No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 361
The hall suddenly fell into a strange silence, and everyone's eyes seemed to fall on Luo Jinyan in an instant.

Kanbula also stared at the young man in front of him who he hated from the first sight.If Luo Jinyan wasn't from the Luo family, maybe he would have killed him when they first met.pity……

Khenpo, who felt extremely regretful because of Luo Jinyan's identity, probably didn't know that if he wasn't the eldest son of the most powerful Furuhe tribe chief in southern Xinjiang, he might not still be able to sit here.

So no matter what your status in this world is, you still can't completely do whatever you want.

The hall was too quiet, but Luo Jinyan's expression remained calm as usual.

His slender fingers flipped the jade pendant over and over again, but his eyes lightly fell on Khenpo's face.

After a long time, Khenpo suddenly burst out laughing.

He said loudly: "It's just a joke, Mr. Luo, why should he take it seriously? As for what the young master said about the leader of the Southern Border alliance...I can't afford it. If this word is spread, it will not be a good thing."

He is not even the head of the Furuhe tribe, so Luo Jinyan directly came to be the leader of the Southern Xinjiang alliance. If this word is passed back to Southern Xinjiang or his brothers, wouldn't it be a trouble for him?
Luo Jinyan said lightly: "I'm just joking, and you don't have to take it seriously."

Khenpo's eyes flickered for a moment, and he raised his hand and waved to a few people from southern Xinjiang at the door.

Those people from Nanjiang looked at each other, then took a few steps back respectfully, and stopped staring at the hall.

Khenpo slowly relaxed his body and leaned back on the beautiful woman sitting next to him, looked at Luo Jin and said: "Okay, the thing is in Mr. Luo's hands, you take the upper hand. You can tell me what price you want. I am on this trip Coming to Dasheng, I don’t want to quarrel with the imperial court, this is the truth.”

Luo Jinyan was noncommittal to his words, and still asked: "What's the use of this?"

Khenpo clicked his tongue and said: "I didn't lie to you just now, this thing is indeed not from the Xiao family, but from my southern border."

"What evidence is there? How come the things in the southern border are in the hands of the Xiao family?" Luo Jinyan asked slowly.

Khenpo glanced at him, and said with a half-smile, "Because...the Xiao family has Southern Xinjiang blood in them."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Jinyan didn't respond, and Luo Yi, who was standing behind Luo Jinyan, was taken aback.

The Xiao family has Southern Xinjiang blood?What nonsense is this Khenpo talking about? !

You know, the Xiao family is a well-known family in Dasheng, the Xiao family is to Yangxin just like the Yao family was to Xinzhou back then.Although the Xiao family has kept a low profile since the last years of Dongling, almost all of them withdrew from the court at the beginning of the founding of Dasheng.But at that time Taifu Su was a disciple of the late Mr. Xueyang, and the Xiao family also had Xueyang Academy, one of the three major academies in Dasheng.

Such a family wished that for generations to marry only with their well-matched family, even the royal clan might not be interested, how could the Xiao family have Southern Xinjiang blood?
"Khenbula." Luo Jinyan looked at Kanbula, and said, "You must know the influence of the Xiao family in Dasheng, slandering them... Even your father can't save you."

Khenpo sneered, as if he didn't care about his words, "Of course I don't dare to lie to Mr. Luo, what good would it do me? If Mr. Luo didn't meddle in other people's business, I would have just taken the things quietly and left Yes. They do have southern Xinjiang blood, but... no one expects them to go back."

"Tell me." Luo Jin said.

Khenpo looked at him with a half-smile and didn't speak. His appearance was not very good-looking, and making such an expression would only make people feel more unwilling to look directly at him.

But he obviously didn't care, his eyes just fell on Luo Jinyan's right hand.

Luo Jinyan said: "If this thing is really from the southern border, it's okay to return it to you. However, I must guarantee that it will not harm Dasheng."

The implication is that if you don't explain the ins and outs of it clearly, don't try to take it away.

Khenpo sighed, and seemed to give up his plan to confront Luo Jinyan.

Anyway, he can't kill Luo Jinyan no matter what, if he grabs it hard, not to mention the possibility of Luo Jinyan destroying the jade pendant in a fit of anger, even if he does, he still has to face the siege and pursuit of the Dasheng court.

It's really not worth it.

After thinking for a moment, Khenpo said: "It's okay to tell you, anyway, it's not a big deal for Nanjiang and Guhebu. The mistress of the Xiao family was the saint of Nanjiang. This jade pendant is hers from the south. Brought out of Xinjiang."

