1127, prestige
- The kind of flame that seems to be able to swallow almost a qiΔ in an instant, at first it only ignites on the wood cart, and after the wood cart collapses, the flame stays on the surface of the ground for a short time with the ashes, but because of this moment's work, the slightly wet earth is about to be scorched.
Ji Wu walked to the pile of white ash left behind after the burning, squatted down and stretched out his palm, probed close to the white ash, and then he nodded sideways to Tian Qi beside him.
Tian Qi didn't speak, just exchanged glances with Ji Wu, and he knew something in his heart.
This kind of work ordered by the prime minister in private, Tian Qi and Ji Wu are not the first time to do it, and they are skillful and ruthless. The two of them have cooperated on this kind of thing several times. There are some rules that are already familiar with each other.
It's just to do this kind of thing to the people in your own house, after all, it's very rare. When Ji Wu stood up and walked away, a complicated look vaguely slipped in his eyes, but Tian Qi, who was standing, didn't see this scene.
After Ji Wu walked away a few steps, Tian Qi pulled out the knife wrapped in his clothes and fiddled with it a few times in the white ash. After some inspection, after making sure that there were no complete items left, he held the hand of the knife, turned his wrist slightly, shook the blade, picked up two burnt and deformed iron rings on the ground, and threw them into the blue lake water on the side.
The two rings, which had been nailed to the wheels, were now the only remnants of the flames. If you leave iron sheets, it is easy to wonder why even the car is burned when the garbage is burned. Removing these, the white ash of the ground is closer to the residue of burning the garbage.
The blade turned, cutting off a section of the sleeve of the undergarment. After brushing away the ashes stained on the edge of the blade, Tian Qi put the knife into the sheath, wrapped the knife into his coat again, and then looked sideways at Ji Wu on the side, and said calmly: "You can go." β
Ji Wu nodded slightly, and walked with Tian Qi, at this time he was vaguely different from when he came, when he left the crematorium, Ji Wu did not walk side by side with Tian Qi, but was a step behind.
Ji Wu's temperament is a bit silent and withdrawn. Tian Qi had long understood this. So I don't care. And even if he had the leisure to chat with Ji Wu about how he felt when he burned the corpse just now, he knew that now was not the time.
After walking out of a distance, Ji Wu and Tian Qi did not go back to Shifu directly, but turned a corner. Let's walk into the green bamboo forest next to the nameless lake.
Tian Qi and Ji Wu entered the bamboo forest. But it's not about going to the small temple deep in the bamboo forest to worship the Buddha. The two of them really wanted to take advantage of the dense shelter of the bamboo forest. Remove the disguise from your body.
By the time the two of them came out of the shade, their loose hair had been neatly tied up, and their saber coats were neatly put back on. The saber hangs on the waist as usual,
The two of them came to the nameless lake again, and without thinking about whether the blue water of the lake would contain any harmful substances, they quickly scooped up a handful of water and washed their faces. After the firewood ash that was deliberately wiped on their faces when they left the Shi Mansion just now was wiped clean, the two of them had already recovered the kind of spiritual qi that belonged to the ten generals.
Standing up on the shore of the lake, Ji Wu glanced at the faint surface of the lake, looking at his distorted reflection in the water, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Qi finished washing his face, and then stood up as well, he heard the sigh of his old partner in his ears, and naturally followed Ji Wu's gaze to the water.
Looking at the two reflections that stood side by side and distorted together, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes for a moment, and he suddenly asked, "Why are you ...... Reluctant? β
When Ji Wu heard this, he first turned his head sideways and glanced at Tian Qi, then he shook his head and didn't say anything.
"Look away, we're only burning three dead bodies." Tian Qi said lightly: "It's not that you haven't killed people with your own hands, why do you suddenly seem to be a little uncomfortable." β
After Tian Qi said this, he took steps to leave the lake, this time he was ready to go back to Shifu to resume his life.
Ji Wu followed closely behind Tian Qi, but his eyes were slightly straight, as if he was a little distracted.
