When Jiang Mi rushed to Wang Yi, the news about her also reached the ears of the crown prince Chai Zongxun.

After the guard finished speaking, he glanced at Chai Zongxun's face, and said carefully: "Although Cui Zixuan has always had a reputation for being amorous in the world, everyone knows that he is very particular about this aspect, I didn't expect that a person like him would actually like a widow and stay at his residence regardless of his reputation......" Seeing Chai Zongxun's face sink suddenly, the guard quickly shut up.

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward, he sighed and persuaded: "Your Highness, there are many women who can trade in this world, so you don't have to do this...... That Cui Zixuan's name is too big, everything that has to do with him, no matter how good or bad, is easy to be known to the world, if His Royal Highness wants to move the Yang family, Cui Zixuan will say a few words casually, it will ruin His Highness's reputation, why don't you endure it for a while? ”

The middle-aged man obviously has a lot of status, and as soon as his voice fell, a smile appeared on Chai Zongxun's face, and he said respectfully: "Yang Gong can rest assured, no matter what, he will not clear his name because of a woman." ”

Seeing that he listened to the persuasion, the middle-aged man was in a good mood, and he stroked his long beard and said, "That's good, that's good." The middle-aged man who was in a good mood didn't notice that Chai Zongxun's eyes were becoming more and more cold at this moment.

……

On this side, after Jiang Mi and Wang Yi discussed some big and small matters, nearly two hours had passed.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and then, the voice of a eunuch whistled came from outside, "Mrs. Yang of Youzhou is here?" ”

Outside, one of Jiang Mi's guards answered loudly there: "Madame is inside." ”

"Exactly." The eunuch said in a loud voice: "Our family is about to find Wang Yi and Mrs. Yang by the order of His Royal Highness, and since you are both here, you just want to issue the decree together." ”

As soon as they heard that it was an edict, Jiang Mi and Wang Yi hurriedly tidied up their clothes and strode out.

Several eunuchs with a few palace guards were also striding in, seeing the two of them walking out, the eunuch at the head stopped, he stopped Wang Yi and the two of them saluting, and said in a sharp voice: "Your Highness has a decree, Wang Yi will go to the southeastern states as soon as possible, collect 200,000 loads of grain and grass and send it to the northern border as soon as possible." Speaking of this, the eunuch took out a token from his bosom and handed it to Wang Yi, and said in a shrill voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Wang Gongzi is a rare businessman in the world, and this time the matter of collecting grain and grass will not be done in vain. ”

Seeing the two of them, the eunuch patiently explained: "The two of you may not know that there is a war on the northern border, and ten days ago, Your Majesty has rushed there with an army of more than 100,000 and the two Zhao brothers. Before His Majesty left, he handed over all the affairs of the court to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Both of them understood his explanation, and for a merchant, being able to play his part in this kind of war was the fastest way to gain the approval of the king. At that moment, Wang Yi immediately bowed down to receive the order.

The eunuch turned to Jiang Mi again, and said in a sharp voice: "You are the Yang family of Youzhou?" ”

Jiang Mi bowed and said respectfully, "Exactly." ”

The eunuch nodded and sang, "Your Highness has decreed that the Yang clan will go to Youzhou immediately." ”

After the eunuch finished speaking, he explained to Jiang Mi: "Your Highness heard that Madame's foundation is in Youzhou, so I gave this edict, as for what Madame wants to do, I will know when I get to Youzhou." ”

Whether it is Jiang Mi or Wang Yi, they are all businessmen who have officially surrendered to Chai Rong, and now when they are useful, they will spare no effort. At that moment, Jiang Mi also hurriedly answered yes.

The eunuch nodded and ordered: "Although you two are the leaders of the merchants, the merchants are small roads after all, as long as this errand is done, it will be okay to pay homage to the prince in the future." ”

Wang Yi and Jiang Mi hurriedly said, "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me." ”

The eunuch took the golden ticket handed over by Wang Yi, bowed his head with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, the matter is important, you should prepare immediately." ”

"Yes, thank you, father-in-law."

……

After getting Chai Zongxun's order, Jiang Mi didn't dare to delay, as soon as she returned to the mansion, she packed up her things and set off immediately with her people.

Jiang Mi didn't expect that as soon as she left with her front foot, Cui Zixuan's back foot appeared in front of her yard.

After hearing that Jiang Mi was going to Youzhou on Chai Zongxun's order, Cui Zixuan frowned, he turned to Ah Wu and ordered: "Go investigate and see what Chai Zongxun asked the Yang family to do in Youzhou!" ”

Ah Wu hurriedly replied yes.

Cui Zixuan thought for a while, and then said: "Let them be careful when they investigate, and report to me about everything." ”

"Yes."

After Ah Wu turned his head and made arrangements, he turned around and saw Cui Zixuan looking at Jiang Mi's courtyard in a trance, and couldn't help but approach him carefully, and he said in a low voice: "Childe, do you suspect that there is something wrong with Chai Zongxun's dictation?" ”

Cui Zixuan said lightly: "I don't doubt anything, it's just that I have never had any patience, and I was originally going to take revenge today, but the woman slipped away by herself, and felt that it was too cheap for her." ”

As soon as he heard Cui Zixuan's words, Ah Wusheng shuddered, and he didn't dare to breathe in the atmosphere of Cui Mansion this day, and even the temperature was ten degrees lower wherever his son-in-law went. The reason for this is because the humiliation of the son last night was too great, which annoyed him so much.

