Chapter 1991 Hetian Jade
The convoy moved quickly across the wasteland.
Originally, they were still concerned about the fact that the imperial concubine was pregnant and was moving very slowly. However, Nan Yan was annoyed by their slowness and insisted several times before she reluctantly let the horses start running.
However, this road is an old road after all, and because Zhu Feng's trip to Yumen Pass had been arranged in advance, someone cleaned the road and cleared some large stones. In addition, spring has arrived, and a lot of green grass has grown on the grassland.
The wheels of the carriage passed by, leaving long tracks.
It's like walking across a green carpet.
Nan Yan sat in the carriage, feeling restless. She often lifted the curtain to look outside, where the scenery was picturesque.
After watching for a while, Zhu Feng reached out and lowered the curtain.
Said: "The wind is strong."
Nan Yan could only sit quietly, thinking for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, when can we reach Yumen Pass?"
Zhu Feng calculated and said, "Probably around dusk."
"So are we going to stay there for the night?"
"It would be better this way. It's not convenient to walk on the wasteland at night."
He naturally remembered the last time they encountered a pack of wolves on their way to Bailong City.
He murmured again: "Besides, I want to see more of that place."
The wind had just been blowing for half a day. She didn't feel anything when it was blowing, but when the curtain was lowered for a while, Nan Yan shivered. Feeling her shiver, Zhu Feng lowered his head and glared at her: "You're cold!"
Nan Yan giggled and leaned against him: "There is the emperor."
"snort!"
Zhu Feng snorted coldly, but still reached out and held her in his arms.
His body temperature was already higher than normal, and Nan Yan leaned against him, feeling as if she were leaning against a stove, instantly warmed. She smiled, her body growing softer as she pressed against his chest, whispering, "But why did the Emperor suddenly think of visiting Yumen Pass?"
“…”
“I haven’t mentioned this before.”
“…”
"It's tiring for everyone to walk such an extra distance, and we have to stay overnight there."
You know, Zhu Feng is not a gentleman who would waste time just to see the scenery.
His time is more related to the fate of the country.
Zhu Feng still had one hand gently stroking her back, and then he said, "Do you remember what I told you about the Parthian envoy asking me for the Jade Robe?"
"Of course, the Emperor is worried about the material of the jade."
"Well, this has been bothering me for the past couple of days. I had a conversation with Tong Sinian the other day, and he mentioned some ancient books he'd read that described the Jade Clothes with Gold Threads. He particularly mentioned the characteristics of the jade used to make it, and there were a few words about it."
"What?"
"Its sound is like gold, clear and long-lasting."
"Warm and lustrous, dense and dense; its sound is like gold, clear and long..." Nan Yan repeated it, thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't this the characteristic of Hetian jade?"
Zhu Feng said: "Not bad."
Nan Yan suddenly came to her senses: "So, the emperor suspects that the jade used to make the golden jade burial suit was produced in Hotan."
"good."
"Besides what's described in the book, is there any other evidence? This matter, after all, concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Your Majesty must be careful."
"certainly,"
Zhu Feng said: "There is another piece of evidence, which is Yumen Pass."
Nan Yan frowned slightly: "Yumen Pass? What kind of evidence is this place?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Say the name again."
