Chapter 15 The rivers and lakes are far away
Nangong Shuo expected it to be good, the girl in green is indeed not small, she is the only sister of the current Emperor Jin Wushu of Northern Yan, Princess Shengtong of Northern Yan, her maiden name is Jin Ling'er, and she is sixteen years old.
Beiyan is located in the north of the desert, founded by business, everyone in the country can be said to be business, and the Jin family of the royal family of Beiyan is the most powerful businessman in Beiyan. As the princess of Beiyan, Jin Ling'er has been very talented in business since she was a child, because of the early death of her biological mother, her father took special pity on her, and she has been carefully cultivated for many years, and has handed over all her lifelong learning and business experience. When Jin Ling'er was fourteen years old, the elderly former Beiyan Emperor was terminally ill and named her Princess Shengtong, and since then, the young Shengtong Princess Jin Ling'er has mastered the commercial lifeline of the Beiyan royal family, and has become the most noble person in the entire Beiyan in addition to her half-brother and Jin Wushu, who later inherited the throne of Beiyan, and has also become the unrubbed sand in the eyes of Helian Jie, the queen of Beiyan.
Back in the room, Jin Ling'er took off her makeup in the mirror and prepared to go to bed, she has been busy in the past few days, but she was tired, she didn't expect to be in Ningguo, Helian Jie still refused to stop, and even sent a killer to chase and kill her Suzhou courtyard, this boring woman! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel bored.
At this time, the maid Pearl spoke: "Princess, do you want to send someone to check the details of those two people just now?" ”
"No need, those two people are from Ningguo, looking at the situation at the time, they shouldn't be with Helian Jie." Jin Ling'er cupped her cheeks and said a little tiredly.
Those two strange Ning Guo men, since they had no evil intentions, and they took each other's swords, they didn't suffer any losses, so let them go, as for their identities, she didn't bother to care.
From April to May every year, Suzhou mulberry leaves send out new sprouts, Suzhou men raise silkworms and reel silk, Suzhou women rush to make such a cloud of silk brocade day and night, and the skilled embroidery girls use that pair of ingenious hands to conjure up the luxurious and realistic, colorful Suzhou embroidery, attracting countless businessmen to come to purchase, most of them are sold to Beiyan, and a small part flows to Xichu through Beiyan, becoming a fashionable and popular commodity among the nobles of the two countries, and the gorgeous and gorgeous color attracts them to rush to buy. Strangely, the lack of enthusiasm of the people of Ningguo for this gorgeous thing with flowers and brocade may be related to the frugal style that successive Ningguo emperors have been advocating.
As the largest merchant in Beiyan, since taking over the business network of the Beiyan royal family, Jin Linger has to go to Suzhou every year to purchase a large number of Suzhou embroidery products and transport them back to China, and then resell them to the noblewomen of Beiyan at a high price. Of course, as the most successful merchant in the world, she also knows the preferences of the nobles of Western Chu, and all the nobles of Northern Yan can not use up, so they will be transported to Western Chu, and the price will be twice as high. Unlike Ningguo, Beiyan is still luxurious, the more luxurious it is, the more popular it is, and finding ways to empty the purses of the nobles of Beiyan is the greatest pleasure of Jin Ling'er.
Of course, in addition, she went to Ningguo for another purpose, which was an important task given to her by her royal brother Jin Wushu, and she had to deal with that rude bandit leader.
When Nangong Shuo carried the fainted Xiao Lingji back to the inn, Liu Sheng was pacing back and forth outside the inn, looking very anxious. Seeing Nangong Shuo, Liu Sheng was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward.
"Young Master Nangong, where have you and the second prince been? If you don't come back, I'm going to go out with Guard Zhang to look for you. Glancing at Xiao Lingji on Nangong Shuo's back, he asked suspiciously, "Did you go out to drink?" The second prince has always been very good at drinking, why is he still drunk? ”
"Go to the doctor, the second prince is injured!" Nangong Shuo didn't have time to explain to him, so he hurriedly carried Xiao Lingji back to the room.
Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, gasped, put away his doubts, and immediately went to pat the door of the shopkeeper and asked him to go to the doctor quickly.
Soon, a man dressed in a rural area was invited to Xiao Lingji's room, only to see Xiao Lingji's face pale, the wound was still oozing blood, and he frowned and looked in pain.
Lang Zhong checked the wound and gave Xiao Lingji medicine, and then said happily: "Although the wound is deep, fortunately the key point is avoided, this son is in strong health, and there is no big problem, but he lost too much blood in a short period of time, so he fainted." I'll prescribe a prescription, and if you take the medicine according to the prescription, you will raise it for ten days and half a month, and you will be cured. ”
Hearing Lang Zhong say this, Nangong Shuo let go of his heart hanging in the air, and Liu Sheng also let out a long breath, saying thank God, his human head was finally saved.
Early the next morning, Xiao Lingji woke up and turned around, and when he saw Nangong Shuo and Liu Sheng accompanying him by the bedside, he shouted that he was hungry and wanted to eat. Liu Sheng received the order and hurriedly went downstairs to order Xiao Er to prepare a meal.
Recalling the scene last night, Xiao Lingji, who couldn't move, used his eyes all over the room to find his Longquan sword.
Nangong Shuo was gloomy: "Second prince, it's useless for me, the Longquan Sword was taken away by that woman." ”
Xiao Lingji hated and said: "I don't know where the thief came from, she is quite unreasonable, we were kind enough to save her, but she took my sword, I Xiao Lingji must take the sword back!" ”
"We don't know the details of the other party, you are injured again now, and if you want to recapture the Longquan Sword, we have to discuss it slowly, for now, it is important to take care of your injuries."
Xiao Lingji was a little discouraged, he had grown so big, only he had let others get hurt, and no one had ever been able to hurt him. The kung fu of the two black-clothed men last night was obviously much higher than him, and the realm of the four white-clothed women beside the green-clothed girl was even more beyond his reach.
At this time, the shopkeeper brought the tea and rice, last night was a fierce battle, Xiao Lingji was indeed hungry, looking at his gobbling up, Nangong Shuo and Liu Sheng were completely relieved.
Because of Xiao Lingji's injury, they rested at the Four Seas Inn for three days, and when they set off again, they naturally didn't dare to delay the time, so they just hurried. Xiao Lingji was injured and couldn't ride a horse, so he could only take the carriage instead, thinking about the lost Longquan sword, and thinking about how to find the girl in green to grab the sword after recovering from his injury.
Three days later, they arrived near the Crow Ridge, sure enough, as the rumors said, the Crow Ridge is desolate, the mountains are steep, the grass and trees are sparse, the birds and beasts are extinct, as the last pass to enter Liangzhou, over this Crow Ridge, is the boundary of Liangzhou.
Thinking of the orders of his eldest brother Xiao Lingting that day, and now that he is injured, what kind of gangster Gu Qingfeng, Xiao Lingji has no strength to meet him in general, he reluctantly ordered Liu Sheng and Zhang Fu to take a detour to Crow Ridge and take the official road next to him.
