Chapter 781 Suyuan Country, Xingzhou

Quan Qingfan was almost so angry that he got internal injuries. "Yaoyao, did you really say that?"

Ye Wenyan was also a little embarrassed. "Well, maybe I did say that! I was quite naughty when I was a kid, but after all, many years have passed and I can't remember clearly. If I really said that, then I will apologize to the Fifth Prince today."

Quan Qingfan immediately waved his hand, "Children speak without restraint, you don't have to apologize to me. Yaoyao, I don't care about the past, I only care about why you don't call me Xiao Jiu anymore? I don't want to hear you call me the Fifth Prince."

Ye Wenyan said: "Since I know you are the Fifth Prince, how can I keep calling you Xiao Jiu."

At this time, Ye Feizhou finally said something that Quan Qingfan liked to hear: "You should still call him Xiao Jiuba, just like he calls you Yaoyao. When we go out, we can't expose our true identity to others."

Ye Wenyan thought about it and agreed, so he didn't bother about it anymore. Instead, he told the two of them the purpose of their trip to Su Yuan and the five-colored stone.

……

One and a half months later, Suyuan, Xingzhou.

Xingzhou is the first city of Suyuan State adjacent to Northern Qi. Because it is adjacent to Northern Qi, the name of this city is also quite similar to the place name of Northern Qi.

Quan Qingfan said: "There are only six cities in the whole Suyuan, including a capital. When Xingzhou was named, the old officials of Suyuan said that this name was not good. It didn't sound like a city of Suyuan, but rather like a city of Northern Qi. Some people even said that this name would save Northern Qi trouble. In the future, when they invade Suyuan, they don't even need to change the name of the city, they can just use it directly.

But in fact, after so many years, Northern Qi has never thought of invading Suyuan, or in other words, Northern Qi has never actively invaded any country. Even if they occupied the Qiuhu Kingdom, it was because Qiuhu took the initiative to invade and had to take it back. "

Several people got off the carriage outside Xingzhou City. The driver was borrowed from Ruyi Pavilion when they were in Chiyun City. The people in Ruyi Pavilion knew Ye Wenyan's identity, so they lent the driver and the carriage very happily and even gave him a lot of money.

Ye Feizhou had sneaked into the city yesterday and bought a few sets of Su Yuanren's clothes. After changing their clothes, they looked like Su Yuanren. Especially when Ye Wenyan put on her veil, she really looked like a desert woman.

When Quan Qingfan mentioned Qiuhu Kingdom, Ye Wenyan asked, "Is Qiuhu next to Su Yuan?"

Quan Qingfan said, "Actually, they are not close to each other. Qiuhu is in the desert, and Suyuan is just on the edge of the desert. Only two cities are in the desert, and the other four cities are still on the periphery. But Qiuhu and Suyuan are not in a straight line. The two countries are staggered. They are close, but not close to each other. So after Northern Qi took over Qiuhu, it did not have much impact on Suyuan." While the two were talking, Ye Feizhou was already looking at the stalls along the street. The things sold in places like Suyuan are also different from those in Northern Qi. The street stalls in Northern Qi mostly sell embroidered handkerchiefs, rouge and powder, and wooden hairpins. Suyuan sells mostly spices of different flavors, small batik items, and gems of various colors.

It's just that the things sold on the street stalls are of poor quality and cheap, and are bought by ordinary people for fun. This is consistent with the Northern Qi Dynasty, where good things can only be found in regular shops.

Ye Feizhou looked all the way, frowning more and more. When he came back, he said to Ye Wenyan: "The desert is rich in gems, of all colors. Although the gems sold in the street stalls are all low-quality gems, it is not difficult to see that such things are very common in Suyuan. Not to mention purple stones, other colored stones are also everywhere. Although this provides us with many conveniences in finding colorful stones, such as not being easily discovered by others, it also increases our difficulty.

There are so many gems, how can we know which one is the one we are looking for? "

Quan Qingfan said, "What we are looking for must be different from what is sold on the street. I'm afraid we have to go to Suyuan to have a look."

As we were talking, we suddenly heard a stall owner in front of us arguing with someone. The noise was getting louder and louder, and many people gathered over.

The three of them also went forward to see what was happening, because they heard the accent of the party in the dispute sounded like someone from the Central Plains area of Northern Qi.

The stall sold batik, but they were all small items, the largest of which was just a square blanket.

The Central Plains man said, "I exchanged half a pound of tea with you for batik. We agreed that such a large blanket could be exchanged for fifteen yuan. Why did you only give me two yuan and want to send me away? Did you take my half a pound of tea for nothing?"

The stall owner of Suyuan snorted coldly, "People from the Central Plains, open your eyes and look. This is Suyuan, not your Northern Qi. My Suyuan batik is unique in the world. Only when you come to this place can you see real batik fabric. If you take this kind of thing back to your Northern Qi, even the concubines in the palace will fight for it. How can you only get 15 yuan for half a pound of tea? Is your tea made of gold? Even if it is made of gold, our Suyuan batik is more valuable than your Northern Qi's gold!"

