Chapter 57 Trading
With flying flags, a group of troops ready to go stopped on the road that must pass through Dongling and Xicang.Passers-by saw these soldiers quicken their pace, and the smell of iron and blood made people fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Several gorgeous carriages drove out from the border town. This ostentatious behavior, coupled with the dark green military uniforms around them, immediately made the people blocking the road consciously get out of the way, leaving a large enough distance for the carriages to pass by.

"General, they are here." A soldier of the Fuhu camp kept staring into the distance, and finally saw the person coming, and immediately rushed forward to report.

Han Poli lightly pinched the horse's belly, and looked into the distance with his cold eyes.

Today is the day they go to Xi Cang.Because Han Poli still had things to deal with, he joined the others only the next day.Except for Ning Yan, no one in the army followed, such as Fang Yinhan.Even so, this mission is already large enough.

A suit of light armor is enough to show Han Poli's majesty.Normally, no matter who saw it, they would be terrified, but today, it seems a little funny.

Han Poli was sitting on a tall maroon horse with a baby in his arms.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly approached in the distance, and a group of envoys, although the journey to Xi Cang was a long way away, they had all the ceremonial guards they should have.Driving in the front is Xiao Jue's carriage, the white curtain of the carriage is particularly conspicuous in the whole team.

The soldiers of the Fuhu Camp, who were sent to protect the envoys, walked around the carriage with solemn faces. When they saw Han Poli's figure, there was a touch of excitement in their eyes.

Han Poli is the god in their hearts.But after seeing the person in Han Li's arms, the tall image in his heart was a bit shattered.

Even the faces of the attendants sitting in front of Xiao Jue's car were a little distorted.Hearing the instructions from inside the carriage, the entourage immediately opened Xiao Jue's carriage curtain, and the spacious carriage was revealed in front of Han Poli's eyes.

When Xiao Jue saw this very loving scene for the first time, his eyebrows were obviously raised. "A Li, thank you for your hard work. Young Master Jimo, I heard that you were injured a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?"

Xia Zhi, who was hugged in Han Poli's arms, did not change her face when she heard Xiao Jue's concern, and nodded coldly, "Thank you, Second Prince, for your concern, it's already healed."

"Riding on a horse is a little tiring, why don't you come and ride in the carriage with me. It's still very wide here." Xiao Jue asked the entourage next to him to step down, and opened the curtain himself.Xia Zhi couldn't refuse her warm and jade-like smile.

Although Xia Zhi's face was a little moved, she still sat firmly on the carriage without any movement, "No need..."

However, Han Poli's hand holding Xia Zhi tightened slightly, and he pursed his lips. For some reason, he didn't want to let go of his hand, but he put his arms around Xia Zhi and gently put her down.

Facing Shang Xia Zhi's puzzled eyes, Han Poli explained, "I'm tired of riding here from the barracks. Now you can go and squeeze with the second prince. I'll arrange a carriage for you when you get to the next place." .”

Because they came out of the barracks directly, all of them rode horses and did not have a carriage.If Xiao Jue didn't mention it, Han Poli seemed to have forgotten that Xia Zhi's body was a bit delicate.

Well, there is no rush to let her exercise at this moment.Besides, Xiao Jue is the best judge of the situation.After all, he was able to invite Xia Zhi into the car, presumably because he wanted to gather her together again, so that he could still protect her safety in case of any emergencies.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that only letting Xia Zhi take the carriage is the most suitable choice.

According to Han Poli's arrangement, Xia Zhi just stood there silently for a while, then walked to the carriage.In fact, after riding the horse for a while, she had already felt that the skin on the inner thighs had been worn out.

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, actually she didn't need Han Poli's request, she also felt that her body was too weak and she had to exercise.

Xiao Jue stretched out his long and slender hand to greet Xia Zhi. Unlike Han Poli's calloused hand, Xiao Jue knew at a glance that he was a pampered person. "Come on, this carriage is a bit tall."

Xia Zhi ignored Xiao Jue directly, and only used her short legs to climb into the car with a slightly embarrassed image.Sitting down calmly, Xia Zhi signaled Xiao Jue to put down the curtain and set off.

The smile on Xiao Jue's face paused, and soon returned to its original gentle appearance, "Young Master Jimo is indeed a person with personality."

Xia Zhi could hear the meaning of Xiao Jue's words, but she nodded cheekily, and said calmly, "Thank you."

Seeing her tired and unwilling to talk, Xiao Jue's gentle smile paused again.

Sensing that the carriage under him started to move forward, the wheels were rumbling, and the carriage was shaking, Xiao Jue relaxed his body slightly, and leaned against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed.This carriage is exclusively for him, and the cushion on it is enough for him to sit for half a day without feeling tired.

There was silence in the carriage for a long time, Xiao Jue slowly opened his eyes, and saw Xia Zhi lifting the curtains on the carriage a little bored, looking at the scenery along the way.

