When Yan Qing and Shi Xiu parted, they left behind three carrier pigeons. Third Madam wrote down Xie's intentions on a silk roll and sent a message to Liang Shan.
After all, in his own era, there were almost no pigeons left. If the pigeons were to be intercepted, or if they couldn't fly to Liang Shan, Xie E would have no choice but to wait for Zhou Yu to be brought to the cold Jin State of the far north.
Just to be safe, Hu Sanniang sent another carrier pigeon over, saying that as soon as they received the news, they would immediately move over to the Xiang Prefecture to meet up.
Xie E was slightly relieved at this moment, and let out a long sigh of relief as if he had been relieved from a burden.
Hu Sanniang was a little suspicious. Whether it was from her perspective of national affairs or consideration of Liang Shan, Xie E did not seem to have any personal benefits. However, it was her first time seeing Xie E being so careful and cautious.
Xie E knew that Hu Sanniang must have her questions, so she pretended to be proficient in something, and explained to him that it was a fortuitous opportunity that could not be leaked.
After the carrier pigeon was released, Xie E immediately summoned all of the guards and left for the Xiang Prefecture.
Xiang Prefecture was the north entrance to the Bian Liang Palace, so Jin State sending people to marry Princess Chong Guo was an official activity, they could easily force Xiang Prefecture into the capital, so Xiang Prefecture was the only way to travel south, north and south.
Wu Yueniang was the main wife of Ximen Qing, so she naturally stayed behind to keep watch over him. Since all her wives and concubines had been dismissed, Pan Jinlian and Chunmei's status was very awkward.
Xie E originally had the intention to avoid her, but the two girls were already free, with no support, so they insisted on following his. Xie E had no choice but to let Wang Hai prepare another carriage.
Ying Bojue intentionally let him help him manage the business of the medicine store, and explained his own intentions to Ying Bojue. Unexpectedly, he actually talked about this along the way and mentioned a few details that Xie E did not think about in detail, which greatly surprised him.
Before leaving, Xie E warned him repeatedly that the Hua Clan would be a good partner, and that they would be a strong economic backer for him to take care of, but he had to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
Ying Bojue promised repeatedly.
Xie E did not stop at all on the way, and in just three days of time, he had reached the Xiang Prefecture.
Xie E immediately sent Wang Hai to the palace to gather information. The envoy of the Jin State had just arrived, so Xie E hurriedly discussed with Hu Sanniang, "Is there any news from the mountain?"
"We have our communication station at Xiang Prefecture, and the ones leading them are the vegetable garden Zhang Qing and Mother Yaksha, Sun Erniang and Sun Erniang." I'll go and ask around, but since there's nothing from them, I'll tell them to contact the mountain again.
Xie E's eyebrows were almost knitted into a lump as he ordered Hu Sanniang, "You get Leader Zhang and his wife to find a way to find out how many people are in the escort party, and who they are, we need to prepare."
Jin Guo was led by the fourth prince himself this time. He led a thousand elite riders, all of whom were brave warriors. They showed off their strength all the way to Xianzhou.
It could not be denied that Wushu was an outstanding individual, for his purpose this trip was very dynamic and focused. He specially went to pick out the important military towns in the north, and wherever he went, whoever had special abilities, regardless of whether they were civil or military, they would all be recruited with a lot of money.
As for the main government officials and commanders of the important towns, Wushu spared no effort, fighting for them with all his might. For most civil officials, they would be greedy for wealth, and the military officials would be more afraid of the powerful military forces in the Jin State.
There were also some who were loyal to the death, such as Zhang Shuye from the He Jian Palace. Wushu followed the instructor Ha Michi's suggestion and bought off his other subordinates, waiting for the right time.
Wushu was incredibly capable, to think that he would know that Xie E had already reached the Xiang Prefecture before the Xiang Prefecture Official, Liu Renqin.
As the newly risen genius in just a few months time, Xie E had long been listed as a main character. This was something Xie E absolutely didn't expect.
Xie E still settled down at the Pleasing Inn, and had the identity of a guest merchant.
On the afternoon of the second day, Wang De took Wushu's name scroll to find Xie E.
When Xie E saw this, he was shocked: Other than Class One's guards, there were only three women in his party, and they basically did not have any chance to reveal their identities, yet not only did Wushu know that he had arrived at Xiang Prefecture, he had even stayed at the Pleasing Hut Inn. It seemed that this Xiang Prefecture City was already filled with the eyes and ears of Jin State.
Wushu invited Xie E to meet him at Jadehouse Inn.
This place seemed to be destined to be a land of war. Xie E brought Wang De to attend the banquet.
Hu Sanniang immediately went to look for Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, arranging people to secretly protect them, just in case something happened.
Ever since the Emerald Phoenix Restaurant had been disrupted by Li Tianfeng, the place had become deserted, and the rivers had become less lively as time went on.
Wushu ordered Ha Michi to spend a low price to buy all of the Jade Nook Restaurant, and everyone stayed behind, not even changing their names.
Xie E lived on the opposite side, so when Xie E and his group came, they were all in Wushu's ears and ears. As for who Xie E was, it was not hard to guess, since Li Tianfeng had already been detained.
Xie E immediately made his appointment upon receiving the invitation to visit, but Wushu was still a little surprised and personally came out to welcome him. "I've long heard of Bachelor Xie's great name, to see you again today, you truly live up to your name."
Xie E was secretly amused. In the end, he was still a barbarian from the north. He learnt a few polite words and spoke everything out.
Wushu was tall and sturdy, half a head taller than Xie E, about 1.85 meters.
Xie E bowed slightly, "A mere sour scholar, Fourth Prince is too kind."
The two of them greeted each other as they entered the room. They were very intimate as they held Xie Chi's hand in their hands.
Xie E's calm expression made Wushu have the heart to accept his.
All scholars who received such treatment would be overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, and their actions were stiff. On the other hand, Xie E's performance was neither humble nor arrogant, it was obvious that he was different from the others.
could only wait downstairs when he entered the private room that he and Li Tianfeng stayed in last time.
After a month had passed, Xie E was more or less a little sad, and his expression slightly dimmed.
Wushu observed his words and expression, but said: "I didn't expect Mister to be such a emotional person."
Xie E shivered upon hearing this. Turns out Wushu's plans were actually plotting something everywhere, and purposely led him to a familiar room, causing some of his emotions to fluctuate. It seemed that this Wushu was indeed not simple.
Xie E sighed, "My old friend has passed away. I am just trying to make you sad, thank you very much, Fourth Prince for your hospitality."
Xie Chi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. "I didn't expect the fourth prince to be so knowledgeable in the art of tea." He casually said. "I didn't expect the fourth prince to be so adept at the art of drinking tea in this country.
Wushu laughed heartily. "How is the bitter cold lands of the north like the many wonders of the south? It was rare for him to come down from the south, but he did not expect that there would be such fine tea here. He loved it very much. In your eyes, sir, nothing is more than an ordinary ear. "
Xie E smiled and did not speak.
Wushu said: "Mister Lonely Monastery's talent is absolutely incomparable to ordinary people. It's a great pity that you would consign yourself to a casual position in the palace."
Xie E laughed.
