Chapter 786 Robbery

Chu Yi felt a little aggrieved. (Vertex Hand Hit)

Originally, it was not easy to come back from the Tang Dynasty envoy in nine lifetimes, and he also brought back a cotton purchase contract for them Gaochang that was profitable for ten years or even longer, and the credit was not small, if it was left in the past, His Majesty would have already begun to reward him, and he could also show his face in front of the eldest prince and Princess Jin Ye infinitely.

If everything goes well, it is impossible to say that Princess Jin Ye will still look at her, and she may be able to call herself as her concubine in the future.

But everything that was originally beautiful changed after Hou Junji's old man said a word, His Majesty was unhappy, and the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty were panicked, and the credit that belonged to him became a little insignificant with this matter, and His Majesty hurriedly said that after the three poles and one knight, there was nothing else.

Why is this happening?

Chu Yi's heart was indignant, and he directly attributed all the reasons for this matter to Hou Junji, jealous and jealous, he was Chiguoguo's jealousy. At the beginning, it was Hou Junji who encouraged His Majesty to let him envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and now he has returned safely, Gu Zuo said that he was also distracted by His Majesty, and he was also Hou Junji, thinking that he was a traitorous general, why did he gain His Majesty's trust?

Even if he is right, even if the Tang Emperor really has the idea of sending troops to Gaochang, can't he wait until His Majesty finishes the reward before he talks about it?

He did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose. Riding on a big horse, Chu Yi's fists were already clenched, if it weren't for some experience in Datang some time ago that he learned what forbearance is, he would definitely turn his face with Hou Junji on the spot as before, if that was the case, a hat that didn't care about the overall situation and quick success would naturally be buckled on his head.

Hou Junji is calculating Lao Tzu.

"Got it?" Riding side by side with Chu Yi, Prime Minister Qu Yifu saw that Chu Yi's face had changed from the previous indignation and annoyance to the current abruptness and anger, so he stepped forward with a whip, looked Chu Yi up and down, and said to him: "This trip to the Tang Dynasty has indeed made you grow a lot. ”

"The Prime Minister praised it falsely, and Xia Guan is just a poor worm who has been abandoned." Chu Yi looked decadent, what if he figured it out, what if he was calculated, if he was not favored by His Majesty, no matter how much credit he had, everything was just in vain.

"I know that your kid is not angry in his heart," raised his hand and patted Chu Yi's shoulder, Qu Yifu chuckled and said: "I thought that in front of the palace, you would argue with Hou Junji in front of His Majesty, but I didn't expect you to be able to endure until now." ”

"The prime minister also saw it?" Listening to Qu Yifu's words, Chu Yi couldn't help but raise his head: "Since the prime minister already understands the sinister intentions of the old boy in Hou Junji, why don't you ...... the prime minister?" ”

"But he didn't come out to administer justice for you, but he still took the initiative to help Hou Junji speak?" Taking over Chu Yi's unspoken words, Qu Yifu looked at Chu Yi and shook his head lightly, and said, "I thought you had completely understood, but now it seems that you still lack some heat." ”

"Who is Hou Junji?" Qu Yifu said: "That's the marshal who holds nearly half of my Gaochang soldiers and horses, he is worried about the safety of the country, and it is his duty to prepare for war in advance, even if it is somewhat aimed at you, but can you find fault with his actions on the surface?" ”

"This ......" Chu Yi was speechless for a moment, if he could find fault with Hou Junji, he wouldn't have endured it until now.

"And the old man is His Majesty's prime minister," Seeing that Chu Yi had nothing to say, Qu Yifu continued: "It is also the duty of the old man to solve problems for Your Majesty, handle government affairs, and nip in the bud all things that may endanger my Gaochang's safety." ”

"This time Hou Junji said it well, and the old man also saw that the Tang Dynasty was very likely to use troops against me Gaochang after spring ploughing," Qu Yifu said: "That's why I will agree to Hou Junji's proposal, and it is better to prepare earlier than to panic when the soldiers come to the city." ”

"I know all this, each performs his own duties, seeks his own government in his position, at least on the surface, he must be glamorous," Chu Yi took over and said: "But what makes me wonder is, Your Majesty, why does he trust a traitorous general who is not my Gaochang so much?" I'm not convinced."

