It is also extremely difficult for these people to make a living.

And these Khitan people were shocked, they didn't expect that the people of Yanguo actually had such ability, those people secretly thought, fortunately there was no reckless action, and this time they came to explore the strength of Yanguo.

Jin Lingluo saw that these Khitan people were very amazed, and he was very happy in his heart, the Khitan is a small country composed of nomads, although it is now dependent on Yanguo, but in recent years, it has been constantly harassing the people at the border, and the people are also complaining.

Jin Lingluo looked at Lan Baobao with an expression, and gently clinged to Lan Baobao's ear and said: "You don't have to care about these people, if you have a favorite object, just say it, if you want to go anywhere." ”

Lan Baobao could hear that Jin Lingluo was caring about her, and she had been following this Khitan princess, but Lan Baobao was also extremely bored.

At this time, there was a candy blowing booth in front, and the blue baby hurriedly walked a few steps over: "Jin Gongzi, this is very good-looking, let's go over and see if it's okay." ”

Blue Baby pulled Jin Lingluo to stand in front of the candy man.

"What kind of sugar man does this boy want, there is nothing that can't be blown out of the bottom, only what you can't think of." The candy man kept bragging about himself.

"Dragon, can you make it?"

Listening to the man who sold candy, Jin Lingluo was very confident, so he thought about making his debut for this person.

"This son, the dragon can't do it, it's a symbol of the Son of Heaven, how can it be blown into a sugar man and eaten again, this can't, can't."

Qingyu laughed on the side: "Jin Gongzi, why are you suffering as a candy buyer, wouldn't it be better to be a little fox." ”

Chapter 121 Follow the Locals

After Jin Lingluo came back from the forest more than ten years ago, he fell ill, and then mentioned to Qingyu that the green fox in the forest had become a woman, and at that time Qingyu just thought that Jin Lingluo was burned to the ground.

Later, Jin Lingluo himself was very skeptical of the memory of that time for a while, and he clearly saw the woman's appearance at that time, but since he was ill, the woman's appearance was extremely vague.

After that, Jin Lingluo also took people to look for it in the forest, but there was no trace at all, only the big tree that was split by lightning, and finally the woodcutter cut it down.

After a while, the years passed, until he saw the blue baby, Jin Lingluo felt in his heart that the blue baby was extremely imaginary to the woman in the forest and liked to wear green clothes.

"Then you can be a fox." Jin Lingluo immediately opened his mouth lightly. 、

Blue Baby listened to Jin Lingluo's mouth about the fox, and then thought of the woodcarved fox that was given to her in Yuyao County before, it is difficult for Jin Lingluo to remember the green fox back then, but it has been fifteen years, and I must have felt that I was too pitiful to see Blue Baby at that time to have some impressions.

It was very magical, I saw that the man used a small shovel to take a little syrup, put it on the hand stained with talcum powder and rubbed it, and then held one end with his mouth, and after blowing foam, he quickly put it in the wooden mold coated with talcum powder, and blew hard, and after a while, opened the wooden mold and a little fox was ready.

The man took the reed stick in the basket, dipped it in some syrup, put the little fox on one end of the reed, and handed it to Jin Lingluo.

Seeing that this vivid little thing was very pleasing, the blue baby stared straight at the sugar man in Jin Lingluo's hand, only to see Jin Lingluo raise his hand and lift the sugar man in front of the blue baby: "This sweet thing is not suitable for me, for you." ”

The blue baby hurriedly took it over, and carefully looked at the little fox in his hand, so beautiful, but he was really reluctant to eat it, so he kept it in his hand all the way, smiling like a three-year-old child.

"Rock sugar gourd, delicious rock sugar gourd......"

There are a lot of folk snacks here, and seeing the children who walk by holding a string of rock sugar gourds in their hands, the eyes of the blue baby are attracted.

The food of the spiritual world, the blue baby, has been eaten for more than 500 years, and he has long been tired of eating it, and although the snacks of these people are not as exquisite as the food in the palace, the smiles on the faces of those children cannot be found in the palace.

Jin Lingluo saw that Lan Baobao was curious about everything, and was really impressed by her cute appearance, so he came to the woman who sold rock sugar gourds: "I bought all the rock sugar gourds." ”

In fact, the so-called all of them are actually just a dozen, and this woman's clothes are very plain, and she even patches are patched on the sleeves.

