Chapter 243: Chaos in Yinzhou
On the first day of coming to Longzhou, the people who were waiting had not yet come, but the people who didn't want to see saw it first. Zhao Yougong was not happy at all, before he came, he was still full of pride in grabbing the war horse, and since he saw the black-robed man, his heart was like pouring cold water.
At this lunch, Zhao Yougong ate very slowly, or his mind was not on eating at all. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a carriage stopped in front of the drunken building, the curtain was lifted, and a slender woman with green yarn came down from the car. As soon as she got out of the carriage, the woman walked straight into the drunken country building, stood at the door, and looked towards the second floor, and there was a little more smile on her delicate little face.
The woman's identity seems to be very simple, even Zhou Dongpu, the owner of the drunken township building, ran out to greet him in person, but the woman looked a little faint, waved her hand, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhou, don't be troublesome, the slave family still has to see someone, you go get busy first." β
"Okay, lady is at her own convenience, if there is anything, let people know!"
After Zhou Dongpu retreated, the cuisha woman slowly went up to the second floor with a long skirt, and there were many guests on the second floor at this time, but she went straight to Zhao Yougong's table. Pinching a brocade handkerchief in her hand, the woman bowed slightly, "Childe, I'm sorry, the maid came a little late." β
"Stop standing, sit down and talk!" Zhao Yougong also knows Zhilan, the most trusted big girl around Zhu Niangzi, it is difficult for him to know him or not. When I was in the capital before, I met a few times, but I didn't feel anything, but now I see each other, but I have a sense of intimacy, maybe this is the love house and Wu.
Zhilan nodded, and looked at the handsome boy in her right hand without a trace, this is that Yelu Nanxian. This time I came to Longzhou, on behalf of the lady. She can't afford to lose her mother's face. Pulled down his chair. Zhilan sat down generously in the vacant seat. It's just a body, but he leaned towards Zhao Yougong intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced at the corner of his eye, which was a little more provocative.
Why is there more provocation in Zhilan's eyes, Xiao Zhiyun naturally understands, is this to give her a disadvantage? What a smart woman, with a lively mind and generosity. A servant girl is already like this, so isn't Zhu Lian even more intoxicating?
Even if Xiao Zhiyun is a little unhappy in her heart, it is impossible to express her anger, fighting with a girl, but she seems to be a little angry. But she had a way, her chin was picked, and Xiao Ana, who had long been a little dissatisfied, deliberately touched the chair next to her, "Hey, this son is not sitting on you." β
"Oh? I can't sit still, so you can? Besides. This son is empty, why waste it? β
Zhao Xiaojunwang's face was a little dark. It's really a headache, Zhilan just came, she had to compete, if she waited for Zhu Niangzi to really marry, then these two women still know what kind of fight they would become.
"Don't say a word, this son still has business, Zhilan, tell me carefully, why did you come so late?" Zhao Yougong really wants to know, according to common sense, from Weirong City to Longzhou, it is only an hour's journey, but Zhilan has walked for three hours, and it is too slow to be outrageously. Something must have happened during this period, if it wasn't for something important, Zhilan would never delay.
Zhilan frowned, seemed to hesitate, looked left and right, and whispered, "Childe, the servant met Lord Cheshire on the road." β
"Huh?" Zhao Yougong was surprised, Longzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the business of Hengwangfu is mostly in Jiangnan and Shandong, why did Chai Keyan come to Longzhou?
"Have you asked? What is she doing in Longzhou? β
Zhilan is also a little afraid of Chai Keyan, since Zhu Niangzi took charge of the family, in this Jiangnan shopping mall, Zhu Niangzi has not been less secretly fighting with Cheshire, although there are more wins and fewer losses, but the Cheshire Lord's difficult entanglement is still terrifying. Now seeing Zhao Yougong's worried face, she explained loudly, "Childe doesn't need to worry too much, the maid has inquired, and the county lord is here, it seems that he is coming for the furs in Youzhou." β
"Youzhou fur?" Zhao Yougong did know that last year there was a great battle between the Western Xia and the Uighurs outside the Yumen Pass in Shazhou, and the Uighur coalition was divided into two parts by Li Bingzuo with cavalry, and the Uighur coalition army was defeated. Li Bingzuo took the opportunity to cross the Shule River in one breath and marched west for hundreds of miles, plundering countless cattle and sheep.
