Reverse Junhou

Chapter 33 Watching the sea [1]

Seeing that the two fell silent at the same time, Zhu Liang didn't know what riddles the governor and His Highness the Fifth Highness were playing.

After a long while, it was Wen Xuechao who spoke first: "Shuai Zhu, I am entrusted by His Majesty, and I need to personally ask His Highness Fifth Highness about some matters. If I take His Highness back to the city for a few days, will it delay the Yandong Army's drill?"

"After His Highness returned to the camp, Wushou has indeed calmed down a lot. Mrs. Wu has taken a group of cronies to occupy Junliu Island, and there is no sign of sending troops at present." Zhu Liang said, "Master Wen can make arrangements with His Highness. However, the time should not be too long, if there is any movement from Wushou, His Highness needs to rush back to the camp as soon as possible."

Before Zhao Fengci could speak, Wen Xuechao replied one step ahead: "Your official will definitely not miss the military plane, and thank you Commander-in-Chief in advance."

Zhu Liang looked back and forth between the two of them, finally nodded, and said to Wen Xuechao: "Master Wen, Zhu has something to say, I don't know if it should be said or not. His Highness the Fifth Highness has been in Yandong for five years. I have always taken the lead and set an example. If there are any rumors about His Highness in the capital, or something that is not pleasant to listen to... I hope the Lord will find out and report the truth to His Majesty, and don't believe it lightly."

Wen Xuechao understands that General Zhu is knocking on the sidelines, and he is afraid that he will believe Ren Ji's remark that His Highness the Fifth Highness rebelled against the enemy, and use the governor's order to directly gain the right to listen to the heavens, which will put the Fifth Highness at a disadvantage.

He glanced at Zhao Fengci, cupped his hands to Zhu Liang and said: "Your Highness is so loyal, and naturally I will not be the one who chooses the Wu family."

"The ship has practiced a new formation for the past few days, so it's really inappropriate for me to leave the camp temporarily." The two rode out from the camp, and Zhao Fengci, who had been taciturn, suddenly spoke.

Wen Xue said with a cold face: "The Fourth Highness and Doctor Yang have returned to Yincheng. Doctor Yang said that he must give you a pulse diagnosis in order to find a way to detoxify."

"I have sent someone to tell my grandfather to send someone to northern Xinjiang to find the antidote—"

"Then let that poisonous woman stand on the sea and watch, not only does His Highness not tuck his tail to be a man after being poisoned, but he trains his troops day and night, waiting for the next day to attack?" Wen Xuechao said nothing.

Zhao Fengci paused: "Madam Wu is your biological mother."

Wen Xuechao was choked by Zhao Fengci's words, and did not speak for a long while.After the two got off the horse at Qilin Restaurant, he said, "I don't have such a mother."

The two walked into the room, Wen Xuechao closed the door and window, then stretched out her hand to untie her waist.

Zhao Fengci didn't expect Wen Xuechao to start undressing in front of him, his throat tightened, and he took a step back: "What are you doing?"

Wen Xuechao had just undone half of her clothes, when she turned her head, puzzled in her eyes: "This trip is going on a long trip, I want to change into lighter clothes."

Seeing that Zhao Fengci's expression changed slightly, he was a little puzzled: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Wen Xuechao's clothes were half off, most of her white back was exposed, and her black hair was hanging casually on her shoulders.But he didn't know it at all, so he stopped his hands and looked back at himself.

Zhao Fengci coughed lightly, and didn't look away from him: "I'll go lead the horse first."

He closed the door and hurried downstairs, the sound of hurried footsteps echoing in the corridor.

Wen Xuechao didn't recover for a long time.

A group of soldiers ate and slept together, and it was common for them to see each other sincerely in the military tent.It's just that two big men are in the same room, why is the Fifth Highness being ashamed?

Zhao Fengci thought that the two of them were going straight to Yincheng when they left the city this time, but they didn't expect Wen Xuechao to stop at the gate of a bank shortly after leaving the restaurant.

"Are there many people in Du Ling who can recognize His Highness's face?" Wen Xuechao asked.He changed into a plain silk dress, at first glance, he looked like an ordinary young master of a merchant family.

