September in England is the best weather, neither hot nor cold is very pleasant. Several chrysanthemums bloomed in the small courtyard on the corner of the prince's residence, adding a bit of autumn.
Zhu Weili sat beside the book case and looked at the ten thousand word book carefully. He sighed again, Cheng Jia, genius! What a pity!
"Sir!" Lu Yao hurried in from outside and said, "let's go."
Zhu Weili sighed and said, "tomorrow, I'll talk to the king again. If it's really not good, let's go."
"There are more guards outside the yard today. I'm afraid the prince won't listen to you." Lu Yaodao, before the words fell, the Epee in his hand came out of its sheath and turned around to protect Zhu Wei behind him.
A figure appeared in front of the door like a ghost, his whole body was black, and his face was covered with a black towel. A pair of eyes exposed outside were extremely beautiful, but with a dull coldness.
"Eleven?" Lu Yao gave a low exclamation, pulled him into the room, and then closed the door.
"Mr Zhu!" Ye Xi took off his veil and said, "the master has passed through England. He wants to get on the ship from Guangzhou and wants us to come and pick you up." Then he turned to Lu Yao and said, "the guards at the sheriff's residence are all in emergency transfer. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you. Clean up, and let's go quickly."
"Mr Zhu!" Lu Yao turned to look at Zhu Weili. He had proposed to leave here. The prince of ying'an looked like a good man, but he was not a good collaborator because he had a lot of private sincerity.
Ling Qingyu to Guangzhou? Zhu Weili nodded to the bookboy behind him and said, "pack up your things and go now."
Pushing open the gate, Lu Yao saw the body of the guard lying on the ground outside. Lu Yao glanced at Ye Xi, then carried Zhu Weili on his back, and followed Ye Xi out of the palace.
Out of the city of England, there were already several empty horses outside the city. Yefei stood quietly aside. Seeing them coming, she turned over and mounted the horse, and then the party galloped to Guangzhou.
Guangnan road has many mountains and little land. A thousand years ago, it was a desolate and sparsely populated place. After getting off the mountain road and bypassing Yingzhou, Ling Qingyu and his party stopped in a small town some distance away from Guangzhou, waiting for Zhu Weili to meet, while Ying shisan took people to Guangzhou first to inquire about the situation and contact the ships that should be waiting in the port.
The next morning, Zhu Weili arrived. After simply communicating the information, Zhu Weili became silent.
After a long afternoon's rest, Zhu Weili found Ling Qingyu, spread out the map again, and then said, "my Lord, now that there is Cheng Jia, my Lord can consider raising the flag."
Ling Qingyu was stunned. What they said before was to wait for the chaos in Dazhou before sending troops from the north. Now raise the flag? How?
"My Lord, chaijinzhong and chaijingchao are unpopular now. According to what you said, the Zhao family has two minds. I'm afraid they'll take advantage of the opportunity when they fight with each other. But the Zhao family itself has differences, so the North must be divided after a year. On the south side, the king of Jiang'an county has been in trouble, but he can't control those prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the nest of the king's family in Huainan. On the south side, it is bound to divide forces across the river. Although King Cheng got into trouble quickly, he is now blocked outside Changsha by Han Ziqing, and his soldiers are unpopular for burning, killing and looting. As long as Han Ziqing supports for some time, the reinforcements of Jiangnan Road will arrive. I'm afraid that in a year, the general situation will be set. Now, the wide spread and deep influence of Cheng Jiazhi's Wanyan book is also something we didn't expect before. Lord, Prince Cheng has laid the foundation stone for you. Now raise the flag and do benevolent and righteous things, and you can get more help from the Tao. " Zhu Weili touched his beard. As soon as he saw the ten thousand words book, he understood that this was the best flag for the Ling family. The Ling family had been doing good deeds and had a deep influence on the people. Moreover, the king did not serve the people. The Ling family shouted, and the responders were determined. However, at the beginning, he just felt that this was a heaven given opportunity, but Cheng Jia paved the way for Ling Qingyu with his own life and blood.
To achieve great things, we must sacrifice. To become a king, we must have the power to serve people and make people willing to die for it.
