Meng Yiliang looked upright and bowed to Xiao Yi with his hands clasped in fists.

Xiao Yi sat on the horse, looked down at him, and said with a smile: "Oh, what the general means..."

Meng Yiliang said hurriedly: "The general knows that the prince is busy with official duties and has many affairs in southern Xinjiang to take care of, so he will have no time to pay attention to this small country of Nanliang." Seeing that Xiao Yi did not look displeased, Meng Yiliang felt relieved and gushed. He kept persuading, "In my opinion, the prince can find a reliable and loyal person to help him take care of Southern Liang. Sir, there are many old people in our southern Xinjiang army who have followed the old prince since his time." My subordinates are loyal and loyal, and this can be demonstrated every day!"

Xiao Yi dusted his sleeves casually, with a smile on his face, and asked: "General Meng, if this prince hands over Nanliang to the general, what will the general do?"

Hearing this, Meng Yiliang perked up and thought: It seems that the prince has listened to what he said.

Meng Yiliang pretended to be calm and replied: "Master, I will kill those who think there is a riot and use violence to counter violence. As the saying goes, in troubled times, use heavy codes, nothing more than this!"

The more Meng Yiliang talked, the more excited he became. He talked eloquently, talking about re-establishing household registration and re-checking the population in order to increase the head tax for military funding... Finally, he said righteously: "The people of Nanliang are just a group of barbarians. Sir, there is no need to reason with them. Anyone who disobeys and makes trouble will be killed. In this way, the people will naturally be at peace. Your Majesty, your foundation is Southern Xinjiang. As for this Nanliang territory, you don’t need to worry too much."

Xiao Yi chuckled, looked at him indifferently, and said: "General Meng, you don't even know what I need, so you want to take charge of Nanliang's political affairs on behalf of Marquis An Yi? Ha, you need to be self-aware. General Meng, you are old and it is time to enjoy your old age."

After saying that, Xiao Yi ignored Meng Yiliang's reaction and walked away with Nangong Yue.

Meng Yiliang stood frozen on the spot, looking at the leaving figures of Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, a thick layer of haze rising in his muddy old eyes.

Three years ago, the prince returned to southern Xinjiang on the emperor's order. At that time, among the group of old people who had followed the old prince, Tian He was the first to surrender to the prince. Most of them, including him, held the With a wait-and-see attitude, I want to see what the prince is capable of first.

The result was one wrong step and one wrong step after another.

Just because he was so late, he never showed his face in front of the Crown Prince, and no good thing happened to him or to the Meng family.

He originally thought that it would be fine if he was not as good as Tian He. After all, he had underestimated the prince at the beginning, which resulted in him missing a move.

However, there may not be no chance of saving the situation. He took the initiative to ask Ying to follow Tian He to Nanliang this time, thinking that this would be a good opportunity. As the Crown Prince, he certainly cannot stay in Nanliang for a long time, and Tian He will return to Southern Xinjiang sooner or later. As long as he can be entrusted with the important task of managing Nanliang by the Crown Prince, then the Meng family will be the local emperor of Nanliang in the future, and they will be cute. Descendants of grace...

Unexpectedly, it is not enough for the prince to have Tian He under his command, but an An Yihou appears out of nowhere!

Who is this An Yihou? He is just a lackey of the emperor. He only knows how to make lies and confuse the public with his lies!

Why does the prince trust that An Yihou so much? Could it be that the prince was bewitched by that An Yihou? !

Thinking about it, Meng Yiliang lowered his eyes slightly.

The prince is not a person who cares about the old prince's affection. The only solution now is to find a way to let the prince know what he is capable of.

Speaking of which, a man recently claimed to be the largest horse dealer in Southern Liang and was willing to supply horses to the Southern Xinjiang Army. If he could get a large number of good horses cheaply, the prince would definitely be impressed.

Furthermore, An Yihou’s Youqi camp seems to be even more short of horses, so maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity...

Meng Yiliang was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice that Nangong Yue, who was dozens of feet away in front of him, looked back at him, then lowered his voice and asked: "Ayi, this person is..."

Xiao Yi didn't know much about the veterans who followed his grandfather, so he simply said a few words: "Meng Yiliang, he followed his grandfather after he came to southern Xinjiang, and he fought with his grandfather a few times. He won battles and achieved some military exploits..."

Back then, Meng Yiliang achieved military exploits, which is why he has enjoyed the glory of these years. As for whether he can maintain it, it depends on the Meng family themselves. I just listened to Meng Yiliang’s nonsense. It seems that this General Meng is really old and his brain is confused.

