Chapter 280: Strong Reinforcements
By the time Cheng Jin and Lin Changyuan arrived at the courtyard next door, Xie Ke had already freshened up and dressed up under the service of Red Leaves.
She changed back to her old attire and headdress. Seeing this, Lin Changyuan's heart tightened, and Cheng Jin had been with Xie Ke for a long time after all, and he could get a glimpse of it from Xie Ke's expression.
"Isn't the young grandmother already meeting the person in charge of the Yan family?"
Xie Ke nodded.
The calm look on his face finally eased the worry in Lin Changyuan's heart a little.
"The other party actually took advantage of the danger of others, young grandma, do we have to plan early." Lin Changyuan measured his own and the other party's forces in his heart. There are dozens of guards on his side, plus Daya and ten others, all of them are masters who can fight with one enemy and ten, so they really want to fight, although there are few people on their side, they will not necessarily lose.
"Brother Lin, don't worry, listen to what the young grandmother has to say first."
Lin Changyuan nodded, holding back the anxiety in his heart. "The head of the Yan family came to visit ...... just now" just one sentence made Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin almost shout in unison. The head of the Yan family? That legend is that the head of the Yan family is the head of the dragon and the head and the tail.
"Yan Nan?"
Xie Ke nodded. "It's indeed Yan Nanqi."
"Legend has it that the man is very difficult to speak, young grandmother, is he embarrassed for you?" Cheng Jin said worriedly. At this time, Xie Ke's face was no different, but Cheng Jin dared to think about the good side.
The Yan family is also a century-old family.
The Yan clan has been hovering in the southern part of the Great Wei Dynasty, and speaking of which, the reputation of the Yan clan in the south may not even be as good as the emperor. For the emperor, this is naturally like a fish in the throat. But no matter how angry the emperor was, he didn't dare to take action against the Yan clan easily.
That's not something that can be suppressed by just adding a charge of treason.
Therefore, when Xie Ke mentioned the head of the Yan family, his expressions changed greatly. "Who are you as the head of the Yan family, and how can he embarrass my little girl." Cheng Jin's faces softened a little. Since the Gan clan has been able to gain a foothold in the south for a hundred years, it naturally has its own advantages. Although the world will pass on Yan Nan's unkindness, I think that the reputation of my second master is better than that of Yan Nan.
The second master of his own family is actually a little arrogant.
But nature is not bad. It can be seen that such a thing cannot be fully believed by false rumors.
However, since the head of the Yan family is here. Grandma must be young in Wushui, and it will be difficult. "Young grandma doesn't have to mind. This road is not passable, let's change the road, why don't we pack up and rush to Tongzhen as soon as possible? Lin Changyuan was already planning in his heart if the other party did not let him go. How much damage will be lost if they force their way away.
On the side, Cheng Jin also nodded. They all felt that the head of the Yan family was here. No matter what plan her young grandmother has in her heart, she is going to die.
The other party won't be stupid enough to drag the entire black water into the quagmire.
Even if the young grandmother holds the title deed in her hand. As long as the other party refuses to admit it, they are helpless.
Looking at the melancholy on the faces of the two subordinates. Listening to their forced laughter and reassure, Xie Ke felt that he was being 'blackmailed' by Yan Nanduo again, which was actually acceptable.
"Leave? We're leaving, just waiting one more day. ”
Lin Changyuan's faces couldn't help but be full of doubts. "I have made an agreement with the head of the Yan family. The Gan clan will help the second master to calm down the disaster in the south. Xie Ke said this very calmly, and his tone and expression were the same as always. But the meaning of these words made Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin stunned for an instant.
Young grandmother persuaded Yan?
Will Gan come to help?
That's something they don't dare to think about. Among them, Lin Changyuan knows relatively more. Before his second master left Beijing, a staff member once proposed that the second master go to the Yan family for help.
But the second master did not hesitate to refuse.
Just one sentence, the Yan clan will not help. After that, he inquired a little more vaguely. It seems that this feud has been concluded for decades, but as for how to make a feud, he can't find out.
Then he made intensive arrangements for this trip, and he put the matter behind him.
However, since his second master is convincing, the old anxiety of the Yan family and the Qi family cannot be resolved for a while...... Even the second master asserted that it was impossible, how could his young grandmother get things done.
At this moment, Lin Changyuan didn't admire Xie Ke anymore, he simply felt that Xie Ke was the goddess of heaven, and she came down to help his second master.
With the Yan family, the disaster cannot be calmed down for a while, but it should not be difficult to save the life of the second master.
After all, my grandfather is in the south, not only to provide disaster relief, but also to always beware of color calculations, which can be described as difficult step by step.
"How did the young grandmother convince the head of the Yan family? The subordinates had heard that the man was not a good talker. ”
"Hearsay is just a rumor. The head of the Yan family is very young, and he cares about the people. I only said that the cooperation between the Yan family and the second master can calm the disaster and save the lives of the people, so he nodded. ”
It's that simple?
Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin glanced at each other, and felt that their young grandmother didn't seem to tell the whole truth. "Naturally, the Yan family also has something to ask for, but what the Yan family wants is not difficult in my opinion. The most important thing at the moment is to agree with Yan Nan on the follow-up, and then we rush to the south. ”
"Southside? Aren't we going to Tongzhen? ”
The word 'southern border' directly diverted Lin Changyuan's attention. Although they all have the word 'south'. But the southern and southern borders of Great Wei are two places.
After all, the south has been the people of the Great Wei for generations, but the south is a foreign race.
"The second master is no longer in Tongzhen, and our trip to Tongzhen is just a delay. It's better to go straight to the south. ”
"But......" Lin Changyuan wanted to say that the southern border was extremely dangerous. Even better than the North. Their trip to the north is enough to make people exhausted, and they still have to enter the south at this time, and they don't even know where the second master is in the south, how to find it?
"The head of the Yan family will go together." Xie Ke's last sentence easily blocked Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin's mouths.
"No matter what happens in the south, it can't escape the eyes and ears of the Yan family. The second master entered the southern border ten days ago...... "Xie Ke is actually worried at this time, but she is the master, and she brought a group of subordinates here.
Even if she was worried in her heart, she couldn't show the worry on her face.
Because of the master's words and deeds, she always affects her subordinates, she affects Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin, and the expressions of the two of them will affect the guards.
So even if he was extremely bitter in his heart, Xie Ke had to hold on.
As for why she must enter the southern border, as Yan Nan said, that place, nine times out of ten, she will not return.
It is that Qi Lu has no worries about his life in the south, and it is not easy to make a difference, Yan Nan means that since he and Xie Ke have reached a cooperation intention, he is naturally obliged to enter the south to help Qi Lu.
And the reason for the delay is one day.
It's because Yan Nan wants to arrange disaster relief......
The most scarce food shortage is food. The Yan clan does have grain in stock, but the Yan family's grain stock is in a very secret place. Yan Nan needs to mediate in person before it can be transported to Tongzhen first.
As for this grain, it is naturally considered to be purchased by Qi Lu with disaster relief silver.
In this way, Yan Nan also seemed to be an elder in the clan.
This is also one of the reasons why Yan Nan should inherit it in the end, Yan's large amount of food cannot be taken out plainly, and there must be some return. And the reward that the Yan family wants, silver is one of them, and the most important thing is reputation.
A big good name.
Therefore, Xie Ke wanted to arrange for someone to spread the good name of the Yan family.
And there is no mention of the silver two. It seems that Xie Ke has suffered a loss, after all, this grain was bought with silver, but he has to claim that it was donated by the Yan family...... But after thinking about it, Xie Ke didn't do a loss-making business, her trip was intended to help Qi Lu, the Yan family's reputation in the south was already at its peak, she was just icing on the cake.
As for Qi Lu, the young man had never cared about this.
What's more, the aura on the young man's body is enough, and there is no need to add any more icing on the cake.
It's better to 'give' it to the Yan family...... And Yan Nan wanted to enter the southern border with her, which surprised Xie Ke, but Yan Nan's reason was very sufficient, he said that he had entered the southern border three times, and all of them retreated.
This alone was enough for Xie Ke to nod his head in welcome.
Xie Ke picked an important matter and explained it to Lin Changyuan, Lin Changyuan nodded again and again, and went down to make arrangements. Cheng Jin only opened his mouth with a solemn face at this time. "Young grandma, is the Yan family not only going to be 'good name'? Do they have any other requirements? ”
Xie Ke looked at the subordinate in front of him who had been with her for several years and felt very comforted.
He is no longer as reckless as Cheng Jin at the beginning, he is acting more and more steadily, knowing that there are some things that should not be asked in front of Lin Changyuan...... "It's not a difficult thing to do, when the second master is safe, I will discuss it with the second master." Xie Ke didn't want to say more, and Cheng Jin nodded and didn't ask any more.
He always believed in his master.
On the second day, a crack was opened in the gate of Wushui City, and then several fast horses drove out.
On the same day, the news of Gan's relief began to spread widely among the victims. For a while, a large number of victims rushed to Tongzhen, and the victims of Wushui Town, who had surrounded Wushui Town for several days, also dispersed one after another, and Wushui Town finally returned to calm again.
The next day, it was still cloudy. The gates of Wushui City were wide open.
A carriage accompanied by dozens of light horsemen went out of the city gate and drove away, and everyone who saw it sighed and wondered.
Because the direction of the group was the south.
The southern border, that is a terrifying existence. Even the Wushui people who are not far from the southern border will not set foot in the southern border lightly. In the hearts of the people, it is a land from which there is no return.
If it weren't for the mountains separating the southern border, they would have lived in fear day and night.
I heard that life in the south is ugly, and I will have nightmares when I see it.
And the people of the south like to raise insects, if that thing is provoked, it will be bitten through the stomach. And in the southern border, it is said that puddles will trap people. As long as a person accidentally steps on it, it will be topless in a moment.
In short, the southern border is not a place where people can live.
But that team of people actually went straight to the south...... It's not that I've lived too long. [Thank you for your commuter pass.] Thank you for the peace charm of the 'Bathing Fire Bingchen'. (To be continued.) )
