Chapter Twenty-Five: Escape from Youzhou
Ye Saburo stood in the courtyard, and he could still hear the sound of soldiers interrogating and patrolling everywhere in the street. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the house, Bai Lingfeng was talking to the man in front of him, this person was Shi Xiaoyuan, the head of Youzhou Jiedu Mansion, and at the same time, he was also a chess piece planted by Li Longji in Youzhou Jiedu Mansion.
"This time it's thanks to Brother Chang, otherwise, we would have been found out sooner or later if the thieves were searched all over the city. ”
"Where is it, since Ye Yushi bears the emperor's holy name, he naturally has to protect it as much as possible, and if you think that these Hu soldiers don't dare to come to my mansion to make a mistake, you can cultivate for a few days with peace of mind. ”
Ye Sanlang walked in, shook his head, and said: "This is not good, the matter in Jiangnan is very urgent, Li Changshi has just died, in case we let the gangster who killed him do something during this time, then we can't do anything when we arrive." ”
"Killed? Didn't you say that Li Changshi died unexpectedly?"
"Sudden death?" Ye Saburo sneered a few times, "It happened that he died unexpectedly a few days after his fold was handed over? This is obviously someone who didn't want to be told about something and killed him." ”
"Are you talking about the emperor's eldest son, Li Brown?"
"Otherwise, who else can there be? Who has the most Yongye fields among the imperial princes? Who has the most other houses? Who is doing shady things in Jiangnan?"
"This ......" Xiao Changchang nodded, this is well known.
He stood up and walked back and forth in the living room for a few steps, thinking about a way to let Ye Saburo and the three of them leave Youzhou safely. It is not possible to leave normally, even if they will change their appearance, if they leave Youzhou at this moment, they will be suspected. Then, if you can't go by land, you can take the waterway, go out of the Bohai Sea, go to the East China Sea, and then go directly to Yangzhou, the largest port in the south.
"Lao Li!" he shouted, Lao Li was the housekeeper in his house, who had served him for many years, and when he heard his shout, he immediately ran to the hall.
"Master, what do you command?"
"You go to the Chamber of Commerce to check, there is a ship that has sailed to Yangzhou recently, by the way, tell President Yang, just say what Li Ye means, he will understand. ”
After Lao Li left, Ye Sanlang asked curiously, "Xiao Changshi, what does this mean?"
"Ye Yushi, you don't know this, from Youzhou to Yangzhou, there is not only a land route, but also a water route. The Youzhou Chamber of Commerce is a big chamber of commerce, and it has trade contacts with many countries, and the taxes handed over to An Lushan are also considerable, so he generally does not check the Chamber of Commerce, and Yang Yi, the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, is a friend of An Lushan, but he is also the emperor's secret son, and he told him that it was Li Ye's meaning, that is, the emperor's meaning, and I believe that he will soon be able to arrange a merchant ship for the three of you to go to Yangzhou. ”
Ye Sanlang was overjoyed when he heard this, "In this way, there will be a long history of Lao Xiao." ”
"Alas, they are all their own brothers, you are welcome, but An Lushan's wolf ambition is terrifying. The emperor is so good to him, but he still has an antipathy, a few days ago, the left prime minister also impeached him, but he was saved by the prime minister, who knows what kind of heart he has?"
"Xiao Changshi doesn't have to worry, judging from the intelligence we spied on, the preparation of the thief has just begun, if he really wants to rebel, he still has to consider many factors, such as the preparation of grain and grass, the sophistication of the equipment, and the loyalty of his subordinates, especially those Han generals, will definitely not obey him, it will take several years for him to rule it out, plus Tongguan, the biggest obstacle to entering the Central Plains, is garrisoned by a general, he will not ignore it. His only way is time, use time to slowly complete the preparation, if he can concurrently serve as the Pinglu Jiedu envoy or the Hedong Jiedu envoy, his preparation can be faster, in fact, he did put forward these two requirements, but it seems that because the current Jiedu envoys are in office, the emperor did not approve. But with his personality, it is only a matter of time before he takes on a part-time role. ”
"Then according to Ye Yushi's meaning, how long do you think it will take for the thief to rebel from now?"
"Ten years, ten years at most, at least five years, five years is the situation when he got Pinglu and Hedong. However, if there is help from outsiders, I am afraid that it will have to be advanced, and this is what I am worried about. The thief and the Khitan and Xi have been attacking for a long time but not destroying, I am afraid that the two have already colluded, so that the thief can get the grain and trust of the court for a long time. ”
"I see. Xiao Changchang nodded, what Ye Sanlang said was indeed true. An Lushan conquered the Khitan and Xi every year, and he won a great victory all year round, but he won without dying, and he was able to get the reward and grain and grass from the imperial court every year, and he was indeed a cunning guy.
He walked into the courtyard and found that it was already dark, so he said to the three of them, "Three, it's not too early, why don't you go and rest first, tomorrow President Yang should be arranged." ”
The two of them were not like Li Sihan who had been playing on the street for a day, after last night's trouble, both of them were exhausted, and finally hid in Xiao Changshi's house after being reminded by Bai Lingfeng, but they hadn't slept much yet.
"In this way, we will go to sleep, Si Han, you should rest early. After speaking, the two returned to the room that Xiao Changshi had prepared for them, and fell asleep on the bed.
When they got up the next day, it was already noon.
Xiao Changshi had already gone to work at the moment, and the three of them were sitting in the living room preparing to have lunch, Li Sihan glanced at them, and it seemed that they should indeed be resting. Yesterday, she was a little reluctant to go, the two of them went to visit An Lushan's military camp at night, but she went to the street to play for a day, and she really couldn't say it.
"Have you slept enough?" she asked jokingly.
They yawned and nodded.
"Then let me tell you a good news, President Yang sent someone, and he said that there happened to be a merchant ship bound for Yangzhou, which was ready for us, and we could go to Yangzhou at any time. ”
"This is a good thing, you can help us change our appearance later, and then take Xiao Changshi's carriage to the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Along the way, the patrolling Hu Bing saw that it was Xiao Changshi's carriage and did not interrogate, and after coming to the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, he saw a fat man from afar greet them, and after taking them to a hidden place, he saluted Ye Sanlang: "Yang Yi, the villain Yang Yi, the president of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, see Lord Ye of the Supervision Palace." ”
Ye Saburo hurriedly said: "President Yang doesn't need to be like this, it's really tormenting me." ”
"Your ship is ready, and you can board it at any time. ”
"Oh, then I don't know which one it is?" Ye Saburo walked to the window, from which he could see the dock of the Chamber of Commerce, and he could clearly see several cargo ships parked on the dock.
"Anyway, it's all ready, why don't I send you on the ship now, the ship you want to get on is supposed to sell some goods to Ryukyu, and then purchase Ryukyu goods and return to Youzhou or Yangzhou, but I can also take you to Yangzhou by the way." The proprietor of this ship is naturally me, the captain's surname is Ma, and the first mate's surname is Sun, both of whom are Han Chinese, and they are not used to An Lushan. ”
"Thank you, President Yang. ”
"Where is it, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, the ambition of the thief and the wolf, and it is our duty to do things for the emperor. If no one reminds the thief that someone is paying attention to him at all times, then he will only become more rampant. Ye Yushi, you are good. ”
Hearing this, Ye Saburo smiled embarrassedly.
