Qu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since you are planning to go to Yunqiaodong, why not take Young Master Xi and Meng Heng with you and let Young Master Zhao train them for a while? That's right."

"Pa~~~!"

King Xia Wen clapped his hands and became excited. He had given birth to so many children, many of whom died in infancy, and the others were just mediocre people.

There are not many people who can excel, but he doesn't like sons who cause trouble, and of course Ji Zhao is another exception.

At this moment, a graceful figure came in and threw herself into King Xia Wen's arms.

"Father!!"

"It's Manyin." King Xia Wen chuckled.

Apart from my precious son Ji Zhao, my favorite daughter is this daughter. She is different from other daughters. She is quirky and has a very sweet mouth, which makes me very happy.

Man Yin matured relatively early, and at the age of ten, a foxy and coquettish look appeared in the corners of her upturned eyes.

"Father Jun, you said last time that you wanted to go into seclusion and take pills, but I sneaked in without you. Father Jun must have gone out to play, and Manyin wanted to go too."

"Nonsense, my father has serious business to do. You, a girl, can just have fun at home." King Xia Wen doted on Manyin, although he did not receive the influence of Confucian culture.

But at this time, the status of a woman is still mainly that of a vassal, and she must obey her father. If she is an ordinary Guizhou leader, the common people will be fine, and they will be relatively free.

But the higher the status of a family, the less power a woman has. Unless you can be the mistress, and all the men of your generation are dead, there is still a little chance. The premise is that your mother-in-law and this family have a lot of friends.

the power of.

Manyin's little mouth curled up, "If Jun's father doesn't take me there, I will go and publicize it so that Jun's father runs away from home."

The corners of King Xia Wen's mouth twitched fiercely, while the imperial censors Zhan Taizhe and Qu Xiuwen suppressed their laughter.

At this time, a lean man wearing armor rushed in and knelt directly on the ground.

"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever."

King Xia Wen touched Manyin's head, his eyes gradually became sinister, and he snorted coldly, "Meng Zhengye, you are so brave. Your son actually dares to incite Young Master Xi to kill an innocent person. This is disregarding the law."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen's child is still young and ignorant. If there is any punishment, please punish Wei Chen."

"Hmph, let me tell you, this man is of low status. If he were an ordinary person, your son would have been beheaded long ago. But I heard that he did not intend to pursue the case, so I asked Qu Xiuwen to pay a large amount of money and land.

....”

"Your Majesty, I will pay for this money."

King Xia Wen glared fiercely, "From today on, Young Master Xi and Meng Heng will be demoted to guard the border for killing innocent people."

Meng Zhengye's eyes widened. Wherever the border was, it was a bitter and cold place. Not only did he demote his own son, but he also demoted his own son. He was really the most ruthless of the king's family.

"You go back and teach your other son well. Don't get into trouble when the time comes. I won't even be able to protect you."

"Nuo~~!" Meng Zhengye's forehead was dripping with sweat, Xia State was not a country like Liao State and Monk State.

Regardless of the laws of the country, not to mention the orders of the doctor, the young master will be beheaded. The king of the previous generation personally executed several young masters who committed innocent murders, which was truly atrocious.

"Father, I, I, am trapped in the palace every day, and I also want to go out for a walk." After seeing Lang Zhongling go out.

Manyin pulled King Xia Wen and kept wagging her tail. She knew that she had to be soft when dealing with her Jun father.

King Xia Wen sighed and said helplessly, "Xiu Wen, let that treacherous son and the little beast from the Meng family get out of here."

"No~!"

Not long after, two young men hurriedly walked in. After one walked in, he knelt on the ground and shivered, while the other had an indifferent expression on his face.

"You two are so brave. How dare you quarrel with someone and then commit murder? Do you really think that the laws of the Xia Kingdom are made of clay?"

King Xia Wen's tone was calm, but there was extreme disappointment between the lines.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, I know I was wrong." Meng Heng was panicking at this moment. He was not the heir of the eldest prince. He was the one who was encouraged by Ji Xi. Otherwise, even if he argued with others, he would never kill anyone.

King Xia Wen ignored him, went up and kicked his son, and sneered, "Do you think I won't kill you?"

"My father-in-law also killed three young masters back then, who were my brothers from the same mother."

Ji Xi was stunned for a moment, and a look of fear gradually appeared on his face.

"Plop"

His legs went weak, and he immediately fell to his knees, his head hitting the ground, and his whole body was shaking.

He actually envied his younger brother, Ji Zhao, because no matter how much trouble Ji Zhao made or how much trouble he got into, King Xia Wen could tolerate it, but he couldn't.

"From today on, I will banish you to the border and examine yourselves."

The two of them looked at the king in disbelief, and immediately collapsed. This is a match, and they haven't expired yet. When can they come back?

