Chapter 202 Dispute
Upon hearing this, Gu Ning's expression finally fluctuated.
Her eyes rolled and she quickly recalled the scenes before leaving.
"Are you talking about the Beidu Protectorate's Deal?" Gu Ning blinked his peach blossom eyes, ignored the Yue Ming brothers, and ran over them to Xie Yan, who was practicing swordsmanship.
Xie Yan had no choice but to put down the sword in his hand, for fear of hurting her: "It's just for the sake of the scene."
"In recent years, more and more things have been sent to the Investigation of the Investigation, but the Investigation of the Investigation has become less and less. The emperor became suspicious of this and wanted to hand over the investigation of the Investigation to General Pei, who handed the Investigation to the ministers again."
Xie Yan's words made Gu Ning feel suspicious.
She pinched her chin and looked at Xie Yan thoughtfully: "I have been here like this for so many years. How come the emperor brought up a discussion this year?"
As he said that, Gu Ning opened his beautiful peach blossom eyes widened and looked at Xie Yan steadily, with a bit of meaning in his eyes.
Xie Yan just pretended that she didn't see her eyes, coughed lightly and walked out: "Tomorrow's minister is going to the Beidu Protectorate. In order to ensure the safety of the county lord, please stay in Yuezhou."
"No!" Gu Ning refused Xie Yan's proposal without thinking.
She pulled Xie Yan's sleeve and refused to let Xie Yan leave. She muttered, "I want to go to the Beidu Protectorate with you!"
Before Xie Yan could answer, she said again: "If Yan Yu is not dead, he will definitely come to settle the score with me and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Yuezhou is much more dangerous than the Beidu Protectorate!"
Gu Ning's words successfully shaken Xie Yan.
Xie Yan lowered her eyes, looked at her holding her hands tightly and then, and simply held the soft hand in the palm of her hand.
Yue Ming just pretended that he hadn't seen this scene. When Yue Rong was poking his head, he patted Yue Rong's head, took the person away, and cursed, "Master has something to do, why are you doing with me?"
"I..." Yue Rong covered his head that was beaten and looked confused, "What the county lord just said is the main business? She clearly wanted to pester his master! How can such a child's affair become a master... Um!"
Yue Rong could not say the rest. He was covered by Yue Ming and dragged it to the backyard.
On the martial arts training ground, there were only Gu Ning and Xie Yan, and the soldiers patrolling around had already been cleared by Xie Yan.
The moonlight was just right tonight, covering the two of them, emitting a soft white light.
Xie Yan played with this soft and boneless hand and rubbed it repeatedly. He didn't know what he thought of. His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice suddenly became hoarse: "If you want to go to the Beidu Protectorate, you can't go as the county lord."
Gu Ning was stunned when he heard this, but heard Xie Yan say something softly in her ear.
The next moment, her eyes lit up.
"What you said is true?"
"This is exactly what I plan."
Xie Yan nodded, making the joy in Gu Ning's eyes more obvious.
She excitedly held Xie Yan's hand and said, "Your method is great! In this way, we can investigate the real situation of the verdict clearly!"
"I just want to aggrieved the county lord to pretend to be a maid..."
"No!" Gu Ning rejected Xie Yan's arrangements in one verbal case, "I thought of an excellent solution!"..
Xie Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and she felt a little uneasy. Gu Ning continued, "You and I pretend to be husband and wife, pretending to be selling tea in the market, how about it? Those bandits hid a lot of good tea."
The Huns were invincible on the grassland, but they had many problems. Apart from salt, tea is the most popular commodity on the grassland. Many travelers would go to Jiangnan to buy good tea and then send it to the market for sale.
This was Xie Yan's arrangement, but he pretended to be a couple...
When he thought of this, a thin layer of red color was dyed on the tip of his ears.
However, Gu Ning's soft body was still pressed against his arm, and his tone was soft, but he could not refuse: "I don't look like a little maid no matter how I look like. Only by pretending to be a couple with you is the most reasonable."
Xie Yan had not agreed, but many thoughts had emerged in Gu Ning's head. Since she was pretending to be a couple, she must be in the same room. As long as she gave Xie Yan a good time, she could enter the ranks of lucky owners in one fell swoop!
This is a god-given opportunity!
Gu Ning's smile could hardly hide. When she was secretly happy in her heart, she suddenly met Xie Yan's suspicious eyes. She immediately restrained her expression. Even so, she still made Xie Yan feel a lot of doubts.
"Disposed as a husband and wife to the county lord..."
"What kind of reputation!" Gu Ningbo's shimmering peach blossom eyes raised high and said unhappily, "I have done everything with you. As you said, I have no reputation for anything..."
