Chu Ran understood in seconds, it seems that the head of the family intends to let his bloodline inherit the throne. If he had gotten this news before, Chu Ran would have gone out immediately to make trouble. Now, he didn't dare, and even secretly made up his mind that as long as Chu Han was in one day, he would be more loyal to the family than Chu Yan.

"Yes, I wish the head of the family a successful trip to Gyeonggi. ”

The corners of Chen An's mouth tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

After sending Chu away, Chen An packed up again, and it wasn't until the second day that the packing was ready.

Two teams of twenty clan soldiers, forty servants, and fifteen chariots lined up in front of the courtyard of the Chu family, waiting to leave.

It's not that Chen An is playing the score, after all, he is the head of the family traveling, and he still has to have the decency, and the dots needed in Beijing and Central China can't be simple, and the local tyrants should also have the style of local tyrants.

Without taking a car, Chen An rode directly on a horse, and with an order, the entire convoy slowly drove out of Jingmen City and headed towards the capital.

Jingmen City is a large city in the mountains, the gateway of Gyeonggi, not far from the capital, it can be reached in one day, even if it is dragged with such a large convoy, it can also arrive in front of the capital gate within five days.

It's just that before they could get out of Jingmen City ten miles away, a horse came from the rear and came to Chen An.

Chen An frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

The rider said, "Lord Gong is in a hurry, saying that the matter ordered by the Lord to investigate is eyebrow-clearing." ”

"Show me. ”

Chen An's eyes flashed, and he already remembered what he had told Gong Hui, so he took the letter directly from the rider, checked the lacquer seal first, and then unfolded it.

"Ask my brother An, the things that my brother ordered have already been seen, and my brother has widely spread eyeliner near the sect, and finally heard many stories about the people above the gods, and told them in detail with my brother...... In addition, there is another unexpected harvest, which is being sent to the brother, and it will be reached in ten days. ”

Chen An couldn't help but frown after reading it, Gonghui was indeed sent by him to observe the sect, in order to understand the truth of this world as soon as possible, Chen An used all means, and there was always a harvest from multiple operations.

Or forgetting the town is an accident, and it is also one of them, and Gonghui's feedback is naturally the second. The sect really has an existence above the gods, and according to the description in the letter, it is the star wheel warlock mentioned by the wild wolf. If you choose to join the Heavenly Alliance, you should be careful when you walk outside.

It's just that what is the word about this windfall, Gong Hui didn't make it clear in the letter, and deliberately lost his appetite.

Forget it, anyway, the trip to the capital can be dealt with in about half a month, and after half a month, I naturally know what his unexpected gain is.

Gathering his thoughts, Chen An concentrated on the road.

This trip to Gyeonggi is in a hurry, but with the Chu family's big business, the preparations are quite sufficient. In addition, Chen An's previous calculations had taken all aspects into account, so this trip was quite calm.

"Xun'er, this trip is in a hurry, your thirteenth uncle doesn't have time to explain it clearly to me, you can tell me the details of the previous entry into Beijing. ”

There is also Chu Xun who walked with Chen An along the way, after all, he is the protagonist of this matter, as for Chu Yan, as a rare Tongxuan in the family, he still has to sit in the family.

The two rode side by side, at the front of the team, because they couldn't lead the team fast, so they simply talked about something.

"The head of the family, this time I entered Beijing with the thirteenth uncle, and I was not sure to complete the trust of the head of the family, but the competitors were too weak, and Ji Pinghou appreciated it, giving the nephew a lot of opportunities to perform, and finally directly finalized the details of the marriage, which can be described as smooth sailing. ”

Chen An snorted and said: "Zhao Cong, the Marquis of Jiping, is also an insightful person, and he can let go of his prejudices and call on all the resources that can be called, and he is indeed a character." ”

"Indeed," Chu Xun first echoed, and then said: "When I was in Beijing with Uncle Thirteen, I didn't slack off because this matter went well, but I still took advantage of some opportunities to really explore some of the situation in Beijing. ”

"Oh? ”

Chen An showed great interest in this and motioned to Chu Xun to speak.

Chu Xun got this opportunity to perform in front of the head of the family, so naturally he would not miss it, and hurriedly recounted in detail: "Now that the imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty has fallen, the power has fallen into the hands of Prime Minister Lu Zhi, and there is the emperor and queen Sun, assisted by Lu Wen, Marquis of Yongchang, and the Xian King of the foreign dynasty is divided into courts, maintaining the balance on the surface. ”

Speaking of this, he said to Chen An with admiration: "It is still the head of the family who is splendid in his chest, and he can't be seen by ordinary people, Zhao Cong, the Marquis of Jiping, seems to be just an ordinary magnate in the capital, but he has in-laws with the Lu family, the Sun family, and the Lu family, and several other old nobles have inexplicable interest entanglements, which play a decisive role in balancing the forces of all parties. ”

Chen An shook his head and sighed: "Xun'er is still too young, and she looks at the problem a little superficially. ”

Chu Xun was stunned and hurriedly said, "I am willing to listen to the bishop." ”

Chen An said in a rambling voice: "Although King Xian has a large army, it is inevitable that he has a shallow foundation in the eyes of the old magnates, and he cannot be compared with the magnates who represent the imperial court at many levels. Prime Minister Lu Zhi, the Emperor and Empress Sun's family, and Yongchang Marquis Lu Wen, they just represent foreign ministers, relatives, and nobles, and they are said to be auxiliary, and who can know the hidden struggle for power and profit? I value the Jiping Marquis family not because it can regulate the disputes of the first three, but because of its ability to regulate the disputes between the three. What does his family represent? Do you know?"