Luo Jinyan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "The mistress of the Xiao family was the mother of Mr. Xueyang. I remember that she is the daughter of the Luohe Huang family. How could she be the saint of Nanjiang? The saint of Nanjiang Can women be non-Southern Xinjiang people? If so, the Xiao family can’t be considered Southern Xinjiang blood, right?”

Khenbu said with a smile: "Naturally, the purest southern Xinjiang woman can only be the saint. That saint is from the Hongshan tribe in southern Xinjiang. It just so happens...my mother is the daughter of the head of the Hongshan tribe. That saint ...is my mother's great-aunt. As for how she

How would I know to be the daughter of your Dasheng family? "

"I will investigate this matter." Luo Jinyan said.

Kampra said: "This jade pendant is a token of the saintess of southern Xinjiang. As long as an unmarried woman in southern Xinjiang gets this jade pendant and goes to the holy land of southern Xinjiang to try it out, she can officially become a saint."

"So, even if you get the jade pendant and fail the test, you can't become a saint?" Luo Jin said.

Kanbula said: "Without this jade pendant, you can't even get in. There have been no saintesses in southern Xinjiang for 100 years."

Luo Jinyan nodded, because he had never heard of such a thing as a saint in southern Xinjiang.It is beneficial to the imperial court that the various ministries in southern Xinjiang are in charge of their own affairs, and no one will obey the other.

Therefore, the imperial court did not want any leader or saint to appear in southern Xinjiang.

"If this thing is really so important, why are you looking for it now?" Luo Jinyan asked.

Khenpo said indifferently: "Not everyone wants another holy woman to appear in southern Xinjiang. There are no less than a hundred tribes in southern Xinjiang, but the holy woman will only come from one of the three major tribes in southern Xinjiang. Who will be happy for the remaining tribes?" What's more, when the saint disappeared suddenly and no one knew her whereabouts, many people thought she must have died in an accident. After that, the Southern Border Alliance broke up, and the tribes attacked each other. Who still has air traffic control? I It was also by accident that I found a note left by the saint from my grandfather's house, and speculated that she came to the Central Plains. It took nearly three years in secret to lock the target on the Xiao family."

While speaking, Khenpo made a gesture to the people outside.

A moment later, a middle-aged man walked up to Luo Jinyan holding an old booklet.

Luo Jinyan stretched out his hand to open it, and Luo Yi reminded behind him: "Master, be careful." People in southern Xinjiang are good at using poison, who knows if they will use any means?
Luo Jin said: "It's okay." He raised his hand and opened the booklet.

This is a very rough and old booklet, and even the paper is far less delicate than the paper written by the people of the Central Plains. It is a unique paper in southern Xinjiang.

The color of the paper is sallow and looks old, but because of the characteristics of this paper, it doesn't look fragile.

The front of the booklet was written in Southern Xinjiang script, and Luo Jinyan was also proficient in Southern Xinjiang script, but he just scanned it roughly.What is recorded in it is just the daily life of some daughters in southern Xinjiang, with some understanding of Gu poison and medicine mixed in.In the second half of the booklet, there began to be immature Central Plains characters. Obviously, the writers were beginners and could not write sentences. There were also a lot of Southern Xinjiang characters mixed in.

Luo Jinyan turned to the last page. It was a woman's reluctance and guilt towards her parents in her hometown, but she could also see her determination.

After that, it's blank.

Luo Jinyan read the book extremely fast, but after a while he closed the booklet and returned it to the middle-aged man.

Kanbula said: "Young Master Luo also saw it. I didn't fake it to deceive you. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, but I hope you can hurry up so that we don't waste our mutual time."

Luo Jinyan said: "If what you said is true, I can give you the jade pendant."

Hearing this, Khenpo's expression eased a bit, and then he heard Luo Jin say: "But not now."

Khenpo's face darkened again, "Are you kidding me?"

Luo Jinyan said: "You have been in Shangyong for so long, so it can be seen that you are not in a hurry for three or five days."

Khenpo took a deep breath and asked, "When can I get the jade pendant? The Holy Land in Southern Xinjiang is only opened in March every year, and I don't have much time. If I miss it, I will have to wait until next year."

Luo Jinyan said: "After the Xiao family left Shangyong."

Kanbula didn't know about Mrs. Xiao's illness, but said a little irritably: "It snowed so heavily suddenly, if they have to wait until the snow melts before leaving, who knows when it will be?" Southern Xinjiang does not snow, But I heard that the Central Plains seems to have snow every year, so people in the Central Plains sometimes don’t go far in winter.

