After leaving Ran Fang's mansion, Hu Hai's bodyguard ran towards him and told him in a low voice: "Sir, there was news just now from Feng Quji's mansion that from today onwards there will be no visitors."
"What?!" Hu Hai glanced at the guard in surprise. After confirming that the news was true, his mind turned around.
Feng Quji was obviously pretending to be ill just now, but he didn't notice it.
Now, in order to prevent himself from looking for him, Feng Quji directly resorted to a trick to remove the firepower from the bottom of the cauldron.
"This old man must have done it on purpose!"
"We're about to leave soon. When he comes here, it's obvious that he doesn't want to care about me!"
When the guard who had been following Hu Hai heard what Hu Hai said, he immediately approached him and asked in a low voice: "Master, what should I do about this?"
"Are we just going to Baiyue?"
"Otherwise?!" Hu Hai kicked the carriage angrily. He didn't get the pleasure he expected, but felt a burst of pain.
"Hiss—" He squatted down to protect his feet, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart.
He understood that this matter had become settled, and whether he wanted it or not, there was no room for turning around.
After squatting there for a quarter of an hour, he stood up, glanced bitterly in the direction of Ran Fang's mansion, and got into the carriage with a flick of his sleeves.
"snort!"
"I don't believe it anymore. Does this Baiyue have to be mine?"
"Go back to the house first, we will discuss this matter in the long term!"
"Here."
Unexpectedly, just when Hu Hai was about to return home in a carriage, he bumped into Fusu's carriage.
They were walking and sitting in the carriage, and no one got out of the car to talk, but this did not affect Hu Hai's curiosity about Fusu and his undisguised resentment.
"Follow him and see where he goes?"
Hearing this, the guard was outside the carriage, looking at the direction Fusu was leaving, and replied with some hesitation: "Master Fusu seems to have... gone to the palace."
"Enter the palace?" Hu Hai sat in the carriage, thinking about going to Baiyue.
Since Feng Quji can't help and Ran Fang is unwilling to intercede on his behalf, what if he goes directly to Ying Zheng?
Anyway, it was Fusu who asked Ying Zheng to go to Baiyue in the first place, and it was not his original intention. Before leaving, he was kneeling on the ground begging his father to take back his life. He did not believe that his father would be indifferent.
"My father has been my favorite since he was a child. If I go to my father, he will definitely agree!"
"Yes, go find Father."
"Since they don't help me, then my father will definitely not help me."
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. He immediately said outside the carriage: "Enter the palace, I want to see my father!"
…
Time flies and the day of travel comes. People outside the carriage are beaming with joy, and many people are telling the people around them about their farewells.
And Ying Zheng stood on the high city gate, looking at the people with a hint of warmth in his eyes.
He turned to look at Hu Hai, but saw that Hu Hai didn't seem to have any expression on his face, and he didn't dare to look more when his gaze touched him.
Finally, under his gaze, Hu Hai spoke reluctantly: "Father, I will leave now."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my filial piety in front of my father now that I'm gone. I hope my father will take care of himself."
This comforted Ying Zheng a lot. He said to Hu Hai who was standing in the crowd: "Okay, let's go!"
"All the soldiers have worked hard all the way, and when they come back, I will be rewarded for their merits!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After saying this, Hu Hai got into the carriage with a look of despair. Only in the carriage did he regain his previous expression.
Listening to the footsteps of the crowd, he couldn't help but think of the day when he was about to enter the palace to see Ying Zheng, but he overheard the conversation between Ying Zheng and Fusu in the garden.
Fusu said: "Father, it is a long way to go to Baiyue. I am worried that Hu Hai will not be safe on the road alone. It is better to find another minister to go with him."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng replied: "No, there is no danger in going to Baiyue this time. It is enough to let Hu Hai go alone."
I don’t know if Fusu did it on purpose. After Ying Zheng said these words, Fusu said: "I am worried that... Hu Hai will be the same as last time."
"If this matter is handled badly by then, then what my father wants to do will have to be discussed in the long term."
"Then how should Hu Hai deal with it?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's aura suddenly changed, and he said sternly: "I will never take mercy lightly!"
Feeling the anger from Ying Zheng, Hu Hai didn't have the courage even if he wanted to ask for mercy.
In the end, he could only leave the palace in despair and prepare to go to Baiyue with peace of mind.
So he didn't dare to see Ying Zheng, for fear that he would be betrayed by his weak legs.
Until the day of the trip, he didn't even dare to see Ying Zheng, for fear that his guilty conscience and his vague intention to retreat would be seen.
In this way, across the carriage, he left Xianyang under Ying Zheng's expectant eyes.
As for his approach, Ying Zheng didn't think much about it. After all, from the time he issued the order to the day of the trip, Hu Hai didn't come to see him, which meant that Hu Hai had really changed.
Therefore, he was quite relieved to see the carriage drifting away.
On his way back to the palace, he decided to take a look at the people who came to see him off this time.
"Why don't you see Feng Quji?"
Upon hearing the question, Wei Liang, who was standing by, immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the right prime minister has been ill for several days."
"Oh," Ying Zheng didn't take it to heart and just asked casually.
He looked at Ran Fang aside and asked casually: "Ran Fang, what do you think of this trip?"
Li Si, who was the closest, heard Ying Zheng directly asking Ran Fang for his opinion. He also turned his head and looked at Ran Fang, waiting for his answer.
Everyone knows Hu Hai's temperament, and no one is optimistic about this matter. He wants to see how Ran Fang will solve the problem?
This matter has not yielded any results, Ran Fang doesn't know what it will be like, and now Ying Zheng is just asking because he is worried about Hu Hai.
He didn't seem to feel Li Si's eyes, and said calmly to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Hu Hai has changed. There should be no problem in this matter."
"Besides, there are others taking care of you along the way, so Your Majesty can rest assured."
The meaning of this is obvious. As long as Hu Hai doesn't act like a monster on the road, there will definitely be no problem in going safely.
But if like last time, he rebels and retreats, then no one can expect it.
Ying Zheng just asked casually. He also knew the truth and just wanted to get some comfort from Ran Fang.
He nodded slightly and then asked: "How prepared are you for the bank matter?"
"Last time you said that if you want people to accept food banks, you must first experiment with banks."
"It's been a few days and I haven't heard any news from the bank. When are you going to start?"
