242.242 The young master of the Jing family
The people of Wuwangfu have always been well-trained, and they knew that there were many bandits at the mouth of the Lingjiang River, so they were prepared in advance, and they had already made an orderly counterattack at the first time when the accident appeared.
The deck of the original few people was already full of people at this time, and the people near the side of the ship, including the windows of the ship's building, as long as they could stand and near the water, everyone was holding bows and arrows, and the raindrops shot densely under the water, and the people in front of them shot and replaced the people who were ready behind, and there was no stop.
In just a few breaths, the dark green water surface was dark and scarlet, and the smell of blood was faintly wafting around.
Song Tianxuan hurriedly ran out of the cabin, looked up and saw Qin You staying with the Qin brothers unharmed, and then breathed a sigh of relief and went back to guard Song Weijun.
The princess has her own ideas, and she doesn't need him to tell anything, he just needs to protect the prince.
Qin You naturally saw Song Tianxuan as well, and gestured to him to protect Song Weijun with peace of mind, leaving her alone.
"Now that we're just ordinary merchant ships, isn't it a bit abnormal for these bandits to dispatch so many people?" Qin Qian looked at the small boats on the water that were as many as carp crossing the river, frowned suspiciously, and turned his eyes to see Qin Ye, who couldn't wait to run down to meet the enemy, and there was more helplessness between his eyebrows.
This impatient temperament has to be honed well.
"It's a bit tricky, and there are big boats on the waterway in front of us to block the way, so we can be wiped out." Qin You raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and under the dark sky, he could still see several big boats on the river in the distance, blocking the way.
"The boat is fast and flexible, it's too late to turn around now, An Shijin should have seen it below, why don't you go and discuss the countermeasures first?" Qin Qian didn't panic much, no matter how many bandits there were, it was not difficult for them to get out, but the boat and things might not be able to be saved.
As soon as the words fell, An Shijin had already run up in three or two steps, and said to Qin You with a bitter face: "Princess, we are so unlucky, today I am afraid that we will be a 'sheep' that others will lead the sheep again......
Qin You was stunned, wasn't the target of the water bandits them? Looking back in the direction of An Shijin's finger, he realized that they were followed by a large caravan at some point, there were four treasure ships that could carry hundreds of tons alone, and the luxury building ship that the owner was riding followed behind, and other small escort ships were scattered around the big ship.
Compared with other people's big ships, the ship temporarily used by their Wuwang Mansion is nothing from the outside, only half the size of others.
"Their target is the caravan behind? No wonder," Qin You glanced at a few times and asked, "Where is this caravan?" With so many goods, shouldn't it just be delivered to Los Angeles? ”
An Shijin said: "The caravan is our Liang country's richest businessman Jing family, we just received the news, all the grain they are loaded on the ship, it is transported to the area of Xiangzhou in Southern Chu, this summer Xiangzhou is out of the waterlogging area, almost no harvest throughout the year, had to buy food from other places, Jing family is one of the objects of their cooperation, should have been found out before, we knew that we would meet the Jing family's merchant ship, we would rather go two days late." ”
An Shijin sighed twice, secretly annoyed that he was not careful enough, although they were not afraid of being robbed, but now the state of the prince needs a stable environment to recuperate, if it is not necessary, they will not risk sending him to Los Angeles, which is as warm as spring.
Qin Qian was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "As the partner of Southern Chu, it is obviously not the first time that the Jing family has traveled to Luoshui to transport goods, have you also encountered water bandits and robberies at this Lingjiang Estuary before?" ”
"This ......" An Shijin rolled his eyes and recalled, and then affirmed: "The Jing family's trade is all over the surrounding countries, and they have some friendships with bandits everywhere, and they are all good in private, I haven't heard of any bandits who dare to rob the Jing family's goods for many years, and it is unknown why the bandits at the Lingjiang Estuary suddenly attacked the Jing family's merchant ships this time." ”
Qin You is right when he thinks about it, the trade between the Jing family and Nanchu should be more than just food, if every merchant ship has to be robbed, who will do this loss-making business, not to mention that the Jing family's caravans are all over the country, and the corresponding guards and thugs will not be less, if you want to hijack them, you have to weigh your own strength, so many goods have been robbed, and it is impossible for the imperial court to ignore them.
So this time the water bandits at the mouth of the Lingjiang River suddenly moved, is it related to the turmoil in the court on the side of Southern Chu?
Qin You put this guess on the same page as the other three, and the three of them all nodded in agreement, judging from the information they had, this is the most reasonable explanation at present.
"So what do we do now? It's still ...... to join forces with the Jing family" Since Song Weijun fell asleep, An Shijin has become more and more accustomed to listening to Qin You's opinions and arrangements.
Among them, Song Weijun's order is true, but it is more of a belief in Qin You, and I believe that she will not let them down.