"It's my fault." A thin layer of redness appeared on Xie Yanjun's beautiful fair face. He looked at Gu Ning with some annoyance, fearing that Gu Ning would be sad because of his words just now.
Fortunately, Gu Ning just glared with beautiful eyes and forced him to agree to his request: "I will pretend to be a husband and wife with you! If you don't agree, I will..."
"Okay." Xie Yan had no choice but to respond, "I will do whatever the county lord said."
Hearing this, Gu Ning nodded with satisfaction: "We have agreed that you must not leave me alone to the scene!"
"I have never deceived the county lord." Xie Yan whispered, "But before that, there is still one person to deal with it."
Gu Ning blinked. Just as he was thinking about who the man was, he heard Yue Ming in the corner whisper: "Jiang Qian, the Minister of Personnel, came to Yuezhou, probably for the treasures hidden by the bandits."
In an instant, Gu Ning clarified his thoughts: "Can those treasures be Chu Yunyi's?"
Seeing Xie Yan's eyes that instantly became cold, Gu Ning knew it. She gently pinched her chin and smiled happily: "So, are we snatching Chu Yunyi's stuff?"
The scumbag had long been thrown away by her, but she snatched his stuff. The taste in this can only be described in one word - cool!
"Jiang Qian came for that batch of treasures?" Gu Ning smiled and said with a sly look on his face, "Can he want to rob him openly?"
"Qichang also has some relationship with the Jiang family." Xie Yan revealed, "This batch of treasures is one of his goals, and the profits earned by Quichang this year are also his purpose."
Gu Ning suddenly realized: "The Jiang family's hands are long enough! But it's not surprising. If it weren't for the Jiang family's protection, how could the matter of the court be delayed until now?"
The Chu State, Yan State, and the Huns all had special products, but the three countries could not watch their opponents become stronger, so there was almost no foreign trade. The Chu State established a tent field during the late emperor and traded with the other two countries. It not only allowed the tent field to gain huge benefits from the tent field, but also ensured that the items flowing through the tent field were not prohibited products such as salt and iron.
Merchants from the Three Kingdoms are trading in the market, and they only need to pay 30% of the sales to the market as tariffs.
When the late emperor was still alive, the profits from the treasury accounted for half of the national treasury each year, but over the years, the profits of the treasury gradually became smaller, only one-half of the previous ones.
Gu Ning thought about it carefully, and his eyes changed: "Since we have all ruined Chu Yunyi's good deeds, we will do it all the time and destroy his second good deeds!"
"The county lord still cares about him."
Xie Yan suddenly spoke, and what he said made Gu Ning feel cold behind him.
She shook her head quickly: "How is that possible? I just dislike this person so much that I wish I could see him being unlucky! You just say whether you did it or not!"
Xie Yan's arm was firmly held by Gu Ning, but for Xie Yan, the force was minimal. However, he was unwilling to break free, suppressed the joy in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "I will do my best to do my best to do the orders of the county lord."
The two discussed it and walked out of the martial arts training ground together.
As soon as he was halfway through, Gu Ning was stopped by Chu Shiling.
Chu Shiling looked at Gu Ning at this moment like looking at a heartless man who had been abandoned all the time, making Gu Ning feel numb.
"you……"
"Gu Ning! You lied to me!" Chu Shiling interrupted her viciously
He pulled her hand and walked into the garden, muttering and accusing her, "What did you do with Xie Yan on your back? Is it something shameful?"
Chu Shiling looked Gu Ning up and down, as if he suddenly thought of something, took a breath and covered his mouth and said, "No! Are you going to Xie Yan in broad daylight..."
"Bao, bah!" Gu Ning covered her mouth and said angrily, "This is a secret mission assigned to me by my grandmother. How can I take you with me? It has nothing to do with the Huns, no one can tell you! Otherwise, there will be only one end!"
Gu Ning said, and gestured between Chu Shiling's neck.
Chu Shiling's body stiffened. She was already arrogant and had gained the upper hand. But she still said stubbornly: "Then you should tell me in advance, so as not to worry me! I found out that you were missing, but my worries were broken! People searched in the cave for a long time!"
"Is that true?" Gu Ning smiled coldly at her, "But why did I hear that someone came back from the batch of things after being furious?"
Chu Shiling was exposed to her true face, and she was not guilty at all. Instead, she raised her chest and looked up and said, "Isn't that the apology you gave me?"
Gu Ning rolled his eyes in anger and waved his hands, "You are right! You are right! I still have some serious things to do, don't follow me!"
"Jiang Qian is in the front hall." Chu Shiling said with a pout, "Even if it's a serious matter, as the owner of the Princess's Mansion, I will still come out to meet Jiang Qian with you."
Gu Ning paused and looked at Chu Shiling carefully: "Why do I think you have changed a lot?"
