is worried that things will change later.

After Zong Zhengshen gets the next volume of his heart, he will definitely read it at night, and when the time comes, he will definitely find that there is still a middle volume between the upper and lower volumes of the Mind Confusion Technique, and at that time, I am afraid that he will kill him overnight.

She won't confront angry people.

This kind of person is irrational and can't reason with him.

Ran Shaotang asked Xie Yingjian to send her back to Jingshan overnight, and after resting for a night, she took Qin Xiaoyue and was driven by Wang Fulai, who volunteered, to walk the nearest distance and go straight to Jiancheng from the ghost side.

Sitting in the gorgeous and spacious carriage, Qin Xiaoyue asked Ran Shaotang curiously: "Childe, what are we going to do in Zhourao?" ”

Ran Shaotang lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at the speeding scenery, and said casually: "Eat, drink, play, and have fun." ”

Jiancheng, like Qianmen Town, is located in the desert.

However, across the oasis ghost side, the climate of Jiancheng is drier than that of Qianmen Town, because of the lack of food, and can only rely on buying food at a high price from the rich land of Zhourao Kingdom.

In the past, the people of Jiancheng were often in a state of hunger, since it became the fief of the three princes, he communicated with several major grain merchants who did business with Zhou Rao, and wrote to Emperor Zhou Rao to tell the suffering of the people in the border pass. Taking historical allusions as an example, it is pointed out that if the people at the border pass cannot live in peace, it will inevitably cause national security risks.

I don't know if Emperor Zhou Rao took pity on this son, or if the historical allusions moved the emperor, he gave a lot of wealth and silk, and at the same time exempted the place from paying taxes for three years.

Suddenly, this move attracted the queen and the eldest prince to be cautious about Zongzheng, and sent people to watch him closely at all times.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Zong Zhengshen has not taken any special actions except for taking out silver taels to help the victims from time to time, so he gradually relaxed.

Under the prudent governance of Zong Zhengshen, although Jiancheng is not a prosperous place, there is another scene where the border desert is about to rise.

Ran Shaotang stayed here for three days, and his biggest feeling was that --- profitable.

Gao Xiguo and Zhou Raoguo have a truce of five years, and the two countries have signed a good-neighborly and friendly agreement for only two years, and border trade has not yet been allowed in the official face, but the common people have begun to benefit each other in private.

The generals and officials of the two countries turned a blind eye and did not arbitrarily stop them.

Ran Shaotang felt that this was the best time to make money.

In the past few days, she took Qin Xiaoyue to walk the streets and alleys, learn about the local customs, eat, drink and have fun at the same time, and by the way, she had a rough idea of Zhou Rao's national conditions.

On this day, she sat in the teahouse and listened to music, thinking about the trade business between Gao Xi and Zhou Rao.

Gaoxi country is rich in grain and salt, and Zhourao country is rich in iron ore resources, of which salt and iron are both caught in the hands of the imperial court, and if you want to make money, you can only smuggle.

The risk of smuggling is too high, and only food can do something.

She was writing on the table with bamboo chopsticks dipped in tea, when she suddenly heard someone downstairs scolding and scolding towards the second floor.

The shopkeeper didn't seem to be able to stop it, and he said nice things vigorously.

"Yan Gongzi, the second floor has been taken over. You see that there is a window seat on the third floor, or you ......" Before the little two finished speaking, he was punched in the face, and he rolled down the stairs with a bang.

Qin Xiaoyue stood up vigilantly and stood in front of Ran Shaotang.

"Childe, the movement outside is coming at us, do you want to call Wang Fu up?"

Although Wang Fu's three-legged cat kung fu may not be able to win against the other party, it is better than two children.

Ran Shaotang smiled lightly, wiped the words on the table with his white and tender little hands, and said calmly: "What are you afraid of, maybe people are rushing to help us with money?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a big man rushed in, with a full beard and round eyes, Qin Xiaoyue looked up at the mountain at the door, and sighed: "God, it is stronger than the breeding bull in the village." ”
