The bag of jewels was kept safely in the hands of the bodyguard behind him who looked upright, like a dashing swordsman. Xiao Zi then took it behind the gauze curtain for Gong Yueyue to look at. Those colorful jewels
, they are indeed high-quality goods, and you can already see it with a quick glance. Looking at the two people standing outside the gauze tent calmly, Gong Yueyue thought for a while, and then wrote down what he thought in his heart.
He put the piece of paper on the paper, then waved to Xiao Zi and handed the piece of paper to her calmly.
After Xiao Zi glanced at the paper carefully, she turned back and started talking to the merchant.
Even though he was behind the gauze curtain, he could clearly see that from the moment the gauze curtain was lifted, the businessman's inquiring eyes had been peeking inside. He probably didn't gain anything, and his eyes were slightly
Some feelings of disappointment emerged, and then his attention shifted. While responding to Xiao Zi's words, he looked at Xiao Zi's hands.
But if he could understand the content on that piece of paper, then there might be a ghost in the world. Watching the scene calmly, Gong Yueyue in the tent smiled without nervousness.
Those words can be said to be unique to her, similar to Morse code. I think it took half a month to get Xiao Zi, a little confused, to remember them by heart.
The few lines written on it are naturally nothing. They are just asking her to execute them according to the original plan. She is not stupid to that extent, and Xiao Zi has not disappointed her. She has practiced those words countless times in the past.
The vocabulary was recited one by one.
Even when she says certain words, she always pauses, and several words are blurred... But for them foreigners, it is not normal to speak Xiongnu so fluently.
What.
Looking at the merchant's reaction, he nodded in agreement with Xiao Zi from time to time. He had obviously given up the idea of studying astronomy. Since his secret inspection failed, the middle-aged man did not dare to look there again.
She listened to the maid's words with a very serious look. She smiled and said: "If the merchant is also interested, please come back on the fifteenth of this month. As for those things, thank you for the kindness of the merchant. It's just my princess."
don't want."
"No? Why? But the princess is not satisfied with these jewels?" The middle-aged man, who had not yet responded to the maid's warm invitation, looked suspicious and asked hurriedly when he heard that she did not accept the jewels.
"No," the maid with a calm face shook her head. "The merchant's jewelry is perfect, and the princess also likes it. It's just that our princess has gotten too much of this kind of thing."
With that said, the maid turned around and walked back regardless of the middle-aged man's reaction.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised by the dull reaction of her master and servant who didn't want to pocket those precious jewels, or buy them directly, but it also gave him an opportunity. Looking at the resolute back of the maid, Zhong
The young man seized the opportunity and changed his previous calmness into a big show, and looked behind the gauze tent casually, looking very curious.
Of course, who wouldn't be curious about an unheard-of princess from another country?
But their purpose of coming here is not so much to see if there is any business to be done, but rather to inquire about information.
Letting Xiao Zi take back the substantial package of jewelry, Gong Yueyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and scanned the two people behind the gauze tent with a deep gaze.
This man with a mediocre appearance but a bit of honesty does indeed look like an ordinary businessman.
If you ignore his big hands, which he said were born in an official family and should have been pampered, but are now covered with a thick layer of calluses, and the person who seems to be guarding his side,
In fact, she had been warning him with dangerous eyes, and her whole body exuded a murderous aura that was so strong that she couldn't restrain it.
It was a pity that these details that should not have been discovered were noticed by her from the beginning. However, this cannot be blamed on her being too vigilant. It has been so long since the last time she posted notices in the city with great fanfare.
days, during which only the master and servant stepped into this place... Not to mention that under such a premise, just because of their weird behavior, it is impossible for them to be as small as a small businessman.
Simple.
It had been calm before and no merchant came to visit her. Although it gave her enough time to prepare, it was also a sign of danger.
After all, once such a deception is targeted by a slightly powerful and interested person, all her whereabouts will be exposed without much effort. So all she can do at the moment is to deal with such a tragedy.
Before it happens, let yourself become mysterious, even more mysterious...
Her dark eyes looked at the young man with a determined expression calmly.
There was no blame in her anxious tone. Instead, she was simply worried about Gong Yueyue.
"Don't be anxious." Gong Yueyue said calmly as she looked at Xiao Zi who was wholeheartedly doing good for her.
And she succeeded in wiping out Xiao Zi's unspoken words and uneasy emotions with just a shake of her head and a word.
Yes, my sister always does things for a reason... not to mention that even if I am in a hurry, I can't be in a hurry...
Looking at Xiao Zi who lowered her head in despair, Gong Yueyue's eyes flashed with tenderness. No one knew what she was worried about better than her.
Just when the businessman who claimed to be here to discuss a business deal with her, but who was showing clues and trying to please her, left, she suddenly spoke.
Of course, she wasn't stupid enough to say something she shouldn't have said and ruin all her plans. It was just a few simple words of blessing, with an extremely pure Hun accent.
This is an ancient time with feudal ideas, and there is no theory of strong women. As a noble princess of a country, when you come to an unknown country, even if you are going to carry out a big event, you don't have to take the trouble to learn the local language.
...But what if it’s a fake princess?
I am glad that Xiao Zi, who has always been confused, was keenly aware of this and knew that they would definitely become suspicious.
However, she just wanted to deliberately arouse their suspicion...
Because in this world, nothing can be a better channel to 'supervise' you than the eyes of people who question you.
Of course, her plan went far beyond this. But to this businessman who knew nothing about the details, she acted like a blank wolf.
He turned his head sideways, looked at the splendid house, and let out a faint sigh. Unknowingly, his eyes became a little sharper, and he stared straight ahead.
Anyway, this plan has been a gamble from the beginning. (To be continued)
