Chapter 208 Miss Honglian?
When mentioning the most important thing, Ji Wutian straightened his expression, "If you don't tell me, I'm going to tell you about this too."

Qi Susu asked him what was going on with his eyes.

Ji Wutian said: "Do you still remember that Brother Huang gave me an extra [-] troops to take over before we left?"

Qi Susu nodded, "It seems to be someone from the fiefdom of some vassal king?"

"That's right, it's the 3 Zhenxi Army."

"West?" Qi Susu keenly noticed the key point.

Ji Wutian said: "The vassal king, that is, the fief of King Jing, is located in the two prefectures west of the Great Yin. The westernmost one is next to the border and guarded by the Zhenxi Army. The south side of the fief is the middle one. There are several small counties in another mansion, and further south is Changle Mansion."

Qi Susu was surprised, "So, it's not far from our side." It can even be said to be close to each other.

"That's right. There are endless mountains in Ximu Mansion next to the border. There are many precious medicinal materials growing there. The ice mist lotus is probably there. Jin Yang's body can't be dragged, and the affairs of the fief are handled similarly. We'd better set off to Ximu Mansion as soon as possible, and then inquire about it in detail, and by the way, I can go to King Jing to hand over the [-] soldiers and horses."

Qi Susu frowned and said, "Can King Jing hand him over easily?"

Ji Wutian's eyes were slightly cold, "The Zhenxi Army is not his personal soldier. I am willing to say hello to him just to save him face, not to ask him to agree." Even if he disagrees, he has a hundred thousand The army, can you still be afraid of respecting the king?

"What kind of person is that King Jing? Is it an enemy or a friend?" Ji Wutian's status is precious, so he left the fief rashly, or went to another vassal's territory, I don't know if it would be dangerous.

Ji Wutian briefly told her some old imperial calendars about King Jing.

The current King Jing is actually not the one who was enshrined in the first place. The original King Jing was the brother of the first emperor and Prince Duan. , the old prince Duan is the biggest, followed by the first emperor, and the last is King Jing.

At the time when the first emperor had not ascended the throne, the ambitious old King Jing was thinking about the position of the crown prince because of his mother and concubine with a strong family background. In the end, it was a bad move, and he was suppressed by the first emperor who was still the prince. .

After the first emperor ascended the throne, he resolutely suppressed the old king's mother clan and greatly reduced the power of the old king, and then dispatched the old king to the barren land in the west in disguise. This distribution completely took root in the west, even the current Emperor Ji Wuye ascended the throne, and there was no movement from King Jing's side, as if he had really let go of his ambitions and became a vassal king honestly.

Don't look at King Jing's fief is very close to Changle Mansion. Changle Mansion is also a rich place, but the farther west you go, the more barren it becomes. Even if the kung fu has improved a lot in the past ten years, neither Ximu Mansion nor Jing'an Mansion are particularly good places. .

Will Lao Jing Wang really be satisfied with letting future generations live in this square inch of land forever?Ji Wutian didn't dare to be too optimistic.

Three years ago, the old King Jing passed away, and the son of King Jing inherited the throne and became the new King Jing. In the past three years, on the surface, he has kept his own order, and there have been no changes, but the small actions in private cannot be hidden from the emperor and Ji Wutian.

According to the law, the vassals of the Great Yin can only collect taxes from the fief for their own use, and can support two or three thousand private soldiers as their cronies to protect themselves.

But according to what Ji Wutian got from the emperor, there are more than three to five thousand private soldiers secretly raised in King Jing's fiefdom?I'm afraid there are [-] to [-].

Where did the money to support so many people come from?The tax revenue of the three prefectures of Anyang Mansion is far inferior to that of the fiefdom. Even if there are some private properties in the name of King Jing, it is just a drop in the bucket. King Jing has a large amount of money of unknown origin.

More importantly...

"Do you still remember Lin Hehai, the left servant of the Ministry of War? When the emperor disposed of the Lin family, he also found out that his father was a disciple of Old King Jing."

Qi Susu's heart skipped a beat, "Why are you still involved with that traitor? Could it be that King Jing is also involved with Mandala?"

"It's better not." Ji Wutian narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said in a sinister tone: "It was a distribution back then, if he was so dishonest and dared to collude with other countries, then this respectful king can't stay. .”

Qi Susu pondered and said: "So this time, we still need to investigate whether King Jing and Mandala have any relationship? There is not much time left until Ji Xiaoyang's poison occurs, and he will suffer in one month at most. I don't know how long it will take to go to the west, but I must take him with me, will there be any danger then?"

Ji Wutian caressed her cheek and said: "Don't worry, I won't make fun of our son's safety, even you, I don't worry about rushing to King Jing's place without knowing the situation on his side." Go. Changle Mansion is my place, we can first go to Changle Mansion for a little rectification, ask the locals to find out about the situation in Jing'an Mansion, and make sure there are no major problems before going there."

At that time, whether it is taking over the Zhenxi Army, investigating the details of King Jing, or finding news about Ice Mist Lotus, they can all be carried out step by step.

