After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 145
In the words of traveling merchants, they dare not take the risk of crossing the range of activities of the Khitan people, but the goods in the convoy need to be transported out of the customs.If the time is delayed, the traveling merchants will lose more than just thousands of gold.

At first, Qiu Mo wanted to refuse.

But Shen Qingling's eyes were sharp, and she immediately noticed that there were a few people with furtive looks in Youshang's convoy, so she pulled Qiu Mo and whispered, persuading him to agree.

After all, they were going to leave Yongguan.

If the purpose of this tourist business is not pure, then it is not bad to just catch them all.

"Khitan people will not appear east of Chuyong Pass for no reason, either Chuyong Pass has fallen, or the merchant is lying." Qiu Mian and Shen Qingling walked aside and discussed.

All the way from Jinyun to Chuyongguan, the characteristics displayed by Shen Qingling shocked everyone in the army.If it wasn't for Shen Qingling, the army was originally scheduled to arrive at Licheng at night and half a month later.

It was Shen Qingling who led the army along the seemingly steep but hidden path in the mountains, and it was Shen Qingling who looked at the sky and the astrology and helped the army avoid the frequent thunderstorms in summer.

Even Yang Tu, who asked himself to go in and out of the Kanto area, had to admire Shen Qingling extremely.

Because of this, everyone began to get used to asking Shen Qingling for advice.

Even Qiu Mian himself didn't realize it, unconsciously, he began to learn to be like Yang Tu, discuss everything with this calm and calm little lady in advance.

"Deputy General Qiu is right, but there is another possibility." Shen Qingling squinted her eyes to look at the anxious merchant, and said in a low voice: "That is, the Khitan people want to capture Chuyong Pass, and they are currently besieging it It is possible that the purpose of the group of people coming out of the Yongguan Pass is to cut off the aid to the exit of the Yongguan Pass.”

Without Shanqun's bewitching, without the coercion of life-saving grace, Qiu Mo would not do the same evil things as before.

So whenever he heard about the Khitan people, his first reaction was to annihilate them.

"So, we should go with him?" Qiu Min said thoughtfully.He can lead troops, but most of the time he is not as thoughtful as Shen Qingling.

Shen Qingling nodded and said: "This place is not far from Chuyong Pass, we don't have many chances to observe traveling merchants, it's better for me to go, after all I am a woman."

With women, people are always less defensive.

Especially a woman like Shen Qingling who doesn't seem to be able to lift a knife.

In this way, Qiu Mo agreed to escort the traveling merchant, and politely declined the one thousand gold from the traveling merchant, saying that his ten-person team was to escort the official's wife out of Yongguan to join her father, and it happened to be on the way, so there was no need give money.

Youshang was overjoyed, and turned his head to thank Shen Qingling with a big gift.

After giving Shen Qingling the title of official lady, after that, Qiu Min arranged to spend the night in the woods, so as not to let the traveling merchants see the flaws.In terms of delicacy, Shen Qingling's demeanor is enough to frighten traveling merchants, and it is not polite to rouse Qiu Mian and other soldiers.

After tossing around for about an hour, the tent in the forest was finally set up, and everyone except Shen Qingling slept in the open air.The soldiers are divided into two rounds, on duty in the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

Taking advantage of being alone, Shen Qingling used charcoal to draw in the tent what she had just observed.

You Shang is about forty years old, with a square face, tall body, strong limbs, and a very stable foot when walking. He should be a person who knows martial arts.

There were four other coachmen in the caravan, six tall, lanky men dressed like bodyguards, and six ordinary men dressed like traveling merchants.These people always wander between the carriage and the carriage, and do not directly talk to outsiders, so they will not easily show their feet.

Even so, Shen Qingling could still see something strange in it.

For example, the size of the four carriages is much larger than that of ordinary caravan carriages. Apart from the accumulation of goods inside, I am afraid that even if there are some people hiding, it will be difficult to be discovered.

For example, after Qiu Min agreed to escort the young traveling merchant, he briefly returned to the carriage.Although he took a thousand pieces of gold when he came out again, it was too deliberate to personally go to the carriage to get the money, and the carriage he entered became the first object of Shen Qingling's suspicion.

Assuming that there is no accident when leaving Yongguan at this moment, why is there no movement along the way?Under what kind of circumstances, if there is an accident when leaving Yongguan, the court and the central government will stand still?

There is only one possibility.

That is, any news about going out of Yongguan could not be spread.

If Shen Qingling wasn't worried about something in her dream, she would not have rushed to Chuyongguan, and Chuyongguan would only continue to fight alone.Only in this way can it explain that Youshang turned back after seeing Qiu Mo and others, and used a rather clumsy excuse to lure them.

It's fine if you leave Yongguan.

The existence of traveling merchants is even more strange.

The sudden appearance of the Khitans in the Kanto area could not have been just for the purpose of looting. If the Khitans were so short-sighted, Li Yu's challenge in the northern border would have become the biggest joke in the world.

"Second Lady." Qiu Mo called softly outside the tent.

Shen Qingling got up and went over, raised her hand and brushed aside the curtain, looked left and right, asked Qiu Mo to enter the account, and asked: "Is there any gain?"

Right now, most of the people in the caravan have fallen asleep, which is the right time for Qiu Mian and the soldiers to investigate secretly.

Qiu Min shook his head and said, "They are very cautious, especially the carriage you mentioned... There are two guards standing around, obviously guarding against someone approaching at night."

"What about the others? Is there something different?" Shen Qingling asked again.

"Yes." Qiu Min took out a small piece of fabric from the armhole, and said with an uncertain expression, "I asked Xiao Zhang, and he said that he grew up by the sea and had seen this kind of pattern on pirates. pattern."

Pirates?

Hearing these two words, Shen Qingling raised her eyebrows slightly, and stretched out her hand to take the piece of material that seemed to be torn from the hem of her clothes.

On the north side of the rough sackcloth, there is a pattern of a human body and a fish tail embroidered. It looks like it has been a few years old. There are many places where the thread is broken. It needs to be carefully identified to determine what the pattern is.

Coincidentally, Shen Qingling had indeed seen it.

In the previous life when Shen Qingling was the birthday concubine, all the rumors about the pirates in the east were brought to Li Yu's face.The officials hoped that Li Yu would solve the problem of bandits in the sea after recovering the Sixteen States of Yanyun, so Shen Qingling took a look at it more or less.

It's a pity that some people don't want Li Yu's military achievements to be too great, and the matter of pirates was finally handed over to other people.Until Li Yu came to the throne and Shen Qingling died of illness, the bandits on the east sea were still Li Chao's serious concern.

"Why did pirates appear in the Kanto region? It's unreasonable..."

Do not--

Actually reasonable.

But this possibility, Shen Qingling can't announce it right now.

Why was Shan Qun declared into Bianjing by a decree?Because there are pirates on the east coast.

What if the pirates themselves were fake?
What if all this is just a game deliberately set up by Li Youyu?
Shen Qingling suddenly realized that she was the one who broke the situation, and she couldn't let You Shang know Qiu Mi's identity.
