231 Prince of Security

No one in the DPRK was willing to go to the sinister place of Beiguancheng, but Ma Tang automatically asked for help, to put it bluntly, he wanted to borrow Beiguancheng to "gild", and in the future, Feihuang Tengda could also pave the way with some real credit.

Lu Ying can defend Beiguan City, and he Ma Tang can also defend it, and others don't know what to do, maybe they think he is as powerful as Lu Ying.

With such a fluke mentality, Ma Tang took office, but he didn't know that the situation at the border was changing rapidly, and a big war was just around the corner.

When Ma Tang Xinguan took office, he heard that the family of the former cabinet chief assistant lived on the Baili Mountain south of Beiguan City, and immediately brought gifts and posters to visit him.

In Ma Tang a year ago, Bai Changshan probably sent a general manager to send him away, but now that he has resigned, and the other party is the leader here, it is not easy to see.

Ma Tang has been depressed in the officialdom for many years, and he has not learned anything else, but his ability to observe words and emotions is very strong, and the two sides are also happy.

When the family was having dinner in the evening, Bai Poria asked how Ma Tang was, Bai Changshan thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say what the real ability is, but the temperament is slippery and easy to drill, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with." ”

Bai Lingbian snorted softly: "It's okay to send it away, this kind of guy actually became the general of Zhenbei like my eldest brother, and he gets angry when he thinks about it!" When the people from the Thorn Fruit Department call, I want to see how he is in the north! ”

Bai Chou shook his head and said, "If the people from the Thorn Fruit Department really come to make trouble, we won't do any good. ”

"In the past, when the eldest brother hadn't arrived in Beiguan City, weren't we okay? Besides, there is still the Zhenbei Army, as long as Ma Tang is interested and doesn't command indiscriminately, even if the Thorn Fruit Department really comes, it can't do anything. What's more, we have a back-up move! "Bai Poria is not worried at all.

"What's the trick?" Bai Changshan asked.

"More than a year ago, I bought an injured Thorn Fruit tribesman in the slave market, he is the youngest son of the head of the Thorn Fruit Tribe, called Thorn Fruit Euonymus, was framed by the wicked people in the clan, when I went to the capital, he also recovered from his injuries and left, he will definitely go back to the Thorn Fruit Department to take revenge, Pingzi said that he has the appearance of a king, there is such a person, what are we afraid of?" Bai Poria feels happy every time she thinks of this lucrative business.

Bai Changshan was a little unimpressed: "How can you be accurate in the matter of physiognomy?" ”

"It's not easy for others to say, but what Pingzi said seems to be quite accurate." Bai Poria thought of Yang Heng, her parents, and herself...... There is also a sea pumice stone, Pingzi's magic stick is really godly, and it can be called a hundred shots.

"Anyway, now there are more outsiders in Beiguan City, Ma Tang, Ling'er, you have to be careful in doing things, so as not to attract people's handles, your eldest brother and Pingzi are in the capital." Mu Peilan reminded.

"Got it......" Bai Poria was upset when she thought of this, finally winter had passed, and it was just right for her to go out, but she met such an eyesore.

Although the owner of Beiguan City was replaced by Ma Tang, but in everyone's minds, the real king of this place is still the Bai family, Bai Poria's ebony carriage walked in Beiguan City, and the momentum was no different from more than a year ago, Bai Poria leaned on the car and was in a good mood, it was different on her own territory, she wanted to go sideways, and no one dared to say a word.

However, when she walked to the door of Tongcai Yaxing, she found that the door was full of birds, Bai Poria couldn't help frowning, she was on the spur of the day today, Bai Shanglu should not have time to clear the field, she has been busy doing good deeds recently, and has not paid attention to the things of the tooth shop, it is said that now that the ice and snow are melting, the businessmen who have been dormant for a winter should be in a hurry to come out to make money, why is the tooth shop so deserted?

Bai Shanglu went out to greet him, and Bai Poria couldn't help but ask when he got out of the car.

Bai Shanglu smiled bitterly: "Recently, it has not been peaceful outside Beiguan City, the caravan cannot pass, and the Thorn Fruit Department has moved south, and it is fighting with several other barbarian tribes for territory, and even the Great Arrow Department, which originally did business with us, has no time to take care of itself. The merchants from the south have come, and now they are all staying at the inn for the time being. I only hope that the battle between the barbarians and the Thorn Fruit will be decided as soon as possible, otherwise our gains will be greatly reduced this year. ”

"Do you know what's going on with the Thorn Fruit Division?" Bai Poria was a little curious, she remembered that the reason why the Euonymus was framed and exiled to Beiguan City was because his father wanted to lead the clan to move south, and the high priest of the clan was unwilling, so he simply murdered the two fathers and sons.

Now that the Thorn Fruit tribe has moved south, could it be that it only took more than a year for the Thorn Fruit Guardian Spear to take revenge and successfully seize the patriarch throne? That's so efficient, isn't it?

Bai Shanglu invited her to sit down in the flower hall, and then slowly told her everything she knew.

It turned out that the Thorn Fruit Department died violently at the beginning of last year, and the plan to move south was shelved, and the clan chose the eldest son of the former patriarch as the heir, but last year the north was still a continuous famine, and the Thorn Fruit Department suffered heavy losses, and the call for moving south became higher and higher.

