Chapter 45: Guarding and Zheng Dan's Box

The old shopkeeper, who was over fifty years old, was stunned by this gaze, and his sweat came down. Then he looked around, but he didn't dare to look at him.

Ji Hengran hooked his lips, took off his cloak, and his subordinates behind him immediately stepped forward to take it and put it on the crook of his arm.

Inside, too, was dressed in a coarse cloth as black as ink.

To be honest, this outfit of this destined person really doesn't look like he can afford this necklace. But since the proprietor had orders, the shopkeeper Dong still smiled and invited him to sit in the private room upstairs.

Ji Hengran looked at him coldly, and only said: "I'm just waiting for a stick of incense, whether your master comes or not, I have to leave." ”

The shopkeeper Dong was stunned for a moment, and his surprise flashed.

The southern palace doesn't give face, who is it? Since then, he has not dared to slack off, and sent someone to reply.

As everyone knows, this second wave of people has not yet reached the halfway point, and when they see Nangong coming from afar.

Nangong Shen speculated that he was almost here in the past few days, and he had been waiting for news from here since he got up in the morning, and when he got the letter, he immediately came over non-stop, just to see him.

When he arrived, he threw the reins to the shopkeeper Dong, and before he could even say a word, he took three steps and two steps to the second floor.

At that time, Ji Hengran was hesitating between "guarding" and "Zheng Dan box".

According to legend, "Guard" is an object in ancient legends, and it is said to be a burial object in the "proud tomb" where the heart of Pangu is buried, and if the legend is true, I am afraid that it has been sealed for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and its value can be seen.

As for Zheng Dan's box.

The dressing box used by Zheng Dan is made from the roots of the immortal trees that bloom once in a thousand years, which are not corrupted or defeated, and smell strange.

It's also very good.

Ji Hengran's fingers gently touched the double silk pattern on it, recalling some boudoir whispers in the past, and there seemed to be tenderness in his eyes.

As soon as Nangong Shen stepped on the stairs, he noticed it, restrained the tenderness in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he had already become Ji Hengran, the general of Zhennan.

Nangong Shen pushed the door in, panting unabashedly, thinking that he had never been so embarrassed, but in front of Ji Hengran, he didn't feel ashamed at all, he sat in front of Ji Hengran, looking at him with a smile.

"It's really not easy to see General Zhennan." He stroked his chest, and gave himself a good breath, a few strands of hair had fallen down, which showed the eagerness of the way forward, "Since His Majesty gave me the marriage, I have counted the days, and I bet that the second brother will definitely pass through the city, and sure enough." I don't know if the second brother hasn't seen him for a long time, so I miss my brother, right? ”

Nangong Shen is a maternal brother of the king of Nanjing Chen, a young genius, good at business, only 16 years old has a family property, Zhanglingtai River south of the waterway, known as the king of Xiaoshen, the god of wealth.

Ji Hengran is the general of Zhennan, Zhennan Zhennan, and the town guards the peace and stability of the southern border.

More than ten years ago, he was ordered by the emperor to come to Hecheng, while ensuring the stability of the border, and on the other hand, monitoring the movements of King Chen in the south for the imperial city, so he was very familiar with the palace in the south.

However, with his understanding of Nangong Shen, he guessed that most of the "Little Shen King" and "Living God of Wealth" were also the names he gave himself.

"King Xiao Shen has got a rare treasure, I can't wait to make the world know, since I was ordered to help my eldest brother prepare a dowry, I naturally will not disappoint King Xiao Shen's good intentions." Ji Hengran was smiling, but his pale face made this smile look a little weird.

Nangong Shen is a teenager after all, and his original face was determined and calm, but he was also a little shaken at this time. He looked away, tapping the folding fan lightly, thinking about how to complete the task assigned by King Chen well without offending the people in front of him.

He is smart and yin, but he is different from Ji Hengran's murderous temperament, and the idle atmosphere of the idle prince of the faction seems to be more calm.

Also, he is ambitious as a young man, and he is full of spirit at a young age, which is naturally different from Ji Hengran, who has been bloodied on the battlefield for many years and crawled out of the pile of dead people.

"This 'guard' has been sealed in the dust of the proud tomb for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is still brilliant and dazzling when it is unearthed, this thing, I am afraid that an incorruptible military general like Second Brother Ji can't ......" Nangong Shen Shi Ran spoke.

"Xiao Shen Wang don't use those nonsense words to fool me," Ji Hengran pursed his lips, there was nothing he could do about this young and old child, he was in a hurry, so he had to get straight to the point: "You just say a price." ”

The disgusted young man on the opposite side rolled his eyes, weighed for a moment, and made a bid: "170,000 taels." ”

Ji Hengran had already measured the value of this thing in his heart, and when he heard this number, he was quite puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "170,000 taels?" How did you come up with such a number? ”

Nangong pondered for a moment, he said that he was not allowed to prevaricate him by saying those nonsense words, and when he spoke again, he was really sincere.

I put away the children who were squirming, and I don't look so mature.

"Second Brother Ji, you know, I have always regarded you as a brother. So what was originally sold for 300,000 taels naturally can't be at this price for you, I have an account, and I'll tell you about it, if the second brother thinks it's wrong, he can refute me at any time. ”

After he asked, he quietly waited for Ji Hengran's response, and saw him nod before continuing.

The young man's voice was loud, and Ji Hengran listened carefully.

"Ah Chang is sixteen years old this year, and fourteen years ago, when the second brother came to Hecheng to take office, he was only sixteen years old. At that time, Ah Chang was still the head of the horn, and the second brother had killed all sides in the border to protect the safety of the southern side, so that Ah Chang and the people of the southern border and even the entire Chao country could have a peaceful sleep, and the people of the southern border would never forget it. Today, minus 30,000 taels, can be regarded as a retribution of the rank of the people of the southern border. He is always proud of himself, and rarely calls himself in small characters, and when facing Ji Hengran, he always calls himself Ah Chang, which shows his respect.

Ji Hengran looked at him and didn't interrupt him, but he didn't echo it.

Nangong Shen then said: "Six years ago, the second brother and the second sister-in-law fought against Suqiang for several months to defend the southern border, so that the second sister-in-law died in the Yanshan Mountain, and there was no body to be seen. Now the second brother is entering Beijing to marry a wife for the eldest brother, although it is not the second brother's continuation...... But my brother and I were deeply grateful, so we reduced the love of another 30,000 people. ”

When Ji Hengran heard the word continuation, he squinted, and his gaze was so dazzling that Nangong Shen almost forgot what he was going to say.

"There are also 70,000 taels, which I gave to my second brother with a private subsidy, which is considered a little bit of my heart, and I can't ask the second brother to pay all the family property in order to buy a dowry. The second brother's family and the Son of Heaven are in-laws, and they don't have to come to the south, if they encounter something that needs to be dealt with up and down, and there is no gold and silver to keep around, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. After all, the second brother entered Beijing this time, and he didn't know when he would return. ”

His last sentence was particularly meaningful.

When can I return to Beijing this time?

Ji Hengran naturally knew why the emperor ordered him to enter Beijing.

In the name of marrying a brother, in fact, it is just that the power center in the imperial city is idle and panicked, and the grass and trees are all soldiers all day long, for fear that someone will take away that power with two hearts.
