Chapter 3785: Deterrence [06]
In addition to Yangzhou is Xiao Wen's territory, now the imperial court has not spared the effort to encircle and suppress Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wen is also very responsible, just occupying his own fiefdom, but he has not expanded outward, so the surrounding counties and counties are also at peace with him for the time being. _Yawen Bar ·· -.-y·a·`e`n=8=.-c-o·m`
Xiao Xian said: "Are there any officers and soldiers guarding the blocked road?" ”
The guard shook his head, "No, everything is as usual, but there are business travelers who come and go, in fact, there is a difference, if it is a passing business traveler, you can come and go freely, but if it is an official, it is better to take a detour." ”
Xiao Xian smiled and said, "Is this king still an official?" ”
He, the prince, is actually just the prince of the people around him, he is not rare to be the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty again, and he is called the prince by those intriguing officials, and he feels guilty of it. _ Ya_文吧 _ ···.· y`a-`
Of course, he won't say it, after all, sullen men don't care too much if they have ideas in their hearts, as long as they don't step on the bottom line, they won't even pay attention.
The guard was stunned for a moment, for him, of course, the prince is the prince, but he is an official above 10,000 people under one person in the court.
However, he immediately understood what the prince meant, this is to go directly, and there is no need to take a detour at all.
So he took the command and went on, and ordered him to go on.
From Chu to the north, it was the road that had been taken before, the fastest, the shortest distance, and the most convenient. _ Yavin_8 ='-.'y'a=-e'n·8·. =com
They also don't have to get off the boat and go in a horse-drawn carriage, they don't have to toss.
After the guard retreated, Xiao Xian smiled and said, "If we take a detour, I'm afraid there will be a lot of stories, so it's better to go directly from the territory of the King of Chu, and save him from taking the risk of chasing us." ”
Shen Mingzhu looked into the distance, the water and the sky were the same, a few waterfowl were flying, and the place where the canal went straight was to pass through Chudi.
Xiao asked where he was, Xiao Xian passed by here, he naturally wouldn't not come to meet.
With her understanding of Xiao Wen, he was naturally coming.
And Xiao Xian is obviously ready.
In the past, he had been avoiding Xiao Wen, and he didn't want to get too close to Xiao Wen, because he was afraid that Xiao Wen was not really so indifferent to fame and fortune, in case he got too close, he would appreciate or feel sorry for him, and when the time came, he would be easily swayed by feelings and not be able to take care of the overall situation.
Now that Xiao Wen has reversed, there is no such concern, and everyone can do business without any personal feelings for all contacts.
Sure enough, when Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu entered Chu by boat, a speedboat soon arrived, and one person stood on the bow of the boat, his clothes fluttering, his body was straight, and he said loudly: "Emperor Chu Zhiyan and Miss Shen are here, and the special subordinates are waiting for them again, and they also invite two distinguished guests." ”
The person who came turned out to be Xia Zhilin, who was also an acquaintance, and he thought that he had helped Shen Mingzhu in the affairs of the Liu family.
Maybe it's also because of this, Xiao Wen asked him to greet him.
After Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu left the capital, the eldest princess also died in the second year, and after that, the Xia family was naturally worse day by day.
And because Xia Zhilin used to be Xiao Wen's companion, the emperor didn't believe in the Xia family after Xiao Wen reversed.
And Xiao Wen did come into contact with Xia Zhilin, and later Xia Zhilin simply quietly sent his family to Chu with the help of Xiao Wen, and since then he has made his home here.
Xia Zhilin also served as the commander of Xiao Wen's internal guards, and was deeply trusted and valued by Xiao Wen.
As he spoke, the clipper arrived at the edge of the big boat, and Xia Zhilin stood at the bow of the boat and respectfully asked the two to respond.
