The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 287 Assassination
Western Portugal is rich in horses. Since the previous dynasty, it has exchanged trade with the Central Plains and made a living by exchanging horses with Han people for grain, tea, and silk.

There is a historical reason for this. After the founding of Daxing, the king of Spain and Portugal sent a document, expressing his willingness to become friendly neighbors with Daxing for generations.

Today, in the market in Kaiyang, you can see Spanish Portuguese with deep eyes and high noses and Han people setting up stalls everywhere.

In addition to horses, there is also a variety of furs and cheeses in the market, and there are also ingenious Spanish and Portuguese women who have made exotic ornaments to set up their stalls.

"Girl, you are so beautiful, come and try on my hat!"

Ning Yuezhao and his group changed into the simple dresses that local women often wear, and walked in the market. The vendors on both sides greeted them warmly.

The owner of this jewelry stall is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Spanish-Portuguese girl. She speaks Chinese very fluently. If you ignore her facial features, you will almost think that this is an authentic Han speaking.

At this moment, she was holding an exquisite hat in her hand. There were colorful jade beads hanging down from both sides and the back, which made the whole hat shine in the sun.

"Sister, this hat is not bad." Qingchi changed his address because he was traveling in micro-clothes.

Seeing them stop, the stall owner hastened to sell his products more vigorously, "Girl, let me try them on for you!"

Because Ning Yuezhao didn't wear a towering and complicated bun today, but just braided a few braids like the border residents, hanging on the sides and behind the head, so the stall owner took the hat and wanted to put it on Ning Yuezhao's head .

But before she could touch Ning Yuezhao's hair, Yan Mo, who was accompanying her, grabbed her wrist, "Bold!"

With a flick of Yan Mo's hand, the stall owner took a few steps back, with a look of shock on his face, "You are so rude, I just want your master to try my hat on because of her beauty, you How did you do it!"

The folk customs in the northwest are tough, and this foreign woman is also aggressive, so she immediately questioned her with her hips on her hips.

Yan Mo was not an eloquent person, he saw that this woman was going to mess around, so he immediately drew his sword.

Ning Yuezhao stopped him, and said to the stall owner, "I bought your hat."

The stall owner is also a person who knows current affairs, so she immediately came over and said with a smile: "It's better, girl, the jade beads on my hat are all beautiful jade from Kunlun Mountain! I have never seen such a beautiful girl like you, you must wear this hat..."

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand to stop her flattering words, "Zhu Yun, pay."

Zhu Yun reluctantly took out her purse, "How much?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Twelve taels."

Zhu Yun's eyes widened, "Are you stealing money?"

The stall owner shook his head, "Girl, you don't know. The jade beads on my hat are beautiful jade collected from Kunlun Mountains. I polished each one with my own hands. The style is unique. Ten taels is already very cheap."

Zhu Yun put away her purse, "Do you think we don't know anything? Your bead has no head, average color, and dull luster. Which country's Kunlun Mountains will produce such rotten jade!"

When the stall owner saw that the business was about to fail, he immediately changed his face, "You beat someone up, do you still want to buy something?"

What a lie!
Suddenly a crisp female voice came in, "You stall owner is so kind. When I bought it with you just now, it was only a tael of silver. How come it costs ten taels when you look back? It's not like you. !"

Ning Yuezhao followed her reputation and found that the person who came was none other than Xu Miaoyun.Coincidentally, she was wearing the exact same hat that the stall owner had recommended to her just now.

Seeing Xu Miaoyun and the hat on her head, the stall owner suddenly had a bad face.

Zhu Yun said coldly: "Isn't it unique? Why is there another one?"

At this time, several imperial guards who also came in low clothes stepped forward one after another, with serious expressions on their faces.

The stall owner took a few steps back immediately, and said falteringly: "Forget it... then I'll sell it to you for a tael of silver..."

Zhu Yun said disdainfully: "My master is kind, but you don't know what to do. We won't buy this hat."

The stall owner wanted to argue a few more words, but Yan Mo and the others gave her a cold look. She immediately fell silent and returned to her stall honestly.

Ning Yuezhao looked at Xu Miaoyun, "Since we met, let's go together."