Luo Jinyan stood up and said, "It shouldn't be long, if the Xiao family doesn't die recently. Sorry to bother you today, please leave."

Seeing Luo Jinyan turn around and go out, Khenpo said behind him, "Wait!"

"What advice do you have?" Luo Jinyan asked with his head tilted.

Khenpo said coldly: "The person Xiao Hong wants to kill is his elder brother."

Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly, but the expression on his face was not surprised.

Khenpo said with some disdain: "I heard that in the Central Plains, only the eldest son can inherit the family business. Xiao Hong seems to be very dissatisfied with his elder brother. When I found it, he wanted a poison that can kill people invisible without color or taste."

Luo Jinyan said: "You lied to him, the Gu worm you gave him was just a failed semi-finished product, and it is impossible to kill people invisible without color or taste."

Khenpo looked at Luo Jinyan, and said: "I heard that there are poison masters in the Regent's Palace, and they really have some skills. But you guessed one thing wrong, I gave him the medicine a long time ago, those little bugs are not mine and his The content of the transaction can only be regarded as an addition."

Luo Jinyan frowned slightly, and fixed his eyes on Khenpo.

Khenpo laughed and said, "He didn't trust the medicine I gave him, or he didn't dare to poison his elder brother himself. I told him that if he didn't dare, someone from me could do it for him. It's definitely easier than doing it himself. But he refused, who knows what he thinks? I had no choice but to tell him that if those few bugs matured, the poison produced would not only be colorless and tasteless, but also last for a long time, even an imperial doctor would not be able to detect it , it will only happen once at least three months later, and no one will suspect him at that time. And those few bugs have the effect of detoxifying all kinds of poisons. With these, why can't he do it? Compared with that Something that works quickly, and he's obviously more interested in that. It's just that these little gadgets have a bad weakness."

Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, and Khenpo said, "It's very expensive to raise. If Mr. Luo is interested, you might as well check the account of Mr. Xiao San. It should be quite interesting." He seemed to be very proud of it, and laughed out loud .

Luo Jinyan looked indifferent, nodded and said: "Thank you, I will. There is another question, since you are in a hurry, why do you want to trick him into raising Gu poison?"

Khenpo laughed and said, "Mr. Luo, will you obediently wait for others to come and trade with you?"

After a little thought, Luo Jinyan understood that from the moment Xiao Hong agreed to make a deal with Kanbula, the direction of the subsequent things was actually out of his control.

If Xiao Hong hadn't fallen into Luo Jinyan's hands, he should have been threatened or controlled by Khenpo by now.

Luo Jinyan didn't have anything to ask, so he said to Khenpo, "Thank you for clarifying your doubts. In addition... someone told me that your Gu worm will not be able to grow well, and it will die in a few days at most. The effect should not be as good as you hoped for." Degree."

Khenpo's laughter stopped, and Luo Jinyan continued: "Even so, I don't want to see unwarranted poisoning incidents in the Central Plains. Khenpo, no matter what ambition you have, you'd better try to ensure that you can come back alive." To southern Xinjiang. I guess, at least for now, your ambition is not in the Central Plains."

With a cold face, Khenpo said in a deep voice, "Thank you Mr. Luo for reminding me, I will remember."

"Farewell." Luo Jinyan nodded slightly, turned around and walked out.

Kanbula watched Luo Jinyan's master and servant go out with a cold expression, and the middle-aged man standing outside the door came in with some unwillingness: "Young master, let them go like this?"

Khenpo gave him a cold look, "Otherwise what else?"

Seeing the dissatisfaction on the middle-aged man's face, Khenpo said: "We are here to retrieve the things, not to provoke the Dasheng people. A Luo Jinyan is easy to deal with, but behind him is the Luo family and the Prince Regent's Palace And the whole Dasheng."

The middle-aged man nodded yes, but he couldn't help but said: "This Luo is so arrogant because we can't do anything to him!"

Khenpo was not angry because of this, but narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Who isn't?"

He couldn't take action against Luo Jinyan because of his identity, and Luo Jinyan and Xie Yan also didn't do anything against him because of his identity, otherwise the dignified son of the Luo family wouldn't have to visit alone.

Everyone knows each other well to maintain such a balance.

Dasheng doesn't want to cause chaos in southern Xinjiang right now, and it's not good for them to face Dasheng's troops now.

Khenpo lowered his eyes, restraining the hostility in his eyes.

Not right now, but... someday...