Xiao Yi said nonchalantly: "After Meng Yiliang was defeated in Nanliang, he took the initiative to find Tian He and came to Nanliang together."

Recalling what Meng Yiliang said just now, Nangong Yue sighed thoughtfully: "Ayi, it seems that his plans are not small." As the saying goes, the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. It's a pity that the world often cannot understand such a simple truth.

Xiao Yi winked at her and said with a smile: "Ayue, Xiaobai can handle such a trivial matter."

The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth twitched, and she pretended to sigh and said: "The official is really pitiful..."

When encountering a guy like Xiao Yi, who is either a close friend or a bad friend, is Guan Yubai lucky or Guan Yubai is unlucky?

"Can't we just bring some delicious food back to Xiaobai?" Xiao Yi said without any guilt.

As they spoke, the two rode their horses forward leisurely, and soon they left the Nanliang Palace far behind...

They came out to play today, so they deliberately slowed down their horses. Nangong Yue looked around curiously while driving the horses.

When she first arrived yesterday, she was too tired to take a good look at Wuli City.

Compared with Shenghu City where people come and go, Wuli City is not so lively and noisy, but at a glance, the streets are clean and tidy, and the people coming and going have peaceful expressions and peaceful eyes. The feeling of living a peaceful life is similar to that of Shenghu City. The impetuousness faintly revealed in Shenghu City is completely different.

After experiencing the devastation of the war, this town has gradually begun to regain its vitality.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi walked around and spent more than half an hour before leaving the city.

Xiao Yi only roughly knew that the jade market was in the western suburbs a few miles away from Wuli City, but he had never been there, so he asked for directions while walking.

Gradually, we saw people flowing in the same direction.

When they arrived at a crowded place, they got off their horses and led the horses leisurely along with the crowds.

The so-called jade market consists of dozens of pavilions built with bamboo, wood, or oilcloth in a huge open space. The jade merchants set up stalls in the pavilions, selling all kinds of jade in the stalls. Ornaments, unpolished jade, and just piles of weathered stones.

What’s interesting is that most of the people walking in the jade market are not looking at jade ornaments or jade stones, but ordinary-looking stones. They look at and whisper one by one, and from time to time they come forward to knock on them, with their eyes There was a strange look on his expression.

Seeing Nangong Yue’s expression of curiosity, Xiao Yi explained: “That’s the wool of jade...”

Xiao Yi briefly introduced gambling stones to Nangong Yue. Those woolen materials were sold by weight, and the bigger they were, the more expensive they were. The so-called stone gambling is to pick a stone and cut it open. It will either contain a precious emerald gemstone or nothing at all. With the knife and the sword falling, you can become rich overnight or lose your fortune.

The most lively place in the entire jade market is probably the market center. There are several top-quality jade stones that have been sold in recent days, attracting a crowd of spectators to come and watch, all making guesses. I don’t know which piece of jade will be the jade king in this competition.

All we can do is wait until today's application time passes, and all the jade fairs held in the past three days will be put together to determine the "Jade King".

The surrounding Nanliang people were chattering away, but Nangong Yue couldn't understand either. She could only listen to Xiao Yi's narration, and she couldn't help but be very interested.

The two of them walked around leisurely while talking.

From time to time, someone selected the wool and asked the boss to cut the stone. In just over half an hour, Nangong Yue saw several people cutting out the jade. Although the quality was average, it was still very interesting to look at.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but be a little eager to try.

Xiao Yi understood her thoughts best and said, "Let's pick a few pieces to play with."

Nangong Yue responded with a smile.

The two of them just came here to have fun, neither intending to speculate nor become famous, and the Zhennan Palace was not short of a few pieces of jade, so Nangong Yue came to a stall in a fun mood. I randomly picked five or six pieces of wool and asked the stall owner to help me cut the stone.

As soon as the boss saw Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi, he guessed that they were novices in stone gambling. He told the ugly story first, collected the money first, and said something like "there are no regrets when you open a stone". .

As soon as I saw that someone was trying to open a stone, many good people gathered around and asked who the owner of the wool was.

When he saw that the other party was a young woman, a middle-aged man said enviously in Nanliang dialect: "I heard that a woman just came here and picked out several stones in a row. She can produce jade. Couldn't it be this one?"

"Really? His eyesight and luck are extraordinary!" an old man next to him said in disbelief.