After a while, Cui Zixuan ordered, "Let them investigate the Yang clan's route by the way." ”

Listening to what he meant, but he wanted to catch up with the Yang family? Ah Wuyi Leng, seeing Cui Zixuan's gaze in a blink of an eye, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied decisively, "Yes!" ”

Just when Cui Zixuan led people to turn around, suddenly, a carriage came to him, and as the carriage stopped, Li Wu's figure appeared in front of Cui Zixuan's eyes.

The two suddenly collided, and their faces sank for a while. Li Wu looked at Cui Zixuan with a pale face, and said murderously: "The surname is Cui, Jiang Mi married you, but you made it so that no one can see the corpse now, what's the matter?" You fell in love with Yang again? Are you worthy of Jiang Mi for this? ”

Thinking of this, Li Wu was so angry that his chest ached!

Cui Zixuan glanced at Li Wu lightly.

His eyes were strange, as if they were pitiful, but also as if they were condescending disdain.

Just when the people behind Li Wu drew their swords at the same time, Cui Zixuan withdrew his gaze, he didn't pay attention to Li Wu, and just walked away.

As he passed by Li Wu, Cui Zixuan's low voice floated into his ears, "What about you, Li Wu?" Is it the Yang family that you are in love with? Or do you want to find the shadow of the sister you raised from the Yang family? ”

I have to say that Cui Zixuan's words were like a thunderbolt, which made Li Wu unable to move for a while.

In this way, Cui Zixuan walked away.

After walking out of the alley, Cui Zixuan glanced back at the stunned Li Wu, turned back to Ah Wu and said, "Li Wu is like this, which proves more and more that the Yang family is the Jiang family!" He is too familiar with Li Wu, a person like him would not suddenly like a woman inexplicably, and he would be willing to pay for her as a wife. This guy is self-deceiving, unwilling to trust his inner judgment, he is different!

Just thinking about this, Cui Zixuan's face suddenly turned dark, he grinded his teeth, and said hatefully: "If the Yang family is really the Jiang family, if the Yang family is really the Jiang family......" When he said this, he remembered the marks on his body that had not faded, and if the marks on his body were really left by Jiang Mi, then he, a woman, would not be able to teach him a hard lesson!

It's okay that he doesn't want this, but when he thinks about it, Cui Zixuan can't wait to immediately pull Yang over and strip her clothes!

……

Engaged in military orders, Jiang Mi did not dare to delay after he went on the road, and led 2,000 guards to hurry day and night.

After walking like this for ten days, Jiang Mi looked at the winding mountain road in front of him, and then glanced at the low but wooded peaks on both sides, frowned, and said to the left and right guards: "Pause." ”

She shouted the order, and the team immediately stopped.

Jiang Mi looked ahead for a while, and then ordered one of the guards, "You take two hundred people to explore the way." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the two hundred people left, Jiang Mi ordered again: "Rest in place." ”

"Yes."

It took an hour for the two hundred guards to come on horseback. As soon as they arrived, they reported to Jiang Miyu: "Madam, there is no abnormality ahead. ”

Jiang Mi nodded, she looked ahead, and said slowly: "Judging from the geographical records, although there are bandits here all the year round, there are no enemy soldiers. "And the ordinary bandits will not fight their ideas, because they are neither profitable caravans, nor are they dragged their families and have no fighting power.

After coming to this conclusion, Jiang Mi immediately ordered: "Okay, let's act." ”

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, two thousand people started again.

Jiang Mi has these 2,000 soldiers, all of whom are knights, and the sound of the horse's hooves "da-da-da" during the action is dull and orderly, showing a good discipline

Soon, the team passed through this mountain road that was fifty or sixty miles long, and looking at the village that appeared in view, a guard next to Jiang Mi said happily: "That place is good, we can camp there tonight." The place he was referring to was a hillside not far from the village.

Jiang Mi nodded.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the place where the camp was set was close at hand. Everyone in the team began to relax, talking and laughing.

Talking about the trouble, soon, the village has come to the fore.

At that moment, someone shouted, "Hey, how come there is no cooking smoke in this village at such a moment?" ”

Jiang Mi had already found out, she frowned and looked at it for a while, and ordered to the left and right: "You bring a hundred people in to have a look." ”

"Yes."

Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the hundred guards rushed into the village on horseback.

They came back very quickly, and they were all pale, and as soon as they rushed in front of Jiang Mi, one of the guards fell to the ground unsteadily, he got up in embarrassment, and said in a trembling voice to Jiang Mi: "Madam, that village, that village is all dead!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, another guard shouted profusely, "It's a trivial matter when people die, but next to the corpses of those villagers, there are our flags left everywhere. ”

"Our flag?" Jiang Mi didn't understand much yet.

