Zuo Xingyan was shopping lively, but the second prince and Huang Zhifu were not so smooth.

"What? Haven't made it until now? The second prince's voice was a little angry.

"What do they eat? Does the Yue Kingdom keep these idlers? With a wave of his hand, the second prince swept down the teacup on the desk.

Huang Zhifu knelt down in fear: "Your Highness is angry, it's not that the craftsmen of my Yue Kingdom are incompetent, it is that this armor is really precise, we don't have the metal that can match, and the craftsmen have wasted a lot of energy, and they have not smelted the right hardness." ”

"Looks like they're going to have to do it."

The second prince sat on a mahogany chair, and Huang Zhifu knelt down, not daring to look at his face.

"You'll tell them about it tomorrow, and I'll do it."

"Yes." Huang Zhifu turned around and exited the study.

……

Happy times are always short-lived, Jing Beihan and the others came back from shopping and met Ah Yan who came to the inn to find them.

Song Yunfei and Ah Yan had a good relationship, and stepped forward to hold his shoulders intimately.

"Where have you been these days? I can't see you. ”

Ah Yan smiled embarrassedly: "I've been busy with the caravan these days, so I'm really embarrassed that I don't have time to accompany you." Today I invite you to dinner and make amends to you. ”

"Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, you've taken good care of us." Zuo Xingyan explained with a smile.

Ah Yan owes Sun Feng a favor, not theirs.

Since they came to Yueguo, as long as Ah Yan was present, they had not been asked to pay, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation were all very meticulous.

Zuo Xingyan took out the gift they had just chosen for Ah Yan on the street, it was a very delicate short knife, the whole body was shining with silver, and it was also inlaid with a brilliant ruby, which shone in the sunlight.

"This is our gift to you, thank you for taking care of you during this time."

Zuo Xingyan put the short knife in Ah Yan's hand, and the distance between the two made Zuo Xingyan easily smell Ah Yan's body.

The smell is so familiar, as if I have smelled it somewhere.

"Thank you, Miss Zuo, General Sun has saved my life, he entrusted me to take care of you, these are what I should do."

"I'll take it if I send you, what do you do with so much nonsense."

Song Yunfei stuffed the short knife into Ah Yan's arms, and Ah Yan accepted the gift embarrassedly.

At this time, a person dressed as a small servant walked in from the door of the inn and asked, "How many people are from Quanzhou?" ”

"Exactly, may I ask who you are?" Jing Beihan stood up.

"I'm the little guy of the Huang Governor's Mansion, and the prefect invites a few people to come to the house tomorrow." After saying that, Xiao Si turned around and left.

"It seems that there is hope for our supplies." Zuo Xingyan said excitedly.

The next day, several of them rushed to the government office early.

In the palace, there is no longer the figure of the second prince, only the prefect Huang is waiting there.

"How about Governor Huang, has it been developed according to the drawings?"

Zuo Xingyan was a little gloating, because she was very confident, and Yue Guo would not be able to make this armor.

"The girl laughed, your armor is so precise, we really haven't made it."

"His Royal Highness said that he agreed to your request, and this is the trade documents and materials you need, which will be sent to the inn in a few days, and you will take them away after you count them."

"The condition is that two thousand pieces of such armor will be sent to Yue at the end of the year."

After speaking, Governor Huang handed over the trade documents and material details.

Zuo Xingyan took the paperwork, looked at the various terms on it carefully, and nodded after a while.

"Two thousand pieces is not enough, at most a thousand."

Although coal mines were discovered in Quanzhou, they had limited manpower.

Armor of such precision can only be worked slowly, and at the end of the year, a maximum of 1,000 pieces can be handed over to them.

"Okay, Your Highness said a thousand pieces." Governor Huang looked at everyone.

"Thank you Governor Huang, then we will wait to count the supplies."

After discussing some details of the delivery, Zuo Xingyan and the others left the mansion.

On the way back, she had been thinking about something, and Song Yunfei and the others were also very happy because of the supplies, and they didn't notice Zuo Xingyan's expression.

Back at the inn, Zuo Xingyan pulled Jing Beihan into his room.

"What's wrong with Yan'er?"

"I found that this Ah Yan is not simple." Zuo Xingyan's expression was a little heavy.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that Zuo Xingyan's expression didn't look like he was joking, Jing Beihan also became serious.

"Yesterday, when I gave Ah Yan a short knife, I smelled a special smell on him."

"What's wrong with the smell?"

"That smell, the same smell as the smell of incense in the house when we met the second prince...... It seems to be exactly the same! ”

When he was in the mansion, Zuo Xingyan didn't care about incense, he just thought it smelled good, and he hadn't smelled it elsewhere.

But when I got close to Ah Yan yesterday, I smelled exactly the same!

But that day, Ah Yan didn't go to the government with them, how could there be the same smell on his body?

All kinds of signs indicate that Ah Yan may be the second prince!

"Do you suspect that Ah Yan is related to the second prince?"

Jing Beihan understood the meaning of Zuo Xingyan's words.

"Not only is it related, I even suspect that Ah Yan is the second prince!"

"How is it possible, Ah Yan looks like an ordinary businessman."

Jing Beihan couldn't believe it.

"But don't you think we're going too well this time? The Yue Kingdom also follows the Shinong industry and commerce, the merchant is the last, how capable is the Ah Yan family is the old friend of the prefect of the royal capital? Combined with this incense incident, I think he is very likely to be the second prince. ”

"But what is his purpose in approaching us?"

Jing Beihan couldn't figure it out, they just came from Quanzhou to "beg for a living".

One has no money, and the other is illegal in Vietnam.

What can the second prince plan for them?

"I don't know. But we can listen to his corner. ”

Zuo Xingyan's eyes are unpredictable, no matter what Ah Yan's purpose is, she has to find out.

……

In the evening, Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan jumped onto the roof of the inn.

Zuo Xingyan didn't pay attention to the steps under her feet, and stepped on the roof tiles, she was like a frightened rabbit, so she could only be careful about her movements again.

The two of them lurked above Ah Yan's room, carefully lifting a tile.

The candlelight in the room was not bright, but two people could still be seen in the room.

One is Ah Yan, and the other is the Huang Governor they saw during the day.

Huang Zhifu was standing beside Ah Yan at this time, looking very respectful.

"Your Highness, the supplies have been prepared, just wait for a few days for them to set off back to Quanzhou and count the goods."

After speaking, Governor Huang handed the list of supplies to Ah Yan.

"Okay, Hongu knows."

"The lower official has something unclear, I don't know if I can ask His Highness." Governor Huang continued.

Ah Yan didn't speak, it was all a tacit acquiescence.

"Why does Your Highness help them so much?"
