Southland

The Chen family received the news from Chang'an, saying that the letter had been handed to the emperor, and the Qin Cha and his party had already left Chang'an.

The few core members of the Chen family who knew about this were very excited and felt that the Chen family was going to make meritorious contributions.

They felt that when this matter was over, the Son of Heaven would definitely reward them for the Chen family.

didn't know that the credit of their Chen family had been completely stolen by Xie Zhan.

At this time, Xie Zhan, who was at home, also received a secret letter.

Because of the rain, he recently came to Chen's Mansion every other day.

But when the Chen Mansion received the news, they did not send anyone to inform him.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhan smiled slightly, but the smile was a little cold.

He closed his eyes, silently reviewed his entire plan in his mind, and found that there was nothing missing, before he opened his eyes and exhaled slowly.

He knew that he could start the next step, which was another key point in the big picture, and all the foreshadowing was already in place.

That night, he stayed in the study and did not return to his room.

This night, Chen Jin, who was messing around outside, occasionally glanced at an acquaintance. Looking at the man's fleeting side face and familiar figure, he was completely excited, and immediately left his fox friend and dog friend to follow.

When he confirmed his guess, he immediately went home and knocked on the door of his father's study.

The next day, the rain was still pouring down.

In the study of the Chen Mansion, Chen Jiaye and Chen Jiayu discussed things inside.

Chen Jiaye asked with concern, "Are you sure it's Xue Guangxian?" ”

Chen Jiayu nodded, "I sent someone to see it, it should be him." He lived in a humble dwelling at the foot of Fugenji Mountain for pilgrims to rest. ”

Chen Jiaye muttered, "It's the place he will choose." It should be that he is back. ”

Recently, they learned that it turned out that Xue Guangxian was able to escape from their Chen family three years ago, and it was Ji Wuyin who secretly helped Xue Guangxian, so that he was able to leave the south smoothly.

And he recently got gossip again, saying that Ji Wuyin went on a long trip a few days ago, and the place he went to was Liaodong County.

Therefore, Chen Jiaye guessed that Xue Guangxian was very likely to come back, and he should have wanted to go back to the slang gathering place to have a look.

"Big brother, what should we do next?"

"Meet him!"

"Okay."

Chen Jiaye looked at Chen Jiayu and said, "Bring more people." Three years ago, he caused huge losses to the Chen family, and we must let him plug his wings this time. ”

"Good!"

The brothers looked at each other with an intriguing look in their eyes.

So the Chen family began to mobilize a large number of people, and Chen Dashao and Chen Yu were responsible for this matter.

Chen Jin had been paying attention to the movements of the main courtyard, and when he saw that his father was mobilizing manpower, he hurriedly ran to indicate that he was going out with him!

Chen Jiaye agreed without much thought, young people should exercise more and beat more, besides, he and his second uncle are still watching from the side.

Mrs. Chen on the side was very worried, "It's been raining today, can't you go out another day?" "Mrs. Chen is very panicked today, she doesn't want her husband to go out.

"I can't." After speaking, Chen Jiaye left.

It's been three years, Xue Guangxian appeared in the southland for the first time, and it is estimated that he is returning to the gathering place of the slang tribe through the road, and he will not stay in the southland for too long. His whereabouts were discovered this time, and if he was not caught, the chances of the next time were slim.

Mrs. Chen watched as her subordinates held an umbrella for him, and they walked quickly to the side of the carriage and boarded the carriage.

Not long after, a group of more than a dozen carriages began to move forward, gradually disappearing into the rain.

The rain is still falling and shows no signs of getting lighter.

The movement of the Chen Mansion to mobilize manpower was very large internally, but on a rainy day, it covered up their movements, and outsiders did not know.

Only Xie Zhan silently made people pay attention to the movements of the Chen Mansion, and as soon as they went out, it didn't take long for Xie Zhan to receive the news.

Chen Jiaye and Chen Jiayu were fooled, and Xie Zhan was not surprised at all.

First of all, the grievances between the Chen family and Xue Guangxian are deeply involved: secondly, the Chen family is too greedy.

For Xue Guangxian, the Chen family is actually secretive, and a lot of information related to it is blocked.

He checked the past information and found that Xiao Zhuya Island was torn back by Xue Guangxian for the Chen family, and Chen Jiaye actually looked at another fertile field at that time, and it was Xue Guangxian who strongly asked him to choose Xiao Zhuya Island.

Now that gold mines have been discovered on Xiaozhuya Island, Chen Jiaye and others will inevitably think more, whether Xue Guangxian has long seen that there is a gold mine on Xiaozhuya Island, so he insisted on this small island in the first place. Does he have some special way of discovering gold?

Even if they don't think much about it, he will lead them in this direction.

