However, this question was not a problem in front of the wise queen, and she said gently: "Muli, you need not be in a hurry. You are going this time for the hundreds of millions of Li people in southern Xinjiang. How can I let you go empty-handed. Don't worry, when you follow the county lord's fleet to Jiangnan, the team I sent to deliver you things, manpower, and money should also reach Jiangnan. So, you're just having no use for these few days at sea, no salutation, no money. But don't worry about that. The county lord is rich in the world, and he is a generous person, so he will not treat you badly. ”

It's true. Actually, Mu Li wasn't worried that the county lord of Da Chu would detain him, he was only worried that the queen would detain him. So, Mu Li said, "I will definitely do my best, but if I can't complete the task smoothly because I don't have the resources at hand, then can't I be blamed?" Then when I come back, will there be no fiefdom either? ”

The queen frowned.

Muli continued: "Everything is fine at sea. But if you go to the capital, go to the county lord's house or meet the county lord's family, then this reward is certain. Those subordinates are all low-minded, and they are generous, and it will be easier for me to see the county lord and his wife in the future, and it will be easier to get any news. Not to mention, after arriving in the capital of Dachu, you have to think of making friends with dignitaries, which is all expenses. I won't say anything else, although it was only one side just now, but I also saw that the Lord Zhao and the county lord of Dachu that the queen said were the stewards of the Zhao family caravan of Dachu merchants, who had been very beautiful in Guangzhou City these days. ”

"They haven't been in Guangzhou for long, but. Which of the powerful nobles of all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang does not know them? How smoothly are they doing things here? How did this all come about? Didn't you buy it with money? I won't say anything else, but just what I saw with my own eyes, how much did they reward those servants and the like after two fights? How much to donate to the Queen? ”

When the queen heard this, her heart moved.

The patriarch of the Bai tribe said: "What Mu Li said is very right. Hades is so good that the little ghost is hard to pick. Those servants can't do it if they don't give rewards, and as long as Mu Li arrives in the capital, he will be taken care of by the county lord and his family, and it will be easy to make friends with dignitaries and nobles. Maybe it will be useful in the future. ”

The queen thought it was. The tone became more and more gentle: "Muli, good boy, don't worry, I will not embarrass you." You didn't go to Dachu by yourself. You have a lot of responsibility. I'll make sure you have it all arranged. ”

Mulley thought for a moment and said, "I want all my men to go." In a moment, I'll draw up a list for the Queen, and. You need some specialties from southern Xinjiang, such as batik fabrics, precious herbs and the like. There are also items such as pearls from Hepu, which are used to make friends with powerful people. And then there's the silver ticket. Da Chu uses the silver ticket of Da Chu Bank. ”

The queen nodded, thinking to herself, this Mu Li is not as sloppy as he appears, you look clear-headed, and the arrangement is well organized. Luckily, he was taken away, or it was a huge threat to Ram.

The queen's smile became more and more kind and said: "It's all up to you, if you think about it carefully, what you need, you can write it out in a while." Also, after you arrive in Jiangnan, after you get the first batch of things we sent, you can also send a letter, and I will prepare it for you. The poor family is rich, and you will never be wronged outside. ”

Mu Li didn't delay either, and began to think and write while he could.

Time passed quickly, Mu Li's list had not yet been drawn up, Chen Wenhui had already sent someone to urge, their things were all packed, and now Chen Wenhui came over and said: "Our husband and wife and the queen husband and wife will ride in a carriage together and go out of the city together." ”

The queen looked at the sword in Zhao Chongyi's hand, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Chongyi's sword was a sword that was as sharp as clay, and suddenly felt that her hairs stood up.

Chen Wenhui continued: "Ram and my maid will be my carriage. ”

Mu Li smiled at this time and said: "I will not take the carriage, let's ride a horse, please give me the token to go out of the city, I will give you the front station, first take the county lord's guards to ask someone to open the city gate, and say that the queen will go out of the city to inspect." ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but look Mu Li up and down. I saw that Mu Li was a very handsome young man, but a little dark. His eyes are also deep-set and his cheekbones bulge, but this adds to the angular feeling of his face, which makes him look more manly. A pair of eyes are very big, very spirited, although it is in a hurry, but the body is wearing the best brocade of Da Chu's specialty, and a national costume made of lake-green satin, which is still very suitable.

In addition to these, he also wore a silver knife like an ordinary Bai nobleman, and the scabbard was also pure silver, and it was inlaid with pearls and gemstones.

This delicate dress looks like a gentleman. However, it is thoughtful, and it is very sophisticated. He saw that the carriage was already very crowded, so he didn't ask to take the carriage, and in order to win the trust of Chen Wenhui and his wife, he deliberately asked for the queen's token in front of him, and took the initiative to ask the guards of the Zhao family to follow. Why hadn't I heard of him in Guangzhou before?

