Chapter 205 Walking around the city

Faced with Yu Zhongqing's official answer so lightly, Han Jian finally understood why Nanqi sent him to welcome him. The relationship was to send a smiley Buddha. No matter what he asked, he would respond with official clichés. Then he asked a question but didn't know it. Finally, he could feel a smile like a spring breeze and a home.

When Han Jian answered this, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Yu is closer to Master Zhu, or is closer to Xie Xiang?"

Even though Yu Zhongqing was a smiling Buddha, he was stunned by Han Jian's question. Then he smiled again and said, "The King of Dong is telling a joke, haha..."

He said it was a joke, but he couldn't help but touched the cold sweat. This question was quite sensitive, and he didn't expect Han Jianzhen to ask.

Han Jian also smiled and went to explain to Sima Yi and Zhang Xing about his stay, pretending not to see Yu Zhongqing's embarrassment.

In fact, before Han Jian asked this question, he had already imagined that Yu Zhongqing and Su Jin should not be neither the Empress Dowager Party nor the Xie Party. This is a very simple truth. Both sides must have a balanced relationship, so they will naturally send neutral officials to greet them. But these two people may also be factions of other auxiliary ministers, but they are not too annoying.

That night, Han Jian had already settled in the National Inn in Jinling.

The room arranged by the Qi Dynasty people for Han Jian was very luxurious. According to Yu Zhongqing, this was the place where Yang Xi lived when she first arrived. At that time, Yu Zhongqing said casually, and Han Jian didn't know whether it was true or not, but he knew that Yang Xi's life should not be easy now, and he might be detained in a dark place.

In addition to some of the guards of the Eastern Prince's Mansion were placed in the National Inn, some were placed in inns not far from the National Inn. Originally, the Qi Dynasty people were planning to place Han Jian's guards in the nearby military camp, but the nearby military camp was also in the outer city. Han Jian naturally felt worried and decided to ask them to find an inn to stay in so that they could take care of them at any time.

At night, the guards outside the Guoyi Pavilion were completed by the people of Southern Qi. There were only ten or eight soldiers in charge of guarding the Guoyi Pavilion. They could rest assured when they closed the door on weekdays. But now the envoys of the Wei Dynasty were here, and Han Jian would send people to contact the guards who lived in the inn not far away at any time, so the door could not be closed. These Qi Dynasty guards sat listlessly next to the door of the Guoyi Pavilion, carrying long spears in their hands and ended up in the long night.

"...Young Master, I saw that this state post house has a front door and a back door, and there are nine Qi kids guarding it in front. There are only four back doors, but the back door is closed. We set up some defenses inside, and safety issues should be guaranteed." Sima Yi and Zhang Xing arranged the guards' affairs together and came to report to Han Jian.

"We should be careful at any time when we are in the enemy's territory." Han Jian said, "If you have arranged it, go and rest first."

Sima Yi nodded. After all, he had just arrived at the place and the trip was a bit hasty. Han Jian led not many people, and the guards were all at the place where there were no sentry to help investigate the matter. Even if they wanted to investigate Yang Xi's whereabouts and try to rescue him, they would have to wait for the next day to prepare.

But who knew that that night, Han Jian woke up in a hurry as soon as he fell asleep. He heard the gongs outside the main entrance of the National Inn. The voices were not small, and it seemed very chaotic.

At this time, neither Sima Yi, Zhang Xing, the guards, nor the soldiers in charge of the Nanqi army were able to fall asleep.

Han Jian put on his clothes and walked out. Wen'er rubbed his eyes and followed behind. Sima Yi had just started, but Zhang Xing had just returned from outside after checking the situation.

"What's going on outside?" Han Jian asked.

"Young Master. There was water in a yard outside, and it seemed to be putting out a fire." Zhang Xing said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Walk away?" Han Jian frowned and looked at the direction where the gongs sounded. Where was there a little fire?

Zhang Xing added: "But we didn't find the fire head, we just saw a large number of people ringing the gong, and there were people from the Fire Dragon Team walking around..."

Han Jian smiled coldly, obviously there was a conspiracy. What is the false fire to put out the fire, and it is true to destroy their dreams.

"Send someone. Be careful. In short, we have nothing to do with the matter of going out to put out the fire." Han Jian ordered.

"Yes, young master." Zhang Xing bowed and went out to make arrangements immediately.

Han Jian’s meaning is very simple. If you make trouble outside, let them make trouble. It is impossible to ask them to draw help from others, in case a small girl would come over to assassinate him while the chaos was in trouble. Han Jian knew that his value was not as great as Yang Xi. The people of Southern Qi might return him to the Wei Dynasty as soon as possible, or seize him, but they might also find someone to kill him.

Now the Southern Qi court is also very complicated. If the factions send assassins to assassinate for power struggles and then frame other factions, then Han Jian will become the sucker. Han Jian wants to prevent himself from being used by others, and first stay neutral for the time being, protect his own strength, and then make plans for a long time.

On the first day of Han Jian's arrival in Jinling, he couldn't sleep at night, and the outside was in chaos all night. Han Jian was a little better. After all, he could achieve the effect of rest through retreat, but the guards below did not have such good concentration. After a night, no matter whether they were patrolling the night or not, they looked a little tired.

