Early on the next morning, Ling Qingyu's convoy set off from Yanchi, and Meng Su escorted them all the way to Yinzhou before being driven back by Yang Zhao.

Looking back at Ling Qingyu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed because he had been traveling day and night, and then at the knight on horseback standing on the roadside looking at each other from a distance, Yang Zhao touched his chin, and then said to the outside: Thirteen, hurry up. speed.

When the group returned to Dai County, Fang Nianyuan also escorted 10 million taels of silver to Dai County safely, and accompanying him was Xiao Se, who threw herself into Ling Qingyu's arms and cried bitterly when she saw him.

You brat! You won't stop crying! Yan Qi took Xiao Se out of Ling Qingyu's arms and shouted.

What do you know? My sister and I have both lost the person who loves us the most, how can we not cry! Xiao Se glared at Yan Qi and wanted to pounce again, but this time Yang Zhao blocked him and turned around Asked Ling Qingyu: Who is this kid?

Xiao Se, why are you here? Ling Qingyu asked as he glanced at his front, which was already a ball of tears and snot.

Xiao Se wiped away her tears, looked at her legs standing on the ground, and then said: I heard that your leg was broken and that the third master died. I thought who could take care of you except me from now on, so I rushed here. , why don’t you go to Yueyang with me.”

Ling Qingyu held his forehead and sighed secretly, how come this kid still gets upset every time he speaks after so many years?

Boy, are you impatient for life? Ying Thirteen clenched his fists and said gloomily.

I'm here to discuss cooperation. Xiao Se immediately changed his face to a serious face, wiped away the snot and tears on his face with his sleeves, and said.

Most of the Xiao family's property had been transferred underground a few years ago. However, after Xiao Cang's death, Mrs. Xiao cooperated with the Murong family and handed over the list she knew to the Murong family. As a result, the Xiao family was in Jiangnan area. The property of the Murong family was robbed openly and covertly, and everything was robbed. In other areas, with the help of Xiao Rong and Xiao Shaojun, some properties in Jinghu Road, Jingxi Road, Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road were secured. However, Xiao Rong was also seriously injured by the Murong family. After Xiao Se came back this time, he passed away after giving him a clear account of the things. Although Xiao Shaojun, the iron guards and private troops of the Xiao family are still loyal to him, he is still young and somewhat unable to control himself.

Looking at the map of the Xiao family's industry that Xiao Se gave her, Ling Qingyu was speechless for a long time. The families that have been operating for hundreds of years are indeed different. No wonder they think those inns are somewhat similar. It turns out they are all owned by the Xiao family, and the store systems are very complete and the logistics are well done. Very good, the management is much better than the Ling family who started doing this. If these are just what is left after the Xiao family was plotted by the empress dowager, the emperor, and the Murong family, then how strong is the original Xiao family? ?

Seeing Ling Qingyu frowning and not speaking, Xiao Se also sat aside obediently, sipping tea.

Se'er, what are you going to do? After putting the things on the table, Ling Qingyu sighed softly, turned to Xiao Se and asked.

Hearing her title change, Xiao Se's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, Sister, can I merge these into the Ling family?

Xiao Shaojun, who was standing next to him, suddenly turned dark and looked straight at Ling Qingyu.

Kid, don't talk nonsense. Tell the truth, what do you want to do? Ling Qingyu patted his head and said.

Sister, your current business routes are mainly between Jiangnan and Shaanxi Hedong Road. The middle section is broken. If there is our Xiao family's business route, then your entire line from Jiangnan to Hedong Road will be opened. , isn't this a good thing for the Ling family? Xiao Se raised his head, and although he was smiling, his eyes were very calm and he said.

Ling Qingyu looked deeply at Xiao Se at this child. He was only twelve years old, but he already had such a keen eye, but he was still too young.

Then, what do you want? Ling Qingyu leaned back and asked.

I want revenge. Xiao Se's eyes turned slightly red, and the calmness in his eyes fluctuated, taking on strong hatred.

Who should I seek revenge from? The Murong family? Ling Qingyu asked calmly.

And that damn old woman and the Queen Mother! Xiao Se said with wide eyes.

The Queen Mother? Ling Qingyu chuckled and said: What strength do you have to say this? To seek revenge from the Queen Mother, is it just a matter of making a wooden figure and hammering it with nails?

We can do it together! Xiao Se looked at Yang Zhao with warm eyes and said.

Hmph, Ling Qingyu snorted coldly and said, Xiao Se, what you have learned after following Mr. Zhu for so many years have been fed to dogs? Wouldn't it be courting death to use the people of Heishui Pass to fight against the entire Zhou army? What's more, Why would someone die for a little kid like you?

Sister, this is not for me. If those dog officials find out about the Ling family in the extra story, do you think they won't do anything to you? As soon as Xiao Se said these words, his face began to turn pale, and he was overwhelmed by the sudden increase in murderous intent. He broke out into a cold sweat, then closed his eyes and said, I know, I won't say it.

Brother Shaojun, why don't you go out first. After wiping his sweat, Xiao Se said to Xiao Shaojun next to him who was also startled into a cold sweat.

