Chapter 178 exile in Qianzhou
"Where shall we go then?" Yang Ying asked.
"Go to a nearby county or state!" Ji Taixu said, "Li Kongxiang will definitely expect that we will return to Yujing. He doesn't know which direction we are going back from. He must be ambushed around Yujing and wait for us to go back and fall into the net. After arriving at the nearby state or county, I will release the contact of the Imperial City Department, attracting Chicheng Laoman, Chen Heling and others to come and protect us back!"
"Wouldn't Li Kongxiang think of this?" Yang Ying said, "If he finds your contact, won't we be exposed?"
"There is a set of contact methods in the Imperial City Department!" Ji Taixu said, "The people in the imperial city are everywhere. Even if he can guess this, he is helpless! He wanted to kill me, but in fact, he had failed when we escaped from the cave! Even if it is ambushed around Yujing, there is only a trace of sneak attack!"
After the two walked to this village, they really attracted the attention of many natives. The people here are wearing black coarse cloth and their heads wrapped in black scarves, which is the custom of the people here. Ji Taixu and Yang Ying are both born in high school, with outstanding temperament and satin. Naturally, they are like cranes standing in this small village.
"I don't know where you two are?" After the two arrived, an old man came to Ji Taixu and asked surrounded by a group of young people.
Ji Taixu smiled at the old man and said, "The two of us got lost in the deep mountains and inadvertently arrived here. I don't know where we are under our jurisdiction? How far is it from the nearest county?
The old man looked at the two carefully and saw that they were dressed brightly and were not like lost in the deep mountains. Although he was puzzled, he also said, "This is located at the junction of Jiannan Road and Huguang Road. This small village is called Heizhizhai. The nearest county is Shanyin County, which is about 300 miles away!"
"Three hundred miles?" Ji Taixu frowned: "It's so far!"
"Ha ha!" The old man said, "However, people in black villages usually buy some salt candles and so on to go to Qianzhou, which is only a hundred miles away!" If the two are interested, the old man will find a descendant to take the two of them.
"Good!" Ji Taixu nodded: "I don't know if there is a carriage in the stockade?"
"The small village is located in a remote area, and the road is inconvenient. There is no carriage, but there are two horses! It's a common thing in the village, and it's enough to walk!" The old man said.
"Axiu! Your stockade is so far away from the state city. Is it convenient to live on weekdays? In the valley path, two horses galloped one after another. Ji Taixu and Yang Ying rode a horse together and followed a young man of more than 20 in the stockade, who was called A Xiu.
"This gentleman!" Hearing this, A Xiu turned his head and said to Ji Taixu, "There is nothing to use in the stockade, but every few days you have to enter the state to do some salt, candles, cloth and so on. It doesn't matter if it's convenient or inconvenient. Grandpa said that it's far from the state city, and it's still very quiet, and there are few officials to disturb you."
"Does anyone in your stockade study?" Ji Taixu asked.
A Xiu smiled impruly: "I heard from the people in the stockade that Grandpa had read books and worked as an official when he was young. Later, he didn't know why he stopped doing it. He returned to the stockade and asked the teenagers in the stockade not to be officials!"
"Oh!" Ji Taixu smiled and said, "Your grandfather is a strange man! Xiu, have you got married yet?"
"Yes!" Xiu said happily, "My mother-in-law gave birth to a child for me last year!" However--" Ah Xiu glanced at Yang Ying and said, "My mother-in-law is incomparable to my father-in-law!" The prince seems to have come out of the painting!"
When Yang Ying heard the words, her face turned red and lowered her head and didn't say anything. Ji Taixu's face darkened when she heard the words and thought to herself, "I had told Huayu to pick her up in Jiujiang, but I haven't gone, and I don't know how Huayu is now!"
Yang Ying turned her head to talk to Ji Taixu, but found that Ji Taixu fell into meditation and swallowed the words in her mouth.
"Father!" Ah Xiu called back Ji Taixu and asked, "How did you get lost in the old forest! The old forest is boundless. I heard that there are many beasts and jackals in it, but it's dangerous! The men in our stockade go hunting only less than 50 miles near the stockade, and they dare not go inside!"
"We also went in by accident!" Ji Taixu smiled and said, "But we are lucky that we haven't met any beasts, but we have seen a lot of footprints of beasts!" Ji Taixu looked at Yang Ying and smiled.
At dusk, the three finally saw Qianzhou City.
"Wow--" Ji Taixu sighed: "Finally arrived in Qianzhou!" Ji Taixu and Yang Ying met and smiled.