He didn't care if Tian Qi could see it, and after hearing Tian Qi's questioning words, he shook his head again, and finally was willing to speak, and said slowly: "Betraying Xiangye, they deserve to die." I'm just thinking about something else. β
"What's the problem?" Tian Qi's steps slowed slightly, and when he looked back at Ji Wu, his steps moved slightly to the left. He is still used to walking side by side with Ji Wu, and he is not used to this taciturn partner almost silently behind him.
"If these three people have an afterlife, will they become a family?" Although Ji Wu's words mentioned 'family', there was no trace of warmth in his voice, "That man, in the final analysis, was dragged down by those two women and died." β
"If that man wasn't alone, maybe he would be like the other two nurses, not to death, but to be driven back to his hometown to farm." Tian Qi also sighed like Ji Wu, and then said, "I seem to understand a little bit why you think so. β
"Nope." Ji Wu immediately spoke out in denial, and a cold smile appeared on his face, "I didn't think about you so much, I just think that they died together, and if they want to be reincarnated, they should also be on the same road." β
Tian Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, he was a little surprised by Ji Wu's true thoughts.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly snorted coldly again, and said: "These two women are not gentle people, just playing, if there is such a person in the family, it will be difficult to prosper the family, and it will only cause more trouble." β
"Huh! The Wang family..."Ji Wu said suddenly: "Do you believe these? β
Tian Qi ignored him, and just continued what he had just said: "In addition to meeting the needs of that aspect, you can make up a number, and there is still nothing more than a woman who has many things." β
Ji Wu lowered his head and rubbed the handle of the knife on his waist, which was rough to the touch, and did not speak again.
The shore of the lake is not too far from the small temple in the woods, and the bell in the temple is heard, and the sound is very clear. Tian Qi suddenly closed his palm in front of his chest, and he didn't know if it was a prayer, he quickly let go of his hand and lowered it to press back on the handle of the knife at his side.

Although the princess did not arrive on time, this little accident ultimately failed to affect Yenono's ticket purchase plan.
Every year in spring and autumn, when the sea is shipped, the imperial court will temporarily open a trading house. The firm, together with several general managers of the Donghaikou wharf, issued a bill to be sold to the people of Kyoto a few days before the sea trade period.
Only after purchasing the ticket can the common people climb the several viewing platforms built on the pier to see the spectacular scene of the giant ship sailing up close.
Like the Spring Festival, it is a program that the people of Kyoto participate in very enthusiastically every year. The Spring Festival has the significance of welcoming the Spring Festival and the national ceremony, and the Spring and Autumn Shipping can show the country's comprehensive national strength. However, there is a slight difference between the two.
Visiting Xingshan Road to enjoy apricots during the Spring Festival, as well as viewing the flowers at the same time, and visiting the majestic buildings where the emperor's emperor and high-ranking officials in Beijing are located from a distance, these activities do not need to spend money to buy tickets. You only need to bring a family register that can prove that you are a Nanzhao person.
The Spring Festival and the National Birthday Ceremony are held together every year. However, the former is a celebration open to the common people and is more casual, while the latter requires some more cumbersome ceremonies. But the significance of both celebrations is the same. It is to celebrate the birthday of the national dynasty.
The Spring Apocalypse Festival opened the gate of the wolf's tooth siege for three consecutive days. The significance lies in the fact that Emperor Nanzhao regarded the country as his home. All the common people, who are the foundation of the country, are invited to their 'homes'.
However, the observation deck of the spring sea requires people to pay a certain amount of money and buy tickets to enter. In addition to the safety of the merchant ships in the Vietnam Sea, this filters out the right of a certain number of suspicious people to watch the scenery while selling tickets. It is also because of the operation of sea transportation that it is originally towards money.
Where you can make money, Emperor Nanzhao is not ambiguous at all. He can be diligent in restoring the people's livelihood so that the people can live a worry-free life as soon as possible, but at the same time, he does not want the people to save all the surplus money at home to collect ashes.
The emperor wanted silver, he wanted gold, and he wanted to use these as bargaining chips to buy something very wonderful.
Not only does he need a generous tax to fill the treasury as the finale of stabilizing the society, but he also needs some opaque revenue, which only he knows the details of the accounts, and does some wonderful things that are being experimented.