After Xiao Shaojun went out, Xiao Se took a sip of water and said: Sister, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the extra story, and no one who comes back with me will talk nonsense. But sister, the secret can really last forever Keep it? The Chen family's ship has returned, and the spices it brought back are less than one-tenth of the Ling family's. Won't they notice? Unless you can really do what the teacher said and send all the other Zhou ships to the extravagant ship. It will be destroyed and other sea ships will not be allowed to reach Dazhou, but sister, you also know it in your heart, right? How long can this kind of thing be kept secret?

It can be hidden for a while, Ling Qingyu also took a sip of water and said: That damn old woman also played with me once. If you do something to her, I will be very happy to help. But for the Murong family, the Queen Mother, and The whole Great Zhou Dynasty is bleak, I have no such plan.

Seeing Xiao Se lower his head, Ling Qingyu said: The most important thing for you now is not how to take revenge, but how to integrate the power your father left to you. Even though your Xiao family has so much stuff, it is just a piece of loose sand now. If you can't even use your own power, how can you talk about revenge or cooperation?

I know, sister, I'm impatient. Xiao Se raised his head again and said with a smile on his face.

Remember one sentence, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You are only twelve years old and your wings are not full yet. How can you fight against such a powerful force? Ling Qingyu touched his head and said: You There is still a lot of time, and you must save your own life first. If you take action now, you may not even be able to save your life, so what does your father's humiliation and burden all these years mean?

Her face softened, and her tone returned to its previous gentleness. The mask that Xiao Se had put on suddenly cracked, and he couldn't help but threw himself into her arms again, crying: But sister, I hate you so much, I hate you so much!

I know, I know... Ling Qingyu said softly, gently stroking the trembling back of the boy in his arms. I know the pain of losing a loved one, and I have experienced that kind of hatred twice in this world.

Yang Zhao silently exited the study, glanced at Xiao Shaojun who was waiting in the yard, and then went to the front yard with He Li, Fang Nianyuan and others.

Although what Xiao Se said was unpleasant, it hit the nail on the head. Looking at the map Fang Nianyuan spread out, Yang Zhao remained silent for a long time.

General, let's send more people there. He Li couldn't help but said.

The Great Zhou Dynasty does not have a navy. Now Lingjia Village has started to build a large number of warships as the leader said. If the Great Zhou Dynasty or other countries want to attack Lingjia Village, it is probably impossible. Fang Nianyuan said.

If she's outside, no one can touch her, but only if she's outside. Yang Zhao said in a low voice: He Li, send another five thousand people to Gui Nianyuan to take command. After a pause, he said: I have already agreed with Qing Yu that when the situation here is stable, I will cut off one of my arms. , resign from this position and go with her.

He Li and Fang Nianyuan were both shocked. After a moment, He Li smiled and said, That's fine.

It's just that I'm afraid it will be hard on you when the time comes. Looking at He Li, Yang Zhao said apologetically.

He Li shook his head gently and said with a smile: How could it be? If there is a good seedling by then, I will train one to take over. At that time, I will find you again.

Then, where is Meng Su and Du Ming? Fang Nianyuan asked. When he came back this time, he realized that those two people had made such a big mess at Yinzhou Salt Pond. If Yang Zhao followed Ling Qingyu, then these men People definitely don’t want to stay in Dazhou.

Let's see then. If she is willing to go with her, she will be very happy. Yang Zhao said with a smile. Even if they have families and families, as long as they both withdraw from Da Zhou and pose no threat to those in power, then the others will have nothing to do with them and they can resign and become rich in any Ling family property.

Then I'll arrange the people first. There are five more ships coming out of Quanzhou this time, plus the ones that came back. There's no problem in pretending to be people. Fang Nianyuan said with a smile.

He Li, what's the matter? Yang Zhao asked with a serious expression after Fang Nianyuan left. As soon as he came back, he was blocked by Xiao Se. Although he felt that something was wrong with He Li's expression, he never had time to ask.

The Liao Kingdom and Dangxiang did not go to war, just some small-scale conflicts. We also sent spies to spread rumors, but there was no big movement on both sides. I always felt that there was a conspiracy. He Li frowned slightly ,road.

So Xiao Sui, what's the latest news? Yang Zhao looked at the sea map and asked.

He Li shook his head and said: There is no movement, I have been staying in Nanjing.

What Xiao Sui wants is the throne of the Liao Kingdom, and even the world. If he can't get the military merit for him to ascend to the throne with us, he will have to get it elsewhere. Let's find out how the son of the Dangxiang noble died. Yes. Yang Zhao said.

Yes. He Li responded and walked out.

There was no one else in the room, and it was so quiet that only her own breathing was left. Yang Zhao's fingers slowly brushed over the territory on the sea map. Such a vast area, the world she was in was so broad, and it was no longer limited. in this great week.

Early on the next morning, Ling Qingyu's convoy set off from Yanchi, and Meng Su escorted them all the way to Yinzhou before being driven back by Yang Zhao.

Looking back at Ling Qingyu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed because he had been traveling day and night, and then at the knight on horseback standing on the roadside looking at each other from a distance, Yang Zhao touched his chin, and then said to the outside: Thirteen, hurry up. speed.
