Chapter 344: Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger
As soon as Feng Ji saw the dumbfounded look of Gu Chan and others, she laughed happily.
Gu Chan said angrily, "My god-sister! I'm so anxious, but you can still laugh!"
"Don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet. !" Feng Ji said with a smile.
After saying that, she pulled Gu Chan to sit down and said earnestly, "The emperor told me before coming here that now that the border has been recovered and it is the time of heavy snowfall in winter, you don't have to stay here anymore. Now, let the Ninth Prince lead his people to build defenses here, while you take them to Jiangnan."
"To Jiangnan?" Gu Chan was surprised.
She really didn’t expect that the emperor would ask her to go to Jiangnan.
Feng Ji explained, "The area south of the Yangtze River has always been an important tax area for the Tiancang Kingdom. The people there are much richer than the people in Zhongyuan City, and there are thousands of rich gentry. Now we need to engage in banking to improve the border. , you have to go to Jiangnan."
"Oh! I understand, no wonder the emperor gave me the imperial envoy position and worked for a long time just because he wanted me to go to Jiangnan to make money! Said with relief.
At this time, she was not so anxious.
Five billion taels of silver is an astronomical figure, but if she really goes to Jiangnan, it is not impossible to get such a large sum of money.
After all, she had heard before that the area south of the Yangtze River was as rich as any other country, and the wealthy gentry there were all extremely wealthy. And most importantly, the area south of the Yangtze River produced salt, silk, tea and other valuable products. Even if you can't get money for things, just resell them in batches, it's still money!
Xue Lihua also said excitedly, "I heard that the Jiangnan area is like spring all year round and it doesn't snow at all in winter. I don't know if it's true. If I really want to go there, I would like to go and see it."
"Yes! I am also curious about the Jiangnan area." Ren Nanshan followed suit.
Wei Xing and the other four laughed and said nothing.
Compared to how nervous they were just now, they are now calmer.
Feng Ji smiled lightly and said, "Remember, don't reveal your identity easily in the past. The people there are much more ruthless than the people in Zhongyuan City and the border. It's only a last resort. It's best not to use Shang Fang's sword. "Exposed."
"I know, god sister, let's go back and pack our bags and leave early tomorrow morning to return to Zhongyuan City. After that, we will form a caravan or something in Zhongyuan City and go there in the name of doing business. Jiangnan area." Gu Chan said.
Feng Ji nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Chan said no more, immediately stood up to say goodbye, and left with his six men.
After they left, Xuanyuan Qingcai stared at Feng Ji and sneered, "Cousin Huang, you are trying to steal someone from me!"
"You are planning to steal someone from me! Don't forget it. "Gu Chanke has been the commander of Renzong's tenth team since the beginning. I didn't blame you, but you blamed me?" Feng Ji said with a stiff face.
"Don't worry, you can't steal it from me. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. He has been chosen by my people a long time ago. Now he looks more and more like a woman. I will marry him in the future. Let him be my imperial concubine." Xuanyuan Qing deliberately brought this matter out.
Feng Ji was stunned on the spot after hearing this, with a look of anger on her face.
Glancing at Xuanyuan Qing fiercely, she stood up and shouted angrily, "Okay, cousin Huang, you are really powerful. You can do this kind of thing. No wonder the princes and princesses... Everyone sees you as a thorn in their side and wants to get rid of you quickly. I advise you to be careful in the future and don’t be too showy, otherwise I’m afraid you won’t even know how you died.”
Finished, Feng. Ji angrily tossed his sleeves and left.
Xuanyuan Qing sat there, looking at her leaving back, a cold and sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
On the other side, in Gu Chan’s room. At this time, Gu Chan was sitting around the table with six of his men, discussing secretly.
Wei Xing was the first to speak, "I always feel that the emperor sent Renzong, the female sect leader, not only to declare the decree, but also for other purposes. .”
"Brother Renyin, you used to be a secret agent of Renzong's Ninth Team. Logically speaking, you should know your sect master very well. Why don't you tell us about it?" Ma Zheng looked at Renyin and said.
Renyin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a small spy of Team 9. I don't even see her at all, so how can I understand her? Over the years, the only thing I know is that our This female sect leader is not only insidious, but also extremely ruthless. She is definitely not a kind person. "
"Okay, don't guess. Her purpose is very simple in my opinion. Chan said suddenly.
The six of them looked up at her in confusion.
Gu Chan secretly analyzed and said, "The Ninth Prince is too smart, and people like him have never been welcomed by others. There are so many princes and princesses under the Emperor's knees, who can find him pleasing to the eye? Moreover? The emperor himself is also an extremely shrewd person, and he will definitely not allow the Ninth Prince to grow up."
"Oh! I understand, the Emperor intends to send Feng Ji here to check and balance the Ninth Prince. "
"The emperor is so cruel! He even has to be wary of his own son. His life is really tiring."
"There is no way. Having too many sons is not a good thing. After all, every prince is watching. That throne!"
When Gu Chan said this, the six people immediately sighed in relief.
There is no doubt that Xuanyuan Qing contributed a lot to this border victory. He will definitely win the hearts of the people. Once he becomes too powerful, it will not be a good thing for him.
Those princes in Kyoto who covet the throne may secretly find experts to kill him one day.
At this time, the emperor sent Feng Ji to check and balance him, which was equivalent to giving him a reminder and protecting his life in disguise.
After understanding these situations, Wei Xing sighed and said, "As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. It seems that we really have to stay away from the Ninth Prince in the future, otherwise we may all face death. "Disaster."
"Isn't it obvious that the emperor asked us to go to Jiangnan to make money and keep him here to repair the border? Isn't it just to weaken the power around him and isolate him, and Tian Ying and other generals? , have also been scattered to various places, which further confirms this point," Gu Chan said.
The six people nodded noncommittally.
Gu Chan didn't want to say any more and waved to the six people, "Hurry up and get ready for bed! Tomorrow morning, after breakfast, we will leave quickly and don't stay here anymore."
“Yes, boss.” Six people said in unison.
Then they got up and left, each going back to their rooms to clean up and rest.
Gu Chan also lay back on the bed and fell asleep.
Early in the morning the next day, before it was bright, Gu Chan and others got up early to wash up and tidy up, and then quickly ate breakfast, as if they were running away, without even saying goodbye to Xuanyuan Qing, and just took the car The carriage took eight mysterious beasts away quickly.
When Xuanyuan Qing woke up at dawn, he realized that Gu Chan and others had left long ago.
He immediately yelled angrily and lost his appetite for breakfast.
