Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 407 Those big people driven by profit

Ye Chen smiled noncommittally, and said: "After Yu'er suddenly appeared that day and gave me a warning, she went after the person hiding in the cliff cave of Yixian Peak, and has not returned yet. Thinking about it, that person's strength is not inferior to Yu'er's. I'm afraid he is another first-class master. It's just that we have investigated very clearly who the Maitreya Sect is. Apart from Lou Yanming, only Shangguan Bingyun can barely do this. But the figure seen that day is definitely not Shangguan Bing Yun. And, judging from Yuer's expression at the time, he probably knew that person, so the collapse of Yiyi Peak on the cliff was probably not caused by the Maitreya Sect, but probably caused by the Holy Church, or in order to kill me, Lou Yanming and Yu Feng cooperated again."

Hu Sanguang just heard that Mrs. Yu, who had been missing for half a year, suddenly appeared and gave a warning to the commander-in-chief. With an order, the master decisively let everyone slide down to the belly of the horse, and then rolled to the ground, and let the horse continue to ride. Enter the Yixianfeng Mountain Road.As for Ye Chen in the carriage, he naturally got out of the carriage with Yu Qingyan in his arms, slid under the carriage, and rolled to the ground.

Fortunately, the person above Gaoya didn't have Ye Chen's perverted eyesight at that time. In addition, after everyone rolled off the horse or carriage, they all stuck to the side of the cave where the person was located, forming a blind spot of vision, which made the person not found.When the cliff began to collapse and fall, blocking the man's vision, Ye Chen quickly led the man to hide in the nearby forest.

This was the whole process of Ye Chen and his party of hundreds of people escaping to death.But for the first time, Hu Sanguang knew that the incident was not done by the Maitreya family, but that the church was involved.

Ye Chen said at this time: "There are still two things that need to be investigated quickly. First, our people were watching on the first-line peak that day. It is absolutely impossible for him to hide in the cliff cave and not be discovered by our spies. Therefore, I suspect that when I go to the south of the Yangtze River this time, there will be people from the Holy Church among the people accompanying me. It is up to you to investigate this matter. Second Whether the gunpowder used to blow up the cliff was developed by the holy hall itself, or the formula of the gunpowder was leaked from our Huaxia Weifu Weapons Department, we must find out as soon as possible. Let Xu Fangyi and Li Junhao investigate this matter. Tell them This matter must be investigated secretly, and the news that I am still alive cannot be exposed because of the investigation."

Hu Sanguang respectfully said yes, glanced at Ye Chen carefully, hesitated and said: "My lord! This time you hide your identity to find out the secrets of Shengtang in Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Commercial Firm. The subordinates still think that with the adult's daughter body, too risky."

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "You also know the situation of the Holy Church. It is different from the forces of Maitreya Sect and Taiping Sect, which are placed in the open, and it is clearly different from the powers of countries such as Southern Tang, Southern Han, and Wuyue. Merchants, aristocratic families, and even the dignitaries of various countries including my Song Dynasty are too deeply involved, and their own secrecy work has reached the extreme, and hiding their identities has become a habit, and it is extremely troublesome for us to investigate."

"Last summer, when His Majesty personally led the Great Song army to attack Jinyang, the capital of the former Northern Han Dynasty, five thousand elite Khitan soldiers sneaked into our Great Song territory and cut off our army's food and grass. If this incident was not caused by some important person in our Great Song Dynasty, or someone Several big figures took care of them at the same time, even if the 5000 Khitans dressed up no matter how they were dressed, they would never be able to sneak into the Song Dynasty for nearly [-] miles without being discovered by the local government and the army of the Song Dynasty. Don't forget, the [-] Khitans In order not to expose their identities along the way, the elite soldiers never once snatched food and grass from the people of Song Dynasty. And they have been on the move for half a month, and the food they brought with them is only five days at most. Who will spend the remaining ten days? To provide them with food and grass? Afterwards, His Majesty, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Cao all speculated that the people from the Holy Church were secretly taking care of the Khitan army."

"Also, a few months ago, when the riots in Sichuan and Sichuan were finally put down, two thousand elite bandits, including the bandit leader Xu Qingfei, disappeared out of thin air. After we noticed, these people had been secretly transferred from Sichuan and Sichuan, hiding in the Qinling Mountains In the deep mountains, being raised by the holy church, waiting for the opportunity to mess with my Da Song anytime."

"Just imagine, whether it's secretly taking care of the [-] elite soldiers of Khitan, or secretly transferring the [-] rogues who are being pursued by our army and the government. If it wasn't for a certain or even a lot of big shots in my Great Song Dynasty, how could it be possible?" This has been done. From this we can see that some of the big figures in our Great Song court that we don’t know, maybe a certain feudal official, a general who holds a large army, the head of a family, a certain official of the court, these It is very likely that there are people from the Holy Church lurking among the people. If we do not use special methods to break into the interior of the Holy Church, or find the real person in charge of the Holy Church, it is absolutely impossible to find them out. In fact, Most of these people did not know that each other was a member of the Holy Church. Therefore, even though we wiped out some of the Holy Church forces in Kaifeng through Yufeng’s apprentice Zhao Si at the beginning of the year, in fact, except for Zhao Si, there were still Didn't catch any big fish."

