Chapter 164 Entering Beijing 1

I was shocked by what I said, and even the Eighth Prince looked at me in surprise.

I actually have only one thing to say, that is, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Seeing everyone confused, I explained: "The Grand Master tried every means to assassinate me, but it was just to prevent me from entering Beijing. Now in his eyes, I, Deng Long, is already a dead person, and Shangling's chamber of commerce will not pose any threat to his position in the court. So after my death, the whole Shangling will be calm and there will be no incident of assassinating the four families again. Even Deng Jian is now an official in the court, and he has tried to get a small county, which cannot be a big climate. And his surveillance efforts against Shangling will not be close after a year. "

I picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, moistened my throat and continued, "For people like Taishi who prefer power, the main enemy is still people in the court. In the people, even if you are not interested in the interests of the court, as long as you no longer have an official position, you will not threaten him. But if you go to Beijing to become an official position, if he absolutely cannot control you or win over you, the best way is to destroy you. No one wants to see his political enemy have an advantageous helper, and in his eyes, I am exactly this kind of person."

Speaking of this, I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "I really don't know if it's because I was too powerful or because the Grand Master looked down on me too much!"

Mr. Ouyang lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Then you were not sending us messages a year ago because you were still in this regard?"

"Yes!" I nodded and said, "After being rescued, I made an agreement with the people in the village, which was to use the position of the boss of the village to exchange for the foothold of the people in Shangling. But this is also a kind of transaction. I have no way to guarantee that these people will not betray me. Master Han can give what I can give, and it can even be more generous than me. And I didn't know my specific location at that time, and I couldn't send a message to Jian Rufeng. At the same time, the most important point is for everyone's safety. If Master Han knew that I was not dead, he would definitely try his best to deal with me. At that time, it might not be me, and everyone might become the target of assassination. There is a saying that if you want to hide from the enemy, you can only hide from your own people first. Only when everyone knows that I am dead, my threat to Master will disappear. You are safe.

The Eighth Prince and others nodded, feeling a little worried about the news that I had not informed them that I was not dead.                                                

But they were still a little puzzled about why I wanted to go to Beijing, so Old Master Ouyang asked, "Then why do you want to go to Beijing now?"

I quickly replied, "Again my grandfather's words, there is a saying that even though I know there is a tiger in the mountain, I tend to go to Tiger Mountain! Even though I know that the Grand Master Han in the capital is the person behind the assassination of me, one of the main reasons why he dares to go to Beijing is unexpected. You might as well think about it, what would you think when an enemy who has suddenly died in your eyes suddenly appears in the other party's camp?"

The Eighth Prince has been in the court. When I mentioned this, I immediately understood the truth, and then clapped my hands and said, "Yes, this is indeed a good idea!" Seeing the confusion on the faces of the other people, he explained, "The truth of Deng Xiaozi is actually very simple. Just as he said, surprisingly. When Deng Xiaozi suddenly appeared in the capital and relied on the prime minister to serve as an official in the court, his first reaction was to be surprised, and then he was worried.

Because a damn landlord did not die, he was worried that his original conspiracy would be exposed. He wanted to assassinate Deng Xiaozi again. He had to consider the consequences, that is, he would expose himself. And at the feet of the emperor, if Deng Xiaozi died again, many people would understand that this was what he did, so he would never attack Deng Xiaozi in the capital. Instead, he would be afraid that others would suspect him, and he would have to protect Deng Xiaozi in terms of safety."

As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill. Now the power of the Chamber of Commerce can definitely squeeze into the top three in the country in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Nothing is too much, it is too much money. For some devils, it is not an exaggeration to kill them with silver.

Old Master Ouyang also said, "What a pity, you will leave tomorrow. We will not be drunk tonight." Then he turned his head and shouted to the inner room, "Sanniang, bring the wine quickly, let's have a good drink tonight!"

Murong Sanniang and a few others came out from it and asked people to prepare food and drinks. On the table, everyone joked that the last time I didn’t drink it because of the assassination. I will leave tomorrow. It’s better to choose than to be a day. It’s my wedding tonight. This sentence was agreed by most of the people present, so when I was drunk, I had a three-best wedding with my three daughters: Shangling’s richest person. The guests who visited the wedding were the least, and the guests at the wedding were the highest.

As for how I passed it later, I was so drunk that I didn’t know what happened in the end.

The next morning, I took Jian Rufeng, Lao San, Jing'er, and some brothers from the village to sail towards the capital along the waterway.

I am standing at the bow of the boat now, and my head still hurts a little.   I was drunk last night and didn’t know what happened. When I got up, I found Feixue and Yingying sleeping beside me, but Jing'er didn’t know where to go.   Jinger didn’t come out until she left in the morning. It turned out that she rushed back overnight to say goodbye to her father, Lord Qian, and my father-in-law.

Of course, when you leave, you will inevitably cry again, and your children will be in love with each other.

"Does the head still hurt?" Jing'er came out of the cabin at this time, holding a coat in her hand, and saw me rubbing her head. She asked with concern. Then she put the coat in her hand on me. Then she said, "It's cold in the morning, be careful of catching a cold!"

I grabbed her hand.   I held her in my arms and said apologetically: "This time I went to Beijing, I feel wronged!"

"Don't say these." Jing'er pressed her fingers on my mouth, looked at me affectionately, then leaned her head on her shoulder, and said, "I'm happy to be with you no matter where I am. Anyway, I'll be with you in my life, so don't imagine running away silently like last time."

I apologized to kiss her forehead and said, "Never again, I promise!" Then I hugged her tighter.

Jing'er gently closed her eyes and leaned against my arms.

The river wind seemed to know it. The violent river wind just now suddenly became very gentle and gently brushed across our faces.

Just as we were immersed in each other's tenderness, we were inspired by the sound of weapons behind us, and there was also a roar of black bears.

I frowned slightly and asked back, "What's going on?"

Bajie, who had been not far from me, looked behind the boat and said, "Young master and young lady, it's the second brother and Feng brother who are competing for martial arts."

Jing'er's face turned slightly red, she immediately broke free from my arms, took my hand and walked towards the top of the cabin, and said as she walked, "Let's go and have a look, let's see what the two of them are more profitable."

When Jing'er and I arrived at the top of the boat, there were already many brothers from the original village standing there. After seeing me coming up, they said together: Hello, boss! Hello, young lady!" Then they made way for us to get two positions.

I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, everyone keep watching!" After saying that, I took Jing'er forward a few steps.
Chapter completed!
