Chapter 270: The First Stop
Chapter 270: The First Stop
"Sister Bao, everyone in the world says that women should abide by women's morality, but what is women's morality? Even if you know that your husband is in trouble, you still want to hide in the inner house to whitewash the peace? Or do you watch your husband get into danger, but you can only cry in the inner house? No, what should be women's virtues...... Think about what your husband thinks, and be anxious about what your husband is anxious about. When you know that your husband is in trouble, you should go to help you desperately, just like you said, even if you can't help, it's good to take a look and stay for a while. ”
These words simply spoke to Xie Ke's heart.
She nodded heavily, and under the worried gaze of Princess Yuyang, she stepped into the carriage out of the city.
As Xie Ke expected, the emperor knew the news of Xie Ke's trip early on. The emperor scoffed at this...... In Emperor Renhe's view, Xie Ke's move was undoubtedly a death.
He also thought about blocking it, but Empress Song's words dispelled the emperor's doubts.
Empress Song said, just a Xie family, just leave, isn't the little county lord at Princess Yuyang? Are you still afraid that Qi Lu and their husband and wife will grow wings? Although Empress Song spoke in a tone that Emperor Renhe was very disliked, Emperor Renhe felt that it was very reasonable. Others don't know, but he knows, Qi Lu's heirs are difficult, and this daughter is his lifeline.
Xie Ke was willing to leave his daughter in the capital.
What else did he have to worry about, the emperor even thought that Xie Ke would leave if he didn't come back. When the time came, he took their daughters into the palace and taught them himself.
Presumably when she grows up, she is not only a beautiful girl, but also a beautiful girl who listens to life. This is much better than staying by Na Xie's side to raise up.
The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and even felt in his heart that Xie Ke's obvious behavior of sending him to death was quite desirable...... As for what banner Xie Ke used to go out of the city? Does it matter? It was mentioned to him. said that Xie Ke was probably going to save Qi Lu, and the emperor didn't take it to heart.
A woman who has no skills except for her looks said that she was going to save people, that was really a big joke.
said that it was to send him to death.
In order to make a good impression in Mingyue's heart, the emperor even went to the Yuyang Eldest Princess's Mansion in person. personally condescended to tease the little girl. It's just that the little girl didn't see her mother last night, and she was in a bad mood. The arrival of the emperor naturally failed to leave a good impression in Xiao Mingyue's heart as expected, and even left a 'mark' on the emperor's wrist because the little girl was in a bad mood. The little girl has been teething lately. Whatever you catch, you have to grind it with those two little teeth.
In this regard, the emperor has nothing to do except secretly hate.
Is he going to have to deal with a child under the age of one? In the end, in the expression of the eldest princess of Yuyang, she slipped back to the palace.
***
Xie Ke originally only wanted Lin Changyuan to accompany him, but Cheng Jin knew about it. But you have to follow anyway. His reasoning was: He is the big treasurer under Xie Ke. Xie Ke no matter what the arrangement is. but through him to do it. And Yuhui also returned to Qi Mansion, if he didn't follow Xie Ke's side, his mother Cheng would scold him so bloody.
Xie Ke's trip was light and simple. Only a few dozen guards were brought with him. But they're all masters.
The girl only brought two new people into the house, called red leaves and fragrant leaves, it was a sister, thirteen or fourteen years old, fragrant leaves are serious, red leaves are lively and love to laugh. Along the way, Xie Ke served very thoughtfully.
With dozens of guards, it is naturally not safe to walk in this troubled world.
It's just that the guards of the Qi clan, all of them have been killed on the battlefield, and they naturally have a bloody aura on their bodies, and ordinary thieves naturally dare not provoke when they see such a team. Even if there are many bandits who want to provoke, as long as they show their faces, they will all be defeated and leave.
What's more, Daya and more than a dozen others still followed Xie Ke alive and dead.
These dozen northern men walked in front of the team, each tall and big, and at first glance they were killing gods...... Xie Ke still has one last insurance, and that is the secret guard arranged by Qi Lu.
Even Lin Changyuan didn't know how the secret guards protected each other all the way, but Lin Changyuan knew in his heart that his grandfather took the safety of the young grandmother very seriously, and since the young grandmother married into the Qi family, when he went to the north, there were also secret guards to protect him. It's just that he has never discovered the whereabouts of the secret guards, which shows that the secret guards arranged next to the young grandmother are all first-class masters.
The secret guards directly obey Qi Lu's orders, and they will only appear during extraordinary times, except for Qi Lu, they only respect Xie Ke's orders.
The so-called extraordinary time is when Xie Ke is in danger and his life is not guaranteed. Last time, Mrs. Qi forcibly broke in, and worried about her daughter, Xie Ke almost summoned the secret guard...... Qi Lu made it clear before leaving, the dark guard would only protect Xie Ke and Xiao Mingyue, and others would die in front of the dark guard, and the dark guard would not blink his eyes more.
Xie Ke was glad that she hadn't summoned the Dark Guard at that time.
If the Dark Guard had shown up at that time, she wouldn't have this last thing to rely on. Naturally, her trip was even more dangerous.
The last time Qi Lu sent the news, he said that he was in Tongzhen.
It was a small town in the south of Great Wei, only a hundred miles away from the southern border of Great Wei.
And the southern border of Great Wei is a famous land of smoke and miasma, and idle people dare not set foot in it.
The purpose of Xie Ke's trip was to a town called Wushui, a few hundred miles away from Tongzhen. It is an important town in the south of the Great Wei Dynasty, with a population of nearly 20,000 in the past, and I don't know how many people can survive this disaster. Along the way, you can see people fleeing with their families everywhere, Xie Ke felt sad when he first saw it, he saw a lot, he just wanted to rush to Wushui as soon as possible, and from the mouths of the people, he really couldn't find out any useful news.
It seems that Qi Lu and his party did not stop along the road, but went straight to the south.
The southern border is indeed the most severely affected place in the Great Wei, but Qi Lu went straight without regard for it, the more Xie Ke thought about it, the more frowning he became, shouldn't the disaster relief be planned step by step? If she was to make arrangements, she would go all the way south from the town closest to the capital for disaster relief, instead of going straight to the south without any scruples. The south is different from the north, and the people in the north are straightforward and advocate force. When Qi Lu first appeared in the north, he could make the people of the north admire and then be loyal to the wolf alone, but the south was different.
In the southern miasma, life is already difficult.
The people of the southern border are short and ugly in comparison, and it is extremely difficult to intersect.
The southern border and the northern border are both subject states of the Great Wei. Although he pays for his contributions every year on weekdays, he does not have much contact with the imperial court.
Xie Ke didn't know why Qi Lu was personally involved in danger...... Could it be that he also wants to make the people of the south sincerely obedient like the north...... And then use the capital of the southern border to solve the disaster in the south of the Great Wei?
In Xie Ke's opinion, this can be called wishful thinking. According to their schedule, it will take about six or seven days to reach Wushui day and night. As he went deeper and deeper into the south, rumors about Qi Lu finally increased. And some of them were in Xie Ke's ears, and she was so shocked that she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
