General Essence Sticky Essence

This year's New Year's Eve was so boring. After the death of Empress Dowager Zhang, people all over the country did not dare to burn fireworks and firecrackers. New Year's Eve passed quietly.

During the first lunar month, hawkers in the city did not dare to come out to make a living too early, and on the tenth day of the lunar new year, the streets were still empty.

The only advantage is that the few days of vacation during the year are really fun.

He Yun was leaning on the recliner in the yard basking in the sun, his eyes slightly squinted.I thought I had nothing to do these days, so I felt very at ease.

Lan Tian stayed at home obediently, and never mentioned that he wanted to go out to travel north and south.Zichen almost lives in the general's mansion, and he can see him every day, and he can touch it every now and then for a poke or something.

Life is truly bubbling with happiness.

The only fly in the ointment is that the baked sweet potato stall in the west of the city has not yet opened.He Yun has tasted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but this mouthful of roasted sweet potatoes is still difficult to achieve.

Just swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he suddenly heard a soft sound in his ear: "Fall asleep?"

He Yun immediately opened his eyes, jumped up from the reclining chair, and sat down with Xie Xuan.

It is naturally a bit crowded for two big men to sit on a deck chair, but He Yun didn't feel it, moved closer to the side, wrapped his hands in a circle, hugged Xie Xuan tightly, leaned his head on his arm, Asked: "The emperor called you again?"

"No." Xie Xuan lowered his head and smiled softly, "Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"Xiao Feng Yi was chatting with Lan Tian in the house, the old man was still sound asleep, and the others had long since realized the strangeness, what is there to be afraid of? If you are not at home early in the morning, if you are not entering the palace, you Where did you go?"

Xie Xuan seemed a little helpless, seeing He Yun squinting his eyes and enjoying himself, and then lowered his head to look at the paper bag in his hand.Asked: "Don't you want to eat the sweet potatoes in the west of the city? It's fine if you can't see it with your eyes closed. Is your nose also out of order?"

"Ah!" He Yun opened his eyes.

"Here," Xie Xuan shook his hand, "let go first, this sweet potato is very hot, I can hardly hold it anymore."

"Oh oh oh!" He Yun hurriedly let go and took the sweet potatoes, "Why did they sell them on the tenth day of the lunar new year? Are there any vendors on the street?"

"Not yet," Xie Xuan cleared his throat, "I went to knock on someone's door."

He Yun moved his eyes away from Sweet Potato, opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Xuan, grinning to his ears, and was about to overflow with happiness: "Say it again."

"Huh?" Xie Xuan couldn't figure it out, "I mean the sweet potato in the west of the city is not open yet, I'm going to the boss's house... hey!"

He Yun suddenly stepped onto Xie Xuan's lap and sat down, leaned over and gave a loud pop, and said happily, "Why are you so nice!"

"Okay, okay," Xie Xuan smiled and pushed him, "This is in the yard, don't mess around."

The two sat side by side, one eating and the other watching.

Today is windless and sunny.On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the days are also good.

He Yun grabbed a piece of golden sweet potato with the skin attached, and handed it to Xie Xuan.Watching him lower his head and take a bite, then take it back, he gnawed off the rest, with joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Until the concierge hurried into the courtyard, disturbing the peace.

"My lord, general, the emperor sent someone to call me."

He Yun wiped his mouth, pulled Xie Xuan on, and said: "I know that ten days of idleness is the limit, let's go, go back to the house and change into court clothes."

"Our Suribang has a vast land and few people, and is rich in products. If the Great Wei trades with us, the two countries will definitely win."

An envoy from Su Libang named Dai Wen was attacking the world view of the officials in the imperial court. Over there, their princess, with big green eyes, passed the crowd and stared closely at He Yun in front of the hall.

The so-called Yuanjia road is narrow, but that's all.One was the leading guard who cut off He Yun's arrow that day, and the other was the savage girl who directly had a verbal conflict.

He Yun had thorns on his back, and faced the front straightly, leaning towards Xie Xuan calmly, trying to use Xie Xuan's body to block himself.

Xie Xuan patted his arm lightly, and asked softly, "What are you afraid of?"

"You don't know, this girl is arrogant and unreasonable, and she doesn't seem to be a general-minded person. She is staring at me like this now, and she is already afraid of arousing the suspicion of the emperor and all the officials. If she says something serious, then Am I miserable?"

Xie Xuan was silent for a moment, then turned to the messenger and said, "The messenger said that he came from the country north of Mount Asuo, so how did he get over it? This king is really curious."

The civil and military officials recovered from the fact that there is a country in the extreme north, and immediately listened with bated breath.

"Although Mount Asuo is high, there is always a way. If your country is willing to do business, our country will naturally be willing to let us know." Dai Wen replied.

"There is frequent trade between our court and foreign courts. If the envoy intends to do business, my court is naturally happy to hear about it. It's just that you and I don't know each other well, so we have to show sincerity."

"Sincerity? I'm here, don't you have sincerity?"

This time it was the princess who answered the conversation. She temporarily turned her eyes away from He Yun and turned to Xie Xuan.

Come on, I know that this princess is arrogant and arrogant, so she can't show her dignity when she encounters such a topic?

Xie Xuan blinked at He Yun, turned around slightly, and faced the Princess Su Libang.

