Chapter 1097 The city defense officer mysteriously disappeared, and the epidemic raged in Daxing City
Princess Changle saw that Muchuan was so polite to a mere city defense officer.
But she didn't resent it, after all, she was her husband-in-law.
Muchuan smiled and said: "Princess, you don't know something. Our mission this time is to arrive in Youzhou safely, but I brought 50,000 troops and countless gold, silver and jewels! Don't you think we are very eye-catching?
So it’s best to be careful on the road.”
After hearing this, Princess Changle suddenly realized.
Indeed, as Muchuan said, the goal he and others set this time was really too big.
So it’s better to be careful along the way.
"My husband is absolutely right!"
Princess Changle smiled.
Muchuan said: "Okay, no matter what else, let's take a rest!"
Princess Changle nodded, then pulled Muchuan to sit on the couch.
Zhao Siyu, on the other hand, placed tea and snacks on the round table next to him.
"Ms. sir, how about you try this tea and snacks?"
Princess Changle asked with a smile.
Muchuan picked up a cup of tea and smelled it, then took a sip, then nodded appreciatively and said: "Not bad, not bad, the taste is authentic, and the tea is also of high quality!"
Princess Changle heard Muchuan's praise and said with a satisfied expression on her face: "This is the Longjing tea given to me by my father.
The royal tea of our palace!”
Princess Changle said with some pride.
"Haha, the princess is indeed a member of the royal family, and she even has royal tea personally gifted by your majesty!"
Muchuan said with a smile.
Princess Changle said: "What does this mean? My mother loves me the most."
While the two were chatting and laughing, they discovered that Liu Wenzhong, who was waiting on the left, didn't come either.
Princess Changle frowned.
"Ms. sir, what's going on with Liu Wenzhong?
Don't I know you?
There is still something delayed."
Princess Changle frowned and said.
Muchuan shook his head and said, "Maybe something really delayed me.
Let’s wait!”
"good!"
Princess Changle nodded and said.
After waiting for a while, Liu Wenzhong still didn't arrive, and Muchuan felt angry in his heart.
"Where are the people?"
Muchuan said strangely.
Muchuan's voice attracted the attention of the surrounding guards.
A guard came forward and asked: "Sir, what is going on?"
Muchuan smiled and said, "Don't panic!"
Muchuan said to Zhao Siyu: "Siyu, go and find out where Liu Wenzhong went?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Siyu quickly ran out to look for someone.
After a while, Zhao Siyu came back and said: "Sir, the door of the prefect's mansion is closed. I can't knock the door."
Muchuan frowned after hearing this. This Liu Wenzhong simply didn't take him seriously.
Muchuan told Zhao Siyu: "Siyu, accompany me to call the door in person."
After Zhao Siyu heard Muchuan's instructions, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly walked out to find the concierge.
Soon, Zhao Siyu found the concierge.
"Master concierge, I'm here to see the prefect.
Please inform me that we are subordinates of the Governor Muchuan of Chang'an and were ordered to go to Youzhou to take up the post. We are passing through here and hope to pay a visit."
Zhao Siyu cupped his hands and said.
When the concierge heard that he was from Chang'an, his face suddenly became serious.
The power in Chang'an City is relatively large, and ordinary people like them cannot afford to offend them.
The concierge was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wait a moment, I will ask you first, and then I will give you the news."
Zhao Siyu said: "Okay!"
The concierge left quickly.
After a while, the concierge came out quickly and said, "Sorry, we don't have any free courtyard to entertain you at the moment.
You’d better come back another day.”
At this time, Princess Changle also came over. When she heard this, she was a little angry and said: "How is this possible! I, the princess, came all the way from Chang'an with great difficulty, and you tell me that you don't have a yard to live in?"
Who are you lying to?"
"Your Highness Princess, please calm down. It's not because you are deceiving others because of your low position, but because we really don't have a yard to live in our mansion.
We hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess will understand our difficulties!"
The concierge said with a sad face.
Princess Changle was stunned and said: "Then what should we do now?
You can't sleep in a carriage."
"This." The concierge hesitated when he heard this.
This is the governor-general appointed by the emperor, and the emperor's own daughter.
If sleeping in a carriage spreads out, I'm afraid people will criticize him.
But the concierge seemed to have a backbone, and waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, it's not that you don't want to entertain us, but there has been a plague in Daxing City recently, and I'm worried that I might offend Your Highness.
So, please forgive me for the offence.
I also hope that Her Royal Highness Princess Haihan will do the same."
Upon hearing this, Muchuan's face turned cold. As a modern person, he knew that ordinary plagues were definitely highly contagious diseases.
"Are you planning to let us move in?"
Muchuan stared at the concierge coldly and said.
The concierge looked at Muchuan's cold eyes and was so frightened that he trembled all over and said hurriedly: "Master Mingjian! It's not that I don't want to entertain Her Royal Highness due to my humble position. It's just that we really have a plague here. If we bump into Her Highness, then we will be
It’s not a humble position that one person can take on!”
After Muchuan heard this, he immediately asked: "What kind of plague are you talking about?"
"It's a very severe plague that has spread almost throughout the city."
The concierge hurriedly explained.
After hearing this, Muchuan's expression changed and he said to Princess Changle: "Princess, you stay here, I'll go around the city to see what's going on!"
Although Princess Changle was very worried, she still nodded when she saw Muchuan's resolute expression and warned: "Ms. sir, you must come back as soon as possible! Be careful not to get infected."
Muchuan nodded and said, "Yes!"
Then he prepared to walk outside with his guards.
Seeing this, Princess Changle hurriedly called to Muchuan, handed a jade pendant to Muchuan, and said: "This jade pendant was given by my father, and it has the effect of ensuring peace. With this jade pendant, my husband will definitely be able to meet you."
Turn evil into good luck!"
After Muchuan heard this, he reached out to take the jade pendant, put it in his arms, and said to Princess Changle: "Thank you, madam!"
Afterwards, Muchuan followed the guards and walked outside.
As soon as he reached the door of the mansion, he met Liu Wenzhong walking in from the outside with a few guards.
After Muchuan saw Liu Wenzhong, he stopped.
Liu Wenzhong was slightly surprised when he saw Muchuan, and then he saluted and said: "Sir! I have kept you waiting for a long time. Hey, you know it. In fact, some people in our house have been infected by the plague, including the prefect Xu Deqin, who also fell on the bed at this time.
Above, we don’t dare to let you in.”
Muchuan said calmly: 'Oh! So that's it, then just go ahead and get busy! Naturally, I won't blame you.
But now we need to use your residence, and I hope Mr. Liu can allow it!"
