Outside the Jin capital, the whole world moved.

People focus their attention on the places that make people look sideways, so other details are overlooked.

On the road hundreds of miles away from the Jin capital, a carriage stopped in front of more than a dozen cavalrymen, and the curtain was lifted, revealing Xie Xiang's pale face.

"Your Highness doesn't want me to leave?"

After hearing Xie Shang's voice, the burly general, who was the head of the close guard, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness thinks that since the second master has come out, why not stay in Kyoto and help him?" ”

Xie Sheng shook his head and said, "Since you have come out, there is no reason to go in again." When I accept His Highness's help, I am already helping him. ”

"However, the second master is leaving now, and His Highness has not seen the sincerity."

“…… You're going to stop me? ”

The general bowed slightly on the horse and said: "The second master said that he laughed, the last general came this time, just for His Royal Highness to pass the word, and His Royal Highness also explained, if the second master must leave, it must not be stopped." ”

Xie Sheng smiled, and then said, "If I really want to leave, you can't stop me." ”

The general's eyes were slightly cold, and his heart was unhappy.

In order to get Xie Sheng out of the edict, the foreshadowing that the Qi Wangfu had hidden for many years had to be used, including some taboos in the palace, the conspiracy between the prince and the eunuchs, etc., many of the human relations that were cleared only once were used, and the King of Qi endured the pain, and as a result, Xie Sheng was rescued, but he wanted to leave.

The twists and turns and foreshadowing, including how much money the Qi Wangfu spent and how many people died in secret, can be said to be the King of Qi's investment in the Xie family, which has lost power.

And now, Xie Sheng said he was leaving.

The bamboo basket can also change the utensils and come back, as soon as Xie Sheng leaves, it will be really difficult to let him come back.

King Qi said that he would not stop it, but he must not have thought so in his heart.

The general thought he understood what King Qi meant.

If you know each other, everything is easy to say, and if you don't know each other, it's not that you haven't killed someone.

Xie Sheng was so shrewd, how could the awe-inspiring look in the general's eyes be hidden from him, so he raised his head slightly and motioned for the general to look back.

There was a "poof" sound, as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground.

The general who looked back was furious.

"Bastard"

Before the words fell, there was another sound.

Two feathered arrows were shot into the necks of the two guards, and the guards who fell from their horses saw that they could not live.

There is an ambush? The general shouted, drew his sword and yelled at Xie Shang: "Xie Shang! You've backtracked! ”

Xie Sheng shook his head indifferently and said, "Your Highness misunderstood. I said I would help him, but I didn't promise him to stay in Kyoto, it would hurt him. If you leave now, I promise not to kill you. Otherwise, if I came out anyway, Your Highness will blame you...... He didn't dare to blame me. ”

The general roared, lifted the reins and stepped forward, captured the thief and captured the king, Xie Shang had no fear, it must be that there were people in ambush around him, in this case, as long as he captured Xie Shang, he could control the situation.

The coachman sat on the rut and did not move, and Xie Shang's head poked out of the window slightly and did not retract.

A short sword poked out of the curtain of the carriage, and the saber in the general's hand was about to cut the crosswood of the body forward, and the blade was retracted with a light touch, and then a figure smashed through the back wall of the carriage, and at the moment when the general's horse just rushed through the carriage, one hand tore the general off the horse.

Splash the dust of the canopy.

At the same time, several masked men armed with bows and arrows turned out of sight.

The generals who landed and got up with difficulty were surprised to find that they had been waiting here an hour in advance, but they did not find the ambush.

And what made the general tremble even more was that the person who tore him off the standing horse with one hand was actually a woman, and the woman who gave birth to this woman was quite good-looking.

The woman's eyes widened, and she held the short sword that had been unsheathed in front of her chest, and the killing intent that came to her face made the general unwillingly turn his head.

"Go back and tell Your Highness that Xie Sheng is grateful for everything he has done, and he will repay him in the future, but not now."

After that, Xie Sheng lowered the curtain, the woman with amazing martial arts got into the car, and the driver drove and slowly went forward.

"Let them go!"

The remaining cavalry silently moved out of the way.

When Xie Shang's carriage went away, the general turned around and headed in the direction of Jindu. The cavalry following him could clearly feel the almost desperate mood and deep unwillingness of this loyal general who was loyal to His Royal Highness King Qi.

Everyone knows that if they go back like this, even if they can live, they are afraid that it will be difficult to get out in this life.

"If you dare to go back, I'm really not afraid of death, so I'll give you a ride on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince."

A man wearing an official robe embroidered with purple mandarin ducks with black undertones took one last look at the dozen or so people, and turned to leave.

"Shoot the Arrow"

"Lord Commander, since the second master has released them, why do we still want to kill them?"

"The second master is kind-hearted, but the meaning of the Admiral is not here"

Lord Admiral? The newly promoted commander of the cavalry envoy Siwu Mountain Pass will naturally not be Wen Chong. Then the horseman who spoke seemed to understand something.