"Your Majesty has his own reasoning, and it is not something that those of us who are courtiers can figure it out wantonly." Looking at Chu Yi, Qu Yifu asked him softly: "Who taught you the phrase 'each performs his own duties and seeks his own government in his position'?" Don't say that you figured it out yourself, how much ink do you have in your stomach The old man's heart is very transparent, and such an incisive sentence is definitely not something that a coarse man like you can think of. ”

"Huh? Hehe, the prime minister's discerning eyes actually saw the flaws at a glance, "Being exposed, Chu Yi smiled cheekily without a little embarrassment, and said: "Don't hide it from the prime minister, I went to Chang'an, but the little nephew knew a nobleman, and he taught the little nephew a lot of things openly and secretly." ”

"The way of being an official, the words of the world?" Seeing Chu Yi nodding, Qu Yifu couldn't help but get upright, and Zheng Sheng asked Chu Yi, "I don't know which one this noble person you are talking about?" Was it a hermit Confucian, or an official in the Tang Dynasty? ”

In Qu Yifu's eyes, the people who can say this kind of proverb and teach a vulgar warrior into a sleek and powerful general in a short period of time are the only ones who have been officials for decades.

If the noble man in Chu Yi's mouth is the former, it is easy to say, if it is the latter, then his purpose is worth considering, will this be another conspiracy of the Tang Emperor?

"Neither," knowing that the prime minister had misunderstood, Chu Yi didn't bother to explain, but said to Qu Yifu with a look of adoration: "He is neither a hermit in the mountains nor an official of the Tang Dynasty, and the prime minister would never have imagined that he is just an ordinary businessman in Chang'an City." ”

"Merchant?" His face was full of surprise, but he quickly thought of the contract that Chu Yi brought back from this trip, as well as the merchant enemy who Hou Jun gathered in Chang'an, Qu Yifu suddenly understood in his heart: "Is it Liu Yiyi?" Mihara Yanagi? ”

"The Prime Minister's Wisdom" Chu Yi's words were sincere, without a hint of sycophancy, and he didn't expect that he had just said a businessman, Qu Yifu thought of Sanyuan Liu's family so quickly, and this little head turned a little faster, and he deserved to be a cow who could be the auxiliary slaughterer of a country.

"Then it's no wonder," Qu Yifu said with a sudden look on his face, and muttered in his mouth: "No wonder Hou Jun gathered his dignified military department book, and it was planted in the hands of a small businessman." ”

"He wants to borrow your hand to get rid of Hou Junji, the enemy?" Qu Yifu raised his head and asked Chu Yi.

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, but that's probably what it meant, otherwise how could he be so kind to help me a nobody for no reason?" Chu Yi didn't hide much, and replied openly: "However, this time I can come back safely, he has also made a lot of efforts, whether he is using me, or he has other thoughts, in my heart, he is my benefactor Chu Yi." ”

"So, whether it's for him or for myself, I won't let Hou Junji's old boy feel better" Whipping the horse's buttocks, Chu Yi overtook Qu Yifu by a while.

"This Liu Yiyi is really good at seizing the opportunity, and he is also willing to pay for it," Thinking about Chu Yi's firm appearance when he spoke, Qu Yifu couldn't help but feel a little admired in his heart: "At the same time, he is also a good hand at winning people's hearts, no wonder Hou Junji, a general who has fought all his life, will be defeated in his hands, I really want to see this young handsome." ”

"Boy, wait for the old man" Seeing that Chu Yi had already walked away, Qu Yifu also threw up his whip and led a group of soldiers behind him to chase forward.

At the same time, in the camp where Hou Junji was located, the remnant sword came from outside with a secret letter.

"Father-in-law, this is a secret letter sent from Chang'an, you can see it." Bowing his hand, the remnant sword handed the secret letter in his hand to Hou Junji.

"When did you arrive? Have you ever been discovered? Stretching out his hand to take the letter, Hou Junji asked softly, the current Chang'an, in addition to his old departments, only one person will want to get him, so he has to be careful about some things.

"Don't worry, sir, the way to send the letter is very secretive, and no one notices." Knowing their master's thoughts, the remnant sword also responded cautiously.

"Well, we are in a different place now, and we should be careful in everything," Hou Junji said: "No matter when and where, don't take it lightly and make mistakes." ”

"Yes, sir, the villain wrote it down"

"Huh? This is good news," a surprise sound, Hou Junji looked away from the letterhead, and said in a low voice: "If it is done properly, it is a good idea. ”

"Remnant Sword" Hou Junji moved his gaze to Remnant Sword, shouting loudly.

