Chapter 106: Holding Thick Legs

Chen Wenhui and his wife stayed in Shanghai for two days, and Mu Li didn't visit enough, so he was dragged by Chen Wenhui and his wife to Huzhou Qingyang City. From Shanghai City to Huzhou, there are two roads, one is the waterway, which is more comfortable, but it is too slow. One is by land. Naturally, it was much faster with a horse-drawn carriage.

This land route is fast because it consists of two sections. Now it is built in Shanghai City, the road from Shanghai City to Suzhou City. Then there is the road from Suzhou City to Qingyang City. These two roads are bluestone roads, very clean and tidy, neat, and the carriage can run fast on them. It is only a day or two from Shanghai City to Suzhou City, and it is only a day or two from Suzhou City to Qingyang City, which is much faster than the waterway.

What's more, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi had already told their people in Jiangnan about their itinerary, and when their husband and wife were still at sea, Chen Wenhui's luxurious and comfortable, rubber-wheeled carriage had been prepared in the Qinghe Building in Shanghai.

Chen Wenhui and his wife took this carriage, and the speed and comfort were first-class.

Their carriage was comfortable, but Muli did not have such a carriage, and those guards were easy to do, riding horses directly, faster than the carriage, but Shuilian and Shuihong did not have such carriages.

However, Qinghelou has already prepared, and has prepared two carriages for Shui Hong, Shui Lian and Mu Li, both of which are produced by Swift Wind, although they are not as good as carriages with rubber wheels, but the comfort is still okay, and they run very fast.

On the day of his departure, Zhao Chongyi was still not satisfied, he still had a lot of things to do, and he had too many constraints in Shanghai. After all, the Ma family is Concubine Ma Shu's mother's family. Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said: "It's better to let Shuilian and Shuihong have a carriage with me, and you and Mu Li Gongzi can both ride horses, thinking about it, it won't be too hindering for you to suffer some grievances." If we are tired from riding horses on the road, we can get into our carriage and rest for a while, so that the three of us can ride horses. It just can't be ridden for too long. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "This is just a few days of work. What's the matter, when we were fighting in the northwest, we stayed on horseback all day. I just don't know how about Mulley? Still, I don't think so. He seems to have kung fu. It's his two maids who are in trouble. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Let's go first. Those other maids of ours. The steward, the cook, and the like, slowly drove back in the two carriages of the Swift Wind Hall. It's only three or four days behind us. ”

Zhao Chongyi thought about it. I happily agreed.

According to Chen Wenhui's arrangement, the speed of travel was indeed much faster. Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, they set off, non-stop, and the road was full of dry food. Chen Wenhui was better, and used some light road dishes in the carriage. At night, I had to hurry until it was dark before I stopped. In this way, on the first day, they went to live in a bustling town not far from Suzhou City.

In fact, it is possible to rush when it is dark, but Zhao Chongyi is afraid that it is not safe in the black clothes, even if he is not afraid of encountering bad people, he is also afraid that there will be a horse stumbling. So, I still found a clean inn in the town and stayed there.

In this way, Chen Wenhui's master and servant were able to take a rest, eat some serious meals, and Zhao Chongyi's horse could also take a rest.

In the evening, Chen Wenhui was soaking her feet under the service of Shui Lian and Shui Hong, Zhao Chongyi came in with a smile and said: "I didn't expect that Mu Li Gongzi's riding and archery skills are very good, and at the end of this day, he has not fallen behind at all, nor has he had the habit of being a fool." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and said, "The queen is really out of sight." I think that the queen let Mu Li Gongzi come out this time to let Jiaolong out of the abyss. ”

Zhao Chongyi thought about it, and laughed. was laughing, and suddenly saw Chen Wenhui's feet soaking in the basin. Because I was in the carriage all day, my feet were not tired, but my legs were still very tired, and they were a little swollen.

Zhao Chongyi couldn't help but feel very distressed and said: "Hui'er, it's really hard for you, I'm afraid you haven't suffered yet." ”

Chen Wenhui has really never suffered such hardships in her life. However, in her previous life, Chen Wenhui worked hard in the shopping mall, and there were times when she was more hard-working than this, so Chen Wenhui didn't care and said: "This is nothing." Don't delay tomorrow at all. I haven't walked, I've been sitting in the car, and it's not your hard work, but your horseback riding is called hard work. Hurry up and sit down, I'll give you a massage. ”

As she spoke, Chen Wenhui asked Shui Lian and Shui Hong to wipe her feet, put on socks, and soft sleeping shoes. Zhao Chongyi was a little surprised and said, "You can also massage?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Do you think that I am from a family girl, so I won't do anything?" I learned medical skills from Aunt Hu, and I know how to do simple acupuncture, massage, and moxibustion. ”

At this moment, Zhao Chongyi understood, hurriedly freshened up, and lay down to let Chen Wenhui massage.

Chen Wenhui didn't say much, her skills are really good, she has the experience of her previous life, and she has also learned from the Hu family in this life, so she massaged Zhao Chongyi very comfortably.

