That day, Rong Suihe and Zhao Shi discussed their plans until late at night. The next day, they discussed their plans with Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yufeng. Their suggestions for taking the sea route, especially since they would neither go to Chang'an nor go to Chang'an after leaving Northern Xinjiang, were discussed with Zhao Shi. I was very excited about going to Western Xinjiang and going directly back to Nanfeng County: "It's been two years since we left in the blink of an eye, and I don't know what my hometown is like now?"
"Where do the ships come from?" After getting excited, he raised various doubts, "Although the sea is vast, the wind direction in this season seems to be a headwind heading north, right?"
Rong Suihe said with a smile: "Auntie, if you think about my background, there is nothing else. How can there be a shortage of ships and sailors? And there is no need to transfer them from the south. There are already existing ones near the northern ports."
Xuan Yu Feng and Sheng Weiqiao were both surprised when they heard this: "Seriously? When did you get transferred here?"
"When I set off from Western Xinjiang, I sent a fleet that was already operating in the north to go north." Rong Suihe said, "So there is no need to wait at all. The problem now is how to leave Jizhou City and get to the seaside. . Once on the ship, Meng Boqin has nothing to fear even if he sends all his men to catch up at sea!"
Sheng Weiqiao said with a smile: "Although Northern Xinjiang's fine cavalry is famous all over the world, they only practice their skills on horseback. Eighty-nine times out of ten they are landlubbers. If you ask them to chase them to the sea, I'm afraid they will be knocked down by seasickness without having to fight. It’s a big piece!”
"When Tortoiseshell Island was recruited before, didn't almost all the people and boats come ashore?" Xuan Yu and Feng Shi asked puzzledly, "Could there be some left behind? But why are they operating in the north?"
Rong Suihe muttered: "Aunt, Tortoiseshell Island didn't spare a hand. But have you forgotten that last year, the imperial court decided to recruit Qihai because of the landing of Tortoiseshell Island? At that time, King Gaomi decided to let the prince represent his faction, but again Are you afraid that the prince has never been to the sea and cannot do such a thing, so you asked me to send people to help him?"
"Although I made an agreement with him that the majority of the wealth obtained from recruiting people will be mine."
"It's just that this is a benefit on the surface. Secretly, those good ships, especially warships, will only be ruined in the hands of people who don't know how to do it. The people I sent to serve as advisors to the prince made their own decisions. Stay!"
"I received the report afterwards, thinking that Meng Boqin had been entrenched in the north for many years and would have to fight with me sooner or later, so it would be better to lay a secret secret. So I arranged for other people to take over the ships, and by the way, I recruited a group of knowledgeable people from the pirates in the north. Take advantage of the time limit given by the court and stay in hiding for the time being!"
"Originally, I just laid it out casually, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now!"
The imperial court decided to recruit Nanami last year, and overall the matter went smoothly.
Firstly, the Rong family is not exhausted, but the imperial court is still the most powerful, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that banditry will not last long; secondly, there is an example of Tortoiseshell Island, and the future is not bad after landing; thirdly, they are in Before making the decision, they all received a tactful notice: The imperial court's trip was for the gold, silver and jewelry they had accumulated for many years. Surrender quickly and wisely, and at least give them a few official hats, otherwise they would be treated as a typical oligarch!
So except for a few who were desperate, they all gave up their knees very quickly.
However, because the seven seas are vast, if Rong Qingzui had not been assassinated on the way and needed to return to Chang'an to recuperate, he would have been busy by now!
Therefore, the group of people that Rong Suihe sent over to gather did not arouse suspicion because they had not yet landed.
Originally, he planned to have the best warships "accidentally sink" when all the other pirates were about to leave, and then change their appearance and continue to lurk at sea to prepare for the future attack on northern Xinjiang. But the situation has changed now, and it is ready for use by Sheng Weiqiao, mother and son, and Xuanyu Feng.
Ever since Rong Suihe came to visit Sheng Weiqiao in person and proved his affection for Sheng Weiqiao, Xuanyu Feng's attitude towards him suddenly became very good. Even in front of Sheng Weiqiao, her niece rarely let her guard against her husband. .
