Chu Ge took Xu Yiting back to his carriage first.

Then drive in the direction of the convoy.

Not long after, several people came to the place where the convoy was ambushed.

More than 100 corpses lay on the official road, blood spilled on the ground, but the goods were still unharmed.

On the road before, Xu Yiting did not hide it from Chu Ge.

The robbers had come specifically for her, and had been instructed to lay an ambush here.

Their Jiangtong Chamber of Commerce, as the No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in Jiangzhou, controls a huge amount of wealth, which is absolutely unimaginable to outsiders.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Xu family has always been good friends with the Dali Imperial Court, and there are several people in the family who hold important positions in Jiangzhou officialdom.

If there is no one in the court, it will naturally be difficult to keep this covetous family business in this world.

Just a few months ago, though.

The Xu family received the attraction of the mysterious forces, and wanted the Xu family to secretly support them with silver taels and grain and grass materials, and they would make the Xu family stronger and prosperous, and become the first chamber of commerce in Dali.

The Xu family understands that this group of forces must be a powerful rebel force.

The strength shown by the other party is far from being comparable to that of ordinary rebels.

If the Xu family really stepped on this big ship, if it could really be successful, then the Xu family would inevitably follow the soaring, and if not, it would not ......

The other party can make the Xu family chicken restless.

Just like Xu Yiting this time, if she hadn't met Chu Ge, I am afraid that she would have become a bargaining chip for the other party to force the Xu family to bow their heads.

Before the establishment of the Jiangtong Chamber of Commerce, the Xu family was also a scholarly family in Jiangzhou.

This kind of ancient scholarly family still has a relatively deep idea of loyalty to the country and the monarch, and naturally will not compromise with the traitor.

But there are many masters in this gang of thieves, and they have a wide range of influences, which has given the Xu family a great headache in the past few months.

If it weren't for the assistance of the Jiangzhou government, I'm afraid the loss would have been even greater.

Chu Ge naturally knew that the trouble that the Xu family encountered should come from the Holy Sect.

If you want to rebel, you don't just need a group of evil masters, you also need to raise a large number of troops.

Raising an army is a huge expense.

Weapons and armor, food, grass and medicine, as well as all kinds of military supplies and daily necessities, all require a large amount of silver.

There are some things that you can't even buy for money.

This requires the covert support of some large chambers of commerce.

This Xu family should be just one of the many fat sheep that are targeted, well, as the first chamber of commerce in Jiangzhou, it should be regarded as the fattest ones.

The Holy Sect will certainly not let it go easily.

Xu Yiting's guards in the convoy were all killed this time, and the goods could only be left here first, and then they could contact the nearest county town to collect the goods and bring the bodies of the guards back for burial.

The group continued on their way.

In the afternoon, we arrived at a county seat in Jiangzhou.

Under Xu Yiting's guidance, the carriage stopped at the door of a shop that said Jiangtong Commercial Bank.

Xu Yiting walked into the shop with Chu Ge and a few people, and when the shopkeeper saw Xu Yiting, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

"Miss, you're here, please come inside."

Xu Yiting nodded, and followed the shopkeeper to the back room of the shop.

A few people sat down, and the shopkeeper ordered someone to bring tea.

Xu Yiting took a sip of tea, told the shopkeeper what happened before, and asked him to immediately arrange for someone to notify the trading house to bring back the goods and the corpses of the guards, and not to let the people of the trading house riot into the wilderness.

"The eldest lady is kind, and the younger one will be arranged."

Wait for the shopkeeper to leave.

Xu Yiting looked at Chu Ge and said, "Son's trip is to go to Jiangnan County." ”

Chu Ge nodded.

Xu Yiting took out a beautifully made black jade plaque, handed it to Chu Ge and said, "This is the black jade plaque of my Jiangtong Chamber of Commerce, and everyone who holds this jade plaque is a distinguished guest of my Xu family." ”

"Jiangtong Building, the largest inn in Jiangnan County, is my Xu family's property, Gongzi can go there to rest for a few days first, and when I finish dealing with the matter here, I will definitely go to find Gongzi and thank Gongzi for saving his life."

Chu Ge was not hypocritical and took the jade card.

The beauty repays the favor, Chu Ge is still looking forward to it.

Such a beauty, if no one can break the branches, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the will of the Heavenly Father?

After having lunch together, Chu Ge said goodbye to this mature and attractive royal sister beauty for a while.

Continue to Gangnam County, where singing and dancing.

......

Kyoto.

The many captives brought back by the clone revealed a lot of useful information under the means of the five groups of the inspection institute.

Soon, the information reached the Jiantian Tower.

Tea room on the seventh floor.

Ye Dian looked at the information in his hand, his gentle expression gradually became serious, and his deep eyes became sharp.

Dong Jiuhan walked up to Ye Dian and looked at the paper, and his cold face also showed a dignified look.

"The development of this holy sect is even faster than we imagined, and this tentacle not only extends to various civil forces, but also directly extends to the soldiers and horses of Dali's prefecture."

Ye Dian quickly commanded:

"Jiuhan, immediately send this information to the palace and hand it over to Your Majesty."

Dong Jiuhan replied respectfully, "Yes, Master." ”

Then take the information and leave quickly.

Ye Dian walked to the window alone, looking at the bustling Dali Capital outside Jiantian Tower, and a chill surged in his deep eyes.

......

Next.

Chu Ge was summoned into the palace by Emperor Shunde.

Under the guidance of the chief manager, Chu Ge entered the imperial study and saw the deep-seated emperor again, but Chu Ge noticed that his master Zhuge Tao was also there this time.

"Humble Prince, I have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Shunde waved his hand and said: "Ge Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, you have made a great contribution on this trip." ”

Chu Ge said respectfully: "It is the blessing of the courtiers to share the worries of Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Shunde nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said: "Ge Aiqing has made a meritorious service this time, I naturally want to reward it, what needs Aiqing has, I will definitely meet it." ”

I want a Taoist saintess, I wonder if Your Majesty can reward her?

Chu Ge said: "Whatever Your Majesty rewards, the minister wants." ”

"Okay."

Regarding Chu Ge's modest attitude, Emperor Shunde seemed extremely satisfied.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Now that you are in the inspection courtyard, I will no longer give you an official position, but Yu Lu is equivalent to the master, and I will give you a golden sword." ”

Emperor Shunde waved his hand.

The chief eunuch took out a box more than four feet long from the hall and held it for Chu Ge to open.

Inside the box lay a long black knife with a gold wire handle.

The long knife is about one meter long, and the style is somewhat like the Tang knife in Chu Ge's previous life, which belongs to Chu Ge's favorite type of knife.

The blade is slender and straight, low-key and luxurious.

Wearing it on the body, it can definitely make your temperament rise to a higher level again.

Chu Ge took the long knife and couldn't put it down.

Emperor Shunde said: "This golden sword, is a weapon clan forging, sharp and undestructible, you are good to cultivate, if you can enter the second grade of martial arts, this knife may be able to psychic, become your martial arts soldier." ”

Chu Ge put away the long knife.

He bowed down and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the knife." ”

Emperor Shunde nodded, and said with a somewhat calm expression behind him:

"Call Ling and Zhuge Aiqing to come over today, and there are important things to be handed over to the two Aiqing."
