The two talked and laughed all the way.

As the evening approached, the heat faded and the flow of people increased significantly.

Childe is like a fish in water in the city, whether it is a big shop owner or a small stall vendor, almost all of them are recognized. He was laughing and generous, and it was a pleasure to go shopping with him. Yinxia was infected by his smile, and involuntarily laughed at passers-by, temporarily forgetting the heavy responsibility that weighed on her heart like a boulder.

As she walked, Yinxia gradually felt that something was wrong, as long as she looked at something for a long time, Childe Ye would not hesitate to buy it and give it to her. After a few years of traveling in the rivers and lakes, she is no longer the princess who didn't know the price of firewood and rice, and he doesn't seem to be rich, how can he be so expensive.

Hearing her dissuade, Gongzi Ye smiled leisurely, "Money is a thing, you care about the way to use it." The way to take it is divided into three products: upper, middle and lower. Do you know what the three products are?"

"What are the three grades?" Yinxia asked curiously.

Childe said in a low voice: "Zi said: The sergeant uses money and enjoys it without permission, the sergeant uses money and saves it carefully, and the corporal uses money and compares it with dazzling." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The meaning of this sentence is that the learned people are good at taking care of their money and spending money for the enjoyment of life; ordinary people are careful to spend money and save it for a rainy day; and the uneducated people use money as a capital to show off, spending money just to compare themselves with others. ”

Yinxia savored it and nodded, "That makes sense." ”

Of course, the words of the sages are all wise sayings. ”

"Which sage is this from?" Yinxia humbly asked.

"Laozi, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Mozi, Sun Liezi, Han Feizi, Gongsun, Longzi...... Have you heard of these sages?"

"I've heard of them, but I haven't read them closely. Yinxia felt guilty. When the book is used, she hates it less, and her father has sent people to buy back a large number of classics, but she has never read them well.

Childe stroked his forehead at night, "This wise saying comes from the famous Master Childe. ”

Yinxia asked studiously, "Is Master Gongzi the Gongsun Longzi you just mentioned?"

"Of course not. Childe spread the folding fan reservedly at night, "The so-called master of Childe is this Childe." ”

"Okay, you're lying to me again!" Yinxia was stunned for a moment, and punched him with an annoyed smile.

Childe smiled while resisting at night: "Therefore, this son can be called a superior person." Isn't it a great pleasure in life to spend other people's money and travel with beautiful women?"

Yinxia snorted and was amused by him. Thinking of the origin of this money, she said with a straight face: "Why can't you be more serious when you talk and do things? ”

"As long as you don't get me wrong, I'll do it. Childe looked at her with a grin, and there were small pieces of floating light flashing in his eyes.

Yinxia's heart suddenly moved: with his knowledge, how could there be such unbearable rumors? Could it be that there is something else hidden?

She was contemplating, and her hands were suddenly held tightly, but she saw a pair of moist eyes of Childe Ye being facing her at close range.

"If you look at me so affectionately, I'm going to like you. Childe Ye grabbed her hand and touched it lightly on her lips, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you misunderstand me, as long as you can be my woman for a few days." ”

Time stood still for a few seconds.

A scream sounded from the street, and Childe hugged his feet and cried out in pain again and again.

She was wrong! This person is by nature like this, and he always speaks seriously.

Looking at the lively street scene, she suddenly sighed. When I first arrived in this city, I felt that all the people in this city were cunning, hypocritical, cold and ruthless. But all the way to the night with Childe, this city shows another side of her unknown. It was as if a host had opened his heart to her and warmly entertained her as a guest.

The food here is abundant, the commerce is prosperous, and everyone has a vague temperament, which is completely different from the comfort of the northern tribes who live in the wind and frost. Thinking of this, her heart seemed to be stirred by something. In the middle of the crowd, she slowed down.

"Why are you unhappy?" Childe felt strange at night, and slowly stopped.

Yinxia shook her head, pointed out of the city and asked, "What's the name of that tallest mountain?"

Looking at her hand, Childe Ye replied, "That mountain is called Guming Mountain, and it is also famous in the local area. Don't you want to go shopping and want to go hiking?"

Yinxia shook her head again, "It's just that that mountain is a bit similar to the mountain in my hometown. It looked so desolate that it stood alone in the mountains, like a flock of chickens. ”

It turned out to be homesick. The corners of Childe's mouth curled slightly imperceptibly, and then he lowered his face and said, "You say that, do you don't like this city, or do you hate being with me?"

"Neither. You're good, and so is the city. Yinxia lowered her head and stroked the flowers in her hand, "I wonder how good it would be if my people could live as happily and comfortably as the people in this city." ”

That's what she was thinking! A strange color flashed in Childe's eyes at night, and he really looked down on her.

