Chapter 268 The Khan's throne will belong to you in the future
The wind is biting.
Murong Hongyi rode on a Ferghana horse and pulled his fox fur coat closer.
He turned his head from time to time and looked at Xiao Chengjin who was driving the carriage with resentful eyes.
Xiao Cheng, if you had been more sensible that day, this prince would not have been jealous of you.
So, wait for this prince's revenge!
Xiao Chengjin naturally noticed Murong Hongyi's intention.
He turned his head and gave Murong Hongyi a provocative smile.
Sure enough, you're itching again.
Murong Hongyi cleared his throat and asked, "Mr. Xiao, are you and your wife buying so many cattle and sheep and bringing them back to Dayan to sell them?"
Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "That's exactly what I meant."
Murong Hongyi laughed heartily, his tone somewhat contemptuous, "As expected of a traveling businessman, you can see business opportunities everywhere."
As far as he knew, whether in Dayan or Beiyu, among the four classes of officials, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants had the lowest status.
Xiao Chengjin sneered and said coldly, "Of course, we can't make a trip in vain." His tone was a little sharp.
The subordinates following behind were keenly aware of the tense atmosphere between the two.
They secretly complained: We have just left the Salo tribe, and you must not fight!
Zhalezhen glanced at Xiao Chengjin stealthily, and guessed in his heart: This must be a prince of Dayan!
Jiang Ruo looked through the car curtain and did not miss Murong Hongyi's angry eyes.
Tsk tsk! I have to say, this Prince Yi is really a "thief with a thief's heart".
She lifted the carriage curtain and said to Murong Hongyi, "Prince Yi, thank you for escorting my wife and me back to the city."
Murong Hongyi listened to Jiang Ruo's words and snorted coldly in response, "Madam Xiao, there's no need to thank me."
"This prince is also ordered by my father, the Khan, to go on this trip."
The implication is that if this prince could not disobey his father's orders, I would not bother to send you two away.
Jiang Ruo understood the meaning of Murong Hongyi's words and immediately said jokingly, "I heard that Prince Yi is the strongest warrior of the Salo tribe. The position of Khan in the future will belong to you!"
"When you inherit the Khan's throne, my wife and I will come to congratulate you, haha!"
As soon as Jiang Ruo finished speaking, the atmosphere became strange...
The subordinates looked at each other and couldn't help complaining: Prince Yi's title of the strongest warrior is somewhat exaggerated.
Otherwise, how could you be beaten so miserably by your husband? This Khan position...
When Murong Hongyi heard the words "The position of Khan belongs to you", he felt secretly happy.
But when he thought about his father, the Khan, who was in his prime, if these words reached his ears, he would definitely think that he was coveting the Khan's position...
Thinking of this, Murong Hongyi shuddered with fear.
He pulled the reins, glared at Jiang Ruo in feigned anger, and scolded her coldly, "Madam Xiao, don't talk nonsense."
"Father Khan is now in his prime, and will surely live forever."
Jiang Ruo: "..."
Keep pretending!
Alas, you are so hypocritical!
Jiang Ruo covered her mouth and smiled, "Prince Yi, I'm sorry, I was too outspoken just now..."
Hey! I scared you.
Seeing that Jiang Ruo had calmed down, Murong Hongyi snorted coldly and continued riding his horse on his way.
Jiang Ruo looked at Murong Hongyi's smug look and raised her eyebrows slightly.
She lowered the curtain, stood up and went to the front room, where she squeezed in with Xiao Chengjin to drive the carriage.
Jiang Ruo looked back at the cattle and sheep and smiled, "My dear, the people of the Salo tribe are so warm and hospitable. We must come here more often in the future."
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips slightly and responded in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "Okay, come often in the future."
Everyone: “…”
This couple is so brave!
Didn’t you see the look in Prince Yi’s eyes as if he wanted to stab you?
Of course Murong Hongyi heard the conversation between Jiang Ruo and the other one, and he secretly thought: Do you still want to come often?
This prince will let you and your wife know what the "nightmare place" is.
Never think of setting foot in the Salo tribe again in this life.
The group traveled south and were exhausted, so they found a place with water and set up camp there.
As they walked, Murong Hongyi's expression became more and more ugly.
He secretly complained: It’s still comfortable in my own tent.
Murong Hongyi dismounted and shouted to his men, "I am exhausted. Hurry and set up the tent for me before sunset."
