What's even more frightening is that from that day on, whenever Qi Bao'er meets Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou will stare at her with a look that makes Qi Bao'er feel frightened.
Fortunately, Mrs. Renzhou is a real housewife. Living in a ruined temple is already a special situation. She usually has to wear a big felt hat when she is not in the carriage or on the short journey from the carriage to the resting place. The chances of encountering it are very few.
The team rushed along calmly. In the eyes of Zhou Wenxun and Mrs. Zhou, nothing happened along the way. It was so peaceful and smooth that they could not be shocked.
Prince Xian even didn't even display any guard of honor in many cities along the way. He quietly entered the city to stay at an inn in the evening and left quietly the next morning.
If the local officials knew in advance that they were already waiting outside the city, Prince Xian would not interfere with them too much. In fact, Prince Xian himself did not show up nine times out of ten when this happened. General Yuchi dismissed the local officials with a few words. The difference was that they were staying in a post house instead of an ordinary inn. They would also leave early the next morning.
In the evening twenty-three days later, before the key to the Kyoto city gate was ready, their large team finally saw the Kyoto city gate from a distance.
Whether you are in the city, near the capital, or coming from afar, you all know the time when the four city gates of the capital are closed. Don’t think that there will be fewer people at the four city gates at this time. The fact is always the opposite. The time for the city gates to open and close. , on the contrary, it is always the time when there are the largest number of people at the city gate.
People walking in and out of the city gate were in a hurry, fearing that they would not be able to enter or get out of the city if they walked too slowly.
"Eh~~" A merchant carrying a load rushed out of the city gate and felt strange. He asked another merchant next to him who was also carrying a load, "Is the city gate closed late today?"
The two of them wanted to replenish more goods and stayed in the cloth store for a while. When they left the city, they both knew that they could not catch up. They just rushed to the city gate with such vain hope. Maybe they could meet each other today. The city gates are closed late when a noble person enters the city?!
Jingzhong inns are expensive, and if you stay here for one night, businessmen like them will be exhausted for at least a few days; why not stay in an inn, because it's not safe to pick up a daring item.
It was of course the best to get out of the city. Their families were all in nearby villages, so traveling overnight was a common thing for businessmen like them.
Unexpectedly, they were so lucky today that they encountered the city gate closing late.
Another businessman wiped the sweat from his head with one hand and was happy. He was happy and curious at the same time, "Which nobleman is going to enter and leave the city today with such great honor?"
But not only for face, the opening hours of the capital's city gates are not something that just anyone can control, and many royal relatives don't have this right.
The two looked at each other and stopped on the side of the road. They were really tired from running all the way out of the city and needed to rest.
I don’t know if everyone is too tired from the journey or if they are not in a hurry to go home right now. Many people like these two stopped on the roadside and looked like they were resting. With that look in their eyes, they either glanced towards the capital or towards the capital. View from the road into Beijing.
One thing that has to be noted is that everyone walked along the edges of both sides of the road, and rested outside the official road on the grass on both sides of the official road. No need for anyone to specifically say that the road has been designated.
Cleared out.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and a huge team gradually appeared in front of everyone.
The leader was a dozen tall horses lined up two by two, each with a mighty soldier wearing black silver armor; behind the dozen cavalry was a carriage that looked ordinary but was at least twice as big as an ordinary carriage. The two sides of the carriage
There were two cavalry guards on each side; and then followed a row of five carriages that looked no different from ordinary carriages. Only one of these carriages had cavalry guards on the left and right sides; behind the carriages, there were nearly a thousand
The large cavalry team came in a mighty but orderly manner.
Black silver armor!!!
One of the running merchants was so excited that his hands were shaking. He pulled the other running merchant next to him and the two of them knelt down together, "A thousand years old, the wise prince!~"
The businessman running next to him was shocked when he pulled him to his knees, but he immediately reacted when he heard the roar. The black silver armor, isn't that the armor that Prince Xian specially equipped for the Wuying Army after he took over the Wuying Army? I heard that
The silver armor was not made by the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court, but was made by Prince Xian's own people. It was not only light but also invulnerable.
With so many people protected by the Shadowless Army, who else can have such honor except Prince Xian who left Beijing a few months ago and went to the border?!
He quickly followed suit and shouted: "Your Majesty, a thousand years old~"
Maybe the two of them had adjusted the atmosphere, or maybe it was for other reasons. Before their voices fell, the words 'The Thousand Years Old Prince Xian' kept ringing out.
Zhou Wenxun, who was in the carriage, opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside. Seeing this scene, he sighed in his heart, "My virtuous prince, you are very popular."
The Shadowless Army cavalry beside the carriage raised their ears. When they heard these words, the cold-faced cavalry who had been saying "Don't touch me" all the way bared his big white teeth and showed an extremely proud smile.
"What our prince has done for the people is all practical things. It is natural that the people should be grateful to our prince."
"Oh~~" Zhou Wenxun became interested.
He had heard a lot about the reputation of Prince Xian, but it was all about how powerful Prince Xian himself was, how mighty Prince Xian was in leading all the beasts to fight against powerful enemies, how Prince Xian could channel ghosts and gods, and fight against headless zombies alone.
Prince Xian helps solve strange and serious cases, etc.
Everything sounds shocking, and some people even privately exaggerate that as long as the Qilin Kingdom has a wise prince, they will not be afraid of powerful enemies.
But all of the above are about how strong Prince Xian is and how she can withstand powerful enemies; none of them are about what Prince Xian has done for people's livelihood and what he has done for people's ordinary lives.
So when the cavalrymen mentioned that the virtuous prince had done great things for the people, Zhou Wenxun, an official who had spent his whole life working for the benefit of the people, became interested.
"Can you please tell me something?"
Speaking of what the prince has done, any one of their Shadowless Army can talk about it for three days and three nights without stopping.
"In the past, there were no government officials or soldiers coming and going frequently on the way out of the capital to the surrounding places, unless something happened. After Prince Xian took office as Minister of the Ministry of War, he made some changes to the training methods of the city defense camps outside the capital, including daily
They carried heavy loads at regular intervals and ran long distances on these roads outside Beijing. Every day the soldiers ran on different roads, and no one knew when there would be soldiers passing by which road and which road not."
When Zhou Wenxun heard this, he understood what Prince Xian meant. This was a multi-purpose thing, training troops and protecting the people after leaving the city.
Even though this is Kyoto, in front of Lee, or in front of some desperate people, anything is still possible.
Stealing, robbing, and even killing people are not uncommon. Otherwise, why would there be a Jingzhao Mansion in the middle of Beijing?