Putting away his laughter, he asked, "Are your people unhappy?"

"Although our lives are very different from here, there have been carefree days. Yinxia raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and whispered, "The eagle flies in the sky, the pheasant scurries in the artemisia, the cat swims in the hall, and the mouse rests in the hole." Every man has his place, and he will not live!"

Childe's eyes lit up at night, and he clapped his hands and praised: "What a 'each has his place, won't he live!' won my heart." Who said that?"

"My father, the King. Before the Tang Emperor sent troops, he sent an envoy to Gaochang, and my father's answer to the envoy was this sentence. Yinxia's gaze slowly scanned the entire street, "My father used to go to Chang'an with the queen and the crown prince to worship, but I didn't participate because I was young. But if you want to come to Chang'an City, it should be more prosperous than this city. After a pause, she suddenly raised her head and forced Gongzi Ye to look, "But even if you are the eagles in the sky and we are the pheasants on the ground, but each of us lives in our own way, isn't it also very fast?

Gongzi was stunned by her question, and muttered for a moment before saying: "The trend of the world will be together for a long time." After many years of war, people are united in their minds, and the unification of the world is what everyone wants. ”

"That's just what you Tang Emperor thinks. Yinxia looked disdainful, "If your great emperor wants to leave a name in history and achieve immortal hegemony, he must expand his territory, and my small country of Gaochang is destined to become the territory of your Tang Dynasty." ”

She looked at the crowd on the street in a daze, "But there is a cloud in your poem: 'The sun rises, the sun rests, the well is dug and the well is drunk, the field is eaten, what is Dili to me!'

Childe was rarely silent in the night. After a while, he said slowly: "The sunrise works, the sun rests, and the mind is content between heaven and earth, which is very beautiful and desirable, but this is just the idea of ordinary people." ”

Yinxia snorted, "Then you also admit that it is your emperor's idea to destroy my Gaochang." ”

"You said that the unification of the world is the idea of the emperor, and you are not wrong. "But that's not just the king's idea, it's the way of the country." Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things, without the Tao how can all things come from, and without the country, how can we talk about the people? For the country, when there is enough strength to protect the country and benefit the people. Therefore, the unification of the world is not only the idea of the Tang emperor, but also the idea of the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Phew, full of truth!" Yinxia disdained.

"The great truth is also the truth. Childe Ye Zhengse said, "To be honest, it's only your father's refuge in the Turks." The Turkic soldiers were strong and strong, burning, killing and looting, which was really a big trouble for the Tang Dynasty. Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the Turks have continued to invade our Middle Earth, causing untold suffering to the people. At that time, due to the lack of troops, the emperor had pretended to be a vassal to the Turks, which has always been a royal shame. Therefore, both from the royal point of view and for the people of Middle-earth, the Turkic plague must be eliminated as soon as possible. And your father first declared himself a vassal to our court, and then took refuge in the Turks, which is a royal taboo, and in the final analysis, it is your father's treachery that is the first. ”

"What treachery?" Yinxia retorted angrily, "You also said just now, 'There is no country to talk about the people', and the king should think about the interests of the country first. My father, because he admired the culture of Middle-earth very much, went to Chang'an to meet your Heavenly Khan in person, and promised to be a vassal. But the Turks are rampant in the Western Regions, no one can stop them, and the people and horses are too strong than my Gaochang, and my father thinks that the Tang Dynasty can't quench his thirst, and the return to the Turks is just to ensure the safety of a country. ”

Childe Ye persuaded in a harmonious voice: "It can be seen that the Turkic troubles must be eliminated. Now that the Tang Dynasty is conquering the Turks, the Turks will inevitably be broken soon. Now that you are also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, why force you and me. ”

"But my people are not as happy as you real Tang people. Yinxia pursed the corners of her mouth.

"Triangle plum represents enthusiasm and perseverance. Childe Ye slowly stroked the flower in her hand, "If you really think about your clan, instead of envying others, it is better to change it yourself." ”

"It's easy to say. It would be easier said than done to make a city as vibrant as this one. Yinxia hung her head. Now it is extremely difficult for her to even pay tribute, let alone govern the city.

"What if it's not easy? It's not fun to do it too easily. You probably don't know that the city you envy has also been rebuilt from the ruins of the war. ”

"But ......"

"But what is it!" Childe Ye interrupted, "This kind of sad face after thinking about it is really not like you!"

Yinxia glared back, "It's not like you at all when you speak in such a serious and solemn manner!"