Xu Miaoyun blessed her body and followed half a step behind her.

"You think I wore the same hat first, so you don't want it anymore?" Xu Miaoyun asked suddenly.

Ning Yuezhao paused and looked at her sideways, "You think too much."

She didn't look at the hat carefully from the beginning to the end, so why did she not want it because Xu Miaoyun put it on first.

At this time, they walked forward for a while, and the owner of another stall greeted warmly: "Girl, look at my tourmaline chain. It is made of gemstones dug from the place where the rainbow falls. Your skin is so beautiful." Bai, it must look good wearing it!"

Ning Yuezhao glanced at the stall owner who was full of enthusiasm, and then looked at the tourmaline bracelet in his hand, shining with colorful neon light, as if there was a faint rainbow flowing in it, it was indeed much better than the ones at the stall just now .It's a pity that he met Ning Yuezhao. As an emperor, she was used to rare treasures. How could such an ordinary tourmaline bracelet catch her eyes?

Just when she was about to walk away, Xu Miaoyun said, "How much is this?"

The stall owner said: "Just two taels of silver."

"I want it."

Xu Miaoyun immediately asked Li Bai who was following behind to pay, and the stall owner saw that she would not counter the price, so he immediately handed over the things with a smile on his face.

She took the tourmaline bracelet and walked up to Ning Yuezhao, "Miaoyun has been taken care of by you a lot during this journey. I know that ordinary things can't catch your eyes, but this is just a little wish from Miaoyun. I hope you can take care of me." Take it."

Ning Yuezhao took a look at her, and said with a light smile, "I didn't take what happened just now, so you don't have to."

Xu Miaoyun looked resolute, "If you don't dislike it, let Miaoyun wear it for you."

Ning Yuezhao saw Xu Miaoyun's "you don't leave if you don't wear it" posture, she could only nod her head.

Most of the women's clothing in the Northwest has narrow sleeves, and the string of crystal clear crystal chains is wrapped around Ning Yuezhao's wrist, which happens to be faintly visible between the sleeves.

But because of Xu Miaoyun's move, Ning Yuezhao would stay away from any jewelry stalls in the next shopping process.

The market in the town is not that big, and they have finished shopping in one morning.

Seeing that it was noon, Xu Miaoyun suggested to have some local delicacies for lunch near the market.

Ning Yuezhao originally wanted to refuse, because she had no interest in eating in the Northwest, but seeing that Qingchi and the others were all very interested, she followed everyone's wishes.

After a lot of picking and picking, I finally selected a restaurant with unique decoration.

As soon as she stepped into the store, she was greeted by a Spanish-Portuguese beauty with deep eyes and a high nose, speaking fluent Chinese.

"Guest officer, please come inside, what do you want to eat?"

This Spanish-Portuguese beauty is very bold, with thick eyelashes and big eyes, she can't stop winking at Yan Mo.

Xu Miaoyun said: "Take us to the private room, and serve all the special dishes in your shop!"

Ning Yuezhao glanced sideways at Xu Miaoyun, with such a generous tone!

Hearing that, the Portuguese beauty immediately became more respectful towards them, and led them to the private room on the second floor.

"Guest officers, it's a coincidence that you are here today. After a while, there will be a Huxuan dance performance on the stage on the first floor. You can enjoy singing and dancing while eating. I'm not bragging, the most unique thing about our Bafang Restaurant , is our Hu Xuanwu performance!"

In the private room, Ning Yuezhao sat in the main seat, Xu Miaoyun and Qingchi sat on the left and right respectively, Yan Mo sat next to Xu Miaoyun, Qingchi's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then returned to his previous heartless appearance.

Xu Miaoyun took the initiative to wipe the bowls and chopsticks in front of Ning Yuezhao with a clean handkerchief, and picked up the jug on the table to pour wine for her.

"This is kumiss from Spain, Your Majesty, try it."

Ning Yuezhao looked at the light golden liquid in the silver wine bowl in front of her, picked it up and smelled it, "It smells quite special, it has a milky aroma."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and took another handkerchief for Yan Mo and Qing Chi to wipe the bowls and chopsticks, so attentive that Lan Sha and Zhu Yun had nothing to do.