A large number of cattle and sheep are a lot of wealth, but there is no shortage of livestock in Western Xia, so a minister gave Li Qianshun an idea. The Tangut people slaughtered the cattle and sheep, ate the meat themselves, and sent the furs to Youzhou for sale. There is no shortage of furs in Western Xia, but there is a shortage in the Great Song Dynasty, and these furs can definitely be sold at a good price when they enter the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Yougong was still thinking about it, and Zhilan continued, "The county lord is really shrewd, recently the lady has been busy with the silk business in Suzhou, and she has no time to take care of it. If we can, we can take the furs. β
"Hehe, don't say you want it, my son wants it too!" Zhao Yougong naturally wants these furs, and with these furs, it is not more convenient to get some soft armor or something, but he Zhao really doesn't have so much spare money. Of course, you can use it to rob it, the problem is that Youzhou is heavily defended, don't grab the fur when the fur is not snatched, and then put yourself in. After drinking saliva, I had a little more doubts in my heart, and I couldn't help asking, "Girl, you just said that the lady is going to be busy with the silk business in Suzhou?" What's going on, haven't things over there been stabilized a long time ago? β
"Gongzi doesn't know, this year, there is a civil unrest in Muzhou, there is a bandit named Fang La, leading people Qingxi, Pujiang, Yiwu, Xiaoshan, within two months, the power swept Muzhou, Quzhou, Yuezhou three states, even Hangzhou is in danger. Most of the silk and cloth in our south pass through Hangzhou, and now the chaotic party is attacking Hangzhou, and the freight cannot come up, so the lady wants to transport it to the capital by sea to Suzhou. β
"Fang La occupied Xiaoshan?" Zhao Yougong held a wine glass, full of surprise, Xiaoshan is too close to Hangzhou, plus Xiaoshan is high, occupying this place, it is a matter of time before Hangzhou is taken.
"Yes, when I first heard the news, the lady didn't believe it, but I heard the lady say that it seems that there is a man named Shi Bao under Fang La, who is the master of Haijiaomen, he led five hundred people to sneak into Xiaoshan at night, and it only took two hours to defeat the entire Xiaoshan."
"Hehe, if Hangzhou is lost, our manager Zhu will be sad!" Zhao Yougong is a little gloating, Jiangnan is in chaos, it's good. For Da Song. Gangnam is the richest place. Jiangnan is in chaos. It is estimated that Zhao Ji doesn't have the heart to care about Tongzhou.
Zhilan covered her small mouth, smiled coquettishly, put her hand to her mouth, and exhaled like a lando, "What Childe said is that those chaotic parties seem to be under the banner of exterminating 'pig graves'." β
As soon as Zhilan said with a small mouth, Xiao Zhihan, who had been silent for a long time, smiled and said, "Pig digging graves? What is this nickname? β
"Haha. You don't know this, right, digging people's ancestral graves all day long, isn't it very appropriate to call pigs digging graves? Speaking of Zhu Mian, Zhao Yougong was a little unhappy, when he was in Meili Town, he Zhao Xiaojun Wang also did the matter of digging people's ancestral graves.
After a meal, Zhilan arranged a few rooms in the guest room on the third floor, and treated a man so respectfully, although Zhou Dongpu didn't say it on his face, he had already noticed it in his heart.
Night. The two people who went to keep an eye also returned to the inn and entered the back of the house. They recounted the details of the stalking.
Zhao Yougong frowned calmly and pondered carefully, one went to Quping Village, and the other went to Shendui Station. Hell, what the hell does Listen to Yuge want to do?
"Have you inquired? What are the identities of those two? β
"I have inquired, one is the Qiang Huerle, and the other is Tuoba Man of Quping Village."
"Tuobaman?" Hearing this name, Zhao Yougong slapped his forehead, no wonder he looked a little familiar with that person at that time, wasn't he the middle-aged uncle who followed Tuoba Qingyun back then? Tuoba Man is an old man of the Quping Zhai Dangxiang clan and has a very high prestige, how can he be the one who listens to the Yuge?