"It's not good!" Xiu suddenly complained.
"What's wrong?" Ji Taixu asked.
"We're late!" Xiu said, "The gate has been closed!" Ji Taixu and Yang Ying saw that the gate had been closed and the bridge through the moat had also been hoisted.
"This is a good thing!" Ji Taixu smiled, and then rode his horse under the gate and shouted at it, "Open the door!"
A soldier at the head of the city poked his head out: "Fuck, what the hell is it called! I'm blind! I didn't see that the gate was closed!"
Ji Taixu took out a jade token in his hand: "The imperial city commander's card is here! Open the door quickly!"
The soldier above heard this and shook his whole body. He quickly withdrew his head and didn't know where he had gone. After a while, a man in armor poked his head out and looked at a man and a woman on the horse and said, "But do you claim to have the imperial city commander's card?"
When Ji Taixu heard this, he couldn't help but be angry and shouted, "Open the door!!!" With this roar, the armored man quickly said to the people around him, "Open it quickly! Maybe it's really the lord of the Imperial City Division!"
In the harsh creak, the suspension bridge on the moat was slowly lowered, the gate was opened, and a group of moat soldiers with weapons surrounded Ji Taixu and the other three. Before they could speak, Ji Taixu threw the jade card in his hand to the leading armored man. The man grabbed it, took out a picture, looked at each other, and then bowed back to Ji Taixu and said, "Your excellency is just a routine."
"It doesn't matter!" Although Ji Taixu was unhappy, he had to nod and said, "You're just careful. It doesn't matter!" Then he pulled his horse into the city. After taking two steps, Ji Taixu suddenly stopped and asked, "Is there a spring breeze tower in Qianzhou City?"
The leading man was stunned and said, "There is an official residence in Qianzhou City, and adults can stay there!" If it is a spring breeze building--" The man said the address of the spring breeze building.
Ji Taixu nodded and went towards the Spring Breeze Tower with the sound of closing the city gate.
"Father!" A Xiu came to Ji Taixu and said, "You are really awesome. You can open the door of the state city with a small sign!" This brand of the prince is so amazing!"
Ji Taixu smiled gently and said nothing. When the two came to the Spring Breeze Building, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him: "Three guests, you want to stay in the hotel! Our Chunfeng Building has a clean guest room--
"Call your shopkeeper!" Ji Taixu and Yang Ying got off the horse and said. The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard Ji Taixu's words. He just looked at Ji Tai's extraordinary temperament and did not dare to neglect him. He went back and called the shopkeeper over. After a while, the big belly put on the satin shopkeeper and greeted him: "I don't know what to call--" Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he saw a unique jade card in Ji Taixu's hand and quickly bent down and said, "Please!" Although the second child next to him was unknown, several people diligently led two horses and pulled them into the backyard.
The shopkeeper led the three people into a delicate and independent courtyard.
"Prepare some meals!" Ji Taixu said, "Take a few more clothes suitable for this girl!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper bent down and said.
"And!" Ji Taixu said, "Take this friend down and treat him well!"
"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper bent down and said, "Don't worry, don't worry!" Then he said to Xiu, "This guest, come with me!"
"Why is he so humble to you! It seems that he has something in your hand. What's your relationship with this person? Yang Ying followed Ji Taixu to the main hall in the small courtyard and asked.
"I heard that several people in the Ministry of Ceremonies went to your father to sue me!" Ji Taixu sat on a round chair in the main hall and stretched out his legs and said, "Is it about me to open a private shop and compete with the people!"
Yang Ying suddenly understood: "Spring Breeze Tower is your industry! How is this possible!"
Ji Taixu smiled gently: "Why is it impossible!"
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful!" Yang Ying said with admiration, "Chunfenglou Inn covers three hundred states and counties, but I didn't expect it to be your industry! However, the court ordered to ban court officials from entering shops and so on. You are a blatant violation of the court's ban! Aren't you afraid that someone in the court will join you?
Ji Taixu grinned: "I'm not the only one doing this in the court!" It's just that everyone is tacit. I used to be an idle marquis, and they didn't want to care about it. Now I want to manage it, but I can't control it. As soon as I became an official, I entered the Imperial City Department. The files of the Imperial City Division recorded many officials' shady things. So they only dare to go to your father's place to complain!"
When Yang Ying heard this, her face changed. She opened her mouth to say something, but she swallowed back.
When Ji Taixu saw Yang Ying's appearance, he smiled and said, "Your father is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, otherwise no one would have come to him to complain!"