"It's okay if you know what's in your heart." Qi Susu still trusts Ji Wutian's ability, "If there are a lot of precious medicinal materials in the west, I can just buy more. In case I can't find the ice mist lotus for a while, I will adjust the relieving prescription , try not to make my son suffer too much."

Thinking of Ji Xiaoyang's "nameless Gu" like a time bomb, the two felt heavy in their hearts, and at the same time secretly hated Mandala.

When the poison on my son's body is cured, and I have no worries about the future, I must ask Mandala to get this debt back with interest!
Without further ado, since they decided to go to the west, Ji Wutian and Qi Susu quickly got ready.

The former is mainly to hand over the affairs of Anyang Mansion to Xing Zheng, and let the other party try to hide the fact that he left the fief as much as possible, so as to avoid being first received by King Jing's eyeliner.

Apart from handing over the 'National Beauty' matter to Ziyuan, Qi Susu will make arrangements for her two current patients, Mrs. Bai and Bai Qing.

Bai Qing is fine, she hasn't started the formal treatment yet, she just prescribed prescriptions to regulate her body, as long as she follows the doctor's advice, there will be no problem, but the old lady Bai needs to speed up the first course of treatment and the last remaining treatment, the treatment is over , the next course of treatment is mainly drug treatment, it doesn't matter if she is there or not.

Ji Xiaoyang, who had just integrated into Anyang Academy not long ago, was extremely excited when she heard the news that she was going to the west. Even if she knew that she was not going for a play, but to find herbal medicine to relieve Gu, she didn't feel disappointed. Packed his luggage, let A armed with a bunch of things to eat, play and drink.

The family of three prepared in this way for three days. Except for Xing Zheng and Gu Steward, no one in the entire palace knew that they were going to the west. They just thought they were busy for a while and were going to play in a villa under the name of Ji Wutian on the outskirts of the city. a few days.

Apart from the few guards that Ji Wutian was used to, there were only three maids beside Qi Susu.

A group of people went to Biezhuang first on the surface, but in fact they changed into a carriage that was prepared in advance on the same day and drove away from the Fucheng area quietly. After catching up with Qi Susu who had said hello in advance, they also went to the west to collect Bai Qing The caravan hired by the richest man who needed the medicinal materials was incorporated into the caravan and went to Changle Mansion with them.

Although Changle Mansion and Anyang Mansion are two mansions next to each other, the distance is actually not that close. Between the cities, it takes one or two days to travel by horse-drawn carriage, and the journey takes three to five days. There are more than a dozen of them in one mansion. There are more cities and towns, and it will take almost half a month to reach Changle Mansion and even Jing'an Mansion.

Counting the days when Ji Xiaoyang's Gu poison will attack, the time is really tight, and there is no delay.

Fortunately, the richest man Bai was also anxious to get the medicinal materials as soon as possible, so he hired a caravan at a high price. The only task on the caravan was to collect medicinal materials, so there would be no delay on the way.

The people in the caravan didn't know their identities, and Qi Susu didn't mention them when he greeted the Bai family. He only reminded them not to ask more questions, so as not to get into trouble. The people in the caravan were probably warned by the richest man Bai that they would not come to their side , the same team, but they each take care of themselves, and they can be considered to be in peace with each other.

A few days ago, a group of people hurried on their way, and nothing worth mentioning happened on the way. They stopped in the town when they passed by the town, and slept in the carriage directly when they had nowhere to stay. Inadvertently, when I was sleeping in the countryside, I met another caravan with a large number of people who were repairing in the same open space.

At first, the family of three didn't take it seriously, and after getting off the carriage, they moved around in a small area where their own team was staying. They didn't want them not to care, but someone in another caravan accidentally saw the horses in front of them and behind them. Honglian, who helped Qi Susu and Ji Xiaoyang prepare food, exclaimed: "Miss Honglian—!?"

As soon as such a strange address was mentioned, Qingdai, Nan Xing, and Ji Xiaoyang, who was watching privately curiously, all turned their eyes to a thin young man who looked like a servant in the caravan who spoke.

Miss Guren...? ?

Is it the red lotus that they know?Or did you get the wrong person?

The members of the Bai family caravan haven't had much contact with them these days, but they also know that the maid beside Qi Susu who likes to wear red clothes is called Hong Lian. Guren froze her body.

"Miss, is it really you!?" The young man might not be sure about it at first, but after walking in to see Honglian's appearance, he was sure, and his tone became much more excited, "Miss, master Madame has been looking for you for a long time, why are you here?"

After the initial daze, the rest of the team gathered around one after another, "Is it really Missy?"

"Where have you been all these years, the master and wife are almost worried to death, and the second lady—"

Ji Wutian watched the five or six people in the caravan talking non-stop around Honglian, raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Susu whose expression remained unchanged, "What's the situation? Where did you find this girl?" Suddenly became the eldest lady of someone else's family?
Qi Susu looked at the excited and joyful expressions of the group of people, then turned to look at another group of people in the caravan who had not moved, and found that the expressions on the faces of this group of people were completely different. Not-so-perfectly hidden complaints.
