The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

Chapter 57

Xue Wuyi really didn’t need to send someone to intercept (kill sha) the envoy, because someone was more concerned about the safety of the princess of the Northern War. +++Mobile reading visit m.

The clue to the secret treasure of the west dung is in the person in the painting, and the person in the painting looks exactly like the princess of the Northern War. Regardless of whether Anqing Emperor was tempted or not, Ye Jing knew about this matter, and someone would definitely take An Changqing as a raft.

As long as the letter was written in half truthfulness, Xiao Zhige would not sit by and watch the Queen Mother’s envoys arrive in Yejing alive when Xiao Zhige received his news.

It can not only help him solve his serious problems, but also sell the favor of the Northern Warlord, why not do it?

And Xue Wuyi was right, Xiao Zhige did not dare to bet on An Changqing’s safety.

——The news was delivered by the maid next to Xue Wuyi in person. In addition, there is a portrait.

The maid said that the person in the painting looked exactly like An Changqing, but Xiao Zhige only glanced at it and knew that this painting was definitely not An Changqing. The eyes of the person in the painting are narrower and longer, and the lips are thinner, making him look a little cold. Even the small red (colored) mole under his left eye failed to neutralize the coldness in his eyes.

It’s not the same as An Changqing. Just looking at the face, this should be an extremely deserted person.

Unlike his here, it is soft and warm.

Xiao Zhige looked at the portrait and did not speak. Ji Xue was not humble and did not say: “My grandfather asked me to bring a word to the prince: As long as my grandfather is alive for one day, Xi Wei will never be the enemy of Daye.”

Xiao Zhige held his hands behind his back, looked down and pondered for a moment, and said to her: “Go back and tell you my grandfather, just say the previous transaction, this king agreed.”

Then he pointed to the portrait again: “This portrait is an imitation, I left it.”

The portrait is indeed imitated by Xue Wuyi, and the original has been put away by him a long time ago. Ji Xue bowed slightly towards him, leaving behind a portrait, leaving quietly as usual when Tathagata came.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhige remained silent for a long time at the portrait. He didn’t think Xue Wuyi would deceive him with such a clumsy scam, then this portrait and the secret treasure of the west dung are all true.

With such a similar face, even the position of the mole under the eyes is exactly the same. To take a coincidence, it is really self-deception.

Xiao Zhige pondered for a long time and felt that the problem was mostly related to An Changqing’s mother clan. Anjia is a native of Yejing and a rising upstart, it is impossible to have a relationship with Xue Chang or Xiwei. That is mostly related to the mother clan.

An Changqing’s mother…was originally from a brothel, but her parents are unknown.

With a plan in his mind, Xiao Zhige put the portrait away cautiously, and wrote a letter asking people to send it out quickly. After all the arrangements were made, he asked Chang to come over to discuss the jade mine.

Chang Zaichang heard him say that when Xi Wei agreed to let out the jade mine, his expression was dull, and he narrowed his eyes for a while: “How do I think there is something I don’t know about it?”

Xiao Zhige glanced at him indifferently: “There are so many things you don’t know. You just ask people to mine. As previously said, I will be seven and three.”

Chang Zaichang thought for a while. After years of getting along, he knew that Xiao Zhige would not harm him. When he saw that he didn’t say anything, he didn’t ask the bottom line. Instead, he said, “How can I do it if I dug it out?” This incident was not reported to Ye Jing. , It’s not always too much fanfare.

Xiao Zhige had a countermeasure for this and said to him: “After the jade is mined, don’t rush to drive, and ask the caravan to directly transport the rough stone to the south. There is a wealthy man, and I think there will be many wealthy merchants who are willing to spend money. ”

Although the storms of Daye are now, but the front is also prosperous, especially in the south, because Taizu once opened up trade, they and Yuze have been prosperous for several years. The wealthy business man was too rich. Although the subsequent emperors ordered no trade, the family still remained. No worries about no money, but nowhere to spend money. The jade was transported and auctioned together with the stone, so no one wanted it.

Chang Zaichang was a little dumbfounded: “Rough auction? Does anyone buy it?”

Xiao Zhige glanced at him: “Send someone who will come and build momentum first. There are a lot of wealthy businessmen in the south who are willing to gamble.”

Of course, these wealthy businessmen with some family backgrounds will not go to gambling shops for some unsavory fun, they play more tricks. For example, horse racing, or bird fighting, the piles are all expensive games.

