The kidnapping case ended silently, Tianxiang Pavilion was reopened soon, and the He family was also asked to strictly prohibit external reports.
Chen Ping originally wanted to go to Wang Linsheng to settle the score, but unexpectedly, this kid could run faster than a rabbit. He heard that he had transferred to another school.
"Consider him lucky," Ye Chongwen said with hatred, "If I catch him next time, I will have to cripple him!"
"This kid broke the rules of Jiulong Hall. I'm afraid he won't dare to return to Qianzhou again." Chen Ping said.
Now that bad things have turned into good things, I don’t bother to worry about this clown anymore.
A few days later, Chen Tianrui arranged for a batch of perfume to be delivered to Kowloon Hall.
"Come on, let's get off to a good start and wish you good luck." He took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them out, "I wish you all a safe journey."
"Oh, little boss, this is too polite!"
It was the first time for the person who received the goods to receive the red envelope before the goods were delivered, and he suddenly smiled.
At the same time, at the gate of Liujiazhuang, several large carriages were parked in front.
Cao Lei personally received Zhao Jin in the main hall.
"Master Cao, Mr. Xie requested that the transportation of fairy dew be handed over to your hall in the future. Today I am here to deliver the first batch of goods. I also take this opportunity to pay a visit. We will have future interactions."
"Hahaha, it's easy to talk. Boss Xue is not only young and promising, but he is also so generous. It's not easy." Cao Lei was very enthusiastic.
"Senior Cao is a true hero when he leads an army." Zhao Jin praised him with a raised hand.
"Is it possible that Boss Xue still knows about Jianghu affairs?"
Cao Lei stared at Zhao Jin in front of him, and saw that he had a tiger's back and a wolf's back, his eyes were calm but sharp, and he had a familiar aura on his body.
The aura does not seem to be from the Hunshang Dao, but rather from the Hunshu Dao.
Zhao Jin's expression remained unchanged, "I feel ashamed to say it. I did work for a few years, but made no achievements. In the end, I could only do business with Mr. Xie and beg for food."
Cao Lei chuckled and said politely: "Boss Xue is too self-effacing. Immortal Dew is a hot commodity nowadays. You are much better than us errand runners."
The two exchanged a few words, the goods were checked outside the door, and the two parties signed a one-time transportation contract.
This is what Cao Lei and Chen Ping agreed upon at the time, one transportation contract at a time, and the long-term contract will be discussed later.
Zhao Jin said goodbye and left, and then the fourth hall master walked in.
"Master, does that wine also need to be transported to the capital?"
"Leave the wine to the third hall master, you are only responsible for Tianxiang Pavilion. This time bring more people, the first order of business, don't make any mistakes."
The fourth hall master smiled happily, "Don't worry, hall master, they are generous, we can't lose face!"
Cao Lei was still looking at the direction Zhao Jin left, thoughtfully.
Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, the motorcade left the city and headed north.
Outside the city gate, the young man from the Ling Mansion chewed grass roots and watched them leave.
Jiulongtang is quite powerful, and most of those doing business in Qianzhou have had contact with them.
Xue's Winery's wine sales are increasing, so it's only a matter of time before they find Kowloon Hall.
But why did Tianxiangge set off on the same day as Xue's Winery?
He felt a little worried, so he immediately returned to Ling Mansion and told Ling Shu about the incident.
Ling Shu was suspicious by nature, and immediately frowned upon hearing this, "They were all transported by Jiulongtang, and they set off on the same day. Do they have any contact?"
"There was no contact at all. They left in tandem."
"Xue Du is just a dog owned by Xie Zhiyuan, what does it have to do with He Qingxuan?"
For so long, Ling Shu didn't notice anything unusual about Xue Ren, and he was a little unsure for a while.
"Keep an eye on the person who sent us the message." He ordered.
"Yes, sir."
……
In November, it snows heavily in Qianzhou.
When the delivery man rushed back to Zhengxing Mansion, Chen Ping had already put on a thick fur cloak.
Tianxiangge and Ho's Cloth Shop settled the payment very quickly as agreed, and this move was unanimously approved by the entire Kowloon Hall.
