Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 178 I haven't thought about it yet

After hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan was silent for a while and asked, "What do you want?"

After that, Xu Yuan added: "Except for the thing you mentioned earlier, I can consider everything else."

Seeing Xu Yuan compromise, Bei Yao smiled even more deeply and said slowly: "Then I will think about it later. Go to bed early tomorrow and I will send someone to pick you up."

"We're going tomorrow night? Can't we go during the day?"

I am a little bothered by making a wish.

Although sometimes we go out at night to get information.

But Putuo Temple is a royal temple. There are no evil people, no thieves, and no dangerous people inside.

When she went there at night, there was always something... weird.

Just like tonight...

She didn't understand why someone had to knock on the window at night instead of saying something during the day.

"The Queen Mother will go to Putuo Temple to worship Buddha tomorrow. Are you sure you want to go during the day?"

After making a wish, he said, "Then let's do it at night."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Bei Yao stood up, the candlelight reflected his figure on the window, and he said, "Xuyuan, let me remind you of one last thing, be careful, I'm not the only one watching you."

After Bei Yao finished speaking, he climbed out of the window again. After climbing out, he did not forget to close the window.

Xu Yuan sighed and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The next morning, construction began in the side yard.

Loud.

After being woken up, Xu Yuan closed the doors and windows tightly. Not long after, someone came.

After taking a look at who it was, she asked, "Were you woken up by the noise too? Then you've come to the wrong place. It's noisy here too."

Seeing that Xu Yuan was still reading without being affected, Geshu Xing walked over and said, "I want to remind Master Xu not to forget what the Khan told you to do. You haven't done anything in the past two or three days."

"How can there be nothing done? Aren't there people working hard to open a shop next door? It's true that you have food this winter, but what about next year?"

Xu Yuan closed the book, stood up and said, "Besides, do you think it's that easy to take a princess away from Shangjing?"

"Why not? Just knock him out and take him away."

Xu Yuan glanced at Ge Shuxing and suddenly fell silent.

Ge Shuxing asked: "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"She is not only your Princess Chunyi, she is also the third prince's concubine-to-be and the legitimate daughter of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. You want to knock her out and take her away, but can you get past Tianqi's blockade? Or do you want to provoke another fight between the two clans?"

This time, it was Geshu Xing's turn to remain silent.

Geshu Xing just wanted to complete the task and never thought that this would provoke a conflict between the two states.

But he felt that this matter was a bit exaggerated.

When Xu Yuan saw Geshu Xing's expression, he knew that he didn't believe it.

Therefore, he made a wish, "Tianqi's customs are different from Geshu's. Geshu women can go out, ride horses and hunt, but Tianqi women can only stay in the backyard. It is very difficult for them to leave their own houses, let alone go out. Otherwise, why do you think they are called boudoir women? If you rashly go to the Taiwei Mansion to rob someone, if you take the person away, you will not be able to pass the layers of defense of Tianqi. If you don't take the person away, do you know what is waiting for Song Xiujing?"

If a woman loses her chastity and lives in a poor family, she will be dragged away and thrown into a pig cage.

If it was a wealthy family, they might cover it up and let the thief marry the woman.

But no matter which outcome it is, the woman will not have an easy time.

What's more, the person Song Xiujing was going to marry was the third prince.

The dignity of the royal family cannot be challenged by Song Xiujing.

Geshu Xing did not understand the customs of Tianqi, but based on his experience living in Tianqi these days, his wish was true.

He rarely saw women on the street.

Even if there were any, they either wore veils, had a group of servants following them, or were just sitting in the carriage and never got off.

There were some ready-made clothing shops with one or two women coming in and out, but they were all maids sent by wealthy families to do the shopping.

Young ladies from wealthy families rarely go out.

Ge Shuxing thought about it and asked Xu Yuan, "Mr. Xu, have you thought of any solution? Do you need my help?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Xu Yuan shook his head.

"you……"

"What's wrong with me? If your Khan has a solution, he can just go pick him up himself. Why does he have to threaten me?"

"I..." Ge Shuxing wanted to say something harsh, but he couldn't say it.

Geshu Xing knew that what Xu Yuan said was true.

This is not an easy matter, it is beyond their reach and they really have no other options, otherwise they would not have asked Xuyuan for help.

But this was not one of the conditions that Xuyuan negotiated with Geshu.

In other words, the only transaction between Xu Yuan and the Geshu tribe was food.

If Xuyuan was determined to break the contract and then kill himself, the Geshu tribe would have no choice but to accept defeat.

"Okay, I'll find a way, but we need to discuss this matter carefully and not act rashly."

Xu Yuan sighed softly, put down the book and asked, "Did you use any aliases when you came to Shangjing City?"

"Yes." Geshu Xing nodded and said, "Geshu's original surname was Wanyan, and my name in Shangjing is Wanyan Xing."

"What's your identity?"

"The shopkeeper of the rice and flour shop on South Street."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan was a little surprised, "How did you get it? Did you kill someone and then take his place?"

"How can this be."

"what is that?"

"The year I was born, Tianqi and Geshu stopped fighting. The Khan sent someone to Shangjing to deliver a gift list, so I stayed with my family to inquire about the news in Shangjing. I opened this rice and flour shop to provide food for Geshu's tribe. If it weren't for the cooperation with the county magistrate, the Khan would never have thought of starting a war."

As Geshu Xing spoke, his eyes turned red. "In the final analysis, it was Beimin who was not a human being. He was tyrannical and cruel. If it weren't for him, how could the Geshu tribe survive and be forced to live in the desert?"

What a wonderful prairie.

The grass is fresh and there are herds of cattle and sheep.

The two states do not disturb each other, and sometimes even share what they have with each other.

But since Beimin ascended the throne, everything has changed.

Tianqi invaded the grassland, and in just three years, Geshu was defeated step by step and had to retreat to the grassland.

The number of people killed by Beimin was more than just a river of blood.

Xuyuan didn't respond.

Geshu Xing wiped his eyes and said, "It's nothing. The current emperor is benevolent and has never started a war. If the food problem is solved, the Geshu tribe will not continue to harass Tianqi. Everything will get better and better."

Xu Yuan couldn't help but say: "You guys are really easy to satisfy."

"It's already great to be alive and have our loved ones not persecuted. We dare not ask for more."

Hearing what Ge Shuxing said, Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, it's good enough to be alive."

After she finished speaking, she continued, "Since you have a name and an identity, it will be easy. I will take you to see someone. If there is anything in the future, you two can discuss it."
