At this time, in the carriage ahead, Zu An looked at Zheng Dan with a smile: "How about we continue?"
"No!" Zheng Dan shook her head like a rattle. The sudden incident almost scared her to death. If she had been a moment later and everything had been seen, she would have been really shameless.
"Don't worry, how could an accident happen by such a coincidence?" Zu An continued to talk hard.
But no matter what he said, Zheng Dan just blushed and shook his head.
At this time, the yellow-grey-red man outside the carriage frowned. Is this Zu An addicted to letting people beat his feet?
Let a noble lady, the wife of an official, do such a thing for you, only such a scoundrel can do it.
Huang Huihong shook his head, he couldn't care so much now.
The attack just now sounded the alarm for him. A group of rabble almost succeeded in assassinating Zu An, so he never dared to be careless again.
Not only him, but the entire Forbidden Army team became nervous.
However, the next few days were calm and there was no second attack as imagined.
But both Zu An and Sang Hong knew that this was the calm before the storm. But looking at Liang Wang and Liu Yao, except for the first few days when they were really nervous, they had been fine these days, so they also
Gradually relax.
About half a month later, the team left the confines of Linchuan County and entered King Wu's territory.
I saw a group of knights galloping in front of me from a distance, and the whole group suddenly became nervous after being relaxed for many days.
Even Liang Wang and Liu Yao also stepped out of the carriage, looking solemn and on guard.
However, he immediately noticed that the cavalry was not in an attacking posture, and his expression softened slightly.
Soon the team of knights reined up their horses and stood up, and three knights came out to the King of Liang. The leader looked like a middle-aged scribe: "Sun Buqi, a humble official, is here to see the King of Liang, General Wei."
"Sun Buqi? This name sounds familiar." King Liang touched his beard.
Liu Yao on the side said: "I heard that you and Sheng Hong are King Wu's right-hand men, and they manage King Wu's palace in an orderly manner."
Because of the prince, the Liu family paid special attention to any forces that might threaten the prince's status. As King Wu was also one of the princes, they naturally studied it.
"General Liu, thank you for your praise," the middle-aged scribe smiled, "I just helped with some chores in the palace, and I don't deserve such a compliment. This time, I specially came to invite you two to the palace on behalf of King Wu. The prince originally planned to
I came to greet you in person, but I couldn’t leave because I was busy preparing for the reception, so I was sent here. I hope you two don’t mind.”
The King of Liang laughed loudly: "It's too harsh to say that. How can we be such stingy people? It's just that we are escorting imperial prisoners on this trip, so I'm afraid it won't be convenient for us to stay longer. I can only thank King Wu for his kindness."
Sun Buqi handed over his hand
Said: "The King of Wu specially asked me to invite two people when I came out this time. Yu Gong, they escorted the imperial prisoners for a hard journey, and the King of Wu also wanted to contribute to the court; Yu Private, both of them are the King of Wu's
Elders, King Wu is not in the capital, and he has rarely had the opportunity to see you two for so many years. Now that the opportunity is rare, it is natural for him to show his friendship as a landlord..."
Prince Liang is the uncle of the current emperor, and Liu Yao is the uncle of the queen. They are both the ancestors of Prince Wu. Sun Buqi made full use of this relationship to lobby. In addition, Prince Liang and Liu Yao were used to being pampered.
, it was really uncomfortable to spend this time sleeping outdoors in Fengcai, and I originally wanted to take a rest in a prosperous place.
Especially Liu Yao, because the carriage was occupied by the Magpie Nest Dove of Zu'an, and he and King Liang were in the same room every day these days. He was embarrassed and the other party was embarrassed. He just took this opportunity to ask for a carriage from King Wu to save him the trouble later.
King Liang suddenly realized a problem: "But with so many of us, will it be inconvenient to enter the city?"
Sun Buqi hurriedly replied: "Prince Liang, you can rest assured. My master has been busy with this matter these days. He has arranged many empty houses near the palace and built a school ground, which is enough to accommodate the accompanying imperial troops."
The King of Liang nodded secretly. If the King of Wu proposed that the imperial army be stationed in the military camp outside the city, he would invite a few of them to the palace. He was really worried that something would go wrong.