Seeing that she was puzzled, the third guard said in a deep voice: "Yes, some of the flags left in the village have the character "Yang" written on them, which are exactly the same size and shape as our flags, and there are dozens of corpses left, and they are also dressed in the same way as us. ”

Almost as soon as the guard's words came out, Jiang Mi shouted, "Not good!" ”

It's a pity that it's still late, just when she blurted out the "bad" sentence, suddenly, from behind her and from the mountains and forests on the left and right, hundreds of people came out, these people were obviously local officers and soldiers and ordinary people, and the one who walked in the front was dressed as a county magistrate.

At a glance when they saw Jiang Mi and the others, the people behind the officers and soldiers pointed at them and screamed, "It's them!" "It's these thieves who robbed our property and slaughtered the villagers in my village!" "These executioners!" "These heinous people!" "Kill them!" "Kill them all!!"

I don't know who took the lead, all of a sudden, on the mountainside, in the mountains and forests, there were screams of "kill them all" everywhere!

Although the guards have seen a lot of the world over the years, this kind of inexplicable thing that is pointed out by thousands of people is only encountered in their lives, and for a while, they were all stupid, and they turned their heads to look at Jiang Mi one by one.

Jiang Mi pursed her lips tightly, and her face turned pale for a moment.

At this time, one of the guards shouted, "It's not us, we have just ......arrived," and he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, the screams and scolding and crying became louder, "It's you, it's you!" "You guys are dressed exactly like the murderer, and you still want to quibble?" "If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have packed up the scene and fled!"

The more angry they became, the more and more irrepressible scolding sounds, alarmed the birds in the mountains and forests, and also alarmed the villages not far away, Jiang Mi and others saw that there were people coming from all directions, especially the Jiuqu Mountain Range behind, there were many people on the mountain road, and they didn't know how many people came.

One of the guards glanced around, and asked in a trembling voice towards Jiang Mi, "Madam, what should I do now?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Mi pursed her lips and didn't speak, the other guard also hurriedly said, "Madam, hurry up and explain to these people!" ”

Jiang Mi finally spoke, her voice was hoarse, "We were fooled!" ”

In the eyes of the guards around him, Jiang Mi said with a white face: "These people have been ambushed here for a long time, just waiting for us to be caught...... We've fallen into a trap! ”

Jiang Mi looked at the guards and said in a dumb voice, "We have fallen into a trap!" ”

At this moment, the county order broke out in the shouts of the people, he turned his head and said something, and a middle-aged man standing next to the county order strode towards Jiang Mi and the others.

Walking in front of Jiang Mi in a few steps, the middle-aged man looked Jiang Mi up and down, stroked his long beard and asked, "You are Mrs. Yang?" ”

Jiang Mi looked at the visitor expressionlessly.

The middle-aged man stepped forward again, and he smiled, "Madam Yang, would you like to take a step?" ”

Jiang Mi was trying to figure out something, she nodded, turned around and said a few words, and Jiang Mi walked to the side with the middle-aged man.

After seeing that everyone around couldn't hear his conversation, the middle-aged man came to Jiang Mi and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Yang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the villain to say hello to you!" ”

As soon as the middle-aged man said this, Jiang Mi's face was cold.

The middle-aged man glanced at Jiang Mi proudly, lowered his voice and said slowly, "Mrs. Yang probably doesn't know, right?" In the Jiuqu Mountains that you just passed, there are still 5,000 soldiers and horses hidden. Now, those people are waiting for an order, and they will immediately rush out of the mountain and wipe out Mrs. Yang and your blood-washed subordinates in Changjia Village! ”

When Jiang Mi heard this, he said in a cold voice in a hoarse voice: "What do you princes want?" ”

The middle-aged man laughed, he clapped his hands and said, "Madame is really refreshing." In a blink of an eye, he said again: "Originally, His Highness is very patient, and he also wants to play more cat and mouse games with his wife, but there are too many people who take a fancy to his wife, and His Royal Highness has important things to do, so he really can't spare time to waste time on his wife......"

He was still rambling, Jiang Mi had already interrupted his words and said coldly: "You just say the result." ”

The middle-aged man choked at first, and then laughed in a blink of an eye, he glanced at the subordinates behind Jiang Mi who were standing straight and straight, and Rao was also awe-inspiring at this point, and sighed: "It's really some elite soldiers in a hundred battles, it's a pity to kill them like this." Speaking of this, he turned to Jiang Mi, who was pale, and said with a smile: "What does Your Highness mean, there are two paths in front of Madame, one is that Madame was the one who slaughtered the villagers, and was killed by us along with your subordinates, and second, Madame voluntarily married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a concubine, as for these subordinates of yours and the property of your Youzhou Yang family, of course, your Madame Yang willingly took it out and dedicated it to His Royal Highness the Prince." After a slight pause, he asked kindly: "Mrs. Yang, there are only two roads, which one do you think is the best way to choose?" ”

Jiang Mi lowered her head and muttered for a while, then said in a dumb voice: "I have to think about this matter." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Madame, don't think about it too long, you must know that the five thousand soldiers and horses in Xia and Zai Xia have never had much patience!" (To be continued.) )
