Chapter 183 Pack it up and take it away
Of course, these are just rough impressions and cannot be generalized.

Just as the flesh of a watermelon will turn purple when it becomes diseased, there will be women in the seven countries who do not conform to the inherent impressions of their own countries.

In Zi Nu's eyes, the image of Zhao Guo as a person who loves singing and dancing cannot be erased.

Moreover, the interior of Feixue Pavilion aroused Zi Nu's interest to a great extent.

Natural gemstones are used to reflect light to create a colorful stage, and a snow-covered jade flower stand is built with a whole piece of jade as a gimmick.

When Xue Ji retired at the height of her career, Xue Nu was promptly brought in to take her place. In Zi Nu's eyes, each of these things were worth learning.

On a moonlit night, amidst the colorful light reflected by natural gemstones, the Feixue Jade Flower Terrace looks like a shining pearl inlaid among the mountains.

On the stage, the figure of the Snow Girl gradually emerged. She was wearing a blue and white long dress, the hem of which swayed gently, like clouds dancing in the night sky.

Her white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, sparkling with a silvery luster.

She was adorned with all kinds of jewelry, each piece was exquisite yet not tacky.

A blue jade hairpin was gently pinned in her hair, sparkling with a warm luster.

A pair of white jade earrings swayed gently, as if snowflakes were falling in them.

There was an ice-blue bracelet tied around her wrist, and each bead was crystal clear, like frozen dewdrops.

These jewellery complemented her blue and white dress, making her look even more stunning.

As soft music sounded, the Snow Girl began to dance.

Her dance is light and graceful, like an elegant butterfly flying among the flowers.

Her body rose and fell and turned to the rhythm of the music, and the hem of her skirt drew graceful arcs in the air.

The accessories on her body also jingled as she danced, as if harmonizing with the music, adding a moving melody to this beautiful dance.

As the rhythm of the music gradually quickened, the snow girl's dance became more intense.

She was like a nimble white deer galloping across the snowy plains.

At this moment, she suddenly performed an illusion.

Snowflakes began to appear around her, sparkling in the moonlight, like countless diamonds flying in the air.

Her true energy was released, and ice began to form under her feet. The ice quickly spread and covered the entire Feixue Jade Flower Platform.

However, the Snow Girl was not affected at all.

She stepped barefoot on the ice and began to slide.

Her dancing became more light and graceful, as if she had merged into one with the ice and snow.

Her body drew graceful arcs on the ice, like an elf cruising in the world of ice and snow.

Her dance was very different from her previous style, but equally full of sadness.

Every movement of hers seems to be telling a sad and beautiful story, which moves people.

The audience was silent. In their minds, they should not make any noise to disturb the Snow Girl's solo dance, not even cheers.

The Snow Girl's eyes were filled with endless sorrow, as if she wanted to penetrate the cold winter night and find the lost warmth.

As time passed, the snow girl's dance gradually reached its climax.

Her body spun rapidly on the ice, as if she wanted to integrate herself into this world of ice and snow.

Her skirt fluttered in the air, like a sea of ​​blue flowers blooming on the snowy field.

Her jewelry also made more pleasant sounds as she danced, accompanying this beautiful dance.

Finally, with the sound of a clear bell, the Snow Girl's dance ended.

She slowly stood up and walked around the Feixue Jade Flower Platform.

At this moment, the Feixue Jade Flower Platform has been covered with ice, but in this cold world, the Snow Girl is like a blooming flower, blooming with endless vitality and vigor.

Although her dance has ended, her beauty and sorrow will remain in people's hearts forever.

She stood quietly on the Feixue Jade Flower Platform, like an eternal sculpture.

Her beauty and sorrow seemed to have turned into the elves of this winter night, floating forever in the world of ice and snow.

"it is good!"

"So beautiful!"

"color!"

A group of spectators began to praise Xue Nu's dancing. Seeing this, Zi Nu pulled Gong Sun Ce's collar and said, "Let's go."

Gongsun Ce embraced Zi Nu, turned around suddenly, and appeared in the master bedroom in the backyard of Feixue Pavilion. At this time, Xue Nu finished dancing and came to Xue Ji's room.

Xue Ji was combing Xue Nu's hair, "Xue girl, you don't have to work so hard."

The Snow Girl's eyes flickered slightly. "If it weren't for Sister Xue who saved me and taught me to dance, I'm afraid I would have died. So, I can only think of a way to repay Sister's kindness."

"You." Xue Ji raised her right hand and gently poked Xue Nu's forehead, "You only know how to say nice things."

At this warm moment, an inopportune voice sounded, "It seems that we came at the wrong time."

Zi Nu's voice sounded a bit lazy, but it made Xue Ji feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into my Feixue Pavilion?"

Gongsun Ce shrugged and said, "I knocked on the door, it's not considered trespassing." Xue Ji noticed Gongsun Ce beside Zi Nu at this time, his eyes flashed, he had recognized Gongsun Ce's identity.

Putting aside Gongsun Ce's appearance, the Sun-covering and Heaven-asking swords on his waist were particularly eye-catching. But she couldn't recognize the Dragon Scale Sword on Gongsun Ce's back.

