Bianjing.

Palace.

"Emperor! Emperor! There's news! ”

Early in the morning, Wang Huaien trotted all the way to Funing Palace.

It's rare to take a break today, and you don't have to go to court to be shouted by this.

Get! No need to sleep!

Who understands the pain of beating workers?

Zhao Jun got up helplessly, sat on the seat and drank tea after washing up and asked, "What is the news?" So much so that it makes you excited like this? ”

Wang Huaien hurriedly said there: "Your Majesty, didn't you let the secret guards check those eight families before?"

The Dark Guard has found a clue! ”

Zhao Jun's action of drinking tea was suddenly paused, and his face became solemn.

Putting down the teacup, Zhao Jun asked, "What did you find out?" ”

Wang Huaien immediately replied:

"After you gave the order, the slave maid immediately asked the secret guard to focus on the eight families, which was nothing, but recently, for some reason, the actions of the eight families suddenly became bigger, and all kinds of gold and silver were frequently transferred.

They seemed to be raising money, so much so that the Wang family accidentally showed up on the market some of the materials that had been robbed in that village, and they hadn't cleaned up the source yet.

The secret guard found out about the Wang family through this thing.

Immediately following this line, the secret guards found out that their goods were received not long ago, and the time happened to be after the Huns left the customs.

Later, we followed the guys of the Wang family who specialized in handling these goods, and found that they actually crossed the pass defense against the Qingshan Plateau close to the east of the river to the grassland. ”

"Aoyama Plateau?"

Zhao Jun immediately got up and came to the study of Funing Palace, where there was a map of the northern border guarding, Zhao Jun looked all the way along the entire map of the border, and sure enough, he saw that there was a plateau standing there in the southeast and west directions of the river.

It is precisely a blank space at the border gates.

But there's a reason for that.

Since the highest altitude of the Qingshan Plateau has reached nearly five thousand meters, even if it is close to three thousand meters on average, the Song people will have altitude sickness as soon as they go there, even the Huns cannot avoid it, so the imperial court did not pay much attention there, and only set up a small military fort of less than fifty people to keep an eye on.

I didn't expect the eight families to transport materials outside the customs through here?

But...... It is the Qingshan Plateau with an average altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, not to mention pulling the goods up and down, it is the altitude sickness of the Qingshan Plateau, how they overcame it, this is a mystery!

Zhao Jun threw out his question, and Wang Huaien immediately explained: "According to the investigation of the Eight Great Families, it seems that they have developed a medicine that can immunize altitude sickness, so that their guys will not have that kind of fatal reaction.

And their business route is very secret, although it is also in the Qingshan Plateau, but they are the lowest point of altitude, just need to be careful to pass, basically there will be no accidents.

The Dark Guard is already investigating the doctor who provided them with the medicine, and it won't be long before there is news. ”

Wang Huaien knew his own emperor and knew that the emperor would definitely be interested in this medicine, so he arranged for the secret guard to investigate early.

Sure enough, Zhao Jun was very satisfied after hearing this, and then said: "Then what's going on with letting the eight families show their feet recently?" ”

Wang Huaien frowned and thought for a while, "The slaves and maids feel like they are preparing for an escape. ”

"Run!"

Zhao Jun's eyes froze, and when he understood something, he immediately said: "I'm afraid that your actions have made them find out the clues, so immediately order them to go down and let the border pass cooperate with you, and they will block everyone and prevent them from escaping."

A few days ago, Huo went to Bing's side to hear that he had begun to clean up the entire Xiongnu tribe along the border grassland.

When they come back from the grassland, they will escort the heads of the eight families to Beijing! ”

"No!"

Wang Huaien nodded and retreated, looking at the autumn leaves withering outside the window, Zhao Jun's eyes slowly narrowed.

"I killed thousands of people, and now I want to run away when I realize that something is wrong? Your dreams are so beautiful! ”

"Don't even think about running!"

……

"Hurry up! The head of the house said, we will go to the foot of the green mountain before dark! Someone has already been arranged to pick us up, everyone work harder! ”

Less than fifty miles away from Qingshan, a huge convoy was slowly moving forward, and the eight luxury carriages in the convoy were unusually conspicuous.

Suddenly, the curtain of a carriage was opened, and the boy in a brocade dress lifted the curtain and stood on the wheel, looking at the endless wilderness and said dissatisfied:

"It's been almost five days, how long will it take for us to reach the foot of the green mountain?"

The subordinate who drove the car hurriedly comforted: "Young master, go back and rest first, at most we can arrive before dark today." ”

Brother Gongzi shook his head: "It's been a few days of rest, and the bones are about to fall apart, let people go find me a horse, I won't take a car!" ”

"This ......"

The man was a little hesitant.

However, Brother Gongzi's eyes widened, and the next person hurriedly called someone to prepare to go.

After the people went to prepare, the subordinate couldn't help but persuade: "Young master, why do you want to come out and ride a horse in this wilderness to suffer, if you encounter a robber or something, I won't even have a place to block you with an arrow without saying a word." ”

When Brother Gongzi heard this, he slapped the back of the man's head and scolded:

"You kid cursed young master, am I? Believe it or not, young master, I'll let you bury you here now?! ”

The subordinate hurriedly shut up, he knew that his young master was not joking, his young master has always had a hot temper, usually like a noble son, but when he is angry, no one can come.

There are many subordinates who don't know it because they provoked the young master, and they didn't survive the next day.

Brother Gongzi's surname is Fan, his name is Fan Qing, and he is the second son of Fan Fa.

This time, in order to prevent their families from being targeted by the imperial court, each family sent out their second son and asked them to detour to the grassland to Nanyang.

As for the sister-in-law in the family, it is to be kept, once nothing happens, the son-in-law will inherit the family property, and who knows if there will be an accident all the way to Nanyang, naturally the sister-in-law cannot be allowed to take this risk.

The final result is naturally that this group of wastes in the family who have no inheritance rights and only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long are sent out.

Fan Qing was very resistant to this, he was originally eating, drinking, and having fun in Daliang City as a waste, and he didn't know how comfortable his life was.

It turned out to be good now, and I was sent to eat sand in this wilderness!

I will soon have to pass through the Qingshan Plateau, which is said to be uninhabited for hundreds of miles.

Where would he like it!

However, it is not up to him to decide.

The biggest advantage of being a waste is that you are old, and you don't have much ability.

And the consequence of this is that he has no ability and right to resist the arrangement of his family.

In the end, under the tears of his mother, he said goodbye to Xiaohong Xiaocui and Xiaohuang Xiaozi in Yihong Building, and followed the unlucky people of the other eight families to ride the convoy to the unknown.

But the journey had only just begun, and he couldn't stand it for less than five days.

Staying in the carriage all day without seeing the light of day, he had already panicked, so he came out to breathe a sigh and decided to get a horse to run.

Before he could get on the horse, the curtain of another luxurious carriage next to him was lifted.

A tall and thin man with a gloomy face walked out, and this person was the second son of the Wang family, Wang Yong.

is different from his father Wang Ku, this kid is not like the Wang family at all, the Wang family is all fat, but this kid is thin and tall, so he is not loved by Wang Ku, and he is like an outsider in the Wang family.

As soon as Wang Yong came out, he saw Fan Qing waiting for the horse in the carriage next door, and after being a little surprised, he smiled and said:

"Fan Qing, what's the matter? Can't sit still either? ”
