The old man's voice came out: "Silly girl, that's five hundred taels of gold. Look at these gold leaves yourself, but they are all real. We have to bring them to Hanzhong. We can get five hundred taels of gold. Even if we have ten lives, we can't make so much gold."
The girl said angrily: "You just love gold. I just worry that you have the fate to get gold and go to flowers if you have no life."
"Damn girl, what are you talking about?" the old man cursed: "Master, I have been traveling around the world for decades. Is my eyes worse than you? Look at that young master, no matter his conversation or behavior, he is not rich, and he will never miss the master's knowledge of so many years. Five hundred taels of gold is a drop in the bucket for these noble masters."
The girl snorted coldly and didn't speak.
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just leading the way. Young Master Feng came out to help today, which shows his character. Even if we repay others, we should help them lead the way."
The two of them had a very light voice. If Qi Ning had not had the profound skills, it would be difficult to hear. Even so, the conversation between the master and the apprentice, not every word could be heard clearly, but the general meaning could be understood completely.
"Master, then what is the origin of him?" The girl said alertly: "If he is a noble official, some people are rushing to lead the way for them, why should we find us?"
"This!" the old man obviously felt strange, but he whispered: "Maybe they were a little inconvenient. He felt that we artists were traveling around the world and were familiar with the road, so he found us. I said, "Don't have so many questions. After getting the gold, our master and apprentice would not have to wander around the world. The master bought a house to spend his old age well, and then prepared a large dowry for you and found a good family to marry you."
Qi Ning sighed in her heart, and only then did she understand why the master and apprentice followed Beitangfeng.
Beitang Feng obviously used gold to motivate this old man. After all, five hundred taels of gold. Not to mention mere artists, even some local officials in the martial arts world would have to pay attention to such wealth.
According to the old man's words, Beitangfeng and his group were going to Hanzhong, but they were obviously not familiar with the road, so they had to find Lao Ma to lead the way.
But what are the people in this group going to Hanzhong?
He made a clear statement and lost interest in the conversation between the master and the apprentice. Seeing that the window was lighted in seven or eight steps ahead, the cat's waist passed down the window and touched the window in front, and leaned against the wall close to the window, but it was extremely quiet inside. Qi Ning waited for a moment, leaned slightly, poked a finger, gently poked it on the window paper, poked a hole the size of hand, and looked inside it.
I saw that the furnishings in the house were also simple, but it was a bedroom with an oil lamp on the table, and a man was wearing clothes and carrying his hands on his back and forth in the room, looking quite anxious and uneasy. Qi Ning recognized it at a glance. The man was Beitangyu, thinking that Beitangyu was indeed with Beitangfeng.
Beitangyu walked back and forth for more than ten times, feeling restless, and sat on the chair for a short while, and soon couldn't sit still, so he started to get up and walk back and forth again.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice saying, "Uncle Emperor, are you asleep?" It was the voice of Beitang Feng.
However, Qi Ning saw Beitangyu immediately heading to the bed, moving very quickly, and instantly lay on the bed, pulling a thin sheet to cover her body. The temperature in Xiangyang was already very high, and there was no need to cover the sheet at night. Seeing him like this, Qi Ning was quite strange, but he heard Beitangyu's voice and said in a weak voice: "I haven't sleep yet!"
Hearing a "crunch", the door was pushed open. Qi Ning saw Beitangfeng entering the room, holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, walked to the edge of the bed and said, "Uncle Huang, this is the decocted medicine. You drink the medicine first."
But he saw Beitangyu wavering his hand and said, "No, it's useless to take medicine for two days. Alas, when people get old, their bodies are not good, and it's not that medicine can cure it."
"Uncle Emperor, don't say that." Beitang Feng said: "Uncle Emperor is not cured of illness. We have no idea what to do. Uncle Emperor, take the medicine first."
Qi Ning was a little strange. He thought to himself that Bei Tangyu looked like he was just now. He was anxious but didn't seem to have any illness at all. When Bei Tangfeng came, he immediately went to bed, looking weak and weak. When he saw Bei Tangyu shook his head, he still took the porcelain bowl, drank a small sip and handed it over.
Beitang Feng put the medicine bowl aside and said, "Uncle Huang, the old man who is performing arts is very familiar with the road and knows many shortcuts. If he says fast, he can arrive in Hanzhong within twenty days."
Beitangyu sighed: "Where did you find them? Is it reliable?"
"Uncle Emperor, don't worry." Beitang Feng said: "They are street performers. I saw that after they finished work, someone secretly caught up with them. After they made a lot of money to ask them for help, they immediately agreed, hehe, those lowly people, give them some sweetness and are willing to do anything."
Qi Ning sneered in his heart and thought to himself that Beitangfeng was lying here, obviously because he was worried that the fact would be revealed, so Beitangyu would scold him again.
