After Bai Ling left, Heng Yuanjun did not return to the house immediately.

He was still sitting on the edge of the chess game that Fang had just played against Bai Ling, looking at the black and white sides of the chessboard, and recalling every word of Bai Ling.

Compared with the little girl who angrily brushed her sleeves away on the palace road three years ago, today's girl with a slight cunning smile seems to have become more difficult to contain.

He felt a little tired and a little funny, and he didn't care about the dust on his clothes, and fell straight back to the ground.

The sky was blank and bright, and the light between the shadows of the trees was still dazzling, so Yao Heng Yuanjun frowned and closed his eyes.

"Don't walk gently into that good night."

The voice echoed in Heng Yuanjun's mind.

Do you think so on the night of Sanxitang?

Sister Junping.

And at this time, outside the palace walls.

"You don't have to send me," Bai Ling stopped, frowning and looking into Han Chong's eyes, "I know the way myself." ”

Han Chong also stopped with Bai Ling's pace, but he had no intention of turning around and going back.

His gaze slowly shifted from the distant road to Bai Ling.

"This is Ming Gong's order." Han Chong said lightly.

"What did you Ming Gong order you?"

"Send you out of the palace." Han Chong said coldly, "Guarantee your safety." ”

Bai Ling even laughed.

“…… It's even more uneasy that you're following me. ”

She took a few steps back to the side, then ran forward quickly, and Han Chong changed from strolling to sprinting with a blank expression.

……

In Baili Lane in the west of the city, in front of Wang Yuzhang's foreign mansion, he personally sent Wei Shishi out.

Today's Wei XIV did not wear his usual guard clothes, but changed into regular clothes,

"There is no need to send it outside the king," Wei Shixi stopped, "It's okay to get here." ”

Wang Yuzhang sighed, "Let's have a meal and then leave!" You're going back a little later today...... Bo Si Yao is so reasonable, I definitely won't blame you! ”

"Nope." Wei Fourteen shook his head, "I do have other things to do at night. ”

Seeing that Wei Shixi's attitude was resolute, Wang Yuzhang was not good to keep it anymore.

"It's rare to see the fourteenth master three or two times a month, and every time I have to go through the accounts of Bai Si Yao, I don't have time to talk well."

Wang Yuzhang looked at the carriage that Wei Shishi was riding outside, his face was not without regret, he crossed his hands on his waist, and pretended to be slightly angry, "Next time, I have to personally invite Bai Siyao to live at home for a few days, and then the fourteenth master will not have to go in such a hurry." ”

Wei Fourteen laughed rarely.

"It doesn't have to be like this outside," Wei Fourteen chuckled softly, "I'll have a whole day to spare tomorrow, if you don't bother—"

"Don't bother! Don't bother! Wang Yuzhang smiled, "Then I will prepare thin wine at home tomorrow and wait for the fourteenth master to come!" ”

The two exchanged a bow, and then Wei Fourteen walked away quickly.

Wang Yuzhang didn't go back immediately, but stood in place and watched Wei Shishi leave, until a gentle "Master?" came from behind him. ”

He turned around and saw his wife, supported by her maid, standing at the door at some point.

"Why did you get out?" Wang Yuzhang hurriedly turned around to help, "Didn't you let you have a good rest in the house?" ”

"When I always rest in the house, my feet will be weak." The woman stroked her bulging abdomen, lowered her eyes and smiled, "Besides, the doctor also said that I usually have to walk, and I can't just stay in the house......"

The woman slowly stepped out of the threshold and looked in the direction Wei XIV had left—there had been a resumption of traffic and traffic, and Wei XIV's car was no longer visible.

"The white-haired man just now, is that the old man who has been talking about it?"

"yes." Wang Yuzhang said softly, "What a strange person." ”

The woman covered her mouth and smiled, "If you can invite the master to the mansion to reconcile the accounts, I think it must not be an ordinary person." ”

"We're not talking here, okay?" Wang Yuzhang said softly, "It's cold outside, and it's windy again, be careful of getting cold." ”

Wang Yuzhang helped his wife to walk slowly to the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Wang was obviously unwilling to go back to the bedroom immediately, so the two slowly walked to their own living room.

On the table directly south of the living room, the carved shaft that Wang Yuzhang accidentally received from Bai Ling three years ago was placed there uprightly at the moment.

The surface of the scroll had been repolished, warm and shiny, and the red part of it was almost gone, and a yellowish sheen covered the sphere - a sign of heavy snow in the near future.

Wang Yuzhang carefully helped his wife sit down.

"I don't often ask about your business," the woman chuckled, under her breath, "but it's rare to see you so interested in anyone, so I can't help but ask." ”

"Anyway, he will come to the house tomorrow as a guest, and Madame will know when he comes."

"Tell me first," Mrs. Wang calmed the corners of her mouth, but there was a smile in her eyebrows, "Tell me what kind of person this is, and I'll see if I want to see it tomorrow." ”

"Remember the two 'Title Roads' we paved to the north last year?" Wang Yuzhang said softly.

Mrs. Wang nodded, and then her expression was slightly surprised, "Could it be ......?"

"Yes," Wang Yuzhang nodded, "That's this person's idea." ”

Since the looting of gold thieves in the autumn of the forty-fifth year of Jianxi, the entire Daiyue ticket number has fallen into a desperate situation almost overnight.

In the midst of the war, about two-thirds of the treasury silver of the Daiyue ticket number was transferred to the south in advance, and safely flowed into the Yuzhang ticket number in the south, and the remaining one-third was either snatched by the Jin people or looted by bandits on the way to flee south.

Wang Yuzhang bought real estate and land in Huizhou for his former siblings, so that they could have a place to live in the city for the time being, and would not be taken by the government to reclaim new villages.

The trade routes in the north were paralyzed, and they had not tried to revive the trade routes for three years, but most of the caravans that had gone out had failed - especially in the autumn of the first and second years of Shengming, when the Jin made two comebacks, and almost all their previous investments were in vain.

"I was also thinking, is it really not necessary to have such a large area in the north?" Wang Yuzhang laughed, "At least, my old Wang family's ticket numbers and firms in Jiangzhou and Daye were basically preserved at that time, so it's a pity to give up like this."

"As a result, last year, when I was thinking about this in the ticket number, I happened to meet Bai Siyao to reconcile, and Wei Shishi also came with me, and I saw that he was also standing in front of the northland map of our head office for a while, and I thought it was quite interesting, so I went to talk to him for a few words."

Saying this, Wang Yuzhang lowered his voice, "What do you guess he was looking at at at the time?" ”

"What?" Mrs. Wang asked curiously.

"He said there were several places on that map, and it didn't look right." Wang Yuzhang frowned slightly, "Actually, there are a few marks on the map that are indeed not quite right-because in the entire map, only the part south of the Jian'an River is newly made, and the rest of the part follows the old map from the Apocalypse." ”

“…… Saying this," Mrs. Wang finally understood, "This Lord Wei is very familiar with the Northland. ”
