God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 574 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 was a luxurious carriage.

In the front and back is a guard composed of 50 people, fully armed and holding weapons. Passers-by saw it and hurriedly avoided it.

Beside the carriage, two young eunuchs looked at the sky and said, "Your Highness, let's leave early. We are going to Jiannan. There are high mountains and long rivers. I don't know when we will arrive. There are countless wolves, tigers and leopards along the way. There are ruthless people robbing, so I can reply to His Majesty's letter one day sooner!"

Li Ke stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the avenue to the east, and said, "No, I will never leave unless I see my teacher."

"However, the Marquis of Huyi County will not come. If he could come, he would have come a long time ago!"

"Your Highness, although you have a deep friendship with the Marquis of Huyi County, everyone in Chang'an knows that the Marquis of Huyi County does not value friendship but money. Now that you are going to fief, how can 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, and 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 him, jumped off his horse, and said, "His Royal Highness, someone has sent a message just now. His Majesty ordered that the Marquis of Huyi County shall not 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, if I don't see the teacher, I will never leave!"

Everyone tried hard to persuade Li Ke, but they failed to persuade Li Ke.

Everyone waited like this.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour.

Two hours passed.

The sun is already westward.

On the official road to the east, there is still no sign of Du He.

Finally, Li Ke said disappointedly: "Let's go!"

"set off!"

Two young eunuchs supported Li Ke into the carriage.

The guards got on their horses and headed south in a mighty manner.

……

In the distance, on the hills.

Du He rode on the steed, watching Li Ke's convoy disappear into the distance.

Zhang Jian asked, "Master, why don't you meet the King of Shu?"

Du He waved his hand: "The situation in Jiannan, or Shu, is not simple. The king of Shu will definitely sharpen it up after he goes. He has to face everything by himself. There is only so much this young master can do to help him. Give him hope, it's better to stop his thoughts... Tell Yiyue, 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 Land, If we establish a business relationship between the Dream Group and the Shu region, we will not worry about making a fortune in the future."

"Yes!"

Du He waved his hand: "Let's go too!"

"drive!"

"drive!"

Du He rode his horse down the hill, followed by Zhang Jian, Xu Zhengdao, Guishen, Lu Bu and others, heading towards Tongzhou.

Tongzhou is located in the east-north of Chang'an, more than 200 miles apart. In later generations, it would only take a few hours to drive, but in this era, the roads are winding. Calculated, the distance is at least five hundred miles. It takes at least two days for a horse, and it will be even slower if the carriage rides bumpy all the way.

Therefore, at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Conference, everyone believed that it would take at least three days to go from Chang'an to Tongzhou. They didn't know how Du He got Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baolin to Chang'an.

However, Du He was not in a hurry, and led the crowd wandering around. He arrived at the boundary of Tongzhou on the third day, and arrived at Dali County, where the capital of Tongzhou is located, in the morning of the fourth day.

Seeing that they could enter Dali County tonight, everyone was a little excited.

At the foot of a mountain, Du He suddenly raised his hand and said, "Set up camp and spend the night here. Righteous way, you take a few people around to see if there are any living things, and hunt some over here. The ghosts and gods will take ten people there Detect the situation ahead... Lu Bu is in charge of vigilance, and the rest should rest on the spot!"

The ghost asked curiously: "Master, we are only going to be an official in the same state, not to fight a war, how did we get out of the scouts?"

Along the way, everyone was very relaxed, but Du He suddenly became tense, and everyone was not used to it.

Du He looked at the road in the distance and said, "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 thin. They only hunted a goat and a few pheasants.

……

The capital of Tongzhou, Dali County.

The entire Dali County looks dusty, and it is not the same as the prosperous Chang'an City.

Dou's mansion occupies more than one-third of the entire county.

Ordinary people, if they walk a mile or so from the gate of Dou's mansion, they should avoid it quickly, otherwise they will be scolded for a few words, and even beaten up if they offend the people in Dou's mansion.

Dou's backyard.

Dou Xianren hurried into the study.

Dou Aiwei, the Patriarch of the Dou family, was sitting in the middle of the room. The chair on his buttocks was the rotating wooden chair produced by the Datang Furniture Factory. If it was really produced by the Datang Furniture Factory, there would not be more than 20 of them in Dali County. There are too many outlandish imitations.

Dou Xianren stepped forward, shouted back the servants on the left and right, and said: "Father, our people sent a letter just now, and Du He will be here this evening! Father, this time Du He came to Tongzhou, and he came here very aggressively. Killing my younger brother, I am afraid that this matter has already touched the bottom of His Majesty's heart, this time... I am afraid..."

Snapped.

Dou Aiwei patted the table and said: "Hmph, Yuchi Gong fought all his life, he is the famous Yuchi butcher, so what if he came to Tongzhou, even a tiger, when he arrived in Tongzhou, he had to lie down obediently, Du He is a young 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 acts ostentatiously. If he is killed by a strongman, Chang'an may not be able to do anything..."

Dou Xianren's eyes lit up: "Father, what do you mean?"

"You don't need to ask about this matter. Father has his own way. Tonight, Du He won't be able to reach Dali, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow...he will never arrive!" Dou Aiwei said with a sneer.

Dou Xianren was surprised and said: "But, father, Du He is the son of Du Xiang, if something happens to him... I'm afraid..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Do you think that Dad's actions are incomplete? Hmph, the exact news, Du Xiang is likely to retreat soon. Du He's work is full of anger and hatred. There are many enemies. We are not the only ones who want him to die. , At that time, even Du He's dead body was killed in the wilderness, and Chang'an's anger will be appeased, and instead of being implicated, I, Dou, will get huge benefits!" Dou Aiwei said confidently.

When Dou Xianren heard the words, he understood everything.

"Father, sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!"

"That's natural...natural..."