Meng Heng was dumbfounded and quickly glanced at Ji Xi, who immediately understood.

"Jun, Jun father, then, how long will it take?"

King Xia Wen also told Manyin what he wanted to say.

"You three, please be kind to me. I will go to the border with you this time, but your identities must not be leaked. If they are leaked~~~!"

King Xia Wen's eyes flashed with cold light, "I won't have to come back in this life."

The three of them suddenly shuddered.

Ji Xi is not stupid. Jun's father said this because he must want to see how the two of them behave. He does not want or believe that Jun's father really wants to abandon him.

"Get out and pack your bags. All three of you, come up with an identity for me. If you let me know and you reveal your identity, I will skin you."

The two of them immediately ran outside like quails, preparing to pack their things.

Manyin also bowed and walked towards her palace. The girl was careful and prepared to pack some warm things.

Those two cowards were frozen to death. Among his brothers, none of them were normal. The eldest brother, Ji Jie, was personable, handsome and proficient in all kinds of arts, Taoism and martial arts.

At this time Wang Jian walked in, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I also want to go this time."

King Xia Wen waved his hand, "You should stay here. Our layout is not complete yet and we need you to complete it."

Wang Jian became anxious and advised, "Your Majesty, the county will definitely not let go of the turmoil that just occurred. This rumor must be related to them. I am afraid of your safety, Your Majesty."

Xue Kang'an stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "General Wang, please don't worry. With me and other imperial guards here, there will be absolutely no problem with the king's safety. Moreover, we are traveling in secret, so there won't be any problem."

Wang Jian's face was tangled. He understood his responsibility, not only as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but also as the king's main force in removing the powerful factions in the army and the secret agents in the county. He must not stay away from the court during this period, but he was worried.

King Xia Wen looked at him deeply and said, "My edict is under the bed. If anything happens to me, I will summon the clan and princes and ministers to support Young Master Zhao as the king. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy."

Wang Jian knelt on one knee with a solemn expression.

"promise!"

After Wang Jian left, Qu Xiuwen chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Yuntong is getting richer and richer, and merchants are gathering here. Can we bring more carriages and luggage?"

"Not only will you gain a lot from this trip, but you will also be able to increase the number of Imperial Guards."

"Qu Xiuwen, do you want me to do business as a merchant?" King Xia Wen said displeased.

Qu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know how much profit a caravan with a hundred carriages can make?"

"Ten thousand gold?"

"Haha, you see, ordinary goods can earn tens of thousands of gold, and some can even reach one hundred thousand gold. After all, goods can be transported back from Yuntong, and the food in Yuntong is cheap, which greatly reduces the cost of the caravan."

"Hiss~~~~"

King Xia Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief. With such a figure, even he could not avoid it.

"Then you go buy some of our Chaoxian's specialties. We will go straight to Yuntong and we can't let Zhao'er eat alone."

One hundred thousand gold, what's the concept? It's enough to at least feed and clothe 30,000 average households for a year, and there's still a lot of surplus left.

If used to equip the army, it can support an army of at least ten thousand people. These ten thousand people are not the kind of motley army, but the kind that are armed to the teeth.

As the capital of the country, Chaoxian has many special products. If Wufeng County in Yuntong produces silk, then in addition to silk, there are also a lot of linen, silk and satin. Of course Chaoxian is even more powerful.

There is also a large share of Shu brocade in Chaoxian, and the variety of sauces in Chaoxian is far from what Yuntong, a border place, can compare with.ωωw.

This time, Qu Xiuwen had the support of the king and prepared two hundred carts of goods. The king is not a stingy person. If there are two hundred carts of goods and he brings ten cars of private goods, there should be no problem.

Because it had to be hidden from the public eye, it took three days to load the goods.

On a gloomy day, more than two hundred trucks of goods set off toward the east of Chaoxian.

Inside King Xia Wen's carriage, there was not only chatting and laughing, but also a coal stove providing heat. Manyin nestled in the arms of her father, looking at the carriage curiously.

"Father, why is this carriage so strange? How can the coal stove be placed inside the carriage?"

King Xia Wen laughed and said, "Now change your words and call me daddy. This is the way Yang Gan, the governor of Yuntong County, came up with. It can warm you up when you go out in the cold winter."

Manyin's eyes lit up. In the past three days, Jun's father had told her a lot. Yang Gan's good words were such that he praised him like nothing in the sky or anything on earth.

Although he was traveling in secret and did not have the majesty of a king, he was treated as he should have been.

The further east they went, the more the temperature dropped. In just ten days and a half, the group arrived at Yuntong City.

As soon as they reached the door, a group of soldiers came over. King Xia Wen opened the carriage window and looked, only to see Qu Xiuwen saying something to the soldiers.

The leading captain looked at the long caravan, holding a notebook on his left hand and a charcoal pencil on his right hand.
