Chapter four hundred and eighty second return journey
From Zhongwei to the north is Xingqing Prefecture of Xia Kingdom. From Zhongwei to the south is Lanzhou Prefecture, which is not bad at all compared to the prosperous Xingqing Prefecture, and even has a more prosperous trade.
The Zhongwei, sandwiched between Xingqing Prefecture and Lanzhou Prefecture, is a place like a small town. To be precise, Zhongwei is more like a military town, a commercial and military supply land. There are many people coming and going, but the town is still not big, and you can even see it at a glance.
For Zhongwei, who is used to seeing large business travelers, no one will notice who you are, where you are, or what you are going to do.
In Ye Qing's view, the nature or taste of the town is closer to the taste of the big wazi in Lin'an City, Wulinmen and other commercial gathering places. The pedestrians coming and going seemed to have a slight taste of power, money and interests.
Outside the town, what can be seen are the barracks of different sizes. In the past few days, due to Xingqing City, the atmosphere full of money transactions in the Central Guard has become a bit solemn and nervous.
However, it was not affected too much by the incident in Xingqing City. The people still eat what they should eat and drink. When they encounter new business trips, they still show no mercy. They ask for the price everywhere.
Fortunately, after Ye Qing's 100 men entered the Central Guard, Wu Yong, a regular customer who was very familiar to Xingqing, Zhongwei, Shizuizi, and Lanzhou Prefecture. The inn shopkeeper who stayed even saw Wu Yong, was as happy and excited as if he had seen his relatives.
Ye Qing seemed to have not seen everything in front of him. After all, no matter what, he had to leave some of his majesty for Wu Yong.
Even if he knew that this place was secretly opened by the Imperial City Department, Wu Yong, as a Wu Jue, would naturally give great freedom when using it.
This trust and reassurance obviously also gave Ye Qing a great reward. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape safely and soundly from Xingqing Mansion so easily.
Although the inn shopkeeper did not know Ye Qing's identity, he saw that everyone was mainly Ye Qing, including Wu Yong, and his eyes would follow Ye Qing's every move, as if he was waiting for Ye Qing's orders at any time.
During the two days when Ye Qing and others moved into Zhongwei, several barracks outside Zhongwei were withdrawn from Xingqing Mansion to the camp. Obviously, these barracks were involved in the quell of Xingqing Mansion this time.
The next night, the judge finally slowly moved to the central defender, and then he was in the room with Ye Qing. The two of them had a secret conversation for more than an hour before the judge came out of Ye Qing's room.
Wu Yong still stayed in the Central Guard. After the news of Xingqing Mansion, there must be other things waiting for the Imperial City Office to continue doing. So when Ye Qing looked at Wu Jue, Wu Jue made the decision for his younger brother without hesitation.
On the fourth day, when I learned that Po Li San, Old Liu, Xu Qing and others had already begun to detour through the Central Guard. After entering Lanzhou, Ye Qing and others set off from the Central Guard on the fifth day and walked towards Lanzhou Prefecture.
When Wu Yong received a bullet, Ye Qing personally gave it to him. As for what the two of them said, even the martial judgment of his own brother was unaware of it.
However, Wu Zong knew one thing, that is, in the future, Wu Yong not only had to deal with the Xia people, but also with the Liao people, the people of Princess Chengli, and even the Shizuizi Ferry. Because Han Tuozhou arrived at Dasan Pass, all the goods delivered to Shizuizi were accepted by the Liao people.
But he didn't know what the Liao people used to exchange for, and Ye Qing didn't tell him, so this made him feel curious all the way after he set out from the Central Defense.
Seeing Wu Zong unable to help but want to ask, but forced himself to hold it back, Ye Qing on the horse's back led the 100 people gathered behind him again, and said lazily: "If you want to ask, ask, look at your virtue, and you will get sick."
"I just want to remind the commander that once we enter the territory of our Song Dynasty, will Han Tuozhou compete for credit with you?" Wu Zong asked with a quarrel.
"Even if you and I know it well, the court will pretend to be confused and remember the contributions of this mission to Xixia on Han Tuozhou. For me, as long as no one takes this opportunity to attack me, I will burn the incense." Ye Qing held the saddle with both hands and looked up at the sky in pain.
"I'm afraid that people who are closer to the Han family in the court, even those who want to curry favor with the Han family, will take the opportunity to ask for Han Tuozhou for his contributions, so you don't want to make merits but never make mistakes." Old Liu's sheepskin coat has not taken off yet. Even though he was sweating all the time on his dark forehead, Old Liu took off his arms, but he was still wearing thick clothes, and some areas were dark and shiny sheepskin coats.
