    Today¡¯s update is a little late, but it¡¯s not less ~~~~~ I have never run so fast before. Xiao Yi couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. This time, he was blessed by the python. Not only did he get a complete white fox skin and giant python gallbladder, but also  I found that my leg skills had improved to a higher level, and I could actually run hundreds of feet at a sprint speed of 100 meters.  Xiao Yi really laughed wildly for a while before expressing his happiness.  Leaving White Fox to enter the city, she was stopped by two gatekeepers at the city gate.  When the two of them saw the white fox in Xiao Yi's hand, they immediately felt jealous. They actually asked Xiao Yi for the high entry fee of 500 guan. The reason was that the white fox skin could be sold for at least 3,000 guan in the city.  Xiao Yi could get such a huge sum of money, and he immediately cursed the dog officer in his heart, so he had to hide far away from the city gate and carefully peel off the white fox skin.  Then he hid the white fox skin in his clothes, walked around the south gate and paid ten copper coins to enter the city, and entered Xiangyang City from the east gate.  You have to pay ten copper coins to enter the city, and you have to lie that you are going to the city to visit relatives. If you want to do business, you have to pay at least a copper coin before you are allowed to go. Xiao Yi secretly thought that in ancient times, if he had no money to travel far away, he really couldn't afford it.  Entering the city, Xiao Yi couldn't help but have his eyes opened.  This Xiangyang City is much more prosperous and lively than the Jiankang City back then, with cars and people coming and going.  Presumably, after the unification, there was no war in the world, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian implemented the policy of recuperation and recuperation, which resulted in this result.  I don¡¯t know what Jiankang has become now. Maybe it has been changed to Jinling now. Xiao Yi was moved by the scene and missed his hometown a little.  Walking on the streets of Xiangyang City, vendors set up stalls along the way to sell goods. Pedestrians came and went in groups vying to buy, and the sounds of bargaining came and went.  As Xiao Yi walked, he asked where there were merchants who purchased animal skins. Someone told him that Wang De¡¯s store in the west of the city had recently purchased all kinds of animal skins.  But some well-intentioned people persuaded Xiao Yi to set up a street stall to sell food, so that he could sell it at a good price.  Xiao Yi inquired about the specific location, so he came to Wang De Shop.  The shop owner was very happy to learn that Xiao Yi planned to sell a rare white fox skin, and hurriedly invited him in to sit down and talk in detail.  "It's just that there is no businessman, so Boss Wang only gave him 300 yuan when he saw that Xiao Yi was young and a foreigner and deliberately lowered the price.  Xiao Yi remembered that when the two city gate officials asked him for a tax of 500 guan, they mentioned that the white fox skin was worth 3,000 guan, so naturally they would not sell it to him at such a low price.  After several haggling sessions, Boss Wang saw that Xiao Yi was eager to spend money, so when the price reached 1,000 guan, he stopped raising the price.  Xiao Yi secretly complained that Boss Wang was too greedy, so he remembered the advice of a kind person and left the shop planning to set up a stall by himself.  Looking at Xiao Yi's leaving figure, Boss Wang immediately snorted coldly, called a waiter and said: "Go and ask Wang Mazi to bring some people to take care of that kid, and I will give him a 10% benefit when he gets the white fox skin back."  It was obviously not the first time the guy had done something like this, and he immediately agreed with a wicked smile on his face.  But it was said that Xiao Yi was also very business-minded and knew that this white fox fur was not something ordinary people could afford, so he inquired about where the rich families in Xiangyang City lived and went from door to door selling it loudly.  Xiao Yi¡¯s voice was very loud, and through the high wall and gate, the people inside could hear it clearly.  White fox fur is very rare, so many wealthy young men and wealthy ladies came out to see the product.  "Young gentlemen and ladies, please take a look. This is a rare white fox skin that is rare to find in a thousand years. It has no hair at all. It is a complete skin without any damage." "How much does it cost? I want it.  !" "Why should I give it to you? I'm interested in it too!" "I was the one who liked it first. Please give me the price!" Several young masters and rich ladies immediately started hooting and vying to buy it.  Xiao Yi was immediately happy. He hoped that this situation would happen, so he said: "Young Master and Miss, I know that you are not short of money, and I don't dare to offend you. That's good, I will give you a minimum price, everyone is sincere  If you want to buy it, just increase the price. In the end, the one with the highest price will get the white fox skin. What do you think? " Everyone wants to get the white fox skin, but after all, they are all wealthy families, and there are many powerful people. They don't want to offend each other, so they  Agree to Xiao Yi's proposal.  Xiao Yi knows the essentials of doing business and sells to whomever he wants. Seeing a group of rich people, if the reserve price is too low, they still think they don't have enough status. Even if they ask for more, the starting price is three thousand guan.  Sure enough, when everyone heard that the price was indeed expensive, they became more competitive with each other, and some people immediately started to increase the price.  "Three thousand guan!" "Three thousand guan!" "Three thousand guan!" "Three thousand two hundred guan!" Every time everyone increased the price, it was more than 100 guan. Xiao Yi's heart suddenly became overjoyed, and he secretly thought that they were all rich people.  ! ?¡°It¡¯s just that there are also rich and poor people among the rich.  When the price soon increased to more than 6,000 guan, only one man and one woman were left. The other wealthy young men and ladies withdrew unwillingly, but they were reluctant to leave because they wanted to see how the white fox skin would turn out.  