4, arrive
Now that I see this jade pendant representing the direct line of the Cheng family, Cheng Youlu is full of surprises. What is surprising is that the son of the Cheng family has an unpredictable temper. If there is anything to offend him, even if his life is over, he will never want to have a good life in the Cheng family. The happy thing is that there is this royal army as an umbrella. This journey must be safe and sound.
Cheng Yuanjia didn't think too much about this kind of little person. After casually asking a few business matters, she let him go out. In the Cheng family's industrial chain, there are many such people, who are only responsible for transportation and deployment, as well as the transmission of some commercial information, which is of little importance to her.
This time, let this caravan follow the team for the sake of belonging to Chengjia's industry. By the way, I also want to know the distribution of Chengjia's commercial network in the southeast. Jiangnan is the base camp of the Cheng family. Although the southeast region is a little biased, it is at least a part of the south of the Yangtze River. It will be more beneficial for you to know more about the situation.
In the busy schedule, the night began to fall. The maid brought by Cheng Yuanjia was a good cook. With the help of two servants, she built a simple stove and cooked dinner. It was also because Cheng Yuanjia himself did not know how to cook, so she took the maid with her. There had been an inn and post house a long way. At this time, without these facilities, the maid's ability was revealed.
On the surface, Cheng Yuanjia brought a car of things, but in fact, it really brought far more than that. A lot of things are hidden in the quaint ring on Cheng Yuanjia's finger. When you want to use it, you can secretly put it in the car and let the servants take it out again. So a strange situation happened. Every time something that could not be found could be found immediately after Cheng Yuanjia reminded him. At first, the two servants thought that they had a bad memory, but many times, the two also felt strange. However, they did not have the courage to ask Cheng Yuanjia in person, just thinking that they were too slow.
There are still more than ten days' journey from Yaozhou to Minzhou, half of which need to sleep in the wild. Cheng Yuanjia is taking care of it in the dark, and the journey is very smooth. However, the cottages on both sides were unlucky, and Cheng Yuanjia, who was wandering around, took it clean. As for robbing this obviously extraordinary army under the royal flag, they dare not dare to do so for dozens of them. It doesn't matter if they usually rob and rob the merchant team. At least they are all soft persimmons. When they meet mountain thieves, they also like to break money and eliminate disasters. When they are not tired of life, they will never fight with the army.
Blessed by the Seventh Prince's Team, the Cheng family's caravan followed closely and also had a safe journey. They arrived at their destination, Qianzhou without any waves.
After a day's rest in Qianzhou to supplement the supply, the team of the seventh princes set out again. There are still three days to go, and they will arrive at the final goal of this trip, Minzhou.
The seventh prince rode on the edge of Cheng Yuanjia's carriage as usual. People who didn't understand thought that the people in the carriage were the right master, and the seventh prince was just a guard. Along the way, the seventh prince persuaded Cheng Yuanjia to learn to ride a horse several times, but he was blocked back by Cheng Yuanjia because he was too tired to sit on the horse. In the end, the seventh prince didn't mention this stubble and let her bump in the carriage.
The soldiers got along with this "Cheng Gongzi" and gradually figured out the temper of this "Cheng Gongzi". Although he is unreasonable many times, he always takes into account the needs of the people around him and creates the best conditions for them without moving. For example, if he eats dry food when he rests in the wild, he will ask his servants to bring them a lot of water. If he is not prepared enough, he will take out the dry food he brought and distribute it. It's just that when he distributes dry food, he will shout, "I've never seen you like this. You won't calculate. If you bring some dry food, you will be short of catties. Take it and get it. I'm very kind-hearted. I'll sell it to you at half price and collect money directly from the seventh prince.
Of course, the seventh prince did not pay a penny for it in the end. He said so, just wanted the soldiers to inherit the feelings of the seventh prince.
These bodyguard soldiers are either completely loyal to the King of Qi and Prince Qian, or the well-trained royal army loyal to the royal family in the imperial army. There is no doubt about the loyalty of these people. Only the dozens of big guards allocated by the emperor to the seventh prince are a little unreliable. After all, these people have more or less contact with the members of the court or some forces in the harem. On the surface, they were sent by the emperor to protect the seventh prince. Only they knew what they did secretly.
