Chapter 946 945 [All the way north]

The wind helps a group of eagles to strike, and the clouds follow thousands of horses. There are countless willow trees in front of the pass, and dragons pile up overnight.

The vast land in the north of Daliang is called Yunzhou.

After leaving Kyoto, pass Xingliang Prefecture, and then head northeast, which is the boundary of Yunzhou.

Yunzhou has a vast territory and a severe cold climate, so its tax contribution is naturally not as good as that of the five southern states. However, it is also blessed with abundant products, such as various rare birds and animals, furs and medicinal materials, and extremely popular logs. Moreover, it is conveniently located on the edge of the angry sea.

, all kinds of goods in Yunzhou can be transported to various places in Daliang by sea.

Compared with the densely populated areas connected by Qianmo in the south, Yunzhou seems vast and sparsely populated. However, in this spring time, the official road that runs through the northern border is quite busy, with caravans and horse-drawn carriages flowing from south to north.

In such a situation, the team of two ordinary carriages and more than 20 servants guarding them looked ordinary. Until they left the official road and turned to Xing'an Mansion in the east, they never attracted the attention of others.

Although these two carriages were sturdy enough, they were not really comfortable. Especially after turning onto the state capital straight road, the road surface began to become bumpy, making this long journey less pleasant.

The girl in the carriage seemed to be a natural optimist. She was dressed as a maid. Although she did not dare to lift the curtain to look at the scenery outside, the smile on her face did not disappear. She asked slightly excitedly: "Miss, this time we

Can you settle down now?"

There was a very obvious depression in Chen Xizhi's eyebrows. She turned to look at the happy maid Nongyu, and wanted to scold her but couldn't. Nongyu was not a son of the Chen family, so Chen Xizhi rescued her and helped her repay her.

At first, Quan didn't pay much attention to the revenge of exterminating the family. He just thought he had a cat and a dog. Later, he let her go to Lin Shuyue's side to work as a spy.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, she did not expect that after she was in trouble, Nongyu would have the idea of ​​martyrdom for the Lord, and later she would never leave him and serve him wholeheartedly. During these days of living in seclusion in Kyoto, the relationship between the two continued to change.

, although they are still master and servant in name, they are no different from sisters.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xizhi said angrily: "Is being exiled to a barbaric land a happy thing? Only a silly girl like you can still laugh."

Nongyu came over and held her arm, smiling sweetly and saying: "At least the lady doesn't have to get into dangerous situations anymore, isn't it good to live a peaceful life?"

Two days had passed since the night battle in the small courtyard in the northern suburbs. After dealing with the uninvited guests that night, Deng Zai followed Pei Yue's instructions and immediately sent Chen Xizhi and Nongyu away. By the time the debate started in the palace at noon the next day, they had already entered

In Yunzhou, this was the reason why Pei Yue was so confident, and the reason why Wang Pingzhang did not fight to the end.

Wei Guogong is a smart man, and he certainly understands that even if Pei Yue is really related to the descendants of the Chen family, he will not wait foolishly for others to catch him.

"Safe and safe..."

Chen Xizhi repeated this word, and then a cold loneliness appeared on his face. He shook his head and said, "If you can't fulfill your wish, what's the point of living a stable life?"

After getting along with each other for the past two years, Nongyu understood the lady's thoughts very well. Hearing this, he could only sincerely advise: "Miss, the matter has come to this, it is better to let go of your obsession. Although Lord Pei is not polite to the lady, but

He is a man of his word, and he will not go back on his promise to Miss Ye."

Chen Xizhi raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "You say good things about him in front of me all day long. Do you think you have a crush on him? How about I tell the people outside and ask them to send you back to Kyoto. Since

If your mind is not here, I don't dare to keep you here."

"Miss!" Nong Yuxia's cheeks flew up and she shouted helplessly.

Chen Xizhi patted the back of her hand and said, "I won't tease you anymore. The obsession in my heart will not disappear, and Pei Yue also understands this, so he will not give me a chance to make trouble. Successful kings and defeated enemies have been like this since ancient times. I am the loser."