"In the past few months, I have thought about it carefully. Whether it is the great figures like me in the Song Dynasty, or the Southern Tang Dynasty, or even some big figures in Khitan, the reason why they will serve the Holy Church, or the reason why the Holy Church can drive them is not only the interests There is no other reason. To be precise, their interests are one with the Holy Church. That is to say, the existence of the Holy Church can bring them money, a lot of money. And the only one who can do this is There are Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Bank. Therefore, since the Sichuan and Shu riots were put down, I asked your intelligence department to secretly investigate Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Bank. However, now it seems that your progress is too slow, and you can even say It is equivalent to no progress. When the secrets you spilled grow up and are promoted to the point where they can get in touch with the core secrets of Jiangnan Trading Company, it may take a few years at least, or even ten years at most."

"My Majesty and I can't afford to wait for such a long time. Perhaps the Holy Church will not let us wait with His Majesty. As long as we destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, the long-planned conspiracy of the Holy Church will follow. It will be carried out to steal the fruits of your majesty and the imperial court leading the army to unify the world through untold hardships."

No matter how terrified Hu Sanguang was when he heard Ye Chen's words today, Ye Chen finally continued: "So, this matter can only be taken care of by me. According to my plan, I wanted to start a new life in the south of the Yangtze River." Mingchu muddied the water in the entire Jiangnan business world, and then waited for an opportunity to find out the flaws in Jiangnan Commercial Firm and Jiangnan Bank, and made a bold move. But I didn't expect that with this unintentional suspended animation, I would also have the opportunity to act in secret. Naturally, such a good opportunity cannot be let go. So, don’t try to persuade me about this matter, all you have to do is to help me complete this matter with all your strength.”

Hu Sanguang took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, my lord. The new identities and disguise masks of your lord and Secretary Yu have been prepared. No matter who checks, they will definitely not find any problems."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction, and said: "After meeting Feng Gang, Zhou Xin and Wu Zhiyuan, the three Gods of Wealth of our Huaxia Weifu in Suzhou, and making preparations in all aspects, you will temporarily completely follow me. Disappear by your side!"

Before Hu Sanguang could express his opinion after hearing this sentence, Yu Qingyan came in from the side door with a bowl of medicine in his hand. Seeing this, Hu Sanguang quickly got up and bowed to Yu Qingyan, and then said what Ye Chen said. After agreeing to what he said, he bowed and retreated.

Yu Qingyan looked at Ye Chen worriedly, and said: "My lord, the true energy in your dantian is already on the verge of rioting. If you don't disperse your kung fu, your life may be in danger. My lord, please disperse your kung fu quickly."

Ye Chen sighed faintly, and said: "I'm used to the days when I have true energy, if I just dissipate my hard-working true energy like this, I'm really unwilling! So, until the last moment, I'm It won't dissipate the inner strength. In addition, although Yu'er came and went in a hurry that day, I always felt that she appeared suddenly, probably because she knew that there was something wrong with my dantian. So, I think Yu'er may have a solution This matter."

Yu Qingyan angrily put the medicine bowl on the table next to Ye Chen, and said with a complicated expression: "It's just that these medicines of mine can only regulate your meridians after all, and I'm afraid you won't be able to persist until Sister Yu appears."

Ye Chen's destination is Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, because the headquarters of Jiangnan Commercial Bank and Jiangnan Bank are both in Jinling.

Departing from Hangzhou, going north all the way, disembarked in Suzhou, secretly met with Feng Gang, Wu Zhiyuan and Zhou Xin, and after making detailed follow-up plans and various contingencies, Ye Chen and Yu Qingyan were in Huaxia Weifu. In the secret stronghold, with the help of Hu Sanguang, he prepared solidly for seven days of "homework", thoroughly clarified the role he was going to play, and had some training in demeanor, habits, manners and other aspects.

On this day, a medium-sized passenger ship carrying more than 30 pedestrians departed from Suzhou for Jinling. Ye Chen and Yu Qingyan, who were dressed as a couple, were among them.

Ye Chen was dressed as a scholar, with a package on his back, a folding fan in his left hand, and an old book in his right, and he was looking at it seriously, but his face was pale and sick, and it was obvious that he had some kind of illness. sick.Yu Qingyan was dressed as a newlywed young woman, also carrying a small package, sitting next to Ye Chen on the other side of the passenger ship, most of the time along the way she lowered her head, looking like a very shy little wife, but she often looked at her. When looking at Ye Chen, his eyes were full of tenderness and worry.

At this time, the boat went to a place where the reeds were dense, and turned slightly. The sun turned the shadow of the ship's side slightly with the turning of the passenger ship. Thousands of leaves swayed, and a few birds flew into the sky together with the rolled up dust.
