Chapter 402 is back (two in one)
"Sir, please." The convoy entered the city smoothly.
"Ergou, these people are obviously fat sheep, they definitely won't mind giving more money. What big shots? They are not even checked? Even they are the Imperial Guards, they won't get entangled over such a small matter." Looking at the convoy entering the city, a soldier asked the person who had just stopped him.
He didn't complain because he knew that the other party would not harm him. It wasn't because of their deep brotherly love, but simply because the two of them were here together. He offended a big shot, so who knows if the other party would be implicated.
"Some time ago, when the Jinyiwei went to Qian Kingdom, a big shot of the Jinyiwei came. The squad leader specifically told us at that time that the man's token was a firebird. Just now, he threw me a white tiger token." Ergouzi said.
"Baihu, the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Baihu, Ergou, I'll treat you to a drink." He wiped a cold sweat.
The Jinyiwei are notorious. They are border troops and form two systems. People will not be too afraid of ordinary Jinyiwei, after all, this is the border.
But Baihu is different. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise are one of the factions of Jinyiwei, headed by Azure Dragon. They are very famous and are not ordinary commanders. If you offend them, you will die without knowing how you died.
"They should make a lot of money this time." Watching the convoy leave, although he was lucky, he was still a little disappointed. It can be seen that if Ergou hadn't stopped him, someone would have offered benefits. This was actually what he should do, but it wouldn't be too excessive.
But if Ergou stopped him, there would naturally be no benefit. He still had to treat Ergou to a drink. However, at least he was alive. This group of people seemed to be martial arts masters. He was not afraid of them because of his status. They did not dare to act rashly in Biancheng. If they really offended them, who knew what the consequences would be.
"Why think so much? We are soldiers and we eat food. Living is useful. I'm going to the toilet." Ergouzi said.
"Go ahead." I knew Ergou was going to be lazy, everyone was like that, but since I had just helped him, I definitely couldn't say anything about it.
After a while, Er Gouzi came back. At the same time, some information began to be transmitted to Hulong Villa. The information said that Shen Yujing of Tianxia Escort Agency, with the power of Xi Country's Tianjitang, had passed the customs with the White Tiger Order and had already set foot in Ming Dynasty. The intelligence of Hulong Villa was still quite complete in Ming Dynasty.
……
"I never thought that a token could have such a great effect." He Xiaohui exclaimed. She had already made preparations. She was not afraid of the search. What she brought was different from the Liangyi Fairy. What she brought was not gold, silver or other treasures. Her family was a money shop, and it was useless for her to bring those things. She just kept the silver bills close to her body.
The things she brought were things that others couldn't tell what they were made of. They looked simple, but they were very powerful when assembled. Of course, they were also very valuable, so she was not afraid of being checked. However, she also prepared bribes and was well prepared before coming.
But she was not afraid, but Fairy Liangyi was afraid. She brought all the treasures with her, so Shen Qingzhou naturally had to take action.
This White Tiger token was brought to him by Suzaku this time. Baihu knew he was in Xi Country, so he brought him a token for fear that he would be in trouble. It was normal for Baihu to know he was in Xi Country, after all, Xi Country had passed the news to the Ming Dynasty, and Shen Qingzhou, a famous figure in Xi Country during this period, would naturally not keep it to himself.
Baihu was probably afraid that the person he favored would die in Xi State, so he gave him the token. However, he did not expect that when Shen Qingzhou met Zhuque, he had already become a top master.
In fact, Zhuque just brought something for Shen Qingzhou and didn't know what it was. If he knew, he would probably think it was unnecessary.
The relationship between Baihu and Shen Qingzhou is really weird. The two have only met once, but they hit it off right away. Okay, Shen Qingzhou is not like that, but Baihu thinks too highly of him. The two have exchanged a lot of letters.
Shen Qingzhou himself had a general impression of other people, but this big man, Baihu, had helped Shen Qingzhou many times. Even though he knew that he was just a talent addict, he still accepted the favor. This time, he accepted his token for the same reason.
Baihu had informed Shen Qingzhou before, and the fact that Tianxia Escort Agency had no obstacles in the official circles of Hengyang was also due to the help given by Baihu. Although he gradually displayed his martial arts skills and no longer needed Baihu, he was willing to accept this favor.
In fact, he didn't have to use the White Tiger Token when he saw it. After all, his identity as a top master had been exposed. Even if the Ming Dynasty and the Xi Kingdom had a blocked communication channel, the high-ranking officials in the court would definitely know about it.
Whenever he used the White Tiger Order, it was equivalent to saying that White Tiger was his friend. This was completely different. Before, in the eyes of others, he and White Tiger just knew each other. Even if he killed Shangguan Yundun, he was just a master of martial arts and his status could not be compared with White Tiger.
