The Duke's honor guard was already huge, and it became even larger when he brought his family. In addition, many people from the Peng family had to go back to Jiaodong to continue their maritime trade after attending the funeral, so they all went with him.
A very impressive team.
Those Peng family members who set up their own business were mixed with his team. When they go to Jiaodong, these Peng family members will "go to sea to do business", and then "encounter wind and waves, the ship will be capsized and people will be killed", and they will "cease to exist" from now on. Because they fight
Under the guise of going to sea to do business, it is logical that he brought a large amount of property. As for some of his belongings, if inspected, they do not seem to be used for trade. With the banner of Fu Guogong and the green light all the way, who would dare to
What about interrogation?
Needless to say, they arrived in Jiaodong on this day. Between Jiaozhou Bay and the Yellow Sea, there are three large islands: Huangdao, Qingdao and Xuezhou Island. The real name of Xuejia Island at this time was "Phoenix Island", the so-called Xuejia Island
The name of the island was changed after Xue Lu was later granted the title of Marquis of Yangwu, the Crown Prince and Taibao, and wore the seal of General Zhenshuo. He helped protect the three dynasties, became famous, and his descendants multiplied to become the most common surname here.
The day when Xia Xun arrived was already the third day of Mr. Xue's birthday.
Go to Huangdao and make preparations for going to sea.
This Phoenix Island is across the sea from Tuan Island, only a few miles away. Phoenix Island is a large piece of land that extends from the land to the ocean. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides: east, south and north, with mountains and seas connected, and the scenery is beautiful. It is a miraculous work of nature.
, carved out charming landscapes everywhere. At that time, the population was sparse, not to mention industrial pollution, and the natural landscape on Phoenix Island was ten times more beautiful than it is now.
The residents on Xuejia Island are all relatively poor, with less than a few decent houses. Only the Xue family built a big house because they gave birth to a son who was a high official. However, although this house is large, it is not as big as in Xia Xun.
Naturally, it is nothing in the eyes.
This island has never seen such an old official before. When Xia Xun arrived, the whole island came out to welcome him. The old man also personally welcomed him. Although this old man was sixty years old, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child.
He had a strong body, long strides, and a glowing face. When he saw Xia Xun, he roared "See the Duke of the Kingdom" and was about to pay homage to him. Xia Xun was startled, and he jumped out of the car and rushed to help him.
Old man Xue was just an ordinary fisherman and illiterate, so he didn't know many rules. He only heard his son tell him that the Duke of Guo was a very big official. Apart from the emperor and the prince, he was the only one in the world to count him.
The old man kept it in mind that he was a senior official.
Xue Lu insisted on inviting Xia Xun to the island. His original intention was to make his father happy, but in the end he made the old man so nervous that he didn't sleep well all night long. He repeatedly planned to meet this big official there.
How should I speak so as not to embarrass my son?
Everyone in the Xue family is generous and simple, but Xue Lu praised Xia Xun too highly, so that the Xue family was a little reserved in front of Xia Xun. Fortunately, Xia Xun is also a very kind person, not to mention Peng Ziqi,
Once we started chatting, he was a very kind and cheerful person, and the Xue family's reserved demeanor gradually relaxed.
Although little Siqi is young, he is the naughtiest among the four sisters. He is also very energetic and never idles wherever he goes. The scenery of Phoenix Island is extremely beautiful. Little Siqi heard the eldest and second sister talk about the sea.
After hearing her name for a long time, it was the first time she met her. She was so happy that as soon as she arrived at Peng's house, she went to the beach to play. Peng Ziqi asked the nanny to hold her daughter.
The children of the Peng family also followed. They had received instructions from their family in advance and knew that they could only coax the little sister, but they could not make her cry. So when they got to the beach, they coaxed her to play and built sandcastles for her.
She did somersaults and went into the water to catch fish, which made little Siqi laugh out loud and eager to follow the Xue family's children into the water. How could the nanny dare to agree? Later, a few boys dug a big sand pit in front of her, which attracted a lot of attention.
After crossing the sea, he put the caught fish in for her to play with, and then Xiao Siqi's cries turned into laughter.
In the Xue family's courtyard, Peng Ziqi was invited by Mrs. Xue and several female elders of the Xue family to the back house for a talk. Xue Lu and his son accompanied Xia Xun to chat in the living room.
Xue Lu said happily: "My lord, you are willing to come. When my father heard about it, he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night!"
Xue Lu was just a compliment. Xue Lu's father, Xue Yulin, heard it, but looked at his son in surprise and muttered in his heart: "How does this kid know that I haven't slept all night?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Don't mention it, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and your father is also my elder. This time, I want to return to Jinling by sea. Since I am passing by, how can I not come to visit and give my blessings to your father?
The truth of birthday wishes."
Mr. Xue was so honest that he just smiled and let his son do the talking.
