"Sir, do we really want to go there? You saw it just now. Their inspections when entering the city are so strict. What if we do?" Zhuo Yan looked at no one around him and persuaded in a low voice.
"Yes, but they are exaggerating, aren't they?" Another subordinate also complained in a low voice.
He Zexu, dressed in an ordinary young man's attire, was playing with the jade pendant he had just bought at a roadside stall. He did not respond to his subordinate's questions, nor did he dislike his subordinate's noise.
He doesn't like this kind of thing, and he doesn't lack it. There are many things in his palace that are a hundred times better than this. The reason why he bought them was just to go to the temple fair.
I wanted to go into Xuzhou City and have a look, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
There are several checkpoints set up at the city gate, and people who come in and out have cards in their hands.
I wanted to mix in a few brands, but I didn't expect it. The seemingly ordinary bamboo brand actually had a lot of secrets. The pattern engraved on it was actually related to the gender, age, and residence of the license holder.
Even if you have a sign in your hand, you won't be able to enter the city smoothly. When you see someone at a few checkpoints, they will stop you and check them according to the patterns on the sign.
Fortunately, the information was obtained by inviting an alcoholic to drink in the restaurant before stealing the sign.
Otherwise, if you really walk into the city rashly, you will be embarrassed if you are interrogated.
Of course, there is nothing to fear if they are actually found out. It is not that easy to catch them.
It's just that he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
My subordinates just complained, saying it was too exaggerated! It was indeed an exaggeration, and it was like the situation during the martial law in the capital.
This Mrs. Gu is also quite interesting. She dared to occupy these three cities and two cities in other countries. More than ten years have passed, but she still has not established a country and proclaimed herself an emperor as rumored.
Therefore, He Zexu still believes that there are actually other people occupying these five cities.
In fact, there is one thing that He Zexu has never understood: why did the powerful Mrs. Gu, who was originally in Xuzhou City, leave and go to Dama City?
Several subordinates analyzed it and said that she might have moved because she was afraid of him, the lucky king.
It sounds reasonable, but He Zexu feels that things may not be that simple.
Perhaps she moved to Bandar Malaysia because she thought it would be easier to expand her power and occupy territory there?
Regardless of whether she is the person behind these five cities or someone else, since she has such courage and ambition, her appetite should not be so small, because generally speaking, ambitious people are actually more greedy and will not
If you stop, you will become more greedy and want more.
"Walking around again, I'll go in alone at night to explore." He Zexu finished speaking in a low voice, then picked up his feet and continued walking forward.
For more than ten years, he has been busy fighting chaos and rebellion. Even when he was resting, he never went to temple fairs or participated in any fun. He even refused to go to the capital to socialize.
The reason why I went shopping this time was because I couldn't get into Xuzhou City.
However, after arriving at Yuncheng, what he saw and heard touched him.
In the past ten years or so, we have been fighting chaos all over the country, and all we have seen is the suffering of the people. This is the first time in a long time that we have seen this kind of prosperity and stability.
He knew that the reason why this place was like this was entirely because of the light that occupied Xuzhou, Langcheng and Peicheng.
At this point, he had to admit that Mrs. Gu, or the person behind her, was indeed capable and capable.
Not only were they able to keep several abandoned cities in order, but they also allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, rather than just occupying land and regardless of whether the people lived well or not.
"Master Le, those are the people who were talking to drunkards in the restaurant earlier." Not far away, a man who looked like a waiter told a young man in a low voice.
The young man is Xiao Le. His dragon boat team won the first prize today. After receiving the prize, he went to the temple fair with his brother and sister.
My younger sister heard that there was a shadow puppet show in the west of the city, so my eldest brother accompanied her to watch it. Xiao Le didn't like watching it, so he didn't go there.
In fact, the eldest brother didn't like to watch that either, but he spent most of his time in the military camp and rarely had time to spend with his sister, so even though he didn't like it, he still went.
However, it didn't seem like much fun for him to go shopping by himself.
Just when Xiao Le was about to change direction and go to the inn to look for his mother, he happened to see one of his own with a boy from Sihai Restaurant coming over.
Because Xuzhou helped resolve the bandit invasion of the city a few years ago. Although it has been so long ago, the people of Yuncheng still vividly remember the scene at that time.
It was too bloody and terrible. The bandits and gangs were so cruel that no one in the dozen or so families outside the city, ranging from old to young, was spared.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xuzhougu's troops arrived in time, otherwise Yuncheng would have almost turned into a hell on earth.
Therefore, Mrs. Gu from the three cities of Xuzhou is the benefactor and Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people in Yuncheng.
In addition, in recent years, thanks to the glory of the three cities of Xuzhou, everyone's life has been stable. Therefore, the people of Yuncheng have always hoped that life can continue like this without any changes.
However, the common people also know that this wish is a bit difficult, and they cannot do whatever they want. The court will never leave this place indifferent.
There are those very wise people among the common people who spontaneously give everyone advice in private, that is, pay attention to abnormalities in daily life.
After all, if the imperial court wanted to take action against the three cities of Xuzhou, it would definitely have to arrange for people to come over and investigate secretly.
If everyone wants to repay Mrs. Gu for saving her life, then pay careful attention.
No, when the waiter at Sihai Restaurant was serving wine to the guests, he happened to overhear a few strange diners asking the drunkard about Wang Zhupai. Moreover, they immediately fell silent as soon as the waiter approached.
The waiter immediately told the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately arranged for another waiter to keep a close eye on the diners with unfamiliar faces, and asked the other waiter to immediately tell the people in Xuzhou City about the matter.
When the people in Xuzhou City heard this, they immediately brought them over because they knew that the lady and the three young masters were here.
When Xiao Le saw the person the waiter was talking about, he felt his heart beat faster and was about to jump out of his chest. He was very excited to win the dragon boat race.
Isn't this the person on the scroll that my mother hid? The person that the eldest brother has met, and the one who wants to be sworn brother with the eldest brother - daddy!
At first, I felt a little regretful that my eldest brother had already met his father in person, but he and his sister had not yet met. I didn’t expect that they would actually meet him while visiting a temple fair here!
No, what is dad doing in Yuncheng now? No news came from the person whom the eldest brother arranged to keep an eye on, indicating that he was not keeping an eye on him. Xiao Le suddenly became excited in his excitement!
"Master Le, there are only a few of them, do you want to arrest them and take them back for interrogation?" a follower asked in a low voice.
The attendant's voice brought Xiao Le back to his senses, and he saw that the waiters from Sihai Restaurant had not yet left: "Well done, thank you." Then, he asked the attendant to give the waiter a ten-tael silver ingot.
The clerk repeatedly waved his hand and refused to accept it. He only said that it was necessary and he was very happy to be able to do something for Mrs. Gu and Xuzhou City. Then he turned around and ran away.
"Master Le, do you want me to report to Madam and General An?" the attendant asked...
