Chu Mohan rode his horse and wrapped himself in a cloak. The rain had stopped. Everyone was covered in dust after traveling for more than ten consecutive days.
Chu Mohan squinted his eyes and looked ahead, vaguely seeing a group of people standing in darkness outside the city wall in front of him.
The guard who scouted the way came to report.
"Your Majesty, ahead is Fucheng in Huizhou. Lord Zhizhou expected you to arrive today, so he specially brought officials from Fucheng to greet you outside the city to greet you."
"..." Chu Mohan looked at the dark group of people.
There were hundreds of people at least.
Is this a city where all the officials are here?
Don’t everyone have to perform their own duties?
Chu Mohan's eyebrows were knotted, and the black shadow came to Chu Mohan with the horse's belly under his arm, "Your Majesty, do you want to enter the city now?"
"Enter!"
"yes."
Black Eagle waved his hand, and the large troops behind him followed him. As soon as they arrived outside the city, hundreds of officials said in unison, "I'll pay homage to your Majesty the Imperial Envoy."
"Get up."
The officials stood up.
Chu Mohan turned around and dismounted, and the magistrate in official uniform came over. The magistrate of Fucheng was a middle-aged man in his forties, fair and fat, and smiled like a festive Maitreya Buddha.
"Your Majesty, my humble post is Zhang He, the magistrate of Fucheng. Your Majesty has been working hard on your journey. I will keep a little wine in the house to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust. I hope you will give me a favor."
"..." Chu Mohan never fights an uncertain battle.
Before coming, he had briefly checked the officials in Fucheng and found out that the Zhang He in front of him had been the magistrate of Fucheng for more than ten years.
Chu Mohan's eyes flashed, "This will trouble Mr. Zhang."
"No trouble, no trouble. I have already packed up the prince's residence. Your Majesty will go into the city and take a rest. After dinner, I will introduce other officials from Fucheng to the prince."
"Good work."
Zhang He repeatedly said he did not dare.
Black Eagle noticed that although Zhang He said he didn't dare, his posture was calm and calm, and he was only polite to the prince, without much awe in his expression.
Zhizhou is the largest official in Fucheng.
The officials below clearly followed his lead.
Black Eagle's eyes turned cold.
Under Zhang He's guidance, the group entered the city. Fucheng was the place most severely affected by floods in Huizhou. Logically speaking, there should be many refugees after entering the city, but Chu Mohan scanned around and found that there were not.
The people in the city stood on both sides of the road to welcome him. The miserable situation Chu Mohan expected did not happen at all.
Chu Mohan's eyes flashed slightly.
Soon they arrived at the mansion where Chu Mohan was going to live. Zhang He introduced, "Your Majesty, this is the courtyard of Zhang Yuanwai, a wealthy businessman in Fucheng. Knowing that the prince was coming, he specially made it for him to live in.
Your Majesty, you are satisfied with it."
A house with three entrances and three exits.
With the delicacy of the south and the ruggedness of the north.
The house is very well equipped with maids and wives, and everything in the room is obviously new. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into decorating it.
Chu Mohan nodded, "Not bad."
Zhang He's smile deepened, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard on your journey. Let's take a rest first. I will humble my duties and invite someone to invite Your Majesty during the dinner."
"Thank you."
Zhang He left Zhang Mansion with a smile.
As soon as he left, the officials who were following him followed suit, leaving only Chu Mohan and his party.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Mohan shook his head and signaled Black Eagle not to say more, "Rest first."
"……yes."
After a simple wash, Chu Mohan sent the maid away, and Black Eagle said urgently, "Your Majesty, the situation in Fucheng is not right."
"This king knows."
"Does the prince still want to attend the dinner?"
"of course yes!"
Chu Mohan laughed coldly, "You have to find out what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."
"..." "Bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
"yes."
Fortunately, the Zhang Mansion had everything. After Black Eagle gave the order, a maid soon brought pen, ink, paper and inkstones. Chu Mohan immediately took the pen and wrote a letter.
"Is the prince writing a letter to His Royal Highness?"
"no."
"Well?"
"To the princess."
Chu Mohan didn't even raise his head, "Inform the princess that it's safe. We'll rush eight hundred miles away later and send them back to the capital together with the fun things I collected along the way."
"..." Black Eagle wiped his sweat.
My lord.
You are here to carry out an errand.
As soon as a letter was written and put into the envelope, there was movement outside the door. A moment later, the guard came in with a strange look on his face, "Your Majesty..." "Don't hesitate, just say."
"Master Zhang said that the prince has just arrived, and he was afraid that you might not adapt to it, so he specially sent two maids here, saying that they could take care of the prince's food and daily life. Sir, do you want the two girls to come in?"
Black Eagle was speechless.
The maid is fake, but the fact that she wants to seduce a woman to the prince is real.
Black Eagle lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, what does Mr. Zhang mean? He has come up with so many tricks just after you arrived in Fucheng. What does he want to do?"
"Test!"
Black Eagle was stunned, "What are you testing for?"
Chu Mohan squinted his eyes and sneered, "Test whether I am on the same side as them. If I accept those two maids, they will assume that I will join them.
If I refuse to accept it, I have rejected their ‘good intentions’, which means that my position is opposed to theirs.”
Black Eagle's heart thumped, "What will happen if we take opposite positions?"
"Different road non-phase plan.
It ranges from digging a hole to wait for me to jump on the matter of building embankments, or at worst...it's hard to say."
Black Eagle's heart skipped a beat when he heard it.
The prince is the legitimate son of His Majesty and the Queen. These local officials dare to embarrass him. Are they crazy? "Your Majesty..." Chu Mohan narrowed his eyes and after a moment of silence said in a deep voice, "Let the two maids come in."
Black Eagle was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "This subordinate must have kept this matter in his heart, and he will never talk too much in front of the princess after returning to the capital."
Chu Mohan, "..."...the next day.
The little star got up at dawn. In order to attract attention, she specially wore a luxurious moonlight skirt. Afraid of showing herself in public and causing trouble for Chu Mohan, she also put on a silk hat, with the gauze hanging down, covering her face.
Being enveloped in it, one cannot see clearly.
What I want is this feeling that is both cool and mysterious.
After washing, she and Mo Yu left Xingchen Mansion on horseback without even eating breakfast.
"Has the carriage carrying supplies set off?"
"The carriage delivering porridge and steamed buns has already set off. The tents, quilts and medicinal materials are still being packed. The palace guards have rushed outside the city to maintain order and organize the refugees to line up. We can give porridge when we arrive."
"good!"
Why wait until they arrive before serving porridge?
Because she not only wants to rescue the victims, but also helps Chu Mohan gain fame.
She wanted those people to know whose steamed buns they ate and whose porridge they drank to survive... She would not let Chu Mohan's money go to waste.
Little Xingxing and Mo Yu galloped all the way and soon arrived outside the city.
Seeing the scene outside the city, Little Star took a breath silently.