Xiao Yi has been secretly observing the last two people. The man looked like a foreigner at first glance. He was about twenty years old, with jewels all over his body and a golden sword on his waist. He looked like he had a lot of background.  It's just that every time he asked to increase the price, he was very cheerful and didn't look at anyone else at all. His eyes were always staring directly at the woman next to him.  The woman came with him. She was also dressed in noble clothes, but she was undoubtedly from the Central Plains.  The woman looked young, but she was extremely beautiful, with a bit of heroic spirit between her eyebrows. Xiao Yi couldn't help but look at her a few more times, she was quite comparable to his sister Xiao Jing back then.  These two people came here together, but why did they raise the prices of each other?  Xiao Yi was a little puzzled, and soon got the answer.  "Tuoba You, what do you mean by this?" Tuoba You smiled slightly and said: "To be honest with the princess, Tuoba You saw that the princess liked this white fox skin, so he planned to buy it himself and give it to you!  " It turned out that this woman was actually a princess, Xiao Yi couldn't help being surprised.  The people next to her also looked surprised and looked at her.  Some people even exclaimed: "I heard that Princess Lanling, the daughter of King Wei, has come to Xiangyang City to pay homage to her late father these days. Could it be the one in front of me?" Tuoba You laughed a few times and said, "A few of you are.  She is discerning! That¡¯s right! The fairy-like beautiful woman in front of you is the current emperor¡¯s favorite Princess Lanling!¡± Everyone exclaimed again and saluted her, and some even wanted to pay her a fortune.  Xiao Yi's white fox skin is given to Princess Lanling.  The princess of Lanling was immediately displeased when her identity was revealed: "You are really hateful! You have to go against this princess, don't you?" But Tuoba You smiled and said without caring at all: "How dare you go with the princess?  Against? It¡¯s true that I fell in love at first sight when I saw the princess. In this life, Tuoba You will not marry anyone other than the princess.¡± Tuoba You showed his love boldly without any reservation, but Princess Lanling couldn¡¯t stand such frivolous remarks.  Suddenly her face darkened and she scolded: "If I hadn't seen that you are the distinguished guest of the imperial uncle, I would not have paid attention to you. If you had known better, you would have died of this evil intention as soon as possible. I would rather marry a beggar from the Central Plains."  I will never marry a foreign barbarian like you!" "Well said!" Xiao Yi immediately praised, and then said: "The princess's words really boost the ambition of us Central Plains people, since the princess likes this white fox skin.  , I will only sell this beauty to the princess." When Tuoba You heard this, he was furious and said: "The one with the highest price will get it, how can you people from the Central Plains not keep your word?" "Xiao Yi was about to say it.  When he retorted to him, he saw that Princess Lanling suddenly stopped Xiao Yi, turned around and said to Tuoba You: "Since you want to buy it so much, just pay 10,000 yuan, and I will not fight with you!"  Then, Princess Lanling listened to Xiao Yi and said softly: "These foreign barbarians are stupid and don't want to give up their money. When you get the money, go to Room 1, Tianzi, Fulai Inn, East Street and wait. I, Princess, have  I want to tell you something!" Xiao Yi was in a daze when he heard this. He didn't know what kind of medicine the Lanling Princess was selling, but she breathed like blue in Xiao Yi's ear. Xiao Yi had never been so close to a woman in the past eight years.  , couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and immediately nodded in agreement with her.  Na Tuoba You was afraid that Princess Lanling would regret it, so he hurriedly ordered his men to get one thousand taels of gold to trade with Xiao Yi.  It was also the first time in Xiao Yi¡¯s life that he saw one thousand taels of gold, which weighed more than sixty kilograms.  Seeing that Tuoba You walked away with Princess Lanling in a hurry, Xiao Yi secretly complained that this Hu man was really stupid and rich, and he was so generous in order to please the beauty. He made a big profit this time.  A group of young men and ladies nearby immediately cast envious glances at Xiao Yi. If they hadn't seen Xiao Yi hanging up his sword, they might have tried to rob him.  Xiao Yi knew that wealth should not be exposed, so he did not dare to stay for a moment, so he hurriedly picked up the gold and left.  Thinking of Princess Lanling¡¯s words, Xiao Yi inquired all the way to Room 1 Tianzi of Fulai Inn to wait.  About half an hour later, a little girl dressed in green hurriedly entered the room carrying a bag.  Xiao Yi recognized her at a glance. She was the Princess Lanling he had just seen. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why is Princess Lanling dressed like this?"  It¡¯s just food!¡± When Xiao Yi heard this, he immediately understood that the woman in front of him was not the Princess of Lanling at all, and immediately asked: ¡°You are not the Princess of Lanling?¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense!¡±  The woman in green clothes immediately changedAs if he were a man, he said straight to the point: "According to the rules of the world, for your one thousand taels of gold, three hundred taels of white fox skin must be shaved off, and the other seven hundred taels need to be added two to one to make five and one half. If you think it is unreasonable, then this girl  I'll give you the white fox skin. The one thousand taels of gold are only 100 taels of gold." As she said that, the woman in green took out a white fox skin from her bag. It was Xiao.  The one that Yi sold to Tuoba You, a stupid and rich barbarian.  Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, he actually bumped into a female liar.  "Are you really brave enough to pretend to be Princess Lanling? Tuoba You believed it to be true, but how did you do it?" The woman in green asked, "Didn't you believe it too?" Xiao Yi was speechless.  At that time, he believed that she was the Princess of Lanling. He couldn't help but realize that there were clever liars in all eras, but this time, he had gained experience. Fortunately, the person he cheated on was not him, and he felt lucky.