The King of Qi and the Crown Prince, which is better or worse, is already obvious, in this case, it will be a wonderful drama to use a matter that must not be said to others to provoke the contradiction between the two again soon after.

A few days later, King Qi sat in the study, his face pale.

"You want to wait for the price and sell it, I don't know whether it's good or bad, I don't know whether it's alive or dead, hehe, it's really the most insidious person in my Dajin, heh, I knew that you could go out without me, I know, I know! Presumably my prince's brother"

This turmoil was finally buried silently, as the initiator of the matter and the person who suffered the most in the end, King Qi couldn't see any emotions on the surface, and King Qi continued to be silent when everyone was busy

With the courage of the Jin Emperor to make up his mind to accomplish one thing, there were not too many twists and turns in the north, and some of the initial assertions, such as the lack of succession, the difficulty of maintaining, and the exhaustion of people's hearts, were controlled to the greatest extent, and basically failed to have a substantial negative impact on the action.

-- The reason why I say this is because, after all, the Northern Expedition was such a huge project that small flaws could not be eliminated. But this time Emperor Jin drove his own expedition, anyone sniffed out the unusualness, and dared to give Emperor Jin eye medicine at this time, either tired of being alive or having convulsions.

For Emperor Jin, who drove the expedition in person, and for the high-level of the Northern Expeditionary Army, as long as it does not affect the fundamentals, some small things, even if they continue, as long as they do not qualitatively affect the Northern Expedition of hundreds of thousands of troops, they are insignificant.

If you are in a bad mood, you can also take it out to kill and kill it, and you can be a soldier

This is the basic situation, because most of the Jin Kingdom is moving very quickly.

Just looking down, the whole process, is still slow.

So coercion and the like have become commonplace things on the way north.

People in the rivers and lakes, heroes in the green forest, chambers of commerce, patriotic, well-named, and money-making people can all be called brothers and sisters along the way. Among them, there are many honest heroes who draw knives because they can't get used to seeing some faces, and of course, there will be children of the government and families who bump into the enemies who walked the rivers and lakes in the past, and gather strength to take revenge.

In short, it is very exciting, very hot-blooded, and very cruel.

All the way north, a layer of ground was scraped off by the government, the army, and the family, because a large number of dead people every day were not necessarily much thinner.

For a huge group with strong strength and can be done in all aspects, such a trip, in addition to being a little harder, is not torture, after all, as long as you take a trip, it is difficult not to gain anything.

Especially herb dealers.

Among them, the Huizhou merchants, whose influence is comparable to that of the Huai merchants, are now called Huizhou merchants, have recently become even more prosperous.

Not only did the medicinal herb merchants in the south and north of the Yangtze River get a huge share of the imperial court a few months ago, but also because Wang Peishi, who had a direct blood relationship with the Huizhou Mansion, was promoted and his political capital increased dramatically.

For such a trend of separation, Huaishang is unstoppable.

Five years ago, when Wang Peishi was transferred to Hubei Province and Huizhou Prefecture was still looking up to Huaiyang Dao, it would have been impossible for Huizhou people to be independent.

Or the people of Huizhou never thought about it.

However, this is no longer the case.

The peace that the Great Jin Dynasty had maintained for 20 years was gone, and the years of war made the Huizhou people taste the sweetness.

That is, casualties, injuries, and diseases, and there is a huge demand for medicinal herbs, even a thirst.

This is the gospel that Huizhou people crave the most, which is geographically advantageous and lacking in time.

So silver fell from the sky.

Huizhou people never dreamed that the medicinal materials that had piled up in the past, and even the medicinal materials that rotted in their own yards, would be in short supply one day.

The huge hollow, the demolition of the house, the urging orders of the upper family and even the government and the military, let the medicinal herb merchants in Huizhou come into contact with some of the most urgent things in the entire Great Jin Dynasty for the first time.

With the help of Huaishang, Huizhou people obtained unimaginable development space and a series of capital that can expand themselves, and then decisively rejected Huaishang's request to control the source of goods.

In the end, it is now a posture to completely separate the family.

Huaishang's years of hard work and even more than ten years of investment were ruined. The people of Huizhou were burdened with the infamy of "traitors" and "white-eyed wolves", and they looked up to the sky and laughed and went out.

The current Huizhou merchants have a certain courage not to be afraid of the retaliatory attack of the Huai merchants, in fact, the Huizhou people who have a series of privileges and the voice of Wang Peishi, the new upstart of the Great Jin Dynasty, can already straighten their waists. has the confidence not to be afraid of most malice.

For the medicinal herb dealers who cannot be offended, the government and the military have also cooperated to the greatest extent for some bad things related to them.

Therefore, in the team going north, although the Hui merchants are eye-catching, they are also the safest in the entire northbound group.

A scholar-like man sat in a bumpy carriage with the special mark of a Hui merchant and talked with a Chinese man, quite serious. There was a strong smell of medicine in the carriage, and the explanation to the outside world was that the elders in the family were infected with the wind cold.

