Chapter 380: All the Way North (Page 1/1)

Zhong Qinghan sighed, looked at Su Ziheng and said, "Ziheng, you know that I have reported the news of our big wedding to the Zongren Mansion, and they will come at any time to preside over the big wedding for us, calculate the time, and they will come at the end of the year at the latest." With only two months to go until the end of the year, will you be able to make it back? ”

Su Ziheng thought about it, although it took Ji Xiaohan more than three months to come all the way from Meng Yuan, it was because there were constantly people chasing and killing on the road, and she had to hide everywhere to take so long.

As far as he is concerned, if the journey is smooth, it will only take half a month to rush from Donghai Mansion to Dadu, and when the time comes, he will directly use the Shenlong Battleship to rescue Xiaoxiao, so that he should be able to rush back smoothly in two months.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "There shouldn't be any problem, as long as you plan it, there should be enough time." ”

Zhong Qinghan said: "Okay, as long as you can come back smoothly and don't delay our wedding, I don't have any opinion, it depends on whether you can convince Wan'er." ”

Hearing that Zhong Qinghan did not object to going to Mengyuan, Su Ziheng let go of more than half of his heart, compared to Zhong Qinghan, Zhao Wan'er was easier to convince. The main reason is that Zhong Gang and his wife were martyred when Xining City was broken, and Su Ziheng was worried that Zhong Qinghan had a very strong hatred for Meng Yuan, and would anger Ji Xiaoxiao and not let himself save her.

The two pushed open the door of Zhao Wan'er's office, and then heard Zhong Qinghan continue: "Ziheng, although I promised you to go to Mengyuan, but you also have a heavy responsibility, not only to rescue your sweetheart, but also to find out more about Meng Yuan's news, Xiliang's revenge, we will have to return sooner or later." ”

Su Ziheng replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I have never forgotten this matter for a day. This time I went to Mengyuan, and I saw if I could insert a nail in the Mengyuan Empire. There are also two countries at war, I also want to know how the fight is, although the location of Donghai Prefecture is good, but it is too far away from the Central Plains, a lot of information can not be transmitted back in time, and after a long time, you will become blind. ”

Su Ziheng's ambition has never stayed in the land of Donghai Mansion, Donghai Mansion is just a fulcrum, and he wants to use this place to pry the whole world.

Because of the relationship in Great Xia, it may not be easy for the East China Sea Mansion to expand into the territory of Great Xia for a while, but across the river is the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which is a place of chaos, as long as the time is ripe, he will not have any mercy.

Zhao Wan'er saw Su Ziheng and Zhong Qinghan walking in together, hurriedly stood up from their positions, and said in surprise to the two: "Xianggong, Sister Qinghan, why are you here, are you going to have dinner together?" ”

Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Originally, I had something to discuss with you, but now it's time to eat, let's talk while eating." ”

Because it took a long time to leave Donghai Mansion here, Su Ziheng didn't plan to go out to eat, but invited the two of them to Su Mansion for a while, and it happened that he had to tell his sister-in-law Zhang Wanqing about it.

When waiting for the cook to serve the food, Su Ziheng said that he was going to Mengyuan, except for Zhong Qinghan, Zhao Wan'er and Zhang Wanqing both looked surprised.

It's just that they knew that Su Ziheng had a reason to go, but no one persuaded him to stay.

Zhang Wanqing said: "Uncle, this journey is difficult and dangerous, you have to bring more people over, don't think about the things at home, I will arrange it properly." By the time you come back, the Su Family Manor in Dragon King Peak should have already started construction. ”

Zhao Wan'er pondered for a long time, raised her head and said to Su Ziheng: "Xianggong, Meng Yuan is not better than Great Xia, and we don't know much about Meng Yuan. If you try to save people single-handedly like this, it will definitely not work, maybe before the people are rescued, you yourself will be in danger again. ”

"Even if you are going, you have to be prepared in advance, preferably in the name of business. Although Meng Yuan and Great Xia are at war now, as far as I know, the trade routes of the people have not been completely cut off, maybe we can start from here. ”

Su Ziheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Wan'er, you have a point, but how should we act and what goods should we sell in the past, so as not to arouse Meng Yuan's hostility?" ”

Zhao Wan'er said: "If you want Meng Yuan to pay attention to it, you won't intercept your caravan, and naturally sell the goods they urgently need." Among them are medicinal herbs and table salt. ”

"However, I suggest not selling medicinal herbs, as that will increase Meng Yuan's strength and reduce the advantage on the battlefield of Great Xia. It is enough to transport table salt, and it just so happens that we have a batch of coarse salt in our salt farm, and you can take it to test the water. ”

"It can be in the name of smuggling, so that even if you bring an escort, Meng Yuan's people won't be surprised, after all, smuggling salt is a job to lose your head."

Su Ziheng frowned and said, "If you smuggle salt, will it attract the attention of Great Xia, I'm afraid it will outweigh the losses." ”

Zhong Qinghan raised her chopsticks and knocked on the wine glass, and when everyone's eyes looked at her, she coughed lightly and said, "Just leave this matter to me, and I will send a secret letter to Your Majesty, just say that I sent you to find out the news." ”

"My words should convince Your Majesty, after all, we fled from Xiliang to Donghai Mansion, and we have an inseparable blood feud with Meng Yuan."

……

……

In the next three days, Su Ziheng was arranging to organize a caravan to go north to Mengyuan on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also waiting for Ji Xiaohan's health to improve. After all, after entering Mengyuan, it is more necessary to rely on Ji Xiaohan to lead the way.

In order to save time, Su Ziheng chose to start by sea, take a sea boat from the East China Sea all the way north, arrive at Jinzhou Mansion at the junction of the East China Sea and the North Sea, and then abandon the ship from the grassland into the capital of Mengyuan.

This way avoids the main war areas of the two countries of Mengyuan and Great Xia, and the safety factor is much higher. Moreover, the terrain of this road is relatively flat, even if it is time to change carriages, it is easier to walk.

Su Ziheng brought a total of more than 60 people on this trip, in addition to himself and Ji Xiaohan, there were also Shi Meng carefully selected guards with high combat effectiveness from the escort team, each of whom brought two breech flintlock pistols, as well as enough ammunition and grenades.

Even if the number of such a team is a little smaller, fifty people can be enough to withstand five or six times more enemies in a head-on encounter.

In addition, he was accompanied by Dong Yuanyu, Cai'er and Zhao Wan'er.

Dong Yuan Yu and Cai Er naturally set off to protect Su Ziheng, and Zhao Wan'er's reason was that without her, this caravan would not have the appearance of a caravan at all, and there were more than sixty people in the entire team, and there were no people who were proficient in business, so it didn't make sense.

What's more, Zhao Wan'er wanted to take this opportunity to open up the trade route of Zhao's firm in the northern part of Great Xia. In the past, the biggest advantage of the Zhao firm was in the western part of Great Xia and the southern part of the Yangtze River, and the northern part had never been involved.

If a trade route from Donghae Province to Jinzhou Prefecture can be opened up this time, the benefits will be self-evident.