At this moment, she smiled and praised him: "I just said that there were so many young and talented people who wanted to marry my Qiaoer, why would she rather marry far away than marry you? Now it seems that it is my brother-in-law's. The apple of my eye, your eyesight is really good! If it were anyone else, they would have done a good job of not panicking in the face of this situation, but how can you be so considerate and prepared for a rainy day?"
Rong Suihe smiled and said a few words of humility, and said: "I have discussed with my uncle the way to leave the city, and it is like this..."
The aunt and nephew nodded while listening, saying that this method was very good. Meng Boqin didn't know that Sheng Weiqiao had given birth. Even if Sheng Weiqiao was prevented from leaving Jizhou City, the focus would be on the pregnant woman. In this way, Sheng Weiqiao could return to normal life. Dress up and leave calmly.
"The main problem now is the road to the seaside after leaving the city." Rong Suihe asked someone to get a simple map and draw it for them. "From Jizhou City to the seaside, the shortest path is of course a straight line, but this road is not It’s easy to walk because there is a mountain on the way. Although it is not high, it is very steep.”
"The next closest one is this one, which goes around the foot of the mountain."
"The problem is that there is a checkpoint here, and the person who calls the shots is Meng Boqin's confidant."
"If we go a little further... there will be many paths to choose from."
"It's just that the farther away you are, the easier it is to detect the clues, but it's troublesome."
He finally pointed to one of the roads, "This route was decided after repeated discussions with my uncle. Some of my uncle's men have walked it. Although it was a few years ago, it is because it is mostly in places where few people pass by." , I guess it won’t change much! And I’ve asked Lianshan to send people to attack the front station at night.”
"Why do you want to go to such a place where no one passes by?" Sheng Weiqiao asked puzzledly, "Although it is bitterly cold in northern Xinjiang, it is the hottest time of the year after all, and the vegetation here is also very green and lush. How could snakes and insects be missing in a place like this where there are no people? It's okay for us adults to just walk here, but Ruibin is still so young, how can he bear it? Even if there is insect repellent, he won't use it too much at his age. All right?"
Rong Suihe glanced at her and said, "Good girl, just because Ruibin is still young and not sensible, if he starts crying on the way and happens to meet Meng Boqin's people and becomes suspicious, wouldn't it be leaked?" Are you hiding? So of course you have to choose a road where no one passes by. In this way, even if you happen to meet one or two people, you can silence them or coerce them to follow you to avoid leaking the news. It’s all convenient, isn’t it? "
"Does Meng Boqin not even know that I have given birth?" Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while and said, "In that case, why do you have to let Ruibin leave with me and my aunt?! Anyway, we will show up in public and pretend. It’s not necessary for him to be present during the delivery! In that case, why not send him to the sea ship now? You have already said that you have a fleet of ships. If the child is not used to life at sea by then, We can also let them split up several boats to send the child back to Nanfeng County! There are my parents, grandmother and other elders on the left and right, so even if the child goes there alone, he won't have to worry about no one to take care of him!"
Xuan Yu and Feng Shi think it makes sense: "I also think it's better to go separately! Qiaoer and I can both ride horses. Although Qiaoer just gave birth to a baby, it's not suitable for it to be too bumpy. However, we always have to be prepared for any emergency. It’s more reassuring! If Guo Ruibin follows, even if we don’t take him, we will still be distracted! Send the child to the sea in advance, and there will be no worries, and it will be easier to move, right?”
Rong Suihe thought: "Why don't I understand this? It's just that the two bastards, Mr. Wu and Xu Lianshan, together with Zhao Shi, the unsatisfactory uncle, behaved so unsatisfactory after the birth of the good girl? ! Even if I come here in person, if I take the initiative to ask Ruibin to leave first... My dear girl, I'll just pay it back. Who knows, aunt, if you will suspect that my trip is mainly for my children? I don't even hesitate to ask my dear girl to pretend that it hasn't happened yet. The appearance of giving birth was a cover for the child's departure... Then I was so unjust!"
There was a look of surprise on his face and he said: "This is really... neither my uncle nor I expected it!"
"But there is a problem with doing this." Xuanyu Feng said, turning to Sheng Weiqiao, "Ruibin was only born for more than ten days. He is too young. I wonder if he can bear the long journey? I have to call him. The doctor just needs to take a look! Otherwise, we can only make other plans."
