The carriage slowly stopped in front of Tianzhou City Gate, and Qin Wei got out of the carriage.
Looking up at the officials on the official road, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Meet His Highness the County King!"
When all the officials saw Qin Wei, they immediately bowed and saluted.
Qin Wei raised his hand and said with a smile: "Excuse me, my lords!"
"My lords are so kind and generous, I am truly ashamed of myself!"
"Your Highness is joking. It is a blessing for us that Your Highness can come to our Tianzhou City!" Tian Sixin stood in front of a group of officials and said with a smile.
Regardless of whether he feels like it or not, he must show a welcoming gesture at this time.
Qin Wei looked at Tian Sixin, stepped forward, held Tian Sixin's arm, and said with a smile: "Before coming to Tianzhou, Mr. Lu Tonglu said that Mr. Tian was a famous person in our dynasty. At that time, I didn't believe it, but after seeing you today,
Only then do I understand that what Lord Lu Tong said is true."
"Hahaha~~"
Qin Wei's operation made Tian Sixin a little confused.
"Your Highness is familiar with Lu Tong?"
"Of course, Zhenwusi has been helped by Lord Lu Tong many times in Kyoto City. Without the help of Shuntian Mansion, how could Zhenwusi deter the martial arts forces in Kyoto in a short period of time." Qin Wei said with a smile.
He was complimenting Tian Sixin, but of course he was also reminding Tian Sixin.
In Kyoto, the Shuntian Prefecture had to help the Zhenwu Division, and in Tianzhou, the Chief Secretary also had to help the Zhenwu Division.
If you, the Chief Secretary, are unwilling, that would be a dereliction of duty on your part.
Tian Sixin looked at the somewhat immature Qin Wei, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Originally, he thought that after meeting today, he would avoid Qin Wei and Zhenwu Si from now on, but now Qin Wei is so close and complimentary to him that he doesn't know what to do.
"Your Highness has given you the award. The low-ranking official is mediocre and incompetent, which is far inferior to His Highness's achievements at a young age!"
Qin Wei smiled and did not continue to compliment him.
Before he left Beijing, he got to know the officials of Tianzhou, especially Tian Sixin. Qin Wei almost went through all his records.
He even went to Lu Tong to inquire about it, because Lu Tong and Tian Sixin were old friends of the same age.
More than twenty years ago, Lu Tong and Tian Sixin took part in the imperial examination together. They rented in the same courtyard. Later, they both won the gold medal. After going back and forth, the two became good friends.
Although in the past ten years, Lu Tong was in Kyoto and Tian Sixin was in Tianzhou, and they rarely met each other, they often exchanged letters, so Lu Tong knew Tian Sixin very well.
Lu Tong's evaluation of Tian Sixin only had four words: cautious!
Qin Wei knew very well that Zhenwu Si would encounter many obstacles when he came to Tianzhou, so he wanted to recruit Tian Sixin to make it easier for Zhenwu Si to act in Tianzhou.
However, according to Tian Sixin's character, it is not easy to get him to support Zhenwusi, so Qin Wei is not anxious about it.
Afterwards.
Tian Sixin then welcomed Qin Wei into Tianzhou City, while the soldiers and battalions of Zhenwu Division were temporarily placed outside the city.
At present, the Zhenwu Division has neither an office nor a military camp in Tianzhou. With so many soldiers, they can only set up a camp outside the city as a temporary residence.
"Your Highness, the Zhenwu Si Yamen has not been built yet, so now I have to ask Your Highness to live here temporarily." Tian Sixin led Qin Wei to a courtyard.
Qingsi Garden!
Qin Wei looked up at the plaque on the courtyard gate and nodded slightly.
Qingsi Garden is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. It is surrounded by pink walls outside, has three hanging flower gates, and is surrounded by hand-curved verandahs. The corridors in the courtyard are connected with each other and are decorated with rocks. The entire courtyard is magnificent, elegant, and exquisitely carved.
Such an exquisite and gorgeous courtyard should have been carefully prepared by Tian Sixin.
Of course, he did not give this courtyard to Qin Wei, this courtyard belonged to the Chief Secretary.
Under normal circumstances, imperial envoys or high-ranking officials from Kyoto would stay in Qingsi Garden. To put it simply, Qingsi Garden is a guest house of the Chief Secretary's Yamen.
After Qin Wei toured the garden, Tian Sixin said again: "Your Highness, I have prepared a reception banquet for Your Highness. It's almost time now, let's go there together."
Qin Wei looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "There is no need for the reception banquet. I am tired from traveling and traveling, and I just want to have a good rest."
"Here, the banquet has been booked." Tian Sixin said in embarrassment.
Qin Wei chuckled, "Although the banquet is good, the people are not good. I know that many people in Tianzhou City do not welcome me and Zhenwu Si, so there is no need to make fun of it."
"Are you right, Mr. Tian?"
Tian Sixin smiled awkwardly.
Not only did the officials in Tianzhou City not welcome Zhenwu Si, they almost wished they could drive Zhenwu Si out of Tianzhou right now.
That is to say, Qin Wei, as the king of the county, prevented them from making mistakes, otherwise they might have driven them away long ago.
Don't think that as court officials, they will follow the rules. Some officials will use any underhanded tactics to achieve their own goals.
"Okay, you guys, please go back. I don't need your company!" Qin Wei glanced at the group of silent officials behind him and issued an order to expel the guests.
Tian Sixin had no choice but to bow and retire.
Many officials also resigned one after another.
After they left, Qin Wei immediately asked Xiao Shunzi to clean up Qingsi Garden.
The original servants and maids were all driven away, and the guards were all replaced by soldiers from the Zhenwu Division.
Even the food and wine in the kitchen were thrown away by Xiao Shunzi.
There was no way, Xiao Shunzi had to be cautious because of the lessons learned from past mistakes.
Besides, since they were new here, they had to be careful.
…
The night is already deep.
In a corner of Tianzhou City, there is a remote farmhouse.
A woman in coarse cloth was holding a gray bird and stroking it tenderly.
"Little guy, when you grow up, I will take you around!"
The woman's voice is as clear and clear as a trickling stream.
Tweet~~
The little bird made a crisp chirp, and its smart eyes were as clear as black gems.
When the woman heard its cry, a bright smile appeared on her beautiful face.
Sudden.
The gentle woman's expression turned cold, and her gentle watery eyes turned as cold as frost.
"Come in!"
The hoarse voice sounded, completely different from the clear spirit that trickled down the stream before.
There was a squeak.
The wooden door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and a figure wearing a gray suit stepped into the courtyard.
"Meet Master Feiyu!"
The visitor bowed and worshiped.
The woman stood up slowly, and the cold breath was released from her exquisite body.
"What's the matter?"
"The things that His Majesty told me are ready and can be acted upon at any time!" The man in gray always lowered his head, not daring to look at the woman.
"Are you ready?"
The woman murmured indifferently, as if she was talking to herself or to the man.
"Back to the host, the four building hosts are already in place, and the three hundred hermits have also entered the predetermined positions." The man in gray said.
The woman looked up at the bright moon in the night. The cold moonlight shone on her face, making her even more beautiful and refined.
"Then let's get started!"
While talking, she carefully placed the bird in a bamboo cage.
Afterwards, she walked to the side room next to her.
Puff, puff~~
There were bursts of strange sounds, and then black shadows flew out of the wing, which seemed to be some kind of smaller birds, and there were many of them.
In the blink of an eye, countless black shadows disappeared under the night.