"Do you mean we start a business here? Guangnan road?"
"Guangnan road was originally a poor place, and Guangzhou became rich by relying on the foreign trade of fan. However, after the foreign trade of fan was cut off by us in sanfoqi, there were fewer merchants. The Xie family amassed money like a ferocious one, and the oppression was severe. Although the Baiyue people in Lingnan were few, they were brave and good at fighting, but they were severely oppressed and bullied here. I remember the Lord once said that where there was oppression, there was resistance As long as we make small profits, those Baiyue people can be used by us. "
"Xie's family in Guangzhou..." Ling Qingyu sneered at the corners of her mouth. Yes, Xie's family is not only the enemy of her father and brother. If they hadn't sent people to assassinate her again and again, how could Yan San be seriously injured? Later, she brought a poison wound. In order to be afraid of the pain when I saw the treatment of the poison wound, she had the following differences. Speaking of head, this is the source of everything.
"If the Lord decides, Zhu won't go back to the ship with you, so go to the Baiyue nationality to persuade them to cooperate with us."
"Is there any danger?"
Zhu Weili chuckled and shook his head, saying, "the Baiyue people are not as numerous as those in southern Xinjiang. In fact, they are very simple. I have met several clan chiefs in the prefectural mansion, all of whom are reasonable people. No matter who can't live, if you give him a way to live, you will always work hard."
"So..." Ling Qingyu bowed his head and pondered for a long time. Zhu Weili must have a certain degree of confidence. Historically, Guangdong was not only sparsely populated at this time, but also not many troops. It was in a certain year of the Northern Song Dynasty and a certain year of the Southern Song Dynasty that two large-scale northern immigrants began to have a large number of Hakkas. If you can really get the power of Baiyue, it is not difficult to win Guangnan Road, and only through this journey did you know that a thousand years ago, How difficult is this ancient road opened by Zhang Jiuling? Similarly, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Guangnan road is won, Fan Wai Dazhou will have a foothold.
"Mr. Zhu, Lu Yao and Xi follow you. Yan Qi, you must send a few more people to ensure Mr. Zhu's safety." Ling Qingyu raised her head and said, "OK," the look in her eyes made Yan Qi's mouth curl up unconsciously, nodding
Since the opening of trade and port in the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou city has been continuously expanded. Now it is a big city with three urban areas, namely, the middle city, the east city and the west city. The middle city has the smallest area, mainly inhabited by Xie family and officials and families in Guangzhou. The east city and the West City have a large area, mainly inhabited by civilians and merchants. The streets in the city are wide and there are many merchants. In the West City, there are carved inner walls and built inner docks for ships to escape the wind and rain.
At noon, when people were most lazy and wanted to take a nap, several horses entered the city from the north gate of Xicheng. The sound of the horse's hoofs of Dita echoed clearly on the streets paved with bluestone slabs.
Looking at the shops on both sides, the occasional fanren walking in the street, and the private soldiers dressed in Xie's family emblem who walked in twos and threes in the streets, shadow thirteen's eyes sank slightly.
Along the long street to the inner wharf, Ying shisan dismounted in front of the Inn at the end of the street, handed the horse reins to the waiter who came out, took Xie Sanlang several people into the lobby, found a seat to sit down, asked for food with the waiter, as if casually asked, "I heard that there are many people here, and there are large ships outside your hometown. I don't know where I can see them?"
"My guest, come from the north," the waiter laughed, "your first time here?" Looking at these people who are not old but are all dressed in silk, he smiled and then said, "the fanwai ship is going to look at the outer wharf. It happened that a fleet came a few days ago. I heard it was from Zhuluo. Because of the wind direction, it stopped here for some time. If you want to see it, just go to the outer yard head."
"Thanks a lot." Xie Sanlang put a corner of broken silver on the table and said with a brilliant smile.
The dish was ordered according to the recommendation of the waiter, and the serving speed was very fast. Just looking at the blood dripping white chopped chicken, several people were very silent, and then Yeyu asked, "this is the delicious white chopped chicken that the master said?"