"The last general" knew that their master must have something to order, and the remnant sword suddenly straightened up and replied in a sonorous voice.

"You go to the camp and select a hundred brave men, all of them change into civilian clothes, and immediately set off for the desert in the southeast of the border," Hou Junji commanded: "In the next two days, a group of caravans will cross the border from Datang with a large amount of silver, and your goal is to intercept this batch of silver coins, and then quickly evacuate." ”

"As for the accompanying merchants," Hou Junji thought for a while, his face showed ruthlessness, and he said firmly: "None will be left"

"Master, is the Liu family's caravan coming?" Feeling something, the remnant sword asked in a low voice, and his two eyes instantly turned blood-red.

"The last general will obey the order and leave no one behind" Seeing that their master nodded softly, the remnant sword didn't say anything more, and after answering the high, he turned around and walked out of the camp.

"A million? Hmph" Seeing the remnant sword out of the account, and then thinking about the content of the letter, Hou Junji couldn't help but snort coldly, and said to himself: "Liu Yiyi, I didn't expect you to dare to let people bring so much money to Gaochang to buy goods, you really can't put it on when I wait for someone?" Last time, you were lucky to escape, and this time the old man will definitely let you lose your wife and soldiers, and get back a little interest for my poor boy first."

Although one million guan is not much, but for the current Gao Chang, it is enough for him to deal with a big war, if he can rob this money, he Hou Junji will no longer need to compromise and prepare for war with the help of Liu Yiyi, the enemy.

"One hundred and twenty thousand?" After knowing what was being transported in the carriage, Li Jihe, who came to greet Liu Bing, couldn't help but gasp, this is also reckless, right? One hundred and twenty thousand is not one hundred and twenty, young master, why did he let people bring it so reassuringly? Isn't he afraid of any accidents on the road, even if he doesn't run away with money, but it's not a trivial matter if he encounters robbers.

"This is what the young master meant," Liu Bing said: "The young master said that this trip to Gaochang will have a big harvest, and you can't miss a big thing because of the silver money, so that you can bring all the silver over at one time, so as not to miss the acquisition in the future because of the shortage of money." ”

"However, this is also too risky, and if something happens on the way, this is not a small number." Even though Liu Bing had arrived safely now, Li Jihe was still afraid of them.

"There are a lot of people accompanying me this time, all of them are some trustworthy henchmen, and all of them have learned good martial arts, and ordinary bandits are not worried at all, so this journey can be regarded as a thrill." Liu Bing arched his hand to Li Jihe and said, "The young master said that the master of the Ji field is a credible person, so I must ask the master of the Ji field for help when I get to the place, and cause trouble to the master of the Ji field." ”

As he spoke, Liu Bing glanced at the people behind him, and after a while, someone led a carriage towards the two.

"I know that the master of the Ji field is good at wine and loves tea art, so when he came, the young master specially instructed the master of the Ji field to bring some, and I hope that the master of the Ji field smiled and accepted" ordered someone to send the things, Liu Bing said to Li Jihe politely and softly.

"Brother Liu, this is outside, our host and your mansion are world friends, this little thing is nothing, it's really polite, polite." Looking at the dozens of jars of wine and dozens of catties of tea on the carriage, Li Jihe secretly praised the young master for showing compassion to his subordinates, and at the same time, he drooled and said politely, looking at the dozens of carriages brought by Liu Bing: "The property is too heavy, it is not suitable to stay, it is most appropriate to put it in the barracks, and Steward Liu will go with Ji." ”

"There is a labor discipline field owner" Seeing Li Jihe accept the things, Liu Bing said with a smile: "In addition to these of the Ji field masters, our young master also prepared some gifts for General Yang, and asked the Ji field owners to help introduce them." ”

"There is no problem with this," Li Jihe affectionately pulled Liu Bing forward and said, "For the sake of brother, take the virtuous brother over." ”

After that, the two of them were in front and the caravan was behind, and they walked all the way to the military camp where Yang Kunshang was stationed. In the pasture behind them, the horse master Wang An was taking a few apprentices to tame the horses in a hurry, and 30,000 healthy horses were galloping in the pasture, and the scene was spectacular
