In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of morning light shone on Ying Zige's face, he picked up his body from the wilderness at the gate of Jicheng City.
He simply tidied up his appearance, looked at Jicheng who slowly opened the city gate in front of him, and quietly blended into the bustling queue entering the city.
Perhaps because all the major forces in Liangzhou sent elite troops to Chang'an, the guards in Jicheng were obviously lax at this time. However, as soon as the handsome Ying Zige appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city.
"Where did you come from and why did you come to the city? You don't look like someone wearing this kind of clothes?"
Ying Zige answered innocently: "My ancestral home is in Beiyuan, but my family has fallen into decline. In desperation, I came here to seek refuge with my distant cousin."
"Beiyuan? It's not that far away. You said your family is of modest means, but looking at you, even though you are wearing coarse linen clothes, you look very noble. It doesn't look like you are of modest means. Who do you think you are?
What are you here for?"
The general guarding the gate noticed what was going on here when the soldiers started questioning Ying Zige and came over. He happened to hear Ying Zige's explanation, thought about it secretly, and then asked with a solemn face.
Ying Zige looked at the general with a blank look on his face, and replied ignorantly: "The general is joking, where does the nobility come from in this kid? Even if he has it, it can only be from the wanton waste of money to support the family when the family's situation was good.
He is so ridiculous, and now that his family is in decline, even if he wakes up and wants to cultivate his noble spirit, he doesn’t have the conditions!"
"snort!"
The general snorted coldly, drew a short blade from his waist, walked slowly around Ying Zige, looked him up and down, and said: "Then tell me about the distant family you came to seek refuge with.
Cousin, who’s your name, and where do you live?”
"I'm telling you, general, my distant cousin's surname is Wang. This family naturally lives in the city of Hebei." Ying Zige replied calmly.
The reason why he did not answer Jiang Yun's name was because he trusted Wang Yi more than Jiang Yun. What's more, the reason why he came to Jicheng alone this time was, in addition to preparing for the capture of Jicheng, the most important thing was
It was because of Wang Yi, and what he did at this time was the simplest and fastest way he could think of to see Wang Yi.
At the same time, he didn't want Jiang Yun to know the news of his arrival immediately. After all, judging from the situation at the time, Jiang Yun didn't seem to like him interacting with Wang Yi, and at the same time, he and Wang Yi were not from the same family.
So when the gatekeeper general asked, he threw out this lovely person that he had thought about for a long time.
"Wang Yi? Huh!" The goalkeeper thought for a moment with a puzzled look on his face, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at Ying Zige respectfully and asked: "What you said, but Wang's shop
Wang Yi?"
"Exactly!" Ying Zige knew that there was no problem as soon as he heard the general's tone, but he became more and more curious about Wang Yi's identity in this Hebei city.
According to Wang Yi herself, she is just the owner of Wang's shop. But the owner of a small shop, not to mention a small owner according to her words, how can she let the general who guards the door treat her like this. But she had also let her be treated like this before.
Luo Wang did a brief investigation and found that there was no problem with her identity. It was strange. Could there be any new changes?
Ying Zige kept thinking about the reason while dealing with the general who suddenly changed his attitude in front of him.
But he still couldn't figure it out. He simply shook his head and muttered to himself: "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll see you later anyway. Let's talk about it then. Humph! No matter what her identity is, she is someone anyway.
!”
"Mr. Sir, can you send someone to take you there?" After greetings for a long time, when Ying Zige was about to leave, the gatekeeper general suddenly said.
Ying Zige secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that the general's move had two meanings. The first was to send someone to check himself and confirm whether he was related to Wang Yi. If he was related, then this was a dispatch to build relationships and promote exchanges. If it was fake,
That goes without saying much.
Thinking of this, Ying Zige smiled calmly and replied: "Haha, I happen to be unfamiliar with the city of Hebei. It would be great if someone familiar could lead the way. Thank you so much, General!"
As the sun gradually rose, the city of Hebei began to become noisy. Shops were shouting and drinking, and people from villages and towns from all over were walking in a hurry. Occasionally, there were four or five idlers who looked at Yingzi Ge and He from a distance with curious eyes.
This special pair of soldiers.
After all, the handsome young man wearing coarse linen clothes and the ordinary soldier wearing armor are still strange to people.
Along the way, Ying Zige did not speak to the soldiers. He looked left and right, vividly interpreting the abject image of a down-and-out family member who suddenly returned to a prosperous place after suffering a lot.
After chattering for a while, the soldiers around him stopped, saluted to Ying Zige, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Lang, we're here, this is the Wang family's house!"
Ying Zige hummed, looked up, and secretly admired.
Although the Wang Family Courtyard as a whole is not majestic, it has a unique and exquisite flavor.
The outside of the neat yard was painted a light blue color, with green willows hanging all around, covering it up and looming.
Looking along the gray steps, a black door stands solemnly in the center. On the beams above the door, and above the red plaque, there are two neat gilt characters "Prince's Palace."
Under the plaque, to the left and right of the gate.
Two strong nurses, one on the left and one on the right, stared at the two strange uninvited guests at the door.
Ying Zige smiled and said nothing, admiring the grace of the palace leisurely.
The soldiers who were secretly slandering along the way couldn't help but smile bitterly. They had no choice but to step forward and said: "Mr. Lang, the place has arrived. This is Miss Wang's residence. Do you think it is?"
"Ah! We're here! I'm sorry, I haven't been to such a prosperous place for a long time since my family fell into decline, so I couldn't help but linger in it and forget about it."
Ying Zige shouted as if he had just woken up, then looked around reluctantly, and thanked the soldier who was smiling bitterly in front of him: "Thank you, Brother Bing, for leading the way. I will go and ask about the situation now."
After saying hello politely, Ying Zige turned around and left.
In fact, both of them knew the purpose of the gatekeeper general giving way to lead the way, so they didn't say anything more.
Ying Zige took two steps forward, raised his head and glanced back and forth, then tidied up his service and moved forward calmly.
"I wonder what your husband is doing?"
The guards from the Wang family, who had been paying attention to them for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to ask, not only because of the soldiers behind them, but also because of Ying Zige's own so-called nobility. In short, the attitude of the two guards was quite friendly.
"Go ahead and let us know that Ying Zheng, an old friend from Beiyuan, is here to keep your appointment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the nurse immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "May I ask if your husband is Bei Yuan Ying Zi Ge?"
Ying Zige thought about it and immediately understood that Wang Yi must have made an explanation after returning home. He felt warm in his heart and replied with a smile.
"good!"
The nurse who asked the question immediately turned to the other nurse and said hello: "Wang San, hurry up and report to me that Young Master Ying is here!"
