Chapter 76 Let’s go to the grassland together
Eunuch Zhang said with a surprised smile: "Why can't our family understand what horse and tea are? Mr. Yang, what is Shouning Hou Shizi talking about?"

Yang Shen sneered and said, "I don't know, but Shouning Hou Mansion now also sells tea. Why have I never heard of it before?"

Eunuch Zhang said with a sly smile: "Perhaps Shouning Hou Shizi has newly married Queen Xia's sister, and it is unknown whether he brought tens of thousands of kilograms of tea in the dowry?"

Yang Shen said seriously: "In this case, I have to shamelessly ask for a few kilograms of tea to try. I wonder if the prince will give me this face?"

Zhang Zong said with a sneer: "Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb. It doesn't matter. If you don't get the Holy Favor, you may not be the master. I'll go to Xuan Mansion to find Zhu Yue!"

Zhang Zong said and walked away.

Yang Shen looked at the door and snorted coldly: "You idiots are the worms of the country!"

Eunuch Zhang smiled lightly and said, "Why do you need to worry, Young Master Yang? The road is rugged and dangerous. You and I have no choice but to pray that Crown Prince Shouning has a safe journey."

He paused and then said: "Mr. Yang, please think carefully about what you just said. Our family is waiting for good news."

Yang Shen stood up and saw Eunuch Zhang off: "I'll discuss this matter later. Eunuch Zhang will leave slowly without seeing you off."

After Eunuch Zhang left, Yang Shen stood and thought for a moment before returning to the inner room.

Qin Liu looked at Yang Shen with a complicated expression and asked, "Who is Eunuch Zhang just now? Who is the Crown Prince Shouning Hou?"

The name Zhang Zong, the eldest son of Shouning Hou, always felt familiar to her. She had heard it somewhere.

"Eunuch Zhang, whose surname is Zhang Mingyong, was one of the emperor's chamberlains when he was still in the East Palace. He was Liu Jin's party member and one of the original members of the 'Eight Tigers'. He was skilled in bow and horse and quite brave. The emperor often praised him as 'Strong Man Zhang'.

Now he holds many positions, including overseeing the [-]th Regiment Battalion in the capital and the general manager of the Shenji Battalion.

Now it seems that he and Liu Jin have become incompatible.

Shouning Hou is the younger brother of the current Queen Mother, and Zhang Zongshuo, the eldest son of Shouning Hou, is Shouning Hou's eldest son. "

"Who is Liu Jin?"

"Liu Jin is now the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department and the head of the 'Eight Tigers'. He uses the great scholar Jiao Fang as his minions in the outer court to persecute the courtiers who once opposed him.

Your grandfather was almost framed by him and sent to jail a while ago, and your uncle Yang Yiqing was also framed and lost his official position. "

Yang Shen's eyes darkened: "Ah Jiang, follow me and leave this place as soon as possible. There are many people passing through this place to and from the Xuan Mansion. Recently, there are especially many high-ranking officials and powerful people. It is too unsafe for you here."

Qin Liu heard Zhu Yue say similar words last time, and heard Zhang Zong, the crown prince of Shouning Hou, say that he had arbitrarily intervened in the horse trade, and deliberately asked: "Why are there so many powerful people going to Xuan Mansion?"

"As early as the Hongzhi period, the mutual trade between the grassland and the imperial court had been suspended. Now the Xuanfu has suddenly reached a deal with the grassland on a large horse trading deal. The profits are not small, and everyone wants to come and get a piece of the pie."

Qin Liu was stunned.

You, Little Mute, and Old Man Lou are the key figures who unintentionally negotiated the big horse deal, okay?Why are they the ones sharing the pie?
It seems that this is really a world where powerful people are rampant and lawless.

Yang Shen's expression was serious and serious: "Ah Jiang, go and clean up. We will leave here early tomorrow morning!"

Qin Liu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Where are you going after leaving here?"

Yang Shenlue pondered and then said: "I have been in and out of the capital many times in the past few years. There are many inspection posts on the road, and the journey is not easy.

