When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 141 The Greedy Girl

"I don't like you here more and more. If it weren't for you here, I would never come to myself. There is a breath of gold and jade everywhere." In front of Honglian, a ten-year-old girl looked disgusted. Said.

"As long as you like me, it's fine, and I didn't let you like my room." As the host, Honglian heard the guest's complaints, but enthusiastically brought out a box of snacks for her.

"After all, I used to live here." The girl who spoke was dressed in commoner clothes. Although the cut was exquisite, the fabric was only coarse linen. She was Duanmu Rong, a student of the medical family, and now she is the young senior sister of the medical family.

In front of Honglian's brocade clothes, there was a stark contrast.

"This is delicious." Duan Murong took a piece of snack from the wooden box that Honglian put on the table, put it in his mouth, and felt a faint aroma accompanied by an inexplicable sweetness blooming between his lips and teeth. Unknowingly fascinated the taste buds and bewitched the mind.

"Does my sister know how much the pastry you ate just now is worth?" Hong Lian said in a good mood when she saw that her creature was affirmed by her little sister.

"What do you want to say?" Duanmu Rong said as he took out a pastry from the wooden box again.

"This piece of cake comes from Linzi, the capital of Qi. The materials used alone cost a hundred gold. What's more troublesome is that this kind of cake can only be stored for ten days. Once it exceeds ten days, it can no longer be used. Think about it. Within ten days, from Linzi, the capital of Qi, to Xianyang, the distance is thousands of miles, even a thousand-mile horse can hardly achieve such a speed." Hong Lian said.

"This?" Duanmu Rong, who had already picked up the third piece of pastry, hesitated for a while, but still chose to put the pastry into her mouth.

"This is a gift from the king of Qi to the king. I heard that in order to ensure that this box of pastries was sent from Linzi to Xianyang within seven days, three thousand-mile horses died of exhaustion along the way, and the price of thousand-mile horses is [-] yuan. It is worth a thousand gold, even if there is only a thousand gold, it is three thousand gold." Hong Lian said.

Duanmu Rong, who was chewing, subconsciously forgot the movement between her lips and teeth when she heard the words, but stared blankly at the wooden box on the desk. It was a very delicate wooden box, and there were no more than three layers of snacks in it. Twenty-seven dollars only.

In other words, each piece of dim sum like this in Xianyang costs more than a hundred gold, and she just ate the third piece.

"Although the things here look gorgeous, they are nothing compared to this box of dim sum." Honglian said with a smirk.

Duanmu Rong only felt that the intoxicating taste between her lips and teeth disappeared instantly.

"Why do you have such a thing?" In line with the principle of not being wasted, Duanmu Rong asked Honglian after swallowing the snack in his mouth.

"This is from the king." Hong Lian felt even better when she saw Duanmu Rong's strange expression that she didn't want to eat anymore but couldn't refuse.

"Of course I know that he gave it to you, I mean, why would King Qi give such a thing?" Duanmu Rong asked puzzled.

A box of dim sum?Is it worth it?

Spending thousands of gold, just to send such a box of snacks?Could it be that Wang Jian of Qi has a brain problem.

"I don't know about that. Do you want to eat it or not? If you don't eat it, I will take it away." Hong Lian said as if she was about to take away the wooden box containing the snacks.

"Why don't you eat it? Leave it to you? You don't even look at how fat you are now." Duan Murong pushed Hong Lian's hand away in disgust, slowly took out another piece of snack, and put it in his mouth.

"Am I fat?" Honglian's face changed when she heard Duanmu Rong's words, and she hurriedly looked at her hands.

No, it just has a fleshy feeling. Can this be considered fat?Honglian couldn't help but look at Duanmu Rong when she thought about it.

Well, compared to Duanmu Rong's slender figure, Honglian's whole body is indeed fat.

"If you get fatter, I'm sure you will be kicked away by him." Duanmu Rong said.

"That's absolutely impossible." Honglian burst into fury when she heard that.

"You..." Duan Murong looked at the red lotus who had exploded hair, a little surprised, there is no need to react so much, right?

Do you care so much now?Duanmu Rong, who couldn't understand the reason, squeezed out a piece of dessert again.

"Yesterday, I seemed to see a team going north by the Weihe River. In that team, there seemed to be a figure of the king. Did he go to the north?" Duanmu Rong asked innocently.

"Why are you inquiring about this?" Honglian looked at Duanmu Rong with a look of scrutiny, but she didn't answer the other party's question.

"Just curious." Duanmu Rong said without changing his expression.

"If I'm just curious, I can't tell you." Honglian said.

"What's the reason?" Duanmu Rong asked disappointedly.

"As for the king's whereabouts, it is a top secret. As someone close to you, you must have the awareness of keeping secrets." Honglian said.

"You, who taught you this?" Duanmu Rong asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty." Honglian said.

"He still taught you these things?" Duanmu Rong asked without knowing what.

"It's not just these, there are many more." Honglian said proudly.

"How much is that many?" Duanmu Rong asked.

"For example, martial arts." Honglian said.

"He's quite free." Duanmu Rong said to herself.

At this time, Duanmu Rong couldn't help but think of the half a year when his master left him in Xianyang Palace.

At that time, she had some contact with the owner here, but it was just contact.

In her impression, it was a somewhat gloomy, but very powerful young man.

Of course, in the heart of Duanmurong, who was only eight years old at the time, the so-called "powerful" cognition, just thought that Ying Zheng could read a lot of letters every day, and this was what Duanmurong was most afraid of.

In Duanmu Rong's heart at that time, anyone who could defeat those terrifying bamboo slips was a powerful person.

"Is there?" Honglian said a little blankly.

"Princess, the king is back. I heard that Miss Duanmu is in Xianyang Palace. Let the princess take Miss Duanmu to the apse." At this moment, a woman in Tsing Yi hurried in from the outside.

"Ah? The king is back?" Honglian said in surprise, but was replaced by suspicion the next moment.

"He wants to see me? Why?" Duanmu Rong couldn't help tilting his head to look at the visitor, wanting to know an answer, but the visitor's face, although beautiful, didn't have the answer Duanmu Rong wanted.

"Let's go, you can't keep the king waiting for too long." Seeing Duan Murong's confused face, Hong Lian took Duan Murong's hand and walked out of the hall.

Anyway, I can't figure out the reason, so why bother to think about it?As long as you get there, you will know the answer.

"I..." Duanmu Rong wanted to say, but she didn't want to go.

But when she saw Honglian's excited expression, as well as her surroundings, especially the lack of idle sweetness between her lips and teeth, she felt that she should pay a visit to the owner here.