When Ling Shu heard the news, he sneered: "He was obviously kidnapped, but he turned around and reached a cooperative relationship with Jiulong Hall. It seems that He Qingxuan is not an easy person."
The boy quickly said: "Sir, I think the one who is not simple is Chen Ping."
"How do you say this?" Ling Shu raised his eyebrows.
"Last time He Qingxuan was kidnapped, the He family originally had to pay a ransom. It was Chen Ping who went to Liujiazhuang and had a long talk with Cao Lei, and then he was released! What exactly they talked about, our people can't find out. Arrive."
Ling Shu did know that Chen Ping and He Qing came from the same school, but he didn't pay too much attention to it before because he never figured out what he wanted to buy Liu Bi's house. After watching the other party for so long, there was no change.
I heard that Chen Ping was just a peasant boy who spent all day studying in the academy and had no power or power in his hands.
But this time he was able to rescue people intact from Cao Lei's hands, which is quite a feat.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Chen Ping as well. But don't act rashly. He is the head of the government's case. If something happens, it will not end well."
"Yes, sir."
……
In mid-December, Chen Tianrui rushed to the capital to take charge of the Tianxiangge branch.
At the end of December, Kuai Ma Di's report was sent to all parties, breaking the calm like thunder. Langya raided the border, and a patrol of border troops was accidentally attacked, and their bodies were exposed in the wilderness.
Three days later, Beidi soldiers and siege equipment were moved to the bottom of the city, and the cavalry shouted provocatively.
Seven days later, the Langya cavalry entered Wanchang City, massacred and burned down the houses, just like locusts passing through the border.
Ten days later, Langya and Beidi gathered 100,000 troops, broke through the Chentong border city, and went straight to the expelling city!
Dayu has lost its first line of defense.
The sudden battle report made everyone change their expressions.
Cheng Cheng asked in confusion, "Didn't Yi Di always go south after the beginning of spring? Why did it suddenly change to autumn and winter this time?"
Not to mention Langya, Beidi lives in the snowy mountains.
As winter approaches, Beidi's grain and grass transportation will become unsustainable.
Why are the people of Beidi so crazy that they are harassing the border with a large army at this time?
Even Chen Ping couldn't figure it out and said: "I got a reply from an old friend on the border. Their original main defense force was Langya, but they didn't want to..."
"Langya invades the east and west, and Langya repeatedly invades the border, just to buy time for Beidi!"
After all, Zhao Wenhe is still well-informed. He holds the military book in his hand and his eyes are sharp.
"Something must have happened in Beidi that prevented them from waiting for spring, so they braved the severe cold to collect resources for their tribe."
Chen Ping checked the information about the north and knew that the plateau under the majestic peaks in the north is vast and there are flocks of cattle and sheep.
Most of these nomadic peoples live near the water and live by the water.
An idea passed through his mind, "It would be great if we could curb their water sources, control their topography, remove fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, educate them from a distance, and use the military close by."
Zhao Wenhe glanced at him after hearing this, paused, and said: "It's not that easy. Let's wait and see how the court responds."
……
January, sixteenth year of the Apocalypse.
Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh when he read the letter from Su Yiyi, his pen pal.
The war is not going well, and even women are worried.
The letter wrote: "In Wanchang, Chen Tong was captured, and the army suffered heavy losses. I heard that there was not a single person left in the city, bones were everywhere, and the evil Yi and Di thieves were still lingering. Some people in the court advocated defending the natives, while others advocated taking the initiative to attack...
…】
[The situation in the capital was tense. The day before yesterday, the Ministry of Household Affairs sent money to the border. Imperial merchants took the lead in donating grain, grass, and money. Only then did people feel a little calmer. Yesterday, Sister Ming and I also wanted to increase our efforts...]
Chen Ping stared at the letter, his heart getting heavier and heavier. There was nothing he could do. He just asked the court to choose a strong general to stop the madness. He attached a banknote with the reply and asked Su Yiyi to donate on his behalf.
He took the letter and walked to the concierge to mail it. Just as he turned around to return to Zhuyuan, he heard an urgent cry behind him.
"Chen Ping, something happened!"
