The warm day is clear, the mountains are green, the shallow stream is clear, the fragrant flowers are verdant, the grass and insects are chirping, and the trees and birds are singing. It is a quiet and elegant empty mountain beauty, but it is a pity that some people ignore the elegance and count the silver in 1510.

"Don't count, at least more than 100,000 taels. Childe lay in the shade of the tree by the stream with his legs crossed in a pleasant face.

"Stop coaxing, you haven't counted. Yinxia didn't raise her head and continued to calculate carefully. Beside her, there were two piles of things distinct, one was silver taels arranged from small to large, and the other was all kinds of jewelry and miscellaneous items.

"How can I not know the number of goods that I have passed through in my hands? Childe twisted a straw stick in his mouth, turned over comfortably, leaned sideways, and looked at her silver with a smile.

After a while, Yinxia finally finished counting, raised her head and said: "There are 16,739 taels of silver, and there are no 100,000 taels at all, where did the extra 80,000 taels of silver in your mouth come from?"

"That's because you didn't get it right. Childe got up lazily at night and picked among the miscellaneous jewelry she had divided, "Well, here are eleven good bracelets, nine necklaces, seven pearl hairpins, six pairs of earrings, which can be folded into 40,000 taels of silver, and other ordinary jewelry and miscellaneous items can also be folded into 5,000 taels of silver." ”

"Even so, there are only more than 60,000 taels, how can there be 100,000 taels. Yinxia was unwilling to theorize.

Gongzi Ye pulled out a small jade pendant engraved with the word "Tang" and said, "This jade pendant should be worth 50,000 taels of silver." ”

"The texture is acceptable, but it is so small that it cannot be worth fifty thousand taels of silver. Yinxia commented seriously. She can't estimate the value of jewelry, but when it comes to jade, she can be regarded as a half-connoisseur. You must know that many good jades in the Central Plains are produced in the Western Regions.

Childe chattered with a straw stick at night, tilted his head and smiled: "You don't understand this." This thing comes from the Tang Sect, and its value is not only in jade. ”

"Even if you're right. Yinxia pushed the silver away and decided to believe him, "But how do you know that the 'Cold Sword' will win this competition?"

Before the battle between Wen Si and Han Jian, Gongzi Yeshen mysteriously hired a few gamblers, and shouted loudly in the audience to open a gambling game, buy the four Gongzi wins, two to one, and bet on the cold sword Xu Shaofeng to win, one to two. As soon as the gambling game opened, it immediately attracted the audience to bet wildly, and many girls directly bet on the jewelry. Last night, Wen Haowu's capture of the world's number one thief was exaggerated and spread by the people he hired. Even a bet of two to one can't stop people's enthusiasm for betting on Wen Si to win. As a result, the contest ended, and almost all of these bets fell into his hands.

"Ha, that's not because my son is talented and intelligent, and nothing can escape my son's clever calculations. Childe sat up straight and smiled like a fox stealing chickens, "By the way, you also bet that Wen Si will win, don't be a bad account for losing to me." ”

"I'm not going to pay my bills. Yinxia glanced at him, "But you have to explain why Han Jian must win?"

Last night, Gongzi Ye proposed to make a bet with her: if Yinxia guessed the result of the martial arts, he would offset the slap he owed him before, and if he didn't guess correctly, he would add ten more days to be his woman. Yinxia had seen Wen Si's swordsmanship and naturally gambled that Wen Si would win, and the cold sword looked the same age as Wen Si, she didn't believe that Han Jian's swordsmanship could be higher than Wen Si, but she didn't think that she lost.

"I won't boast about anything else, if I talk about vision, I call it second, and no one in the world today dares to call it first. Gongzi lay back with his pillow hands leisurely at night, "The people who can be invited by the Wen family to celebrate their birthday are either rich or expensive, since it is a competition between the four sons of the Wen family, how can there be no one who is not cheering for Wen Si, plus those girls who are obsessed with Wen Si, this one is really a comfortable gamble." Alas, this son is really too merciful, and the odds of two to one are too polite, if you get one to one, some people are afraid that they will even take off their clothes. ”

"I'm not asking you about a gambling game, don't talk to me!" Yinxia was annoyed and grabbed him up.

"Okay, okay, you let go, I said it's not enough. Childe covered his ears in pain, "Wen Si and 'Han Jian' are the same age, their names are the same, their talents are almost the same, and their practice is diligent enough, if you want to see the level of the two of them at a glance, then only people with the vision of this son can succeed." In fact, when the sword skills reach the fire of the two of them, the difference between the first line of the realm can distinguish the winner from the loser. The 'Cold Sword' kid does things all by intuition, but Wen Si's sword is a little bit of the young master's fancy, so the outcome is not known. ”

There seems to be some truth. Yinxia thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, "Listen to your tone, the 'Cold Sword' was made by you, could it be that you know him?"

"It's more than awareness. Don't look at that kid in front of people, in fact, he was bullied by me since he was a child. Childe couldn't help but laugh out loud at night, "When I think of him being bullied by me when he was a child, it's really indescribable!hahaha~~"

Hearing his smug laughter, Yinxia silently wiped her sweat and interrupted unceremoniously, "But you missed the 'Cold Sword' injury, but fortunately, Wen Si admitted defeat in the open, otherwise you will lose this gamble." ”

"Hey, I'm not making this decision for the sake of our business, how can you help outsiders speak. Childe Ye glanced at her dissatisfiedly, "Wen Si was defeated by the 'Cold Sword' this time, and according to his temper, he will definitely practice the sword in retreat." He, a young master who is used to being praised by others, falls like this, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover. So let's take the opportunity to attack the Wenfu Secret Vault. ”

"What if we can't get it tonight?" Thinking of Grand Prince Wen's trap beast, Yinxia couldn't help but worry.

