Chapter 692: It’s mine, take it back

The military captain came out in full swing, and the Ma Junshi was waiting at the border at any time. In addition, hundreds of thousands of border troops, Longxing Prefecture had tens of thousands of responses. Once the Western Xia changes, you can respond immediately.

Chen Ao, who ran out of the palace in the rain, was roughly a little sure. The memorials and newspapers of Xixia from these days were sent on time. With this, Chen Ao had a little understanding of Xixia. The most turbulent factor in Xixia was no longer Longxing Prefecture, but the Dangxiang tribe distributed near Xixia. Although these people may not be able to get too many benefits from the national hand, once someone instigated him, it is very likely that the chaos would be caused.

More importantly, they also mastered a lot of border town garrisons, especially the five tribes of Hengshan near the three sides. Although their leaders were not clan members, they had a great influence in the Western Xia Kingdom. The most powerful one was the Wei Mu family. This family was once the matriarch of Yuan Hao, the founding king of the Western Xia Kingdom, and since then they have become more closely connected with the royal family. Almost the queens of the Western Xia palace came from the self-defense Mu family.

Although the entire tribe had only more than 10,000 people, the Dangxiang tribe led by it nearby had as many as 100,000 people, and was close to the triangular border border between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia border army would be more or less influenced by the chief of this tribe.

It can be believed that once the news of Li Ganshun's death spread, the unwilling Xixia surname may unite at any time. Taking advantage of the fact that Princess Miaomiao's child has not yet been born, a rebellion may have begun to be brewing from now on.

However, Chen Ao had to go on this trip to Xixia. Even if he had to die for a lifetime, he would have to take a Shangfang sword to break through. In his heart, he had already regarded Xixia as his own acre of land. This guy had never suffered a loss in his life. How could he let others take advantage?

What's more, Miaomiao and the child in her belly are still there. As a man, Chen Ao has no reason to escape.

He got into the carriage in the rain, and the coachman shouted: "Prince, there was someone from the Cai family just now coming to send a message, asking the prince to go to Cai's Mansion."

Chen Ao sat in the carriage, twisted the water stains on his sleeves, and couldn't help but be stunned and said, "If you don't go, go home."

The coachman nodded and said again: "The person from there said that the Grand Master has not had much time, but I just hope to see the prince before he died."

Chen Ao was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Go to Cai Mansion."

The carriage arrived at Cai's Mansion in the rain. It had not been seen for a few months. The entire Cai's Mansion was much more depressed, and even the weeds in front of the door were not taken care of. The pair of hideous and angry stone lions seemed depressed and depressed under the rain. It is said that a few servants had run away not long ago. The head of the Cai's Mansion went to Jingzhao Mansion to ask the servants to capture the escaped slaves. If it were the case in the past, Jingzhao Mansion would have been in chaos and locked them everywhere. Unexpectedly, this time there was no movement at all. Although he responded, no one of the servants was released.

Therefore, when Chen Ao walked through the gatehouse and an archway, he found that the entire Cai Mansion was even more desolate. Except for a few old servants with their backs, there was no trace of people. Chen Ao thought to himself, if Cai Jing had thought that there would be today, would he be so unscrupulous when he started a high-rise building to host guests?

In a wing room with agarwood, the curtains were gently hooked by hooks. Cai Jing, who was dying, looked even older. The wrinkles on his face were deeper than that of a century-old turtle. His eyes were dull. At the last moment of his dying dying, he could not ignite his hope of survival.

The turbid smell of medicine and sandalwood made Chen Ao feel a little pungent, but when he saw Cai Jing, he was so silent that he didn't say anything. He just sat in front of the collapse, picked up a bowl of soup on the table and scooped it with a spoon, and then slowly put it into Cai Jing's mouth.

Cai Jing's lips were very dry, but they cooperated surprisingly. He sipped the soup gently in a small mouthful, as if the medicine was too bitter, which made him frown his eyebrows. He finally waved his hand with difficulty and said, "No need, I have no way to keep it back. What's the use of taking this again? It's better to walk more comfortably."

Chen Ao put down the medicine soup tactfully, smiled slightly and said, "Is the Grand Master better?"

Cai Jing smiled faintly, his eyes finally recovered a little. He coughed gently and said, "The King of Pingxi is so scheming, I am willing to give in." He first showed weakness, and suddenly said, "If I had never been like this twenty years ago, I would never have been like this. When I get old, I will be concerned about many things." As he said, he sighed and continued, "I have been worth it in my life, and I have no regrets. I only have pity for my descendants and will suffer this for me."

Chen Ao pursed his lips and said nothing.

Cai Jing said: "Why didn't the King of Pingxi speak?"

Chen Ao hesitated for a moment and said, "Some words shouldn't be said. Since the Grand Master said this, King *** said it simply. The Cai family will have today, and it is a fault. It has something to do with the Grand Master, but it has nothing to do with it."