At present, he does not dare to fully trust the remnants of the former dynasty in the DPRK. Not to mention that none of those people are loyal and good ministers, but at least one or two rat-like characters give him a headache. However, the wonderful and uncontrollable churning of the blood is still in the experimental period, and before the mass production results are produced, this business is like when the water is about to freeze, and if you want to get a complete piece, without a trace of lines, there can be no slightest change in the process of forming.
Therefore, for that wonderful R&D project, it is absolutely necessary to keep the whole process confidential, and the most important thing at present is that the money must be continuously transferred to the past in order to support the continuity of the R&D process.
The business of shipping is a knife of fat that the emperor 'occupies' all the business on land in the Yan family, and when he is almost about to reach out to the sea, he takes the first step to get all the fat into his arms.
Although it is said that in the era of the imperial lord of the whole country, it seems that when he becomes an emperor, he can control everything, and he only needs a will to limit whomever he wants, and he wants to cut down who has the support of the army, but in fact, if a cause has existed in the world for a long time, forming a set of mature rules, the knife of power controlled by manpower will not be completely cut off so quickly, no matter how sharp it is.
For example, after more than 300 years, the previous dynasty accumulated a set of laws and national policies. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Ling was too extravagant and did not appoint people on the basis of merit, and the country's brain was 'poisoned' deeper and deeper, if he could seriously govern in accordance with the set of national policies set by Zhou Taizong step by step, even if the emperor who succeeded to the throne did not have new initiatives, it would not be impossible for the Zhou Dynasty to continue for another hundred years.
Today's Nanzhao has completely abandoned the name of the previous dynasty, but ninety percent of the other systems of the dynasty follow the essence of the previous dynasty. Emperor Nanzhao did the most in this regard, in fact, it was only to modify and fill in the gaps on the original basis.
Before the establishment of Nanzhao, the business network of the Yan family had spread all over the country. By the time Wang Chi sat firmly on the emperor's seat, the power and financial resources of the Yan family's merchants had reached a point where the emperor felt a little worried.
After the operation of the national intelligence agency, it is not difficult to find out that the Yan family also made a few 'national troubles' during the war in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but if you want to rely on the evidence of this crime, the Yan family will be 'one size fits all', and it will hurt the foundation of many local merchants, and then shake the land merchant building of the Southern Zhao Empire. After weighing it again, for the behemoth in commercial activities like the Yan family, Emperor Nanzhao decided to take it slowly.
While persuading the Yan family to join Nanzhao, he stepped up his steps. Take Dijing as an example, create a group of merchant representatives in the country. It's just that these are all things that take a long time to work hard to achieve results, but a secret and intense undertaking that is being carried out in front of us can't wait.
Therefore, Emperor Nanzhao could only hold on to the shipping that he completely controlled, try his best to make money, and open up new paths in this field. Most of the R&D funds raised by the emperor himself were obtained from sea transportation.
And how much the sea trade that goes back and forth twice a year can bring to the emperor is something that no one can fully glimpse.
Back a few years ago. The emperor handed over this calculation to the group of Beijing merchants he had set up. A clear line has now been drawn between land and sea merchants. Although there are negotiations on the goods, the maritime merchants have their own uniqueness in terms of the number of accounts, which also includes the reserve price of the imported goods.
Besides. The emperor even thought of selling tickets for the view.
But. I have to say that this lace business can indeed raise a large share of income for Emperor Nanzhao.
Ordinary paper tickets. Stamped with a kind of sea trade seal specially approved by the emperor, on the same day, an army was temporarily mobilized in the Kyoto garrison. Maintaining order, the few pieces of straw paper were soon replaced with shiny silver ingots.
The common people were originally afraid of the battle of the golden iron horse, but it was a very amazing thing to see these behemoth ships pass by the shore now, and return from the sea a few months later, not only are they also the soldiers of their own country, but they can also carry back many good things that cannot be found in their own country, and the scene is very exciting.
The time for temporary commercial houses to sell tickets is not long every year, after all, the location of the observation deck is limited, but the number of people who are willing and have spare money to buy tickets is increasing year by year.