At this time, Zhao Yougong's heart has already been raised, Tuoba Man, Huerle, and the black-robed people, there must be some conspiracy brewing in this.
Just after the time, Yang Zaixing also returned to Zuixianglou, and at the same time brought news from Yinzhou. In the past month, Yinzhou Xiong Guangbi has made great moves, and the soldiers have come out frequently, and he has the posture of winning the Shendui Station in one fell swoop. Just six days ago, 2,000 soldiers from Yinzhou captured Tieyeling on the left side of Shendui Station. Tieyeling lives on top of the Shenduiyi cottage, and if the Yinzhou soldiers capture it from Tieyeling, it will be really difficult to resist. As soon as the Shendui Station is broken, then it will be the turn of Quping Village, if this Qiang and Dangxiang people are broken, they will flow to the Hongzhou area, do you want to listen to Yuge want to subdue the people of Shendui Station and Quping Village in one fell swoop?
The black-robed people have good ideas, but the real owners of Quping Village are Tuoba Xuan and Tuoba Qingyun, so if you want to do this, Tuoba Xuan and Tuoba Qingyun will become stumbling blocks.
In fact, Zhao Yougong also didn't want to listen to the rain pavilion's power to extend to the Yinzhou area, listen to the rain pavilion and Tuoba Xuan, if he chose one, Zhao Yougong would rather face Tuoba Xuan. If you want to sabotage Tingyu Pavilion's plan, the best way is to sue SΓΉ Tuoba Qingyun, but Zhao Yougong still understands the truth of catching traitors and catching thieves and taking stolen goods.
Let Yang Zaixing come over and whisper a few words, Yang Zaixing nodded, and then withdrew from the guest room.
Xiao Zhiyun was not interested in these messy things, and it was not early, so she led Ana back to the room to rest, Zhao Yougong was also a little tired, but Zhilan was still hesitant and didn't seem to want to leave.
"Girl, do you have anything else?"
Hearing Zhao Yougong's question, Zhilan ran to the back of the door, looked out, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, she reflexively waved mysteriously. Zhao Yougong was so curious that he could only sit on the stool again and said with a wry smile, "Say, what's still mysterious?" β
"Childe, when you came, the lady ordered you to find a way to smuggle the second lady out of Beijing!"
"What's going on? The second lady is in trouble? β
It's no wonder that Zhao Yougong thinks so, although Qingdai's girl is Zhu Lian's sister, her temperament doesn't follow her at all, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her personality is very jumpy. It's not unusual to say that she's in trouble.
"The son thought about it, not long ago, the clan elders were talking about the marriage between the second lady and His Royal Highness King Yun, and the lady was afraid that it would really happen, so she asked you to take the second lady out of Beijing."
After listening to it, Zhao Yougong also understood what Zhu Lian meant, and the reason why he was in a hurry to get Qingdai out of Beijing was probably because he was afraid that once he Zhao raised troops in the Central Plains in the future, the two sisters would not be able to meet each other. Hey, it's really bitter Zhu Lian.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange this."
"Hmm" Zhilan nodded, pouting, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Zhao Yougong for a while. Zhao Xiaojunwang is not a saint, looking at the eyes of this beautiful girl, I thought that Zhu Niangzi told her to sleep, and she wanted to touch Zhilan's little hand, who would have thought that she actually stood up and touched it in her arms, and after a while, she found a brand new pair of scissors.
Seeing this pair of scissors, Zhao Yougong's eyelids jumped, and he said in a clever and urgent voice, "Girl, what are you doing, don't think about it." β
"Poof" Zhilan covered her mouth and smiled, how could she look like she was going to commit suicide, she blinked her beautiful eyes, and handed the scissors in both hands to Zhao Yougong, "Childe, where do you want to go, this is what the lady asked the maid to give to you." β
Zhilan dropped a pair of scissors and twisted her waist and ran out, but Zhao Xiaojunwang stared at the scissors, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
Zhu Niangzi gave him scissors definitely not to let him be a tailor, this is to warn him Zhao someone, if Zhu Niangzi is unhappy, this scissors can make him a eunuch. (To be continued......)