If it is a single piece of jadeite, of course it is also valuable, but for two jadeite mines, if you want a steady stream of money, only a few states and counties to the south may not be able to afford it. On the contrary, auctioning rough stones like this can arouse the curiosity of these wealthy businessmen even more.

A piece of rough jade is good or bad. With small gains, arouse their gamblers’ psychology, then they don’t have to worry about selling.

Chang Zaichang was thoughtful, and soon sent someone to make arrangements. Xiao Zhige brought a portrait to find An Changqing.

An Changqing had already eaten breakfast and was reading in the study at this time. Yu Gang did his duty, and waited at the entrance of the study like a little tail. Seeing Xiao Zhige coming over, he quickly got up and saluted.

Xiao Zhige nodded slightly and strode in.

An Changqing had already heard the movement inside, and she just put down her book and greeted her. Xiao Zhige paused when he saw him, and subconsciously compared him with the person in the painting. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the difference between the two was very great.

He didn’t intend to hide this from An Changqing, so he locked the door of the study and told him the whole story.

The portrait was spread out on the desk, and An Changqing looked at it in surprise, looking at it, wishing to stare out a hole in the portrait.

After a long time, he shook his head and affirmed: “I haven’t seen it. I have never heard my mother talk about it.”

Not only in this life, even in the last life, he never knew what (gan gan) relationship he would still have with the Western Dung Secret Treasure. He had heard some old things from his mother, but he didn’t mention anything like Xiyu. He only knew that the mother was thrown by the road shortly after she was born, and there was only a piece of Pisces jade in the baby. The mother was picked up to raise up, and later met in the disaster year. Because she had grown well, she was sold into the brothel by her adoptive parents in exchange for life-saving money.

This fact is confusing, Xiao Zhige knows more than he knows, but still has no clue. I can only light the portrait with a fire fold, saying: “This portrait involves too much, you are rotten in your heart today, don’t say anything about it.”

An Changqing curled her eyebrows, still a little worried about this unwarranted disaster. He hadn’t been in Yejing in the previous life, and he didn’t know about the West Dung. I don’t even know that Xiwei still has such a portrait. Now that he was born again, he changed many things, but brought out more things that were never (fa) in the previous life.

I don’t know whether all these changes are good or bad.

Seeing him frowning, Xiao Zhige thought he was worried about it, so he comforted: “I have sent someone to intercept (kill sha), the envoy of the west dungeon, and I won’t let the father and the others know about this.”

An Changqing shook her head, put her forehead on his shoulder and sighed deeply, and said in distress, “I just feel that these days are really one thing after another, and there is no time to stop.”

This sense of loss of control inevitably makes people anxious, and a little annoyed that I was really confused in my previous life, and didn’t know anything.

Xiao Zhige went smoothly on his back. Seeing him frowning, he changed a happy thing and told him: “The emerald mine is ready to be mined. I’ll show you over there? Pick a few good materials by the way.”

An Changqing is actually a bit listless, but thinking that there are not many opportunities like this, she nodded and followed him.

…

After the deal was negotiated, Xi Wei withdrew his troops. The camps on the border have been pulled up, but there are many Liangzhou soldiers who are closing the mountain-in the future, this area will easily not be able to enter.

The two of them went in and strolled around. There are already many craftsmen picking out rubbles. These rubbles are all rolled down during landslides. Many of them are rough stones with emeralds hidden in them. They just need to be carefully distinguished by those who can see . Pick out from ordinary rocks.

After being in the mine for two days, An Changqing picked a few rough stones according to the skills learned from the craftsman, and then let them cut them with tools. Except for one that had cotton in it, the other ones were all good water. Wait for emerald. An Changqing felt depressed for two days before finally becoming happy.

After picking the jade, they have been in Liangzhou for four or five days, and they are ready to set off back to Yanzhou.

All the necessary matters concerning the mining of the jadeite mine were handed over to Chang Zaichang. As for the caravan that transports the rough stones, we still need to find a strict candidate. Now that the jadeite mine is still being mined, I am not so worried, so I prepared Go back to Yanzhou first and then discuss it slowly.

It was another early morning, and a group of people ran on the road when they were riding horses.

Now that An Changqing has learned how to ride a horse, she picked a docile mare to ride on herself. Xiao Yu Gang also returned to Yanzhou with them. Because he couldn’t ride a horse at a young age, he asked Xiao Zhige to ride with him.

Although Xiao Zhige didn’t say anything on his face, his face was dark, and his eyes fell on the figure in front of him from time to time.

