"Girls don't have to be careful."
There seemed to be light flashing across his eyes.
After a long time, Xie Miaoxuan spoke, his voice was hoarse, his expression was somewhat solemn unconsciously, and the unserious look on his face disappeared quietly, "I do have something I need you to do here, and I can only entrust it to you."
Xie Yuanju said seriously, "Girl, please tell me."
The charming atmosphere just now has long since dissipated in the air.
She said, "I want you to break up the tribe and just keep Daniel by my side. I'm here at the manor every day and I won't go too far. I don't want too many people around me."
"Send all the others to buy grain, cloth, and medicinal materials. In addition, go to nearby villages to buy. Many farmers also have grain in their homes."
"As for the major grain merchants who come to Kyoto to buy grain from them, and to stock up as much iron as possible, and at the same time collect as many bows, arrows, swords and guns as they can, you need to go and discuss this matter."
It is normal for ordinary people to buy one or two knives, but if you buy a large number, it will easily attract the attention of Jing Zhaoyin. Once you are targeted by the court, without a strong backer, you may not be able to escape the charge of treason.
"The other most important thing is salt... buy everything you can buy. Use all the gold and silver here. In addition, I also want to collect the map. You can find a way to get a copy." People don't eat salt. , you will be weak and weak, your body will collapse and you will be unable to do anything, so there is no way out.
The Xiongnu were burning, killing and looting all the way south. Instead of leaving the rich grain and grass waiting for them to seize, letting them eat the corn of the Central Plains and killing the people of the Central Plains, it was better for her to plunder them first.
With her current financial resources, it would not be a problem to buy most of the state. Such a large amount of food and grass supplies must be found in a safe place that will not be disturbed by war for at least a year or two.
The map is an important guide for her to find a reliable rear area.
She knew that other than the royal family, even ordinary aristocratic families could not have such secrets as maps, and it would cost a lot to get a map.
Xie Miao turned her knuckles and tapped her chin, walking around and thinking for a moment.
She raised her head and smiled so hard that everything else turned pale. Xie Yuanju's fingertips went numb and he couldn't help but put two fingers together to feel away the itching.
"Taiwei He Dai is the marshal of the world's military forces. He must have a map in his house. If you really can't buy it, you might as well... borrow a copy from his house."
Going to the Taiwei Mansion to borrow money is a bad idea, it is too dangerous.
But she can't care about so much now. What she wants in her heart is to preserve herself in troubled times. After purchasing so many supplies, we still need to find a rear area where we can settle down, and a map is indispensable.
This matter can only be left to Xie Yuanju.
He frowned for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled, and he seemed to have something to say. Finally, he said in a gentle voice, "I will do my best."
Walking outside the main courtyard, in a dark place, a pure white homing pigeon fluttered into Xie Yuanju's hand. He took the letter and read it.
"The man who killed Wen Zheng was sent by King Shaoyou's aide Xiang Kui. His martial arts skills are extremely high and treacherous. He has been seriously injured and escaped. I hope you will return soon."
The pigeon spread its wings and was about to fly away, when suddenly a big hand stretched out and pinched its thin neck. With fingertips exerting force, the pigeon's neck broke to one side.
It vomited blood from its beak and wetted its white feathers.
His big hand slowly rubbed the crimson fingertips, and the corners of his warm lips evoked a cruel and bloodthirsty smile like a hungry wolf.
He took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped away the scarlet redness in his hands.
"Mr. Lang, you are here, everyone is waiting for you to come over and drink..."
Hearing Daniel's voice, Xie Yuanju turned around and said "Okay."
Step out of the shadows and walk towards Daniel.
Daniel's skin tightened all over when he saw Xie Yuanju's glance.
It was obviously just a glance with no intimidating force, and his posture was still as casual and casual as before, but it gave off a sense of oppression that squeezed people's hearts for no reason.
He patted his chest and took a breath. Fortunately, he had seen Lang Jun always show a cold look that he couldn't understand from time to time, and he was somewhat used to it.
Feeling sad in his heart, he attributed this to the fact that he was not good at martial arts and had not yet mastered Lang Jun's aura that could make people kill without being seen.
Looking again, Lang Jun had his usual gentle smile on his face.
Xie Miao closed the door of the room and noticed that a wooden box had been placed on the table.
When I opened it, I saw that it was a whole box of rouge and gouache.
Is this... bought by Xie Yuanju? He actually has such delicate thoughts.
Xie Miaoxuan flipped through it casually, smiling as he saw that there were more than a dozen colors of lipstick in it.
The way he tries to please people is too straight.
Xie Mansion.
When Xie Yuan returned to his residence and learned that he had not yet received Xie Miaoxuan, his face became frighteningly dark.
Mrs. Xie was waiting at the side, ordering a cup of tea, with a tolerant and kind expression unique to the royal family, "My lord, have a cup of tea to calm down."
The hot air hit his face. Xie Yuan swept his hand and the tea fell to the ground.
"What do you mean we haven't received anyone! Wen Zhuoyanming arrived in Beijing yesterday. It's been a day and a night, but we haven't received anyone yet!"
"You were the one who sent me out that year. It doesn't mean that even the personal maids around her have been gathered, and there is no news now."
Xie Yuan was furious, and his face turned blue and white. Today when he went to the Taifu's house, he had lost face in front of everyone. He had eaten a meal of pai tou, and he was already furious.
It was originally agreed with the Taifu that he would donate money to get two official positions. All the documents were ready, and he only needed to pay the money to become an official.
Who knew Xie Miaoxuan was missing?
Without a lot of money, he didn't dare to break the promise, so he had to go empty-handed and eat a huge meal. Not to mention, he was ridiculed overtly and covertly by those villains who took advantage of the situation. He kept being laughed at all day long. I didn't even drink the hot tea, so I stood with trembling legs in the Taifu's mansion, licking my face and asking the Taifu for three more days of grace.
Damn Xie Qi, even the bastard he gave birth to was here to cause trouble for him.
Originally, if she arrived on time, he would be able to get the rank of fifth-rank military officer today, and the eldest son Xie Bu would get the rank of sixth-rank minister, so he could serve His Majesty and appear in front of the emperor. As time went by, the two father and son were watching and helping each other in the court. .
Why can't Xie family be worried that under his leadership, his career will be prosperous soon? What else can the clan say that he is not as good as Xie Qi!
Now tell him, it's been a day and a night, and he still hasn't been found!
That is the total result of Xie Qi’s more than ten years of operation in Nanhai County. There are more than ten carts of gold and silver alone! If something really went wrong, he would be heartbroken and breathless.
Seeing the tea cup being thrown to the ground, Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, but she was not upset and called someone to clean it in a soft voice.
He stepped forward and patted Xie Yuan on the back and said, "The Buqu who went to respond came to report that the rut mark disappeared in Baili Mang Mountain in Kyoto, and there were still traces of a fight left at the scene."
She hesitated, "Maybe ask the bandits to intercept it?"
"Impossible!" When Xie Yuan spoke, his anger had already rushed straight to his heart and lungs, and the words he threw out were cold and hard. "The capital is guarded by the imperial army. The imperial army guards the capital and its surroundings. Where can bandits dare to run rampant? If there really are bandits, this Do you think they will turn a blind eye to the naked military exploits? Even if the Northern Army doesn't want to take care of it, there is still the Southern Army. Which of the sons of the aristocratic families in the Southern Army who hire cats and dogs all the time are vegetarians?"