This scholar was the new chief treasurer of the Hui merchants, surnamed Zhang Mingxiang, and his authority was so great - or rather, his ability was so strong that he was polite to several Hui merchant bosses to meet him, so the carriage was rarely disturbed. For some of the not too excessive demands made by the people in this carriage, even the local officials tried their best to meet them.

"Hu lost all three sets, Zhang Xiangxin was convinced, in the past few days, he has not won a single game, and he doesn't dislike playing with me."

"In a few more years, I'm afraid I won't lose."

"The second master praised it falsely, and Zhang Xiang didn't dare to expect extravagance. The second master plays chess, often within fifty hands, but in the last two or three sons rejuvenation, I can't do it, and I can't see through it."

"Well, after losing for a few days, you have made great progress, and it is a good thing that you can not be arrogant or impatient"

Zhang Xiang smiled happily, and was willing to praise the people in front of him who seemed to be a lesson, which can be called proud, and he naturally showed it, not pretentious or pretentious, and it was really a rare bearing.

And sitting opposite him was Xie Xiang, who went north from the capital of Jin. It's just that for some reason, at this time, compared to where he was when he left the Jin capital, it was a little further south.

It's no wonder that Xie Sheng is so cautious, although the king of Qi and the crown prince will not spread the news of his appearance, they are afraid that someone will catch the clues.

Xie Sheng is not worried about his own safety, now that the war is raging, his two sons are outside, and they have a certain amount of energy, just because the Xie family has not completely fallen apart, Emperor Jin has no worries about his life before the situation is completely stabilized, as for whether he is under house arrest in Weihou Mansion or imprisoned in Zhao Prison, or stocked in Zhongnan Mountain, as long as it is in the grasp of Emperor Jin, it is not a big problem.

But you can't run anymore.

I know you still have energy, so I won't really do anything to you, and your family will live well, but you can't get out of my control.

-- This is what Emperor Jin cared about.

No one knows more about the character of Emperor Jin than Xie Xiang, and this is not comparable to the queen mother who can get along with Emperor Jin for ten years.

So Xie Sheng understands that if he is there, Emperor Jin will not really leave an inch of grass, once he is gone, Emperor Jin will inevitably be angry and crazy. At that time, Xie Shence and Xie Shenwei, who had been temporarily put down by Emperor Jin, may be taken to the cutting board on the bright side for cutting.

It is related to Emperor Jin's usual desire to control and dominate, and he will never allow anyone to provoke. This is what Xie Sheng is worried about.

As soon as he thought of this, Xie Shang looked at the scholar in front of him and was a little relieved.

Zhang Xiang can be said to be the most correct business investment Xie Shence did in Huaiyang Road, from the initial brilliance to the single block to provide a lot of financial support for the Xie family and Xie Shence, who was promoted to the commander of the Tiqi Division, to the decline of the Xie family and the Huai businessmen, and now under the operation of the Xie family, Zhang Xiang, who is the spokesperson and executive officer of the Xie family's business, is almost perfect in his own field.

Compared with ability, Xie Sheng appreciates Zhang Xiang's heart more.

After experiencing the ups and downs of Huaiyang Road, being targeted by the Wang family, and then completely giving up the business that he had worked hard for more than ten years, he could still stand firmly on the side of the Xie family at this time, and maintain upward calmness and calmness, this sincerity and perseverance are undoubtedly the most precious for the Xie family at this time.

This calmness and calmness are not appearances. Judging from the hand-to-hand talks of more than two hours a day in the past few days, although Zhang Xiang has been losing, he has made great progress, and now he can lose within fifteen sons. If he can't be distracted and keep improving, it is impossible to reach the level he is now. It can be seen that this scholar's state of mind is indeed not much disturbed by the disturbances of the outside world.

This is a rare and precious thing, and with a little experience, maybe there is no need for it, and the scholar in front of him will definitely be able to take charge of himself.

Soon after, someone asked Zhang Xiang to discuss the matter, and soon after, the cucumber came over with a bowl of medicine, Xie Sheng frowned and drank the medicine, and fell asleep after a while.

The journey to the north is destined not to be smooth sailing, otherwise he Xie Sheng would not have made a detour of hundreds of miles from Bozhou to start again, following the Huizhou businessmen who had been inserted into a chopstick by the Xie family.

The assassination in the open and in the dark can no longer be thought about at this time, but after all, he is afraid that people will find clues and pull him out into the sun.

Not to mention exposure, even the light can't be seen.

Xie Xiang, who is accustomed to the subtleties of cloth and half a game of chess, is extremely familiar with the tricks of the small group of people at the top of the power who borrow knives to kill people and offer flowers to Buddha, so he is so walking on thin ice, eating, drinking, and lazing in a carriage that is not very valuable and therefore inconspicuous.

This is true for him, as are the more than ten Xie Shence's remaining tiarists and two iron guards who were mixed in the ranks of the Hui merchants.

It's a long way to Beidi, Xie Sheng just wants to arrive safely, and he can hold on for a while longer, erase some troubles for Xie Shence that he is not good at, and do his last bit as a father.
