The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 146 Attempted kidnapping

Chapter 146 Attempted kidnapping
Compared to Yan Qing's seriousness and solemnity, Meng Shulan showed a few leisurely smiles as if everything had settled down.

Kang Yongan has traveled around the world, and he has connections in all countries, but Kang Yongan himself is not from a high-level background, and his business is not considered top-notch, and most of the people he can contact are middle- and lower-level.

If it's water transport or private goods, then it's right to look for Kang Yong'an.

But if Daliang was to help Wu'an, it would be difficult for Kang Yongan's people.

In terms of merchants, the Meng family, which has been in business for a hundred years, is the real take-all.

It is also because of this that the Meng family, the richest man in Wu'an, came to be.

His father was also able to rely on donations, not to mention a prince, and even abducted the emperor's sister.

The Meng family is as rich as an enemy country, but it can survive for a hundred years. Its foundation is so deep that even the emperors of all dynasties dare not easily shake it.

Just because the Meng Family Commercial Bank almost controlled all the business routes in Wu'an, once the Meng Family Commercial Bank fell, Wu'an's economy would stagnate immediately.

Therefore, as long as the Meng family does not engage in politics, the emperors of all dynasties basically turn a blind eye. As long as the Meng family pays enough taxes, the filial piety is in place, and mutual benefit and win-win are not a problem.

Only when his father lost two times and returned home, the status of Meng's firm is not as eye-catching as it was in the previous dynasty.

But his father still didn't set foot in the officialdom. After marrying the princess, he would be an idle son-in-law with peace of mind.

In fact, Meng Shulan didn't plan to step into the quagmire of officialdom at the beginning. Just like his father, earning some money and prodigal was his greatest pursuit.

Until he ran out to make money and was caught by the bandits, he met the little general who broke into the bandit village alone, but secretly led 3000 people up the mountain to wipe out the bandits.

He originally wanted to be like his father, running away when he was kidnapped, but he never thought that under all kinds of mistakes, he not only entered the quagmire of officialdom, but was deeply trapped in it, not to mention not being able to escape, but also not being able to escape. Abduct people.

Looking at Yan Qing with a serious face, Meng Shulan was full of helplessness.

If Ah Qing was as "greedy" as mother and concubine, even half of it would be fine, maybe he would have been abducted and run away long ago.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world, and Yan Qing is not the "greedy" Princess Jingxian.

"If I need Uncle Kang's help, I will not be polite to him."

Swallowing the sentence "I don't need it", Meng Shulan also took Yan Qing's words seriously.

He knew that if she really didn't make any effort, she would worry endlessly.

"I'm afraid there will be a tough battle on the southwest side, but I'm afraid I can't predict it on the northwest side."

Meng Shulan took out the stamped letter from her sleeve, "It happens that you are going back to the north, and you will also take over as the defense envoy of Jing, Mo, and Bei. The Northwest United Defense Battalion will be entrusted to you. You need to be on guard against Xi Rong's own actions." The Northwest took advantage of the opportunity to enter. Especially if the Xirong join forces with the Twelve Clans of Xueyuan and launch an attack at the same time as the Qiang Kingdom, the entire western region and even the northern region may not be at peace."

After receiving the seal, Yan Qing was also worried about this matter.

Although it is extremely difficult for Xirong to climb over the snow mountain and reach a consensus with the Twelve Departments of the Snowy Field after heavy snow has blocked the mountain, this possibility is not ruled out.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to defend against a house thief by day and night, and the thief hiding in the dark has no clue until now, so there is no guarantee that he will not be a hindrance.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

Yan Qing put away the seal, put away the imperial decree, Shangfang, and planned to go back to pack his bags, but was stopped by Meng Shulan.

Looking at the long box Meng Shulan handed over, Yan Qing asked him habitually: "What's in it?"

As he said that, he was about to open the box, but was held down by Meng Shulan.

Yan Qing was even more puzzled, but he heard him say: "In a few days, it will be your birthday, and you will definitely not be able to celebrate your birthday this year. I heard Mrs. Hou say that when you return to the Northland, I will arrange a wedding ceremony for you." I will never be able to make it in time, so I will hand over the things to you in advance, but you have to promise me that you will not be able to open them on the day of the ceremony."

Seeing Meng Shulan's determination to get her nod before letting go, Yan Qing raised his eyebrows lightly, and muttered, "Mystery...what's inside?"

Muttering, Yan Qing held up the long box and shook it twice by his ear.

The contents inside are probably packed very well, only a slight crunching sound of cloth rubbing against each other can be heard.

"Anyway, you'll know when you see him."

Meng Shulan only emphasized this sentence.

Yan Qing glanced at him and saw that he was smiling slyly, but his eyes were full of stubbornness.

It seemed that if she didn't agree, even if he snatched the things back, he wouldn't keep them in her hands.

That appearance, very much like a child offering treasures to adults, but still pretending to be mysterious.

Yan Qing pulled the corner of his lips slightly, and mocked him: "Childish."

But he did let go of the hand that opened the wooden box, wrapped the wooden box with the imperial decree, glanced at Meng Shulan who was still not at ease, Yan Qing said angrily: "You still plan to take back the things you sent out?"

Seeing that she didn't open it on the spot, Meng Shulan was relieved. Hearing her joke at this moment, she also smiled amusedly, but there was some incomprehensible look hidden in her eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Qing got on the boat to Fenhan City.

She will take the waterway to Fenhan City, and then rush back to the Northland from Fenhan City.

It was already the end of December, and she wanted to arrive in Rocky Town before the cold spring snow fell between January and February.

Otherwise, when the spring snow falls, no one can enter the Northland until the snow melts.

The first day of the first month of the fourth year of Qianyuan.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the shops in Tahrir were closed, and people hid in houses with burning charcoal fires to avoid the cold wind.

There are only a few restaurants with signboards.

The thick linoleum curtains block the cold wind outside the door, the charcoal fire is burning in the house, three or two homeless people are getting drunk in the corner of the house, and the guy guarding the hot wine stove is drowsy .

At noon, the heavy curtains were lifted, and the cold wind outside the house was blowing in with crushed snow, which instantly woke up the guy not far from the door from his drowsiness, and looked at the man who came in through the curtain at the door. people.

The man was about seven feet tall and was wearing a thick coir raincoat. As soon as he entered the house, a layer of snow fell from the coir raincoat.

The snow rolled down from the coir raincoat, and was quickly turned into a puddle of snow by the warm room.

The man stood at the door for a while, waiting for the snow on the coir raincoat to no longer roll down like ashes, and then walked in.

Seeing a person approaching, the clerk took a breath of the cold air brought in by that person, immediately cheered up, and raised a smiley face: "My lord, what would you like to order? This shop has the best burning knives, Lihuachun, Manjianghong, and sake green. The ants are complete. Drinking some warm wine in this winter is the best way to warm up and relieve fatigue. Look, what do you want?"

The man thought for a while and said, "A bowl of Yangchun noodles."
