Chapter 693: Xizhou Jade
chased all the way to the gate of Jing Qiong's mansion, Jing Qiong couldn't run anymore, squatting on the ground panting, holding the snow lotus in his arms and refusing to let go. Zong Xin and his party had already caught up, and they watched him run desperately behind him, running for most of Yizhou City, and finally stopped.
Jing Qiong kept panting and couldn't even say half a sentence. Although Zong Xin and his party have also followed him for so long, the gap in skill is too big, and they are not tired at all, they are just curious why he is running, so they have been following behind.
Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "What is this grandson running? I just said that he doesn't have the quality to be a khan, we just want to get our things back, what is he afraid of?"
Tianya said: "Could it be that we are afraid that we will rob him of his snow lotus." There are so many snow lotuses in our country, and they are not inferior to these few plants, not to mention that these snow lotuses have been exchanged for eighteen Uighur beauties, even if he wants to return them, we won't do it. ”
Zong Xin nodded and said, "My Zong Xin is full of promises, of course it is impossible to snatch these snow lotuses." The reason why he ran away should not be because he did something sorry for us, he was afraid that we would find out, so he ran desperately. But they've been together for the past few days, and he hasn't had a chance to make small moves. ”
Hearing them speak, Jing Qiong also just reacted, they chased themselves not for Xuelian, but for their luggage. If they had said it earlier, they wouldn't have been tired like this, but the skills of this group of people are really high, and after running behind them for so long, their faces are not red and they don't panting, and sure enough, their skills are too poor, and they still need to practice well.
Jing Qiong said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just afraid that you will snatch Snow Lotus." I also completely forgot about the luggage...... Anyway, it's all home, come in and eat something, and it took half a day to walk back from Xiheigou, and it's troublesome for you to go to the inn at this time. ”
"That makes sense, then we're welcome. Zong Xin directly pushed open the door and shouted, "Where's the housekeeper, quickly prepare the best wine and food, and feed these wolf cubs." Where are all the people dead? Get out of here. ”
Zongxin's self-familiar and shameless character didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and he was more powerful than the owner of this family. But Jing Qiong didn't want to care about it at this time, she just wanted to sit for a while, take a few more breaths, and it was not too late to enter the house after panting.
The others followed behind and ordered food at Jingqiong's Mansion very naturally. There is Zongxin taking the lead, and they do not regard themselves as outsiders.
The subordinates did not dare to say anything, but did as they were told. They feel as if their owner is afraid of this group of people, maybe the owner owes someone else's money, or not necessarily. So serve well, the master will not be unhappy, anyway, he is sitting at the door, and if there is any dissatisfaction, he can say it directly.
After eating and drinking, Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin took their wives back to the room to sleep, and the first, second, third and fourth took Zheng Ziming out to consume. There is really no way, after eating too much of this kind of big tonic thing like Snow Lotus, they just want to find a place to vent, and they take the money to find a place to spend.
The rest of Tianya didn't know what to do, and practiced in the courtyard by himself. This age is the time when his skills are improving the fastest, and Tianya doesn't want to waste any time.
Zong Xin and his entourage stayed in Jingqiong Mansion for several days, except for going back to eat and sleep every day, the rest of the time was naturally to visit the scenery of Yizhou. Although it is a re-walk of the Silk Road, Zongxin and his entourage are not in the slightest hurry, in their eyes this is a long-distance travel, every place to taste the local food, visit the beautiful scenery, enjoy life.
Jing Qiong had already left with Snow Lotus, and the Khan was not in Yizhou, but in Tingzhou, a little far from Yizhou, passing through Xizhou on the way, which was the result of years of war between the Uighurs and the Tibetans.
The Uighurs did a very good job in this regard, and they were constantly fighting against the Tibetans, taking advantage of the civil strife in Tibet, constantly exerting pressure on the Tibetans to withdraw their troops, so that the Uighurs could occupy the territory that originally belonged to the Tibetans. Today's Tibet has almost collapsed, back to the era of clans and tribes, only when someone reunites these scattered clans, otherwise Tibet will never have a life.
The Uighurs had grown stronger, and even if the Tibetans were to reunite, they might not dare to attack the Uighurs. Moreover, after many years of operation, most of the people in Yizhou, Xizhou, and Tingzhou are now Uighurs.
The next destination of Zongxin and his entourage is Gaochang in Xizhou, Gaochang City is very far away from Yizhou City, hundreds of miles away. But the next destination of the Silk Road is there, and it is necessary to start from Gaochang in Xizhou to reach Tingzhou, so Jingqiong will have to go for a long time.
After playing in Yizhou for several days, the customs and daily necessities here made Zongxin and his party curious, but they didn't plan to stay here for a long time, so they continued to travel west after preparing everything.
Starting from the West Gate of Yizhou, the road is still covered with yellow sand and gravel, and in some places it is only slightly better than in the desert. In addition to the sand, there are some stones that have been attacked by feng shui, although they break when touched, but they are much better than just seeing sand.
