The most unlucky crossing in history

"what on earth is it?!"

In the back garden of Zhong Qiyun Xunyang Chengfeng Station, Zhong Qiyun frowned and asked Li Guanshi of Xunyang Chengfeng Station.

Last night, he, Jiang Sicheng, and a group of more than fifty people rushed to Xunyang, but the road was unimpeded when they entered the city. They planned to take a short rest and change some horses at Xunyang Chengfeng Station, and then immediately set off for Jingzhao. Unexpectedly, after changing the horses and resting for only two hours, this Xunyang City will never be able to get out again.

The guards outside the gate only said that it was an order from above that no one could leave the city or enter the city.

It had been delayed for a long time, and at that time he was blocked on the way to Jingzhao, and Zhong Qiyun, who was already eager, became angry in an instant.

Xunyang Chengfeng Station only opened for business in the middle of this year. This steward Li has been working for only half a year. He was originally the housekeeper of a merchant in Xunyang. Fortunately, He Minqing appreciated and hired him to be the steward of this Chengfeng Station. It was a very good job for him.

For Li Guanshi, he had heard the name of his boss countless times, but he had never actually met him, but he didn't know that he didn't do well what was arranged during the first meeting.He didn't know what kind of temperament this young looking Zhong Dongjia had. Seeing Zhong Qiyun's frowning and extremely serious expression now, even though he usually laughed and talked about the rumors in this Xunyang, and dealt with things indifferently, now he became frightened.

"Boss, although Xunyang is regarded as a fortress connecting the capital, it is really a small town. Li's family has grown up here for generations. They have never heard of the closure of Xunyang for so many years, and they have not heard of the closure of the city recently. The sound of the wind... I don't know what happened to the road this night."

Zhong Qiyun saw that Guanshi Li responded with sincerity and fear, and knew that his expression was terrifying. He had hardly ever been so angry before, and he didn't mean to find trouble with Guanshi Li deliberately. Zhong Qiyun still trusts the person Minqing personally sought out. He is so angry now because he thinks that Jingzhao may change drastically, but he doesn't know about it, and he is even trapped in this place far away from Jingzhao and Xie Wenyuan. land.

If it really happened to Xie Wenyuan... Although his reason told him that Xie Wenyuan would not be defeated so easily, he was still afraid, even if there was only a one-in-a-billion chance of it happening.

It will only be like this when encountering Xie Wenyuan...

Thinking in this way, Zhong Qiyun took a deep breath, waved his hands at Li Guanshi, and said, "Forget it, these

There is no need to say anything, and I am not targeting you, Guanshi Li..."

As he said that, Zhong Qiyun pondered for a while, then turned his head and said to Jiang Sicheng who was on the side: "Then, brother Jiang, you can lead someone out to investigate. If you find out any news, it would be great, let people immediately Come to report, if there is no clue at the time of application, then come back, there is no need to investigate again."

Knowing that Zhong Qiyun had plans in mind, Jiang Sicheng nodded: "Jiang will do his best."

Li Guanshi next to him heard the words, and quickly said: "Boss, how about letting my capable subordinate Zhang Ping and Jiang Shaoxia go together, he is very familiar with various news points in Xunyang."

Zhong Qiyun nodded: "Alright, brother Jiang, you can take him with you."

"Yes!"

Jiang Sicheng left, but Zhong Qiyun couldn't sit still. He thought about many possibilities in his heart, thought about what to do in order to leave Xunyang if he couldn't find out the news, and pondered various countermeasures.

Fortunately, things were not too bad, Jiang Sicheng led the people back before the application time.By the way, he brought the news that Wei Hechao made people close the city.

After listening to Jiang Sicheng's words, Zhong Qiyun said slowly: "That is to say, Wei Hechao ordered Xunyang to be blocked because he was afraid that Xie Wenyuan's southwest and southeast forces would go north?"

Jiang Sicheng nodded: "That's right. The city guards said that Wei Hechao issued an order overnight that 5000 soldiers under him will arrive in the north of the city tonight."

"It just so happened that we were unlucky enough to be trapped in Xunyang at this time?"

"..." Jiang Sicheng didn't respond, it was acquiescence.

