As soon as the envoy team left the border, they were greeted by local officials. After the greeting, they began to advance to the southern capital of the Nanman capital. It took many days to travel, and they would rest at the official post along the way.

Jiang Lan lifted the curtain and watched secretly. This is the motherland of Chu Qingcheng's mother Zhuang Mei, and Shangguanhong's home. Moreover, she has been curious for a long time, and finally she has reached half of the Nvzun country. For women, it must be better than Be comfortable in heaven.

The streets in Nanman are wider and the houses are taller and larger. Due to the hot climate in the south, pedestrians on the road wear less clothes. The clothes are made of very thin material, which only covers the body. There are many pedestrians on the road, both men and women, young and old, and from the appearance, they are all Chinese ethnic groups. Men usually wear a round-neck long shirt, and women wear a long skirt with a breast wrapping as a base, a transparent gauze over the outer layer, and faintly fragrant shoulders. The contours and the color of the skin, some have long hair tied into a bun, and some are scattered behind. There are scenes of all ages and genders, making Jiang Lan think that she is wearing it back again, but now it is only a scene of a costume film.

But it's not these things that make her look at it with gusto. Sometimes a man comes over, and behind him, there will be a group of beautiful women, all of which are fat and thin. Different men, old and young. What a miraculous world this is, Jiang Lan couldn't help thinking about whether he would like to be one of those women or the one alone. The conclusion is that he doesn't want either, it's too scary.

In addition to these past characters, Jiang Lan also noticed some shops next to it, which had the unique mark of the Chu family.

After traveling through various cities, we finally arrived at the southern capital.

Nandu City has a very high city wall, which is guarded by soldiers. The people who come and go pass through the high city gate. The roads are very spacious, the city is full of buildings, densely populated, and has developed transportation. bustling place.

Xia Henqiu entered the palace to meet the Nanman monarch, and Jiang Lan and Xia Zi were left in the embassy.

Although Xia Henqiu promised not to act independently, Jiang Lan still decided to take advantage of this spare time to visit the Nanman Chu Clan to find out the situation.

Xia Zi insisted on going with him. As a standard Chinese man, when he saw a group of men standing behind the women, don't look at his calm surface, but in his heart, he estimated that there are 100,000 grass and mud horses galloping past. What kind of world is Nima? Even if the young woman is wearing exposed clothes and swaying around outside, she actually married a bunch of husbands. There is no reason for it. No wonder it is called the Nanman Kingdom. Therefore, when Jiang Lan was going out, he had to follow him. Who knows what would happen in a while. If something really happened, I'm really sorry for the desperate protection of Young Master Chu and Lan Sheng.

Jiang Lan was actually more optimistic on the road, so without much difficulty, he found a Chu firm. This firm covers a large area, with crowds coming in and out one after another, and a luxurious carriage parked at the door.

She stood there hesitating whether to go in or not, when she suddenly saw a head sticking out of the carriage.

Jiang Lan turned around reflexively. This was a woman, a woman in red, with white and black skin, quite beautiful. This was someone Jiang Lan knew. In this world, besides Chu Huaiyu, there is another woman who likes to wear red clothes, and that is Shi Niang Shangguanhong. She seemed to be moving freely and should have been detoxified. However, isn't she with her master Wen Daolin? How can it be here? Could it be that Wen Daolin is also here?

Jiang Lan always felt that there was something wrong with his memory, as if he couldn't catch up, but now is not the time to pursue it. Jiang Lan wondered if her master was here, would she want to meet each other? This is a serious problem. On the one hand, she lied. Once Xia Henqiu meets Wen Daolin, the big lie of the mask will be worn, and the trust will be lost. On the other hand, her mask cannot be taken off. , what if you take it off and can't put it back on? She found that the forehead was a little damaged, and she did not dare to take the risk. But most importantly, how can she explain that she came back from the dead and then appeared in Nanman again? She was buried alive in a mudslide that he saw with his own eyes.

Xia Zi saw Jiang Lan dodging, not knowing why. At this time, a young man, dressed in luxury, came out of the business and walked towards the carriage. Jiang Lan saw Shangguanhong stretch out his hand and pull him into the carriage, and the two embraced each other in an intimate manner.

Jiang Lan was sluggish on the spot, and felt that something was rolling in his heart, and a burst of anger rose up. How can this be, isn't she the master's fiancee? Why wait for twenty years, liar, does the master know? Could it be that the master just knew, so they broke up? So Shangguan Hong went back to Nanman?

Jiang Lan was still sulking when the carriage ran. She recovered and hurried to chase, but since she lost her martial arts, she was useless, so the carriage quickly disappeared in front of them.

Xia Zi pulled at her sleeve and scolded her, "Why are you crazy, what are you running for?"

