The weather in England in September is the best, it's not hot or cold, it's very pleasant. A few chrysanthemums bloomed in the small courtyard on the corner of the county mansion, which added a touch of autumn.

Zhu Weili was sitting at the desk of the book, looking at the ten thousand words carefully, and sighed again, Cheng Jia, genius! What a pity!

"Sir!" Lu Yao hurriedly walked in from outside the house and said, "Let's go."

Zhu Weili sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I will talk to the princess king again. If it doesn't work, let's go."

"Today, there are more guards outside the courtyard. I'm afraid the princess won't listen to you." Lu Yao said, before he finished his words, the epee in his hand was unsheathed and turned around to protect Zhu Weili behind him.

A figure appeared in front of the door like a ghost, the whole body was close in black, and his face was also covered with a black scarf. The pair of eyes exposed outside were extremely beautiful, but with a sharp chill.

"Eleven?" Lu Yao exclaimed in a low voice, pulled him into the house, and then closed the door.

"Mr. Zhu!" Ye Shiyi took off his scarf and said, "The master has already passed through England. He wants to board the boat from Guangzhou and ask us to pick you up." Then he turned to Lu Yao and said, "The guards at the county palace are in emergency. Transfer, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you, clean up, let's go quickly."

"Mr. Zhu!" Lu Yao turned his head to look at Zhu Weili. He had proposed to leave here early. The Ying'an County King seemed to be a good old man, but he had a lot of selfishness in private and was definitely not a good collaborator .

Ling Qingyu to Guangzhou? Zhu Weili nodded to the book boy behind him and said: "Pack your things and go now."

Pushing open the courtyard door and seeing the guard body wilting outside, Lu Yao glanced at Ye Eleven, then carried Zhu Weili on his back, and followed Ye Eleven out of the palace.

After leaving Yingzhou City, there were already a few empty horses outside the city. Ye Fei stood quietly on the side. Seeing them, he turned on their horses and then galloped towards Guangzhou.

There are many mountains and little land on Guangnan Road. Thousands of years ago, it was a desolate and sparsely populated place. After going down the mountain road and bypassing Yingzhou, Ling Qingyu and his party stopped in a small town some distance from Guangzhou and waited for Zhu Wei to leave. Came to rendezvous, and Ying Thirteen brought people to Guangzhou to listen to the situation, and at the same time contacted the ships that should be waiting at the port.

On the morning of the next day, Zhu Weili arrived. After briefly communicating the information, Zhu Weili became silent.

After a morning rest, Zhu Weili looked for Ling Qingyu, re-opened the map, and said, "Master, now with the matter of Cheng Jia, the master can consider raising the banner."

Ling Qingyu was taken aback for a moment. What they said before was to wait for the chaos within Da Zhou before sending troops from the north, and now raise the banner? How?

"My lord, Chai Jinzhong and Chai Jingchao are both unpopular now. According to what you said, the Zhao family already has two hearts. I'm afraid they are waiting for the two tigers to fight for the opportunity to start. However, the Zhao family itself has differences, so the northern one year After that, there must be a division between the upper and lower sides. On the southern side, the Jiang'an county king has already upset, but he cannot control those prominent families in Jiangnan, especially the old nest of the Huainan Wang family. On the Jiangnan side, it is necessary to divide the power across the river. Although it is fast, Han Ziqing is now blocked outside Changsha City, and his soldiers burn, kill, looting and looting are all unpopular. As long as Han Ziqing supports some time, the reinforcements on Jiangnan Road will arrive. I am afraid that after a year, the general trend will be there. It’s set. And now that Cheng Jiazhi’s tens of thousands of words have spread and the impact is deep, we did not expect it before. Lord, Cheng has laid the foundation stone for you. Now you can set up the banner and do benevolence and righteousness. Those who have the Tao will help." Zhu Weili said, touching his beard. As soon as he saw the ten thousand words book, he understood that this is the best banner for the Ling family. The Ling family has always done good deeds and has a deep influence on the people. If there is such a ruler for the people, why should the ruler say? The Ling family shouted, and the responders fixed the crowd. However, he only thought that this was a godsend. He didn't expect that it was not a godsend, but Cheng Jia used his life and blood to pave the way for Ling Qingyu.

