Chapter 360 The Return of the True Body
On the ancient post road of the towering Zhongtiao Mountain, Li Yaoyang whipped his horse and galloped south. Su Dingfang followed closely behind. Looking into the distance, the surging Yellow River was surging.
The cold wind rustled, and the world was in bleakness. However, the New Year was approaching, Maojinfu, which was located in the 6th place of the Sanjin and Central Plains, was still full of pedestrians and carriages, and it was very lively.
As he approached the ferry, Li Yao pulled the reins lightly, slowed down his mount, and said to Su Dingfang behind him: "You are now a fifth-rank official, but you have to put this posture in order to make me less entangled."
Su Dingfang rode to Li Yao's side, nodded to her with a smile, "Please rest assured, this is a trivial matter."
At this time, the carriages and pedestrians waiting to cross the river were already lined up in several bloated long dragons. Li Yao and Su Dingfang were blocked from moving forward, but both did not dismount. Su Dingfang called out like a loud bell: "Where is the Lord of Tianjin?"
As the sound came to an end, the crowd started to stir up. Not long after, an official in a stone robe led four gunmen to squeeze out the crowd like waves. While slowly approaching, he looked at the two knights standing on horseback. However, although a man in front of him was wearing a cloth clothes, he sat firmly on the saddle and looked at people with great might. The young man behind him looked very young and handsome, wearing a scarlet silk robe, with a gold-decorated strap on his waist. He also saw that both of them were carrying horizontal swords on their waists, and the mounts under him were all good-handed... There is no doubt that such a person was obviously not something he could afford to be a ninth-rank sesame official.
The official walked to Su Dingfang's horse, quickly looked back, and replied with his hands crossed, "The lower official is Zhang Yuanjiu, the chief minister of Maojin Duzu. How dare you ask for the two names of honorable surnames?"
Su Dingfang replied proudly: "The Dianjun of the Tianfu National Master Mansion is Gao Lie."
Zhang Yuanjiu was very surprised: "Tianfu National Master...Isn't this the Princess of the Guardian who is patrolling Heluo? How could her Dian Jun appear here?" Thinking of this, he bowed respectfully: "Please Dian Jun investigate the qujie."
Su Dingfang took out a copper talisman from his waist bag and handed it to Zhang Yuanjiu: "Don't worry Zhang Jincheng quickly."
Zhang Yuanjiu took it with both hands, and after confirming it, he quickly returned it and explained: "It is the responsibility of the subordinate officials. If you offend them, Gao Dianjun should be more tolerant."
Seeing Zhang Yuanjiu looking at Li Yao, Su Dingfang looked at him as if he was about to ask questions, he hurriedly put the reins on his reins and urged: "We have important things to report to the national teacher as soon as possible. If we delay official duties, no one can afford it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanjiu immediately gave up the idea of checking the boy's identity, turned around and ordered the soldiers guarding Jin to drive away the crowd. In just a moment, he made a way for Li Yao and Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang and Li Yao rode straight on the boat, waited across the river and headed east for a while, Su Dingfang suddenly turned his head and asked, "Your Lord, if I am going to pardon King Xia and King Dong of Han, can I restore my original name?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? It's normal for Dingfang to restore his ancestor's surname. Besides, I've planned to ask you to write a secret memorial to the present."
Su Ding was slightly surprised and asked, "Then how should I write this memorial?"
His current identity information was fabricated by the Princess of the Guardian Kingdom. Not to mention the content of the memorial, he didn't know which one to use even if the signed name was used.
Li Yao knew his concerns very well, and thought for a moment and replied: "First, you need to explain that you are just seeking wealth and fame, which is to sincerely be loyal to the court. Secondly, you emphasize that you did not participate in Liu Heita's second initiation. Again, you must sign your true name. Finally, I will submit your memorial to you today, which means you do not need to show up in person."
Su Dingfang nodded to Li Yao with clarity and said with a little excitement: "I will never thank you for your great kindness. The kindness that your Lord gave to Dingfang will be remembered in mind."
Li Yao smiled and said, "I just don't want the pearl to be covered with dust. Please imagine, who else can know your talents better than me?"
She said, suddenly lifting a whip to point to the north bank of the Yellow River, and her voice was clear: "When you recover from your integrity, if you are not surprised, there will be a place to protect you in the north in the next few years."
...
...
On the banks of the Yishui River, a large team is moving forward in the snow.
The chariot was silenced and the horse was guarded by hundreds of knights. The two female crowns were half lying on the couch and their eyes closed and their eyes were dozing. In front of the window where the curtain was rolled up on one side of the carriage, a fairy-like beauty held her thin hair on her desk and wrote in a hurry.
After leaving Shanzhou, Lan Shaoying arrived in Bzhou according to the pre-developed inspection route, and then turned south, passed through Xiongzhou, Luzhou, and Ruzhou, and then followed the Yishui River to the north to Luoyang.
After Li Shimin pacified Wang Shichong, in order to seek support from prominent families and powerful people in the Heluo region, he strongly recommended local people to serve as officials in various prefectures. Almost none of them knew Princess Pingyang. In addition, the Central Plains was a place where Confucianism flourished, so they were not treated properly. When they saw the role-playing "Princess Mingzhao", "Teacher of the Heavenly Kingdom", "Governor of the East Shaanxi Road" and the guard formation with brightly-clad armor, they often accepted their heads and bowed without seeing them, and they had no doubts. Therefore, Lan Shaoying's role-playing role has not encountered any challenges so far.
However, as the substitute of Princess Mingzhao of the Guguo, Lan Shaoying would never be careless. She carefully recorded the list of people she met along the way and her daily experiences so that Li Yao could know the relevant details so as not to cause unnecessary trouble due to the delay.
After Lan Shaoying wrote it, he read the contents on the book again and confirmed that there were no mistakes. He then dried the ink marks and hid it close to his body.
Seeing that he was about to arrive in Luoyang, Song Junming, the Dian Jun, who was responsible for the safety of the trip, hurriedly rode his horse to the phoenix chariot of the Princess of the Guardian Kingdom, and said to Lan Shaoying, who was breathable in front of the window: "Master, this place is more than 30 miles away from Luoyang City. Can we rest in the inn in front tonight?"
Lan Shaoying leaned on the car window, looked up at the distance, and saw the setting sun in the long river, the sunset was everywhere, and the mountains and rivers shone together. Then he pointed his hand in front and asked, "Where have we been?"
In order to perform his duties well, Song Junming specially memorized the maps of the Heluo area and replied with his hands crossed his hands: "This place is called 'Longmen', which is a famous scenic spot in Luoyang."
In fact, Lan Shaoying also learned a lot of relevant geography knowledge. After hearing what he said, he immediately nodded: "Okay, then you can send the order to let everyone prepare for accommodation."
Lan Shaoying pulled down the curtains, frowned slightly, and said in her heart: "If the Lord of the future has not come, it seems that he can only find an excuse to visit the mountains and delay the trip..."
Just as she was thinking, a very rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the car. Then she heard Song Junming be happy at first, then turned into a confused voice: "Sister Lan, you are back! Hey? This person is..."
"A certain surname is Gao, and the character is denoted."
Su Dingfang's voice had just fallen, and Li Yao's voice sounded again at the curtain of the carriage: "Dian Jun Lan Shaoying meets the national teacher."
"Come in."