Ying Shishi took a piece of chicken and chewed it slowly in his mouth. Then he said, "Saburo, ask about the situation in the street. Night wind, night rain, night rain, night rain, go to see how many private soldiers there are in the Xie family? How about the layout of the city defense and how many people there are."
"Yes!"
It's easy to find the outer wharf. Ten miles out of the West City, walk along the river to the entrance to the sea, and you can see the outer wharf with thousands of ships, among which several ships with huge volume are faintly visible far away in the open sea.
As he approached the dock, Ying shisan dismounted and frowned slightly at the noisy scene on the dock. All the coolies in uniform came and went on the dock. There were no less than a thousand private soldiers of the Xie family scattered around, and the place close to the huge sea ship was even denser.
auzw. "Hey, I said Sanjay, the wind has risen, and your captain still doesn't want to leave?" Hearing someone nearby laughing loudly, Ying shisan turned his head, saw the familiar figure from the layers of the crowd, stretched out his hand to block the night sky next to him, and stood by the roadside.
"How can we go? Our captain is fascinated by your big Zhou woman. He doesn't even mention it."
"Hahaha, that's it. The little peach in the Lixiang courtyard is a beauty. Now it's good. It's wrapped by your captain. We can't meet each other."
"You? Little Taohong sees a face and it's onehundred liang of silver. Do you have money?"
There was a lot of laughter on the dock. Ying shisan walked slowly through the crowd with his horse, and squeezed past Sanjay without squinting.
"Thank you, boss!" Holding a bag of fresh snacks in his hand, Xie Sanlang walked out of the snack shop with a very bright smile, weighed the snacks in his hand, and looked at the opposite shop.
It was a silk shop. Thinking of the hurry of coming out this time, after the carriage was abandoned, lingqingyu lost all his extra clothes. Ling Qingyu just brought a few clothes for change. Xie Sanlang walked into the silk shop.
The door of the silk shop is not big, but the inside is deep. The afternoon sun shines in obliquely, setting off Xie Sanlang's smile as he enters the door.
"Boss, show me some good dark materials." Xie Sanlang laughed when he entered the door, and then heard someone calling Sanlang inside. His voice was full of surprise and doubt.
Xie Sanlang turned his head and looked. The shop was very deep. Standing in the sun, Xie Sanlang couldn't see it clearly. He walked into it for a few steps. After getting used to the light inside, he saw that the color of panic on his face seemed to be the woman who stood up suddenly and let everything on his hands fall to the ground. The smile on his face immediately disappeared.
His mother was from Dazhou. Although his father and brother told him that his mother died of illness, he knew that his mother was not dead, but just went back to Dazhou. At that time, he was seven years old, and his mother's face was very clear. Besides, although ten years later, the woman's face had not changed much, and he could recognize it at a glance.
He knew who his mother was and that his mother had returned to his mother's home, but in the past seven years, he never thought of coming back and looking for her, because his mother was Xie family.
It's her enemy
"Is it really you? Saburo?" Xie Wanru rushed forward a few steps and grabbed the boy in front of him. His eyes, eyebrows and facial features were all like the Xie family. He hadn't seen them for ten years. At the beginning, the boy had grown into such a handsome boy, and the exuberant vitality on his body made people like it at first sight.
Stimulated by her cold fingers, Xie Sanlang took a few steps back and said, "you recognize the wrong person", turned and ran out, unhook the reins of the horse, rolled over and mounted the horse, and drove the horse away before the woman chased out. ".
For ten years, this is a very incompetent mother. After giving birth to him, he didn't take him very much. Even for a period of time, Xie Sanlang can clearly feel his mother's hostility and hatred for him. Once, when he was very happy to defeat a group of samurai children, he overheard the private comments of the group of children, saying that his mother was from a big Zhou clan and looked down on them, rural Samurai in Japan, and thought it a shame to have a Japanese child, So I don't like him at all. Saburo Fujiwara is a child whose father doesn't accept his mother's dislike, but he is still so arrogant, which is really annoying.
