After sending someone to deliver a letter to Emperor Wen in the imperial city, Yun Zheng brought Jia Yao back to his own residence.
These days, Yun Zheng and his friends eat all kinds of food stewed with ginseng every day.
The excuse is to provide nourishment to Miaoyin who is pregnant.
Yun Zheng was not harsh on Jia Yao.
Anyway, Jiayao eats whatever they eat.
They never mentioned giving "ginseng" to Jia Yao, and just waited for Jia Yao to ask for it after trying the effects of the ginseng.
But unfortunately, they waited for a few days but Jia Yao didn't speak.
Yun Zheng was almost bleeding from the nose because of taking ginseng all day long.
Seeing that there were only a few days left before the ten-day deadline mentioned by Jia Yao, Yun Zheng decided to take Jia Yao with him to Suining Guard.
When Yun Zheng arrived at the side yard where Jia Yao was under house arrest, Jia Yao was lying leisurely on a recliner with his eyes closed, thinking.
...
...
There was no trace of worry or anxiety on her face.
"You have a good attitude!"
Yun Zheng secretly praised and walked straight to Jia Yao, "Why are you lying here? Aren't you cold?"
Jia Yao slowly opened his eyes. "The cold can keep people awake, right?"
"The cold can kill people."
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her and stared at Jia Yao's pretty face.
Jia Yao did not avoid Yun Zheng's gaze, but raised an eyebrow and asked: "You are sending me away, are you reluctant to let me go and want to remember my appearance?"
"Don't mention it, I'm really reluctant to let go!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "I am a person who values affection the most. I can develop feelings for a cat or a dog after just a few days, let alone such a beautiful woman."
Cats...dogs?
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Jia Yao suddenly felt angry.
Does he treat himself as his pet?
However, Jia Yao was not stupid. She knew that Yun Zheng was deliberately trying to make her angry, so she quickly suppressed her anger.
"Do you know what my favorite thing to do is?"
Jia Yao raised her eyebrows and asked Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't know what you liked to do in the past, but I know that you will definitely like to cause trouble for me and make me unhappy in the future!"
"I love taming wild wolves!"
Jia Yao stared at Yun Zheng with burning eyes, "When I was very young, my father told me that the best way to deal with a wolf is not to kill it, but to tame it! When you see this wolf lying docilely in front of you, think about how it bared its teeth at you, you will be very satisfied!"
"Really?" Yun Zheng smiled casually, "Have you ever tamed a wild wolf?"
"Of course! And quite a few!"
Jia Yao smiled sweetly, "When I was fifteen, I met a Snow Wolf King. It was very cunning and proud! It took me a whole year to catch it, and another three years to tame it. Now, the once arrogant Snow Wolf King helps me guard the house every day..."
"You are so patient!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I don't have your patience. If it were me, I would beat this Snow Wolf King into submission!"
Jia Yao choked slightly, gritted her teeth and glared at Yun Zheng.
This despicable bastard is really good at talking!
I really don't know what those idiots in Da Gan are thinking.
You actually treated this cunning wolf as trash?
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently and asked, "Zaza, what do you think of me treating you?"
"It's OK!"
Jia Yao said calmly: "At least, it's much better than I expected."
Jia Yao did not deny this.
Apart from teasing her occasionally and restricting her freedom, Yun Zheng didn't make things difficult for her.
Yun Zheng was not harsh on her when it came to food.
"What do you mean it's OK?"
Yun Zheng was not happy, "I give you ginseng as a tonic every day. Look, in just a few days, I have made your face fair and rosy."
"Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush." Jia Yao raised his eyes slightly.
Yun Zheng raised his lips and asked, "Ginseng is very valuable, don't you know?"
"Then what?"
Jia Yao frowned slightly, feeling that Yun Zheng had bad intentions.
Yun Zheng chuckled, "Look, you've been eating at my place for so many days, and I even gave you this valuable ginseng. We're going to exchange soon, so before that, shouldn't you pay the food fee?"
Food expenses?
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Jia Yao's pretty face suddenly became pale.
This despicable bastard still wants to ask for food money?
"Don't look at me like that."
Yun Zheng said seriously, "I only have a few ginsengs in my hand, and I usually don't even want to eat them myself. Isn't it just to entertain you that I'm giving them out to eat? It's unreasonable for you not to give me some food money, right?"
Yun Zheng tried hard to steer the conversation toward ginseng.
But he couldn't let Jia Yao see it, so he could only let her focus on the issue of food expenses.
This was his last effort.
If it really doesn't work, I can only give the "ginseng" directly to Jia Yao.
As for whether she throws it away, gives it to others, or eats it herself, that is not something they can control.
"How much do you want for food?"
Jia Yao raised an eyebrow and asked.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "The ginseng in my hand is a treasure. One ginseng is worth more than a thousand gold! You have eaten at least half a ginseng in the past few days. I will give you five hundred gold! Then, you can give me a hundred war horses!"
War horse?
After all the twists and turns, doesn't he just want me to give him another hundred war horses in exchange?
He really doesn't miss any opportunity!
"I won't give you a penny for food!"
Jia Yao snorted coldly: "Don't even think about taking anything more from me!"
"Really?"
Yun Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to touch Jia Yao's face.
Jia Yao didn't dodge, just looked at Yun Zheng straight.
She just didn't believe that Yun Zheng dared to do anything to her!
Just when Jia Yao thought Yun Zheng was going to touch her face, Yun Zheng suddenly raised his hand.
Before Jia Yao could react, the hairpin on her head fell into Yun Zheng's hands.
“Give it back to me!”
Jia Yao glared at Yun Zheng angrily.
Yun Zheng smiled and readily returned the hairpin to Jia Yao.
His return made Jia Yao a little confused.
Yun Zheng took her hairpin and returned it to her immediately?
What does Yun Zheng mean?
Tease her?
"Didn't you say I couldn't take anything from you?"
Yun Zheng asked back with a smile.
Jia Yao was slightly stunned, then reacted.
Is he making such a fuss just to prove that he can take something away from me?
Suddenly, she felt that Yun Zheng was a little childish.
"Don't you just want a war horse?"
The anger in Jiayao's heart dissipated, and his face returned to calmness. "How about this, when you exchange me for the three border cities, we will exchange prisoners. You release our prisoners, and we will release yours! If you have more prisoners, I will exchange one warhorse for each one!"
When they raided Beiyuan Shoal before, they also captured some Da Gan prisoners.
Although three thousand seriously injured prisoners were released, some of the lightly injured were taken back to the edge of the mountain.
Yun Zheng must have a lot of Beihuan prisoners in his hands.
If the captives could be exchanged back, it would be a good thing for Beihuan.
Is that so?
Yun Zheng thought silently.
He had never thought about this problem before!
It seems that it is impossible to let Jiayao ask for ginseng on her own initiative!
Yun Zheng pondered for a while, then looked up at Jia Yao, "How about this, three horses for one prisoner..."
"dream!"
Jia Yao refused without thinking.
She wanted to get back the captives, but she also didn't want to expand her power.
"Don't worry, just listen to me."
Yun Zheng smiled calmly, "Those prisoners have been working as laborers for me. I estimate that many of them can no longer bear it! If you agree to exchange three war horses for a prisoner, I will give you two extremely valuable hundred-year-old ginsengs. You can use them to save their lives..."
