Chapter 300: Tangled
Capital Wharf
For the sake of safety, of course, it is impossible for the wharf to go directly to the capital, and even if it is the end of the canal, it is separated from Beijing by some distance, so as not to use the canal to carry out a surprise attack.
The former Wei war was in disrepair, some silted up, repaired after three years of life, the river is dozens of zhang wide, the water depth is more than zhang, it can enter the sea, and can be transported along the inland river.
Affected by this, there are many shops near the wharf, the scale is not inferior to a county town, and there are garrisons.
At this time, as soon as the sky was bright, it was already crowded with people, including people who followed Qin Cha Luo Pei out of Beijing, as well as relatives and friends who came to see him off.
Most of them came to Luo Pei, the Qin mission, but some of them came to Su Zi who went to Shun'an Mansion by boat.
Because Su Ziji is going to Shun'an Mansion, it is just along the waterway that Luo Pei is going to take, although he still has to walk a dry road after going ashore, but this waterway can go with Luo Pei.
They were all on official business, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites simply arranged to set off together.
The ceremony of sending off the Qin Cha on the dock was over, and the people of the Ministry of Rites withdrew from the music, and a few people were gathering in the middle to say goodbye, and a person who seemed to be a second-class official smiled and said: "Lord Luo looks older, and his complexion is fine, although the emperor is gracious and entrusted with important tasks, he also has to take care of his body." β
"I'm worried about Dong Xiang, I'm really uneasy!" Luo Pei listened with a smile and said something before pacing across the bridge and getting on the boat, his eyes still turning on Su Ziji.
Su Ziji is very busy at the moment, just now he had fun greeting with Luo Pei and Luo Pei's attachΓ©, after all, the road is far away, and it will take a long time to walk together, and it will always be possible to get by.
On the other hand, only Jian Qu and Cen Rubai were taken to Shun'an Mansion, and the Yedao people had to stay in the capital, on the one hand, they were taking care of Ye Buregret, and on the other hand, the situation in the capital had to be watched by someone, and it would be passed on to Su Ziji outside Beijing at any time.
This person is very important, choose someone else, Su Ziji is not at ease, only the wild Taoist can reassure him, and besides, some business matters are also the wild Taoist people are fully responsible, and they suddenly leave the wild Taoist people.
And the two foxes were also left behind, because they were all on official boats all the way, Su Ziji thought that the number of encounters with monsters and Taoists outside the capital would be more, and they would inevitably cause more trouble if they followed.
It's not that when I went to the southwest, I really needed the fox to find out the information, so it was better to stay and accompany Ye Buregrets.
One fox turned into two foxes, which really gave Su Ziji a headache, I wanted to find time to ask them what was going on, this looks like an acquaintance, how did you find it?
But after the Divine Decree came, he was too busy with other things, so naturally he couldn't take care of these things.
"I hope the two foxes are together and don't get into trouble. Rubbing his eyebrows, seeing that Jian Qu was directing a few people to carry a few boxes of things onto the boat, passing by himself, Su Ziji stood on the dock, and looked at himself in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see enough, and Ye Buregret, who was obviously very reluctant, could only stretch out his hand and pull her hair for her.
"Don't worry about me, the holy decree is very clear, that is, go to Shun'an Mansion and observe how the county is operating, and it will not take root there, at most a year, at least a few months to come back, it will not be too long. β
"There was no problem with safety. β
Unlike last time, now Su Zizhi has monopolized an official ship, and there are twenty soldiers on board, but not all of them are people who follow Su Ziji, and when they get off the boat, ten people will follow them to Shun'an Mansion to protect them along the road.
After Su Ziji finished speaking, he looked at the wild Daoist again.
The wild Taoist hurriedly said: "Lord, please rest assured, I will take good care of Madame!"
He also said: "I can continue to operate the business in Beijing, my lord, you take some of the silver tickets for emergency use, and if you are short of money, pass the book directly to me." I had a few more pairs of pigeons trained, and I had Jian Qu take three of them. β
Su Zi bowed his head, and finally nodded to Zhou Yao, who accompanied Ye Buregret, and said, "Miss Zhou, I will ask you to take care of me." β
At this time, several ox carts slowly arrived, and there was an inquiry.
"Princess, it's here. β
A girl's voice answered, and her snow-white fingers opened some of the curtains, and it could be seen that the dock was full of dense ships, more than half of which were passenger and cargo ships.
These ships set sail, or flowed into the sea along the river, or entered the canal in the opposite direction, and docked along a fixed route, which was very prosperous, but Princess Xinping was absent-minded and quickly locked the official ship.
Because the time stipulated by the holy decree was very tight, it was only given less than two days, and from the time she learned that this matter was coming to say goodbye, Princess Xinping was very hasty, and even changed her clothes at will.
As a result, I was awkward for a while, I didn't want the ox cart to pass, and I always felt that if I showed up to see him off, it would be like I had lost.
"Damn, why did my father drive him out as an observer and act as an agent?"
"Princess, it's all here, are you going over, or are you not going, can you think about it?" Seeing Princess Xinping let the ox cart stop in the distance, with a tangled face, Fang Zhen, who got off the ox cart behind, walked to her ox cart and asked speechlessly.
"Hey, wait, the fleet won't leave until a while, and I wonder if I'm going to go there. Princess Xinping fanned the wind with her hands irritably, and the grandmother and the palace maid on the side all looked at their noses, noses, mouths, mouths, and hearts, and no one dared to say anything.
"I'm gone, and my mother knows about it, will you blame me again?"
Because of the news was suppressed by the palace, at present, I only know that the mother concubine seems to have been reprimanded by her father for leaving the palace, Princess Xinping is very uncomfortable, and she has self-blame, chagrin and indignation.
If someone else went out of Beijing, she probably wouldn't have been able to send it away, but when she thought that it was the bastard Su Zi who had made a fool of herself and her mother who were unlucky to go out of Beijing, Princess Xinping felt that she had to come.
She thought to herself: "It's not a good errand to go out of Beijing, although I was awarded an official in advance, but I have just been named the champion, I have to go out of Beijing, or I have to go to such a remote place, I am afraid that I will have to suffer a lot...... Father is angry with me!"
Because of her complicated perception of Su Ziji, Princess Xinping is so entangled.
Fang Zhen didn't know the princess's entanglement, and he himself was also entangled, that is, should he leave the princess and go over to see Su Ziji?
But when I thought of the message I received when I came out, I knew that I couldn't.
Although he didn't dare to think about what the emperor thought, why did he care about the contact between Princess Xinping and Su Ziji, but he cared, why did he let Princess Xinping come to give it away, and if he let it go, why did he let himself come over to monitor?
Fang Zhen didn't think about it, but he didn't dare to think deeply, because as long as he thought about it deeply, he couldn't help but feel cold hairs standing on end, and his back was cold.
Fang Zhen couldn't wait for Princess Xinping to go home, but he also knew that he couldn't, he, the person who accompanied the princess, could only wait, waiting for her to make a decision.
Princess Xinping didn't dwell on it for too long, seeing that Zhou Yao was still there, Ye Buregret and Su Ziji were saying goodbye, she suddenly sighed in annoyance: "That's it, don't go up." β
I don't know why, Princess Xinping is always a little weak towards Ye Buregret.