To achieve a great cause, one must make sacrifices. To become a king, one must have the power to persuade others and make people willing to die for it.

"You mean, are we up here? Guangnan Road?"

"Guangnan Road was originally a poor place. Guangzhou was prospered by Fanwai trade, but after Fanwai trade was cut off by us in Sanfoqi, the number of merchants who came and went was much less. Xie's family also collected money and oppressed them in a vicious manner. Although the number of Baiyue people in Lingnan is not large, they are brave and good at fighting, but they are the people who are oppressed and bullied. I remember the lord once said that where there is oppression, there will be resistance. As long as Xu Yili, those The Baiyue people can be used by us."

"The Xie family in Guangzhou..." Ling Qingyu put a sneer on the corner of her mouth. Yes, Xie family, not only is the enemy of father and brother, if it weren't for them to send people to assassinate twice, how could Yan San be seriously injured, and later even brought a whole body. Toxic wounds, in order to fear that I would see the pain when healed the poisoned wounds, so I have the following difference. In the end, this is the source of everything.

"If the lord decides, then Zhu will not go back to the boat with you, and go to the Baiyue clan to persuade them to cooperate with us."

"Will there be any danger?"

Zhu Weili chuckled and shook his head, and said: "The Baiyue people are not as simple as the people in southern Xinjiang. They are actually very simple. I have met several patriarchs in the prefectural palace, and they are all people who can reason. When you don’t go down, you will give him a way to survive, and you will always be desperate."

"So..." Ling Qingyu lowered his head and thought for a while, Zhu Weili said so, he must be certain. Historically speaking, Guangdong at this time was not only with few people, but not many garrisons. It was twice in a certain year in the Northern Song Dynasty and a certain year in the Southern Song Dynasty. Large-scale northern immigrants began to have a huge number of Hakka people. If you can really get the power of Baiyue, then it will not be difficult to win Guangnan Road, and you will know that this ancient road opened by Zhang Jiuling thousands of years ago. How difficult it is to walk, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Guangnan Road is taken, Fanwai will have a foothold in Dazhou.

"Mr. Zhu, Lu Yao and the eleven are following you, Yan Qi, you send a few more people, and you must ensure the safety of Mr. Zhu." Ling Qingyu raised his head, the look in his eyes made Yan Qi's mouth curl up, nodding in response: "it is good."

Since the opening of the Tang Dynasty as a commercial port, Guangzhou City has continued to expand. Now it is a big city with three districts of Midtown, East City and West City. Midtown has the smallest area and is mainly occupied by officials from the Xie family and Guangzhou. The area of ​​East City and West City is large. Mainly civilians and merchants live, the city’s streets are wide and there are many businesses, and there are excavated Nei Hao and built an inner wharf in the Xicheng City to shelter ships from wind and rain.

At noon, when the most lazy people want to take a nap, a few horses entered the city from the north gate of the West City, and the hooves of Dita's horses rang on the bluestone paved streets with a crisp echo.

Looking at the shops on both sides, the people who occasionally walk on the street, and the private soldiers in Xie's coat of arms scattered on the street in twos and threes, Ying Shisan's eyes sank slightly.

Along the long street to the inner wharf, Ying Shisan got off the horse in front of the inn at the end of the street, handed the reins of the horse to the greeted man, and brought Xiesaburo into the lobby, found a place to sit down, and followed After the guy ordered something to eat, he asked casually, "I heard that there are many people here, and there are big boats outside of the city. I don't know where to see them?"

"Guest, you come from the north," the guy smiled: "It's the first time to come to us?" Seeing these people are young and dressed in silk and satin, they laughed and said, "The big ship outside the pier is going to the outer dock. Look, it's a coincidence that a fleet of ships came here some time ago. I heard that they came from Zhu Luo. Because of the wind direction, we stopped here for some time. You have to watch it, just go to the outer wharf."

"Thank you." Xie Saburo put a dime of broken silver on the table and smiled brilliantly.

The dishes were ordered according to the recommendation of the buddy, and the serving speed was very fast. Just looking at the white chicken dripping with blood, the few people were very silent, and then Ye Yu asked: "Is this the delicious white chicken that the master said?"