Because in the process of buying tickets, there are some regulations that are stricter than the Spring Festival Wolf Tooth Siege Inspection, after identity verification, tickets are issued according to the results, and it is absolutely not allowed to buy on behalf of others, and you must come in person to buy tickets, so there is a long queue at the door of the commercial house early in the morning.
Regarding the measures to prevent the purchase of tickets on behalf of the company, in addition to some restrictions on the commercial banks, on the day of the sailing, the ticket inspection steps on the pier side are also very cumbersome.
However, for local residents of Kyoto, as long as they do not have crooked thoughts, follow the prescribed steps to purchase tickets with their household registration certificates, and then use their household registration certificates to pass the inspection on the day of shipping, the whole process of buying tickets is still very fast.
The event has been established for several years, and all the details have been added to the operation very skillfully.
After queuing in the crowd for a while, he saw that the queue had shortened by a long time, but Mo Ye found that the queue next door for tickets had shrunk faster, but there was no one in the long snake team here, which was a little strange.
Anyway, he was idle and had nothing to do at this time, Mo Ye was curious, and couldn't help but pat Ye Nuonuo's shoulder and ask, "What's going on with the team next to him?" β
Ye Nuonuo only glanced sideways at the place where Mo Ye pointed his finger, and then explained: "There are expensive tickets for sale there, and no one in our team will change their minds to buy them." β
Mo Ye then asked, "Is there any difference in this ticket?" β
Ye Nuonuo said slowly: "The dock is so big, but there are not many very good locations. There are two kinds of observation decks on the seaside, one is specially built for watching the sea, and the position is extremely high, and it is directly opposite the fleet, and the ticket price will be set high if you want to get the position there. However, if there is no fare restriction on such a location, if it is too crowded, I am afraid that something will happen. β
As soon as she heard her say this, Mo Ye really saw a standing sign at the ticket booth on the side, with the words 'sold out' written on it.
Ye Nono continued: "The kind of ticket we bought is the most common, and the viewing seat provided by this kind of ticket is actually the road for the porter of the dock to transport goods to the ship these days. Once all the goods have been shipped, these passages are left empty for people to stop and watch. After the launch ceremony, these locations will be restored to their original use. β
Mo Ye nodded when he heard this, and said admittedly: "This arrangement is also reasonable. β
"Then why doesn't the eldest lady buy a ticket with a good location? Aren't you going to bring Miss Wang here? Are you going to buy such a ticket to greet her? Xiaoyu, who had not spoken and seemed a little sullen, suddenly spoke out and muttered on the side.
Although the ticket sales firm temporarily set up by the imperial court has long listed an announcement that it is not allowed to purchase on behalf of others, if someone is willing to take a risk, knowing that it is not possible to violate the law, and not going to go after buying a ticket, he will give up the quota to others on the day of ticket inspection. It is still possible to find an opportunity to confuse people who are inconvenient to buy tickets.
The Miss Wang family in Xiaoyu's words actually refers to Princess Xinzhu.
Because the princess's surname is Wang, on occasions when there are many people outside the palace, Ye Nuonuo and his party use this title to refer to the princess. After spending a few days with Yenono, Mo Ye also accepted and became familiar with this special case.
In order to buy tickets for Princess Xinzhu, Ye Nuonuo rarely showed the prestige of the eldest lady and ruthlessly took away Xiaoyu's right to buy tickets. And this was originally an opportunity with a high failure rate, but in the hands of Ye Nono, she had a way to expand the success rate of TongguΓ².
It's just that Xiaoyu, who was robbed of the ticket purchase quota by the 'evil lord', will be more aggrieved. But she knew that she couldn't buy it. She also had to make a trip to the ticket seller. I have a pimple in my heart, and when I see everything related to tickets at the door of the ticket office, I feel that it is an eyesore.
As the time in line lengthened little by little, the depression in Xiaoyu's heart became thicker and thicker. It was at this time. She overheard Yeno and Mo Ye talking about the expensive ticket. The mind shifted, and the depression finally broke out.
And when I hear that I am a servant, I am actually for myself. Xiaoyu, who was already as close as a big sister, finally couldn't help complaining, and Ye Nuonuo also felt a little sorry for her in her heart.
But Ye Nuonuo will never return the ticket to Xiaoyu because of this.
