Just as gloomy as the Ninth Princess was Nathan, the messenger of the Black Tiger Tribe.
He had been sending people to keep an eye on Princess Lu Jie, so Nathan got the news before Guan Xiaorou and Princess Lu Jie arrived home.
However, his men did not dare to stare too closely, and only saw Bing'er carrying Princess Lu Jie on her back, getting into the carriage with Guan Xiaorou, and returning to Jin Feng's house.
The conditions put forward by Princess Ninth during their last meeting were so harsh that Nathan didn't know where to start even if he wanted to make a counteroffer, so he decided to wait a few days before going to see Princess Ninth again.
When he learned that Princess Lu Jie had moved into Jin Feng's house, or with Guan Xiaorou, Nathan really couldn't sit still.
Because he realized again that he was not the only one working with Jin Feng and Ninth Princess.
But the Black Tiger tribe really couldn't wait any longer.
After struggling for a long time, I decided to talk to Princess Ninth again.
But this time he had people carry the gifts he had prepared before.
Nathan did not go directly to the Ninth Princess because he knew he would not be able to see her, so he went to the Privy Council first and asked to see Tie Shixin.
The Ninth Princess told Tie Shixin that if Nathan came to see him recently, he could inform him.
So Tie Shixin did not stay behind closed doors, but asked Nathan to wait in the Privy Council while he went to the Imperial Study Room to inform the Ninth Princess.
Because of Chen Xiucai's incident, the Ninth Princess was a little upset and couldn't bear to see the memorial. However, she didn't want to waste time, so she agreed to meet Nathan.
Jin Feng noticed that the Ninth Princess was not in a good mood, so he also stayed.
When Tie Shixin returned to the Privy Council, he first arranged for someone to check the box brought by Nathan, and then asked the other party's entourage to wait outside the Privy Council while the bodyguards carried the box.
Arriving at the royal study room, Nathan was a little surprised to see Jin Feng there, but he quickly came to his senses and saluted the Ninth Princess and Jin Feng: "I've met your Majesty, I've met the Imperial Master!"
"Pingshen!" Ninth Princess raised her hand slightly.
Jin Feng was a little dissatisfied with Nathan for cheating him last time, so he just glanced at it and continued to look down at the battle report.
He decided not to speak if he could today, lest Nathan take advantage of him again.
Nathan knew that he was in the wrong. When Jin Feng ignored him, he could only smile at the Ninth Princess: "Our King asked me to prepare some gifts for His Majesty. I was not sure whether I could see Your Majesty last time, so I didn't bring them over today.
Finally got a chance!”
When the Ninth Princess heard this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Nathan said this as if he was sure that he would meet him today.
However, as long as I can remember, Dakang has been giving gifts to the plateau, and now it is finally the turn of the plateau tribes to give gifts to Dakang.
Therefore, the Ninth Princess was quite happy and did not directly expose Nathan. She nodded slightly and said, "You are interested!"
Zhu'er heard what Princess Ninth said and knew that she agreed to accept the gift, so she signaled the bodyguard outside to bring the box in.
There are more than a dozen boxes, large and small, in total.
Moreover, one box was so heavy that it required four bodyguards to lift it.
The escorts put down their boxes and left, while Nathan opened the boxes one by one and introduced them to the Ninth Princess.
"Your Majesty, this is a cloak made of snow fox skin. It is extremely soft and warm. If you wear it in winter, you will not catch a cold even if it snows heavily. In order to capture the snow fox, the warriors of our Black Tiger tribe worked hard in the snow.
winter!"
"This is the yak jerky, a specialty of our Black Tiger tribe. It is delicious and refreshing, and will ward off hunger!"
"this is……"
I have to say that the gifts prepared by the Black Tiger Tribe are quite thoughtful.
There are many items among them, which are also considered rare items on the plateau.
For example, the Snow Fox cloak, although Nathan only mentioned it briefly, Jin Feng knew that many people from the Black Tiger tribe would die for this cloak.
After introducing the previous boxes, Nathan opened the last two boxes.
There are two boxes, one big and one small. The big box is the one that requires four escorts to lift.
This big box was carried in last. It was not far from the door and the sunlight could shine directly through it.
When Nathan opened the lid of this big box, the entire royal study became golden!
Jin Feng squinted his eyes and looked over, only to see that the box was filled with large and small gold ingots!
No wonder it’s so heavy. Could gold not be heavy?
"It seems that the Black Tiger tribe is quite rich!"
Jin Feng sighed silently in his heart.
The smelting technology on the plateau was backward. Jin Feng glanced at it and saw that the gold ingots in the box contained many impurities.
But even so, this box of gold ingots is quite valuable.
Sichuan and Sichuan are currently building infrastructure everywhere, and money is being burned everywhere. With this box of gold, Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess can somewhat breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, after Dakang was "rewarded" in the past, the Eastern Barbarian faction Tubo would also give Dakang gifts in return, but their return gifts were usually worthless things, such as just giving Dakang a few pieces of beef and mutton.
One time, Emperor Dangxiang only returned a few stones, saying that he had heard that Chen Ji liked exotic flowers and stones, so he sent many people to find the stones in the mountains.
That idiot Chen Ji believed it to be true and even went to find someone to taste it.
It turned out that those rocks were common mountain rocks in the northwest, picked up casually on the roadside.
Chen Ji was so angry that he beat up the experts responsible for the tasting and ordered them to go out and say it was a strange stone.
The Ninth Princess knew the truth and was very angry and sad about it.
What made her feel even more sad was that Dangxiang was very powerful at that time. Even if Chen Ji knew that Emperor Dangxiang had brought a few broken stones to humiliate him, Chen Ji still had to offer these broken stones as precious stones.
From that year on, Dangxiang's return gifts became worse and worse year by year. In two years, the beef returned was rotten, and the envoys were infested with insects before they were brought back to the capital.
Although Tubo is not as extreme as Dangxiang, it is not much different.
This is the first time that the Ninth Princess has seen a return gift of real money like today.
Not to mention how much gold was in the box, the significance of this incident alone is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.
When Nathan opened other boxes before, the Ninth Princess showed no expression on her face. Only when she opened this box, the Ninth Princess nodded towards Nathan.
Nathan returned the favor flattered, and then opened the last small box.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the last gift from our king - gold bull head!"
Nathan took out a gold nugget from the box.
"Niutoujin?" Jin Feng couldn't help turning his head when he heard this.
He had heard of Nugget Gold in his previous life, but this was the first time he heard of Nugget Gold.
Looking carefully, I found that the gold nugget held in Nathan's hand was about the size of a papaya and was covered with dense pits and holes, making it look like a honeycomb.
This is similar to the picture of Nugget-headed Gold that Jin Feng saw on the Internet in his previous life. It should be the Nugget-headed Gold that he had heard of in his previous life, but it was called by a different name.
Generally speaking, if nugget gold is found, there is a high probability that gold mines will be found nearby.
No wonder the Black Tiger tribe sent so much gold. It turned out that the family had a mine, and it was a gold mine. There might be more than one.
