Chapter 41: A Trip to the Imperial Capital
The main hall of the General's Palace.
The crowd took their seats.
"When are you going to go to the imperial capital?" Xia Xin has always been protecting Shang Yin in his own way, and now his actions have basically destroyed her layout.
"Tomorrow, it is said that Da Shibi has a good relationship with my grandfather? Shang Yin said with a smile.
"Well, that's true. When Xia Xin heard Shang Yin's words, he felt a lot more relieved, as long as Shang Yin had a face-to-face relationship with Da Shibi, no matter who wanted to be unfavorable to him, he had to weigh and weigh.
Dashi is selfless and selfless, and no one will give face, so even if she is the emperor, the queen mother will be extremely careful in doing things, especially in the matter of Shang Tianzheng.
What he did to Xia Guo, one by one, was recorded in history.
If Shang Tianzheng didn't do anything sorry for the Xia Kingdom, but the descendants were tragically poisoned by the Xia Kingdom's royal family, in the long run, this would be a thing that would affect the fortunes of the country very much.
Going to the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom, on the one hand, Shang Yin did not want to continue like this, and on the other hand, he wanted to confirm Yelubao's words from some people who were close to Shang Tianzheng.
's grandmother, is it really plotted by others, will she fall.
Did his parents die in a tragic battle because of the leakage of information from the Xia Kingdom?
If so, he wants to find out who this person is, if it is the queen mother, he is willing to cut his body, and he will also pull the current queen mother down from this position.
It's just that he has always lacked an excuse to go to the imperial capital, but this time he was assassinated, which is a good excuse.
Xia Xin handed over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to Cai'er to preside.
He stayed in the General's Mansion, held a banquet at home, and personally received the two.
Nighttime.
Xia Xin came to Shang Yin's room, and Han Han lived next door.
"You've really decided? After all, you're unguarded in the imperial capital. Xia Xin knew that his experience in the Northern Cold Pass was not child's play, and now he couldn't leave for a while, if Shang Yin went to the imperial capital, I was afraid that he would not be able to see him for a while.
"Of course, there is no turning back when I open the bow, I have given my grandfather's creation to General Gao, thank you princess for sending the white shadow to guard secretly. Shang Yin thanked him.
"Where, after all, you have helped me so much, if you have a good one, who can help me? If it were not for you, I am afraid that the matter of marrying into Liao is a foregone conclusion. Xia Xin grinned, her eyes were full of tenderness at this moment.
"I think the Queen Mother shouldn't embarrass you next, with your talent, you will definitely be able to make the trade of Beihanguan prosperous. Shang Yin restrained some of his thoughts, Xia Xin was more active than Su Jiuwei, and his eyes were full of aggression, which was easy to distract.
"Speaking of the difficult paths you surveyed, after being repaired, it is indeed much more convenient, the people in the city, including some monks in the mortal realm, the flow of goods between them is much smoother, no one cared about this kind of corner matter before, because the people in high positions really can't think of this, it doesn't affect them at all, you are really powerful, for a place like Beihanguan, the business of the trickle is too important, and the convenience of the road is too important for the business environment. Xia Xin looked at the accounts these days, the goods in the most downstream are much better than before, as long as the next few main roads are repaired, I am afraid it will be better, and it will also strengthen the trade between Beihanguan and other surrounding cities, especially in winter, because the roads are difficult to travel, many times will stagnate.
"Well, that's good, if there is a need to build other roads, you can allocate them from the 500,000 high-grade spirit jade I gave you. Shang Yin's heart moved, could it be that his 50,000 good deeds were because the road was repaired? He remained silent and said, "How long will it take for the other roads to be completed?"
"Well, it is estimated that another one or two months will be enough, and it will be opened one after another, and now it is very rare for the entire Beihanguan military and civilians to be united, and it will be easier for General Gao Li to govern, after all, building roads is a good thing for the people in the city. In the room, the lights were flickering, and Xia Xin's eyes reflected Shang Yin's face, and the more he looked at it, he only felt that he liked it in his heart.
In this matter, spring is already in place, but it will still be a little cold.
The copper stove in the room burns fragrant wood, with a hint of warmth.
Lonely men and widows, the atmosphere has become much more ambiguous for a while.
Xia Xin's body was delicate and slowly approached.
Shang Yin only felt a little distracted, and felt that he couldn't control himself again, he only felt that the flow of qi and blood was speeding up.
At this time, Gao Li's voice came from outside the door: "Little Immortal Master, Gao Li asks to see." ”
Xia Xin restrained his mind and bit his lip, this Gao Li is really good at choosing the time.
Shang Yin went to open the door as soon as possible.
Gao Li saw that Xia Xin was there, and felt that he had come at the wrong time, but after all, Shang Yin was going to leave for the imperial capital tomorrow, and he had to make arrangements in advance.