"The status of a princess is naturally honorable, but she just wants to do business and know the basics."

The princess took two steps forward, and the braid on the top of her head also swayed twice with her steps. She tilted her head and looked at Xie Xuan.

"Knowledge? What do you mean?"

The green eyes rolled between them, and the expression on that face was actually a bit eager for knowledge.

Dai Wen wanted to explain to her in his native language, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the princess raising his hand.

"I don't want you to say it," she pointed at Xie Xuan, "he said it."

"That is to say, your country understands us, and we also need to understand your country." Xie Xuan smiled and slowed down his speech, "Your country's region, products, resources, and financial resources all need to be considered."

The princess took another step forward, almost approaching Xie Xuan.She raised her eyes slightly, met Xie Xuan's gaze, and said, "You Dawei don't even know how to get over Mount Asuo, and you still want to know about us?"

She is tall and tall, with erect features, just staring at Xie Xuan with provocative eyes.

Xie Xuan also took a step forward, and said with a smile: "This is meaningless. Your country needs to open up trade first, and then it will be profitable. In other people's land, don't give it to others."

At such a close distance, Xie Xuanguang's stature is enough to give the opponent a great sense of oppression.Coupled with his gentle, alienated smile and neutral tone, the princess finally felt uneasy, coughed lightly, turned around, and asked, "What do you mean by dismounting?"

Dai Wen patted her and took a step forward: "The foreign minister's trip brought the greatest wealth of Su Libang. If the emperor is interested, we can show it."

The emperor and Gongyi Yu looked at each other and nodded.

Man Chao's eyes immediately focused on the two large wooden boxes that were brought in at this time.

The Great Wei has a vast land and abundant resources, and its trade with neighboring countries is mostly exports, with few imports. Therefore, the rich resources have become something that the subjects are proud of.

In addition, there are so many rare and rare treasures that the various tribes in the Western Regions pay tribute to each year, and all the officials see are top-grade, so it is impossible to think of any other treasures in this box, which are enough to be used as bargaining chips for foreign countries to do business with the Great Wei.

Dai Wen's gaze rested on the emperor's face for a moment, then he strode to the wooden boxes and lifted the lid of one of them with confidence.

At that moment, the courtiers standing in the front row opened their eyes wide.The adults in the back row stretched their necks and looked forward, and when their eyes touched the inside of the box, they were also shocked.

He Yun sighed softly: "My God..."

As the saying goes: The banished fairy has a clear charm and a spirit bird, and the noble concubine has a fat blue field with a jade belt.That is to say, this blue field jade is rare, but it can be tied around the waist of a noble concubine; and this blue larch stone, even if it is still water and bright moon, it is difficult to find one in the world.

But now, a whole box of blue sparrows lay quietly in the center of the hall. It was clearly a dark pile, but it caught everyone's eyes inexplicably.

Even the emperor was stunned and said: "This..."

The big-eyed princess snorted softly: "There are still ten boxes in the post house, how about it?"

She turned her head, "how is it?" she said to Xie Xuan.

"The blue bird is indeed a rare treasure," He Yun leaned forward, "Then what is the other box?"

Give you a face?Provoking Zichen again and again, I'm really speechless...

The princess glanced at him, and seemed to let out a breath through her teeth: "Do you know this blue bird?"

He Yun felt that he was being scorned by the sky, rolled his eyes and stood up, like a numb memorization machine, opened his mouth and said: "Blue larch stone, the outside is stone, and the inside is jade. After being smelted at high fire, the surface stone layer When it falls off, the inner jade is revealed, blue as the sky, and as clear as water, so it is also called "Tianshui Huayi", which is really a rare thing."

The princess still glanced at him, unmoved at all, and raised her hand to signal her subordinates to open another box.

He Yun really didn't feel well in his heart, after figuring it out for a while, he turned sideways and asked Xie Xuan quietly: "That's what it says in the book, did I remember it wrong?"

"No." Xie Xuan said.

"Then why is she... oh my god!"

He Yun could hardly control the volume, because the things in the other box were too astonishing.

"This is Kunsong?" Minister Tobe stared at the box of pure white granules, and couldn't believe his eyes.When he asked the question, he tried his best to look like he had seen a big scene, but he still couldn't control the surprise in his voice.

"No, it's not." He Yun couldn't help taking a step forward, "This is Fei Yunsha."

Now even Xie Xuan was startled.

The big-eyed princess also raised her head and gave He Yun a straight look.

The emperor asked: "Fei Yunsha?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Kunsong and Feiyun are as white as snow, with distinct grains." He Yun moved away, and the sunlight came in from outside the hall, covering the crimson cloud sand in this box.

"Your Majesty, look," he said, "under the sunlight, the scarlet cloud is shimmering with vermilion. If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to distinguish."

The tone of his words was as usual, as if he was just popularizing knowledge that ordinary people don't know.But in Xie Xuan's eyes, that tone was mixed with an excitement that had been restrained hard, an excitement that was like a treasure.

The Great Wei Dynasty was unique in its firearms manufacturing skills, and the raw materials for this firearms production were also divided into grades.Kunsong has already been regarded as the treasure of He Sui in the raw materials, and Feiyun is simply a rare treasure.

"May I ask a question?" He Yun said, "Excuse me, how many are there in the post?"