Blue Baby reminded Jin Lingluo of what Jin Lingluo had said before: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." ”

Presumably, this woman's family is also extremely poor, and she is making some rock sugar gourds to sell all day long to subsidize the family, and Jin Lingluo's behavior is also telling Lan Baobao how to help those who should be helped, rather than blind favors.

"Thank you for this childe, thank you for the child." When the woman saw that Jin Lingluo had bought everything she had, so that she could go home and do some other work to support the family, she bowed vigorously and thanked her.

Jin Lingluo hurriedly helped the woman up, took the rock sugar gourd held by the oil paper and handed it to Helian Jinrong's hand.

Looking at the woman's grateful expression, Lan Baobao felt that Jin Lingluo was really a good monarch, and Yanguo would be prosperous and strong because of him.

Lan Baobao took out a rock sugar gourd from Helian Jinrong, tasted it, and felt that the sweet and sour was very in line with the taste, now Lan Baobao is really pregnant, so he likes sour food very much, Jin Lingluo saw that Lan Bao liked it very much, so he ordered no one to move, only Lan Bao could eat it.

Along the way, the Khitan princess was very quiet, just following behind the blue baby and his party, Jin Lingluo was still observing the actions of these Khitans while watching the folk style.

Helian Jinrong stood in front of a stall selling fans, and the man who sold things said softly: "That Khitan went to the mansion of the king, as if he had handed over a letter to the housekeeper there and left. ”

Helian Jinrong nodded in understanding, and pretended to pick a fan there.

Then Helian Jinrong came to Jin Lingluo's side, and whispered softly in Jin Lingluo's ear one by one, Jin Lingluo's expression did not show the slightest shock after hearing it, as if this was already what Jin Lingluo expected.

"Don't act rashly first, presumably even if you go now, the secret letter will be destroyed, let's wait and see what happens, I want to see what kind of movement this country can make."

Jin Lingluo softly instructed Helian Jinrong, in the past, there was no exact thing to prove that Guozhang had different intentions, and Jin Lingluo was just guessing, but now, he was convinced, Jin Lingluo thought that when the time came, he would make a move.

Although Jin Lingluo's words were light, the ears of the blue baby were fox ears, and he could hear them clearly.

Blue Baby thought, this matter is not easy to participate in, but a breakthrough can be found in this Khitan princess.

If this princess is fake, then if this princess dies in Yanguo, then the Khitan will definitely find a reason to provoke the border of Yanguo; But if this princess is real, then you can try your best to let her stay in Yanguo, preferably marrying the royal family, so that you can contain every move of the Khitan.

Just as the blue baby was thinking, a sign in front of it attracted the attention of the blue baby, the gambling house, this kind of place is mixed, anything can happen, this is the best place to test the princess.

"Jin Gongzi, it's not as good as us......"

Blue Baby clinged to Jin Lingluo's ear and whispered about his plan.

In fact, Blue Baby's intention was to order Helian Jinrong to go to the gambling house to arrange manpower first, and then bring the Khitan group in.

After hearing this, Jin Lingluo felt that this plan was very good, so he ordered Helian Jinrong to deal with it first.

When the casino except for the boss was all Helian Jinrong's subordinates, pretending to be buddies and gamblers, and there were more than a dozen of them who were the big bosses of Xifeng Village and more than a dozen brothers at that time.

Soon the blue baby and his party walked downstairs to the gambling house, and the blue baby said with a playful face: "Princess, since you have come to our Dayan Kingdom, why don't you play a few games." ”

The Khitan guards hesitated for a moment, looked at Yelu Tabu Yan worriedly, and then Yelu Tabu Yan said indifferently: "Since we have come to Dayan Kingdom, then we will follow the customs of the countryside and play with you." ”

When the blue baby saw that the princess had complied with her request, she was overjoyed, and she bent down and asked the princess to come in.

As soon as he entered the gambling house, the blue baby saw those familiar faces, and the big boss also saw the blue baby and his party, and then tried his best to cover it up, and continued to turn around and play their own, shouting loudly: "Big, big, big, alas...... Lost again. ”

This gambling house is a two-story building, below which are a few gambling tables that ordinary ordinary people shake the dice to press, and there are private rooms upstairs that are relatively closed.

"How many masters are going to a single room? Or a few little plays below? ”

At this time, the owner of the gambling house came over and asked politely.

