Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 51 The Merchant's Argument

Lin Kui sent Xiao Beiheng into the carriage, put his foot on the pedal, and looked back at the two riding away.

Shizi's thoughts became more and more complicated.

He got into the car, sat opposite Xiao Beiheng, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Your Highness, why didn't you order the guards to kill Xiao Zhuo? This is the order of the prince, and he also sent..."

Xiao Beiheng plucked off the leaves on his shoulders with two fingers, and said with a smile, "You are kind enough to give them horses as gifts?"

Lin Kui nodded.

Xiao Beiheng smiled softly: "Since Your Majesty has asked Liu Yi to seal off all the checkpoints leading to the outside world in Liangzhou, guess whether Xiao Zhuo can escape."

Lin Kui lowered his head in thought, he already knew about this matter.Could it be that the crown prince didn't want to kill the deposed prince himself?

Xiao Beiheng saw that Lin Kui still looked puzzled, shook his head, and said:

"If the deposed prince is really killed by this son, how do you think His Majesty will treat this son, or how he will deal with our Qi Palace?"

Lin Kui was taken aback, and suddenly a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

I think His Majesty is too stupid.If His Royal Highness gets rid of Xiao Zhuo, His Majesty will give Qi Wangfu the name of murdering the abolished prince, then kill two birds with one stone.

"It's good that you understand." Xiao Beiheng smiled and picked up the teacup on the side, and took a sip, "If Your Majesty has such an idea, we should cooperate, right?"

To want Xiao Beiheng to take the blame is to underestimate him.

Wouldn't it be more interesting to let their father and son kill each other?

Lin Kui stroked his beard and nodded.

"By the way," Xiao Beiheng put down the teacup, "Someone send a message to Taishou Liu, telling him that Xiao Zhuo is leaving Liangzhou at this time."

Now Liu Yi, the prefect of Liangzhou, has deployed good manpower at various checkpoints on the border of Liangzhou, unless Xiao Zhuo can fly out with wings.

Lin Kui got up and bowed respectfully: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, this subordinate will do it now."

Xiao Beiheng smiled and nodded: "In this way, things will become..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly coughed violently.

The maid next to her panicked, and hurriedly took the tea and the handkerchief, but Xiao Beiheng pushed them away, snatched the handkerchief and covered her mouth, coughing violently again.

"His Royal Highness may be choking on water," Lin Kui said to the maid, "It's okay."

Xiao Beiheng raised his head with a red face, threw the handkerchief in his hand on the floor, panted hurriedly:

"Xiao Zhuo, what a powerful method."

Lin Kui was taken aback, and quickly bent down to pick up the crumpled handkerchief, and unfolded it to observe.

There were spots of blood on the veil.

……

Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo galloped for two days and arrived outside Liangzhou city.

"Out of here is the boundary of Shengzhou," Xiao Zhuo raised his whip and pointed to the pass in the distance.

"Husband, let's take a rest." Shen Yuexi jumped off the horse, untied the water bag at her waist, took a sip of water, and handed it to Xiao Zhuo, "Here, take a sip too."

Her riding a horse was originally a worry, but after two days, she looked good.

They didn't dare to stop along the way, they only bought some food that was convenient to carry and not suitable for damage at the small roadside shop, and hurried on the road without stopping.

Xiao Zhuo took the water bag, looked at the mouth of the bag, and did not move.

Shen Yuexi thought that he disliked her, so she patted the horse's neck and said with a smile, "You can use it as soon as possible. When I get out of Liangzhou, I'll buy you another big water bag."

Originally, both of them had water bags, but Xiao Zhuo's one accidentally dropped and leaked halfway, and now there is only her water bag.

Xiao Zhuo seemed to want to say something, but when Shen Yuexi said it, he shut up and stopped talking, and just cast his eyes on her cherry red lips for a moment, his eyes were dark.He drank silently.

The two rested for a while and continued on the road.Perhaps because she was about to reach the city gate, Shen Yuexi was in a particularly comfortable mood.

"When we get out of the border of Liangzhou, do you want to buy a carriage?" She touched the bank note in her pocket, which was close to 600 taels, which was a huge sum of money. No matter how poor the conditions in the frontier were, she was not afraid.

Xiao Zhuo looked at the city gate not far ahead, and suddenly said: "Let's not get close for now."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback, she didn't understand Xiao Zhuo's meaning, she had already arrived at the city gate, why should she change?

But after thinking about it, she immediately understood.

There are Xiao Zhuo's wanted notices even in Liao County, let alone here.

She stood up on the saddle and looked at the city gate.It seems that there are many more officers and soldiers, and the people leaving the city are being checked by the officers and soldiers one by one for customs clearance documents.

It was something that symbolized status in ancient times, neither she nor Xiao Zhuo had it.

She looked at Xiao Zhuo in surprise: "The emperor must have moved too fast."

It's only been a few days, and the city gate has been blocked.

After realizing it, she patted her chest thankfully. Fortunately, the two of them didn't rush over just now.

"What shall we do next?" Shen Yuexi asked Xiao Zhuo, "Can we go around?"

Xiao Zhuo shook his head, and his words were comforting: "If you take a detour, it will take a lot of time. Let's find a place to rest for now and leave the city tonight."

tonight?

Aren't the city gates closed at night?
Could it be that Xiao Zhuo didn't leave the city gate?

"That's right, I will leave the city at night." Xiao Zhuo told her clearly.

As for how to get out of the city, Xiao Zhuo didn't say much, Shen Yuexi saw that he seemed to have a plan, so he didn't bother to ask, anyway, just follow Xiao Zhuo.

She and Xiao Zhuo found a resting place far away from the city gate. This place was already some distance away from the city gate, and it was a fairly lively path with a lot of caravans coming and going.They are all people who come and do business.

The two came to a roadside stall selling tea and sat down. After ordering some tea and some food, they heard a few people talking behind them:

"Do you know that it is more difficult to pass the customs now than a few days ago, and there were no such officers and soldiers in the past. What happened to the court? Or is there going to be a war at the border?"

"How could it be possible to fight? Even if you lose the place where the birds don't shit at the border, the court won't care."

"I believe this, but why is it so strict to pass the pass recently?"

"It is said that they want to catch a wanted criminal."

After listening to their conversation, Shen Yuexi was a little nervous and looked at Xiao Zhuo.Xiao Zhuo shook his head at her, signaling that there is no need to worry.

Although Xiao Zhuo already had a countermeasure, she still didn't dare to pin all her hopes on Xiao Zhuo.

At this time, another person said: "If it's going to be cold today, your linen can be sold for a fortune."

Several people switched from the topic just now to business.After all, they are a group of traders who travel far and wide, and they are most concerned about their own pockets.

They discussed business there, and Shen Yuexi heard a lot of useful information.

After leaving Liangzhou, you will enter Shengzhou, and go north along the border of Shengzhou, and you can directly exit the border.It has a different style from Dayan, and it is also a place where businessmen frequently come and go.

But it is said that the danger is also extremely high, and merchants are often robbed by Xi Rong on the opposite side.

She looked at Xiao Zhuo again, and wanted to ask him, since the frontier is so dangerous, why not change to another place.

Xiao Zhuo seemed to be aware of it, and replied: "It's okay, Xirong will only come to loot in winter, and the number of people is not too many."

Shen Yuexi put down the teacup, staring at Xiao Zhuo with a pair of clear eyes.

"We can't have to deal with those marauders again in winter, can we?"

In that case, it is better to change the road as soon as possible.

Xiao Zhuo took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
