Chapter Eighteen

The unified argument for the current strife is that Liu Yongxi is going to Linqing to collect debts and grab a beauty. Therefore, there are already many short stories about this beauty inside and outside the Liu family. Some stories can even be described as vicious, and they are specially made by those who are interested in order to specifically attack Liu Yongxi.

Only a very small number of elderly people from Zhejiang, Nanjing and Kaifeng knew that Liu Yongxi's destination this time was not Linqing but Nanjing, but whether the destination was Linqing or Nanjing, the huge team of more than 200 people was relieved after the departure.

Now Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops have passed the thief army. It is said that the thief cavalry vanguard may reach the city at any time, and a war disaster may immediately come to the capital. Everyone can't help but think of the killing catastrophe in the second year of Chongzhen. It is naturally a very lucky thing to be able to leave the capital at this time.

And unlike ordinary caravans, Liu Yongxi led this team of more than 200 people, at least it can be called "elite". Although there are many slaves, servants and other idle people who can only cause trouble when encountering strong enemies, there are more than 100 soldiers who fight, and there are also many desperate people who are fighting with the horse team to fight.

Although there has been no peace near the capital in recent years, bandits have appeared impermanently, and many cases of official and silver robbers have even occurred, there is a seemingly "elite" war-capable soldier escorting it. As long as you don't run into Li Zicheng's millions of thieves, you can guarantee that everything will be foolproof.

What everyone is worried about is another question, that is, can such a huge team walk out of Beijing safely?

Before leaving, Liu Yongxi said that he had settled everything, but the civil and military officials who set up checkpoints along the way were not blind, let alone the Jinyiwei, the Dongchang and the Ministry of Justice who were patrolling the city.

Although Liu Yongxi stated that he was going to Linqingzhou to collect debts and rob a beauty to come back, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just an excuse to escape without a fight. As long as Liu Yongxi could walk out of Beijing, he would definitely not come back in a short time.

As long as these civil officials, generals, clerks, Jinyiwei, and eunuchs who guard the checkpoints have a little sense of responsibility, then Liu Yongxi's team will be blocked immediately, and may even cause a shocking disaster.

Although it is absolutely necessary to invite Hou Taikang and Queen Zhang, they may be able to obtain unexpected results to solve all problems.

But these are the last two aces, and it is impossible to play without any last resort. Moreover, it will cause unpredictable consequences after playing. Therefore, the reason why Liu Yongxi led the horse team to the end was that he was really ready to let the horse team rush, at least he had to fight head-on with someone.

But things went smoother than Liu Yongxi imagined.

Although Liu Yongxi has been rushing around to cause trouble under the banner of Taikang Hou and Queen Zhang these days, he has forced many big shots to bow his head and admit his mistakes and give gifts to apologize and settle all the procedures for leaving the city, but now it is too sensitive to make such a huge move out of the city.

But the checkpoints along the road were only symbolically checked and released. The young officers who were responsible for guarding the checkpoints even waited there to say hello to Liu Yongxi: "My uncle, can you take care of us when you go to Linqingzhou to grab a woman next time? Our brothers also want to make a fortune with you. As long as you give enough money, you can grab any woman you say. Don't forget us then!"

One level after another was easily broken through. Liu Yongxi originally thought he would encounter many unexpected troubles, but the Liu Mansion is now in the capital and there is no unfair thing to deal with. Even the marquis, Jinshi, and eunuchs who assist in the affairs of the Beijing camp bowed to the Liu Mansion, so no one dared to provoke Liu Yongxi now. The entire convoy was like entering a state of no one and heading straight into it.

The biggest trouble was that a small civil servant came out to check the luggage of their convoy. However, Shi Chaoli came forward to negotiate and said a few harsh words. The small civil servant couldn't stand it and let it go directly. However, Shi Chaoli continued to scold him without hesitation: "We remember you, and let the East Factory deal with you when we turn around!"

As soon as he heard the reputation of the East Factory, the little civil servant quickly caught up with Liu Yongxi to admit his mistake and apologize. Although there were many people who did not care about him, the little civil servant still did not dare to be careless at all: "Since my uncle is going to leave the city, the subordinate officials will be responsible for the negotiations on the matter below, so as to ensure that there is no gap between the people!"

With him in charge of negotiating with the checkpoints along the way, there was naturally no obstacle along the way. Now Zhang Guoji praised Liu Yongxi: "I originally thought I wanted to do my best to break through the siege, but I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. No wonder Mr. Bowen specially asked his dream to Xiaochengyi Bo!"

If yesterday was skeptical about Liu Bowen's statement that the dream was entrusted with the sun and the moon, Zhang Yan now believed in the dream, and felt that Liu Yongxi escorted the southern transition to a great chance of success: "It's still my father's keen eyes. Although this young master is less than 20 years old, he is indeed one of the few talents in this dynasty, but I still have a deep feeling."

Zhang Guoji attaches great importance to Queen Zhang’s thoughts: “Yan'er, what do you think?”

However, Zhang Yan sighed quietly and hugged the sleepy little palace maid next to her: "My Ming Dynasty is indeed exhausted in the capital!"

According to the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yongxi, a group of troops, was definitely unable to move forward or even unable to leave the Liu Mansion in the face of a great enemy.

But in fact, Liu Yongxi's team was like entering a no-man's land and heading straight in. Especially after seeing the horse team led by Liu Yongxi personally, the levels along the way did not even have the courage to check.

The civil and military officials who were responsible for guarding the checkpoints nodded and bowed immediately to move away from the blocking horses. Even the Jinyiwei who patrolled the city did not dare to offend Liu Yongxi at all, and they avoided it from afar before they met.

But this also shows that the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty have been completely in mind, and no one takes the orders of Emperor Chongzhen and the court seriously. Zhang Yan has only seen the destruction of the country along the way.

Zhang Guoji didn't expect that Zhang Yan would say such meaningful words, but what he saw along the way was not much different from Zhang Yan. He couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have let you read so many books!"

The little palace maid in Queen Zhang's arms is sleeping soundly now, so she could only lower her voice: "I think this little brother must have read more books than me! Besides, if we don't read, we may have been buried in the belly of a fish. I don't know what Kaifeng City is like now."

Zhang Guoji couldn't help but feel silent. Zhang Yan has been very unsatisfied over the years, but this does not mean that she can live a happy life without entering the palace, because now is a real chaotic world!

What is the situation in Kaifeng City now? It should be what the book says, "No rooster crows thousands of miles away, and white bones are exposed in the wild."
