After entering the Li Mansion, Nanwa was led to the place where the wounded were placed, mainly to check out whether Huang Gonggong was still poisoned. As for Huang Gonggong, he has already fallen asleep.

There were only four people left in the lobby of the Li Mansion, Zhu Houwei and Li Huamei were seated separately, and Hong Yu and Yang Xien stood aside.

Except for Hong Yu, the faces of the other three were not good-looking. Zhu Houwei's secret southward journey this time was a failure, and he had to deal with the impeachment of the ministers. In the past few years, the big moves of the royal family have long made the ministers hold their breath, and this opportunity is no better for them, and just now on the street, hiding in the house, there are so many people in the corner, Zhu Houwei can't hide.

And Li Huamei's master and servant are worried that they originally had to cooperate secretly with Zhu Houwei, but now that Zhu Houwei's identity is exposed, and she is also by her side, then the Li family will also be exposed to the eyes of the intertwined forces in Jiangnan, which is not just as simple as crowding out.

There was silence in the lobby, and the atmosphere was a little oppressive. Zhu Houwei raised his head and showed a smile, "Master Li, now I'm afraid our cooperation can't be kept secret." Li Huamei paused for a moment and said very calmly, "What's the difference between earlier and later, rest assured, what Huamei said will not change." ”

Zhu Houwei nodded, and said with a straight face, "Has the head of the Li family been to Dongying?" Li Huamei was stunned, I didn't know why Zhu Houwei suddenly asked this, but she still replied, "I went there the year before last, and Xingjiu brought it back that time." ”

Zhu Houwei continued to ask, "How is the situation over there, and is the business smooth?" Li Huamei thought for a while, "We just arrived at Sakai Port, which is currently in the midst of war and is in urgent need of supplies. Sakai Port is the only safe place. But we didn't have a way, so we brought back all the goods we had brought with us. ”

"Then let's do it, the Li family will lead the team to go this year. It just so happens that someone in Huangzhuang has some ways over there, and when the time comes, go and try it, and the goods will come out of Huangzhuang. If it is lost, it will be mine, and if it is done, the Huangzhuang will be counted as half. ”

Li Huamei immediately said, "Lord Wang, this business naturally has losses and profits, and my Li family can still afford this risk." Li Huamei knows that as long as she can do business in Dongying, the profit is far greater than that of the southern goods along the Daming coast, and since Zhu Houwei has spoken, then he will basically not fail, which is equivalent to giving benefits to the Li family in disguise. The most important thing to do business there is to have a way to find local wealthy merchants who are willing to trade, after all, the caravan of the Ming Dynasty cannot directly enter the mainland.

Zhu Houwei did not shirk either: "Come to Dengzhou before you go, and set off from there when you arrive." We'll send some warships to escort us. After all, the sea is not very flat there. Li Huamei nodded and said no more.

Suddenly, a maid from the Li Mansion came in and said that Huang Gonggong had woken up and wanted to see Zhu Houwei. So Zhu Houwei stood up and, under the guidance of the maid, walked towards the side room.

Huang's father-in-law on the bed was pale, and it happened that Miao Yi Nanwa was also here. Zhu Houwei first asked him, "Doctor Nanwa, how is he?" Nanwa smiled and replied, "As long as you can wake up, it's not a big problem." It's just that when I'm older, I need to recuperate for some time, and I can't stand the bumps. ”

Zhu Houwei nodded, walked to the side of the bed, and looked at Gonggong Huang. Huang Gonggong's lips were dry and white, and he whispered intermittently, "Master, it's too dangerous outside here now." Hurry up and sail north, if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that there will be danger on this sea. ”

Huang Gonggong's meaning Zhu Houwei understood that it was nothing more than to take advantage of the fact that the news had not spread yet, and hurry back to the capital by sea, so that he could have time to think of a way to deal with it. The land route is too slow, maybe the people haven't arrived in the capital yet, and the impeachment of him has already filled Hongji's desk. The prince went out of Beijing without permission, at least it was against the ancestral system, and at worst, he said that you were plotting against the enemy and were suspected of rebellion. And once the news spreads, maybe someone will ambush at sea, which may not be encountered, but there is always danger. There are not many sea boats coming out this time, and once they meet, as long as they are towed, it will make Zhu Houwei more passive.

Zhu Houwei frowned, "Huang Banban, didn't you listen to the doctor, you can't stand the bumps now." If I didn't have you by my side, I wouldn't be at ease. Father-in-law Huang smiled reluctantly, "Don't worry, master, the old slave can stand it." It's better to get on the boat immediately, otherwise the old slave won't be at ease. ”

Li Huamei, who was behind her, also opened her mouth to persuade, "For now, it is better for Zhu Gongzi to move as soon as possible." Zhu Houwei looked at Huang Gonggong's firm eyes, pondered for a while, and then said, "Okay, let's leave in half an hour." ”

They each acted separately, but Zhu Houwei found Nanwa. "Doctor Nanwa, I wonder where you're going?"

