Chapter 90 Lively Market
"It's broken again? Sister, it's broken again!"

Youting looked shocked, at a loss, and almost collapsed.

I took the ornament and looked carefully at the broken part. After just one glance, I gave it to Prince Yi with a cold snort.

Prince Yi saw the mystery at a glance, raised his hand and handed it to Zhong Ming, saying in a deep voice: "It's a small trick, at least you can do it more decently."

Zhong Ming took a look at it, walked to the middle of the crowd, held up the ornament and said loudly:

"You are all in the business world. Let's take a look at the fracture. It is neat, smooth, and dark in color. If you break it with your bare hands, it will look like this!"

Before he finished speaking, he used his thumbs to break off the other symmetrical end of the antler ornament. The broken end was sharp and uneven, and the milky white color was completely different from the other end.

Everyone was whispering and not in an uproar. It seemed that such tricks were not surprising, but they were just designed to trick laymen.

"General Cheng, please take a look." Zhong Ming held up the ornament with both hands.

After Vice General Cheng took it, he threw it to the Mongolian stall, clasped his fists in his hands, knelt down and saluted Prince Yi:

"The last general, Cheng Qi, has met with King Yi. Since the prince is here, I would like to ask him to make a decision on today's matter."

When everyone heard that the Sixth Prince Daying was here, they all knelt down on the ground, and those of us accompanying him had to kneel down too.

Prince Yi stretched out his hand to help me up and ordered everyone to stand up. Others kept their voices quiet and did not dare to express their anger.

Wei Youting, who had never experienced anything before, turned around and stared at me in surprise.

I pursed my lips and smiled lightly at him, and warned him with my eyes before he lowered his eyes.

Prince Yi said in a clear tone: "The Mongolian and Han peoples have good relations with each other, and each has its own advantages. Thanks to the great grace of God, we promise trade. If there is nothing, then the reconciliation will be long-lasting, and both the Chinese and the Yi can benefit. It is the first time for all merchants to participate." , it should be more important to keep the market, and business should be based on trust. Now this is a blatant provocation. As a punishment, this person will not be allowed to enter the market for three years, and I will apologize to this young man in public."

Meng Shang had a gloomy look on his face. After dilly-dallying for a while, he reluctantly walked up to Youting and said angrily, "I was wrong. I lied to you."

Youting said: "I didn't break that thing of yours!"

The man held back his anger and said, "Yes, you didn't break it."

"You broke it yourself!"

"I broke it myself."

I laughed secretly and turned to look at Youting, feeling that he was so stubborn at this time that it was adorable.

Youting thought for a moment and then said, "I didn't hit you! You were about to do it, but I stopped you."

The vendor was already impatient. In front of everyone, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "I did it, you didn't, okay?"

"not good!"

With a scolding sound, several strong Mongolian men and young maidservants came over surrounded by Sudiya.

Youting had never seen a Mongolian woman before, and Sudiya was not an ordinary woman. She was bright-looking, with luxurious and elegant headdresses, and she came over with jingling rings. Youting stared at her blankly.

I patted Youting lightly and shook my head slightly at him before he lowered his head again.

Sudiya bowed to Prince Yi, walked to the field, and said loudly: "We grassland tribes live in pursuit of water and grass, rely on the sky for food, and migrate all the year round. Winter is coming now. Do you have enough clothes in your tent?" To keep out the cold? Is there food to cook? Is there salt to eat? I, the princess, and Anda Khan fought for the lives of the whole family. If you came here to trade today, there would be such a despicable and shameless person. If he were to be ruined today The rules will ruin the food, drink, and clothing of each tribe in the future! Come on! Cut off his tongue and chop off his hands for me to sacrifice to the market!"

As soon as she gave the order, a strong man stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, using his scimitar, and blood spurted out.

My vision went dark, and I fell into Prince Yi's arms.

A shrill scream came from the ears, and then someone covered the ears.

As I walked back, I was still in shock.Seeing that Linghua and Youting were also pale and in despair, they had to cheer up.

I held Linghua in one hand and Youting in the other, forcing myself to calm down and said: "Linghua, I remember you said that your ancestors are from Fujian. It just so happens that my younger brother lives in Fujian. Please tell me, what is the family background of your family?" Where are you from Fujian?"