Zhong Qiyun was almost about to be laughed out of anger, really, he had seen it through, and God wouldn't take a good stand on his side.

Zhong Qiyun shook his head and laughed twice, "Forget it, as long as you don't bother us on purpose, then everything will be easy to talk about."

But thinking about it, Wei Hechao now has to face Xie Wenyuan and the present prince. He might not be able to deal with Xie Wenyuan alone, so how can he have time to "take care" of the five or sixty people in his Zhong family fleet?

Thinking in this way, Zhong Qiyun asked Li Guanshi who was staying here with him: "Is Guanshi Li familiar with the parents and officials in Xunyang?"

Li Guanshi responded quickly after hearing the words: "Chengfeng Station and Lord Min often come and go."

Zhong Qiyun nodded, and said again: "Then, Master Min, how does he usually 'behave'?"

When Zhong Qiyun asked such a question, of course Guanshi Li would not be so stupid as to think that Zhong Qiyun was asking about this person's character, so he understood in his heart, and replied: "It is said that Mr. Min has always obeyed orders and Prime Minister Wei.

Extremely loyal, in the past, I often went to 'walk' around Mr. Min's house, and Mr. Min always smiled every time. "

Ever since he was with Xie Wenyuan during those days, Zhong Qiyun didn't know what method Wei Hechao used to make these people "loyal"?Such loyalty is easy to come by, and it is easy to collapse.

Zhong Qiyun smiled when he heard the words, "Speaking of which, we haven't paid a visit all day long..."

Li Guanshi replied: "Yes, I'll go and prepare now."

When they left, Zhong Qiyun took out a beautiful sapphire top ring about one inch in size from his pocket and put it on, and changed into a magnificent and splendid gown.

Finally, in the middle of the night, before the [-] soldiers under Wei Hechao arrived, Zhong Qiyun and more than [-] people left safely from the northwest gate of Xunyang City and set foot on the road north.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhong Qiyun recalled what had happened at Min Chongzhi's mansion just now, and laughed. Before he could say anything, Master Min looked at the gem ring on his hand, and praised him straight away, although he This is the desired effect.

Jiang Sicheng, who was riding with him, also saw that face, and said rarely: "All of your subordinates are such greedy people, so even if Wei Hechao becomes emperor, he will not be able to stabilize the country."

"Whether it is stable or not is another matter. If it is for the good of the people, God really should not allow this person to be enthroned, otherwise the people will suffer in the end."

It's been a long time working with Zhong Qiyun. Jiang Sicheng really doesn't often hear Zhong Qiyun talking about political affairs, even though Zhong Qiyun and Xie Wenyuan get close.

Jiang Sicheng looked at Zhong Qiyun who said this, and couldn't help but think of the night in Shendulaha's pirate lair... He suddenly wanted to ask Zhong Qiyun what he would do if Xie Wenyuan had the same intention as Wei Hechao.But in the end, he swallowed the words again. After all, these are Zhong Qiyun's own affairs, and he has no right to intervene. What's more, as far as he knows, Xie Wenyuan is the one who can take care of the flooded people at this critical moment. It is different from Wei Hechao.

When he spoke again, he discussed with Zhong Qiyun about going north to the city, "This official road is the only way to enter Beijing. Mr. Zhong's family, if we go on this road, we will definitely meet soldiers from Wei He Dynasty."

Zhong Qiyun nodded: "Indeed, but at night there are not enough roads and we are looking for small roads. If those soldiers find out, I'm afraid they won't be able to walk."

Jiang Sicheng also meant this, "Yes, the path must be impossible to walk at this moment, but there is one thing I need to remind Mr. Zhong,

The leading general named Luo Huan mentioned by Mr. Min just now was the one who reported my father Jiang Zhen's defection in the court. "

It was the first time that Zhong Qiyun was slightly shocked when he heard Jiang Sicheng mention his family affairs. Although he did not go to investigate privately, he could tell from Xie Wenyuan's attitude that time that this person's identity must not be simple. Guessing that this person's family should have some connection with Xie's family, he is acquainted with Xie's family, and has Xie Wenyuan's rare trust, so it may be related to the army.

But he didn't expect that he was the son of Jiang Zhen.Jiang Zhen and Zhong Qiyun knew that the general under Xie Cheng died many years ago when he suppressed the pirates in the southeast, and there were rumors that he actually defected with an oriental woman.

