Chapter 1993: Khotan jade

The convoy went very fast on the wasteland.
Originally, they were still worried about the imperial concubine, who was pregnant with Liujia, and walked very slowly. On the contrary, Nan Yan disliked them and said it several times before reluctantly letting the carriage horse run.
However, this road can be regarded as an old road in the end, and because Zhu Feng's going to Yumen Pass has been arranged in advance, someone first swept the road to one side and cleared some big rocks. In addition, when spring is here, the grassland is not growing. Young green grass.
The wheels of the carriage ran over, leaving long traces.
It's like walking through a green blanket.
Nan Yan sat in the carriage, restless, often opening the curtain to look outside, the picturesque scenery.
After watching for a while, Zhu Feng stretched out his hand to lower the curtain.
Said: "The wind is strong."
Nan Yan could only sit peacefully, thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "The emperor, when can I get to Yumen Pass?"
Zhu Feng had the final say, and said: "It's probably evening."
"Then shall we stay there for one night?"
"It's best. It's not convenient to travel on the wasteland at night."
He naturally remembered the last time they encountered wolves on the way to White Dragon City.
He murmured: "Also, I want to see more there."
The wind had just been blowing for a long time. When the wind was blowing, I didn’t feel it. After the curtain was down for a while, Nan Yan shuddered instead, and felt her shiver. Zhu Feng stared at her, "It's cold!"
Nan Yan grinned and leaned on him: "There is an emperor."
"Humph!"
Zhu Feng snorted coldly, but still stretched out his hand to embrace her.
His body temperature was originally higher than that of ordinary people. Nan Yan leaned against him, as if leaning against a stove, and immediately felt warmth. She smiled, her softer whole being pressed against his arms, and whispered: "But how come the emperor suddenly remembered that he was going to visit Yumenguan?"
"..."
"Never said this before."
"..."
"Now that we have to walk this long way, everyone is working hard, and we have to stay overnight there."
You know, Zhu Feng is not an elegant person who wastes time to see the scenery.
His time is more related to the national fortune.
Zhu Feng gently stroked her back with one hand and said, "You remember that I told you that the envoy of the Anxi Kingdom asked me about the jade garment."
"Of course, the emperor is worried about the material of jade."
"Well, I have had a headache in the past two days. I talked to Tong Sinian that day. He said that some ancient books he had read had descriptions of jade garments made of gold thread. Especially talking about making jade garments. There are just a few words about the characteristics of the jade."
"what?"
"Warm and moist, meticulously chestnut; its voice is like gold, clear and longer."
"Warm and moist, meticulously chestnut; its voice is like gold, clearer and longer..." Nan Yan repeated, after thinking about it, and said: "This, isn't this the characteristic of Hetian jade?"
Zhu Feng said: "Not bad."
Nan Yan suddenly came back to his senses: "Therefore, the emperor suspected that the jade used to make the jade suit was produced in Hotan.
"Not bad."
"This, in addition to the words described in the book, is there any other corroboration? This matter, after all, is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the emperor must be careful."
"of course,"
Zhu Feng said: "There is another proof, that is Yumen Pass."
Nan Yan frowned slightly: "Yumen Pass? What kind of evidence is this place?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "You say this name again."