Ying Thirteen picked up a piece of chicken and slowly chewed it in his mouth, and then said, "San Lang, you are asking about the situation on the street. Ye Feng Ye Yu Ye Lin will go to see how many Xie’s private soldiers are under? How about the layout of the city’s defenses? how many people."

"Yes!"

The outer wharf is easy to find. After ten miles out of the west city, walk along the river to the sea entrance, and you can see the outer wharf lined with thousands of ships, and among them, docked far away in the outer sea, several ships of its huge volume can be seen. The boat is even more conspicuous.

When approaching the pier, Ying Shishi got off his horse and frowned slightly at the noisy scenery on the pier. There were coolies wearing uniforms on the pier. There were no fewer than a thousand Xie’s private soldiers scattered around. , The place close to that huge sea ship is even denser.

"Hey, I said Sangjai, the wind has already risen, don't you captain want to leave?" Someone nearby laughed loudly. Ying Shisan turned his head and saw the familiar one from the crowd. The figure stretched out his hand to block Ye Xiao next to him, and stood by the roadside.

"How do we go, our captain is all fascinated by your Da Zhou women, and we don't even mention it."

"Hahaha, that is, Nalixiangyuan's little pink is a stunner. It's fine now. It's wrapped up by your captain. We can't see each other."

"You? Little Taohong only pays a hundred taels of silver every time you meet, are you rich?"

There was a burst of laughter on the dock, and Ying Shisan slowly led the horse through the crowd, and squeezed past Sanjay without squinting.

"Thank you, boss!" Holding a pack of fresh dim sum in his hand, Xie Saburo walked out of the dim sum shop with a very bright smile, weighed the dim sum in his hand, and looked at the opposite shop.

It was a satin shop. Thinking about the rush that came out this time, after the carriage was abandoned, the extra clothes were lost. Ling Qingyu also brought a few changes of clothes, and Xie Saburo walked into the satin shop.

The door of the satin shop was not big, but the depth inside was deep. The afternoon sun shone in diagonally, setting off the smile of Xie Saburo who entered the door very brightly.

"Boss, show me some dark good material." Xie Saburo smiled when he entered the door, and then heard someone call San Lang inside, his voice full of surprise and doubt.

Xie Saburo turned his head and looked. The shop was very deep. Standing in the sun, Xie Saburo couldn't see clearly inside. He walked a few steps, and after adjusting to the light inside, he saw that the look of horror seemed fierce. The woman who stood up so that everything in her hands fell to the ground, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

His mother was from Da Zhou. Although both his father and brother told his mother that his mother died of illness, he knew that his mother was not dead. He just returned to Da Zhou. He was seven years old at that time, and his mother’s face remembered very clearly. Years passed, the woman's appearance hadn't changed much, she could recognize it at a glance.

He knew who his mother was, and he also knew that her mother had returned to her mother's house, but in the past seven years, he had never thought of coming back and looking for her, because his mother was Xie's family.

Is her enemy...

"Is it really you? Saburo?" Xie Wanru rushed forward a few steps and pulled the boy in front of him. The eyes and eyebrows and facial features were all like the Xie family. They hadn't seen him for ten years, and the boy had grown so handsome. The young man, the full of vitality that makes people like it at first sight.

Xie Saburo was irritated by her cold fingers and stepped back abruptly, saying that you have recognized the wrong person, turned and ran out, took off the horse's rein, turned on the horse, and rode away before the woman chased it out.

For ten years, this is a very incompetent mother. After giving birth to him, she didn’t take him much. For a while, Xiesaburo could clearly feel his mother’s hostility and hatred towards him. Once he defeated a group of samurai. When his children were very happy, they overheard the private discussion of the group of children, saying that their mother was from the Dazhou clan. They looked down on them, Japanese country warriors, and thought it was a shame to have a Japanese child, so they didn’t like him at all. Fujiwara Saburo is a child whose father does not accept his mother's dislike, but he is so arrogant, which is really annoying.

It turned out to be like this, so no matter how hard he did and worked hard, he wouldn’t get a compliment from his mother, just as his father was still turned away no matter how much he pleased his mother. When he knew this, the five-year-old Fujiwara Saburo again I didn't want to please my mother in the past, but occasionally when she had to come forward, she had seen the beautiful woman whose father put her on the cusp of her heart from a distance.

