Jingshu heard the words and said to his heart, "did your highness know his identity early on? Just acting? "

Hao lianche's head waved slightly, "it's not called acting. I really don't like Qi Qi's frequent contacts with him. He must be very smart to do so much business. Businessmen pay attention to fighting for every penny. If Qi Qi owes him, it's not good."

”Besides, it's hard for Ji Xiao to do any business. He has to do medicine business. There is no silver here. "

People who have fought wars know that once there is a real war between the two countries, in addition to food and grass, the first thing to bear the brunt is medicinal materials! Ji Xiao pocketed the largest herbal medicine shop in Huainan City. It was about this idea. Even if he didn't mix it in, he could make a lot of money by reselling herbal medicine at that time.

At this point, Jingshu fully understood. No wonder his highness wanted to come. No wonder his highness was wrong when he got the jade pendant. The shadow on his face didn't subside until the jade pendant was returned to its owner.

It seems that your highness is jealous, but he doesn't know

"Well, what if Ji Xiao really wants to mix the water under the guise of helping Qiqi?"

On this continent, the kingdom of Yan is the strongest, followed by the northern kingdom. The Northern Kingdom has bowed to the kingdom of Yan for decades. Now other countries are small places in terms of national strength and financial resources, and there is no oil and water. I'm afraid Emperor Yan can't see it. Only the northern kingdom is more than the lower. It has a vast land, few people and abundant vegetation. It is very suitable for captive horses. If Emperor Yan wants to start a war, At that time, any disturbance will be enough to destroy the northern kingdom.

The mackerel kingdom in the South China Sea has always been out of the way. If Emperor Yan gives some benefits, it is difficult to ensure that they will not turn back. At that time, it is not impossible to combine inside with outside and annex the North kingdom.

When the enemy is present, it is natural to know yourself and the enemy and be invincible in a hundred battles.

"I do this also for the sake of Qiqi. If Ji Xiao gets involved, Qiqi will become a hot potato with his jade pendant. If he is instigated by someone who has a heart, I will be separated and lack skills. Qiqi will be implicated again. It's better to directly extinguish the source. Even if Ji Xiao cuts in horizontally in the future, the palace will not be afraid."

Jingshu was very impressed after hearing this. He didn't expect his highness to think so long.

Hao lianche looked up at the sky and urged Jingshu, "hurry back. There should be news from Beiyu“

”Yes“

On the official road, the carriage galloped. Jing Shu riveted his strength and waved his whip back.

On the other side, Yan Tianji, the Duke of Cheng, who received the news, was also rushing to the Inn at the border.

It was the last few days of the thirty-nine days in the northern kingdom. The strong wind blew so hard that people could hardly open their eyes. The heavy snow was no more than people's leg bones. The biggest wind and snow in the state of Yan was less than half that at this time.

Yan Tianji had a cold illness. He managed to stay in the house for some time and got a little better. He didn't want to run around these days. The old injury recurred. Needless to say, his two kneecaps were all swollen and hurt when he touched them. But even so, after receiving Xu Shian's letter, he still endured the pain and rushed over without stopping. The July 7th incident could not be delayed.

Ye Chao had long found something wrong with the marquis. It was cold to the bone, but a layer of sweat came out of the Marquis's forehead. His breathing was urgent and heavy. He couldn't even pull the horse by holding the horse's palm.

”Lord Hou, Xu Shian just sent a message. What he said in the letter is ambiguous. We can't believe it all“

Although Ye Chao is a martial arts man, he is thoughtful and always asks questions. He has a little impression of Xu Shian and can't say he knows it. But he knows that it's not right for the Marquis to come to the northern border. Even if he wants to see the princess, he has to sneak in. Xu Shian keeps saying that he has arranged his residence, so he goes to the door and looks at it, It's not much better than the broken temple. I'm a little unhappy now.

When he saw that they had all come to the door, there was no one to greet them, and his doubts were even worse.

Unexpectedly, Yan Tianji gritted his teeth and insisted, waved his hands and said, "it doesn't matter. It's urgent to be in power. I know what you're thinking. Xu Shian also has his difficulties. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't even have a place to live. We don't have to worry about this outside. Go in“

Ye Chao shut up and led the horse in the hands of the marquis.

Dozens of people worked hard for a long time. They didn't sleep well or eat a full meal. Suddenly, they had a shelter from the wind and rain, and their nerves that had been tight suddenly relaxed.

"Go and light a fire and let the soldiers dry their clothes first and have a rest." After ye Chao tied the horse, he planned to help the Marquis take off his armor. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Yan Tianji.

Yan Tianji always had a habit of doing everything by himself when he was in war. He never pretended to do anything he could do. It was his strict self-discipline style that made the soldiers die hard on him.

There was no one in the inn. It was an empty shop with a sign. The tables, chairs and benches were crumbling. Several people didn't pay attention before. They went down and sat down and fell apart.

The soldiers repaired a few more stools, and then rested. After killing the dry food they carried and the wild deer on the way, they simply set up a bonfire in the middle of the hall. There was nothing here, but there were a lot of firewood. The bonfire rose and everyone was warm and tired after their clothes were dried.

"Today, I want to say thank you to you. This is my private affair. Please help me with your help. I won't forget it!"

Yan Tianji led troops to the northern kingdom without permission. This matter can be big or small. If Yan Emperor pretended not to know, Cheng Guogong would still be the general with outstanding military achievements, but if Yan Emperor investigated, it would be a big event to lose his head.

Yan Tianji didn't want to see the harm to others. These soldiers were also the people who had followed him on the battlefield for many years. Wherever he went, they would follow him. They were comparable to their relatives. This time, he was very ashamed that they were affected by private affairs.

"We will follow the Duke to the death!"

A cadre of soldiers answered short, but the words were sonorous and powerful. Yan Tianji's eyes were hot and drank the sake in the bowl, "thank you, I'll do it first."

Wine can warm up, but it's not easy to drink more. Besides, it's still in other people's territory. There is Cheng Guogong. Everyone abides by the rules. After eating delicious venison, they go to bed in twos and threes.

The excitement will eventually dissipate. Cheng Guogong guarded the bonfire and thought while baking.

Suddenly, his ears moved.