Feigned anger and hammered Xiaoyu with a fist, and she forcibly asked: "Hey, Xiaoyu, you have to understand that expensive tickets don't just cost more money. There, we may meet powerful acquaintances, and if one of them is the Lord of the Six Divisions, then we will recognize her. Let's take her, in her capacity, don't we bring her to make trouble for ourselves? β
Xiao Yu pouted and didn't continue to complain, but she didn't say anything to convince her.
Ye Nuonuo hesitated for a moment, and persuaded in a slightly slower tone than before: "Besides, if Sister Zhu cares about that, why should she still be with us, she can naturally go there with infinite glory." β
Hearing her say this, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered something, patted her head vigorously, and shouted repeatedly: "I'm stupid, not only will I meet the powerful with a high ticket, but I may also have to see the emperor's majesty's imperial chariot, this is looking for death!" β
She was in a hurry, not only raised her voice, but also used to use an exaggerated tone to express her fierce feelings, but the people next to her were not familiar with her, and when they heard her words, they would only understand the literal meaning at the first time.
Soon after her words fell, several eyes swept around herβtoday, at least in the hearts of the people of Kyoto, the image of the Emperor Ningen has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Xiaoyu's immoral words were inappropriate, and soon attracted a group of dissatisfaction.
The cold knife kills people, and the eye knife is about to kill people's souls alive, Xiaoyu can't help but shrink her neck.
Even Ye Nuonuo felt the unkindness in the surrounding aura, and immediately shook his fist and hammered Xiaoyu again, and then deliberately raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty is magnificent, what a noble and precious thing to be able to see Your Majesty's side, how can you say... Cough... I don't know how to say such a thing. β
Her words were also exaggerated, but the residents of Kyoto who lined up bought her account. If you don't like someone to be scolded, it's probably the same as liking someone to be praised, which is a more reliable emotional logic.
Mo Ye didn't have much feeling for the eyes of the people around her, but she somewhat understood what Xiaoyu was wrong.
Not long after, on the way back after buying a ticket, after Ye Nuonuo's explanation, Mo Ye learned that in addition to the high-priced ticket, in addition to the position of the station when watching the ship, it is also equivalent to buying a bridge toll to the upper class.
Although in the crowd watching the celebration that day, even if there were officials, they would have come in casual clothes on purpose, but the power and vision of those high-ranking officials and magnates would not be weakened by the change of dress.
In addition, on the day of the celebration, His Majesty the Emperor will inevitably appear.
Although His Majesty would not stay long and would go back after issuing the order, the people could stay for most of the day until the ship was completely far away. However, unlike some officials who came in civilian clothes, the arrival of the emperor's majesty may really be some kind of plan to retain the virtuous.
Because he was directly noticed by His Majesty in the crowd of viewers, and opened the gate of the road to fame and took a shortcut, there are also precedents in several shipping ceremonies in previous years.
Because of these reasons and precedents, the group of buyers of expensive tickets. There are also some scholars from poor families, hoping to use an eye-catching position to bet on the eyes of His Majesty, such a group is mostly a little arrogant.
Some scholars who disdain this trip summed up this phenomenon in six words: fame and fame, one vote is easy, full of irony.
But the temptation of this 'one-vote for easy exchange' always makes some people despise it and try their best.
Regardless, Yennono's quest is simple and firm. She likes to join in the fun. She likes to huddle with a large group of people, shouting with everyone when she is on the ship. The feeling of a tsunami in the mountains is very exciting.
The most depressed is still Xiaoyu. Yenono's resoluteness. It also indicates that she will definitely not be able to go.
Family registration certificate or something. Although Ye Nuonuo can beg his father to find a relationship to get a temporary job, the change in the number of people cannot be changed, and the number of tickets is based on the number of tickets. It won't come out of nowhere.
Counterfeiting is even more impossible, the official seal may have the audacity to engrave privately, but in order to prevent counterfeiting, the vermilion ink used for the seal is specially made by the Ministry of Industry, and no one can imitate it.
It wasn't until later that Ye Nuonuo said pessimistically, maybe the princess wouldn't be able to leave the palace that day, then this ticket would still be Xiaoyu's, Xiaoyu heard a glimmer of hope, and then turned her smile.
