This is the benefit of accumulating fame in Xianyang for many years.

Bai Su walked on the street, looked at the dazzling array of goods on the surrounding shops, and nodded slightly.

After a period of development, compared with the original Xianyang, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

But for him, this is just the beginning.

At present, the entrance to the Western Regions is occupied by the Yuezhi Kingdom, and the Central Plains has not yet established contact with the Western Regions, so the merchants from the Western Regions can only be passed in indirectly through the Yuezhi Kingdom.

If the Corridor of the Western Regions is opened up in the future and contacts with the 36 countries of the Western Regions are established, the trade in the Central Plains will rise to another level.

After all, Yuezhi Kingdom is now a middleman, and many benefits have been taken away by him.

"You bad guy!!!"

A somewhat hoarse girlish voice came from the side.

I saw a young girl in an emerald green dress standing aside, staring at him with strange eyes.

Bai Su touched his nose, and said in embarrassment: "You are still angry with me."

Hu Yanyin clenched his teeth and stared at Bai Su with a resentful expression: "How can I not be angry, if it weren't for you last night...would my voice be so hoarse?"

When she thought of what happened last night, she suddenly felt a burst of anger.

This stinker is just too much.

Bai Su looked embarrassed: "Ahem..."

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.

"Look, look, a woman from Chu is performing a sword dance in front of her. It's amazing."

"Oh, where is it, I want to see it too."

"Chu Nu dancing sword?"

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, then took Hu Tan's hand, and said with a smile: "It's still early in the day, and it's still far away from the auction tonight, why don't we go and have a look."

Hu Yan snorted arrogantly, turned his head away, still seemed a little dissatisfied.

Bai Su stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of her nose: "Let's go, maybe I'll miss it if it's a little later."

Hu Yan pouted his red lips, but he didn't let go of Bai Su's hand, letting him pull him forward.

Chapter 160 Eight Jiangdong Xiang Yu

Bai Su squeezed into the crowd with Hu Yan, and in front of a bunk, he saw a beautiful woman, dressed in a Chu costume, holding a blue long sword, dancing gracefully.

Her steps are as light as a swallow, and her posture is agile, she can be said to be weak and graceful like a dragon, attracting people around her to clap their hands and applaud.

Hu Yan looked surprised and said: "This person's steps are amazing and his skills are extraordinary. Even if there are people in Xianyang Palace who can compare with her, there are not many people."

"Really extraordinary."

Bai Su said so, but his brows were slightly wrinkled.

Compared with the Chu girl who was in the center of everyone's focus, it was the merchandise in the shop behind that attracted his attention even more.

Those jars of snow-white granules, this... this is actually sucrose! ! !

Although sugarcane is everywhere in Chudi, there is generally no way to refine it in this era, and most of them are eaten dry.

The only ones who know how to extract sucrose, looking around the world, are only two people.

One is him, and the other is Ji Liang, his bedside person.

Back then, when Ji Liang was wanted by the government and all his family wealth was gone, Bai Su gave her the refined prescription as a fund to start a family.

Where do these people get so much sucrose from, could it be...

They are all remnants of the Six Kingdoms, are they Ji Liang's former companions?

If it is true, what is the purpose of their coming to Xianyang?

When Bai Su was deep in thought, the curtain at the back of the shop slightly opened a gap, and a beautiful young woman in a red dress was watching the situation outside.

"I said, aunt, is this really useful?"

A heroic girl in a white robe was leaning against the corner of the wall with her head in her arms.

If Wang Jian was here at this time, he would be surprised to recognize him.

This person is none other than Jiangdong Xiang Yu, who defeated the Xia army's iron cavalry when he was a thousand cavalry.

Xiang Liang let go of the curtain with his slender jade hands, turned around, looked at the impatient girl, and said helplessly, "Whether it's possible or not, you have to give it a try."

"Since Mr. Ji Liang fell into the hands of Xia Jun and was captured in Xianyang, his whereabouts have been unknown. It is still unclear whether he is dead or alive."