Please bear with me."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Brother Xue, you still don't know my origin? I am not a pampered rich man. Uncle and Brother Xue, you have treated me so warmly. What else can I be dissatisfied with? If you are so polite again, in
I feel a little embarrassed in front of my uncle."
Xue Lu heard that he was polite and called himself Brother Xue. It gave him enough face, so he was naturally happy and said: "Let's have a banquet after the Duke takes a rest. The Xue family has a large population. I heard that the Duke
Since you are here, I want to see you and enjoy your nobility. I will set up a few more tables in a while so that you can have a good time drinking."
He rubbed his hands and added: "I heard that my wife and young lady are also coming east together. The general also specially invited a famous juggling troupe from Putai County. The actors in this troupe all have their own unique skills.
There is a so-called 'Little Fairy on the Po Terrace' who is good at magic tricks. She is not very old, and I think the young lady would like her more. Otherwise, I am afraid that the young lady will not be used to living in such a simple place on this island."
Xia Xun smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "Oh? That's great. When the emperor was still King Yan, Brother Xue served as a guard in the palace. You should know that our emperor is a theater fan, especially likes ghost plays. Please accept our emperor's request.
Influence, I also like some fairy tales, but I can't understand those babbling plays, so I have to settle for the second best, juggling. Haha, the troupe you hired is good. Not only will my daughter like it, but I will too.
like very much!"
“Really? That’s great!”
, her magic skills are unpredictable. A few days ago, she was on the stage in this courtyard. She set up a rope as a pillar in the air, climbed up and disappeared without a trace. After a while, she flipped down from the somersault, and her hand
Holding a big longevity peach in his hands. The general didn’t really like these things at first, but now he’s a little obsessed with them…”

Putai County, Lin Mansion.
Liu Suifeng, Wu Han, and Wang Shuyao, the three major incense masters, stood in front of Lin Yuqi.
Lin Yuqi said in a deep voice: "Teach suspicious people and things, hide everything that should be hidden? Destroy everything that should be destroyed? This is a matter of losing your head, and you can't be careless."
The three of them responded in succession. Wu Han hesitated for a moment and then asked: "The boss, Shi Song, is still hiding here with us. Do we want to send him away?"
Lin Yuqi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, Shi Song, the big thief, is the leader of the Qingshuibo bandits. This time he was trapped in the shoal by a dragon and was wanted by the officers and soldiers, so he came to our dock and took shelter under our door. If
If we just blast him out like this, wouldn't we make our friends in the world a joke? Besides, since we saved his life, he owes us a favor. If anything happens in the future and it's inconvenient for us to take action, we can turn to them for help. Qingshuibo
The thieves are ruthless and murderous. With the help of this group of people, hum! Even if we unite all the sects in Shandong, it won't be difficult!"
Liu Suifeng asked with some worry: "Master, now the imperial guards are targeting us. It's a blessing to be able to escape this disaster. Are we... still going to expand our power and annex other sects?"
Lin Yuqi glared at him: "You know nothing! How can you do big things with such courage?"
Lin Yuqi smiled coldly and said: "The White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi rebelled a few years ago. The imperial court went all over the world to arrest the White Lotus Sect. Many sects were hit hard. Niu Buye in Jinan was uprooted. Of course, we were also hit hard.
, it was even more so when I was in Texas..., but other sects were also severely damaged. The year before last, the Chen family in Dengzhou Prefecture was inexplicably murdered by their enemies. It is said that it was the Hao family in Lijin Prefecture, and the Chen family and the Hao family fought fiercely.
The market has become a thing of the past. Nowadays, the Peng family has paid little attention to Jianghu affairs. Isn’t this a great opportunity for us to unify the Shandong sect? As for the royal guards..."
Lin Yuqi smiled gloomily: "Do you think they have the spare time to squat in Shandong Mansion all year round and keep an eye on us? The backstage of the Peng family is the Duke of Fu, and the Jin Yiwei has to be afraid of Qifen! Peng Ziqi gave us this
It was a good move, and Sai'er, who was exposed, turned into a juggler. Hehe, they will leave sooner or later if they don't catch us, and then it's time for us to take action."
Lin Yuqi squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "When the time comes, ask the people from Wai San Tan to take the lead!"
Wang Shuyao's eyes moved and he said, "What does the shopkeeper mean?"
Lin Yuqi said bitterly: "Tang Yaoju has been dead for six or seven years, but they still don't agree with me. When we want to annex other mountain gates, let them take the lead and borrow the swords of outsiders to destroy the outer three altars."
We have eliminated all the heads and brains. Once these incense owners die, will the ordinary parishioners below still obey our mercy?"
Wu Han raised his thumb and praised: "The shopkeeper's good intentions, I have already disliked those old members of the Tang family in Waisantan. This method is good, killing people without blood!"
"Hehehehehe..." Several people laughed triumphantly.
While they were feeling complacent, Zhu Tu, Ji Younan's Jinyiwei and Dai Yubin, and Xu Jiang's secret flying dragon agent, had already started taking action in unison...