"So don't I have a plan? Childe Ye pointed to the things on the ground and said, "You take these to the emergency first, even if it doesn't work tonight, you can let your people take a break." He smiled and praised Yinxia, "Well, I'm safe enough to do things, right? This is a plan that only someone as smart as me can think of." ”

"Yes, you're smart. Yinxia praised him casually, but frowned again, "It's a pity that most of the things here are not cash." ”

"Ha, it's not easy! Childe patted Yinxia on the shoulder, and said, "Follow me, you can rest assured." ".

Under the leadership of Childe, the two hired a carriage and returned to the city.

He easily found a jewelry store and exchanged all the jewelry and miscellaneous items with the Tang Sect jade pendant into silver taels.

He asked the shopkeeper to divide the silver into two parts, one of more than 100,000 taels to be temporarily stored in the store, make an appointment to pick it up for a while, and pack the other 10,000 taels and take it away.

After walking a few steps out of the jewelry store, several people flashed on the side of the road and stopped in front of the two-person car.

The leader was a big man, and he greeted Gongzi Ye: "Ye Shao, I heard that you made a fortune today?"

Childe jumped out of the carriage at night, smiled and said a few words, and asked the man to take the silver box and the carriage away.

The man said a few polite words and led the people away.

Looking at the man's back, Yinxia asked, "Who are they?"

"They're all regular customers of Silver Hook. If it weren't for their help, the gamble just now would have been so hot. ”

"So you're going to give them a penny?"

"Exactly. Having work is the way to fair trade. ”

Yinxia glanced at him and said in her heart: No wonder he said that it was 100,000 taels of silver, and the calculation was clear.

"Is this a gamble?" she suddenly struggled.

Childe Ye smiled: "Ten bets and nine frauds, willing to gamble and lose." How can people who come to Wenfu as guests lack this little bit of silver, but just for fun. ”

"But it's always bad to deceive people......"

"Anyway, I have to be a thief at night, and being a liar first is regarded as practice. ”

......

Small talk all the way.

At his suggestion, Yinxia hired a team of dart masters and returned to the jewelry store to take out the silver taels. The group came to the inn agreed with Sabir in a grand way.

Yinxia summoned Sabir out, handed over the silver cart to him, and instructed: "I will gather the rest of the silver taels as soon as possible, you go back first, and tell Serku not to act rashly." ”

Sabir was speechless with excitement. He didn't have any hope that Yinxia would be able to get the silver back within three days, but he didn't think that she would really succeed. Although the number is not enough, it can always be used to persuade Serku. If there is hope, no one wants to be a horse thief.

His attitude towards Yinxia has changed greatly, and the most beautiful flower in front of him who once flew on the grassland is not only the princess he called when he was honored, but also the real princess who has a responsibility and deeds in his heart.

Looking at Sabir's slightly ashamed smile of joy, Yinxia suddenly felt that even if she became a liar and a thief, it would not be a big deal. She smiled and pointed at Childe Ye and said, "This matter is all his credit. ”

Sabir hurriedly bowed and thanked him. After this incident, his hatred for the Central Plains people faded a lot.

The two sent Sabir out of the city, and when they returned, it was already full of colorful clouds.

Looking at the sky, Yinxia's eyes suddenly glowed, "Do you know? I always thought that my father did not die of illness. ...... At that time, my father admired the Tang Dynasty and called the Tang Emperor a vassal, but the Turks have always been eyeing our people, and the soldiers and horses are too much stronger than our people, so my father weighed it again and again and formed an alliance with it. Although this move was suspected of treachery, his father thought that the land was far away and difficult to attack, and the king of Tang would not send troops to levy it. Unexpectedly, the Tang King / was furious, and he came with heavy troops. The father and king urgently asked the Turks for help, but the Turks did not fight. ...... I still remember that when the Tang Emperor's army came to the city, my father couldn't sleep day and night, couldn't sleep and eat, and saw that he was emaciated in circles. Suddenly, one day came the news that my father had died of a violent illness. I don't believe it's true even so. Even if he was sick, how could his brave father die of illness in the past?...... Now, I suddenly understand my father's mood at that time. Perhaps only the death of his father can calm the anger of the Tang Emperor. After Brother Wang ascended the throne, he could justifiably ask the Tang Emperor to surrender. You have said, 'For the sake of the king, let him promote the good of all peoples, and remove the evil of all peoples.' 'No matter what you Han people say about my father, in my heart, he will always be the king of Gaochang that no one can replace!'

"You're not bad. Childe looked at her with sparkling eyes, "A noble princess who is willing to be a liar and a thief for her people. ”

Looking into the distance, Yinxia raised her head and smiled, "I won't bother about this matter anymore." For the sake of my people, it is not a big deal for me to be a liar and a thief. ”

Childe Ye blinked, leaned into her ear and whispered, "It's not a big deal to be my woman for so many days, why don't we continue for another ten days?"

"Poor mouth, people tell you to be serious. Yinxia smiled annoyedly and knocked him on the head. With him, his skin seems to be much thicker.

"I'm serious, too. Childe covered his head at night with a sad face, "Everything I say is very serious, why is no one willing to believe it?"

"Hmph, who made you ever cheat on me!"

"I'm not lying to you now, what do you want to know, I'll tell you everything, okay?"

......

Along the grass path, the two laughed and walked towards the city gate. At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the woods on the side of the road and said sharply to Childe Ye:

"It's a good thing to have a young night. In order to please a woman, he can disregard his brother's life!"

Seeing the visitor, the always leisurely childe Ye showed a panicked look.