The stall owner laughed loudly after he finished speaking, pointed at the Zhongyuan man's nose and cursed in a very strong Suyuan accent: "Northern Qi dog!"

The people of Zhongyuan were very angry, but they couldn't do anything about him, because this was Suyuan, and the other side had a hundred people to respond to, while he only had two servants with him. One of the servants reminded him: "Master, forget it, let's take a little loss, at least we have two pieces, and these two pieces of cloth can be sold for a lot of silver."

As a result, the stall owner Su Yuan heard this and immediately regretted it: "What do you mean by two pieces? There are not two pieces, but only one piece, and it's not this big piece, it's the small one." He pointed to the side, and the Central Plains man looked in the direction of his finger, and his nose was almost crooked with anger. What is that called? It's as big as a handkerchief, what is that called?

"I won't change it!" He stretched out his hand to grab back his tea leaves, "You Suyuan people have no integrity, you are simply robbing people."

"What's wrong with robbing you? I'm going to rob you today, what can you do to me?" The stall owner stretched out his hand and pushed the man from Zhongyuan, and immediately a group of people from Suyuan surrounded him, and the tea was naturally collected.

The people in the Central Plains were bullied. Not only did they not get a piece of batik, but they also lost half a pound of the best tea.

Moreover, Su Yuanren said, "Don't think we don't know anything. You people in the Central Plains are particular about Mingqian tea. Now it's winter, and the people of Northern Qi have just celebrated the New Year, right? Where can we get good tea in this season? They are all old tea from last year. You use old tea to fool me, do you think Su Yuanren doesn't know anything? Humph, relying on the emperor, Northern Qi has always been high and mighty, and didn't take any country seriously. But now your emperor has died in the shoreless sea, and you people in Northern Qi have no backing. If a fight really breaks out, who will win and who will lose is still unknown!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Wenyan's heart skipped a beat. How did the news about Shi Liyuan reach Su Yuan? There was obviously no movement in the territory of Northern Qi, so how did the people of Su Yuan know everything?

Ye Feizhou and Quan Qingfan were also surprised. The three of them looked at each other, all of them were confused.

Later, Quan Qingfan whispered, "Wu'anhai is a frontier fortress. Although Beiqi has a large number of troops stationed there, spies from other countries have never given up monitoring that place. Perhaps when the blizzard was still there, the spies had already lurked in Chiyun City and Haixian Town. The scene of the battle between Lord Emperor and the big monster was also seen by them. Afterwards, I only had time to block the fishermen in Haixian Town, but I was unable to catch the spies one by one. Thinking about it this way, it is possible that the news leaked.

But this puts Northern Qi in a very awkward situation. Just like that person said, without the emperor, it would be difficult for Northern Qi to maintain its current dominance. Even though it is still the largest country in terms of territory and population, isn't there a Guiyue next to it? Guiyue is not much different from Northern Qi.

Now the people of Suyuan know the news, but the people of Beiqi are not mentally prepared. Once they are attacked, it will be a very troublesome thing. "He said here and looked at Ye Feizhou, "When the second young master Ye came out, did you tell the emperor about what happened here?" Ye Feizhou nodded, "I did, and the letter from the fifth prince was handed over to the emperor, but the emperor is not in charge of the government after all, so he dare not disclose this matter to the regent. Now there is only the third prince in Beijing to hold the fort, and I don't know if he can suppress it."

He also showed his worry when he said this. If Ye Wenyan hadn't been in trouble, he would never have left Lin'an City at this critical moment. Although the emperor was ambitious and wanted to deal with all this by himself, he really couldn't rest assured.

Quan Qingfan looked at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, "I heard in the past that the two generals of the Ye family were devoted to the country, and I also heard that no one in the second branch of the Ye family was promising. I didn't expect that the second young master Ye has always had Northern Qi in his heart. I can see the shadow of General Ye in you. It's a pity..." It's a pity that you are not General Ye's grandson.

He kept this in his heart but never said it, but he really admired Ye Feizhou. Apart from anything else, the fact that he could practice martial arts that were the best in the world was enough to make many people admire him.

"Don't worry." He reached out and patted Ye Feizhou on the shoulder twice, "You have to trust Third Brother. After all, he was the only one among our group of princes who could compete with Old Six."

Ye Feizhou was still unsure, but now was not the time to discuss this. The Su Yuan people had already surrounded the three Central Plains people. Not only did they refuse to give them batik and return the tea, they were even trying to snatch their bags.

Ye Wenyan was angry and picked up a petal. He didn't know what the stall owner Su Yuan was talking about, but he suddenly bit his tongue. He bit it quite hard and bit off half of his tongue.

People watched as the man who was fine just now suddenly had half of his tongue fall out of his mouth. They all panicked for a moment. They didn't care about snatching the Central Plains people anymore, and all surrounded the half of the tongue.