There are three major requirements for opening a brothel:

First, a strong background.

Second, the boss is very tough.

Third, be well-informed.

Zi Nu fits the second and third categories, while Xue Ji belongs to the first and third.

Strictly speaking, Xue Ji's methods are not as good as Zi Nu's.

It is not difficult to see from the part where Yan Chunjun unscrupulously wants to force Xue Nu to marry him.

Xue Ji looks to be in her early thirties this year, but Gongsun Ce estimates that she may be in her forties or above.

Even if Zhao State was destroyed, Feixue Pavilion would still go to Yan State, and the candidate for the boss could only be Xue Ji, not Xue Nu.

Zi Nu can do everything she wants in Xinzheng, but Xue Ji has a hard time in Yan State. The difference in their methods is obvious.

"But General Gongsun?"

Xue Ji was looking at Gongsun Ce with a complicated expression, while Xue Nu asked frankly what was on her mind.

"That's me. I wonder if Xue Ji is interested in selling Feixue Pavilion?"

Xue Ji refused firmly, "Since the commander is here, can't you guess my relationship with the royal family?"

"Ah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what your relationship with the royal family is. I don't need you to find out any information, nor do I need you to take the opportunity to say something to Zhao Wangqian.

Even if you tell King Zhao to move me here now, it will only cause Zhao to suffer thousands more casualties.

Since I debuted, many Grandmasters have died at my hands, such as Zhao Qi, Zhao Yan..."

When these two names came together, Xue Ji's face changed drastically, "It's you!"

Gongsun Ce's attitude remained indifferent. "Show your attitude, old girl. Being a dog under my command is not a mean thing."

Xue Ji knew that the situation was stronger than she was, so she sighed helplessly, "If I can keep Feixue Pavilion intact, I am willing to surrender."

Gongsun Ce raised his eyebrows, as if he was not used to Xue Ji's decisiveness. "Okay, I will organize a caravan to go to the Western Regions in a while, and you will be one of the responsible persons. In addition, the money for purchasing Feixue Pavilion will be delivered soon."

After saying that, Gongsun Ce was about to leave, but Xue Ji stopped him.

"Wait, can you take the Snow Girl away?"

"Oh?"

Gongsun Ce looked at Xue Ji with some surprise.

Xue Ji smiled sadly, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason you came here is because Handan City is about to fall.

I had already made arrangements to evacuate Zhao State and head to Yan State, but I didn't expect that you would capture Handan so soon.

When the city is broken, it is inevitable that some dirty things will happen. Please take the snow girl away and I will bear it alone."

Gongsun Ce looked at Zi Nu beside him and asked, "Do you want to take it with you?"

Zi Nu glanced at Gongsun Ce unhappily, "Together."

Gongsun Ce and Zi Nu were naturally not discussing whether to take Xue Nu with them, but were discussing whether to take Xue Ji with them.

After getting Zi Nu's reply, Gongsun Ce waved his hand. Amid the exclamations of Xue Ji and Xue Nu, the two of them flew into the air with Gongsun Ce.

As an old maid, Xue Ji immediately realized that Gongsun Ce was going to pack her up as well.

Xue Ji felt the breeze lift her up, looked down at the twinkling candlelight below, and said helplessly, "Why is General Gongsun so overbearing?"

Zi Nu glanced at Xue Ji and replied softly, "I originally wanted to buy Feixue Pavilion and bring Xue Ji under my command to complete my career.

But Master Xueji, you and I have overlooked one thing, our General Gongsun is a man, so it is inevitable that he will have other thoughts. "

Xue Ji was suddenly speechless. This reason was really hard to refute.

However, the situation is now irreversible and Xue Ji feels that she has no way to resist and can only accept the status quo.

Therefore, Xue Ji became interested in Gongsun Ce's trade with the Western Regions. "May I ask General Gongsun, what do you want from the trade with the Western Regions?"

Gongsun Ce took a small bag from his waist and threw it to Xue Ji, "This contains spices that the merchants from the Western Regions went through so much hardship to bring to the Central Plains.

Peppercorns, sandalwood, agarwood, cardamom, benzoin, myrrh, agarwood, pepper, storax, tulip, storax, linalool, rosemary, pilose, amla, asafoetida, nagar, agarwood..."

Xue Ji opened the small package and saw that it contained some rare spices.

In addition to the traveling merchants from the Western Regions who crossed the desert into the Central Plains, the Qi fleet would occasionally pick up some crazy people at sea who dared to row all the way from Central Asia on broken shipboards.

These crazy people would carry these spices with them for deodorization and cooking.

All we can say is that these spices are hard to come by and are very expensive.

Even if we can find the seeds and bring them back to the Central Plains for cultivation, their prices will still remain high in the short term.

Gongsun Ce pointed to the purple flowers in the small bag and said, "This is alfalfa, which is an excellent forage for breeding cattle and sheep. It can accelerate the growth of cattle and sheep and increase the productivity of cow and goat milk."

Xue Ji keenly noticed the huge business opportunities in alfalfa and these spices, and at this time Xue Ji suddenly became very interested in Gongsun Ce.
