Ziying did prepare five boxes of money, but he didn't like being threatened, especially by his subordinates.

What the king gives you is yours. If the king doesn’t give it to you, you have no right to ask for it.

When Lu Jia saw that Ziying was silent, he stood up and came to the three boxes.

"Commander Yang, King Qin probably just came to Lantian Pass to visit the soldiers. He probably didn't bring anything with him. Please allow me to introduce to the commander Pei Gong's thoughts."

It's meaningless to just give something rare, but Yang Hu doesn't know why it's precious.

Ziying frowned. It turned out that this person's surname was also Yang, and he was very close to Yang Chen. Judging from Yang Chen's reaction just now, it seemed that he already knew the situation on Yang Hu's side, so... why didn't you tell him earlier?

Yang Hu smiled and said, "I have long been tired of guarding the surrounding stone mountains and stone walls. What I like most is this white wall and beautiful jade. Mr. Lu Jia, please tell me."

Lu Jia nodded and picked up a piece of green round jade, "This piece is produced in the Yan State. It is simple, gentle, round and delicate, as green as lake water. There are many famous people in Yan and Zhao. This jade also has the style of Yan and Zhao, among the jade stones

Definitely worthy of top quality.”

"Although Pei Gong has good intentions, I am a martial artist. Yan and Zhao are too elegant. This jade is not suitable for my taste." Yang Hu narrowed his eyes and said critically.

Lu Jia was speechless for a moment.

Ziying looked over curiously, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that Commander Yang was extremely capable of showing off his dignity. He could find faults with Xiuyu, one of the four ancient jades.

Li Shiqi took over Lu Jia's words and said, "It seems that Commander Yang is as crazy as me. I have long said that Xiuyu from Yan is not suitable for leadership."

Li Shiqi picked out a slightly transparent long jade stone and said, "This is the Dushan jade that Pei Gong specially found from Nanyang County for the commander. It is hard in texture and can pass through the light of the sun and the moon. The commander refused to guard the Pass. It is as strong as the jade."

, If you sincerely surrender to Pei Gong, you will also be like this."

Yang Hu's eyes lit up, he took the Dushan Jade, rubbed it in his hands and played with it, "This jade is very good, very good! Thank you, Mr. Pei Gong and Mr. Li for their hard work. This is what I want!"

Lu Jia and Li Shiqi exchanged glances. Over the past few days, it seemed that Yang Hu was definitely a greedy person. To be able to make him so excited, the matter of entering the customs was more than half successful.

"Pei Gong has always been so meticulous, unlike King Qin who only knows how to make his men work hard." Li Shiqi said provocatively.

"The jade I brought here can make all the beautiful jade you two have become dull, so let's let you show your shame first." Ziying said disdainfully.

Li Shiqi blew his beard and said, "Hmph! King Qin is still talking big words at this time. I really admire him."

In order to make sure nothing goes wrong, Li Shiqi decided to add fuel to the fire, "Does the commander recognize this piece of beautiful jade?"

The sky-blue jade mass immediately caught Yang Hu's attention.

Yang Hu reached out to grab it, bumped it on his cheek, and said in surprise, "The color of this jade is very strange, and its hardness is not inferior to Dushan Jade. What kind of treasure is this?"

Li Shiqi looked proud, "The commander is really a Chu man. He doesn't like things from Yan and Zhao. The only thing he likes are these two things from Chu. The name of this jade is Nanlang Skeleton, which comes from the northwest of Chu.

If you have the chance, Commander Yang can go find one in person."

"Nan Lang Zhu? Good stuff!"

The two lobbyists chatted happily with Yang Hu, while Ziying watched quietly from the side without any panic.

Yang Hu put the Dushan Jade and Nanlang Stalk on the table and looked at it carefully. He let out a long breath of satisfaction and said, "If the king really comes empty-handed, I'm afraid the Aoguan Pass will be changed from Qin to Chu."

.”

Li Shiqi drank a glass of wine and laughed wildly and said, "Qin is known for its bitterness. The Qin Feng poem "No Clothes" in "Poetry" told the commander a long time ago, "How can I say that I have no clothes, and I share the same robe with you?" , two people wearing the same clothes, what good things can they come up with, hahahaha."

