In my heart, I was even more puzzled. Why did that Turk Prince say that I was a cat? Why did he hide it from me? Why do you have to help me? However, this was also good. The inn was safe and sound.

"Does Master Guo and the others know?" The fewer people who know about this, the better, and avoid being implicated by the innocent.

Little Fishy replied:

"They don't know, how would I dare tell them? If they knew we were going to provoke the Turks, what would they do? Oh right, Brother Xiao, did you hear something last night? Where did you go? Causing me to worry about you is a good thing that the heavens are on my side, there will be no danger. "

Although Little Fishy's words were usually glib, at this moment, her eyes were indeed full of concern. She couldn't help but feel touched as she said:

"No, I went up for a while and came down. I saw a sneaky shadow and thought it was a thief, so I chased it out. I didn't expect to go out into the woods and disappear. I got lost too and came back at daybreak."

Little Fishy was a straightforward person. She didn't doubt my words in the slightest, and instead said with worry:

"You are a weak scholar with no strength to tie up a chicken, how can you go after a thief? "If you meet me again, just call me."

While they were chatting, Master Guo shouted,

"It's getting late. Get up and get ready to go."

I agreed in the room and told Little Fishy,

"Hurry back to your room and pack up. I also need to change clothes and clean up."

As soon as the sun rose over the horizon to the east, we had finished our breakfast and were on our way to meet the first rays of gold in the morning.

Because we didn't sleep last night, Fishy and I sat in the carriage and dozed off. After walking for a few miles, we couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in the carriage.

When I woke up, it was almost noon. I was awakened by a commotion. I lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Master Guo arguing with someone:

"If you buy our horses, how shall we go? "The town is more than 100 miles away. What do you want us to do?"

I jumped down from the carriage and saw that it was the Turks who were glaring at Master Guo. They looked extremely fierce.

"Sir, there is no need to argue with this old man! Didn't he refuse to sell? If we don't give him the silver, we won't be selling it! " A Turkic said as he came up to snatch the carriage.

Master Guo turned pale with fright. He hurriedly led a group of servants to stop them. How could the Turkic people be so strong and ferocious? How could these young men be a match for them?

What a narrow road, so many paths, why do we have to walk on the same road as these Turkic people? Seeing the Turkic horses lying on the ground in front of him, some of them were still twitching. It seemed that Little Fishy had used quite a lot of medicine.

It's a shame that they want to steal our horses. Fishy and I looked at each other, and Fishy looked at Master Guo apologetically. Of course, she didn't dare to speak the truth.

"Wait!" The Turkic prince of last night waved his hand to stop his men.

As expected, no one dared to snatch it, so they threw away their hands and glared at us.

The Turk Prince stared straight at me. After looking for a while, he said gently,

"You don't want to sell horses, I wonder if you could give us a ride in your carriage? Just go to the town up ahead. "

With that, he took out a gold ingot and handed it over to Master Guo.

No one expected the Turkic people to change so quickly. They looked at each other in shock. Master Guo was a businessman, so he naturally understood this principle. Not to mention that the Turkic people were not easy to mess with. He took the gold and said:

"Alright, if it is just a short journey, I am willing to do so."

I noticed that the Turkic people, including the Chinese man, were all looking at the Turkic prince with surprise, as if he had suddenly become kind, but no one dared to refute me, and so they all got into the carriage and drove the sick Turkic horse into a wagon.

Master Guo had left three carriages open for the Turkic people, and the caravans were taking the other carriages, but the Turkic prince suddenly came to the carriage that Little Fishy and I were sitting in and said in a deliberately gentle tone:

"Brothers, can I ride with you?"

Little Fishy's face turned green. As expected of someone with a guilty conscience.

My heart was pounding, and I wondered if he recognized me. Even though the light was dim last night, he might have recognized me if I had recognized him. But if he had recognized me, why didn't he arrest me? Instead, you're being so courteous to us?

He thought to himself, but didn't dare to show it. He could only force himself to say:

"Fine." Then he made a space for him to enter, and Fishy snorted her disapproval, and sat down at the farthest place from the Turkic.

His underling seemed to be worried and wanted to ride with him, but after he spoke a few harsh words in Turkic, the underling retreated with his tail between his legs.

I turned my head and parted the curtain, pretending to look at the scenery outside the car. In fact, for several days I had seen nothing but the usual scenery outside the window, and I was already tired of it, but only to avoid turning my head to face with the Turk Prince in front of me.

Little Fishy simply fell asleep without being able to see anything.

After a moment, my eyes lit up. A snow-white jade piece fell on the red silk thread and hung in front of my eyes. It swayed twice like a butterfly spreading its wings. Under the sunlight, it emitted a warm brilliance.

Isn't this the communication jade Yang Liang gave me? Shocked, I followed the warm jade to see the hand holding the warm jade before moving it to the other party's face.

The Turkic prince was looking at me with a smile. When he saw me turn my face, he withdrew the warm jade and said in his stiff Chinese:

"Have you seen this jade?"

I have always carried this piece of jade with me. I subconsciously touched my waist and found that it was no longer there. I must have accidentally left it behind last night.

Yet it was picked up by him.

And now, what should I do? If this jade is mine, then wouldn't it just admit defeat? It was dimly lit last night, and I am now dressed in a new outfit. He cannot be sure that I was the one who eavesdropped last night, but is he purposely testing me by revealing this jade because he was not sure of my identity?

It was indeed difficult for me to sacrifice this piece of jade to protect myself. This was something that Yang Liang had spent a lot of effort to obtain, not to mention that he had originally said that it was only to borrow money, if the master of this Sky Warm Jade wanted it back, wouldn't that make it difficult for Yang Liang?

For a moment, as if he was scratching his heart, he didn't know how to reply. He was looking at me with narrowed eyes, and all I could do was pretend to be calm.

"This piece of jade is extremely beautiful. It is truly rarely seen in the world. I wonder where you obtained it from?"

The Turkic prince laughed out loud, his eyes filled with craftiness:

"A girl gave it to me."

It seemed that he had already seen through my female identity and did not dare look at his eyes, only staring at the warm jade. This person was indeed cunning, not mentioning picking it up, but saying that I gave it to him. This made my following words even more difficult to speak, but he braced himself and asked:

"I wonder if you would be willing to part with this jade and sell it to me?" As a prince of Turkic, he naturally lacks silver, but I have no other choice, I can only try my best to save him, I hope he doesn't recognize the jade, if not how can I afford it?