Linghua mentioned the place, and Youting had no choice but to respond. Listening to the two of them talking about the unfamiliar place names, I breathed a sigh of relief and listened intently to the voices in front of me.

Vice General Cheng smiled and said: "The young master reacted very quickly. As soon as the Mongolian man made a move, before the prince's bodyguard could react, the young master stretched out his hand to hold the Mongolian man. He was able to control the Mongolian man neatly. He can't even move at all, hahaha, I think that young master is tall and strong, if he goes to the battlefield, he will be a rare expert!"

Prince Yi didn't answer, he turned back and looked at me with a smile.

Vice General Cheng also looked back at me. Perhaps he remembered that Prince Yi had held me in his arms in public just now. He looked very embarrassed and coughed slightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

I took a step forward, lowered my eyes and whispered softly: "Thanks to the general's love, my younger brother is still young, only 13 years old, and he only has a little strength."

Prince Yi said loudly: "Youting's courage just now can be called a young hero. As a sister, you are too humble. Youting, come on -"

Youting was whispering to Linghua about what they had seen in Fujian. When they heard the summons from Prince Yi, they were stunned for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "What did the prince want me to do?"

Prince Yi put his arms around his shoulders, behaved affectionately, and said with a smile: "General Cheng praised you for your bravery just now. If you go into battle to kill the enemy and you are not inferior to the general, do you dare?"

My heart skipped a beat, as if a wisp of my mother's soul was attached to me.

In the past, I wished that Youting would be brave and fearless and be a good man on the battlefield.

But I remembered how my mother used to do everything possible to protect her son from being drafted into the army.

You Ting, mediocrity means no great potential. As long as you live a peaceful life, get a wife and have children, that's enough.

"Your Majesty—" I lost my voice.

"Juanyun." Prince Yi responded with a smile, walked to me, and said warmly, "I see your face has changed, but you just praised Youting with General Cheng. Whether you want to join the army or not depends on Youting himself. Did you really ask him to go? Besides, joining the army, isn’t it so easy?”

Just as he was talking, there was only a "crack" sound. Deputy General Cheng didn't know what he was talking to Youting. Youting was holding Deputy General Cheng's sword in his hand, looking at it with envy, and said: "This sword, So sharp."

Vice General Cheng laughed "haha", pointed to the bushes nearby and said, "Try it!"

I glared at Prince Yi. He looked calm, walked towards me, and whispered: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Even if you are his sister, you can't restrain him."

At this time, only a voice was heard saying: "The common people have met Prince Yi and General Cheng!"

What a coincidence, I met so many acquaintances when I went to the market.

Mr. Jiang, a wealthy businessman from the north, walked over with a smile, bowed to Prince Yi and Deputy General Cheng, and said with a smile: "It is rare for these two officials to come together to inspect the market. The tents of the grassroots are in front. Please come and have a cup of thin tea." "

The wind picked up, my face felt cold, and snow started to fall again.

I wrapped my cloak around me and looked down at my sleeves with half interest.

Then I heard Prince Yi say: "We are tired today, let's wait another day. General Cheng still needs to stay here, so go and sit with Mr. Jiang. Oh, speaking of him, General Cheng should know that he raised food and grass in the first place. It was Mr. Jiang who was so righteous that he inspired all the wealthy businessmen to donate money and food."

Vice General Cheng raised his hand to Jiang Chujie and said, "On behalf of the brothers from Yehuling, I would like to thank Mr. Jiang!"

"General Cheng's words are serious, and Jiang cannot bear them. This is just our desire to serve the country. All the soldiers have sacrificed their lives for the great mission, how can we just sit back and enjoy the results? To be honest, Jiang also used the mutual market to donate materials this time. Plan, please ask Vice General Cheng to record the specific matters."

Prince Yi sighed: "Since Mr. Jiang has such a heart, I will also contribute. I will send [-] Mongolian horses, [-] cattle and sheep each, and [-] loads of military supplies and medicinal materials to the soldiers of Yehuling." Ming, you are responsible for finding Mongolian merchants to purchase."

Vice General Cheng's expression was shocked. He bowed to Prince Yi and said solemnly, "General and all the officers and men, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prince Yi!"
