The tomb was finally selected at the mouth of the south and west slope of Longya Mountain, where it is high, since you look at the blue water of the Yuanjiang River, you can also see the Longya City hidden deep in the belly of the mountain.

Han Qian thought that his father's wishes would not be willing to work for the funeral, and on the day of the burial, he was just like a dozen soldiers, carrying the coffin up the mountain and placing it in the tomb, and he didn't even allow Tian Cheng and Yang Qin to protect the coffin and go to the cemetery for burial.

Han Qian wanted to stay on the mountain to guard the tomb and mourn, so he built a few thatched huts and bamboo sheds next to the cemetery and lived in the mountains; Zhao Wuji and Kong Xirong took turns to rate the elite troops, guarding the left and right, in case the night would be unfavorable to Han Qian.

On February 10, it was the sixth day of Han Qian's return to Xuzhou, and it was expected that Han Qian's return to Xuzhou had just been sent to Yueyang, and Qingyang also decided to follow Jiang Xu first to Linjiang County, board the ship at Yuanjiang Bay, and embark on the journey to Yueyang to meet Yang Yuanpu, the king of Tan.

Compared with more than half a year ago, when Han Qian was ordered to go to Shu to welcome his relatives, Linjiang County at this moment is much more prosperous. The original city was only six or seven hundred paces square and had been filled, and at this time new streets, houses, and workshops were being built outside the city, and the passages along the river were paved with the residue of coal and stone burning, so that after tamping, it would not be muddy in rainy days.

After the completion of the embankment, the terrain of Linjiang County is wider than that of Qianyang City, and the land that can be used for cultivation and construction of workshops is nearly twice as much as that of the periphery of Qianyang City.

After the war of cutting the feudal domain, the focus of Xuzhou's development and construction fell on Linjiang County, which is located at the mouth of the Dawan River of the Yuanjiang River.

In addition to Linjiang County, along the Wuliuxi and Shahe rivers to the foot of Longya Mountain, no new villages are built and new ditches are dug in order to transform more land into productive watered land.

More and more merchant ships from the middle and lower reaches of the Yuan River also dock at the wharf at the mouth of the Shahe River, and a large number of materials are collected and distributed here every day.

Standing on the bow of the boat, it was hard to imagine that the land behind him was still a barren beach two or three years ago, with only three or four hundred families scattered in the simple and dilapidated village.

Qingyang looked up at the distant mountains, the thin clouds shrouded the mountains and turned green, and when she was leaving, she finally went to the mourning hall to worship Han Daoxun, but Han Qian didn't even return in front of the coffin, and she couldn't figure out whether this dog thief really wanted to live in Xuzhou for three years, or was he coy and forced her to give in.

However, no matter what, she can't stay in Xuzhou for a long time, she still has to go to Yueyang as soon as possible with Jiang Shu, and only after arriving in Yueyang, can she send someone to Shu to see her father, so that she can know her father's final attitude towards her "elopement to Chu State".

At this time, there was an earth-shaking chaos in both Liang and Chu, would my father have thought that this was a rare opportunity to expand outward?

Qing Yang stood at the bow of the boat at this moment, and really wanted to run up the mountain, grab Han Qian, the dog thief, by the placket, and ask him what he was thinking.

Jiang Shu also sighed in his heart and motioned for the boatman to raise the sails.

At this time, a canopy boat came from the downstream direction, and an old man and a young man were looking at the riverside from the bow of the boat.

The canopy hull is long and narrow, the square head is flat bottom, and the words "Wukou Village" are written with lacquer, it is the most common small boat in the tributaries of the Yuan River, but the old man standing at the bow of the boat wears a gray cloth robe, the crane hair is bright, looking at seventy or eighty years old, standing on the bow of the boat with a quinoa cane, the face is old and haggard, and the appearance of the wind and dust, it must have been a long way to hire a boat to come to Wukou Village.

The young one was a young girl, sitting in the bow of the boat, wearing a light blue skirt, quite simple, but her complexion was beautiful and bright.

Qingyang boasted of his excellent appearance, and when the two ships missed, he was slightly stunned when he saw this young woman, even if he boasted that her appearance was better, but he secretly felt that this woman was also a rare beauty in the world, and it revealed an indescribable tranquil temperament.

Seeing that there were three healthy servants sitting at the stern of the boat, Kong Wu was powerful, staring at the movements left and right with blazing eyes, and the sharp blades hanging from their waists, they must be the family soldiers of the old man and the female woman.

