Chapter 219 Successfully captured
Time goes back to a few days ago, when the Qin brothers were just recruited.
The reconnaissance team and the escort team led by Zhou Da, Ma Jin, and Hu Guangcong are now divided into two, half of which will follow Yang Wei Escort Agency back to Chang'an, and the other half will stay in Xiangping.
Yang Wei Escort Agency is very important, where they have almost all their belongings, and they have to ensure that this batch of medicinal materials is safe. In addition, they have to escort the relatives of the Sixth Young Master's wife from Chang'an to Pingzhou. Anyway, the task is not easy.
Hu Guangcong was kicked out by Zhou Da and Ma Jin, and he led the people and the people from Yang Wei Escort Agency to escort those precious medicinal materials back to Chang'an.
This guy had lived too comfortably with the prince and his party before, and he had grown fat. Now he is going on another trip, just in time to lose weight.
The troops left in Xiangping also have a heavy task. They are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the Qin family, young and old, and waiting for orders.
Therefore, they soon learned that the Xiangping military settlement had drawn male prisoners to support Liaoyang.
The people in the military settlements were even more frantic, recruiting men from the streets. Anyway, it was not intentional. They would just take away anyone they saw walking on the streets. The men near the military settlements in Xiangping were so scared that they all huddled at home and dared not show up.
Zhou Da and Ma Jin looked at each other. Well, the prince and his men were all conscripted, so they naturally could not be left behind.
Zhou Da immediately said, "Ma Jin, I will select 20 people to go to Liaoyang to protect the prince and his men. You and the remaining six or seven brothers will stay in Xiangping to protect the second young master and the sixth young master's wife."
"Why should you go and I stay? I will follow with the troops, and you stay." Ma Jin refused, he also wanted to go to war!
Zhou Da glared at him, but the other party did not disobey him and glared back.
Zhou Da knew that if he did not show some real skills, the other party would not give up, so he said, "Then play rock-paper-scissors? The loser stays."
"Okay, let's play rock-paper-scissors, and one round will determine the winner!"
In the end, Ma Jin lost.
Zhou Da said, "Pick a few brothers to stay!"
Ma Jin glared at him and muttered in his heart, Zhou Da is not a good man, he always makes me do things that offend people!
As expected, everyone wanted to fight and make meritorious deeds. When he looked at his brothers, they all dispersed, leaving only an open space for him.
"Time is urgent, Ma Jin, hurry up!" Zhou Da urged.
Ma Jin immediately yelled at the group of bastards, "I won't talk nonsense with you, I close my eyes, and whoever I point my finger at will stay."
Soon, the people who stayed were selected. They stood aside obediently, there was no way, they were selected like this, it was bad luck for them.
"Let's go, let's go!" One by one they pushed excitedly.
It's just a matter of being captured as a strong man, they know how to do this!
So Zhou Da led twenty people, one by one, and they appeared in the streets of Xiangping at irregular points, and then they were successfully captured.
…
After reading the official reports of Chang'an City in the past two or three months, Xie Zhan's eyes fell on Zhang Xian's resume and he remained silent.
He did not expect that in just two months, the situation in the court of Chang'an City would become like this, especially in Zuo Anmin, where Zhang Xian had directly divided such a large piece of power.
He knew Zhang Xian. As early as the age of thirteen, he had decided to take the path of official career. His grandfather asked him to recite the resumes of officials in office.
These people are all noteworthy. They are particularly outstanding in some aspects. Zhang Xian is one of them.
When Zhang Xian was exiled to a remote area because of Yan Hua, his grandfather was still alive and had commented that it was normal for people like Zhang Xian to work until they died without the guidance or even support of nobles. Just as he spent more than ten years of his golden time in the border town of Pingzhou, it confirmed his grandfather's words.
Now, the most unlikely thing has happened. Xie Zhan can't help but suspect that Zhang Xian has met a noble person who guides him or promotes him.
Zhang Xian's strong path to power has a bit of Lv Desheng's shadow. They all say that Lv Desheng is Zhang Xian's noble person, and it is Lv Desheng who values talent and guides Zhang Xian a little, which is also to disgust the former Yan Hua.
Xie Zhan always feels that their relationship should be more than what it seems on the surface. They should have a deeper relationship, all because Zhang Xian has changed too much.
Thinking about the Qin family's exile, they must pass through Yanzhou, and Tonghua County, where Zhang Xian worked before, is a must. He can't help but suspect that they had already made peace before Zhang Xian returned to Chang'an.
Sometimes he would wonder if he was thinking too much. But he knew in his heart that this was possible.
Looking at the current situation of Chang'an City, it is very close to his guess.
Therefore, Xie Zhan concluded that Zhang Xian is a member of the Lu family. Even if he is not, his rise to power should also be inextricably linked to the Lu family.
This led to the fact that his original advantage in Chang'an was equalized.
In addition, the new emperor was also making progress, and he learned the way of checks and balances.
Everyone was making progress, except Xie Zhan, who was temporarily stopped.
In addition, in such a situation, it was unknown whether the letter he sent to Chang'an City through the hands of the messenger could achieve the expected effect.
Just when Xie Zhan was in a heavy mood, Zhao Yutan pushed the door open and poured tea for him.
Xie Zhan's eyes fell on the set of curved hem deep clothes she was wearing, which was sent by the Chen family. Chen family...
Zhao Yutan finished filling his tea and was about to go out, but was held by Xie Zhan.
Zhao Yutan's face quickly flushed. After coming to the south, she found that her husband was much closer to her.
Xie Zhan stood up, came to her side, and whispered, "Have you felt better recently?"
Zhao Yutan nodded slightly, "Much better."
"That's good." Xie Zhan hugged her and went to the inner room.
...
Ji Wuyin received a letter from the north, which was delivered by water. He raised his eyebrows. The speed was fast.
During this period, Ji Wuyin thought a lot, and he was more and more sure that the old man must have found a new master. The old man was very afraid of death. If there was no special reason, he would never go to Liaoxi County. It was too close to Xianbei. If he was unlucky, he would be killed if he was not careful.
The reason why the old man could take such a big risk to stay there was not because he found a new master. Because the old man would sacrifice for his great goal, and no other people or things were worth him taking such a big risk.
When Ji Wuyin finished reading the letter, he had only one feeling, that the people behind the old man really wanted to tie Xie Zhan to death on the Chen family's ship.
In Ji Wuyin's opinion, this letter was to ask him to send someone to remind Chen Jiaye, force Xie Zhan to marry Chen's daughter, and use the marriage relationship to bind the two tightly.
It can be seen that this plan is aimed at Xie Zhan, not the Chen family.
The person behind the old thing has a grudge against the Xie family? He scratched in his mind, and the forces that have a grudge against the Xie family and are currently in the north were picked out one by one, and then crossed out one by one...