If he shrank his head, he might be safe and sound and would not be targeted. Now he is so good that he has been a hero in the tea shop and has caused trouble.
"The fourth brother, I don't know what the situation is now." Beitangyu sighed, "But we can't delay here. We have been delaying here for two days. If we delay any further, the throne will probably be taken away by others."
Beitangfeng immediately sneered: "I had known that the fifth and sixth brothers were not right, the emperor's uncle should have persuaded his father to transfer them from Luoyang. Now, the father's death will lead the two thieves to usurp the throne and send people to chase us. When I lead the troops back to Luoyang, I will definitely tear the two thieves to pieces."
"They have soldiers and horses in their hands, and they will get the moon first near the water tower." Beitangyu said: "You must set off immediately and arrive in Hanzhong as soon as possible to get out of the customs. As long as you arrive in Xianyang, you can lead troops from Xianyang and go to Luoyang to worship the emperor. Everyone in the court knows that the emperor has always been willing to inherit the throne. With such a name, plus the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in your uncle's hands, you can regain the throne."
When Qi Ning heard this, he finally realized that the destination of this group was not Hanzhong, but to go to Xianyang, just to pass by Hanzhong.
The Han Emperor passed away and the prince fought for the throne. Now Luoyang is in full swing, so Beitang Feng obviously dared not return to Luoyang at this time.
According to Beitang Yu's words, Beitang Feng also had an uncle guarding Xianyang. However, Beitang Feng went to Xianyang to use his uncle's troops to return to Luoyang to seize the throne.
Qi Ning's brows were slightly locked, but it stretched out in an instant. At this time, he finally understood why Beitang Feng came to Xiangyang.
There is no doubt that Xianyang is located in the northwest direction. When Beitangfeng was in Dongqi, there were only two roads to go to Xianyang. One road was naturally traveling through the Han Dynasty. However, the other princes who were competing for the throne with him obviously thought of this and would inevitably send people to guard the paths that must be passed everywhere. From Dongqi to Xianyang, it was of course very dangerous. I am afraid that they would die on the road before they were halfway through.
Since the fifth prince and the sixth prince of the Northern Han Dynasty dared to compete for the throne, they must have the strength in their hands. If they were just mediocre people, they would not have such ambition.
When these two people compete for the throne, they will certainly not forget that there is another fourth prince Beitangfeng in Dongqi. They are afraid that as soon as the Han Emperor dies, the two people have sent assassins to Dongqi to assassinate Beitangfeng, first dealing with the biggest contender for the throne, and then the two brothers will fight to the male and female.
You cannot pass through the Han territory. The other road is to enter the Chu territory, circle a large circle, go up the river, pass through Xiangyang, then turn to Hanzhong, and then go north to get out of the pass to Xianyang. This road will naturally be much farther and cannot ensure absolute safety, but it is obviously much safer than crossing the Han territory.
Qi Ning knew that this must be the route planned by Beitangyu. With Beitangfeng's IQ, he should not have imagined this line.
After learning about Beitangfeng's plan, Qi Ning suddenly felt that if Beitangfeng could arrive in Xianyang smoothly, it might not be a bad thing for Chu State.
Once the Beitang Feng reaches Xianyang, its uncle will have a banner and will inevitably lead troops into the pass to Luoyang. It is impossible for Luoyang to see Xianyang soldiers and horses heading straight in. At that time, civil wars will inevitably break out. Once the Northern Han Dynasty has civil strife and national strength is exhausted, it will of course be good news for the Chu State.
If Beitang Feng finally succeeds and successfully regained the throne of the Northern Han, with this person's talent, Qi Ning predicts that the Northern Han will inevitably go downhill. Once it fails, the Han Dynasty will inevitably suffer a heavy loss of vitality after an internal friction.
Suddenly, Qi Ning felt that Beitangfeng could not die in Xiangyang.
I heard Beitang say, "Uncle Emperor, it's fortunate that you are here this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do. Yes, my uncle still has tens of thousands of troops in his hand. At that time, I will lead the troops directly to Luoyang and peel the two thieves and cramps. Uncle Emperor, when I become the emperor, I will definitely thank you very much."
Beitangyu sighed: "Your father always likes you, and I just follow the emperor's wishes."
"But!" Beitangfeng hesitated: "Uncle, you accidentally got sick. You look very weak now. Can you hold on to the long journey?"
"Don't worry about me, big things are important." Beitangyu sighed: "You will set off tomorrow and leave, just leave someone here to take care of me. After I recover from my illness, I will immediately rush to Xianyang to meet you."
Beitangfeng was stunned and said, "Uncle Emperor, aren't you leaving with us?"
"It's really a forced one." Beitangyu smiled bitterly and said, "You can't delay your major affairs because of me. Brother Fourth, after you set off, don't delay your journey, and don't cause trouble. Do everything in a low-key manner. Even if you suffer grievances, you must endure it. When you arrive in Xianyang, everything will be fine."