"Ascending Kunlun, I eat jade maidens, and live as long as the heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon." Ziying slowly opened his mouth and chanted.

Li Shiqi's smile suddenly stopped. Zi Ying, who lived in Xianyang, actually knew the poem of Mi Ping, a nobleman of Chu State. And this poem of Mi Ping praised a kind of unparalleled jade, which was not included in their bribes.

"King Qin is really willing to bring that kind of jade?" Lu Jia asked doubtfully.

Ziying smiled disdainfully, "How can the chief of Shili Pavilion be willing to part with the beautiful jade in Chu State? As a monarch, how can I be so reluctant to part with Qin State?"

Yang Hu was puzzled, but looking at the faces of Lu Jia and Li Shiqi, he knew that the value of that thing was far beyond his imagination.

"Your Majesty, what kind of jade is it?" Yang Hu was a little anxious.

"The moon in the sea sheds tears, and the warm sun in Lantian produces smoke." Ziying chuckled, "What is it? Commander Yang can just ask someone to bring it up."

"Quickly, quickly, move the things in the king's carriage over here!" Yang Hu urged.

The soldiers ran out of the gate. Li Shiqi and Lu Jia were worried, praying that Ziying was just bluffing. If Ziying really brought the jade, their plan would be ruined.

Ziying closed his eyes, his heart still as if water had stopped.

The national jade of the hot summer is not just a name for nothing. To be able to bear the title of national jade is to make other people of the same kind look shameless in the same room.

Yang Hu was full of expectation and kept looking at Guanloukou. It seemed like a long time passed before the soldier finally brought a small box.

"Did the king only bring this small box?" Yang Hu frowned.

"This small box is enough." Ziying said calmly.

Yang Hu took the box, and Li Shiqi and Lu Jia couldn't help but step forward to watch.

The box was slowly opened, and a milky white jade ring was quietly placed inside. The light was soft, delicate and unpretentious, and Yang Hu's eyes were a little straightened.

"This is mutton fat and field jade, produced in Lantian, Qin Dynasty."

As soon as "Da Qin Lan Tian" was spoken, Li Shiqi and Lu Jia glanced at each other subconsciously.

Lantian was originally the land of Chu. King Huai of Chu was deceived by Zhang Yi. The entire country attacked Qin and almost invaded Xianyang. This was also the biggest crisis for Qin.

However, Han and Wei took the opportunity to sneak attack Chu, and King Huai had to retreat.

When the two heroes of Qin and Chu were fighting for hegemony in the West, it was because of Han and Wei's rebellion that the Qin State's status was established. The Chu State failed to recover, and Lantian was later ceded to the Qin State.

Lu Jia was from Chu, and Li Shiqi was from Wei.

Ziying did it smoothly to make Liu Bang's subordinates who cooperated with him tacitly abandon him.

Yang Hu stretched out his hand to take out the Hetian Jade. He stopped just as he was about to touch the Hetian Jade, closed the box in ecstasy and held it in his arms.

Li Shiqi was the first to come to his senses and said anxiously, "Don't you, the commander, like hard jade? This piece is too soft and not worthy of the commander at all."

"Regardless of whether it is soft jade or hard jade, this is the one that I am most proud of now, and the others are no longer attractive to me!" Yang Hu was overjoyed.

"This... you..." Li Shiqi was filled with anger. Liu Bang had only saved some money after passing the customs. The most valuable items were all used as bribes for the last hurdle. Regardless of success or failure, there was no way to get the money back. .

"What do you mean, Commander Yi Yang, has chosen to guard the border?" Lu Jia asked with a frown.

"At least I don't know how to turn on and off now. Who asked you to bring some mortal items?" Yang Hu said slyly.

These days, Li Shiqi and Lu Jia kept giving Yang Hu favors and often drank together. They never imagined that they would get such a result.

"Okay, let's just wait and see." Li Shiqi trembled and rushed out of the door.

Lu Jia suppressed his anger and gave Yang Hu a meaningful look, "Commander, I and Mr. Li will leave first. If you change your mind, you only need to hang the totem flag of Chu State on the gate tower. Everything can still be discussed. After all.

..”

"I know, everything is easy to discuss." Yang Hu showed a greedy expression.