After all, this imperial offense was of great importance. Although King Wu always kept a low profile, he could not guarantee that the other party would not take risks.
"Wouldn't this be a bit disturbing to the people?" Liu Yaopi said with a smile.
Sun Buqi took a breath, but he responded quickly: "General, please don't worry. I heard that we are going to welcome the imperial envoy this time. Many families voluntarily donated their houses. At the same time, our prince also gave them corresponding compensation. They will never disturb the people."
.”
The King of Liang on the side sneered secretly, "Who cares if you pretend to love your name as much as your son? You don't know who you belong to and what kind of circle you belong to."
Although there was a slight disturbance, it did not affect the final decision.
Soon the military order was passed down, and the imperial troops cheered when they heard that they could enter the city to rest.
Sang Hong, who was in the prison car, frowned secretly and sighed: "It has only been a few years since the country became stable, but the Forbidden Army is still like this."
Sang Qian on the side said: "It's normal to get used to pampering yourself at the foot of the imperial city every day."
Not to mention these forbidden troops, even the Mingyue City River Defense Camp is almost useless. In comparison, these forbidden troops are more elite.
There was some worry in Sang Hong's eyes: "The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty all rely on the emperor to be the best master in the world, and feel that no one from the foreign race dares to make any changes, but the emperor will never be able to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty for the rest of his life..."
Zu An, who was in the carriage, heard the cheers of the imperial troops around him and asked curiously: "King Wu?"
After getting along for so long, Zheng Dan knew that he didn't know many common sense things in this world, so he explained: "King Wu is the fifth son of the current emperor, but his biological mother is the emperor's concubine, not the queen, so
He was assigned to the Wujun fiefdom early on."
Zu An nodded. He vaguely remembered hearing Chu Chuyan say before that Wu County is next to Linchuan County and its administrative seat is Jibeicheng. Because there is a Jishan Mountain Range in Wujun, the city is located in the north of the mountain range, so it is called Jibeicheng:
"By the way, what is the reputation of King Wu in daily life? What kind of personality does he have?"
If you want to go to someone else's territory, of course you have to do intelligence work in advance, so that you can adapt to what happens when the time comes.
Zheng Dan shook his head slightly: "King Wu usually behaves in a low-key manner and has no bad reputation. At the same time, no one praises him for his wisdom, so I don't know much about the details."
Huang Huihong outside looked a little surprised. Zu An humiliated Miss Zheng like that, but Miss Zheng still answered his questions so patiently. This woman is really good-natured.
In the carriage, Zu An had a playful expression on his face. It turned out that he was also a sage. Such a guy was either really aloof from the world, or he had big ambitions. I don't know which one he was.
"By the way, the most famous thing about King Wu over the years is that he married a woman from a small family." Zheng Dan thought of what he heard in the past few years. "You must know that noble princes like them are basically...
He will marry into a wealthy family to consolidate his status, so his behavior is very surprising."
"It's just that after someone met Princess Wu later, all the doubts were solved. Because it is said that Princess Wu has a beauty that will captivate the country, so it is understandable that King Wu made such a choice." Zheng Dan couldn't help but snort.
, "You men just love to judge people by their appearance."
Zu An suddenly became happy: "You women don't like looking at handsome guys. The women in my hometown are much more crazy about chasing handsome guys than men are chasing after female stars."
Zheng Dan was startled: "The customs in your hometown are too...too that."
Having been educated in a boudoir since she was a child, she really couldn't imagine such behavior, but she was a little envious in her heart because those women were not bound by etiquette.
Under the leadership of Sun Buqi, the team slowly entered Jibeicheng. Zu An quietly lifted the car curtain and took a look: "It seems that Mingyue City is not yet prosperous."
"That's natural. Mingyue City has salt and iron facilities, and there are wealthy businessmen from all over the world. It is naturally more prosperous than other places." Zheng Dan sounded a little proud. It seems that everyone has a hometown complex.
The streets were lined with people from Ji Beicheng. They were obviously very interested in the imperial army and came to watch the excitement.
Zu An was stunned when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. However, the figure changed his usual clothes and mingled with the crowd.
At this moment, a black light suddenly shot over from the crowd.