Chu Xun thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up and said, "Sect?"

"That's right," Chen An said with a teachable smile: "Jiping Hou represents the clan, the Great Song Dynasty royal family has been sitting in the world for more than 300 years, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, how can it be possible to watch the cow ghost snake god corrupt the foundation of his ancestors, King Xian can rise up against the Gyeonggi magnates, there is no shadow of the clan behind it, and it is naturally self-evident what the purpose is." ”

Chu Xun asked curiously, "Then what we support is actually the clan?"

Chen An shook his head and said, "Not really. ”

"It is true that the Marquis of Jiping has a deep background and a profound background, but it is also true that the royal family is weak, otherwise you can directly set things right, there is no need to engage in these little ninety-nines. Now the balance of each family should be what he wants to see, and try his best to maintain this situation, otherwise the world will be in chaos, and the gates and lords in various places will support their own troops, and if the territory is sealed, the Great Song Dynasty will fall apart in an instant. So to a certain extent, what Jiping Hou represents is actually the entire old nobles, and to serve him is actually to serve the entire old aristocracy. ”

When Chu Xun heard this, he immediately said respectfully: "The head of the family is wise and far-reaching, and Xun is far from it. ”

Chen An waved his hand and said: "You don't pat yourself on the back, as an elder, I still have to tell you, the current capital is muddy, it is easy to explore, and you can't make any splash if you drown in the water." It's better to be cautious about what to say such arrogant words as soaring into the sky. ”

"My nephew knows what to expect. Chu Xun hurriedly lowered his head, looking panicked.

Chen An believes that he is not pretending, Chu Han's coercion in the past, and now Chen An's far-reaching plans can easily convince this young man, and it is normal to have this performance.

Of course, Chen An didn't say these words to convince Chu Xun.

The Chu family is now strong, and some people want money and money, and with Chen An's improved Xuanbing Jin Martial Arts, if the resources are not worried, it is only a matter of time before there are a few more Xuan Shengang. Until now, what restricts the development of the Chu family is only the knowledge pattern of the children of the family.

The development of the Chu family is still very important to Chen An, firstly, cultivation must have resources, and it is impossible to go into the poor countryside to cultivate quietly; second, the matter of exploration, only one person can do it, what year and month can hit that great luck, if there is a force behind the help, it is different.

Based on these, Chen An has the opportunity to cultivate the descendants of the family, and naturally he will not be stingy with words.

Just walked all the way and chatted all the way, Chu Xun certainly benefited a lot, and Chen An also had a way to pass the time, and before he knew it, a day had passed.

Set up camp, bury the pot and make food, and work until late before everyone rested.

Although he didn't realize that something would happen, Chen An's vigilance remained, and he did not go deep into the cultivation, but only tasted it.

Fortunately, this vigilance did not play a role, there was nothing to say all night, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, Chen An announced his departure again, and learned about the affairs of the capital as soon as possible, there were still many things waiting for him to do, and he couldn't afford to delay the time.

So, another day was spent normally, except for a few merchants who happened to be on the way, all the way was calm. Or there are shear-cut hair thieves, after seeing the distinct team of the Chu family, they also clamped their tails and fled first, so that the twenty clan soldiers brought out had no use.

On the third day, the morning sun was rising, Chen An gave an order, and the whole team set off again. It's already very close to the capital, so you might be able to reach it in the afternoon.

Chen An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, if he thought about it carefully, his worries were a little unnecessary. Clear-eyed people know that he is going to Beijing to give gifts this time, who will be sick to hit the person who gives gifts to everyone and touch that moldy head. Chen An insisted on doing so all the way just in case.

By noon, the procession had reached a high slope, and the walls of the capital had already shown a corner in the distance.

Chen An ordered to rest, not that he didn't want to be angry, but Wangshan ran a dead horse, which is at least half a day's journey, recover his physical strength, maintain a good mental outlook and enter Beijing, which has indescribable benefits for the next cooperation negotiations.

Lunch is dry food and you can't ask for too much during your trip. Chu Xun personally sent it to Chen An, and he also served Chen An's food and drink along the way, and the disciples did not serve him, this is a tradition.

Chen An took it with a smile, and was about to say something, but suddenly his heart moved, and he looked at the jungle on the side of the road in surprise, only to see that the flowers and trees there were extremely bright, so bright that they seemed to be dyed with thick ink, and they didn't look like the real thing at all.

He didn't think about it in his heart, so he pushed Chu Xun away, and shouted at the same time: "The enemy is attacking, everyone disperses." ”
