Chapter 1931: Looking for a Needle in a Haystack
When Ye Zhengyi proposed to make a "deal", the envoy of the Parthian Empire was stunned, and even Ying Shao and Gu Yiyou were shocked.
trade?
The envoy from the Parthian Empire came to discuss cooperation, so why did Ye Zheng propose a deal?
Moreover, the emperor was standing behind him! How dare he speak like that!
Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to speak rashly, fearing that they would say something irreversible and the situation would get out of control. Gu Yiyou frowned and took a step forward: "Sir..."
Although he called him "Sir", his eyes were looking at the guards behind him.
Zhu Feng didn't move.
His expression told everyone that he agreed with Ye Zheng's actions.
Suddenly, no one knew what to say.
Instead, Nadab exchanged a glance with the several deputy envoys behind him, then turned to Ye Zheng and asked doubtfully, "Sir, do you want to discuss a 'deal' with us?"
"good."
Ye Zheng said this in a firm tone.
Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.
But no one knew that his palms, which were resting on the table, were covered in cold sweat.
Na replied, "Then I wonder what you want to trade with us?"
“…”
Ye Zheng was silent for a moment, then winked at Ying Shao, asking him to withdraw the personal guards guarding the lobby.
Ying Shao, on the other hand, was a little hesitant.
After all, the emperor is still here.
However, Zhu Feng had a blank expression on his face and did not move. Ying Shao immediately understood that this was something the emperor had discussed with Ye Zheng in advance.
So he didn't say anything, just waved his hand gently, and withdrew with a few personal soldiers.
But the door outside was closed, and they couldn't leave. They just stood not far away from the door with their backs to them. The sun had already set, and the backs of these people blended into the dark twilight, and their outlines were almost invisible.
Even if you speak in a low voice, no one can hear you.
In the lobby, only the special envoys from Parthia, Ye Zheng, Zhu Feng, and Gu Yiyou were left.
The atmosphere became a little weird.
The envoy of the Parthian Empire obviously also felt that the "deal" that this adult wanted to make was not a simple one.
So everyone looked at Ye Zheng quietly.
Before actually speaking, Ye Zheng was still a little hesitant, but only for a moment.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I have something and I want to find out the whereabouts of its owner. If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this thing is in your Parthia Kingdom."
Nadab asked, "Who is it that your Excellency is looking for?"
Ye Zheng didn't say anything else. After all, this question was no longer something he could answer.
He just turned his head and winked at Zhu Feng, or rather, he was asking for his consent. Zhu Feng took a step forward, took out something from his arms, and placed it on the table in front of Nada and the others.
"It's the owner of this sachet."
“…”
The lobby suddenly became quiet again.
Nadab seemed to sense something unusual about this. He carefully picked up the sachet, examined it, and muttered, "This, this thing doesn't seem to be from our country—huh? This smell, this fragrance, is from our country."
Zhu Feng said, "Not bad."
“…”
"This sachet is of the Central Plains style, but the incense inside is from your country."
“…”
"So, we—we would like to ask our special envoy to search your country for the person who made this sachet. This person should be from the Central Plains, but he should have been living in your country all along."
"this--"
After hearing Omri's retelling, Nadab frowned and said, "This area is too large."
Indeed, such a wide range would almost include all the people from the Central Plains who were living far away in the Parthian Empire, and it is unknown how many merchants were traveling around. To investigate in this way would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"or……"
Seeing Zhu Feng and the others showing hesitation and difficulty, Nada said again: "Can you give me a rough range?"
“…”
"Male or female, age, appearance and features."
“…”
"With these, I can go back and look for it."
“…”
"If we just go door to door like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out even after ten or twenty years."
Ye Zheng also looked at Zhu Feng.
This sachet was almost certainly made by a woman, but was it someone else who did it, or was it made by herself and given to the late Empress Chen? And who was the person who gave the sachet to her? Is it possible to say for sure?
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and was silent for a while before saying, "Gender, age, appearance, characteristics, we know nothing about these."
"ah……"
This time, even Nadab frowned.
How do I find this?
Is it really as he just said, to investigate door to door?
Zhu Feng added, "The only thing is, he should be over sixty years old."
"oh?"
"Moreover," he thought for a moment and added, "this person must have arrived in your country at least thirty years ago."
“…”
After hearing this, Nadab looked down at the sachet in his hand.
Although this range is quite broad and difficult to find, it can at least help them screen out more than half of the people.
After all, their king was determined to obtain the Golden Jade Burial Suit.
Then Nadab said, "Very well, I will report this matter to the king, but I can make the decision to agree to your request first."
Zhu Feng retreated back behind Ye Zheng.
Ye Zheng said, "Okay."
“…”
"That way, even if our deal is successful, we can do it simultaneously."
“…”
"You guys find someone, and we can start making the Jade Clothes with Gold Threads."
Nadab asked hurriedly, “When will it be ready?”
Ye Zheng thought for a moment and said, "As I just told you, the Golden Jade Burial Suit has disappeared from the Central Plains for hundreds of years. If we want to recreate it, we need to consult ancient books and train craftsmen. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
“…”
"But if you can find the people, we can make the clothes."
Nadab thought about it and said, "Okay!"
Ye Zheng said: "Then we have reached an agreement."

As soon as the sun set, it got dark quickly. Soon, it was pitch dark outside.
Xue Yun was still sitting by the window.
At this moment, there is only a bright moon hanging in the sky, illuminating the outside with clear light.
The moonlight was the same as last night, but the entire Lianxin Club was so quiet that there was not a sound at all. It had been a whole day, and Master Huang and the others had not come out yet.
Xue Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried and a little strange.
What important matter were they discussing?
She wanted to go and see, but what Mr. Huang said rang in her ears again. She did not dare to act rashly and could only sit by the window helplessly, watching the river flowing quietly outside. The gurgling sound of the water made the Lianxin Club even quieter.
but--
Xue Yun looked at the river and suddenly said, "Strange."