But he was able to fight on equal terms with Huang Yaoshi, which meant that the identities were reversed and the White Tiger was related to him. This was the effect of martial arts.
"In the Ming Dynasty, the reputation of the Jinyiwei is much more frightening than that of the Baichuanyuan. If you want to gain a foothold here, it's better not to mess with them." Shen Qingzhou said.
Fairy Liangyi said nothing. It was easy for her to come out from Xi Country, after all, no one had offended Tianji Hall and Shen Qingzhou. But when she entered Ming Dynasty, she was worried that the soldiers would know about the property she had taken, so she was thinking of using other methods. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingzhou knew her concerns in advance and told her not to be afraid.
Everyone replenished their supplies at the border, rested for a night, and continued on their journey to Hengyang, which would take another half a month. Given this distance, He Xiaohui and Liangyi Fairy also knew that the Ming Dynasty was much larger than the Xi Kingdom, not to mention its other parts, just in terms of its territory.
They were rushing to Hengyang, the capital, and also received his news.
Hulong Villa.
"The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, interesting. There actually is such a master in the world. Did they underestimate him at the God of Wealth Inn, or did he have a fortuitous encounter?" Tiedan Shenhou looked at the information. He did not go there at the time, but from the information that Gui Hai Yidao brought back, he said that the other party was just an ordinary master.
He didn't take Tianjitang seriously, just a gang force. What he cared about was Shen Qingzhou. He knew this person before, but didn't take him seriously. In his eyes, Shangguan Yundun was not worth mentioning, but the fact that he could compete with Huang Yaoshi was a bit scary.
Moreover, Li Xiangyi of Xi country has reappeared, and Di Feisheng also seems to want to enter Ming Dynasty. We have to be careful. The intelligence network of Hulong Villa is powerful, but it does not mean it knows everything. At least, they don't know that Li Xiangyi is alive.
He guessed that Shen Qingzhou must have had some fortuitous encounter. Never mind, there were too many people in this world and who knew what kind of master would appear. But he was not afraid of anyone as long as you had internal strength, haha.
The Jinyiwei also received the information. The intelligence of the Jinyiwei was no worse than that of the Huolong Villa, and the Jinyiwei was an open and aboveboard intelligence agency.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Brother Shen actually used my token. Haha, it's not me anymore." Baihu saw the information that Shen Qingzhou passed the level with his Baihu token.
What does this represent? Shen Qingzhou's response to him was the response of a top master. He just wanted to enter the Ming Dynasty, not to rebel. Why use this method? He really treated him as a friend.
He also knew about the duel between Shen Qingzhou and Huang Yaoshi. He knew that he could kill Shangguan Yundun, but he could not compare with Huang Yaoshi. Even though he was the eldest brother, he might not be that good in terms of martial arts alone.
His eldest brother is Qinglong. Although Qinglong's martial arts are powerful, he is not a top master like Guo Juxia. His martial arts are a little worse, but he is an expert in assassination and layout. He is well prepared and is also a top master. Otherwise, he would not have joined Guo Juxia to besiege King Xiaoyao.
He himself loves talents and has the intention to invest in them. He has helped others before. After learning about the duel between Shen Qingzhou and Huang Yaoshi, he even laughed at himself, saying that he shouldn't have let Zhuque send the token. It was totally unnecessary. The other person was a top expert, but now that he used it, the meaning was different. ...
"I opened this mountain and planted these trees." Shen Qingzhou took shortcuts along the way and was sure to encounter some bandits. These bandits are not something you can clear out once and then disappear the next time. They keep appearing. Look, he encountered them again, and a large group at that.
The main reason was that they had a large number of people, so those mountain strongholds with fewer people did not dare to rob them. Only some large mountain strongholds had only two or three hundred people, which was the largest number of bandits Shen Qingzhou had ever encountered.
After entering the Ming Dynasty, they did not slow down. Shen Qingzhou was eager to return home, and He Xiaohui and Liangyi Fairy also wanted to settle down quickly. They marched quickly and encountered bandits again, but no one cared at all.
It's obvious from one look that they have no tact. Everyone in the Tianji Hall is equipped with a sword, so this group of people has really offended someone.
Before he could finish his words, there was a flash of a knife. The leader of the bandits, who was holding a large ring knife, was startled and fell off his horse.
At the same time, a horse head fell in front of him, along with a knife, a knife that was much shorter than other normal knives.
"I won't kill you. Let them go." A child riding a horse appeared in front of Dao and said only a few words. This was already the limit. He was really too young and not good at speaking.