"General Gao, please. Shang Yin said.
"This trip to the imperial capital is 100,000 miles away, I want to send an elite team to escort the little immortal master, I don't know what to do?" Gao Li asked.
"It's okay, I'll let the white shadow secretly accompany me. "After yesterday's incident, Xia Xin knew that most of it was related to the Queen Mother, and soon after Xia Xuan was recalled, he was assassinated, obviously intentionally.
"Then I'll be disrespectful. Shang Yin knew that there would be a little danger along the way.
"The old immortal master's hard work, I will definitely make good use of it, and I will not waste it. Gao Li knows that these are just a part of the old immortal master's creation, but the major forces want to get them very much, because they can bring great benefits to the children of their clan, and the tattoo scriptures and tattoo techniques collected by the old immortal master are the top in the Xia Kingdom, and they are all carefully selected by him, and they can cooperate very closely with each other, which is even more rare.
"I'm relieved to hand it over to General Gao. Shang Yin also knew that the soldiers of the Northern Han Guanzhong were making every effort to build roads and benefit the people of Guanzhong, all because of Gao Li, Shang Tianzheng had a high opinion of him, he was just and brave, and it would not be a problem to hand over those scripture tattoos to him.
"Okay, then set off tomorrow, I'll let people prepare the carriage and horses, this is the map to the imperial capital, little immortal master, princess, I will retire first." Gao Li got up, unfolded the map and placed it on the table, and then gave it away.
"Well, I'll go first, then. Although Xia Xin really wanted to stay with Shang Yin for a while, but tomorrow he was about to set off, when she saw Gao Li's map, there were two places drawn with cinnabar ink, both of which were extremely dangerous, she immediately couldn't sit still, presumably the Queen Mother would not give up on this way.
According to the news she got from Xia Li, Leng Zhi had already left the imperial capital, and she was afraid that she was coming for Shang Yin, and for so many years, none of the people who had been targeted by that old poisonous snake were alive.
"Good. Shang Yin sent them away.
Looking at the two places marked on the map on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Qianzhong Mountain, Dangxian River, these are all the necessary places for the Northern Cold Pass to go to the imperial capital. Shang Yin looked at the map, there were some dangerous places, even if it was an ordinary time, the Spirit Body Realm cultivators could fall through these two places, let alone others, if someone deliberately set up an ambush in these two places, even if there were elite guards, it would be very dangerous.
"Qianzhong Mountain, there is a Tianfeng Village, self-proclaimed natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, on the road to and from the mountain, I don't know how many monks were killed, but they all died without proof, no way, unless it is to give Tianfeng Village a high toll, it can be spared, Qianzhong Mountain is located in Shenzhou, and the local high-ranking officials are very close. ”
"Dingzhou, Dangxian River, it is said that there are water demons in the river, but to cross the Dangxian River, there is no way around, every year I don't know how many shipwrecks, how many sunken corpses in the river, if it is before crossing the river, with gold and silver spirit jade as a sacrifice, you can keep safe. ”
"Shenzhou and Dingzhou are so rich that they are said to have a lot to do with Hong Wujun and Narcissus Sect, otherwise, why have they been able to run rampant so much for so many years?"
Shang Yin from his memory, in those years, the old immortal master asked himself in this life to pay attention to the changes in the court situation and the important places of war.
If the Northern Cold Pass is broken and the barbarians go all the way south, then Qianzhong Mountain and Dangxian River are all places that must be passed, which will become a dangerous place to hinder the enemy's army.
He knew that there were indigenous people in these places, and the people's conditions were more complicated, and there were local forces entrenched, as long as they could provide enough wealth to the place.
Whether it's Shenzhou or Dingzhou, they don't care how many people they rob and kill.
Even sometimes if someone wants to kill, you can borrow their hands and let people blend in, it's not impossible.
I have to say that Gao Li has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the routes along the way have been selected, and these two points are marked on the map, ostensibly for Shang Yin to see, but it is also a reminder to Xia Xin.
Others don't know, it is impossible for her not to know, these two places are implicated in the forces of Hongwu and Narcissus Sect respectively, and have a deep relationship with the Queen Mother.
"It seems that the trip to the imperial capital in the south is very dangerous, but I am afraid that the queen mother will not want me to live to the imperial capital, I just want to go to the imperial capital alive to see what you can do." Shang Yin from this time, they used the dark barbarian guard to kill themselves, and he was even more convinced in his heart that his parents' military information was leaked, and his grandmother was ambushed by mysterious people and barbarians, which is very likely to be related to the current Queen Mother.
After all, the Queen Mother once liked her grandfather, and it is not impossible to hate because of love.
Otherwise, it can't be explained, why did the royal family be so targeted by his grandfather who made such a big sacrifice to the Xia Kingdom.