"Master, have you ever been to Xizhou?"
Zong Xin shook his head and said, "No." ”
Tianya said depressedly: "Have the teachers been to Xizhou?"
"I don't know. ”
"That's weird. Tianya said: "Why are the teachers so excited?"
Tianya and Zongxin turned their heads to stare at the five girls at the same time, and the five girls in the trunk were all looking forward to the trip to Xizhou like crazy, with light in their eyes. Zong Xin also felt very strange about this, that is, he felt that several women had been very happy recently, and they were a little absent-minded, and they didn't know what was going on.
Zong Xin asked curiously, "Demon demon, are there any handsome guys in Xizhou?"
The demon shook his head, it seemed that they were not expecting a handsome guy. What else can excite a woman like this, other than a handsome guy?
Zong Xin said: "Sister Xingyue, is there anything to nourish your beauty in Xizhou?"
Dugu Xingyue also shook her head, it didn't seem that it was for health care.
"Ning An, why are your eyes glowing?"
"No, I'm normal. Ning An could almost see the light in his eyes, this situation could no longer be described as expectation, it was simply longing.
Zong Xin finally looked at Bai Yu, Bai Yu's expression was still very calm, and said in her voice like a silver bell: "Xianggong, you think about my name carefully, as well as Sister Meiyu's name. ”
Two men and a boy suddenly realized that Xizhou produced jade. No wonder this group of women is so excited, they all want to go to Xizhou to buy exquisite jade.
"Oh~ it's jade. Zong Xin said: "Yes, you should go and buy some jade in good condition, and then take it back to the Central Plains to sell." The price of jade in the Central Plains has always been very high, because the Silk Road was cut off, so there are fewer and fewer jade pieces in the Central Plains. But you don't have to look forward to it, didn't I give you two pieces of jade?"
"Just this broken jade?" The demon took out the Red Emperor Hook Jade and said dissatisfiedly: "This broken jade can't be sold at all, I tried to pawn it at the pawnshop, and people said that this thing is not jade at all, and it is not valuable." ”
"You actually want to take the Red Emperor Hook Jade?" Zong Xin looked at the demon in surprise, this was her most valuable thing, she even wanted to be this thing. Isn't there enough money on her?
The demon said: "No, I just want to know how much this jade is worth, but no one else wants a penny." I know it's Red Emperor Hook Jade, which should be very valuable, but it's not jade after all, and this thing is not valuable. Can't I buy some of my favorite jade bracelets, jade rings, and jade necklaces?"
Dugu Xingyue nodded and said, "Yes, Xianggong, although we know that this piece of jade is a good thing, it is also true that it is not valuable." At that time, I went with the demon, and we didn't want a pawnshop for a penny. Now that the family is so rich, of course we have to bring some good things to the street, so as not to embarrass the father-in-law. ”
Ning An said: "Isn't it normal for women to love jade? besides, Sister Demon and Sister Xingyue both have jade that you gave them personally, so of course we and Bai Yu have to buy a little more." However, they will suffer a loss if they buy as much as they want, because they are the Red Emperor Hook Jade and the White Emperor Hook Jade, which are the only two pieces in the world. I've seen with my own eyes two pieces of magatama glow to block the flying golden silkworms for them, and if I can, I'd like to exchange them for them. ”
Zong Xin looked at Bai Yu with a relieved face, only Bai Yu didn't make excuses, sure enough, she was a monk like herself, and she was not interested in these worldly competitions.
Bai Yu said: "Xianggong, don't look at me like this. If you listen to my name, you will know that there is an indissoluble bond between me and Jade. Although I don't like yellow silver jewelry, I am only loyal to jade. In the past, I couldn't afford to buy good jade because I was too poor to fly, but now that I am so rich, of course I have to buy a little more. ”
"Zongxin, you're too picky. You are the richest person today, your wife just bought some jade, look at your face and hair are green......" Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "Meiyu, I am more generous than Zongxin, you can buy it as you like." ”
He Meiyu only smiled awkwardly, because Zhao Kuangyin also used Zongxin's money. He used Zongxin's money to buy things for his wife, and he was more generous than Zongxin...... The shameless person is really powerful, and Zhao Kuangyin has long regarded Zongxin's money as his own.
Zong Xin said: "I've always thought they spend too little, don't you know......? I'm stupid and don't know what women like. I'm such a rich person, I usually should give a little more gifts, but I'm usually too busy to remember, so I'm forgive my wife and adults. ”
"It's okay, you've done well enough. "The demon has never cared about this kind of problem, because Zongxin has indeed done a good enough job. Like what kind of huge ginseng, unicorn blood, Tianshan Snow Lotus, although the things sent by Zong Xin are not very good-looking, they are much more effective than ordinary mortal products. Zongxin is just too busy usually, if he is allowed to live in peace of mind, he will definitely give everyone a lot of gifts every day.
