Great Zhou Empire Chapter 39 Taoqiu City
Jiang Mo smiled slightly and could only respond: "I am the eldest son of the current King of Qi Jiang Yu...Jiang Mo."
The old man, the family chief and the elders of the Qin family were all surprised, but after learning that Qin Wen, Qin Wu, Qin Mu and others were the Qi royal family's personal guards and imperial guards, everything went smoothly. They had no choice but to stand up and salute, but obviously the old man
The Taigong was slightly hostile to Jiang Qi. After standing up, he said a few polite words and said: "I am old. I drank a few too many drinks. I feel unwell and need to rest. I am not well-received by a poor family. I hope that Your Highness will be considerate..."
Jin Di heard the old lady's mysterious voice and was a little angry for Jiang Mo. He stood up and asked, "What does this mean?"
Jiang Mo quickly stopped him and said in return, "Old lady, have a good rest..."
The old man turned around and left without paying attention. Only the family manager on the side was still trying to smooth things over, continuing to toast and praise without limit: "Your Highness's visit to the Qin family is really brilliant. I can't see Mount Tai... I guess..."
Only a big shot can deter those thieves..."
Qin Mu was a little frightened by the gesture of saluting just now and sobered up. He knew that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and he didn't know why the elders in the clan were so hostile to Jiang Qi. But as a junior, he still hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady.
The old lady "hummed" and shook the sleeve that Qin Mu was supporting, obviously no longer waiting to see this junior.
Then the old man stopped and added without looking back: "If your highness dislikes the humble abode, you can leave on your own tonight. Taoqiu is only twenty miles away. You can get there in half an hour on horseback..."
This was like an order to expel guests, and Jin Di became even more furious, shouting: You old man is so weird, Jiang Mo risked his life to save the whole village..."
Although Jiang Mo stopped drinking again, he could feel her protection and couldn't help but look at her twice.
Jin Di noticed Jiang Mo's gaze and realized something. He seemed to be even more annoyed and drank the wine, and never said a word again.
The family manager Qin Xiao also smoothed things over: "The old lady has no other intentions..." Qin Xiao, being Qin Mu's uncle, continued to explain.
After the Taigong left, he slowly explained with the help of wine: The family members participated in the imperial examination, but they felt it was unfair because they were repeatedly rejected. Moreover, they were obviously closer to the Kaifeng Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they had to take the provincial examination in Linzi; of course, as a person,
The Qin family, who was from the Lu state, felt it was embarrassing and unjust for Qin Mu's father Qin Wen and uncle Qin Wu to join the enemy, especially when Qin Wu retorted back then to the head of the family, the father of the Taigong, "Tao Qiu was originally a member of Cao Guo's family."
The capital of the country has experienced the successive rule of the Wei Kingdom, the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Chu Kingdom, and the Lu Kingdom. What can make the Qin family stronger is loyalty." Of course, what Qin Mu's father said is true. The head of the family at that time was like most of the nobles of the Lu Kingdom.
, more willing to submit to the Zhou Dynasty than to the local princes, so there is a gap.
Of course, for most people in the clan, survival in troubled times is the most important thing, so they still got along well with Qin Mu and had a great time drinking. They even envied Qin Mu's identity and hoped that His Highness and Qin Mu could introduce him.
And he also told the reason for the Grand Duke's biggest prejudice: the old Grand Duke had heard about the prince's bastard reputation for a long time, so he couldn't help blaming Yanzhou's governance problems on the little prince; it is enough to show that the Qin family has gradually integrated into the Qi State, so to some extent
As a noble, I am also worried about my country.
The people who were incompatible with this family banquet were Jiang Mo, who was a teetotaler, and Jin Di, who was a little reserved and dazed at the side. It seemed that many words touched Jin Di's heart. The Qin family today is probably the same as the Ji family back then.
Although he was very loyal to Qi, he was definitely not a rebel. Although he had a close relationship with the Tian family and was doing everything for the benefit of Qi, he was persecuted by Jiang Qi for some reason. At that time, Jin Di didn't understand at all.
She still doesn't understand it now. And now that the Ji family is gone, seeing that the excitement of the Qin family belongs to them, she has nothing...
Early the next morning, Jiang Mo and his entourage set off for Taoqiu City, a large city that directly penetrated the Zhou Dynasty. It was extremely important in terms of military and geographical location. Jiang Mo remembered that this place was roughly the location of Cao County, Dingtao, Heze City, Shandong Province in modern times.
When I think about this, my mind is like a computer search, and the geographical resources of this place are also displayed in my mind: it is close to Jishui (the old Yellow River road), rich in construction sand, soil resources, and even rich coal resources.
When Jiang Mo wanted to continue to understand the specific location of soil and coal resources, the back of his head felt a little painful. Jiang Mo unconsciously touched the area on the back of his head where there should have been a serious injury. He vaguely felt that the secret behind this pain might be able to answer many questions.
Question: For example, the reason why Jiang Mo became a playboy when he was 10 years old; or that he can have sharp insight and hearing, and can know a lot of information that he once didn't know out of thin air; or even be able to unravel the story of traveling here; but why everyone
Keep silent?
While Jiang Mo was in a daze, the carriage had stopped. Jindi opened the curtain of Jiang Mo's carriage and knocked on the wooden board, "We have arrived at Taoqiu City. What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Moyi raised his head and saw Jin Di's familiar face with a delicate and heroic spirit. He forgot more and more about the past and cherished his existence at this time. He thought that he could avoid questioning by pretending to be frivolous, so he said with a sly smile: "I want to
you..."
"Bah...glib tongue..." Jin Di slammed the curtain and dodged away angrily.
Just listen to the soldiers on the tower shouting: "Who is under the city? The west gate is not open! Leave quickly!"
Qin Mu, as a personal guard general, naturally communicated with the guards on the city below and shouted: "This is the car of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qi. Please open the city gate quickly."