Zhao Chongyi is so comfortable here, and Mu Li is lying on the bed alone, looking at the cyan tent in a daze. These days, he has become accustomed to the meticulous care and attention of Akiko and Gardenia. Especially with Mingzi, who has just started, it is the time when the love is hot, and I miss it very much.

In fact, when Mu Li was in Guangzhou City, there were many beauties around him, but the women in southern Xinjiang were not as good as Mingzi in terms of appearance and gentleness. This made him like Akiko a little bit.

This time, in order to hurry, he could only let Mingzi and others follow slowly on the road, so there was no one around him for a while, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

However, this unaccustomed habit was left behind by Mu Li for a while.

He had something else on his mind.

From the moment he arrived in Xinguang City, Mu Li began to be shocked, the prosperity of Xinguang City, the richness, happiness, and happiness of the people on the street infected him. When he arrived in the city of Shanghai, the majestic city, the scene of thousands of sails competing stimulated him, as well as the various facilities in the city, the wide roads, the horse-drawn carriages, the rows of shops, and the neat and beautiful and coordinated urban planning, all of which shocked Mu Li.

Today, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to look closely at the people on the road, but I also saw that it was a thriving scene. He didn't know that they were walking in the richest province of Dachu today, Suzhou Province, and the people were naturally richer, and they were also more prosperous along the way.

Mu Li thought that the whole Da Chu was like this.

As soon as he thought about the whole thing, Mu Li felt a little chill in his heart. Is such a powerful Great Chu comparable to their poor and backward southern Xinjiang? Poor those nobles in southern Xinjiang are fighting endlessly, and they have never taken Da Chu seriously. I have always talked about the fact that when Great Chu had just been founded, he marched into southern Xinjiang and was defeated by the Baiyi people in southern Xinjiang.

I don't want to think about it, now, Da Chu has been developing for hundreds of years, and he has already recovered his vitality, and now he has solved the big trouble of the barbarians, so can he still deal with Southern Xinjiang? If you deal with Southern Xinjiang, how can Southern Xinjiang win such a powerful Great Chu?

Mu Li felt a little bitter in his heart. Think about your previous thoughts, take this opportunity to get acquainted with some nobles of Da Chu, find some ways, and wait until after returning to southern Xinjiang, he and his younger brother have their own territory, far away from Guangzhou City, you can be at ease, if you want to spend money, just find the way of Da Chu to trade, can you not afford the expenses of yourself and your younger brothers?

When the time comes, marry a beautiful woman, get a few concubines, and give birth to a group of Xiaobai nobles. Isn't it a good life? As for the grudge with the queen, it is best to have a chance to revenge, if there is no chance, then forget it, who makes the family powerful?

However, now that he has seen the powerful Da Chu, Mu Li feels uncomfortable.

He seemed to have seen that the iron cavalry of Da Chu had broken through the peace of southern Xinjiang, saw rivers of blood flowing everywhere, and saw that the Baiyi people had once again returned to the low status of the previous dynasty, and the Qin people turned over and became masters.

A cold sweat broke out from Muli, and Akiko had been forgotten by him. He understands that if there is really this day, there will be no eggs under the nest, and southern Xinjiang will be finished, and he, a Bai nobleman, will no longer be a nobleman. will become a slave of the country, and when the time comes, what is like a beautiful flower, what wives and concubines are in groups, and what children are in a pile will be in vain.

Mu Li closed his eyes, and his heart was extremely difficult.

Suddenly, something occurred to him. To be exact, it's a thing, the map that Chen Wenhui has put away by Mingzi.

At that time, on the boat, Chen Wenhui showed him such a way and told the story of Princess Lichuan. When he saw Shanghai City, he thought about how much courage Princess Lichuan had to give up the majestic city of Shanghai City and go to Siam, which is more remote and backward than southern Xinjiang, to develop?

That is, he was a little hesitant about whether to follow the path of Princess Lichuan, with the help of Xiao Chen's family, the Zhao family, and with the help of Da Chu, to build a small country next to Siam and set up his own door. Now when he thought of the not very bright prospects of southern Xinjiang in the future, he suddenly did not hesitate.

Men have to make a decision on the spot, so let's seize this opportunity to fight.

If he succeeds, in the future, his children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy prosperity and wealth, and they will be able to avoid the disasters in southern Xinjiang in the future. But what if it doesn't work out?

Then follow your own destiny, it's not a big deal.

Thinking of this, Mu Li suddenly relaxed.

However, if you want to succeed, you just rely on Mu Li alone, but you can't do it, if you want to succeed in building the country, you can only go to the big thick legs of the Da Chu, Zhao family, and Xiao Chen family.

This big thick leg is not easy to hold, and people want him to pay the price. What is the cost? Needless to say, it's southern Xinjiang. Do you want Muli to betray southern Xinjiang? Muli fell into deep thought. (To be continued......)
