Chapter 345: Major General, take me with you!
Yan Jin ate a few mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks. He looked at Xie Yuchuan's face and said seriously, "After the Xie family's misfortune, the people in the northwest changed. Our Yan family is engaged in business, not politics. As long as we donate some money to show our filial piety, we won't suffer a great disaster. With my grandfather in charge and my father and brothers capable, they left me alone in the northwest. They were worried and asked me to come find you."
Xie Yuchuan frowned, "Who did you offend?"
Han Qiguang folded his arms on the table and stared at Yan Jin. "Exactly. Who did you offend that scared your family so much that they kicked you out?"
Yan Jin looked left and then looked again, and finally, under the two people's stares, he coughed twice uncomfortably.
"The Prince of Xihou."
Han Qiguang: “!!!”
Even Xie Yuchuan was stunned.
"You provoked him?!"
Han Qiguang gave a thumbs up in admiration!
Xie Yuchuan drank a glass of wine, and after a while, he asked Yan Jin again, "For your sister?"
Yan Jin didn't deny it, but tilted his head. "My sixth sister had a fiancé, and he wanted to steal her away, so I tricked him."
Han Qiguang gave a thumbs-up again: "Awesome!"
Xie Yuchuan glanced at him and said, "Don't add fuel to the fire."
Han Qiguang pointed at Yan Jin and said to Xie Yuchuan, "I'm not adding fuel to the fire, but it's about that precious gem of the Marquis of Xi. Hey, Xie Yuchuan, when your Xie family was at its peak in the northwest, you wouldn't dare to offend the prince of the Marquis of Xi, right? Hey! Yan Jin dared to do that. Just for this, I have to call him an idiot, right?!"
Xie Yuchuan looked up at his old friend from the northwest beside him. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Han Qiguang had already said everything, and he didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Yan Jin picked up the wine jug and diligently poured wine for Xie Yuchuan. Just as he finished pouring, a wine glass was brought over.
Looking up, I saw Han Qiguang laughing and saying, "Little God of Wealth, you are not particular about favoritism."
Yan Jin did as he was told.
After a long time, Xie Yuchuan finally came to his senses, "So... where is your sister now?"
"I've sent him to the Taoist temple on the mountain to chant sutras."
Han Qiguang spat out a mouthful of wine!
"Your Yan family's cow is dead!"
Xie Yuchuan frowned, glared at Han Qiguang, and looked at Yan Jin: "What should we do when Zhuo Qing comes back?"
"Return to the secular world."
Han Qiguang said without thinking.
"I didn't ask you."
"If you ask him, he'll have to answer you the same way! The Yan family only has this one girl. If she offends the Marquis of Xi, she'll offend the palace. The Yan family girl has no choice but to go up the mountain to avoid this disaster from implicating Zhuo Qing, that good son-in-law. Otherwise, how can the palace let Zhuo Qing get on the list? Don't dream! What kind of morality is the imperial examination in the Daliang Dynasty? Don't you know?"
The more he spoke, the darker Yan Jin's expression grew. He stopped talking unhappily and said, "If I were Song Zhi, I would definitely protect my family. If I were the Yan family, I would definitely do the same!"
Not to mention now...
He is about to follow his brothers to do bad things, so who cares about their monkeys?
Of course, Han Qiguang only dared to think this in his heart and it was difficult to say it out loud.
Yan Jin drank in silence. The youthful passion he had when he talked about the trouble he had just gotten into disappeared again. He sat there drinking with his body straight and upright.
Just the movement of his eyes revealed his thoughts.
Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here. How did you know we were here?"
Yan Jin put down his wine glass and said, "Money makes the world go round."
Xie Yuchuan: "..."
Han Qiguang gave a thumbs up out of habit.
Yan Jin said, "My grandfather asked me to come here to repay his kindness, so I came. I heard all the way from the capital and found my way here. I originally wanted to take another route, but I heard that several caravans had been robbed up ahead, and I hadn't heard of any exiles passing through, so I decided to come here instead."
