Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 316 Going to the Northwest
"Okay! Since King Li is so forthright, I won't go around too much. The gunpowder and steel armor will be ready in a while."

"Sure, and, can you send someone to escort you this time, it's too tiring to walk through the desert." Fu Xuanrong complained with a mournful face.

"Then do as you say!"

The battle was tight, and Fu Xuanrong and Li Junhao couldn't stay longer, but after traveling for so long, they had to rest overnight.

The two filled their stomachs, took a bath, and wandered around the street with Chu Mohua who accompanied them.

This is the first time Fu Xuanrong has seen the real style of the Western Regions. The women on the road are all wearing navel-baring outfits, with blue eyes and blond hair, fair skin and beautiful appearance.

"Tsk, this dress is really nice, I don't know how it will look when I wear it."

"Xuanrong, you are so beautiful, if you really wear it, you will be amazed."

Fu Xuanrong's face was flushed by the praise, "The Emperor Xishu can really talk, why don't I buy one and try it?"

Come here, you have to experience the local customs.

As soon as she finished speaking, the hand on her waist tightened suddenly, like a silent threat.

Fu Xuanrong smacked her mouth, and drooped her head in resignation.

How could she have forgotten that there was a big vinegar jar beside her.

"The folk customs of Xishu are different from Beiao. You people in the Central Plains really can't accept such clothes. Xuanrong, why don't you take a look at these small things on the side of the road to see if you are satisfied."

"Small objects?" Fu Xuan looked around and found that there were many silver ornaments, which looked very delicate. "Are these real silver?"

"Yes, our Xishu silver is worthless, let alone be used as currency."

"Then you usually buy things, what do you use for transactions?"

Chu Mohua took out a few wires from his sleeve, "It's exactly this thing."

"Iron wire? You Xishu people are really rich and powerful." In Beiao, the iron is used to make cannons, so where is the extra iron wire?

"Fortunately, most of these circulations are the leftovers left after the imperial court made the artillery. Such a small amount is accumulated, and finally they are taken away by others. After refining, they can be made into new artillery."

Fu Xuanrong was amazed when she heard it, "Wonderful!"

This can probably be regarded as waste utilization.

"Let's go, see what you want, and I'll pay for you."

"It's good to be brave, let's go!"

Fu Xuanrong has followed a principle in her life, that is, it is a fool not to take advantage of the advantages, and since Chu Mohua, who has been taken advantage of, pays the bill, then she can buy more.

After wandering around for more than half an hour, the guards he brought were almost too heavy to walk. Li Junhao glanced at Fu Xuanrong who was still in a state of excitement, and sighed faintly.

This woman can really find fun for herself wherever she goes.

"Don't you people from the Central Plains like everyone who is beautiful? Why, as a prince, you chose her to be your princess?" Chu Mohua asked tentatively.

"It's all about fate." In the beginning, this marriage didn't meet his wishes, but later on, they fell in love for a long time. It can be seen that no one can predict such things as feelings.

"Really? When I went to Bei Ao last time, I overheard someone mentioning that you and Xuanrong were married by the emperor, and you have a concubine in your house. I wonder if it's true?"

"Indeed."

Chu Mohua shook the folding fan in his hand, "Embracing left and right, the prince is really lucky."

"Wouldn't it be more blessed for the Emperor of Western Shu to have a harem of three thousand?"

This remark made Chu Mohua choke, and did not continue this topic.

Fu Xuanrong said when she was in prison that she was unwilling to share her lover with other women. There were only two women in Li Junhao's mansion including her, but he had hundreds of concubines. On this point alone, he had already lost.

Forget it, anyway, he and Fu Xuanrong are not the same people.

After wandering around for a while, Fu Xuanrong finally satisfied her desire for shopping. She returned to the inn with something like a small mountain, her eyes narrowed as she smiled.

"There are so many good things. When I bring them back to Kyoto, I will share a share with my sisters."

"Are you sure you can bring so much back?"

"Of course! Didn't Chu Mohua say that he would send someone to escort him? Just let them take care of it." Anyway, she bought everything, so she couldn't just leave it at this moment.

"...Hey, let's rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Fu Xuanrong lay on the bed contentedly, "Okay, sleep!"

The next day.

Chu Mohua prepared all the gunpowder and steel armor agreed yesterday, and sent an elite army of hundreds of people to escort the whole process.

When Fu Xuanrong and others came, it was still a bit difficult, but the journey back could be said to be smooth. After all, there were locals leading them, so they avoided a lot of detours.

About half a month later, they had arrived at the border and bid farewell to the Xishu army. Li Junhao was going to go directly westward to deliver these things to Gu Shaoqing.

"Xuan Rong, you go back to the capital with Old General Lian, and I'll send the things to the northwest and come back."

"How long are you going to go?"

"One back and one back, about one month."

Fu Xuanrong drooped her eyebrows, "It's been so long."

"I will hurry back as soon as possible. When you return to Beijing, be careful, and don't push yourself when things happen. Do you understand?"

"Understood, you go." She was not a greasy temper, and she was very clear about such a big matter.

Li Junhao nodded, and suddenly lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.

It wasn't a big deal at first, but Old General Lian happened to be watching right after feeding the horses. The old man was so frightened that his feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground.

To commit a crime, to commit a crime, Mr. Gu Qing actually had a relationship with the prince...

Ugh!
Li Junhao knew that the old general had misunderstood, but he didn't explain much. He waved his horsewhip and headed west with the army.

After half a stick of incense, people had already gone out of sight, Fu Xuanrong chewed a piece of dried grass boredly, "General Lian, it's time for us to return to the capital."

Old General Lian climbed onto the horse with a red face, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Young Master Gu, I know that this kind of thing is beyond your control, but the two wives and concubines of King Li are indeed very good, even if you go back, you may not What can I ask for?"

Fu Xuanrong suddenly found some fun, and asked with a smile on her face, "What does Old General Lian mean?"

"Young man, you should turn your back on the shore, and don't be blinded by the momentary love for children. You come back with me, and I will definitely choose a woman with superior looks and talents for you. This is definitely more promising than staying with King Li. .”

"Oh, it's a pity that my heart is all set on the prince. I've already been with you for life and death. How can I like other women?"

Old General Lian's face turned from red to gray, as if he had swallowed a fly, "Even if you like a man, you should find an ordinary man. The water in the Hou Men Palace is very deep, it's not a place for you to stay."