Qin You shrugged: "You also said that we are now a 'sheep' to be slaughtered, and the other party has already made a move, so it is obviously impossible to stay out of the matter, so we can only try to contact the Jing family to see how they react." ”
An Shijin nodded: "Okay, the subordinates will arrange for someone to contact them, I believe that as long as their master is not a fool, they will definitely agree to join forces, and one more group of thugs will be used as a substitute for the dead ghost, who."
Will refuse. ”
After that, he hurriedly went downstairs and arranged for someone to go.
The boat was almost negligible, Qin You looked down and made sure that their ship would be fine for the time being, so he took the opportunity to ask Qin Qian and the others for some information about the Jing family, and after a while, she had to come forward to negotiate, and she didn't know anything about the Jing family.
For a moment, Qin Qian and Qin Mu both looked at her in surprise, their eyes were doubtful and scrutinizing, and many kinds of feelings were mixed together, and she was quite uncomfortable looking at her.
"What's wrong?" Qin You was alert, inexplicably a little weak-hearted.
Qin Qian was silent, but Qin Mu, who had few words, answered for her: "Mastering the relationship between the major families in various countries and personal contacts is the most basic thing for Feng Yuwei, otherwise how can he exercise the duty of surveillance?" The Jing family has been in business for 200 years, which is deeper than the heritage of some families in Kyoto, and it is an indispensable family in the family line......"
Speaking of this, Qin You still didn't understand something, she wanted to slap her thigh and scold—!
Feng Yuwei actually has to remember these messy in-laws, isn't this a cheat? There is no such thing in modern times, how can she know that these things have to be remembered in ancient times.
Now what? Is it too late to pretend to have amnesia?
"I ...... I'm most afraid of reading, I didn't take it seriously when I was studying, and now I've almost forgotten it, so I'm in a hurry to ask you to make up for me, what's wrong, isn't this weird? She tried to put on an innocent look and try to take it for granted.
Maybe Qin You's current personality is really too different from the previous Qin You, Qin Qian and Qin Mu glanced at each other with doubt, but they both tacitly agreed and didn't ask anything more.
That's their little sister.,The personality has indeed changed a little.,But if it's Yi Rong and someone impersonates them, it's impossible for them not to see it.,It's too hurtful to ask if you rashly doubt it.。
With this incident, Qin You and Qin Qian and the others were obviously a little more cautious when talking, they didn't look like anything on the outside, they were still talking and laughing, but every time she said a word, she had to go through the careful screening of her brain, for fear that she would say something wrong.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they can easily take root and sprout, and since it is now impossible to pick up the seeds that have been planted, she can only try to strangle the seedlings in the soil forever.
She can tell Song Weijun about soul transformation, but Qin Huainian and the others will definitely not be able to accept this fact, so they can't say anything about death.
An Shijin's efficiency is very fast, Qin Qiangang introduced the general situation of the Jing family to Qin You, and he has already run back: "The princess ......"
"Ahem, wrong! Who is your princess and what is it called? Qin You glared at him dissatisfied.
An Shijin was stunned for a moment, and reacted: "Yes, yes, Qin ...... Qin Wugongzi, our people have already contacted the Jing family, and the Jing family said that they would like to invite you to the boat for a while. ”
Qin You nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the small boats that were gradually approaching, and said, "In this way, let's hurry up, otherwise we will be the first to suffer, I don't know who is the steward of the Jing family who is responsible for escorting the goods this time?" ”
Since deciding to go south to Los Angeles, Qin You has another identity, Qin Wu, the youngest son of the Qin family, the behind-the-scenes boss of Yunkelai in the capital, knows that the boss behind Yunkelai is Qin Huainian, only the pervasive Song Weijun is the house, no one will associate the most high-end and luxurious restaurant in the capital with the Qin family, the declining prime minister's mansion, and there is no need to worry that others will recognize it.
"It's Jing Dongli, the young master of the Jing family," Speaking of this, An Shijin still had a hint of surprise on his face, and explained: "We didn't receive the news that the Jing family's merchant ships would travel with us before, until we saw their ship, we were shocked, it is said that this kind of thing cannot be ignored, it should be that the Jing family deliberately concealed it, and what is even more unexpected is that the young master of the Jing family, who lives in a simple state, will actually follow the caravan to Nanchu, just at the time of the civil strife in Nanchu, could it be related to the civil strife in Nanchu?" ”
Qin You was also a little surprised, as a business family, even the head of the family could not avoid running around to talk about business, but Jing Dongli, the next head of the Jing family, heard that he was a cripple who was not good at walking, and rarely went out on weekdays, but whenever he appeared in front of the world, he was in a wheelchair.
A half-paralyzed guy suddenly went out of the house, how to think about how to disobey the harmony.
Knowing that Jing Dongli was on the boat, Qin You felt that the reason why the bandits wanted to rob the Jing family's fleet might be more for Jing Dongli, a person who controlled half of the business empire, and used him to threaten the Jing family, and a few boats of grain were nothing