Shen Qingzhou was helpless when he saw this scene. Brother Hai was good in every way except for one thing: he liked to kill horses. Shen Qingzhou could understand that he had a kind nature and didn't want to kill anyone. But there was no need to kill the horse. The horse could be sold for a lot of silver. Brother Hai was cutting meat in the tavern, which was horse meat. He was used to killing horses.
The lame man was also very uncomfortable. This was not the kind of horse they ate in the desert. But there was nothing he could do since he had already made the move.
"You." The bandit was a little scared.
"Protect the big brother." Some younger brothers hurried forward, as they were more in number.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way," said the eldest brother.
"Little brother, go away, where are you going?" The eldest brother said calmly, and suddenly a dagger appeared in his hand, stabbing at the unsuspecting boy, but his eyes blurred, and he could no longer hold the knife, and fell down holding his throat.
The other bandits didn't have time to say anything before they realized that their information was wrong. How come everyone in this caravan took out weapons from the cars? They all had long swords, and their weapons were much more complete than theirs. In order to keep a low profile, everyone left their swords in the cars while they were traveling.
"Run." The boss's martial arts skills were quite good, but he was killed instantly by a single sword strike. What was he waiting for if he didn't run?
However, quite a few people were still left behind, all of whom were killed by the hidden weapons thrown by the people from Tianji Hall. This stronghold must be destroyed, it's that simple.
Shen Qingzhou didn't think it was cruel. It was just robbery. Since he had done it, he didn't care whether he was forced or not. He didn't continue chasing them. The group of bandits had already collapsed.
Brother Hai felt a little sad when he saw this scene. He had tried his best to let them go, but why did they want to kill him? If they wanted to kill him, he could only kill him. This was what his father taught him.
"Let's go." The convoy continued to move forward. Hai Ge was riding a horse, not knowing what he was thinking. His lame father kept chattering, telling him that he should not be soft-hearted when he was in the world.
Brother Hai has gotten used to it. He has driven away many bandits along the way, but this time, too many people died.
This was Shen Qingzhou training him, not that Shen Qingzhou asked him to take responsibility, but the lame guy was smart and took advantage of this opportunity to do something.
Although Haomei was worried about Haige, after all, he was her husband, but she was not afraid. For a woman coming from the desert, duels and murders were commonplace. In the desert, the rule was the survival of the fittest, and it was very naked.
Shen Qingzhou looked at Brother Hai and thought of the pair of Wuji swords that he had not yet extracted from his system. They were clearly prepared for Brother Hai. Forget it, let's talk about it when he gets back. He will give it to Brother Hai after he has made some contributions. He is very optimistic about Brother Hai. He has been very efficient in his moves these few times.
He Xiaohui watched this scene and praised in her heart. There were indeed many hidden talents in Xi Country. She was also considered an expert in Xi Country, but it seemed that she was no match for this boy.
As they got closer to Hengyang, Shen Qingzhou's mood improved a lot. This time, he stayed in Xi Country for more than half a year, and including the round-trip journey, eight or nine months had passed.
Hengyang City.
"I'm Wang Dashan from Datong Money House. I've come here specially to greet the distinguished guests from Tianji Hall. Young Master Hua had been planning to come in person, but Old Man Hua's birthday is approaching and he has a lot to do. But he will definitely come after he's done with his work." A fat man in official clothes came to meet everyone outside Hengyang City.
He was asked by the Jiangnan Hua family to help Tianjitang solve the settlement problem this time. After all, the Fang family bank in Xi country has shares in Datong Bank, and the cooperation is good.
Moreover, it was Hua Qillang of the Hua family who spoke up. Although Hua Manlou couldn't see it, everyone knew that he was actually Grandpa Hua's most valued son.
If Tianjitang wants to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty, it needs the endorsement of a powerful force. You can't just be wherever you want, unless you just come here with money and become an official and no one will bother you. But if you want to establish your own power, there will inevitably be some disputes.
Take the Liang Yi Fairy for example. Not many people would care about her. Of course, if people knew she was extremely rich, there might be people who couldn’t resist the temptation.
"Manager Wang, you're too polite." He Xiaohui came out personally. She still needed to collect information about other people, but this Wang Dashan was the chief manager of Datong Money House, so he really put in a lot of effort.
Shopkeeper Wang also respects Shen Qingzhou very much. He is a true friend of Mr. Hua. To be honest, if it weren't for Shen Qingzhou, Hua Manlou might not care about the relocation of Tianji Hall.
In fact, He Xiaohui had figured this out. She did not stay in Hengyang, but followed Shen Qingzhou directly to Qixia Town. Her destination was also Qixia Town.
Shen Qingzhou looked at the familiar street and came back.