If we take the road from the grassland to the west, and then go down from the south of Shaanxi to Shu to reach my hometown of Xindu, we may be able to avoid the eyes and ears of others and arrive safely. "

Qin Liu felt a chill in his heart, and was a little surprised and touched.

My identity has become so taboo that I need to borrow a road from the grassland to be safe?

She looked at the little mute beside her. The little mute shook his head slightly, clearly expressing his objection.

Qin Liu knew that heading west from the grassland was the territory of the right-wing forces.

Qin Liu had seen the ferocity of those right-wing Tatars, and the route proposed by Yang Shen was probably not easy to follow.However, Yang Shen's friendship in taking him out of danger is quite touching.As expected of the friends we had fights with and snatched cakes from when we were kids!
Qin Liu didn't think that he had to leave.Zhu Yue said that if necessary, let her go to the grassland.It shouldn't be time to leave yet.

She adopted a roundabout approach: "Let me think about this matter. There are seniors and juniors in my family, so it's not easy to arrange."

Yang Shen's eyes dimmed slightly: "Okay, just don't delay it for too long. Things will change over time, and I'm afraid it will become more difficult to handle."

Qin Liu changed the subject: "Can you recommend a private school teacher for this town? The town is about to build a private school, but the teacher has no idea yet..."

Yang Shen was a little surprised, but still nodded: "I'm writing to ask my friends. Although this is a bitter cold place outside the customs, I haven't seen Liu Jin's gang members running rampant. I think some scholars who have offended Liu Jin are willing to come here to avoid trouble."

Qin Liu took the little mute and returned to Li's house, avoiding people along the way.

The amount of information she received today was a bit large, and she still had to digest it.

From the current point of view, Liu Jin, the "station emperor" who wanted to kill his grandfather, should be the culprit who caused the death of their Liu family.

The killing he experienced when he just traveled through time should also be related to Liu Jin.

She thought of the day when Mr. Zhang of Qianhu died last time, when Qian Ning, the Jin Yiwei, arrived, Zhu Yue quickly hid himself in the pile of corpses.

Qian Ning is Liu Jin's adopted son, so Zhu Yue is full of hostility and vigilance towards him, and allows himself to close Yanzi Tower.

Qin Liu knocked on his head helplessly.

Alas, my enemies have come to visit me, but I am still ignorant and ignorant. I am so stupid!
Speaking of which, Zhu Yue must be blamed for not explaining the matter clearly to himself.

The little mute asked Qin Liu with a serious expression: "Do you want to go with him?"

Qin Liu was stunned: "I haven't thought about this. Zhu Yue asked me to go to the grassland after a while..."

"Then let's go back to the grassland."

"What should I do with my father and Dalang Erlang?"

"Take them with you."

"This... can't be done."

Qin Liu firmly rejected the little mute's proposal.

It is too unreliable for a disabled old man and two too young children to sneak across the Ming Dynasty Great Wall to the grassland.

She has personally experienced the hardships along the way, and the elderly and children may not be able to survive it.

The little mute did not give up: "It will be a little more difficult inside the Great Wall. When we get to the grassland, we will rush to the royal court. There will always be a place for us. I will prepare now and leave tomorrow!"

Qin Liu hesitated: "How about we go to the pass? Maybe it will be easier?"

The little mute sat by the kang and looked at her like a fool: "Didn't you hear? Someone is looking for you. You may be taken away as soon as you enter the prison. Do you want to die like your family?"

Qin Liu saw the coldness emanating from the little mute's body and knew that now was not the time to act out of emotion.

She finally made up her mind: "Okay!"

The coldness in the little mute's whole body suddenly disappeared, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "You clean up the house, and I will prepare the horse food tent and wait for my return."

Qin Liu took out the banknote and handed it to him: "Okay, I'll wait for you, but be careful! This is the banknote, take it."

The little mute smiled brightly: "No need for these."

Qin Liu took the clothes and bedding from home, packed the clothes and bedding of the whole family, and packed three large bulging bags for use on the road.