Zhao Chongyi also had a little affection for this Mu Li, so he said, "Okay, Lu Yu, you accompany Mu Li Gongzi." ”

Lu Yu hurriedly followed Mu Li with a few guards, and the queen also gave the token Mu Li. At the same time, he glanced at the patriarch of the Bai clan with his husband, and the two husbands and wives were a little satisfied with Mu Li's ability.

The queen was more vigilant in her heart.

Muli took the token and rode away with the guard. The queen made the carriage according to the arrangement of Chen Wenhui and his wife. The Queen's bodyguard and guard of honor slowly marched towards the city gate. Try not to make a sound along the way, but such a large group of people walking, it is inevitable that they will not be discovered, and many nobles in Guangzhou City know that the queen is heading to the city gate late at night. It's all strange, but it's not unprecedented.

The queen is the king of southern Xinjiang, and southern Xinjiang does not have as many rules as Dachu, so the queen also often travels and inspects various places. Also, the Queen's Teng clan land is not in Guangzhou City, and every time the queen returns to the clan land, there is also a time to travel in the middle of the night. Therefore, although the nobles of Guangzhou City were surprised, they did not react much.

In this way, it was very smooth, and Chen Wenhui and the queen and his party came to the south gate of Guangzhou City. The door was brightly lit, the door was open, and Mu Li was waiting respectfully at the door. At the same time, there was also the general guarding the gate waiting at the door.

The general saw the Queen's carriage from afar and saluted.

When the queen's carriage passed by the general's side, the queen asked someone to open the curtains of the carriage, and the queen smiled gently: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The general saw the patriarch of the Bai clan from the curtain of the carriage, and he had no doubts in his heart, and said respectfully: "Meet Her Majesty, meet the patriarch." I heard the eldest prince say, Her Majesty is going back to the clan land in the middle of the night? ”

The queen glanced at Muli and said, "Yes." With that, he lowered the curtains.

The general was busy sending the queen respectfully. In fact, the queen is the king, and where she wants to go is not something that a gatekeeper general can ask. However, this general is not an outsider, he is a member of the Bai clan, and according to blood, he is still the nephew of the patriarch of the Bai clan, so he has the courage to say a few words.

The queen lowered the curtains and waited until the large army walked out of the gate of Guangzhou City, and then said lightly to Chen Wenhui and his wife: "Why is the county lord working so hard? Now that we've made an alliance to trade, how can I be against you? Before, Ram was ignorant, and you taught her a lesson. The misunderstanding between us has been resolved, you can stay in Guangzhou City with peace of mind, and after I have held a grand farewell for you, you can take the land route or the sea route, isn't it safe and secure? ”

"Look at you now, the dignified Lord Zhao, Lord Wen Hui deigned to stay in this narrow carriage, and squatted under the seats of our husband and wife, I am really wronged."

Chen Wenhui and his wife came out from under the queen's throne, still holding a sharp blade in their hands. Just now, when the queen probed to speak out of the window, the sword in Zhao Chongyi's hand was always against the queen.

Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "Don't say those polite words between you and me." More on that later. But thank you for the Queen's cooperation just now, it's just that the Queen has to send us to the port. ”

The queen frowned and said, "The wharf in Guangzhou City is an external wharf, and it is said that in the previous dynasty, from here you could reach the depths of the distant ocean. It's just that we people in southern Xinjiang are not good at shipbuilding, and there is no maritime trade, so the port has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and only some fishermen who live nearby go out to sea to fish from there on weekdays. It's really simple, can you dock a big ship? How do you know about that port? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and said, "The queen seems to have forgotten who built this Guangzhou city? Was it built by the Baiyi people? ”

The Queen's Speech. It is true that this Guangzhou city was not built by the Baiyi people. This was built by Emperor Guanglie of the previous dynasty. However, maintenance and repairs were carried out by later rulers. The palace where the queen lives now is just a temple built by Emperor Guanglie. Chen Wenhui's words were ironic, but the queen could only listen. Thinking about it, Chen Wenhui is a disciple of Emperor Guanglie, so she sarcastically mocked the queen, and the queen really had nothing to say.

Chen Wenhui said: "Although the port you mentioned is good, it has been abandoned for many years, and it has long been impossible to dock large ships. We are now at a different docking point. You'll find out in a moment. I advise the queen to wait until we are gone, and to rebuild the port where I am taking you now, so that we can trade by sea, or the caravan's ships will not be able to dock. ”

The queen suddenly became interested and hurriedly said, "This is nature. I'll build it when I go back. (To be continued......)