Qingyang is secretly strange, what kind of character haunts Xuzhou?

Jiang Shu was also stunned when he saw these two people, and shook his head at the old man and asked, "Dare to ask the old man if he is the king?" ”

"I, Wang Jixiong, live in the landscape, and I have not been in phase for many years, I don't know which adult this is, and I actually recognize Wang Jixiong?" The old man returned the salute.

"Jiang Shou is a small official of the Tan Palace, he used to work in the Inner Government Bureau, and he had seen Wang Xiang from afar, but he didn't expect Wang Xiang to come to Xuzhou, and he didn't dare to recognize him." Jiang Shu said, he didn't dare to confirm that it was Wang Jixiong, but Wang Jixiong at this time was very old and weak, compared with a few years ago, it can really be said that he was about to die.

The young woman stayed by the old man's side, and she was also courteous, but she was also curious to look at the bright girl beside Jiang Shu, the governor of Jinyun Tower, and thought to herself, could it be that she is the Qingyang County Lord who is known as the most beautiful in Shu?

Jiang Shu asked hesitantly and said, "Wang Xiang is here to see Han Qian?" ”

"Han Qian has already returned to Xuzhou?" Wang Jixiong expected Han Qian to find a way to leave Shudi, but when he saw that Han Qian was in Xuzhou at this time, he was also quite surprised, so he turned to look at the county lord of Qingyang and saluted, "Which one should be the county lord of Qingyang?" Wang Jixiong is polite here. ”

Qingyang still doesn't know the whole picture of the great changes in Jinling, but Wang Jixiong, the old father who has an indifferent relationship with Wang Wenqian, appeared in Xuzhou at this time, which also made her very confused, thinking that this old guy didn't know that Han Qian had returned to Xuzhou, did he come to Xuzhou to pay tribute to Han Daoxun? Looking at the young woman next to Wang Jixiong, when she heard the news of Han Qian's return to Xuzhou, her beautiful eyes were bright, but then she quickly gloomy, locked in sorrow, but she didn't know what her relationship was with Han Qian, the dog thief.

Qingyang was confused in his heart, and he still bowed to Wang Jixiong: "Qingyang has seen Wang Xiang." ”

"The county lord has traveled all the way into Chu, and he has also suffered a lot of hardship on the way, right?" Wang Jixiong asked.

Although Qingyang knew that compared with being abducted to Dachu, she took the initiative to elope to Dachu, which would be the most beneficial to her situation in Tanwangfu and Dachu in the future, but the evil anger in her heart could not be eliminated.

However, Wang Jixiong asked this question, and Qingyang could only grit his back molars and smiled: "Fortunately, Lord Han has supported him all the way, which is not hard." ”

Seeing the young woman beside Wang Jixiong with a look of disbelief, Qingyang couldn't wait to grab two blows on this woman's face, and hated and thought to himself: Could it be that I am crying and kneeling now to beg to return to Shu, so that you are happy?

Wang Jixiong didn't care about the truth of the words of the county lord of Qingyang, and explained the reason why he came to Xuzhou in front of Jiang Xu:

"Daoxun is dedicated to the country and the people, but he was tortured, and his reputation was ruined by the edict, I am an old man in the mountains and fields, and I can't do anything else, but I can only trek through mountains and rivers to pay my respects."

Jiang Xu knew that Wang Jixiong had been living in seclusion in the countryside of Runzhou after his appointment, and he thought that he had rushed over from Runzhou, and it was no wonder that he was so haggard and old.

He glanced at the county lord of Qingyang hesitantly, he thought that Wang Jixiong personally came to Xuzhou to pay his respects, or he could change Han Qian's attitude.

In addition, Tan Wangfu and Xinwangfu are currently temporarily united, but after the capture of Jinling, the first of the emperor's throne is still undecided, Wang Wenqian is the first adviser under King Xin, King Xin led his troops to occupy Guangling City, Wang Wenqian crossed the river to the north to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, although Wang Jixiong and his son did not have a good relationship, but Jiang Shu also had to guard against Wang Jixiong after seeing Han Qian, there were other purposes.

Jiang Yu glanced at the county lord of Qingyang hesitantly.

Although Qingyang didn't know the whole picture of the drastic changes in Jinling, the relationship between Wang Jixiong, Wang Wenqian and King Xin, she was clear in her heart, she thought in her heart that Han Qian insisted on staying in Xuzhou to serve the mourning and filial piety.