The fact that Jiang Sicheng could tell him this meant that he really treated him as a friend.Thinking of this, Zhong Qiyun said: "Brother Jiang can give to Zhong, Zhong is grateful."

Jiang Sicheng shook his head: "I don't think these things are any secrets. Mr. Xie must be very clear about it. Brother Zhong never inquired out of respect, and let him go in and out with the boat. I should be thanking you." After Jiang Sicheng said this, he stopped talking about these bitter words, and only said: "As for the matter of father, Jiang left home for more than ten years after his mother passed away. That person is a defector, and I will not excuse him here, nor will I deliberately smear others because of this matter, but Luo Huan is indeed a narrow-minded and vengeful person. He will definitely be investigated. I look quite similar to my father, so he must recognize me. If he doesn't see me, he's afraid that something else will happen. In this way, Jiang can only find the way by himself. "

Zhong Qiyun frowned when he heard the words, thought for a while and said: "But if you find another way, if these sergeants find out, I'm afraid they will make use of the problem and say that you look suspicious and seek trouble from you."

Jiang Sicheng smiled when he heard the words: "You don't have to worry about this hour, I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and I still have some skills. I will definitely avoid this person and rush to meet you."

"Then... Brother Jiang, why don't you take a few people and leave together."

Jiang Sicheng shook his head: "That's not necessary, the more people there are, the harder it is to hide."

Zhong Qiyun thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Brother Jiang, be careful in everything."

"nature."

Another half an hour after Jiang Sicheng left, Zhong Qiyun and his party really encountered marching cavalry on the road.

From a distance, he ordered the caravan to walk to the side of the road and give way in an orderly manner.

Even so, it does match what Jiang Sicheng said, Luo Huan

Indeed, the soldiers around him did a search.

Zhong Qiyun didn't hide his identity, he only said that the goods would go north, and he also offered a contract with a merchant surnamed Nie in Tongchuan Prefecture, north of Jingzhao City.

Luo Huan saw that the contract certified by the government had not been falsified, so he carefully looked at the owner of the Zhong family who had become famous in the world in recent years, and when he returned the contract to Zhong Qiyun, he sneered and said, "Boss Zhong is really a busy man. He said that he was busy transporting goods for disaster relief, but in just a few days, he rushed to the northern city-state again, and he really lived up to the name of the Chengfeng Post, flying over like riding the wind."

Zhong Qiyun shook his head when he heard the sound and said bitterly: "There is no other way. Zhong never thought that such an accident would happen. The fleet is really short of manpower, so he can only deliver the goods himself."

Luo Huan snorted and laughed, and after the other soldiers came to report that there was nothing suspicious, he stepped on his horse and said to Zhong Qiyun who was dismounting: "I don't know if Boss Zhong can send me something to the family in Yanzhou someday." Let Luo feel the feeling of riding the wind."

Zhong Qiyun hurriedly said: "Naturally, the Zhong family's fleet will definitely be on call for General Luo's affairs."

In this way, Luo Huan led the army away with a smile.

After the five thousand soldiers had gone far away, Zhang Sheng who saw General Luo couldn't help but joked, "Brother Zhong, do we really want this general to be on call at that time?"

Zhong Qiyun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That's natural, as long as General Luo's money arrives, our Zhong family will be there whenever we are called."

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the caravan laughed.

One person said loudly: "Zhang Sheng's words are wrong. How can our boss be on call for General Luo? The only one who can make him be on call is the future proprietress, isn't it?"

People who only thought that Zhong Qiyun and Xie Shangshuling were close friends and had some conflicts of interest said with a smile: "Old Wang, this is not strict, isn't our master always on call for Mr. Xie?"

Another boatman who often followed Zhong Qiyun also said with a smile: "Yes, yes, but in the future, when our fleet, caravan, and Chengfeng Station spread all over the country, there must be only the proprietress."

Seeing that these topics went off the rails, Zhong Qiyun straightened his complexion and said, "Okay, just kidding, let's hurry up and get to Jingzhao before dawn."

"Got it!"

The author has something to say: I have been waiting for a long time, thank you for not giving up on me.