There were many people downstairs, and Jin Lingluo glanced at Helian Jinrong.

"Go upstairs." Helian Jinrong replied coldly, and the boss led the way in front and took the blue baby and his party to the house on the second floor with the sign of wealth coming from the east.

The boss personally stood in front of the gambling table, picked up the dice cup and shook it, the most popular thing in the gambling house is to bet on the size of the bet.

"Princess, please."

Lan Baobao stood aside, respectfully invited the eldest princess of Khitan, and sat down.

"Oh, this princess, the rules are very simple, you can bet whatever you want, big and small, and you can sign a contract, if you lose the money, you can take the contract back, and you can pay it back when you have money."

The owner of the gambling house carefully explained the rules one by one, and took out a contract sheet, under which there was a line of small words, which was almost invisible to the naked eye.

When the dice cup in the hands of the gambling house owner stopped: "Please bet." ”

I saw that Yelutab's smoke was pressed down without hesitation.

The blue baby quickly heard the boss step on something at the moment he put it down, and the dice in the dice cup turned into other points.

This is the dark box operation of the gambling house, so that it can easily attract the gamblers who go to go, and the gamblers win or lose money are the bosses of the gambling houses operating in secret.

"The princess is very sorry, it is small." When the boss opened the dice, the tone of great pity.

The blue baby saw it clearly, and then looked at Jin Lingluo, who nodded at the blue baby.

In fact, Blue Baby's plan is to let them lose here all the time first, and when they lose all their finances, it will be easy to deal with.

The eldest princess of Khitan opened her mouth very unconvinced: "Come again, this princess has never lost." ”

Immediately, the owner of the gambling house rolled his eyes, and then shook the dice cup, which was still the operation of the party.

After a few times in a row, the eldest princess has been betting down, which shows that this eldest princess is gambling for the first time, and often people who come into contact with gambling for the first time will not be able to resist the temptation, and they still have strong self-esteem.

Ten times in a row, only one bet was right, and almost all of the Khitan princess's money was lost.

At this time, the blue baby spoke: "Princess, it's okay, there are still us, it's really not good, there is still a contract, then we will go back and help you get some." ”

When the Khitan princess heard that the blue baby was so sincere, she sat down again with relief, and the blue baby looked at the boss and signaled.

"Princess, why don't we play a bigger game like this, just this once, if you win, I will return all the money you lost, and if you lose, you will give me double the amount of money."

The owner of the gambling house understood what Blue Baby meant, and told him that the conditions offered were indeed very attractive.

"Okay, one at a time." The eldest princess of Khitan felt that she could still get the money to pay back if she lost anyway, so she simply agreed.

"Princess, you can bet."

The owner of the gambling house pressed the dice cup on the table, so as to make a mysterious opening.

Yelutab was depressed and looked at the blue baby, who just looked at her and smiled without words.

"Great." In the end, Yelutab relented and suppressed the last bit of money.

"The princess is very sorry, it is small."

The owner of the gambling house opened the dice cup and said in a very regretful tone, but his face was full of smiles, and then he shouted loudly: "Guys, there is a life today." ”

Immediately the men downstairs and the group of the big boss ran up, with axes and sticks in their hands, and rushed into the room.

"Since you have lost money, you have to follow the rules of our gambling house, which has already been written in the contract."

At this time, the owner of the gambling house picked up the contract signed by Princess Fangcai, put it in front of the eldest princess of Khitan, pointed to the small line, and said slowly.

"You are cheating, you can't just arrest me, I am the eldest princess of Khitan."

Several people pressed down the Khitan man and tied him with ropes, and Lan Baobao and Jin Lingluo also pretended to be tied up by the guys from these gambling houses, and took them out with sacks around their heads.

When the Khitan princess herself was locked in a room, the group took off the sack from Yelutab's cigarette butts.

On the Blue Baby's side, after separating from the Khitans, the rope was loosened, and the sack on his head was also removed.

"Your Majesty, you have really suffered."

Helian Jinrong looked at Jin Lingluo's concerned mouth.

"As long as the Khitan conspiracy can be discovered, it is much better than fighting between the two armies and displacing those people."

Jin Lingluo tidied up his clothes and replied calmly.

"Baby, how are you?"

Jin Lingluo came to Lan Baobao's side, pulled the green silk on Lan Baobao's forehead behind Lan Baobao's ear, and asked in a soft tone.

