Chapter 184. Restless speculation
Ye Huan hung his head and said in chagrin like a defeated rooster: "You're right, I didn't find a person I had met once in such a small range and could still remember the smell of him." How is that possible? It stands to reason that such a thing could not have happened to me anyway, but it did. Don't you think it's funny? Feed! When have I ever missed? ”
Chu Yunfei's heart almost blossomed, is this the legendary horse stumbling? Ye Huan, who has always prided himself as a master of tracking, will actually have a disadvantageous time. But he knows very well that Ye Huan still has a bit of a childish heart, and if he hits him at this time, he is afraid that it will make him lose his fighting spirit. He patted Ye Huan's shoulder with a smile, and said repeatedly, "What's the big deal?" If I had agreed to your actions last night, I would have found his footing. After all, a lot of things can change overnight. Aren't we also very productive now? At the very least, we know that he is no ordinary person, and he knows how to hide his whereabouts. Ordinary people only pay attention to small details such as their own footprints, but this person can even hide the smell, which shows that he is scheming. Next time, there is absolutely no way he will slip away again. Now you have more important things to do. ”
Without waiting for Ye Huan to ask more, Chu Yunfei whispered a few words in his ear. But these words shocked Ye Huan, he was stunned for a long time before he shook his head and said, "Are you really sure that you are going to see King Xiang?" He has always disliked meeting outsiders, and he hates uninvited people above all, and I am afraid that he will ......"
"That's why I'm dragging you with me? Good friends, you have to share difficulties. Now what we want to track down is the pearl of the night, and it is a treasure related to the fortune of the country, and if you are not careful, you may cause a big mess. Chu Yunfei ignored Ye Huan's subsequent words and led him towards King Xiang's mansion.
Chu Yunfei didn't know much about that batch of treasures. He knew very well that with his own strength, it would be absolutely impossible to find the treasure map so quickly. But King Xiang is different, although he is also an idle prince, but he has a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, presumably he may have a lot of news about treasures. More importantly, Chu Yunfei has always had a doubt in his heart, and he has to take this opportunity to confirm whether his conjecture is true or false.
The front of Xiangwang's mansion was deserted, and only a few family members were sitting under the porch talking. Seeing Chu Yunfei coming over, one of the young men in Tsing Yi came over and made a gesture, and said continuously: "This must be the son of Chu, right?" The prince of our family said that the prince will come to visit us today, so we can't wait for us no matter what. Please come with me, our prince is waiting for you? ”
"Oh?" Chu Yunfei didn't want his expression to look too surprised, but this was indeed too unexpected for him, could it be that he had really met an immortal? When will King Xiang be able to pinch it? But then he just nodded and didn't say much.
When he saw King Xiang sitting in the main hall waiting for his arrival, and had already prepared his favorite food, he couldn't help but be surprised: King Xiang knew himself better than he imagined, including his own preferences! What kind of person would be able to notice such inconspicuous details?
"Surprised? Do you have surprise written on your face? I've heard that you've always had a calm temperament, and your behavior at the last meeting seemed to confirm my suspicions. King Xiang's face had a thoughtful expression.
Chu Yunfei immediately showed a big smile, and said in a loud voice: "How come? I just didn't expect the prince to know everything about my actions, so I was flattered. In that case, then the prince should be clear about my intentions, right? I don't know what the prince thinks? ”
A rare smile appeared on King Xiang's face, and he waved his hand: "Actually, we could have continued to discuss this issue, but now I have more important things to discuss with you, so this king will not go around with you." Doesn't it right that the king knows that you have set out to track down that so-called treasure and have found some useful clues? I may have what you want here, but I don't know...... Can I help you. ”
Speaking of this, King Xiang carefully took out a delicate box from behind him, and after opening it, he saw a piece of jade lying all over the body. He carefully took it out of it, held it up in front of Chu Yunfei, and sighed leisurely: "I've heard it a long time ago, you have some knowledge of antiques. Then let's take a look at such a thing, where did it come from, and which dynasty did it work from? ”
Holding it on the palm of his hand, Chu Yunfei only felt that there seemed to be an indescribable sense of warmth in the coldness, which was indeed carved from a piece of fine jade. It's just that it doesn't seem to be carved on it, and a good piece of jade is wasted in vain. Just as he was about to speak, the light from outside made him realize that there seemed to be a blooming flower in the jade. The color of the jade, coupled with the appearance of the flowers, he couldn't help but whisper: "Green jade! How can it be? ”
"It's a green stone, could it be that it's also called green jade?" Ye Huan interjected on the side, a little curious and wanted to come over, but because of the identity of King Xiang, he finally chose to be silent.
Chu Yunfei waved his hand, "I'm talking about the pattern in this jade." This jade comes from the legendary Dushan, so it is also called Duyu. Compared with Khotanese jade, which is currently sought after by the Chinese people, Dushan jade is relatively good and cheap. This jade comes in green, white, purple, yellow, etc., and some variegated colors, but in general the color is bright, the texture is delicate, and it looks very shiny. The average jade is opaque, translucent to transparent, and is the best among them. Judging from the piece of jade I am holding in my hand, it should be the best of the green Dushan jade. What's even more ingenious is that the skilled craftsmen took advantage of the luster of the jade and carved a peony in the jade with a clever technique. This peony is a treasure among peony flowers, that is, it is called 'bean green' by the world, but there are few plants in the world. Isn't that precious? I just don't know...... Where did the prince get such a thing? In my opinion, this is definitely not something that I am looking for. ”
"Good eyesight! Good eyesight! Carefully taking the piece of jade, carefully putting it in the box and covering it, King Xiang continued to praise and said: "In the past, I only heard the world praise you for your erudition, but when I see you today, I know that your name is worthy of it." You're right, it's really not something I'm looking for. It came from the hands of the Tang people. ”