"I obey your command!"
Zhalezhen looked at Murong Hongyi who was in a bad mood and waved to his brothers.
He lowered his voice and said, "You two go prepare dinner for Prince Yi, and we will set up the tent."
"Everyone be smart."
For a moment, everyone was busy following the instructions.
The accompanying guards left this dangerous place and went to look after the cattle and sheep.
The herdsmen were adding fodder to the cattle and sheep and were too lazy to pay attention to this side.
Jiang Ruo jumped off the carriage and said to Xiao Chengjin, "Husband, let's rest in the carriage tonight."
Xiao Chengjin pretended to say, "Ruoruo, will it be cold at night?"
Jiang Ruo chuckled, "With a stove and a quilt, it shouldn't be too cold."
Xiao Chengjin looked around, parked the carriage farther away from the account office, and unloaded the carriage.
Jiang Ruo was not idle either. He went to the back and asked the herdsmen for some fodder and firewood.
The two herdsmen happily took them there in a horse-drawn carriage.
Jiang Ruo returned to the carriage, took out a shovel from the space, and took out some rice for tonight.
Xiao Chengjin took the shovel from her hand, dug a hole in the nearby open space, and made a simple stove.
"My dear, take this bucket and go to the river to get some water while I prepare dinner."
"Okay, Ruoruo." Xiao Chengjin took out a wooden bucket from the carriage and came to the river. After breaking the ice, he returned to Jiang Ruo with a bucket of water.
Everyone looked at the couple, then looked at the carriage that looked like a "treasure box", with envy on their faces.
This couple is really amazing. They bring everything with them when they go out.
Murong Hongyi looked at Xiao Chengjin who was circling around Jiang Ruo, his eyes full of disdain.
Being so henpecked is really shameful for a man.
Zha Lezhen looked at the tent that had been set up and came to Murong Hongyi. "Prince Yi, the tent has been set up. Please go in and take a rest."
"I have already arranged for someone to slaughter the sheep, and the mutton will be roasted soon."
Murong Hongyi's expression eased a lot after hearing this. "I understand. Go get busy!" After saying this, he strode into the account office.
As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Ruo quickly prepared a pot of meat porridge. Finally, she quietly put a handful of vegetables in the porridge.
At this moment, Murong Hongyi, who was sitting in the accounting office, was already extremely hungry.
He sniffed the aroma of meat porridge in the air, his face full of irritation.
Zhalezhen and others quickly set up the remaining tents. He looked at the loving couple and walked over.
"Mr. Xiao, Madam Xiao, I am Zhale Zhen. When I came here, the Khan told me to take good care of you and your wife."
"It's freezing cold at night, you should spend the night in the accounting office!"
Xiao Chengjin cupped his hands and said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness, brother. There's a stove in the carriage and some warm cotton clothes, so it shouldn't be too cold."
Jiang Ruo filled two bowls of meat porridge and placed them on the low table in the carriage.
She smiled and said, "It's so cold, my husband and I are very grateful for your escort back to the city."
"There aren't many accounting rooms. You can squeeze in here. It will be warmer this way."
Just put up with it for one night, you should go back tomorrow, hehe!
Zhalezhen knew their good intentions, smiled helplessly, and said nothing more.
Murong Hongyi stood behind the accounting office door, listening to their conversation with a look of contempt.
This Zhalezhen is good at flattery.
Forget it, my father Khan has given the order, so I can’t go too far.
Jiang Ruo looked at the meat porridge in the pot and said to Zha Le Zhen, "We can't eat this meat porridge either. You can take it over and eat it with them while it's hot!"
"Mrs. Xiao, this is not possible." Zha Lezhen declined repeatedly.
Jiang Ruo pretended to be helpless and said, "Alas, there are so many, we can't finish them, so we can only throw them away."
Zhalezhen: “….”
It would be such a waste to throw away such good meat porridge.
He said slightly stiffly, "In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."
After Jiang Ruo nodded, he picked up the iron pot and left without saying a word.
After watching Zha Le Zhen leave, Jiang Ruo said happily, "Husband, let's go have dinner."
When Zhalezhen passed by Murong Hongyi's account office, he suddenly felt an unpleasant atmosphere.
Oops, Prince Yi is angry.
He looked at the meat porridge in the pot, then looked at the account office, quickly took a few steps back, and walked towards the account office...
Alas, what a pity for this pot of meat porridge...