Xie Zhan believes that as long as they find out that Xue Guangxian has returned to the south, new hatreds and old grievances, plus huge interests involved, it will be difficult for Chen Jiaye and the others not to be moved.

At this time, the next person came to report, "Patriarch, the little lady has sent someone to ask, are you ready here?" ”

The look on Xie Zhan's face was a little cold, "I'll go over now." ”

Chen Baozhu was very happy to see Xie Zhan, she held her unpregnant belly and asked with a smile, "Can we go out?" ”

Xie Zhan persuaded her, "It's raining today, let's go to Fuxian Temple another day, okay?" ”

"No way!" After Chen Baozhu finished speaking, he found that his tone was too tough, and said softly, "Didn't we say that we would go to Fuxian Temple today?" Today's day is good, and I'm going to make a vow, how can I reschedule? ”

What's more, it's just a little rain, even if there is a knife in the sky, she has to go!

"You're pregnant, and it's easy to slip on rainy days."

Chen Baozhu is a stubborn person, if she is tough, the more others don't let her do, the more she has to do it.

Chen Baozhu shook his head stubbornly, "I just want to go today." ”

At the same time, she may be particularly emotionally sensitive because of her pregnancy. When Zhao Yutan was pregnant before, her husband accompanied her to incense and ask for peace. Now it's her turn to accompany her to Fuxian Temple, but she pushes back.

She felt very aggrieved in her heart, "Husband, will you go today?" It shouldn't rain all the time, maybe it will stop when we get there? ”

Xie Zhan looked helpless, "You can go if you want to." ”

The Lu family

In the rain, the subordinates of the Lu family prepared the carriage according to the instructions of the eldest lady Lu Fei, and the servants who were in charge of the gatekeeper quickly removed the side door threshold, and then pushed the side door open.

There were people standing outside the gate in the rain to intercept the passing pedestrians and carriages, and at a glance, they knew that someone from the Lu family was going out.

At this time, Lu Xihua happened to come back from outside, and his entourage was trying to call people aside so that they could let the carriage in.

was stopped by Lu Xihua, "The carriage pulls over, let's wait!" ”

In this posture of going out, there is no one else in the family except for those few. He was curious, who would go out at this time?

"Eldest Prince, this is the carriage used by the eldest lady in private." The eldest lady did not use her carriage engraved with the family crest.

Lu Xihua snorted, "This slut! Then he looked at the carriage that was gradually moving into the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, Lu Fei still went out on a rainy day? It can't be a private lover, right?

"Keep up!"

"Great!"

Recently, Lu Xihua has hated Lu Fei, the sister-in-law. If he just ignored Lu Fei, the eldest sister born by his mother-in-law, before, then what this eldest sister has done recently has really offended him.

Recently, she has been giving him eye medicine in front of her father, and often finds fault with him, so that he has been blamed and scolded by his father recently.

He can even feel his father's disappointment in him sometimes, and to put it mildly, it's all caused by Lu Fei, a slut!

"Did you keep up?" Lu Fei asked.

"The eldest prince is following."

The sky was clear here in Liaodong County, Qin Sheng said goodbye to his family, said goodbye to his daughter-in-law, put on a small baggage, stuffed a small bag in his arms, and went out.

Xue Xu: "Prepare the carriage." ”

Qin Sheng glanced at him, "What kind of carriage to prepare, take the waterway!" He secretly said in his heart, accompany you to the southland, who will take a carriage slowly?!

"I don't go by water."

Qin Sheng despised him, and he was afraid that he would die like this, which was enough.

"Don't worry, even if it's dangerous, I won't let you braid."

Xue Xu looked at him suspiciously, although he has always been lucky, but if a landlubber falls into the water, there should be only one end, right? He's lucky, and he can only make him look better in death, right?

At this time, they happened to pass by a lake with an extremely deep draft.

"Wait."

Qin Sheng looked left and right, and found that there were few people around early in the morning, he didn't say a word, just put the burden aside, and as soon as his clothes were taken off, the person jumped up and plunged directly into the water.

Xue Xu: ......

Not long after, Qin Sheng emerged from the bottom of the water, and he was still holding a turtle in his hand!

Xue Xu: !!

"When did you learn to swim?" Wasn't this a landlubber before? Jealous, he also learned to swim, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Qin Sheng said proudly, "What's so difficult about this? "This swimming water was refined by him in the interval between Fang County and Anshi to suppress bandits. He had a little water before, but he also knew that the sea and the canals were not the same as the small pools.

Xue Xu looked at the turtle that had shrunk into a ball in his hand, even the turtle was caught by him, how deep did he dive?

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time, take the waterway!"

This turtle is good, the meaning is good, the turtle returns, and the turtle means longevity, right.
