Businessmen pursue profits, this is the eternal truth, especially a big traitor like Wang Dengku, in their hearts there is no national righteousness at all, some are just interests.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been declining, but more than 200 years of heritage is there, the reason why Wang Dengku chose to do business with the Jurchens is mainly driven by interests, asking him to blatantly stand up and betray the Ming Dynasty, he has not yet had the courage.

So when he understood Ye Xun's intentions, he returned to the big tent where he was imprisoned and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to follow Ye Xun's intentions first, and talk about it later.

Wang Dengku has reason to believe that with the trade routes accumulated by his Wang family for decades, how can Ye Xun easily poach them.

After thinking about it, Wang Dengku waited for Ye Xun to find him again, in his mind, now Ye Xun begged him, and with the hole cards in his hand, his confidence was naturally hard.

It's a pity that Ye Xun doesn't have the heart to deal with him now, and the next day he hurried, although Ye Xun didn't give any orders, the team still invisibly sped up.

In fact, with Ye Xun's current status in the hearts of Liaodong officials, it is not impossible for them to send a team of men and horses to protect them.

But Ye Xun didn't take this gang of horse bandits to heart, all he was thinking about now was how to have a good relationship with the emperor and those officials at all levels in the court after entering Beijing.

For Emperor Wanli, he must use all his skills to shoot the horse, and make the Wanli Emperor comfortable, so that he can return to Liaodong and truly grasp the power of Liaodong.

It's different in terms of treating courtiers, Ye Xun's identity is a eunuch, no matter how you please those courtiers, they won't really treat Ye Xun as their own, so it's better to keep your distance.

When he was sitting in the galloping carriage and closing his eyes to recuperate, Ye Xun suddenly remembered a person in his mind.

What is Wei Zhongxian doing now?

I remember that Wei Zhongxian was not this name when he first entered the palace, it seemed to be called Li Jinzhong, and he was very unsatisfactory at the beginning, he relied on the great eunuch Wei Dynasty, and was introduced by the Wei Dynasty to the chief eunuch Wang Yue, and finally took the nurse of the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao, and then flew to Huang Tengda.

In other words, Ye Xun is now in Beijing, and Wei Zhongxian is not bullshit.

Then do you want to pull Wei Zhongxian, the future power eunuch, at this time?

From the beginning, Ye Xun did not plan to live in the capital of Daming for a long time, but he must have a spokesperson in the capital, and Ye Xun's identity as a eunuch and a local eunuch stationed in the city is destined not to have any courtiers take the initiative to take refuge.

Therefore, the spokesperson that Ye Xun wants must come from the palace.

"Report! Xiang Baihu rushed back."

The sound of the guard's report interrupted Ye Xun's contemplation, and when he heard that it was Xiang Biao who had returned, he hurriedly ordered Xiang Biao to come forward and reply, and at the same time ordered the team to stop and rest in place.

After getting off the carriage, the Hua sisters quickly set up tables and chairs under the carriage, and made a pot of tea for Ye Xun.

Ye Xun is actually not such a troublesome person, but the young ladies consciously guard the duties of the maids, and never rely on Ye Xun's favor to be arrogant, which also makes Ye Xun like the young ladies even more.

There was not much time, and Xiang Biao, who was haggard, strode in front of Ye Xun, knelt down on one knee and performed a standard military salute before saying: "See father-in-law, Xiang Biao is back to life"

Ye Xun nodded and said, "Hurry up, you haven't slept all night, have you?" Let's talk about things first, and then hurry to sleep on the grain and grass cart in the back."

"Father-in-law Xie, his subordinates are not tired, according to his father-in-law's instructions, his subordinates visited the old acquaintances on the nearby road overnight, and got the news that someone has offered a thousand taels of gold to ask for the father-in-law's head, and it is said that the biggest bandit in western Liaoning, Altan, has led people to ambush on the road we must pass into Beijing this time."

Hearing that someone offered a thousand taels of gold for his head, Ye Xun couldn't help but smile and touched his head, and said, "I look down on Lao Tzu too much, it's only one thousand taels, hehe!" If you don't say anything, you have to pay 10,000 taels, right? ”

Seeing that Ye Xun didn't take it too seriously, Xiang Biao hurriedly said: "Father-in-law must not take it lightly, it is said that there are more than 1,000 horse bandits under Altan, these bandits kill people like hemp coming and going like the wind, and the officers and soldiers can't do anything about them, now we only have more than 200 people, and there is no strong city to rely on, so we can't be careless!" ”

Thinking about it, Ye Xun himself has nothing to be afraid of, but there are still a lot of people around him, especially these two little girls, if something goes wrong, it will be regretted for life.

After a moment's silence, he said, "Can you find their lair?" ”

Hearing Ye Xun's question, Xiang Biao couldn't help but look embarrassed, and was about to speak, but saw Ye Xun pat his head.

"This problem is too retarded, if you can let others know about the nest, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will be destroyed long ago, okay, you go to the back to rest first, and we will find a way while walking"

Xiang Biao was moved in his heart, Ye Gong wanted to be ahead of him in everything, and following such a Shangguan could really be said to have accumulated virtue in his previous life.

Ye Xun didn't rest for a while, so he ordered the team to set off again, although Xiang Biao didn't come back with any good news, Ye Xun couldn't wait any longer.

With Ye Xun's order, the team accelerated again, but this time it was obvious that they couldn't sleep in the wilderness, and Ye Xun also ordered Liang Zhen to put away the honor guard and divide the people into two teams, one in front of the other, echoing and leaving.

In fact, Ye Xun knows very well that since they have been targeted, no matter how they hide their tracks, they will be tracked down by someone with a heart.

Unless Ye Xun is willing to abandon everyone, he can't be silent at all, but Ye Xun also has the advantage of doing this, that is, he can avoid some officials who are waiting to be slapped by the horse.

After the team passed through Shenyang, they did not stop at all, and rushed to Jinzhou in only one day, and after Jinzhou was the third customs, Ye Xun ordered the team to rest in Jinzhou for one night.

At this time, Tieling and Kaiyuan were not lost, and Shenyang had Xiong Tingbi personally in charge, which could be regarded as impregnable, so Jinzhou was not as important as in history, and there were not many garrisons, only one guerrilla led 3,000 people to guard here.

Because Ye Xun hid his whereabouts, and the team entered the city in batches, when he entered the city, Liang Zhen bought off the officers guarding the gate again, so the guerrilla general guarding the city didn't know that the famous Ye Gonggong lived under his nose.

After dinner, Ye Xun once again ordered someone to bring Wang Dengku over.

Wang Dengku used to think that he was a person who could calm down, but for some reason, in front of Ye Xun, all his self-confidence seemed to be gone, he originally thought that Ye Xun was greedy for money, and he asked for him, so he would be polite to him, but when he saw Ye Xun, he knew that his previous thoughts were wrong, and this dead eunuch was not a normal person at all.

Ye Xun didn't say anything immediately after Wang Dengku came in, but just looked at him quietly, until Wang Dengku didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and then said: "Along the way, you have tried to buy the people who are guarding you more than once, in fact, you don't have to, I'll let you go now, if you can escape from my pursuit, I didn't say anything before, if I get caught, I will abolish your legs, and at the same time fly to Shanxi, copy your home, and destroy your clan."

Ye Xun's words could be regarded as a big event when the sky fell to others, but Ye Xun's tone was surprisingly calm, as if he was saying something inconsequential.

After Ye Xun finished speaking, the cold sweat on Wang Dengku's head instantly broke out...