Han Jian even felt that this might be the trick of the Southern Qi people, so that they could not rest well, so they had no intention of caring about Yang Xi. After all, people were not iron-clad, and they had no helpers. They could only rely on these more than 200 guards to inquire about some things, but under the surveillance of the Southern Qi people, they were difficult to do everything.

"Young Master... How to arrange it today?" Sima Yi walked out yawning, looked at Han Jian, and asked a little depressedly, "Are you going to go into the palace to meet the emperor of Qi?"

"Where did we meet the emperor of Qi Dynasty?" Han Jian was in good spirits and said while having breakfast, "We will go to the city for a walk today."

Sima Yi heard this and said in surprise: "What? Young Master, this is Jinling City of Qi Dynasty, not Luoyang, nor is it our Jiangdu. There will definitely be troubles when you go outside..."

"What are we afraid of? We are here to go on a mission, not to go to jail. If the Qi Dynasty restricts our movements, we will not be placed here without any care." Han Jian put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "If you are tired, take a day off first and go out tomorrow. I will go out alone today."

When Sima Yi heard Han Jian go out alone, he smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master said nothing, why don't you go out for a walk? I'm okay."

Han Jian glanced at Sima Zhi and knew that this kid was holding on. He guessed that Sima Zhi was thinking that he would find a restaurant like in Luoyang City, and he could sit on the table to make up for his sleep.

Han Jian went out to walk around this time and brought not many people. In addition to Sima Jie, there were four guards, and he had not taken Zhang Xing yet.

Han Jian walked out of the National Inn, and there was not even a person coming to say hello, as if he was his own gate, it was easy to enter and exit. But Han Jian knew that when he walked out, there would be at least a few waves of people staring at his every move, and whatever he did would be under the eyes of the people of Southern Qi.

The people of Southern Qi would definitely think that he was going out to find out Yang Xi’s whereabouts, but Han Jian didn’t think so. He didn’t have to do the investigation by himself. This time he came out to appreciate the customs and customs of Jiangnan and paralyze the people of Southern Qi.

Han Jian, Sima Jie and others walked out. Before they could reach the intersection, they saw someone coming in a hurry, but Yu Zhongqing, the "smiling Buddha" who was greeting them across the river. Yu Zhongqing saw Han Jian traveling in his usual clothes, and was a little surprised and said, "Why is the King of the East waiting for my emperor to summon him in the inn?"

Han Jian smiled and said, "It will always feel boring to stay in one place. Come out and take a walk."

Because Yu Zhongqing was kind-hearted, Han Jian no longer called himself a widow, so he himself was used to it.

"So." Yu Zhong chuckled, "Why might I accompany the East King around?"

Han Jian thought about it and would probably get lost when he walked out. Anyway, he had no purpose in coming out. It would be better to have an extra guide.

"I'm working hard." Han Jian bowed and thanked.

"Your Majesty is welcome. In order to welcome the envoy of the Eastern King, it is also a matter of duty to accompany the Eastern King out for a walk."

Yu Zhongqing was very polite when he spoke.

In this way, a group of seven people walked out of the streets of Guoyiguan and walked casually on the streets of Jinling City.

After walking for a while, Han Jian felt that the street layout of Jinling City was very different from that of Luoyang City. Luoyang used streets as the main urban framework, while Jinling City used waterways as the main framework, and city streets were the foil of waterways. In Jinling City, rivers and ships could be seen everywhere, and there were many more cargo shops on both sides of the river than on land, but when it comes to shops and shops, land streets were still the most common. Because Han Jian was already high when he came out and did not see the scene of the morning market, Han Jian did not know how grand the street market in Jinling City was.

"Oh, it's probably the first time that King Dong went south?" Yu Zhongqing saw Han Jian walking all the way, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Not that," Han Jian said, "I was born in Jiangdu. Jiangdu City and Jinling City have many similarities."

Yu Zhongqing thought about it for a while before he smiled and patted his forehead and said, "From this memory, I forgot that the Dongwang was the lord of the southeastern territory of the Wei Dynasty, and always thought that the Dongwang came from Luoyang City."

Han Jian didn't say anything, but looked at a crowded place not far away. There were many ordinary people gathering together, as if they were watching something lively.

"Go up and take a look." Han Jian didn't discuss anything with Yu Zhongqing, and he said lightly as if he was telling Yu Zhongqing while walking.

"Dongwang, it is normal for the people to watch such a market place. If there is something unexpected happening to the Dongwang, what should I do?" Yu Zhongqing said nervously.

Han Jian smiled and said, "I heard from Mr. Yu that the public security in your Jinling City is not very good, and there is also danger when walking on the road?"

"I don't mean that." Yu Zhongqing said hurriedly.

Han Jian said: "What are you afraid of? They are all ordinary and kind people. How could they do rude things?"

Yu Zhongqing was suddenly surprised. He didn't expect Han Jian to be so "friendly". Yu Zhongqing thought that the East King had a golden key in his arms as soon as he was born. Even if he was not a playboy, he would inevitably be out of touch with the market class. However, he didn't expect Han Jian to be able to integrate into the thinking of ordinary people.
