Chapter five hundred and seventy third ginger is still old and spicy
At the intersection about one mile south of Yongning Gate, a group of people were waiting for something.
Among them is a luxurious carriage.
Behind and behind was a guard of fifty people, fully armed and holding weapons in hand. Passersby hurried away when they saw it.
Beside the carriage, two young eunuchs looked at the sky and said: "Your Highness, let's leave early. We are going to Jiannan. The mountains are high and the water is long. We don't know when we will arrive. There are countless jackals, tigers and leopards along the way.
If you are a ruthless person, please arrive a day early so that you can reply to His Majesty!"
Li Ke stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the east road, and said: "No, I will never leave until I see the teacher."
"But the Marquis of Huyi County will not come. If he could come, he would have come long ago!"
"Your Highness, although you have a close friendship with the Marquis of Huyi County, everyone in Chang'an knows that the Marquis of Huyi County does not value friendship but values money. Now that you are going to a fiefdom, how could he come to see you!"
Li Ke shook his head: "No, the teacher is not that kind of person!"
At this time, a horse suddenly appeared in the distance. The horse came quickly. Li Ke just showed joy, but found that the person who came was not Du He, but one of his subordinates.
The subordinate came to the front, jumped off the horse, and said: "Your Majesty, someone has just sent news. Your Majesty has ordered that the Marquis of Huyi County is not allowed to leave the Dream Group, let alone contact you in private. Therefore, the Marquis of Huyi County will not
coming!"
Li Ke gritted his teeth and said, "No, I don't believe it. The teacher will definitely come to see me! He must have something to say to me!"
"Your Highness!"
"Today, I will never leave without seeing the teacher!"
Everyone tried their best to persuade Li Ke, but they could not persuade him.
Everyone waited like this.
A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour.
Two hours passed.
The sun has set to the west.
On the official road to the east, there was still no trace of Du He.
Finally, Li Ke said disappointedly: "Let's go!"
"Set off!"
Two young eunuchs helped Li Ke get into the carriage.
The guards got on their horses and headed south with great momentum.
…
In the distance, on the hills.
Du He rode on the horse and watched Li Ke's motorcade disappear into the distance.
Zhang Jian asked: "Master, why don't you meet with the King of Shu?"
Du He waved his hand: "The situation in Jiannan, or Shu, is not simple. When the King of Shu goes there, he will definitely have a hard time. He has to face everything by himself. What this young master can do to help him is limited. Instead of
To give him hope, it is better to cut off his thoughts... Tell Yiyue to send a few smart people to secretly protect the King of Shu to Chengdu Mansion, and then start doing business in Chengdu Mansion. There are still many good things in Shu.
If we can establish business links between Dream Group and Shu, we will not have to worry about making a fortune in the future."
"yes!"
Du He waved his hand: "It's time for us to set off!"
"drive!"
"drive!"
Du He rode down the hill, followed by Zhang Jian, Xu Zhengdao, Guishen, Lu Bu and others, heading towards Tongzhou.
Tongzhou is located to the east and north of Chang'an, more than two hundred miles away. In later generations, it only took a few hours to drive, but in this era, the roads are winding. Calculating, the distance is at least five hundred miles.
If you ride a fast horse, it will take at least two days, and if you ride a horse-drawn carriage with a bumpy ride, it will be even slower.
Therefore, at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meeting, everyone believed that it would take at least three days to get from Chang'an to Tongzhou. They had no idea how Du He got Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baolin to Chang'an.
Du He was not in a hurry, and wandered around with everyone. On the third day, he arrived at the border of Tongzhou. On the morning of the fourth day, he arrived at Dali County, the seat of the capital of Tongzhou.
Seeing that they can enter Dali County tonight, everyone is a little excited.
When they arrived at the foot of a mountain, Du He suddenly raised his hand and said: "Set up camp and spend the night here tonight. Right way, you take a few people to see if there are any living creatures around and hunt some. Ghosts and gods will take ten people."
Detect the situation ahead... Lu Bu is responsible for guarding, and the rest of the people should rest where they are!"
The ghost asked curiously: "Master, we are just going to Tongzhou to serve as officials, not to fight. How come we are practicing as scouts?"
Along the way, everyone was very relaxed, but Du He suddenly became nervous, which everyone was not used to.
Du He looked at the road in the distance and said, "It's better to be careful!"
"yes!"
Immediately, the ghosts and gods took ten people as scouts to investigate.
Not long after, Xu Zhengdao and others came back. Spring had just arrived, and all the prey in the mountains were very thin. They only hunted a goat and a few pheasants.
…
The capital of Tongzhou, Dali County.
The entire Dali County looks dusty, which is quite different from the prosperous Chang'an City.
The Dou family's mansion occupies more than one-third of the entire county.
Ordinary people should stay out of the way within a mile or so of the door of Dou's Mansion. Otherwise, if they offend the people in Dou's Mansion, they will be scolded at least, or beaten up at worst.
The backyard of Dou Mansion.
Dou Xianren hurriedly walked into the study.
Dou Aiwei, the head of the Dou family, was sitting upright in the middle of the room. What was under his butt was a revolving wooden chair produced by the Datang Furniture Factory. If it were really produced by the Datang Furniture Factory, there would be no more than 0 chairs in the entire Dali County. As for all kinds of
There are too many weird imitations.
Dou Xianren stepped forward, shouted away the servants on the left and right, and said: "Dad, our people just sent a message. Du He will be arriving this evening! Dad, this time Du He comes to Tongzhou with great force. At the time, Yuchi Baolin
I'm afraid that killing my younger brother has touched His Majesty's heart. This time... I'm afraid..."
Snapped.
Dou Aiwei slapped the table and said: "Hmph, Yuchi Gong has been fighting all his life and is a famous butcher of Yuchi. So what if he comes to Tongzhou? Even if he is a tiger, he will have to lie down obediently when he arrives in Tongzhou. Du He is just a wet boy.
Boy, do you really think that Tongzhou is the city of Chang'an? Although the world is peaceful now, there is no shortage of desperadoes. Du He behaves in a arrogant way. If he is killed by a strongman, Chang'an will not be able to do anything..."
Dou Xianren's eyes lit up: "Dad, what do you mean?"
"Don't ask about this matter. Dad has his own way. Du He won't be able to reach Dali this evening, he won't be able to arrive tomorrow, and he won't be able to arrive the day after tomorrow... He will never arrive!" Dou Aiwei said with a sneer.
Dou Xianren was surprised and said: "But, Dad, Du He is the son of Prime Minister Du. If something happens to him... I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Do you think dad is not doing things well? Huh, the exact news is that Du Xiang is about to retire. Du He's work has made people angry and has many enemies. We are not the only ones who want him dead.
, By then, even in the wilderness of Du He's body massacre and the anger in Chang'an, someone will come out to quell the anger. Not only will I, the Dou family, not be implicated, but I will receive huge benefits!" Dou Aiwei said confidently.
When Dou Xianren heard this, he understood everything.
"Dad, as expected, ginger is still spicy when old!"