Jiang Lan ignored him, panted, walked back to the door of Chu's firm in disappointment, thought about it, and walked in.

There are many people in the firm, and the layout is similar to that of the Chu Clan in the Celestial Dynasty. Jiang Lan thinks of Chu Qingcheng and feels a little uncomfortable. The first time she saw him was in the Chu Clan’s firm in the Celestial Dynasty. There is no light in the prison.

Jiang Lan took a deep breath, glanced around, and then began to look at the goods on the shelf. Xiao Er followed behind them, a little confused, but seeing that the clothes of these two people were very different from others, and they didn't look like people from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, he became careful.

Jiang Lan said casually, "The carriage at the door just now is very good. Do you have such a carriage for sale here?"

Xiao Er became proud as soon as he heard it, "It's the carriage of our boss and his wife and owner. You can't buy it. There are almost there, but it's not here. I'm going to Chu's horse shop."

Jiang Lan nodded, "Forget it, you have quite a complete range of goods here. I want to do a long-term business with you. I don't know who has the final say here."

Xiao Er looked at her suspiciously, "I don't know where the guests come from?"

Jiang Lan whispered in his ear, "The Celestial Dynasty."

Xiao Er's eyes widened, but it wasn't because of jealousy and anger. He didn't suffer from wars and chaos for the capital merchants far away from the frontier, so he cared more about interests.

Xiao Er took them to the back room, and then went to call the shopkeeper.

Jiang Lan waited for a while, and a man in his forties entered the room. He looked her up and down, and then said politely and distantly, "I don't know who the distinguished guest is, so I can make such a decision."

He sat in front of Jiang Lan, "It's not that I underestimate you, you know that Tianchao and Nanman have just finished fighting, and it is estimated that it is impossible to restore the previous appearance in a short period of time."

Jiang Lan smiled, very confident, "Of course I have a solution. Did you know that the Heavenly Dynasty sent envoys to your country?"

The shopkeeper nodded.

Jiang Lan added, "Do you know that the envoy is the Prime Minister of the Celestial Dynasty Xia Henqiu?"

The shopkeeper nodded again, "I heard that, could it be that you are..."

"By the way," Jiang Lan said with a smile, "I'm Xia Xiang's fiancée, do you think I can do this?" She lied and didn't write drafts, her face was not red and her heart was not beating. Of course, it seemed like that. She also admires herself.

Xia Zi coughed violently on the side. He covered his mouth and his face was flushed. Seeing Jiang Lan speechless, his eyes couldn't be more astonished. Jiang Lan got up and patted him on the back, "I know, I know, don't be nervous. I promised him not to tell the public, it's not a serious business. I told you not to follow me, but to follow, be careful, it is also a disease if you are not acclimatized. ."

She winked at him secretly, then sat back again, "This is my family's personal servant. Because I don't trust me, I deliberately stayed by my side before entering the palace."

Xia Zi hid to the side and coughed non-stop. He couldn't stand her open mouth. He was really afraid that he would expose her if he couldn't help it.

The shopkeeper looked at them in disbelief and didn't speak.

Jiang Lan didn't force it, "I know it's hard for you to believe it now, but I can't talk to you anyway. If you really want to buy or sell, you have to find your boss to make a decision. I live in the embassy, ​​you may as well understand. Come to me. However, there is a time limit, and I may talk to other merchants, if it is too late."

Jiang Lan got up to greet Xia Zi and left the firm.

On the way back, Xia Zi complained, "What nonsense are you talking about, when did my lord have a fiancée like you? Don't ruin my lord's reputation."

Jiang Lan disapproved, "Those who make big things don't care about the details, they're just a name, they're just for use, they can't die, and your family doesn't marry a wife, what does it matter? Besides, it's in Nanman now, and the situation forces you to return to the Celestial Dynasty. Who will know?"

Xia Zi's face was full of disapproval, "But, why do you say that you are Master Xia's fiancee?"

Jiang Lan ignored him and moved forward.

Of course she had intentions. She assumed a noble and credible identity, and used this identity to attract the Chu family's boss to negotiate with her. She thought that as a businessman, the most important thing was the issue of interests. The Celestial Dynasty and the Nanman have fought a lot since ancient times, but they have never stopped the pulse of commercial exchanges, so the needs of economic interests will dominate everything. Then, in this way, she can have a bright and positive contact with the top management of the Nanman Chu clan, which is very important to her.

She pressed the left string leaf hidden under her clothes. For the safety of Chu Qingcheng, she didn't want to reveal her identity, and she couldn't let others know who she was, especially the existence of this leaf. Thinking of it this way, the identity of Xia Henqiu's fiancée is still the best use. Forget it, aren't the two of them good friends anyway? It's worth making a little sacrifice. Reputation is nothing, she doesn't mind at the end of the mess, throwing dirty water on her head to restore his reputation.