Nanwa said with a smile, "I don't know, where to go." I don't have any other hobbies, I just like snakes, and then study all kinds of snake demons. Nan is my name, which means snake in our Miao language. ”

Zhu Houwei looked at him calmly, "Doctor Nanwa, why don't you go north with us." You must have been born in the south, and you have seen all kinds of snakes. But there are still a lot of snakes in the north, so why not take this opportunity to see them. And when the time comes, we will send someone into the forest with you, so that you can see all kinds of snakes. ”

Nanwa looked at Zhu Houwei and said after a few seconds, "Although you are young, I know that you should be a high-ranking official among the Han people. And I only know about snakes, so why are you looking for me? You shouldn't be short of doctors, like today's snake venom, Chinese medicine can also cure it. ”

Zhu Houwei stared at Nanwa, looked at his open eyes, and then said, "I am the prince, and I don't want you to go with me to treat me, but to let you go to be a military doctor and treat the soldiers who enter the deep mountains. ”

"To put it mildly, what does it matter to me when you Han people fight?" Nanwa retracted her smile and became a little cold.

Zhu Houwei knew that the relationship between the minority ethnic groups and the Han people in many places in this era was not so good, and they were often bullied by the Han people, so many minority ethnic groups would rather live in the deep mountains and old forests than live in the relatively safe Daming City. But the ability of this Nanwa is very good, and Huang Deliang and Li Yanwen are not very deep in snake venom. Immediately, the newly trained soldiers of the land and water battalion will enter other provinces with the road construction team to fight against bandits and bandits. Drilling into the mountains and forests is indispensable, and Nanwa's ability is very important, after all, the local snake doctors are uneven, and if one is not careful, it may cost the soldiers their lives, which is not a gamble.

Zhu Houwei pondered for a while, and then said, "In the future, the Han people, Miao people and other ethnic groups, the Ming government will treat them equally, and there will be no oppression by the government." In this way, your people can also get out of the mountains and live a peaceful and safe life. ”

Nanwa was a little questioning, "You are just a prince, can you have the final say?" Zhu Houwei knew that Nanwa was shaken, and said with a smile, "I will talk to my eldest brother the crown prince." And, it's a hope, isn't it? ”

Nanwa was stunned for a moment and sighed, "I hope I can see that day." Zhu Houwei replied, "Yes." ”

So, there was one more person in the team.

Half an hour later, several carriages were parked in front of the gate of the Li Mansion, one of which carried Huang Gonggong, and the carriage was also covered with thick quilts and other materials to minimize the bumps caused by the carriage. Zhu Houwei was in this carriage, looking at the sleeping Huang Gonggong with Nanwa.

All the minor injuries in the Li Mansion were placed in the carriage, and the only serious illness was Gonggong Huang, plus more than 30 people accompanying him to protect him, it was also a large team. But now I'm not afraid of publicity, I want to be safe.

Li Huamei and the maid of the Li Mansion, the family talked, many of the subordinates' eyes were red, obviously reluctant to leave the young lady so soon, Zhu Houwei opened the sedan curtain, and found that Li Huamei was also a little strange after turning around, but between looking up and bowing her head, it immediately transformed into the usual seriousness, and the happiness behind it is unimaginable to support everyone in such an era at the age of less than twenty.

After a while, the team set off slowly, and Zhu Houwei, who lifted the corner of the curtain, found that the march of the team did not attract a lot of attention, and it was obvious that the news had not spread too fast.

Before he knew it, the team arrived at the gate of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city exchanged a few words with Yang Xien, and quietly stuffed a small bag into his arms, and the Li family's team went out of the city first. Zhu Houwei turned his head and found that there was a person standing on the city tower, and there was no one around, it was the prefect of Quanzhou, who looked at Zhu Houwei calmly, then clasped his hands into fists and bowed.

From the time he waited here, Zhu Houwei knew that this person had scheming, and he had reached the high position of the prefect at a young age, and he had great potential, and he also knew that this person could really do things through some understanding. The only thing that may be lacking is that there is not enough experience and it is not accurate to see people. But it's understandable. It is difficult to draw a cat or a tiger, it is difficult to know the face but not the heart, and the human heart is the most difficult to guess.

So Zhu Houwei smiled and nodded at Qin Siyuan.

When he couldn't see the convoy, Qin Siyuan breathed a long sigh of relief and walked down the city tower with a calm face.
