Ning Guzhou saw Utola jumping into the river at the bow of the boat, and he reached out and raised the bow and arrow in his hand, preparing to shoot him through the heart.
Tang Miaoxin stretched out her hand and pressed his bow and said, "Leave them alone."
Ning Guyzhou looked over at her, and she smiled slyly: "They just suspected that we were from Emperor Qi Xuan or Zuo Xingzhi."
"I think this misunderstanding is quite good. Let them live and expand this misunderstanding."
If this debt is settled on Zuo Xingzhi, it will probably intensify the conflict between Linyuan and the Zuo family. They can just watch the excitement.
Ning Guzhou immediately understood what she meant. He glanced coldly at Utola and others who were floating in the river.
Those who dare to take advantage of Tang Miao's ideas are not worthy of living in this world.
It's just that Utola is still useful now, so let's keep him alive.
The next time he saw Uttara, it would be when Uttara died.
He put away his bow and arrows, ordered the ship to be turned around, and loaded the remaining guards, horses, luggage and other items onto the ship.
The large ships they found before were used to transport various materials from the Qi State treasury, so they chose to take the land route.
Now Uttara has sent them a ship, it will be in vain if it is not used.
After all, they currently have limited manpower, and it would take a lot of manpower to transport everything on the ship.
In order to save their lives, Utola and the counselor jumped into the river and swam desperately to the other side of the river.
Utola was poisoned by Tang Miaoxin. The poison made him suffer terribly, but it could not kill him.
He was in so much pain that he could hardly swim, so he relied on his counselors and the guards who jumped into the river with him to pull him to the shore.
They were afraid that Ning Guzhou and his party would pursue them, so they ran for their lives as soon as they landed on the beach.
Acting out the whole show, Ning Guzhou sent a team of guards in a small boat to chase them.
There was a fight between the two waves of men on the shore. Utola's guards tried their best to protect him and his advisers from escaping, and almost all of them were killed.
In the end, the two of them grabbed a horse on the side of the road and ran quickly in the direction of Linyuan.
Ning Guzhou sent two more guards to continue the pursuit. They carried out several assassinations on the way, but they narrowly escaped.
By the time they escaped to Linyuan territory, the two of them were already in a miserable state, with scars all over their bodies.
They had soaked in ice water and fled all the way, relying on their thoughts to support them.
After they were rescued by Linyuan's soldiers, they relaxed and immediately fell ill, losing most of their lives.
These are all things for later. At this time, after Ning Guzhou and Tang Miaoxin pulled all the guards and horses onto the boat, she went to see what was loaded on the boat.
The things that Utola brought were placed in the cabin. Tang Miaoxin opened the box with a knife and saw that it was filled with silver and various jewelry.
Some of these properties were gifts from the good relationship between Zhu and Linyuan, and a large part were compensation for Aguza's death in Qi.
Tang Miaoxin clicked her tongue twice: "These big clans in Qi are really not ordinary rich."
She felt a little regretful that this time she only emptied the treasury and did not touch the foundations of other clans.
Now it seems that from the essence of these aristocratic families in Qi State, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are as rich as the enemy of the country.
After thinking about it for a moment, she could understand why these aristocratic families were so rich.
Qi State has experienced several palace changes, but these palace changes did not damage the foundation of these aristocratic families.
And these aristocratic families have accumulated their current wealth for many generations. There was no loss before, and they are still very rich now.
Ning Guzhou said quietly: "It's better if they have money, then Qi will really be in chaos."
Tang Miaoxin understood what he meant after a moment's thought, and she laughed: "That's right."
"Now that Emperor Xuan of Qi is dead, the Zuo family will definitely not be able to suppress these powerful families."
"Which of these aristocratic families has no ambition? And this money is their confidence."
Ning Guzhou nodded, looked in the direction of Zicheng, and said unhurriedly: "Zuo Xingzhi will be able to bear it this time."
"This is a big gift from us. I guess he must be very happy now."
The corners of Tang Miaoxin's mouth twitched: "I think so too."
The two of them smiled at each other.
Zuo Xingzhi, who they thought would be very happy, was actually very worried.
The British government united with many ministers in the DPRK and the Zuo family basically reached a draw.
No matter how Zuo Xingzhi explained that Emperor Qi Xuan was not killed by them, no one believed him.
Zuo Xingzhi knew that for the British Duke and ministers at this time, it was no longer important whether he killed Emperor Xuan of Qi.
The important thing is that Emperor Xuan of Qi is dead. Now Qi has no king, and the bloodline of the royal family has been cut off.
The Zuo family was the one who took the blame for the murder of Emperor Xuan of Qi.
What depresses Zuo Xingzhi the most is that even if Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou escaped, they actually emptied the treasury.
It was only at this time that Zuo Xingzhi truly understood the fundamental reason why Tang Miaoxin stayed in Zicheng.
It's not that they can't escape, but they are accumulating strength and finding time to empty the treasury!
Zuo Xingzhi had previously felt that Qi Jianlan had made a very wrong decision in taking Tang Miaoxin captive, and now he felt that he had also made a very wrong decision in not killing Tang Miaoxin from the beginning.
Tang Miaoxin is a person who perfectly expresses the words "extremely strict" and "black-hearted"!
The ambitious Zuo's father could not calm down at this time.
He wants to gain the world, but he doesn’t want to make an enemy of the whole world in this way!
Zuo's father said with a dark face: "Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou are too shameless!"
Zuo Xingzhi did not comment on this statement. They were all people who played with power. It was not important to them that they were all shameless.
What matters is whether they benefited from it.
This palace change in Qi State has plunged Qi State into turmoil. Such turmoil is unlikely to disappear in a short time.
It seems that only Tang Miaoxin and his party have really benefited.
Zuo's family has suffered a lot this time. If this state continues, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in Zicheng again.
He turned to Zuo's father and said, "Let's withdraw to Jiangdong!"
Zuo's father looked very ugly: "You haven't reached this stage yet, have you?"
Zuo Xingzhi sighed softly: "By the time we get to this point, it will be too late."
Zuo's father knew that Zuo Xingzhi's words made sense, but he would not be willing to give up just like that.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Shall we wait and see?"
Zuo Xingzhi shook his head: "Although we are now evenly matched with the British army, we haven't suffered a big loss yet."
"But now the death of Emperor Qi Xuan falls on us, the Zuo family. When the soldiers from the border come back, we will not be able to hold on."
"Instead of wasting it all in Zicheng, it is better to preserve our strength and return to Jiangdong, the foundation of our Zuo clan."
"After arriving in Jiangdong, we will no longer be as passive as we are now. At least we can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat."
"After we leave Zicheng, the group of people gathered by the British will definitely have different intentions, and their alliance will fall apart."