"We came to Xianyang under the guise of trade this time, and we came here to inquire about Mr. Ji Liang."

"After all, she is in charge of a lot of things among our six nations in private. If Mr. Ji Liang is okay and gives me the list in her hand, it will be a great help to us."

"These two, of course, are to find out the details of Xianyang. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy can win a hundred battles."

Xiang Yu leaned lazily against the corner of the wall, and said with some disdain: "Why is it so troublesome, just... find a chance to kill the First Emperor. With my skill, as long as I get within a hundred steps, I can take her head. "

Xiang Liang's slender black eyebrows raised, and he looked at her a little dumbfounded: "Xianyang City is heavily guarded, once you assassinate her, the entire Guanzhong will definitely be under strict guard, and we will not be able to leave even if we want to..."

"Once there is something wrong with me, and the dragons have no leader, the great cause of restoring the Chu Kingdom will be over."

When Xiang Yu heard this, his slender eyebrows could not help but frown tightly.

She questioned: "But is it really useful? We have been delayed in Xianyang for several days, and Mr. Ji Liang's whereabouts have not been found so far. It will not be a problem if we continue to waste like this."

Xiang Liang gently curled a lock of hair with his fingers, pondered for a moment and said, "This sucrose was created by Mr. Ji Liang, and there are only a handful of people who know this secret. I have already sent Xiang Zhuang to dance swords outside as a signal to trigger Notice."

"If Mr. Ji Liang is still in Xianyang and everything is safe, he will definitely send someone to contact us in private. Let's wait for the last two days."

"If there is no result yet, then we will leave earlier to avoid accidents."

After Xiang Yu heard his aunt's arrangement, he didn't say much. He just closed his eyes and leaned against the corner of the wall, but he didn't hold much hope in his heart.

After all, Ji Liang was the mastermind behind the assassination of the first emperor. Once he fell into the hands of the first emperor, would he still have a way out?

At this moment, a maid came in suddenly, cupped her fists and said, "My lord, there is a young man in white who wants to see you for something."

When the two heard the words, they couldn't help but glanced at each other. Could it be the person sent by Mr. Ji Liang?

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Liang said, "Please invite him in first. Just in case, you must not reveal your real name during the contact."

"Yes."

After half a sound.

I saw two people walking in, one was a young man in a white robe, and next to him was a young girl in an emerald green dress, with a pair of unusually colored eyes.

Xiang Liang looked at Bai Su with a smile on his face, "I don't know what your name is?"

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm here, Bai Su, I've met you two."

There was a trace of surprise on Xiang Liang's face, and he bowed his hands: "It turned out to be made by Daliang. I don't know what's the matter when you come here this time?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I just came here this time to ask, are you looking for someone?"

Xiang Liang's beautiful eyes froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Did your lord misunderstand, we never looked for anyone."

Bai Su pondered for a while, and tentatively said, "Is the person you are looking for born in Korea?"

Xiang Yu, who was sitting in the corner, opened his eyes immediately, and directed his sharp gaze at Bai Su.

Bai Su froze for a moment. I don't know if it was an illusion. The moment he met the girl's eyes, it was as if he was being watched by a ferocious beast, and his breathing became difficult.

He hurriedly said: "You don't need to be nervous, we are all on our own, and she and I are acquaintances."

As he spoke, he lightly touched the wine with his fingers, and wrote some general steps of the method of refining sucrose on the table.

"This...this is!!!"

Xiang Liang stared at the steps in the recipe, her eyes were dull for a moment, then she let go of her hostility, and looked at Bai Su suspiciously: "I don't know what is the relationship between your Excellency and sir?"

Bai Su scratched his cheek, thought for a while and said, "It should be regarded as Guan Bao's acquaintance."

"It turned out to be a close friend..."

Xiang Liang nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time gave Bai Su a weird look.

She never expected that this important minister in the Great Xia court was actually Mr. Ji Liang's friend.

Mr. Ji Liang is worthy of the reputation of being a saint, even the generals of the enemy camp have slept in private.

