Chapter 185 Qingwen 18
Just as Qingwen was about to step forward, she suddenly thought of the identity of Xiong Biaotou. Did Cui Hu, who hired him, know something?
"Little lady, you are okay! You are back too!"
Cui Hu still looked happy to see an acquaintance, and he struggled to get off the stretcher.
Qingwen couldn't bear to see that he had lost a lot of weight, so she hurriedly went up to check on his condition, and found that he was much better.
"Little lady, today is my birthday! Look how much better I am as soon as I come back. I won't die, hahahahaha."
Cui Hu was very excited and immediately said that he would invite Qingwen to his home as a guest.
The atmosphere here is much more tolerant than in the capital, and there are many young girls and wives traveling on the street, so Qingwen boldly followed him.
On the way, someone from the bodyguard team asked about Mr. Xiong, but Qingwen just said perfunctorily that he got separated on the road and didn't see what happened.
She borrowed Cui Hu's invitation to go to the homes of famous wealthy families in Xijing to gain experience. On the other side, Zhao Qing was walking this way with Xiong Biao's head tied up.
The identity of Xiong Biaotou, an Eastern Turk, was discovered. It can only be said that Zhao Qing and his group were not vegetarians. When they felt something was wrong with Xiong Biaotou, they sent someone to investigate.
The leader of the Xiong escort is Ezhen, he is the fourteenth, and there are four or five brothers before him who are also Ezhen, so this prince Ezhen is considered worthless.
But this general way of raising Gu is extremely talented, and it can indeed raise the strongest. Xiong Biaotou dared to lead a team of people to go deep into the Central Plains to borrow darts to explore the border defense route. He was also brave, bold, smart and cunning.
The men who were shooting arrows on the mountain and fighting with them were the men of a certain two brothers who were in front of him.
So at this moment, Xiong Biaotou is indeed unkillable.
But such a person cannot be let go easily.
"Is there no one in your Han family? You actually sent a yellow-haired girl to pull off a honey trap."
Xiong Biaotou was really angry. He didn't expect that he would fall into trouble with a little girl. When he woke up in the morning, he was very surprised to find the bearskin on his body. Since he didn't see Qingwen, he went out to look for her, but he happened to bump into Zhao Qing and his gang.
If Qingwen was really a stunning beauty, he wouldn't feel wronged. He only did it because of her strength...
"Where is she? I want to see her! Tell her to come see me!"
Zhao Qing ignored the nonsense he said. Zhao Qing was thinking about how to deal with Xiong Biaotou. If the Eastern and Western Turks merge and work together to bully the country, then the situation will indeed be critical.
This also needs to be reported to the emperor, but the fastest way has been blocked.
"My lord, my lord, that road is open!"
"What? Which way?"
"Just now, a letter from a flying pigeon came, saying that the road was open. Someone walked there at night and saw a ghost digging a road. Later, an earth fairy came and arranged for them to dig and bury each other. This, this... "
This person is the soldier who touched Xiaodie. Because he has met Xiaodie and the others, he firmly believes in this information.
"This is a good thing! It means that God bless our country! They originally harmed the country and blocked our way. It seems that after being tried by the underworld, they came back to perform meritorious service and forgive their sins."
"Yes, really? It seems that is indeed the case!"
The soldier patted his head and was no longer afraid. The more he thought about Zhao Qing's words, the more certain he became, so he jumped three feet high and went to deliver the message elsewhere.
Xiong Biaotou was nearby, and he was also confused when he heard this. Zhao Qing simply took him around and went back. Sure enough, he saw that the road was open, and nearby villagers were burning incense and kneeling in worship. The passing caravans would also burn incense before leaving.
With this shortcut, everyone rode forward much faster than before.
Here in Xijing, the news spread along with the caravan, and the people in the city settled down one after another. Even the food price issue that Wu Qi had been worried about before has been reduced.
At this time, General Zhang Shanshou was also found.
But Qingwen didn't find the person.
"Oh! This guy is always in high spirits during happy events! After I finish playing, he likes to wander around, hehe!"
Cui Hu was waving his fan. In the winter, he wanted demeanor rather than warmth. He was currently instructing his servants to send General Zhang off to the Jiedu Envoy Office.
This General Zhang seems to be somewhat related to the Qingwen family, but they have been separated by several generations. But because of this, he could have been promoted to Jiedushi, but he was defeated by Yun Guang and was vetoed by the Supreme Emperor.
Now that his backer, the emperor, has been firmly seated in the court, if he survives this disaster, the emperor will definitely promote him and reward him. Therefore, it is a great merit for the Cui family to send him back.
Because Qingwen assigned Xiaodie and the others to open the road, it indirectly strengthened the military and civilians' confidence in victory. As a result, good things happened one after another. Wu Qi also successfully collected the money donated by the rich to save the country. He had already distributed the money for military expenses that had been overdue for a long time, so the morale of the military was determined.
General Zhang disapproved of the way this was done, "This is a dangerous thing to do. If the wealthy households rebelled, it would be more terrifying than the mutiny of soldiers in the army."
General Zhang was mentally weak, but he still insisted on discussing military matters with Wu Qi. The soldiers of the Western Turks have been hoarding under the Zhenbei platform without any movement. This matter is strange and requires them to consider it carefully.
"Cousin, please send Mr. Cui away first!"
Wu Qi chased Cui Hu away several times, but this man was so thick-skinned that he would rather stand in front of the hall and enjoy the cool breeze than go out.
Qingwen knew that he had something to say, but she didn't know how to say it. She also practiced the Thousand Miles Telephone Technique with Cui Hu, so she knew what he was worried about.
The Cui family is the richest in Xijing. When Wu Qi asked everyone to take money, his family had nothing. At Wu Qi's banquet, his family just sent a butler to eat and then left.
Now that they see that everyone in Xijing is united, their family wants to improve their relationship, so they ask Cui Hu to handle all matters that come to the government office.
Not only that, General Zhang Shanshou had been hidden in his home, specifically in a cellar in a yard on a farm in the suburbs.
Their family also had contacts with Turkic families in the East and West. Cui Hu went to the capital on this trip to cover Xiong Biaotou.
Listening to their family conversations was a last resort. Their family is indeed a single generation of nine generations, so Cui Hu accidentally made friends with Xiong Biaotou and others when he went out to play.
It was fine before, but in recent years the entanglement has become deeper, and his family has unintentionally committed treason, and then got deeper and deeper into trouble. Wu Qi's grandfather was the one who pulled the string when it came to trading with foreign tribes.
But because their family had a lot of money, they were willing to spread it out, so they managed to escape the emperor's pursuit. Of course, the emperor's original focus was not on this. He was more concerned about how to get his elder brother and younger brother to ascend to the throne. His people just want money.
Grandpa Cui Hu once said that the reason why his family is immortal is because his family is born in the year of rabbit. Anyone can kill them, so naturally they have the patience to wait until they are fattened before killing them.
And their own housekeeping skills are cunning rabbits and three holes.
Therefore, he gave Cui Hu a task, asking him to marry Qingwen, the cousin of the imperial envoy Wu Qi, to achieve the achievement of riding on multiple ships and have an extra way out.
Haha, Qingwen wanted to laugh, wouldn't it be faster to fall into the water if there were multiple boats?