The two of them suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

Looking at the smiling face close at hand, Yinxia was slightly distracted.

Although this person always speaks and acts with a bit of recklessness, from the time she first met, she had an inexplicable trust in him. It's just that no matter how cynical his face is, there is a certain insistence faintly flashing in the depths of his eyes. And this persistence, she had seen in the eyes of another person......

"What, do you feel good about me?" A sly light flashed in Childe's eyes at night, "Although I don't have a way to make your entire clan happy for the time being, I have a way to make one of your clans happy first." ”

"What's the solution?" asked Yinxia hurriedly.

Childe's eyebrows bent, "As long as you marry to Jiangnan, won't at least one of your clan be able to live a good life?"

"How can I abandon my people!" Yinxia waved his hand away and said unhappily, "Besides, I already have someone I like." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Childe's eyes sank. No wonder she didn't fake her color to Wen Si, it turned out that she already had someone else in her heart.

"Anyway, don't tell me these gossips in the future. Yinxia's eyes flickered, and she looked sideways.

"Could it be that he doesn't like you?" Childe lifted her chin and studied her expression, "...... Or maybe he doesn't know you like him?"

"What's the matter!" Yinxia turned her head abruptly and shouted at him in annoyance.

"Oh, I got it. Childe smiled strangely, "I can't imagine that you seem to be bold and reckless, and there are times when you don't dare to tell the truth." ”

Yinxia hung her head and said nothing, clenching the bouquet fiercely. Yes, she didn't dare...... When she realized that she liked him, she was no longer the princess of Gaochang. Why did she keep him? Besides, she still had the responsibility of a clan. No matter how willful she is, she can't abandon her people. As long as he is willing to stay with him, it is already the best......

Her hand was pierced by a flower thorn, and she didn't know it. Childe Ye frowned, "You don't know yet, this kind of flower you like, because its name contains 'triangle', and it also means 'empathy and don't love'." Another implicit phrase is: 'The absence of true love is a sorrow.' I advise you, since you haven't started yet, it's better to empathize and don't fall in love before you are sad. ”

Yinxia snorted coldly, threw the flower branch in her hand at him, turned around and left.

Sure enough, this is the reaction. Childe Ye lowered his head and chuckled, playing with the flower branches. His eyes suddenly flashed with emotion, and after a pause, he chased after her again.

"I promise to help you!" Childe Ye held up the flower branch and stopped in front of Yinxia.

"What?" Yinxia clenched her fists with a snort, if he dared to say one more annoying word, I would reward him with a five-finger red mark!

"I promise you, I will do my best to help you pay off the tribute. Childe finished his words with a smile on the night.

"What are you talking about!" Yinxia looked up suddenly.

"I love the phrase 'eagles fly in the sky, pheasants fly in the ...... of Artemisia'. So decided to help you pay off the tribute. Childe repeated it seriously.

"But didn't you say it just now......" Yinxia didn't turn her mind for a while.

"Telling the truth is what a righteous man and a gentleman do, and I have never been a righteous gentleman. Besides, I think the kind of 'Dili is what I have to say' life is quite desirable. Childe pursed her lips and looked at her with a smile. Usually open his teeth and claws, and he is really stupid and cute when he is in a daze.

"Do you really want to help me?" Yinxia suddenly put her anger aside.

Gongzi nodded solemnly, pulled out a fan to cover his mouth and whispered to her: "I have figured out a way to enter the Wen family's secret vault to withdraw silver, do you want to hear it?"

Yinxia's expression suddenly froze, "You really have a way?"

"Of course. Childe Ye showed full confidence, folding the fan and swinging it to the side, "However, I have one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

The corners of Childe's mouth were slightly hooked, "Be my woman for ten days...... Of course, it's just verbal!" Seeing that Yinxia was angry, he quickly added the next sentence.

"What do you mean by just verbal?" Yinxia frowned.

Childe Ye smiled slightly, "It's very simple, when I call you 'my woman' in front of everyone, you have to agree gently, don't get angry, and don't beat me." As long as you do that, I'll help you get the silver you need. ”

"That's all?" Yinxia breathed a sigh of relief, still hesitating.

"That's all. And it's limited to 10 days from now. It is estimated that in ten days you will have returned with the money. ”

Childe smiled and stretched out a hand to her, "How about it, I'm not asking too much, right?"

"Deal!" Yinxia slammed his palm, and a clear determination appeared in his eyes. Compared with the tribute silver that is related to the safety of the whole clan, personal honor and disgrace are really insignificant.

"Let's go, find a place, and I'll tell you more. Childe handed the flower back to her, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had promised to help her get the money, and she was so easy to deceive her!