"Try it, Your Majesty." Xu Miaoyun urged.

"Slow!" Lan Sha said, "I haven't tested the poison yet."

Although the wine is served in a silver wine bowl, it is better to be careful.

As the words fell, Xu Miaoyun poured some kumiss from Ning Yuezhao's cup into her own, and drank it all in one gulp.She didn't say anything, but her slightly pursed lips clearly revealed her dissatisfaction.

Ning Yuezhao took a sip of the kumiss in front of her, "Xu Qing has a heart."

Xu Miaoyun's face turned pale, "This is the duty of a minister."

At this time, the sound of Hu Le gradually started to rise, and the downstairs suddenly seemed to be boiling. Looking down through the open window, I saw several well-dressed women of different races coming to the stage with their waists twisted. Show the gully on the chest and the dance clothes on the navel.In the blink of an eye, most of the men in the restaurant have lost their souls.

The music became more and more exciting, and the dancers of different races whirled and danced to the beat.

At this time, Xu Miaoyun's dishes were served one after another.With the lessons learned from the past, Xu Miaoyun tasted every dish to confirm that it was not poisonous.

In fact, Ning Yuezhao didn't have much interest in these Spanish and Portuguese delicacies. Even if Xu Miaoyun served dishes attentively, she only ate a few mouthfuls casually.

Xu Miaoyun asked: "Your Majesty, but these dishes are not to your taste?"

Ning Yuezhao glanced at Qingchi, who was eating with gusto, and Yan Mo, who had only drank a few cups of kumiss, and said with a faint smile, "It's nothing, but I'm not hungry."

As she said that, she paused, took off the tourmaline bracelet that Xu Miaoyun forcefully gave her just now from her wrist, and put it on Xu Miaoyun's wrist, "You have come with me all this way, serving Zhou Dao, and I am by your side right now. I don’t have any long things, so I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and reward you.”

Xu Miaoyun's complexion changed, and she wanted to take off the bracelet on her hand, but Qingchi said with a smile: "Master Xu, His Majesty's reward is a great honor, you don't want to refuse it?"

"I dare not, I thank the Lord for your kindness!" Xu Miaoyun said with a livid face.

At this time, the door of the private room was knocked open, and the Spanish-Portuguese woman who welcomed them in just now held half a sliced ​​honeydew melon in her hand. Half of the whole melon rind is poured with milk and sprinkled with raisins.

"Dear distinguished guests, this is a milk melon specially presented by the shop, I hope distinguished guests like it!"

When the Portuguese beauty said this, she still gave Yan Mo a wink.

Yan Mo pretended not to see, the beauty from Xipu smiled, kissed Yan Mo, and then backed away.

Xu Miaoyun quickly pulled down her sleeves, covered the string of tourmalines, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, try this honeydew melon. Although honeydew melons are abundant in many countries in the northwest, no matter where the honeydew melons are of the best quality, they must belong to the west. Portuguese."

Ning Yuezhao hasn't had a good appetite these few days, but this sweet and sour milk melon dish is quite to her taste, so she couldn't help but eat more.

At this time, the applause downstairs gradually became warmer, and a neat counting sound could be heard.It turned out that the sound of the music was changing rapidly, and the dancer on the stage spun around in circles in harmony with the melody. Hearing the sounds around her, she had already spun dozens of times, and she was still turning faster and faster.

Ning Yuezhao couldn't help being curious, "It's really an eye-opener."

Even Yan Mo, who was always indifferent, had a strange look in his eyes.

"98, 99, one hundred! One hundred and one..."

The atmosphere in the building was heated to the extreme at this moment. Just when everyone was concentrating on seeing how many times those dancing girls could turn, the leading dancing girl suddenly flew up and directly attacked the private room where Ning Yuezhao and the others were staying. .

A cold light flashed in Yan Mo's eyes, and he was about to draw his sword when he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest, unable to lift any internal strength.

In this short moment, the dancer jumped in from the window, and a short knife slipped out of her cuff. She held the knife firmly and stabbed at Ning Yuezhao...