Mo Ye was a little curious, and said secretly in his heart: Is the scene of the maritime celebration really so attractive?
Just now, she looked at the always depressed look on Xiao Yu's face, and almost had the intention of giving up the ticket to Xiao Yu.
Anyway, Ye Nuonuo invited her to buy tickets, and the title she hung was also the name of Yefu's maid. The official who issued the ticket recognized Ye Nuonuo, because Ye Zhengming had gone to the official's house for a visit, and the official remembered Doctor Ye's kindness, so he let go of the door and believed Ye Nuonuo's words.
In this way, if she wants to give up the ticket, it will be regarded as a fake maid's ticket to the real maid, and the transfer procedure is extremely easy.
Unlike Ye Nono, who likes to join in the fun, she prefers to be quiet and concentrate on her studies.
But then she saw that Ye Nuonuo was more interested in going to see the boat with her tomorrow, and Xiaoyu's mood gradually improved, so she dispelled this idea in her heart, not wanting Ye Nuonuo to be too disappointed.
After leaving the ticket sales agency, they didn't go far, and the three of them met each other, striding back and forth on the street, looking around at Ye Zhengming, who seemed to be looking for someone. Without asking anything, Mo Ye knew who this elder was looking for.
ran away early in the morning, and didn't come back after more than an hour of lunch, Ye Zhengming couldn't bear it anymore, and personally took his family out to find it.
The words of the knowing daughter Mo Ruomu's words were changed to the Ye family, and the word 'mother' had to be changed to the word 'father'!
Fortunately, Ye Zhengming came a little late, if Ye Nuonuo was dragged back by his father while pulling his ears and reprimanding, and was watched by the large group of people queuing up to buy tickets in the trading house, it is estimated that Ye Nuonuo may have to hide at home for a long time before he can have the face to go out.
However, although her face was barely saved, her sin of climbing the wall of the women's college a few days ago has not been completely eliminated, and now she has made a mistake again, and she was arrested by her angry father this time, and she will definitely have no good fruit to eat.
When Ye Zhengming left, he temporarily sent the family member he brought with him to Mo Ye and asked him to send her back. Ye Zhengming only pointed to a general direction, and the family Ding explained.
Seeing this, Mo Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sure enough, he is ready to come out to find someone, even the family members with him are so powerful, Sister Nuonuo, you can ask for more blessings.
β¦β¦
On the wide field in front of the north gate of the inner city of Kyoto, a motorcade arrived early in the morning.
The most obvious difference between the carriage system in this team and the ordinary driving is the height, and a small flag is inserted in the corner of the top of the carriage of the team. The small flag is made of black cloth and embroidered with white silk thread on it with a feathered swallow.
Kyoto businessmen and even some ordinary people know that the convoy with such a banner is an industry under the name of the Yan family.
The swallow emblem on the body and painted in blue paint is fixed and is present on every car, but the swallow flag is movable. There are also two kinds of small flags, the white swallow means that it is walking empty, but walking empty-car is something that the Yan family caravan rarely does.
The Yan family has a big business, and while the business is bigger, the division of labor is also very fine. There is freight coming, that is, there is freight back. When the incoming goods depart, the relevant information has been delivered to the destination in advance, and the goods to be carried back by the convoy are prepared in advance, so as to reduce the time and material consumption on the journey.
This kind of efficient and well-coordinated business rules have long been familiar to the Yan family as if they could be easily used.
Generally speaking. On the return trip of the Yan family's convoy, there may be one or two cars flying the white Yan flag. That may be because a few carriages on the way here were worn.
On the way back, in order to ensure the safety of the goods, several main persons in charge of the Yanjia Chamber of Commerce made a plan after discussion, allowing the car in question to hang the white Yan flag and return empty, which was included in the normal consumption.
The Yan family's technology such as the configuration, renovation and repair of cargo vehicles is strictly confidential, just like the powerful computing center set up by their family in the Entrepreneurship Association. It is a wealth of knowledge that is not passed on to the outside world.