The world outside the pass is vast, but the area with abundant water and soil has long been carved up by the original barbarians, and the first to arrive in order to fight for a better place for the later tribesmen, it is inevitable that a war will break out with the aborigines. The Thorn Fruit tribe is the strongest tribe in the north, even if it has been sleepy after a long migration, it is not easy to deal with, the barbarians in the vicinity of Beiguan City were beaten by Lu Ying before, and suddenly encountered a strong enemy, some neighboring tribes had to unite to fight together, the two sides came and went, barely tied, the territory of several weaker tribes has been occupied by the Thorn Fruit Department, with the arrival of the reinforcements of the Thorn Fruit Department one after another, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before the domination outside the pass.

Bai Poria didn't hear the news of the green eyes, and was a little disappointed, especially after confirming that the current Thorn Fruit Clan Leader was not the Thorn Fruit Euonymus, she felt even more bored.

"Do you remember the green-eyed Thorn Fruit Clan that I rescued before I went to the capital, is there any news of him?" Bai Poria asked without much hope. Before she left, she specially introduced Green Eyes to several important stewards of her family, so that he became a king and could take care of her family's business, so Bai Shanglu also recognized the Piercing Fruit Euonymus.

Bai Shanglu said with a smile: "Yes, he is now quite famous outside the pass, nicknamed 'Sky Eagle', recruited a lot of remnants of the barbarians, specializing in guarding the caravans, the price is quite high, and there are many capable people under him, and the horse thieves and robbers outside the gate will avoid him when they see his banner from afar, and they dare not provoke him." Many of our guests are his patrons. ”

"That's it......" Bai Poria didn't expect that the prince's revenge was not staged, the prince actually ran to be a security guard, she had no professional discrimination, but the gap between a tail of Wang Ba and a security boss was a bit too big.

"However, it doesn't seem to be ......peaceful inside the Thorn Fruit Department," Bai Shanglu's words re-gave Bai Poria hope.

"Why isn't it peaceful?"

"It is said that the former patriarch had promised that the warriors who could seize the territory for the clan would be rewarded with their own ranch possessions, but the current patriarch and high priest seemed unwilling to honor the promise of the former patriarch, so some of the younger warriors began to be dissatisfied. According to our spies, the Thorn Fruit Department is afraid of imminent civil unrest. Once they are in disarray, the barbarians who have now been deprived of their territory will inevitably fight back, and the situation will be unpredictable. Bai Shanglu is not very interested in these things of fighting and killing, what he is most interested in is making money, and now this situation gives him a headache.

Bai Lingling knew his mind, smiled and asked about the Bai family's maritime business, sure enough, Bai Shang Lu immediately cheered up, unlike Beiguancheng, the southeast coastal area has become a three-regardless zone because of the turmoil of the Qi court, the officials of the DPRK and China have not yet realized the huge benefits brought by maritime trade, the Bai family has strong financial resources, and is willing to spend a lot of money to recruit talents, in just a few years has become the largest maritime business, and other small maritime merchants have also been brought over, and the benefits earned last year have exceeded the signs of land business, If it weren't for this part of the considerable income, I'm afraid that Bai Shanglu wouldn't be able to sit in the tooth shop and watch the situation outside the customs now, and he would have vomited blood three liters in a hurry.

"How's that overseas island going?" Bai Poria's heart moved, and she asked what she was most concerned about. The matter of Hai Pumice Stone has come to an end, although the situation in Qi Guo is chaotic, but she has a faint feeling in her heart that Yang Heng will soon become the real person in power, and it is said that the situation is greatly beneficial to her family, but for some reason, she is always a little uneasy.

Although the climate here in Baili Mountain is special, after all, it is in the north, which is not more comfortable and pleasant than the south.

"The civil works have been basically completed, and it should be able to live in as soon as this summer." Bai Shanglu's tone was a little hesitant, his homeland was difficult to leave, although he and his sister Bai Guo had been living abroad since childhood, and they didn't know where their hometown was, but they were used to the life of Qi Kingdom, and suddenly heard that they were going to move overseas, and they couldn't help but be very reluctant.

Bai Poria patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's not that you want to move to the island with me right away, leaving a way back, if Qi Guo can stabilize, I don't want to change places casually." ”

Bai Shanglu breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best!" ”

Coming out of Tongcaiyaxing, the sky was already full of sunset, and Bai Poria took people to Tongyun Tower to eat a meal and then go home as usual. Tongyunlou because of the unstable situation outside the customs, the business is also a lot lighter, Bai Poria sat in the old position by the window, and felt lonely for a while.

Everything is no different from the past, but there seems to be something different, so that she can't laugh as carefree and happy as before, and it has only been more than a year since she left here, why does her mood seem to change a lot?

Bai Poria looked at the street scene outside the window, and suddenly heard a miscellaneous footsteps in the direction of the stairs, and the anxious voice of the shopkeeper came: "Miss Bai has already chartered the third floor, the guest officer please go downstairs to the private room with the little one......

Got a bad guy again? What a coincidence! Bai Guo glanced at the lilac beside him, and the two laughed maliciously.