The blue baby was fine, and looked at Jin Lingluo with a smile.

At this time, the blue baby and his party rushed to the room next to the room where the Khitan princess was kept.

There is a small opening in the middle of the two rooms, which was originally used for ventilation, but I didn't expect it to come in handy, and what was said next door was clearly heard here.

"Say if you are really a Khitan princess, if you don't tell the truth here, we will sell you to the mountain bandits, where there are many people to guard, at that time, you will not think of it for the rest of your life."

The one who speaks is the big boss, and it is most appropriate for him to scare people.

The black tiger on the side also had a hideous face, staring at Yelutab Yan viciously on the side, and she trembled when she saw it.

But this woman was a little fierce, even though her body kept trembling, she still stubbornly closed her mouth and didn't say a word.

"Big brother, I see that this woman looks good, I don't know if there is a beauty under this veil."

The Black Tiger said as he stepped forward to tear off the veil of Yelutab's cigarette.

"Don't come here!" Yelutabu Yan shouted loudly and kept shrinking back, but he was still torn off the veil by the black tiger.

For a moment, the whole room was silent, and there was a beautiful woman under the veil, an ugly woman with a black birthmark on her face, her eyes were still beautiful, but her face was not satisfactory.

"In this case, it can only be sold cheaply to mountain bandits."

The faint opening of the big boss.

Seeing that Yelu Tabu Yan really believed it, he thought that he was going to be sold into the deep mountains, so he cried and said: "I am really the princess of Khitan, if you sell me into the mountains, my father will definitely send troops to attack Yanguo without the trace of this princess, and you should not think about it at that time." ”

At this time, although his body was trembling, his tone was full of pride, and then he spoke: "If you let me go, I will have my father and the king send you money, and that way is better, and I think you should distinguish it." ”

"It turns out that the princess of Khitan looks like this, no wonder no one dares to marry, haha."

The only person in charge of the big boss heard a joke and laughed.

"I am really a Khitan princess, and this jade pendant is proof of this."

As he spoke, Yelutab Yan leaned sideways, and the black tiger stepped forward to take off the jade pendant and handed it to the big boss.

"Then what is the purpose of your coming to Yanguo?"

The big boss then asked.

I saw that Yelu Tabu Yan hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that this person was powerful, he timidly opened his mouth: "This is our Khitan state affairs, and I can't talk to you about it." ”

Then the big boss asked many times, but there was no favorable news from the mouth of this Khitan eldest princess, presumably this princess really didn't know that she was a pawn used by his father.

"Lock this princess here first, send more people to watch, and don't let the slightest difference be made."

Jin Lingluo opened his mouth coldly, and then left the next room with the blue baby.

And those Khitan guards are also trained, no matter how badly they beat, they just don't say why they came here.

However, Jin Lingluo and Lan Baobao had already guessed seven or eight points in their hearts.

Since this princess is ugly, the greatest use value is to send Yanguo to frame the emperor, and when the time comes, as soon as this princess dies, the king of Khitan has a reason to raise troops to harass the border pass.

If Lan Baobao and Jin Lingluo guessed correctly, this Khitan king is really ruthless, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, this ruthless king actually used his own children as an introduction.

"Your Majesty, what would you do if you were the king of the Khitan?"

Lan Baobao knew that asking such a question would make the emperor a little annoyed, but Lan Baobao wanted to know if he and Jin Lingluo's future children grew up, would Jin Lingluo also regard the child as a bargaining chip to rule the country.

Jin Lingluo lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, he couldn't answer the question asked by Lan Baobao exactly, and finally replied with an extremely firm look in his eyes: "It's not a wise move to use your own child as a pawn if you are incompetent, and our Dayan Kingdom will never allow such a thing to happen." ”

The affairs between countries are not convenient for the blue baby to explain.

"Your Majesty, the concubines understand." The blue baby knew that the emperor was relieved of himself, so he was in line with this way.

Although the world has changed, but now, Jin Lingluo has such a sentence to the blue baby, the blue baby is much more relieved, the blue baby thinks, now in the harem, the queen's strength should not be underestimated, if one day the child is born, the queen Yan Ruoxue will definitely be embarrassed.

If there is the emperor's blessing, presumably the child's life in the palace will be better in the future.

