Chapter 237: On the Road
According to the normal itinerary, Ye Xun and his entourage should have arrived in Datong at this time, because the actual distance between the capital and Datong is not very far.
But for some reason, in a place called Changle more than 100 miles away from Datong, Ye Xun and his party suddenly stopped.
It's not that Ye Xun doesn't want to go, but he can't go, according to the news sent back by the spies in Datong, someone planted a mine on his way, but it is impossible to find out where it is buried.
This is a bit embarrassing, although there are a lot of roads to Datong, but first, it is far away, and secondly, Ye Xun can't always know a little danger and take a detour, right? In that case, it would be better to go straight home!
This place is not far from the Great Wall, the wind outside the plug is extremely strong, although there is the Great Wall to block, but still mercilessly blows into the Central Plains, adding a little coldness to the winter of the Central Plains.
Ye Xun did not live in the post station of the official mansion, but ordered his subordinates to charter an inn, because although the post station was free, the treatment of ordinary soldiers was much worse, and on such a cold day, Ye Xun didn't want his subordinates to suffer with him.
And the most important point is that the post house is full of past officials, and Ye Xun doesn't want to have any interaction with them, so he simply hides away.
The cold wind was howling outside, but the interior was warm like spring, several huge braziers were placed in the four corners of the room, and I don't know how the room was designed, although I could feel the heat, but I was not stuffy at all, and I couldn't smell the smell of carbon fire.
Ye Xun stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously still worried about the landmines.
If it was just him, then everything would not be a problem, and now there are five hundred more men and three girls, so he can't be careless.
Through the intelligence fed back by the spies, the person who planted the mine was likely to be Fan Yongdou and several other major merchants, because the news came back from Liang Guest, one of the seven major merchants.
But Ye Xun has a different opinion, first of all, the so-called Eight Emperors of the Manchu Dynasty were named by later generations for these eight traitors, and people at this time did not have this understanding, and even they themselves did not feel that they had done anything wrong.
Therefore, although Ye Xun copied Wang Dengku's house, he has not yet revealed his intention to deal with several other families, and it stands to reason that he will not take the initiative to take action against Ye Xun, unless someone is behind this matter.
There are many people who want Ye Xun's life, and it is not impossible for someone to manipulate this matter behind the scenes, but the person Ye Xun is more inclined to do this is the White Lotus Sect.
Since Xu Hongru was short-lived in the capital, the White Lotus Sect has evaporated like the world, and there has been no news.
Ye Xun knew that Red Sleeves might be able to find someone from the White Lotus Sect, but Ye Xun didn't want her to get involved in anything related to the White Lotus Sect.
Since a woman chooses to follow a person with physical problems like herself, then Ye Xun must not let her suffer the slightest grievance, this is the least a man should do.
Lay mines!
Ye Xun had to admit that this was a good way, unless he found a mine and released people, he would not be able to find out where the mine was buried.
has been living for two days, Ye Xun has to take action, because it is impossible for him to live here indefinitely.
It seems that he is the only one step ahead.
As soon as this idea was decided, I heard the voice of the guard outside the door: "Father-in-law, a Tibetan monk named Shaerhu Tuketu outside the door asks to see you."
Listening to the guard's report, Ye Xun frowned slightly, he remembered very well that night, after the two monks were scared away by Red Sleeves with poison, he had told him about the three major demon monks in the Western Regions, and this Shaerhu Tuketu was the head of the three demon monks.
What is this guy doing here, is he trying to find a place for his junior brother?
Some people have to face sooner or later, Ye Xun instructed the guards to invite Shaerhu Tuketu to the living room of the inn, and was just about to go out, but saw the red sleeves come out of the room.
Ye Xun looked at the red sleeves and smiled slightly: "I don't need you to make a move, no monk can scare me."
Red Sleeves said: "He should have come to you for an antidote, I think you might as well take advantage of him"
Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask how to use it, so he listened to Red Sleeves and continued: "According to our news, this demon monk has already arrived at Lin Dan Khan, and I don't know what method he used, he just changed the Yellow Sect believed in by the Chahar Department to the Red Sect, so he is very prestigious in the Chahar Department, if you want to find out who is doing business with Mongolia or the Jurchens, he will definitely be able to help you find out."
It turns out that there is such a thing.
Last time, Ezhe went to the capital to find Ye Xun for help, Ye Xun asked him to wait for news, but the news of the grassland had not yet arrived, but he first waited for the news that Nurhachi had hung up.
Nurhachi was dead, and the Jurchen army definitely had no intention of fighting again, so Ezhe said goodbye and returned to the grassland, but he never told Ye Xun anything about the Red Sect and the Yellow Sect.
Ye Xun knows that the influence of religion in the Mongolian tribes is still slightly worse, but it is different in Tibet, which is all ****, and this Shaerhu Tuketu appeared in the Mongolian steppe, and it is very likely that he came with some kind of political purpose.
If that's the case, this demon monk really can't afford to take it lightly.
Stretched out his hand to take the small porcelain vase handed to him by Red Sleeves, and said with a smile: "I suddenly found that I really found a treasure to have you by my side."
The red sleeves blushed, and Ye Xun had a charming look.
Shaerhu Tuketu did come for the antidote, and when he knew that his junior brother was poisoned, he didn't take it too seriously, because he was also very proficient in poison, but when he saw the symptoms of his junior brother, he immediately knew that he had met a master.
Because he had bragged to Huang Taiji that it was easy to kill Ye Xun, but because of his father's death, Huang Taiji hurried back to Hetuara without waiting for the result.
Of course, Huang Taiji couldn't leave empty-handed, but he also gave Shaerhutuktu face, and did not carry out a three-light policy on Chahanhot, but only took away all his wealth and children.
Shalhutuktu himself felt that he had saved the Chahar tribe, but he did not want the herdsmen to have children as their greatest hope, so instead of being grateful to him, he began to resist his Red Sect and finally succeeded in driving him out of the Chahar tribe.
If it weren't for the sake of saving his junior brother, he would either go to Jianzhou now, or he would have to return to the Western Regions.
After seeing Ye Xun calmly walking out of it, Shaerhu Tuketu finally knew how big the cowhide was before.
Between masters, you don't necessarily have to fight together to distinguish the high and low, gestures, or a look, can reflect the true strength of this person.
stood up and clasped his palms together, bowed and said, "Master Ye, it's been a long time."
Ye Xun looked Shaerhu Tuketu up and down a few times, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he threw the antidote over, and said with a smile: "You are here for this, right?" If you still feel unconvinced, you can come to me at any time, and I will definitely accompany you."
Shaerhu Tuketu looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and said in disbelief: "Master Ye Shi is really willing to give me the antidote?" What are the conditions? ”
Ye Xun still had that warm smile on his face, and said: "I have no grievances with the master, and I want to come to the master is also provoked by others, so I want to make the master a friend, so I don't know if the master is willing?" ”...
