Sima Ru grinned: "No, no, it's just..."
He smiled bitterly and looked around: "Look, how many people are looking here. I am also thinking about the safety of the two of you..."
Jiang Fan waved his hand carelessly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I think the people of Jian'an are very enthusiastic. Look, this fur is given a 50% discount, which is generous. This wine is also given as a gift. How hospitable it is."
As he spoke, he even waved and said hello to everyone with a smile on his face.
Sima Ru looked helpless. This guy is just a skinny monkey.
The empress looked at Sima Ru and said, "Master, the King of Wei invites you to accompany him, your method is quite clever."
Sima Ru sighed and said: "It is my honor to receive you two."
Jiang Fan laughed and said, "I think it's your fault."
Sima Ru said seriously: "The one who is upset is the king."
"He deserves it!" Jiang Fan snorted: "Some things have to be paid for."
Sima Ru said: "The king also said something similar."
Jiang Fan said with a smile: "As expected of the King of Wei, heroes have the same views."
Sima Ru said: "Yes, yes, the king also feels that His Highness should be anxious to meet someone..."
Jiang Fan glanced at the empress from the corner of his eyes and snorted: "Okay, stop stirring up trouble. Without my wife's consent, do you think I dare?"
Sima Ru immediately said: "Your Majesty is very generous."
Jiang Fan smiled coldly: "I'm stingy. King Wei, after all, he is the father-in-law-to-be. Why do you expect your daughter to be a widow?"
"Sima Ru can't understand what the prince is saying. However, my Man'er is a saint of the Wei Kingdom, and it is unlikely that she will be a widow."
Jiang Fan glared: "Old man, you are looking for trouble."
Sima Ru chuckled and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, you must be very anxious too, after all... I'm afraid you have never seen someone pregnant for such a long time..."
When he said this, Jiang Fan frowned and remained silent for a long time.
Sima Ru said: "Now that Dengzhou is enfeoffed, and Dengzhou is close to Yuzhou, Man'er is very safe there. Why don't you go and visit?"
Jiang Fan snorted: "Hurry me to leave, okay, I'll give you face."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I know that Your Majesty is impatient, so I won't entertain you."
"You're welcome. I'm just borrowing a way to return to Qin. After all, I'm still on the territory of your Wei State. It's not safe to stay there. I'll take my leave now."
After speaking, he pointed to the table and said, "It's your fault."
Sima Ru's expression fell: "Your Majesty, this meal costs ten guan, and I don't have much left in my monthly salary..."
"Ah?" Jiang Fan was surprised: "You, the majestic Master Wei, are so poor?"
Sima Ru sighed: "I lent it to senior brother..."
Jiang Fan's eyes moved slightly: "Senior brother? First senior brother, second senior brother?"
Sima Ru was stunned: "My lord... you know a lot..."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "What a big deal, isn't he a disciple of Master Wenren?"
"This... few people know..." Sima Ru's eyes were deep.
Jiang Fan said: "Few people know it, but there are still people who know it. I am one of them. Tell me, which senior brother is it?"
"Second senior brother."
"Old Man Canling?"
Sima Ru's eyes flashed: "You really know."
Jiang Fan lowered his head and pondered: "Why would he ask you to borrow money? It shouldn't be. Canngling and Shushan both have many valuable ancient books, and they also have the support of King Xiang..."
Sima Ru shook his head: "No, although the ancient books in Shushan and Canngling are extremely valuable, they are reluctant to sell them. And their father and daughter have never been good at managing finances, but they are not rich. And this time, neither is it. It is convenient to borrow money from the King of Chu."
Jiang Fan was immediately interested: "What is going on? Tell me."
Sima Ru shook his head: "My own business, my own business..."
Jiang Fan suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Huh? By the way, I heard that Grand Master Wenren might go to Canngling. Could it be that..."
Sima Ru was surprised: "You know all this?"
Jiang Fan said: "It seems that it is really for this."
Sima Ru looked at him in disbelief: "It's really news, but yes, my master heard that Zhongda is going to Canngling. Our brothers and sisters have not seen our master for decades, and we miss him so much, so we have to work together to help our family." The teacher is giving you a big gift, so..."
Jiang Fan clapped his hands: "Tell me, when? I'll treat you to this meal."
Sima Ru frowned: "What does the prince want?"
Jiang Fan said: "Don't think too much. You should have heard from your second senior brother that I once asked him to interpret an ancient book. Because of this, isn't Master Wenren the most proficient in ancient writing in the world?"
"Seriously?" Sima Ru was still a little doubtful.
Jiang Fan said: "There is no doubt that that book is very important to me. Besides, I have no grievances with the Grand Master. He is a senior master I respect, and he is still in Cangling, Chu State. What can I do? I am simply If you want to visit, please visit Da Xian publicly.”
After hearing what he said, Sima Ru thought for a moment: "I hope the prince won't lie about this matter. Well, my master will come to Canngling at the end of the year."
Jiang Fan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Imperial Master."
With this news and the fact that he was worried about Xiao Hong, Jiang Fan had no intention of continuing this prank and immediately returned to camp with the Empress.
The empress was a little curious and asked him what ancient books were so important.
Jiang Fan just said that he got it from the White Wolf God's lair in Northern Xinjiang, thinking that it might be of great use.
The empress seemed to think it was related to the secrets of the barbarians in northern Xinjiang, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Dengzhou is close to Yuzhou and is the capital of the state along the Canglan River. It has become a prosperous place relying on convenient water transportation.
Especially since the second prince Cao Zijian took charge, the trade exchanges between Dengzhou, Yuzhou and the Qin State have become more and more frequent, and it has been promoted to a water transport hub from the Western Qin Dynasty to the Northern Wei Dynasty. As a result, the people have become increasingly wealthy and the city has gradually prospered.
Now, the second prince, who was kind-hearted by nature and won the hearts of the people of Dengzhou, was canonized as Marquis of Wendeng and truly became the lord of Dengzhou. When the news came, the officials and people of Dengzhou were all happy and excited.
In particular, Cao Zijian exempted him from taxes for one year, which won widespread praise. Later, he mobilized Huo Ziying, one of the four major camps of the Wei State, to garrison. The public security was unprecedentedly good. The official roads were busy with traffic and the people were smiling. It was a peaceful scene. A scene of prosperity.
"You have a share of the credit for these." The empress said slowly, looking at her from a distance.
Jiang Fan sighed: "The world is uncertain, and all prosperity is illusory. And sooner or later, everything will be broken..."
"It will be you and me." The Empress said calmly.
Jiang Fan shook his head: "No...it's you and I who want to end illusion and create reality."
A trace of relief actually flashed in Empress Feng's eyes: "Go ahead... I know you are itching and unbearable, and I also want to know what you are pregnant with and you haven't been able to give birth for a year and a half."
"It's a human being, it must be a human being." Jiang Fan grinned.
The empress glanced at him: "Maybe it's a demon."
Jiang Fan rubbed his eyebrows, smiled bitterly, and jumped out of the car.
The army took the road, and the whole city didn't seem very panicked. After all, they just passed here not long ago. At that time, everyone was really silent. But after experiencing it, and knowing that their master had a good relationship with the Qin State, the people also Not so cautious anymore.