But in the end, they were abandoned by her, and a small boat from Xie’s family took her away. On the day he left, he avoided father and brother and chased her to the pier, crying and shouting to his mother in big weeks, but until the boat was far away , She didn't even look back.

Xie Saburo ran back to the inn and entered the room, leaning against the door and let out a long sigh, don't you want to? After the destruction of the Fujiwara’s house, he was panicking and crying alone on the bed. At that time, he did think of her, thinking of her hug to soothe his anxiety, but at that time, hugging him to soothe his anxiety and It was Ling Qingyu who horrified him to fall asleep. It was the woman who often watched him calling him a bear child with a helpless expression. She pulled him out of the nightmare and gave him a home. No one discriminated against him and no one looked down on him. He really accepted his place.

In the middle of the night, the Lixiang Academy is still brightly lit up, singing and dancing.

Ying Thirteen touched into the Lichun Courtyard from the backyard. It didn't take much time to see the wide open rear window and the person leaning against the window.

Leaping into the room from Ram, Ying Thirteen pulled the towel and said, "Don't stand at the window next time, it's half blocked."

"Where's her?" Ram ignored his ridicule and asked directly.

"I'm resting in front. I'm still dozens of miles away from Guangzhou. I saw Xie's staring at your boat on the dock. How do I get on the boat?" I took a look at the teapot while sitting at the table and stiffened. Beauty, Ying Shisan took the teapot from her hand, found a clean cup and poured a glass of water to drink.

Ram sighed for a long time, and after a few months of stress, he felt that he fell back in his heart, and said, "Tomorrow I will drive the boat out to sea, and there will be a boat to pick you up at Tung Chung, and Fang Nianyuan’s boat is outside. On a small island not far away, when we got on the boat, we met first."

"He's here too?" Ying Shisan put the tea cup on the table, and then directly tapped the beauty's acupuncture points.

"Ding Dong’s boat has come down from Hangzhou. I heard that Huainan is fighting fiercely. I guess you can’t walk the Jiangnan line. Only this line is the most suitable. So we focused on it. But why did it take so long? Are you okay?" Ram pulled a chair and sat down and asked urgently.

"Don't worry, the master is okay." Ying Shisan smiled, pointing to the beautiful woman and said with a smile: "You really have a good time, Xiao Taohong, the cost is not small, right?"

"I always find an excuse to stay here and not leave." Ram grinned, then said sternly: "Don't tell her nonsense!"

"Hehe, there is nonsense there, you have to be a little affectionate after you have been with someone for a few months?" Ying Shisan smiled.

Ram smiled and said, "This woman is very smart. She only has money in her eyes, no matter what my excuse is."

No danger before does not mean that there is no danger now. Ying Shisan rolled her eyes and put her hand on the woman's neck, and then looked at Ram.

Ram was taken aback, and then he knew what he meant, and said with a wry smile: "But a weak woman, why bother..."

Ying Thirteen clicked on the beauty's big holes again, and said to Ram: "You take her to bed. Don't let anyone touch her these days. After the master gets on the boat, you can do whatever you want."

"Don't have to be so troublesome. I will redeem her tomorrow and take it on the boat. When she gets on the boat, I can find a place to give her money to let her go ashore." Ram stood up and said.

Ying Thirteen looked at him, showing a slight smile, and said: "This acupuncture point can be solved at noon tomorrow, you can figure it out."

Walking to the window, Ying Shisan turned around and said, "I will pick up the lord now. Your people can find Ye Lin and Saburo at Yuelai Inn. Tell him that they are on the boat."

Seeing Ying Thirteen's figure disappear into the darkness, Ram walked to the beauty, bent over to pick her up and put her on the bed, and whispered: "I know you are awake, it is best that you be more interesting and don't do anything. A pointless thing, or I will take your life myself." Seeing that the beautiful woman's eyes turned a little, and he blinked, Ram got up, put the bed curtain down, and walked to the door of the outer room and stood opposite the door. The guard said: "Go to my mother, I want to redeem Xiao Taohong."