Cai Jing sighed and did not refute anything. Suddenly, a blush appeared on his face, and he changed his sleeping position with difficulty, saying, "Don't underestimate Li Bangyan, King Pingxi, King Pingxi, must do something. If you don't abandon this person, you will have to waste your previous efforts sooner or later. This man-made disaster to the country is not inferior to me." He was silent for a moment and continued, "Does King Pingxi know about this place in Huaizhou?"

Chen Ao shook his head.

Cai Jing continued: "Concubine Zheng and Li Bangyan are both from Huaizhou, and the merchants here are famous."

Chen Ao only had an impression at this time. In Quanzhou, he seemed to have heard of the saying of the northern Huai Nanquan. Chen Ao heard this, but he mistakenly thought it was Huai Shang, but he didn't know that it was this. He couldn't help but ponder for a moment and said, "Please give me advice."

Cai Jing smiled faintly and said, "I believe that King Pingxi has also heard of the saying of Nanquan Beihuai. The merchants in Huaizhou are also well known to everyone. Does King Pingxi know what business they are doing?"

Chen Ao frowned and said, "Is it a land business?"

Cai Jing took a breath and said, "Khitan, Xixia, Tubo, and Jin people, these businesses are huge profits. One iron tool is only a few dozen cents in the Song Dynasty. When it comes to the Jurchens, they only cost two silvers. There is a horseshoe..." He said intermittently: "If you don't talk about these, the King of Pingxi must have already understood it."

Some words are indeed correct when they click. Chen Ao wants to resist the Jin Dynasty and will sooner or later conflict with the interests of Huaizhou. The leader of Huaizhou is naturally Li Bangyan. Chen Ao could not have imagined that there is still a dispute over interests in this dynasty.

Chen Ao is undoubtedly the representative of Quanzhou's interests now. Quanzhou represents maritime trade, while Huaizhou relies on the Silk Road and land trade. It seems that there will be no conflict now, but it will break out sooner or later.

Chen Ao's heart was shocked, not to mention that the Jin people lacked the most was iron tools. Huaizhou merchants did this, even if they colluded with the enemy, they would be lighter.

Cai Jing smiled and said, "I once was like King Pingxi, but I suffered setbacks and became more energetic, and my mind became weak. King Pingxi, there were too many people who died in the Cai family. If I beg you, would you be willing to fulfill your last wish for me?"

Chen Ao said: "I understand that there is another person named Cai Shu in the Cai family, and he has no guilt, and he will not die."

The word "not dead" is Chen Ao's promise. The Cai family has finished and has completely collapsed. Although there are still people who are just assassinating and not a death sentence, Cai Jing offended too many people and the people in the world will be punished. As long as Cai Jing dies, the Cai family will never have a way out.

Although the person named Cai Shu was not involved, if Chen Ao did not nod, he would definitely die without a burial place.

Cai Jing smiled, grabbed Chen Ao's hand tightly, and said, "The King of Pingxi is very kind and great, and I will be grateful."

This is an old man who is almost exhausted. At this time, there is no hatred or conspiracy. In fact, Chen Ao and he understand that if Chen Ao loses this game, the outcome will be the same. I am willing to accept the loss. This is the rule of the game.

Chen Ao suddenly stood up, as if he was relieved, and said, "Master, please be rehabilitated, I will say goodbye."

After saying that, he came out of the wing room, and then he heard a man screaming: "Old man...Old man..."

The mansion burst into tears, and the whimpering cry was Cai Jing's last elegy. Chen Ao felt that a big rock in his heart fell to the ground. The dead Cai Jing was the best Cai Jing, but his words before his death were enough to benefit him. Li Bangyan is not simple, and it seems that he cannot be underestimated.

There is also Concubine Zheng, and the merchants in Huaizhou. These forces together cannot be underestimated.

However, what Chen Ao has to do now is to get back what he deserves. So he didn't care about this at this time. Thinking of Li Ganshun who was critically ill, Chen Ao frowned even deeper.

At this time, the sky was clear. Chen Ao returned to the mansion in a carriage and happened to see Chen Ji and Tang Yan coming out together. I don’t know where he was going.

When Chen Ao saw Chen Ji laughed and said, "Chen Ao is here, let's go, your Taishan family treat you to drink."

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "Li Ganshun is critically ill, Cai Jing is dead."

Tang Yan and Chen Ji were both stunned for a moment, and Chen Ji suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "It's still pure if you die." Then he became solemn again: "Are you going to Xixia now?"

Chen Aohe nodded and said, "Let's leave tomorrow, time can't be delayed."

Tang Yan said: "Chen Ao, will there be danger? This Western Xia is not as good as the Song Dynasty..."

Chen Ji interrupted, "Go, go, Xixia belongs to the Shen family. The king dies in the country. How can Chen Ao, the king of politics, sit and watch the decay of the Western Xia? But this time, be careful. I will give you a word. Hardness is easy to break, and softness will not live long. Only by combining hardness and softness, with the power of thunder and etiquette, can we last forever."

Chen Ao politely said: "Students remember it."

Chen Ji laughed and said, "It's good to remember it. Let's go and drink. Just treat it as seeing you off. If you don't spend the salary you just received from Taishan, you'll be afraid that it will be gone again in a few days."