There is nothing to say in his hands. It’s just that I’m a little disappointed with his arrangement this time.”

"Disappointed?" A puzzled look appeared on Nong Yu's face. She thought for a moment and said, "Why should the young lady be disappointed? Lord Pei just asked his maid to go there twice, which attracted the thieves to take the bait. Not only did he catch them all, but he also

Maybe we can achieve even greater results."

Chen Xizhi said leisurely: "What I'm talking about is not this, but his arrangements afterwards. I told you before that this time he took the initiative to plot against others, which means that he has officially entered the road of imperial struggle, and sooner or later he will fight with those

The best thing for him is to let me stay in Kyoto, and with his current strength, it is not difficult to do this."

Nongyu asked worriedly: "Let the young lady stay in Kyoto? But isn't this very dangerous?"

Chen Xizhi said calmly: "Wealth is gained through danger. How can there be no risk in doing big things? But I believe he understands that I am worth the risk for him, because my mother is the head of the Chen family. When the critical moment comes, as long as Pei

The more I am asked to stand up and accuse Liu Zheng and Wang Pingzhang, the reputation the emperor has built over the past ten years will be ruined. How can such a person be convinced by the people of the world when he holds the throne unfairly and harms his brothers and sisters?"

Nongyu stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss, you haven't let go yet."

"I can't let go in this life." Chen Xizhi finally showed a touch of bitterness in his eyes, and then said slowly: "If he doesn't choose the best option, the middle option is to send me to the south. Although I haven't fully analyzed his true intention,

But since years ago

Judging from the capital flow of Xiangyun and Qinyuan, he is obviously giving up Kyoto and turning to the local state capital. If I guessed correctly, his Mr. Xi is in the south. If Xi Sidao and I join forces, any of his intentions

It can be easily accomplished.”

Nong Yu thought that if it weren't for Miss Ye's existence, Marquis Pei would have taken action long ago. How could he trust Miss Ye?

Chen Xizhi could tell what this girl was thinking just by looking at her. He couldn't help but raise his hand and gently pinch her smooth chin, and said angrily: "This girl's heart really flew away."

Nongyu didn't dare to make her angry, so he smiled flatteringly and said, "Miss, even for Miss Ye's sake, you can't take any more risks."

Chen Xizhi sighed softly and said: "Now that I have no power to tie a chicken, I only have a stupid girl like you around me, and even my money is taken care of by Ye Qi, so what ability do I have to take risks? I can only sigh, I thought

Pei Yue will continue to go towards my expectations, but ultimately things will not come true."

Nongyu didn't want her to wallow in this feeling of loss, so she changed the subject and said, "I wonder where Lord Pei will place us. It's freezing cold in the north. If we hide in the deep mountains and old forests, the young lady's body will be in danger."

It’s a little difficult.”

Chen Xizhi's eyes were complicated and he said: "Your Lord Pei is smarter than a monkey. I even suspect that he has his lairs everywhere in the world. As for the land of Yunzhou, you probably don't know that he stayed here for a while. , with his cunning and cunning, how could he not leave himself a way out?"

These words involve an old incident. In the fourth year of Kaiping, Pei Yue was ordered to assist Shitan Temple in preparing for the establishment of a mine and a business. The first stop was Yongzhou, south of Kyoto, and the second stop was Yunzhou, which has a cold climate.

Nongyu suddenly realized it, and said in surprise and admiration: "So that's it, then there's no need to worry."

Looking at the expectation in her eyes, Chen Xizhi felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Living a peaceful life away from Kyoto was not the life she wanted, but she had to accept it because she had no right to refuse. Thinking about it, this was the biggest concession Pei Yuekan made to Ye Qi.

Do we really want to end our lives here?

She opened a gap in the car curtain, feeling the chilly wind in northern Xinjiang, and looking at the vast land and desolate scenery. It seemed that the mountains were vaguely visible in the distance.

After wasting more than twenty years in the treacherous storm, this was the first time that she calmed down and appreciated the scenery between heaven and earth.

I can't help but feel a sense of leisurely fascination.