"I haven't heard of any exiles passing through Yucheng yet. I was planning to leave tomorrow, but yesterday I heard a doctor in the city treating the exiles outside. So I thought I'd stay a couple of days to see how things go. Unexpectedly, I woke up today and heard you guys were entering the city."
"And then you came?"
"No, I sent someone over to inquire first."
Xie Yuchuan asked: "What are your plans for the future?"
Yan Jin did not answer immediately, but poured himself a glass of wine, drank it, and then made up his mind. He stared into Xie Yuchuan's eyes and said seriously: "Major General, take me to Laozhou with you."
puff--
Han Qiguang really couldn't help it!
Putting down his wine glass, Han Qiguang pointed at Xie Yuchuan and said to Yan Jin, "Yan Songzhi! Do you know he's a fugitive now?! You still want to go to Liaozhou with him? Are you crazy, or is your Yan family crazy?"
Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I am now a fugitive."
Yan Jin also straightened his back and said solemnly, "When I left home, my grandfather specifically told me to find the descendants of the Xie family to repay the great kindness he showed me. Whether the young general is a convict or a general, to Yan Jin, he is still a benefactor! Since I have come to repay my gratitude, I don't mind the hardship."
Xie Yuchuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a while, he said, "The one who has done favors for your Yan family is my third uncle, not me."
"It's all the same."
After saying that, he added: "Besides, I am most familiar with the Major General."
The years in the northwest were always a vivid memory in Xie Yuchuan's youth, so when Yan Jin appeared in front of him, the past came to his mind clearly.
If Yan Jin really wanted to stay, he would not chase him away.
But now that the Xie family has left, they can no longer protect Yan Jin as the Yan family elders wish.
So... Xie Yuchuan was worried that it would be even more dangerous for Yan Jin to follow him north.
Han Qiguang stared at his old friend Yan Jin and asked him seriously, "Do you really want to accompany him north to Liaozhou?"
"Of course." Yan Jin said.
"Did you bring money with you when you went out?" Han Qiguang asked seriously.
Yan Jin looked at him and asked, "Brother Han, how much do you want?"
"That's not what I meant." Han Qiguang shook his head. "I'm just a little curious. How much wealth can your Yan family let you take out when you, the little god of wealth, go out?"
Yan Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's enough."
Han Qiguang glanced at him, snorted, pointed at Yan Jin, and said to Xie Yuchuan: "See, this kid is a monkey and a thief. Don't take him with you when you go north to Liaozhou, otherwise he will sell you out!"
"Impossible! I can't!"
Yan Jin flatly rejected it.
Xie Yuchuan glanced at Han Qiguang and said, "He would cheat you, but he won't cheat me."
Han Qiguang: “…”
Be careful in making friends! Be careful in making friends!
Yan Jin had already arrived and was not going to leave. He was determined to follow the Xie family into exile no matter what. That was why he gave a large sum of money to the officials at the beginning.
"When I came here, I asked around in advance. It seems that other caravans had also paid tribute and followed the convicts all the way." Yan Jin pondered for a moment and said, "I can also form a caravan."
Xie Yuchuan and Han Qiguang looked at him at the same time.
Yan Jin said, "If others can do it, I can do it too. After all, we're going to Laozhou. Laozhou is located on the border, so its products are definitely not as abundant as those in the Central Plains. I'll also form a caravan and go to Laozhou to sell goods. There's no difference between the north and the south, so the profit will definitely not be less!"
As they talked, their eyes became brighter and brighter!
"I've been hearing about it these past two days. There's a war going on in the north, and they're short of everything except people. If we bring our medicinal herbs, cloth, silk, and tea over here, we won't sell them to our own border residents, but to the other side. The profit margin can be multiplied several times over!"
"Major General! Take me with you. I'll definitely be useful in Laozhou!"