Now Jin Lingluo still decided to lock them up here first, this place is a little distance from the capital in the mountains and forests, and he will return to the palace in a few days and deal with it.

He returned to the capital with the blue baby and continued to investigate the girl's disappearance.

When I returned to the capital, I happened to meet Jing Yan, Jing Yan recently said that the emperor went out of the palace to patrol but didn't know where to go, but I didn't expect to be in the capital.

"The Emperor...... Jin Gongzi hasn't seen him for a long time. ”

Jing Yan didn't react at first, almost called a mistake, this Jin Lingluo and Lan Baobao's outfit reminded Jing Yan of a scene in Yuyao County.

"Master Jing, why are you hanging out here at this hour, there is no business to do?" Jin Lingluo didn't like it, and when the blue baby saw Jing Yan, he asked calmly.

When Blue Baby saw Jing Yan appearing on the street at this time, he must be collecting information, but this was what Blue Baby hinted at asking Jing Yan to do at that time.

"Today's affairs are naturally completed, and the official can come out to hang out, although this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but personal freedom is still there." Jing Yan knew that the emperor couldn't do anything to him now, so he blurted out.

Among the civil and military officials of this Manchu Dynasty, only Jing Yan dared the emperor to speak in such a tone, Jin Lingluo felt that he was appointed as a historian and recorded the emperor's words and deeds, which really fueled Jing Yan's arrogance, but he couldn't say anything outside this palace.

Lan Baobao also looked at Jing Yan in surprise, but he didn't expect that after knowing the identity of the emperor, Jing Yan actually spoke to the emperor in the same tone as in Yuyao County, which was really worrying.

"Jin Gongzi, the official recently found out a little bit of the spearhead, it was about the stone stele, the stele was placed in the field by a few farmers, and those people were asked to take it out recently, and the official found out, but the matter was ......."

Jing Yan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Forgive you for your innocence, and say yes."

Jin Lingluo saw that Jing Yan stopped halfway through his words, so he signaled to continue.

"But it's the family members under the abbot, and those peasant officials have been found, and now they are being placed in a safe place."

In fact, Jing Yan wanted to enter the palace to talk to the emperor about this matter recently, but when he heard that the emperor had left the palace, he tried to walk around the capital, and it turned out that he really met the emperor.

Lan Baobao felt that Jing Yan was more secure to deal with it like this, so that the emperor would not have thought that she was still in contact with Jing Yan, in fact, Lan Baobao didn't talk to Jing Yan about helping, and Jing Yan would also help her investigate these unfavorable things outside the palace.

"Then take us to the farmer now."

Jin Lingluo opened his mouth majestically.

Jing Yan was a little embarrassed and whispered in the emperor's ear: "The minister placed those people in the Qinglou, is it inappropriate for the princess and the concubine to follow." ”

Jin Lingluo thought for a moment with some hesitation, if he didn't take Lan Bao and Qingyu, Jin Lingluo didn't worry about the safety of Lan Bao and Qingyu, if he brought it, it was just that Lan Bao hadn't been there, so let's go together.

What Jing Yan said, Lan Baobao heard everything without falling, and thought that it was nothing, so he took Jin Lingluo's hand on the side, and held it tighter, wanting to signal Jin Lingluo that he would follow Jin Lingluo wherever he went.

Then the group rushed to the Qinglou that Jing Yan said, but as soon as they arrived at the door of the Qinglou, they saw that the people from the official office had surrounded the place.

At this time, Jing Yan's family ran over, bent over and panted, and only said when the breath was smooth: "The master is not good, those farmers ate poisonous food at noon today and died." ”

"What? He's dead? Do you know who poisoned it? ”

Jing Yan was not calm now, and shouted angrily at the family.

"Not yet, the people from the official office have already come, and none of the people in the Qinglou are allowed to go out, they have all been called out, and now they are looking for the murderer."

The family told the matter one by one, and his eyes revealed that this anxiety was not only his anxiety, but also Jing Yan on the side, the emperor was by his side, but the person who he went to find with great effort to provide clues was killed, and he was also responsible.

"Jin Rong, you go inside and see what's going on."

Jin Lingluo calmly ordered Helian Jinrong on the side to go in and ask, looked at Jing Yan, who lowered his head and stopped talking, and then said: "Now that the incident has happened, what's the use of bowing your head, it's better to think about who might have done it?" ”