"Did you borrow this sheepskin coat? What a god, you are still wearing it on your body, aren't you afraid of getting sick from heat?" Wu Punishment leaned forward and asked at Old Liu on the other side of Ye Qing.
"You kid knows nothing, you guys." Old Liu obviously didn't want to explain more on this topic, and replied to Wu Jue angrily.
"It depends on what Han Tuozhou thinks. If he takes away this great achievement with peace of mind, it would be better to say it. But if... once he gets polite to me, it will be difficult to deal with. This means that even Han Tuozhou is beginning to be on guard against the Imperial City Department." Ye Qing ignored Judgment Wu and Old Liu's bickering, although he was very curious whether Old Liu's sheepskin coat had any secrets that he could not tell.
Xu Qing looked up and down at the head of Old Liu beside him, and then his eyes were like a worm in Ye Qing's belly. Then he looked at the meaning that only men would understand: "Lao Liu, this sheepskin coat is not a token of love between you and a woman on the grassland, right? I remember that you bragged a few days ago, and the ladies on the grassland were so hot and strong, but they got up in bed with your old bones at noon."
Ye Qing smiled, and Old Liu's dark skin was not red at all, and he said badly: "Did he get up after the sun is at 3 o'clock, or is it get up because the sun is at 3 o'clock?"
Old Liu obviously didn't understand Ye Qing's teasing at the first time. After a moment of stunned expression, he realized that Ye Qing's joke was even more powerful and he was even more bastard.
So his dark and shiny cheeks were a little embarrassed, and he snorted coldly, took it out of the stirrup, kicked Xu Qing, who was smiling strangely beside him, and then turned his horse's head and ran to the back to talk to other ban soldiers.
After watching Lao Liu's departure, Prison Wu and Xu Qing smiled even more unrestrainedly, which naturally attracted the banned soldiers behind several people, and looked at Lao Liu's more embarrassed expressions one by one.
Lao Liu's dark cheeks became more and more embarrassed at this time, but fortunately, his dark and bright expression became serious, so he could scare the monarch behind him. Therefore, Lao Liu's black-faced could still shock the monarch's curious eyes.
Judgment Wu and Xu Qing also stopped teasing Lao Liu, and began to think about what Ye Qing said just now, would Han Tuozhou be polite to Ye Qing?
Ye Qing didn't know if Han Tuozhou would be polite to him. After all, he and Han Tuozhou were not familiar with each other yet, and they knew each other very well.
"What if he is polite?" Wu Zong asked first.
"You're welcome, then we have to be more careful in the future, but..." Ye Qing scratched his head, and since he stopped tying his dreadlocks, he was still a little uncomfortable, and then said, "But then, you will have some attention, but it's best to be able to be harmonious with Han Tuozhou."
Judgment Wu nodded in agreement. He also understood what Ye Qing meant. After all, after returning to Lin'an, the secret battle with the Maritime Bureau was about to begin.
"Then... the deal between us and the Liao people?" Wu Jue finally couldn't help but ask in curiosity.
"Horse, what else can it be?" Ye Qing replied to Wu Jue lightly.
Then Xu Qing and Wu Jue took a breath, and Xu Qing asked, "Horse? Cross the Xia Kingdom and enter the Song Dynasty? Is this possible?"
However, after Xu Qing asked, he seemed to realize something, and immediately turned his head to look at Wu Jue, who was suddenly enlightened. Wu Jue suddenly realized and said in surprise: "I understand, no wonder Han Daochong was dead with his whole family when he talked to me... No, his whole family was slaughtered by Ren Lei."
"That's natural. Han Daochong, a cunning thing, was like losing a piece of meat. He was reluctant to watch us get along with the Liao people and leave him behind. But it's a good thing for us. I can give you all the money Wu Jue wants in the future." Ye Qing looked comfortable. When he thought of Han Daochong's face when he was talking to Han Daochong, he felt inexplicably happy.
"So, not only the Xia people will trade with Wu Yong in the future, but the Liao people will also join in?" Wu Jue continued to ask.
"No," Ye Qing stroked his chin with one hand, and then thought, "Is it because I want to know what the west side of the Liao Kingdom looks like? Are there small countries standing together as before, or is there a powerful existence that threatens the Liao Kingdom at all times, so the Great Liao cannot wait to run east?"
"What you mean is that the west side of the Great Liao Dynasty would be a giant? Because of their strong western expedition, the Great Liao had to avoid the edge of the brilliance and wanted to return east?" This time it was changed to Xu Qing and asked.
"I don't know, so Wu Yong's contact with the Liao people, in addition to trade, is the most important thing to understand the west through the Liao people. What kind of existence and scene does it have in the place where we rarely have the opportunity to understand now?" Ye Qing asked at Wu Jue.
"Is this... too far away for us? What can we do if we understand...?"