It turned out to be so, no matter how well he did and how hard he worked, he couldn't get a compliment from his mother, just as his father was still rejected no matter how much he flattered his mother. When he knew this, five-year-old Saburo Fujiwara never wanted to flatter his mother, but occasionally when she had to come forward, she saw the beautiful woman whose father put his heart on the tip from a distance.
But in the end, they were abandoned by her, and a small boat of the Xie family took her away. On the day of leaving, avoiding his father and brother, he chased to the dock, crying and calling his mother in big Zhou dialect. However, she didn't look back until the boat was far away.
Xie Sanlang ran back to the Inn and entered the room. He leaned against the back of the door and sighed. Don't you want to? After the Fujiwara family was destroyed, he was panicked and shrank in bed alone to cry. At that time, he really thought of her and thought of her hug to calm his uneasiness. However, at that time, Ling Qingyu, who hugged him to calm his uneasiness and fear and let him fall asleep safely, was the woman who often looked at him with a helpless look and called him bear child, pulled him out of the nightmare, and then gave him a home, A place where no one discriminates against him and no one despises him and really accepts him.
In the middle of the night, the Lixiang courtyard is still brightly lit, with Orioles Singing and swallows dancing.
Shadow thirteen felt into Lichun courtyard from the backyard. It didn't take long to see the open rear window and the people leaning against the window.
Jumping into the room from Lam's side, shadow thirteen pulled the towel below and said, "don't stand at the window next time, it's half blocked."
"Where is she?" Lam ignored his ridicule and asked directly.
"There's a rest ahead. It's dozens of miles away from Guangzhou. I see that the Xie family on the dock is watching your boat very closely. How can I get on the boat?" Glancing at the beautiful woman sitting at the table with the teapot in her hand, Ying Shishi took the teapot from her hand, found a clean cup and poured herself a glass of water.
Ram breathed out for a long time, and it took several months for his heart to feel that he fell back to his heart. He said, "tomorrow I will sail out of the sea, and a small boat will pick you up in Dongyong. Fang nianyuan's boat is on an island not far away outside. When we get on the boat, we will meet first."
"Is he here, too?" Shadow thirteen put the tea cup on the table, and then directly lit the beauty's acupoints.
"Ding Dong's boat came down from Hangzhou. I heard that Huainan was hit hard. It's estimated that you can't walk the Jiangnan line. Only this line is the most suitable, so we gathered here. Just, why did it take so long? Is she really okay?" Rahm pulled up his chair and sat down. He asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, the master is fine." Ying Shishi puffed a smile, pointed to the beauty and said with a smile, "you're really getting along these days, little peach, isn't the cost small?"
"I always have to find an excuse to stay here." Ram grinned and said, "don't talk to her!"
"Hehe, there's nonsense there. You must have some affection after you've been in charge of others for several months?" Shadow thirteen laughed.
Ram smiled and said, "this woman is very smart. She only has money in her eyes, and she doesn't care what my excuse is."
No danger before doesn't mean no danger now. As soon as shadow thirteen's eyes turned, he put his hand on the woman's neck and looked at ram.
Ram was stunned, then he knew what he meant, and said with a wry smile, "but a weak woman, why bother..."
Shadow thirteen once again clicked the beauty's big holes and said to ram, "you take her to bed. Don't let anyone touch her these days. After the master gets on the ship, you can do whatever you want."
"Don't bother so much. I'll redeem her tomorrow and take her on board. When she gets on board, I'll find a place to give her money to go ashore." Ram stood up and said.
Shadow thirteen looked at him, showing a shallow smile, and said, "this acupoint can be solved at noon tomorrow. You can do it yourself."
Walking to the window, Ying Shishi turned back and said, "I'm going to pick up the master now. Your people can find Yelin and Saburo at Yuelai inn. Tell him where to get on the boat."
Looking at the shadow of shadow thirteen disappearing into the darkness, RAM went to the beautiful woman, bent down and picked her up on the bed, whispered, "I know you're awake. It's better for you to be funny and don't do meaningless things, or I'll take your life myself." Seeing that the beautiful woman's eyes turned a little and blinked, RAM got up, put down the bed curtain, and then walked to the door of the outer room. He said to the bodyguard standing at the door, "go to find mom, and I'll redeem little pink."
