Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 237 On the Road
According to the normal itinerary, Ye Xun and his party should have arrived in Datong by this time, because the actual distance between the capital and Datong is not very far.

But for some reason, Ye Xun and his party suddenly stopped in a place called Changle, more than a hundred miles away from Datong.

It wasn't that Ye Xun didn't want to leave, but that he couldn't. According to the news from the spies in Datong, someone had planted landmines on his way forward, but it was impossible to find out exactly where they were buried.

This is a bit embarrassing. Although there are many roads leading to Datong, firstly, it takes a long detour, and secondly, Ye Xun can't take a detour if he doesn't know the danger?In that case, it would be better to go straight home!
This place is not far from the Great Wall, and the wind outside the Great Wall is extremely strong. Although blocked by the Great Wall, it still blows into the land of the Central Plains mercilessly, adding a bit of chill to the winter in the Central Plains.

Ye Xun didn't live in the government's inn, but ordered his subordinates to book an inn, because although the inn was free, the treatment for ordinary soldiers was much worse. In such a cold day, Ye Xun didn't want his subordinates to suffer with him.

And the most important point is that the people living in the inn are all former officials, Ye Xun didn't want to have any communication with them, so he simply stayed away.

The cold wind is howling outside, but the interior is as warm as spring. Several huge braziers are placed in the four corners of the room. I don’t know how the room is designed. Although you can feel the heat, it is not stuffy at all, and you can’t smell the carbon fire. smell.

Ye Xun stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, obviously still worried about the landmines.

If it was just himself, then everything would not be a problem. Now that there are five hundred more men and three girls, he can't help being careless.

According to the information fed back by the spies, the people who planted the landmines were probably Fan Yongdou and other major merchants, because the news came back from Liang Jiajie, one of the seven major merchants.

But Ye Xun has a different opinion. First of all, the so-called eight imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty were named after the eight traitors by later generations. People at that time did not have this understanding, and even they themselves did not feel that they had done anything wrong.

Therefore, although Ye Xun stole Wang Dengku's family, he has not revealed his intention to deal with other families. It stands to reason that he would not take the initiative to take action against Ye Xun, unless someone is behind this matter.

There are many people who want Ye Xun's life, and it is not impossible for someone to manipulate this matter behind the scenes, but Ye Xun prefers the White Lotus Sect to do this.

Since Xu Hongru's short-lived appearance in the capital, the White Lotus Sect seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news of its establishment.

Ye Xun knew that Hongxiu might be able to find someone from the White Lotus Sect, but Ye Xun didn't want her to get involved in anything related to the White Lotus Sect.

Since a woman chooses to be with someone with physical problems like herself, Ye Xun will never let her suffer any more grievances. This is the least a man should do.

Plant mines!

Ye Xun had to admit that this was a good idea, unless he found the buried mine and let people go, otherwise he would not be able to find out where the mine was buried.

Having lived here for two days, Ye Xun had to take action, because he couldn't live here indefinitely.

It seems that only he is one step ahead.

As soon as this idea was settled, a guard's voice came from outside the door: "Report to Eunuch, a Tibetan monk named Shaer Hutuktu is asking to see you outside the door."

After hearing the guard's report, Ye Xun frowned slightly. He remembered very clearly that after the two monks were scared away by Hongxiu with poison that night, he told him about the three great demon monks in the Western Regions, and this Sharhu Tuketu is the head of the three demon monks.

What is this guy doing here, is he trying to find a place for his junior brother?
Some people have to face it sooner or later. Ye Xun ordered the guards to invite Shaer Hutuktu to the reception hall of the inn. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Hongxiu walking out from the inside.

Ye Xun looked at Hongxiu and smiled slightly: "No monk can frighten me without your help."

Hongxiu said sweetly: "He should come to you to ask for an antidote, I think you might as well use him."

Ye Xun was taken aback, and just about to ask how to use it, Hongxiu continued: "According to our information, this demon monk has already arrived at Lin Danhan's place, and I don't know what method he used to forcefully transfer the Yellow Sect that the Chahar tribe believes in." Changed to the Red Sect, so he is very prestigious in the Chahar Department, if you want to find out who is doing business with Mongolia or the Jurchens, he will definitely be able to find out for you.”

It turns out that there is such a thing.

The last time Ezhe went to the capital to ask Ye Xun for help, Ye Xun asked him to wait for the news. The news from the grassland had not yet arrived, but he waited for the news that Nurhachi had died first.

Now that Nurhachi died, the Jurchen army must have no intention of fighting again, so Ezhe left and returned to the grassland, but he never said anything about the Red Sect or the Yellow Sect to Ye Xun.

Ye Xun knew that the influence of religion among the Mongolian tribes was still a little bit weaker, but it was different in the snow area, where all people practiced religion. It is possible that they came with some kind of political purpose.

If that's the case, this demon monk really can't take it lightly.

Reaching out to take the small porcelain bottle that Hongxiu handed him, he said with a smile, "I suddenly realized that having you by my side is really a treasure."

Hongxiu's face flushed, and Ye Xun's charming eyes turned pale.

Shar Hutuktu really came here to understand the medicine. When he knew that his junior brother was poisoned, he didn't take it seriously because he was also very proficient in poisons, but when he saw the symptoms of his junior brother, he knew immediately Met an expert.

Because he had bragged to Huang Taiji before that killing Ye Xun was easy, but because of his father's death, Huang Taiji hurried back to Hetuala without waiting for the result.

Of course, Huang Taiji couldn't leave empty-handed, but he also gave Shar Hutuktu face. He didn't carry out the three-light policy on Chahanhot, but just took away all the wealth and children.

Shaer Hutuktu himself felt that he was saving the Chahar tribe, but he didn’t want the herdsmen to see children as their greatest hope, so instead of thanking him for it, he began to resist his Red Sect, and finally succeeded in removing him from the Chahar tribe. Hal rushed out.

So Shaer Hutuktu is already a bereaved dog. If it weren't for saving his junior, he would either go to Jianzhou now, or he would have to return to the Western Regions.

After seeing Ye Xun come out calmly and calmly, Shar Hutuktu finally knew how big his bragging was.

Among the masters, they don't necessarily have to fight together to tell the difference. Every gesture, or even a look in the eyes, can all reflect the true strength of this person.

Standing up with palms together, he bowed and said, "Lord Ye, it's been a long time."

Ye Xun looked Shaer Hutuktu up and down a few times, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he threw the antidote over and said with a smile, "Is that why you came here? If your junior brother still feels dissatisfied, you can come to me at any time. I will accompany you"

Shar Hutuktu looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and said in disbelief, "Benefactor Ye is really willing to give me the antidote? Is there any condition?"

Ye Xun still had that warm smile on his face, and said: "I have no grievances or enmity with the master, and I think the master is also provoked by others, so I want to be a friend of the master, so I don't know if the master is willing?".