"Actually, behind this is the carriage of Tan'er and Han'er. They are very easy to get along with, and their age is not much different from yours. If you feel bored, you can play with them." At that time, Xiao Jue's eyes were fixed on Xia Zhi's body without blinking.

Xia Zhi put down the car curtain indifferently, and rubbed her fingers by her side, "After all, I am a man, so it's better not to conflict with Princess and Miss Yan."

Hearing that Xia Zhi would answer, the smile on Xiao Jue's face suddenly softened a lot, and he said slowly, "Actually, they also often chat with the counselors in my house, and even Ning Yan is very familiar with them. Besides, Jimo The young master's age is not enough to avoid suspicion. If you want, the king can also call them into this carriage."

Xia Zhi paused, Xiao Jue put her together with his counselors again, did he subjectively think that she was already his?
I don't know what there is in me that can attract him to try so hard to win him over.

Pretending to be incomprehensible, Xia Zhi turned her head and opened the curtains again, "It's better not to. I just think the aroma in this car is a bit too strong, and I want to breathe."

Xia Zhi's ungratefulness seemed to be within Xiao Jue's expectations.Instead of dwelling on the question just now, seeing Xia Zhi mentioned the aroma in the car, he continued to chat with her along this topic.

"This is sandalwood incense. This king specially asked a perfumer to mix it out. It has a calming effect. If Mr. Jimo is not used to smelling it, I will ask them to remove this incense tomorrow."

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, Xiao Jue was really difficult.Looking for something to talk about, noisy!

Not wanting to chat with him anymore and say something meaningful, Xia Zhi finally closed her eyes and reminded Xiao Jue that she wanted to rest.

The smile on Xiao Jue's face paused again, he had never seen such a person who did not buy his own account.No, only one person would ignore him like that.

But Xia Zhi wanted him to shut up, but Xiao Jue didn't let her rest.After pondering for a while, Xiao Jue said slowly, "Young Master Jimo, do you know that there was a fire in Fushan Village before. That fire burned for three days and three nights, almost destroying the entire village, and the last survivors were only There's only one person."

Sure enough, Xia Zhi immediately opened her eyes after hearing this, and looked at Xiao Jue with an unkind expression, "What do you want to say?"

Although she didn't spend much time in Fushan Village, suddenly there was a fire that burned down the village, and this incident was enough for Xia Zhi to be on guard.

Seeing that Xia Zhi finally stopped pretending, Xiao Jue's eyes flashed a light, "There is one more thing, I don't know if you care or not, do you know who Chang Jiu gave his daughter to? Well, there is also Vice General Chen Why was it chosen by Chang Jiu and asked him to do it?"

His face darkened slightly, Xia Zhi's cold eyes flickered, but finally he smiled, "That's their business, what should I care about. I don't care about these things at all except that Brother Han wants to know Woolen cloth."

"Oh? Then what if I add the prince's purpose of sending a man in black to assassinate you by the river?" Whether Xia Zhi wants to know it or not, Xiao Jue has only one purpose.

"What do you want to do?" Xia Zhi put away the smile on her face, her eyes suddenly darkened.

"If you really don't want to be my king's counselor, then I will make a deal with you. How about it?" Xiao Jue put away the smile on his face, leaned slightly, and looked at Xia Zhi with pleading eyes .

"What deal?" Xia Zhi slightly closed her eyelids, her right thumb and index finger continued to rub against each other.

"I'll use this information in exchange for you to help me fetch something from the royal family of Xi Cang Kingdom." Xiao Jue clenched his hand in a corner that Xia Zhi couldn't see.As long as Xia Zhi agrees, he can...

Xia Zhi looked at Xiao Jue coldly, and the corners of her lips curled into an arc, "That means you still don't have an answer yet? Then why should I make a deal with you? I just can't find out by myself."

However, Xiao Jue's smile deepened. Hearing Xia Zhi's words, he knew that she had agreed to him in her heart. "No, in some places, I will check better than you. Don't forget, there is Han Poli beside you. You should understand that you can't let him know everything."

Xia Zhi also knew in her heart that making a deal with Xiao Jue was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.But the manpower she can use is too small.Han Poli, she doesn't want to disturb him for the time being, and she doesn't really trust other people, so it's better that this interest relationship makes her feel more at ease.And there is always an intuition in Xia Zhi's heart that behind these things, it is her.

The two fingers kept rubbing together, Xia Zhi's eyes darkened, and finally, before Xiao Jue's smile could no longer be maintained, she nodded, "Okay."

Xia Zhi responded, and Xiao Jue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.He also imitated Xia Zhi and opened the curtain to look out, but the image of him discussing the deal with Xia Zhi kept appearing in his mind.Xiao Jue never thought that his majestic second prince of Dongling would take the initiative to negotiate a deal with a child, even thinking about it felt a little ironic.

However, he had to rely on Xia Zhi's hand to get that thing.