Zhao Fengci pondered for a while: "I didn't go to the city often, so not many people know me. But if there are Yandong sergeants on duty in the market, I'm afraid they can recognize me."

Wen Xuechao jumped off the horse, walked around the street market, and came back with a black fence in her hand. "I am a salt merchant who went south to Duling, so Your Highness pretended to be the bodyguard I invited." Wen Xuechao pointed to the bustling bank, "How deep is the root of Wushou in the east? Find out if you explore.”

The two walked into the bank one after the other. There were many merchants coming and going in the shop, and no one came forward to entertain them.Wen Xuechao bypassed the hustle and bustle of the crowd, walked straight to the exchange counter, and took out a cold gold note in his sleeve: "The shopkeeper, my name is Yang An, a salt merchant from Guangyang, who just arrived in Duling the day before yesterday. I hope the shopkeeper will do a good job." It's convenient, introduce me to the owner of the village."

Seeing the note, the shopkeeper of the bank even glanced at Wen Xuechao and Zhao Fengci who was behind him several times before saying "wait a moment" and hurried back to the backyard.After a while, the shopkeeper came back to the stage with a cold golden note, his expression became more serious: "Master Yang, my master invites you."

Hearing Wen Xuechao being called Master, the gauze on Zhao Fengci's forehead moved.Wen Xue turned her head, tilted her chin towards Zhao Fengci, gestured for silence, and followed the shopkeeper into the backyard.

The backyard is much cleaner than the front hall, a middle-aged man was sitting at the head, seeing Xue Chao and Zhao Fengci coming in, he hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Brother Yang, you are welcome from afar, and you are welcome from afar." The middle-aged man said enthusiastically, his eyes fell on Zhao Fengci who was covering his face with a veil: "Who is this?"

"It was the first time for Wansheng to travel far to do business. My father was worried about my safety on the road, so he hired a bodyguard with strong martial arts skills to escort me to the official salt." Wen Xuechao smiled warmly.

The man straightened his robe and sat up straight: "Master Wen...has he really approved Brother Yang's way of salting?"

Hearing the words "Master Wen", Zhao Fengci raised his eyes imperceptibly.

"My father has been doing business in Guangyang for many years, and we are close friends with the Wen family. This time, Master Wen gave my father an order, which means he trusts the goods of the Yang family. My father sent me here because he wanted to take this opportunity to make a deal with the owner. "

The middle-aged man couldn't hide his excitement between words: "How many officials have you approved this time?"

Wen Xuechao's face was full of secrets, and she stretched out four fingers: "Four thousand stones."

The man's hand holding the tea trembled a little. Seeing that there was no one around, he said in a low voice, "How much can you sell me, brother? If it can exceed [-]%, the price is negotiable."

Hearing this, Wen Xuechao showed a faint look of embarrassment. He sighed and said: "I wanted to leave most of the money to my master. But my father heard that the grandma in the sea has a big appetite. If her supplies are short, I'm afraid I will It will be difficult for this salt to travel by sea in the future.”

"My father asked me to honor Mrs. Wu fifty percent." Wen Xuechao's words were full of helplessness.

The middle-aged man's heart was half cold. If he gave Madam Wu [-]% and Ren Ji deducted [-]% as in the past, I am afraid that there would be very little left in his hands.

Seeing the sullen expression on the man's face, Wen Xuechao leaned forward slightly, and said in a voice that only the three present could hear: "However, I heard some rumors from the Wushou people."

"I heard that Mrs. Wu saw that Mr. Wen was old, and she was afraid that he would not have a good life for a few years. She cut off the relationship between the two families, so she hooked up with Mr. Wen's parents. If she negotiated with the eldest son, Mrs. Wu would turn a blind eye Turn a blind eye, maybe it can be convenient. I also heard that this eldest son holds the handle of Ren Junshou, and Ren Junshou can't do anything to him. If this statement is true, then we don't have to worry about Wushou On the other side of the county mansion, this salt road will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

"This..." The man was skeptical, "Brother Yang Xian, where did you hear this news, how true or false?"