Whether you are an expert or a novice in stone gambling, you all know that this rough material cannot be cut. No one can guarantee what is inside the stone and whether it can produce jade. 60% depends on knowledge and experience, and the remaining 40% is complete. It depends on luck. Even experts with decades of experience may not be able to guarantee that the stone they choose will contain jade.

The onlookers talked enthusiastically, and Xiao Yi relayed everything to Nangong Yue.

As he spoke, the first stone was cut by the old stone cutter, and there were boos all around. It was just a piece of waste stone. But most people still had the patience to continue looking down. Who would have known that the next three or four pieces were all waste stones, and only the last piece revealed a piece of jade not much bigger than a finger, and the quality was average.

They spent dozens of taels of silver on the wool, but they only got this small piece of jade that was not even worth two taels of silver. It was like losing all their money.

When those onlookers saw that no good jade material was found, they immediately dispersed and walked away in twos and threes, their spirits waning.

Who would have thought that Nangong Yue was still smiling, holding the piece of jade in her hand and playing with it a few times, pointing to the wavy lines on it and saying: "Ayi, look, the patterns on this jade are quite interesting. , if it is polished into a pen holder along these lines, it should look pretty good."

Xiao Yi took advantage of the situation and took hold of Nangong Yue's wrist, and looked at the jade stone with her hand. Against the backdrop of the jade-like skin, he suddenly felt that the jade stone looked much more pleasing to his eyes, and he nodded with a smile. Said: "When I get back, I will polish it for you."

Nangong Yue cast a sidelong glance at this deceitful man who seized every opportunity to take advantage, and directly gave him the piece of jade.

Although he only got a small piece of jade, Nangong Yue became more interested and said: "Let's pick another stone."

"Yes, madam." Xiao Yi hurriedly followed her like a servant.

People were coming and going in the jade market, and many stalls were crowded with people. The two of them randomly picked a stall with fewer people.

Nangong Yue first scanned the table where jade was placed. Seeing that there was no good jade, she looked at the pile of stones aside, randomly picked a brown-red stone, and then imitated Xiao Yi's instructions in Nanliang dialect. The old stall owner opened the stone.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a clear and lively female voice coming from the right: "Wait a minute, madam."

Is it Dayu dialect? !

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise. She followed the sound and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Nanliang girl standing about ten feet away looking at her. She was wearing a green half-sleeved dress with a hair Her black hair was simply styled into a shiny black braid, and there were a few green flowers on her temples, which looked as fresh and lovely as the first blooming flowers.

The girl was followed by dozens of people from Nanliang who were watching the excitement, including men, women, old and young, from all walks of life, making a bustling noise.

The girl glanced at Xiao Yi one more time with stunning eyes, then immediately withdrew her gaze and continued to say to Nangong Yue: "Madam, why don't you let me pick a better stone for you? I promise you can do it. Good jade will come out."

The girl spoke Dayu dialect, which the people of Nanliang who followed her could not understand. However, the jade merchants in the jade market traveled all over the country, not to mention most of their jade in Nanliang. In fact, they are all sold to Dayu through various channels. Many people know some superficial Dayu dialect, so they translate the conversation between the two to the people around them.

When the onlookers heard this, they all exploded and said:

"Blessed is this lady!"

"Yes, this girl from Lisaluo has a good eye for picking out stones."

“The pieces of jade with the best water color and texture in the jade market today were all picked out by Miss Lisaluo. Maybe today’s Jade King will be selected from them.”

"..."

Everyone was so excited when they talked, they were even more excited than the Lisa Luo girl herself.

Nangong Yue smiled lightly and refused directly: "Girl, no need." Then, she once again ordered the old stall owner to find someone to cut the stone in blunt Nanliang dialect.

Lishaluo was stunned, a little surprised, but he immediately regained his composure and said: "Madam, please listen to me. To be honest, the stone my lady chose is indeed jade, but The quality is not good." Lest Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi didn't believe it, she explained, "Madam, your piece of wool is made of red leather. Although it looks delicate, round and very beautiful on the outside, it is just flashy. When cut into pieces, it is just flashy. The jade inside the back is often of average quality."

While she was speaking, many knowledgeable people behind her nodded frequently, and some even praised this girl for being so young, but for being a connoisseur of stone and jade.

Lisa Luo straightened her chest, with a look of confidence in her eyes, and persuaded with a smile: "Madam, I think this stone of yours has an interesting shape, like a red fruit, and I want to buy it back to please my sister. That’s why I want to trade stones with my wife.”

