Chapter 548 That Road, A Familiar But Unfamiliar Figure
This small town is the only way to go to the imperial city.
Ye Qingying calculated the time before.
King Xuan's Xuanwu army defeated the Yiyi tribe. King Xuan will return to the court, but it shouldn't be so soon.
Probably, it will be in two days.
He never expected that Feng Yexuan would come back early.
It was visually observed that they were walking very fast. The moment the army came over, thousands of troops and horses were in order, and the speed was as fast as a gust of wind.
"Xiaoyao, walk into the alley." He whispered.
"Oh." Xiaoyao, who was eating snacks, pulled the reins and planned to turn into the alley.
But unexpectedly, the army in front of them suddenly stopped.
"Wow! Stop when you say stop, it's so awesome!" Xiao Yao's eyes widened when she saw it.
Like the common people, she was watching the dark army from a distance, enjoying the fun.
Stop the army!
Ye Qingying said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyao, let's go!"
Xiaoyao was a little reluctant to leave. She didn't know why, but just watching them rush past like a gust of wind made her blood boil inexplicably.
It seemed as if I had lived in the army before.
However, if the master says to leave, then we have no choice but to leave.
She pulled the reins and drove the carriage slowly toward the alley.
As for the army on the street...
"Your Majesty, what's wrong..." Leng Ji rode up to Feng Yexuan's side.
Why did the prince suddenly stop?
Feng Yexuan himself didn't know why. Looking back and forth, he saw that the crowd was bustling and he didn't see anything wrong.
What was the cause of the fleeting pain in my heart just now?
"My lord, something is wrong?" Leng Ji suddenly felt nervous.
Could it be that there are enemy soldiers or killers mixed into the crowd of common people?
But why doesn't he feel any murderous aura at all?
Has his vigilance regressed to this point? Even though the prince said there was a problem, he was still unaware of it?
"Your Majesty..."
Feng Yexuan's eyes were still searching the crowd.
They were all ordinary people, with the occasional one or two who knew martial arts, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy about them.
It is not unusual for people to come and go in the world.
Why did my heart feel so painful just for a moment?
"Your Majesty, the prefect is here!" Leng Ji suddenly said.
I saw the prefect stumbling over with a team of people.
I didn't know before that the prince's team would arrive early, but today I found out that when they chased them out, the prince's team had already gone far away.
The Lord Magistrate chased him to death, and finally caught up with him by taking a shortcut. Unexpectedly, the prince's army passed by with a whoosh.
Like a gust of wind.
If the prince hadn't stopped suddenly, the prefect would never have been able to catch up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Meet Your Majesty!"
The prefect was panting and quickly jumped off the horse.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you, Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"
Feng Yexuan finally withdrew his eyes, lowered his eyes, and looked at the prefect who was half kneeling on the ground: "What's the matter?"
The prefect was overjoyed, but he did not expect that the prince would really pay attention to him. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Qingxi Town is plagued by predators, and the people are in dire straits."
"The imperial court once sent an imperial envoy to deal with it, but the matter was not resolved at all. The superiors... the superiors ignored it anymore."
"Presumptuous!" Leng Ji's face darkened.
What the prefect means is that after the imperial envoy came, he dealt with the matter, but when he returned, he reported to the emperor that the matter had been resolved. Is this a double act?
The prefect knew that stopping Prince Xuan was a capital offense.
What's more, he is just an insignificant ninth-grade sesame official. If he sued the Imperial Envoy, he would be guilty of the following.
However, the people are really suffering now. Even if he doesn't want his own life, the prefect still has to tell the story:
"Your Majesty, the people in our Qingxi Town are living in dire straits now. Your Majesty, you should be able to witness the poverty of the town with your own eyes. Your Majesty, please stand up for the people of Qingxi Town. It is not a pity for a low-ranking official to die, but the people are really pitiful!"
"My lord, please stay and see what Qingxi Town is really like!"