Yu Gang sat in front of him, too scared to breathe. Looking at the princess riding a horse in front of her, she admired more and more in her heart. He now knew that it was the princess of the Northern War that saved him, and he deeply felt that the princess was not only good-hearted, but even such a fierce prince was not afraid of it at all. It was really powerful.

***

In May, the weather became warmer and the people put on thin clothes. Because the war has ceased, Yanzhou City is much more lively than before. When they returned to the city, many people saw them and greeted them with a smile. It was a bustling scene.

It was already evening when they returned to the city, and Yu Gang was handed over to An Fu for resettlement. An Changqing and Xiao Zhige had dinner, and they washed up early and prepared to rest.

After a day and a night, An Changqing was really sore in her waist and legs. After washing, she leaned on the pillow and beat her leg. Her face wrinkled, looking a little childish.

Xiao Zhige came out, laughed when he saw him like this, and walked over naturally, picked up his legs and put them on his body, controlled his strength to knead him, but said in his mouth: “I said that riding hard, I told you Be with me.”

Obviously, An Changqing rode a horse by himself, but stuffed him with a child, and the Northern War King was not very happy.

An Changqing squashed his mouth, kicked his shoulders with his feet, and muttered: “It’s not very tired at first.” Who knows that after getting off the horse, his whole body will fall apart and sore. An Changqing thought that he must be riding less, so he should practice more in the future.

Xiao Zhige’s eyes flashed, he took his foot homeopathically, and his cocooned thumb swept across the soles of his feet, causing an itching sensation.

“Hey, don’t scratch.” An Changqing was afraid of itching, so she pulled her feet back and hid them, and then stared at him in despair.

Xiao Zhige’s eyes (color) were deeper, and he leaned forward, attached to his ear and said in a low voice: “Hey, will you round the room today?”

An Changqing’s body became stiff, and her eyes opened wide as she looked at him, Hong Xia spread from the base of her ears to her neck, as if she was dumbfounded.

With his appearance, Xiao Zhige’s eyes were filled with emotions, his fingers ran across his back, and he asked in a low voice: “How about?”

An Changqing finally recovered, and the whole person was about to smoke shyly. This kind of thing like a round house was the first time in his previous life and this life. However, it is normal for the two to be married for so long, and when I went to Liangzhou, I said that I would complete the house after returning.

What is abnormal is why this person should ask him so seriously? !

Glancing at him, An Changqing thought angrily, this matter… didn’t this matter all started directly after putting down the tent? Ask and ask what to do!

Xiao Zhige didn’t know what he was thinking, but he was still waiting for his answer seriously. The two men were together and asked An Changqing to bear it. He was a bit wronged, so he didn’t want to force him. If he didn’t want to, he could wait.

Being so determined by him, An Changqing said it was not good, but it was not good either. When she saw the expectation under his eyes, An Changqing swallowed nervously, telling herself that it was no big deal. He clenched his fingers. Although he didn’t answer, he plucked up the courage and raised his head and kissed him.

Silence is better than sound.

The soft one (kiss wen) is printed on the corner of the lips, and it is self-evident. Xiao Zhige’s eyes were like waves surging, but he did not dare to vent (show) half of it, only intimidated him.

With a sudden smile at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Zhige lowered his eyes, carefully spreading his hair, fingers shuttled among the black hair, and gently returned a kiss on his forehead: “Don’t be afraid…”

………………………………

This night, Xiao Zhige was extremely gentle.

An Changqing had practiced maintenance according to the prescription given by Hu Shifei earlier, and did not suffer too much, but was riding a horse for a day and a night, and rambling around for a long time at night. She was really tired and fell asleep shortly after it was over. .

Xiao Zhige didn’t feel sleepy at all, and carefully scrubbed (gan) him, holding the person in his arms treasuredly, without blinking his eyes.

From now on, the person in his arms will belong to him intact.

…

Xiao Zhige didn’t sleep for the whole night, but his mental head was very good. At dawn, he went to the yard and punched a set of punches. After he vented all his extra energy (fat), he went to the kitchen himself and asked someone to eat today’s food. Prepare carefully, be light and restrained.

After I came back, I happened to meet An Fu who was about to enter the house and shout, and stopped him to stop An Changqing from sleeping well: “You don’t need to call the princess today.”

An Fu only thought that the princess was tired from rushing back, and didn’t think elsewhere, so he left with the washing utensils, planning to come back later. An Fu left, but Xiao Zhige didn’t enter the house to make a noise. He sat in the courtyard, staring in the direction of the main house, and didn’t know what he was thinking.

When Qi Wei, Xie Ling and others found them, they saw their prince smiling… staring in a certain direction in a daze.
