In a small county at the junction of Qingzhou and Bingzhou, many outsiders have come here in recent days. This has not attracted much attention from the locals. During this time, Qingzhou is at war, Yanzhou and Liangzhou are also uneasy, but Bingzhou is not.
It happens to be bordering all three places, so it is not surprising that there will be a sudden influx of foreigners.
Ying Guest Inn is an ordinary inn in the west of the city.
The inn only has one courtyard and seven or eight guest rooms.
Usually it is hardly full, but these days it has been generously booked.
The innkeeper was naturally very happy and served the unexpected big benefactor very attentively.
It's just that these guests are a little strange. Although people come in and out every day, most of the time they don't leave the house. Moreover, these people are very quiet, and almost no sound can be heard except when eating.
Next to the inn is a restaurant, and business is booming these days.
Unlike the inn which is still quiet even when it is full, the restaurant next to it is very lively.
While the shopkeeper was wiping the counter out of boredom, he listened enviously to the noise next door.
"Sir, are you going out?" Seeing the guest walking out, the shopkeeper quickly dropped the veil and said with a smile.
The two guests ignored him, just glanced at him lightly and went out.
The shopkeeper curled his lips, picked up the handkerchief and continued to wipe the counter.
The two men left the inn and did not go far, but entered the restaurant next to it.
There was so much noise in the restaurant that the middle-aged man couldn't help but frown as soon as he stepped inside.
The two of them went up to the second floor and sat down. After the waiter served the food and wine, the middle-aged man raised his head to look at the guests upstairs.
Anyone with a little knowledge can also detect something is wrong. Some of these guests are businessmen or scholars, but most of them are dressed like charlatans.
There is also the aura of Jianghu people on his body and face, which is also very different from ordinary people and government officials.
"It's been like this in the city these days, and it's similar to here elsewhere. Suddenly many people from the world came, and I don't know what happened." The young man sitting opposite the middle-aged man whispered.
The middle-aged man said calmly: "It doesn't matter, the more people there are, the better it is for us."
"But..." The young man was a little worried, "Could these people be..." He raised his finger and pointed at the top of his head, but did not finish his words.
The middle-aged man glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Do you think that person would bring such a rabble here?"
When the young man thought about it, he felt that he was confused. The regent of Dasheng held the national army in his hands, and the Secret Code Battalion under his command was filled with countless masters. Why did he need the help of these rough and tumble men?
Judging from the uneven strength of these people, although there are some with good strength, most of them are just a bunch of people.
Even if these people get together on their own, others may not take them seriously.
"Is he the eldest son?" the young man asked.
This Wanhu City is an extremely ordinary small county town. Apart from the fact that they know that the Zhenguo Army has a secret camp here, there is really nothing special about it.
It is also a joke to say that these people should be used to deal with the Zhenguo Army.
There must be a reason why so many people from the world suddenly gathered, right?
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No, the eldest son's people will not rush into the city. Let's have them check again. At least they can't get in the way."
"Yes, General." The young man responded in a lowered voice.
On the other side, distinguished guests also came to the largest inn in the city.
This is a real distinguished guest.
The shopkeeper received the news early and was waiting at the door. Also waiting with the shopkeeper were the county magistrate of Wanhu City and some officials from the government office.
When I saw a group of people escorting a carriage approaching, I immediately went to greet it.
"I would like to welcome the prince and princess."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, the people who had originally stopped because of curiosity were startled.
Prince, princess?
How could such a big shot come to their small county town?
As for those outsiders, countless eyes fell on the carriage.
Prince and princess? Which prince?
Could it be that...someone has a vague guess in their mind.
Sitting in front of the carriage was a girl in green clothes who looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. As soon as it stopped, she jumped out of the carriage and stood still.
"Your Majesty, Princess, we are here."
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a handsome man in a black gown got out of the carriage, turned around and stretched out his hand towards the carriage.
After a while, a delicate and beautiful woman in blue emerged from the carriage.
She doesn't look much older than the girl in green. Just looking at her appearance might make people think that she is a young girl who has not yet left the palace.
But her bun and clothes showed that she was no longer a virgin.
"The common people come to greet the prince! The princess!" The shopkeeper was very excited. This small inn of his own was able to welcome the regent and the princess to stay. It was truly a blessing in life.
"Kong Yu, the magistrate of Wanhu County, respectfully welcomes the prince and princess!"
"Welcome to you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty!" The people watching finally came to their senses and knelt on the ground.
Luo Junyao held Xie Yan's hand and jumped out of the carriage. He looked at the people kneeling on the ground with some curiosity, then raised his head to look at Xie Yan.
Is it necessary to engage in such a big battle? Isn’t this just a warning?
Xie Yan squeezed her palm and said: "Get up, Mr. Kong stays, and everyone else should retreat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.
The shopkeeper greeted him eagerly, "Your Majesty, Princess, please come inside. I have tidied up the yard early and invited the two nobles to come in and rest."
Kong Yu, who was next to him, also came forward, but what he said was, "Your Majesty, this inn is crowded with people, so it is inevitable that the princess will be bumped into. Why don't you ask the prince and princess to go to the county government office to rest?"
"No need." Xie Yan said: "Princess is tired, please go inside and rest first."
The regent had already said this, so Kong Yu naturally did not dare to say anything more. The shopkeeper happily stepped forward to lead the way for everyone.
The group of people quickly entered the gate, and the carriage and accompanying horses were taken away and placed there. Only a few armed guards were left standing at the gate, making people afraid to approach easily.
As expected, the innkeeper had prepared the best courtyard in the entire inn early. After introducing everyone, the innkeeper wisely resigned.
Kong Yu, as a person who was personally named by the regent, stood in front of him respectfully. It was not until the shopkeeper retreated that he heard Xie Yan's calm voice coming from above, "Kong Yu, has anyone come to see you lately?"
Kong Yu stiffened and resisted the urge to raise his head to look at the regent on the throne.
Just when he was thinking about how to answer, he heard the regent say calmly: "Think carefully before answering."
Kong Yu only felt that he broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, and his hands and feet became weak.
The regent suddenly appeared in such a small place, could it be...
Thinking of the people he met not long ago, Kong Yu felt a chill in his heart.
Before he had time to think about it, he fell to his knees with a plop on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please tell me clearly! I, your Majesty, don't dare to hide it..."
Kong Yu said tremblingly: "Half a month ago, someone did come to see me late at night."
Wipe the sweat~ I stayed up all night yesterday and fell asleep in the afternoon.~I will update the second chapter before ten o'clock in the evening.~
As I get older, I can no longer stay up late. Not only do my eyes feel sleepy, I feel dazed all day long. It is better to go to bed early and get up early~