However, there is no need to worry about these. Who is Cheng Yuanjia? On the way, she leaked information to the outside world and leaked the whereabouts of the seventh prince. For more than ten days along the way, I screened all those who had a strong heart. Under the control of Cheng Yuanjia, these eyeliners from various forces have also become loyal subordinates of the seventh prince.
When she arrived in Minzhou, Cheng Yuanjia lived in a courtyard that had been prepared for her for a long time. This courtyard is still a little far from Minzhou City, but it is quite close to the seaside. When you are condescending, you can also see the scenery of the seaside. The biggest convenience here is that it is very close to the military camp where the seventh prince is going. As long as you ride a fast horse, you can go back and forth in half a day.
Send Cheng Yuanjia to live in this luxurious house on the mountainside. The seventh prince left several bodyguards to protect her, and he hurried to the military camp with people. Because of the change of course, he has arrived two days later than expected. Of course, he can't delay any longer.
When he came to the barracks, Tang Jun, the governor of the navy, had already received the news that he had already set up the incense case at the door of the barracks.
The seventh prince immediately read the imperial edict and lived in the barracks in the name of the imperial envoy, and began his career as governor.
In the evening of the same day, several bodyguards he left for Cheng Yuanjia all returned to his barracks. The reason was that he was driven out by Mr. Cheng, saying that he did not need their protection, and he would arrange people to protect himself.
The stubbornness to Cheng Yuanjia was enough for the seven princes along the way. He just smiled when he heard the words and let the guards return to the team by themselves. Since Cheng Yuanjia has her own arrangements, she will definitely not want these bodyguards, because on the surface she has nothing to do with the royal family. Let the royal bodyguards protect a civilian. If it falls into the ears of people with ulterior motives, something will happen. The seventh prince was concerned and confused. At first, he just wanted to protect her. He didn't want to give her a few of the best inner guards, and Cheng Yuanjia did not refuse to lose his face in public. Now after she retreated, she thought about it carefully and understood the stakes.
In fact, Cheng Yuanjia has another layer of concern. When she got to her own territory, she didn't want to pretend to be someone else's identity anymore, which was quite tiring. Along the way, so many people watched that it was not easy for her to restore women's clothing. Now she finally arrived at her home and continued to dress up for a few uninvolving people. She felt wronged. The people in this manor are her confidants and will not reveal her true identity. As long as she wants, she can move freely in this place without being exposed by anyone.
Cheng Yuanjia usually lives a simple life and does not come into contact with too many strangers. There is Chengjia industry in Minzhou City that has been taken down by her. As long as you tell her, someone will naturally do it well. So in this manor near the mountain and the sea, Cheng Yuanjia began a new life.
It was half a month after the seventh prince saw Cheng Yuanjia again. For half a month, he has been busy familiarizing himself with the establishment and training content of the barracks, and also went on a patrol with the first detachment of the navy. Because he had never been to sea and was bumped by the waves, a handsome face was white, which shocked Tang Jun and quickly came back early.
The sea boat is not as good as in the inland river, and there will be no too rapid water flow in the river where large ships can pass, so when sailing, the boat is also stable. It's not like the sea. If there is no wind, it will set off a three-foot sea. It's not a good temper every day. If there is a little wind and rain, it's enough for the people on the ship to drink a pot.
The seventh prince was raised in the barracks for three days before he finally recovered. For a while, no one dared to let him get on the boat again, so he came to visit Cheng Yuanjia, who had settled down for the time being.
On the mountainside behind the manor, Cheng Yuanjia found a platform extending out, arranged a tea stove, and was drinking by himself. When the seventh prince came, the guards were left in the manor, and only he was allowed to walk to Cheng Yuanjia. The seventh prince knew very well that she didn't like to be noisy, and didn't care about her very unreasonable behavior in the eyes of outsiders. Seeing that Cheng Yuanjia had regained her beauty, she understood the reason why she didn't see those bodyguards.