Bai Su smiled and didn't explain too much, but asked curiously: "I wonder what the two of you are coming to Xianyang for?"

Xiang Yu was about to speak, but Xiang Liang stopped him with a look.

A strange look flashed in Xiang Liang's eyes, and he said with a smile: "I came here this time to inquire about the whereabouts of the master. If there is nothing wrong with the husband, please young master...give this to her."

After finishing speaking, she took out a simple jade talisman from her bosom and handed it to Bai Su.

Chapter 160 Nine Bets, Sore Mouth, Sore Throat

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, looked down, and saw a simple jade talisman in his hand, the whole body was snow-white, with no discernible origin, and a small Chu character was engraved on the back.

He asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

A faint smile appeared on Xiang Liang's soft and pretty face: "It's nothing, it's just a small token, after the young master shows it to the husband, she will understand."

Bai Su nodded, and took back the jade talisman.

He looked at the two people in front of him and said, "I don't know what to call you two?"

Xiang Liang's expression hesitated for a moment, and then he recovered, and said calmly: "I'm just a small businessman, you can call me Jiang Liang. This is my niece, named Jiang Yu."

She thought to herself, I was born in Jiangdong, so taking Jiang as my surname is appropriate.

Bai Su nodded politely, lost in thought.

The name that has never been heard before, could it be Ji Liang's former subordinate?

Seeing that the two of them didn't have any other thoughts for the time being, Bai Su didn't think much about it either.

After pondering for a while, he said: "There is no problem with the safety of what she said. I just let go of my old obsessions and decided not to take risks...You guys will return home earlier, so don't risk your life."

Looking at Bai Su's sincere gaze, Xiang Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I will leave after I meet with you sir."

Xiang Yu looked at the two people who were talking, and a strange look appeared on his handsome face.

Although she didn't know why her aunt did this, she didn't say much, she just glanced curiously at Bai Su in front of her.

This is not the first time she has heard of the name Bai Su.

As early as when Jiangdong and Ji Liang met in the alliance, they often heard this name from Ji Liang. It is said that he was born in Handan, a peerless genius, with a talent not inferior to Guan Zhong and Le Yi.

Whether it is Ji Liang or Mi Xiong Xin, they have always wanted to pull him into the anti-xia organization, but there has been no chance.

Now that she finally saw this rumored great talent, she couldn't help but feel a little curiosity in her heart.

Until the two left.

Then she couldn't help asking: "Aunt, why did you use a fake name to talk to him, wouldn't it be good to just let him take us to see Mr. Ji Liang?"

Xiang Liang's slender fingers pushed aside the gap in the curtain, looked at Bai Su's leaving back, and said softly, "How do you know that what he just said is true?"

Xiang Yu was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't Bai Su just tell you the recipe for extracting sucrose? This thing came from Mr. Ji Liang. There are not many people who know this secret, even inside."

"Since he was able to say it accurately, it must be Mr. Ji Liang's great talent."

Xiang Liang shook his head slightly, his slender willow eyebrows slightly frowned.

She turned around, looked at Xiang Yu with her eyes like autumn water, and asked again: "How do you know that Mr. Ji Liang told him the formula in his mouth, or...Mr. Ji Liang fell into the hands of Xia Jun and was tortured to extract a confession?" , asked?"

"This……"

Xiang Yu couldn't help but froze for a moment, and was speechless for a while.

Obviously, she hadn't thought about it at all.

Xiang Liang curled a strand of slender hair with his fingers, and frowned beautifully: "We have never met that Bai Su, if he is a fake, if we go with him, we will fall into an ambush. "

Xiang Yu asked suspiciously: "But didn't he just say our purpose?"

Xiang Liang pondered for a moment and said: "It may be true, or it may be that through interrogating Mr. Ji Liang, he learned some fragments of words, and thus became suspicious of us, so come and test it out."

"Just in case, we'd better get out of here as soon as possible and don't get too close to him for the time being. I just gave him a jade card, which is just an ordinary jade card and has no special effect. "