In order to speed up work efficiency. That's why two kinds of small swallow flags are used to distinguish vehicles. After arriving at the destination, the carriage can be directly separated from the two factions without counting, unloading all the way, and putting it into storage all the way for repair.
But early this morning. Whether it is the guards on the castle tower looking down. Or the people who enter and leave the city at the gate of the city are idle-eyed. It can be found that in the convoy of the head of the Yan family, the number of white Yan flags is obviously more than that of black Yan flags. This means that most of the convoys are empty, but the inspection of such convoys out of the city gate is still a bit ridiculously slow.
The three carriages that set off from the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived at the north gate of Kyoto, and after they lined up at the tail of the Yan family's convoy, they did not move, and they were frozen in place for almost an hour.
If the fleet is fully loaded, the speed of the inspection may be slower. But there are obviously so many cars with white swallow flags on them, which makes the people waiting behind a little impatient.
After the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion stopped for a while, the driver in the carriage at the front finally felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he couldn't help jumping out of the car, ran to the front and walked around the Yan family's convoy for half a circle, and observed it a few times.
However, in doing so, he did not do anything to speed up the inspection of the convoy out of the city. It didn't take long for the coachman to return, he didn't find the reason why the Yan family's caravan was stranded, and the irritability in his eyes became heavier, and at the same time, he added a lot of helplessness.
The coachman walked back slowly, and did not return to his own car. He thinks that the car still can't go at this time anyway, and he will have to wait when he goes back, so why don't you ask the person in charge of this trip, maybe he can change the path out of the city?
So he ran to the carriage in the middle, and saw that the person in the driving position was still sitting unhurriedly, he pondered for a while, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and then asked respectfully: "Boss Gao, what do you think you should do now?" β
The "Gao Boss" that the coachman respectfully called refers to the person who sits upright, his real name is a 'hidden' word, and his actual identity is not a horseman, but one of the ten generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although the ranking of the ten generals is not strictly based on the order of individual ability, high potential is an exception. He ranks first among the ten generals, in addition to the first order, his wisdom and martial arts are combined, and he is also the strongest person among the ten generals.
Although the prime minister has not specified anything, in private, the ten families will take Gao Qian as the core of leadership, listen to the prime minister's orders in major matters, and in the implementation process, many details will be discussed with Gao Qian, waiting for him to make a decision. The other generals in the Prime Minister's Mansion and even the miscellaneous servants of the family also have some respect for the high potential in their hearts.
In the incident where the prime minister assigned Gao Qian to escort Cen Chi to the northwest to seek medical treatment, it can also be seen that Xiang Ye attaches great importance to Cen Chi and Gao Qian.
This trip will probably be the further you go, the more slim and dangerous it becomes. Xiang Yewei believes that Gao Qian can be qualified for this trip, and such a dispatch decision not only includes his trust in Gao Qian's loyalty, but also his trust in his ability. And to send others with him, I am afraid that I will be sent to death.
Gao Qian knew that this trip was dangerous and difficult, but this also stimulated his desire to serve Xiangye.
Hearing the coachman's inquiry, although the other party's voice was very respectful and deliberately disguised, Gao Qian could easily hear the impatience contained in his tone, and his reply was just three words calmly and simply: "What's the matter?" β
Seeing that Gao Qian was not in a hurry at all, but his three carriages were blocked at the gate of the city by the Yan family's convoy, and it was a situation that could be seen when he opened his eyes, and the coachman couldn't help but sigh softly.
He pointed to the long convoy ahead that couldn't be seen moving without looking carefully, and said slowly: "The little one went to the front just now to take a look, and found that although the Yan family's convoy was moving, it was walking too slowly. And the gap between the cars in front of them was obviously very cheerful, but the last five cars were like wheels burned on the ground, and they didn't go ahead at all! β
Gao Qian was silent for a moment, still with no expression on his face, but said in a tone full of determination: "It's impossible for us to cut in the queue, wait." β
The coachman seemed to have a plan in his heart, and when he heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and discussed: "This is not like the habit of the Yan family's merchants, could it be that something happened?" Boss Gao, let's go out of the city in a different direction! If the goods transported by the Yan family this time really have any problems, they will be stranded here, and we can't wait with them! βγ (To be continued......)