"Wang Xiang came to hang on to Mr. Han, and he had to invite Wang Xiang to Yueyang as a guest. Lord Jiang, maybe we can stay for two more days and leave with Wang Xiang when the time comes? The county lord of Qingyang looked at Jiang Yu and asked.

"Jiang was ordered by the county lord." Jiang Shou said as he got off the donkey, and immediately instructed the boatmen to turn the sails and follow Wang Jixiong's boat back to the river port to land.

Although Han Daoxun's cemetery is located between Longya City and Linjiang County, there is no way to climb the mountain from Shahe, so they have to change carriages and rush to Longya City first.

No matter how high Wang Jixiong's reputation is, but the disaster of Jinling began with Wang Wenqian, which is a well-known fact in Longya City.

Wang Jixiong's body was old and weak, and he brought Queen Sun Jun to the door, and it was inconvenient for everyone in Longya City to turn them away, and their attitude was also very cold, so they just arranged for their master and servant and others to stay in another courtyard temporarily, and sent someone up the mountain to inform Han Qian.

Qingyang was very confused, and pulled Jiang Shu aside alone to ask about the details.

"When Shen He, the young eunuch of the Inner Serving Province, went to Tanzhou in August last year to announce the decree, he was already poisoned,"

Jiang Yu can see that the county lord of Qingyang must have the intention of staying in Chu in the past two days, so it is a matter of time before she and His Royal Highness get married, and there is no need to hide some things from her.

"At that time, Lord Han and His Royal Highness judged that the palace was under the control of the Anning Palace, and they didn't want to startle the snake, so they concealed it, and Lord Han didn't know the details at that time......

"Han Do-hoon didn't know about it at the time?" Qingyang asked suspiciously.

"Lord Han really doesn't know, Lord Han and His Royal Highness also deliberately concealed Lord Han, I am afraid that Lord Han is too concerned about the safety of the community, and may not take care of the interests of Tanzhou," Jiang Shu said, "After Lord Han was transferred to Jinling to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, Wang Wenqian secretly instigated people to block the street and shout grievances against Lord Han, exposing the matter. After that, Wang Wenqian rushed to Qiuhu Mountain, saw the concubine and the Marquis of Xinchang, issued a message, and stimulated the master of Anning Palace, and finally Lord Han was brutally punished. Therefore, the death of Master Han has something to do with Wang Wenqian, and it is no wonder that Wang Xiang will not be welcomed when he comes. ”

"Han Daoxun is too stupid, after he found out about it, why didn't he think about it in the long run, and rushed into the palace in such a hurry to startle the snake?" Qingyang judged that Han Daoxun would not be evasive, and subconsciously felt that Han Daoxun was a little stupid regardless of Feng Yi and Zhao Wuji's obstruction, but seeing the embarrassment on Jiang Xu's face, he turned his mind and asked, "Did Han Daoxun have long guessed that Wang Wenqian was making trouble behind his back, and he also expected that Wang Wenqian would inevitably lift the lid, so he could only fight to the death at that time?" ”

"Master Han has been tortured to death, but no one knows what he thought at the time. Maybe it may not be concluded that it was Wang Wenqian at that time, but there was a street blockade, and the drastic changes in Jinling could not be reversed, which was also expected by Lord Han and His Royal Highness, but Lord Han chose not to stay out of the matter after all. Jiang Shu said with a light sigh.

"That's interesting!" Qingyang couldn't help but laugh.

Although it was Wang Wenqian who went to Qiuhu Mountain to persuade the concubine and Xinchang Hou Li Pu to issue a letter of rebellion together, and they had already decided to give up Han Daoxun by doing so, but everyone was their own master, Han Qian could resent the concubine and Xinchang Hou Li Pu for being ruthless to her father, but Wang Wenqian could not provoke Wang Wenqian to be resourceful and fickle.

However, Wang Wenqian instigated others to block Han Daoxun's street, but he really calculated Han Daoxun with the situation of death, and he also expected that Han Daoxun would inevitably step into the middle of the road for the sake of the society and the people.

It is impossible for Han Qian not to understand the strangeness in this, so tomorrow Wang Jixiong and his granddaughter, Wang Wenqian's queen Jun, will go up the mountain to worship Han Daoxun, and it will be fun to meet Han Qian......