Wen Xuechao raised the handle of the fan in his hand and patted his palms: "Isn't the master having contact with Mrs. Wu? Send someone to Wushou to inquire, and you will know the truth of this matter."

The middle-aged man seemed to be struggling in his heart for a long time, but he finally said, "Where can I find that Mr. Wenfu?"

"Recently, have you heard the news that the fourth son of the emperor went south to become king?" Wen Xuechao slowed down his voice, "I heard that Mr. Wen is in the East China Sea Palace."

Coming out of the bank, Wen Xuechao rode straight out of the city, Zhao Fengci followed closely behind him wearing a fence.Wen Xuechao didn't slow down until he walked dozens of miles out of the city gate: "Your Highness, is anyone still following us?"

"We were thrown away half an hour ago." Zhao Fengci glanced at him.

He wanted to ask Wen Xuechao many things, but his thoughts were churning in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak.

"Your Highness, is there any discomfort?" Wen Xuechao saw that his brows were slightly frowned, thinking that Fen Xinwan had flared up again, so he quickly turned his horse's head and came to Zhao Fengci's side.

"Private sale of official salt is already the norm in the Eastern Territory?" Zhao Feng asked him.

Wen Xuechao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly: "It's more than normal. The government and businessmen in the east have colluded to monopolize the salt roads for many years. Now in the entire Duling, it is difficult to find a thousand stones of private salt."

Zhao Fengci was silent. When he marched with Yandong, he passed several fishing villages along the coast.The fishing village faces the sea, and salt fields abound.However, the villagers have suffered from hunger and cold in recent years, and lack of food and clothing.He thought it was caused by successive years of wars, but he never expected that it was the collusion between wealthy businessmen and ministers who blocked the fishermen's livelihood.

The main culprits that caused the decline of the people's livelihood in the Eastern Territory were Wen Xuechao's father and biological mother.

"Why did you tell the owner of the bank that you were in the East China Sea Palace?" He asked again.

"If we want to completely solve the difficulties in the East China Sea, the people of the East China Sea need a reassurance. If Ren Ji can't do it, this person is already rotten from the bottom of his bones. From now on, the person who will lead the entire East China Sea can only be the King of the East China Sea." Wen Xuechao Said, "I went south to Duling as a governor, and I was visiting in disguise. If I used the status of governor directly, it would be inconvenient to move around in the future. But if I said that I was in the East China Sea Palace, the heads of the bank would think that I was four Your Highness. Fourth Highness is the king of the East China Sea, and even Ren Ji can do nothing to him. They think that I have a backer, so they will naturally let go of their guard and come and go with the palace in the future. If they come and go, they will fall into the trap one day."

"He has seen your real body, if he goes to Donghai Palace, how should you deal with it?"

"Your Highness forgot that Doctor Yang is still in the palace." Wen Xue blinked, "If someone really came to look for him, he is the son of Wen's parents."

Zhao Fengci heard the deep meaning in it, and the strategy of making a sound and attacking the west is all designed around the palace of the East China Sea.If the difficulties in the Eastern Territory are solved in the future, it will be the King of the East China Sea who will benefit.

Wen Xuechao wanted Zhao Yansheng to secure his position as the master of the East China Sea, so that he would have no worries.

"What is your purpose in coming to the Eastern Realm this time?" Zhao Fengci returned to his thoughts.Wushou Haikou, Duling County Mansion, and Wen's Business Road, the three of them affect the whole body.Now Wen Xuechao has calculated everything that should be calculated, even himself.

Zhao Fengci was upset.Everyone said that Huiji would be hurt. Whenever Wen Xuechao thought too much, he felt useless and couldn't protect him.

Hearing His Highness Fifth's question, he thought about it seriously.

The troubles in the Eastern Territory began with the chaos of war, and the Wushou pirates had to be eradicated.The suffering of the common people begins with traitors, and Ren Ji needs to kill them.As long as the business is not abandoned, the national treasury will be withered and empty.If Zhao Yansheng is not firmly seated as the king of the East China Sea, how will he guard the country for His Highness in the future.

Wen Xue smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for five years, I'll come and see you."