She still had something to worry about, which was that Rong Ruibin was born prematurely after all. Even if he was born prematurely for a month or so, the doctors have always said that the little prince is in good health and is no worse than other children born at full term. But to say this Whether the older children can eat enough to go on the road, or whether the climate, water and soil changes from north to south, Xuan Yu Feng is a little cautious after all.
Rong Suihe was calm and composed, and said with a smile: "I think there should be no problem. My good daughter and I have always been in good health, and even my father-in-law and mother-in-law are also very healthy. What can't be tolerated by this child?"
"Of course I also hope that the child's constitution will be passed on to you." Xuan Yu Feng said sincerely, "But it's better to listen to the doctor."
So several doctors collectively consulted Rong Ruibin, and the result was as Rong Suihe expected: Rong Ruibin was very strong, and if he was in a hurry, as long as it wasn't too much trouble, he would be fine.
These doctors all came here with money equivalent to buying their lives. Although they have been locked up in a separate courtyard since they arrived and were not communicated with the outside world, they were asked whether Rong Ruibin could bear the journey. Laoden, how could you not know that the owners of the other courtyard are planning to leave
If the master wants to leave, he must take his confidants with him, but for doctors like them, this may not be the case.
Not to mention that Northern Xinjiang has never been a kind place. If a doctor who can't carry his shoulders and lift his hands stays, what will happen if he meets Bing Xian? Before the master leaves, there is a high probability that they will be silenced in order to leak the news. How can they? Everyone has to fight to be taken along.
So they all kept a careful eye at this moment and said in unison: "Although the young prince is very strong and has no problem traveling. But after all, he is still young, so it is better to have a doctor watching over him."
Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yufeng discussed it and decided to divide the doctors into two teams. One team would follow Rong Ruibin and leave first, while the other team would follow the aunt and nephew later.
After all, not only the young Rong Ruibin needed a doctor by his side, but Sheng Weiqiao, who was just out of confinement and would be on his way, also needed an expert by his side to give advice at any time.
"Wen Po and the Wet Nurse pretended to be husband and wife with the doctors, so they could deceive others." Xuan Yu Feng added, "It's just that the family members of these doctors are in the hands of your parents, but Wen Po and Wet Nurse were found by General Huaihua. You have to confirm its reliability with General Huaihua!"
The three of them finished the details one by one and communicated the news to Zhao Shi. Within three or five days, they packed up Rong Ruibin's things and handed them over to a group of confidants headed by Xu Lianshan to send them to sea.
Because Rong Ruibin cried as soon as he was in the hands of his parents, the couple did not dare to hold him during this period.
Now that they were about to leave, Sheng Weiqiao felt somewhat sad. He made an exception and asked the wet nurse to take the child into her arms. She was worried that he would cry immediately, but she saw that the son seemed to know that he would not be able to see his mother for a while, and opened his eyes. He looked at her with dark eyes and said "yaa" a few times. Although he curled his lips, he didn't look very happy, but he didn't mean to cry.
Sheng Weiqiao was surprised and happy. She kissed his tender little face and whispered: "Be a good boy. Wait a few days. My concubine and your aunt will arrive soon!"
Naturally, Rong Ruibin didn't understand at this moment. He struggled a few times with his hands and feet. Because he was tied up in swaddling clothes and couldn't move easily, his little mouth became flat and flat, as if he was about to cry.
Xuanyu Feng quickly grabbed it and coaxed the little ancestor to sleep. She was relieved and handed it to the wet nurse: "Have a good life serving the little prince, and your whole family will be blessed later!"
The implication is that if you don't take good care of it, your whole family won't be able to escape!
When the wet nurse heard this, she immediately promised: "I will serve the young prince with all my heart, and I will never slack off at all!"
Sheng Weiqiao then said a few more words. Seeing that it was getting late, although he was reluctant to leave, he waved: "Go!"
At this time, she just felt a little reluctant to let go, nothing more.
After a while, the people below came to report that Xu Lianshan and his party had brought Rong Ruibin out of the city safely and smoothly, without arousing the slightest suspicion among the soldiers at the city gate. Sheng Weiqiao originally said it with a smile, but suddenly he burst into tears. Come down!