She glanced at the pile of stones in the stall and made a gesture. Immediately, a servant offered a fist-sized white stone, "Madam, I just picked this from the stall in front. . Even if this stone cannot produce a dragon stone seed, it should be able to produce an ice seed. As compensation for letting my wife part with her, I will give that stone to my wife."

Lisa Luo spoke well and well, and most of the people around him tried to persuade Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi with sarcasm or Dayu words. After all, this was a good thing that dropped money from the sky. !

Listening to those irrelevant people chattering there, Xiao Yi felt upset and said in a cold tone: "Don't open the stone for me yet!"

His eyebrows were picturesque, and when he smiled, he looked like a young man from a wealthy family. When he frowned and spoke coldly, his temperament suddenly changed, and he was full of vigor, making people dare not underestimate him. Na Lizara was shocked when he saw it, and also Don't dare to say more.

The old stall owner glanced at Lisaluo quickly and immediately ordered the stone cutter to cut the stone.

The people around were all sighing, feeling that the young master and young lady from Dayu Lai really didn’t know how to appreciate them. Some even came forward and asked the Lisaluo girl if she could give them the stone in her hand. ……

The stone-opening master opened the stone with two or three strokes. Sure enough, only a small piece of jade the size of a longan was revealed.

There were boos all around.

However, what surprised these onlookers was that Nangong Yue did not show the slightest trace of disappointment or regret on her face. Instead, she played with the small jade stone with great interest and said to Xiao Yi: "Ayi, you said take it. Is it better to make a pendant or a pair of earrings?"

Xiao Yi responded without any principle: "You take your time and think about it. When you think about it, you draw the picture and I will do it for you."

Nangong Yue responded with a smile and gave the jade gift to Xiao Yi.

Lisha Luo stared at the two of them for a moment, her eyes flashed, and then she sighed nonchalantly: "Madam doesn't want to give up my love, but I still give this stone to Madam, just treat it as a predestined relationship and keep it as a souvenir! ”

She said in a sassy and upright manner, with a gesture that said "business cannot be done without justice", and attracted many admiring looks from all around.

After saying that, she left the piece of white wool behind and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Nangong Yue: "Girl, please stay."

Lishaluo's eyes lit up slightly and he looked towards Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Li Shaluo with a smile, but there was a hint of sharpness in her tone: "If you have any intentions, please speak up."

Lisha Luo's pupils shrank, and although she tried to stay calm, she couldn't hide the slight look of surprise on her face.

Nangong Yue continued: "The girl knew that we were from Dayu as soon as she arrived, and she even used the Dayu language specifically. If we say we met by chance, it would be too much of a coincidence."

Although the appearance of Dayu people is slightly different from that of Nanliang people, there are also many people from small countries and small tribes in Dayu who look the same as Dayu people, and this girl just decided that they are Dayu people!

Lisha Luo's expression changed again, her mind whirled, and she made a decisive decision.

She respectfully blessed her body with great courtesy, and readily admitted: "Li Shaluo, the daughter of Nanlianggu's family, has met the young master and his wife."

Guna’s house? !

Nangong Yue knew almost nothing about the matter with Nanliang. Of course, she didn’t know where the ancient family came from, but the people around her knew.

The Guna family was the largest royal merchant in Southern Liang. Before the fall of Nanliang, apart from the royal family of Nanliang, the Guna family was the richest family in the entire Southern Liang.

Children of the Guna family, both male and female, have the opportunity to inherit the family business. Lisaluo has been smart since she was a child, so her father planned to find a son-in-law for her to stay at home.

But no one ever thought that Nanliang would be subjugated.

Although their Gu Na family was not implicated in the subjugation of Nanliang, they no longer had the glory of the past. If this continues, they may gradually decline in less than ten years.

How willing is Lisa Luo? She is now one of the three candidates for the head of the family. If she wants to stand out from her two brothers, she must do something at this time.

Not long ago, when Xiao Yi was inquiring about the location of the jade market on the road, Lisaluo got the news and hurried over. First, he built momentum for himself, and then specially arranged this chance encounter, with the purpose of hoping that he could be with the prince. Show your face.

For example, just now, if the Crown Prince is willing to accept his kindness and accept the piece of wool, when the jade treasure is found in the stone, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will naturally be deeply impressed by him.

Once she can catch up with the prince, she will have a chance to regain the glory of the Gu Na family.

Then the identity of the next generation head of the Guna family must be hers.

But I didn’t expect that the Crown Princess would react like this, rendering her original careful plan useless!
