Chapter 101 The Ancient City

Yue Bei was in a very bad mood at this moment. He couldn't remember the last time he was as bad as this time. His face looked very ugly when he sat in the carriage.

"Awaken?" Seeing that Wei Shi slowly opened his eyes, Yue Bei spoke coldly.

"Big, sir?"

When Wei was waking up, his body couldn't help but have a cold war, obviously not breaking away from his deep fear before. When he was sure that the surroundings were extremely safe, he knelt in front of Yue Bei regardless of the biting pain of his wrist.

"Sir! You must make the decision for the humble official this time! The rebel was still arrogant after knowing that the humble official was the prefect, and he cut off his hands in front of everyone. If he didn't die, he would not be able to remove the hatred in his heart!" Because there were not many teeth left, Wei was seriously leaking when he was talking.

"If I guess correctly, do you want to Lingchi Nanzhao's side by side prince?"

Wei Chengshi was shocked when he heard this. He took a while to say, "Sir, that boy is the prince who is the prince who is shoulder to shoulder? Are you wrong? How could the prince live in that house like a dog circle?"

Yue Bei leaned forward and looked like black charcoal. "What does his identity matter? Tell me the truth, what did you say during the period when you were in contact with him?"

Hearing this, Wei Congshi said carefully: "I didn't say anything, but just talked about the royal heir burial tax."

"Is there really nothing else?"

Wei, who knew the meaning of Yue Bei's dialect, solemnly replied: "Don't worry, I only explained the matter of the royal heir burial tax. Even if I suffered the pain of the broken palm, I did not reveal what I should not say."

After staring at the other party's eyes for a while, Yue Qun sat back and smiled, "I am just in case. I still know your loyalty. Oh, by the way, there are pain relief pills in the package behind you. After taking it, you will relieve most of the pain."

Wei Chengshi said gratefully: "Thank you for giving the medicine." After that, his fat body turned back.

“Um…”

The gushing blood was scattered in the carriage without any stinginess.

Wei never dreamed that when he turned around and took medicine, Yue Bei, who had been serving for many years, stabbed his neck with a dagger.

Yue Bei looked at the other party's shocked and resentful eyes and sighed: "Don't worry about my ruthlessness, mainly because I really don't know if you have disclosed a secret, so I have to get rid of your hidden danger. Don't worry, after you die, I will protect your family's wealth throughout your life. Of course, my concubine who has just passed by the door a few days will also take good care of me."

"You...you must die..."

Wei Chengshi could no longer say a complete sentence. Whenever he tried to say a word, he would spit out a lot of blood. In the end, he could only use his extremely resentful eyes to pull Yue Bei and die with hatred.

"It would be fine if you travel to the mountains and rivers honestly. If you want to cause trouble, don't blame me for breaking the incense of the royal palace side by side."

---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)

The next morning, Qingyan and Shangguan Feiyan stood at the entrance of Zhoujia Village and were very helpless.

"Brother-in-law, let all the villagers go back. I feel embarrassed to leave because of such a grand manner." Qing Yan looked at the somewhat crowded villagers in front of him.

"Yes, mother-in-law, you and your father-in-law will lead the villagers back. Qingyan and I are juniors, so why are you embarrassed to let you see each other off?" Shangguan Feiyan also advised him.

Zhou Gensheng handed a small package to Qingyan and said reluctantly: "Criminal Master, you can find a way out for our Zhoujia Village. We have no choice but to repay you. I don't know if there is any chance to meet again in the future. The package contains the white buns steamed by your mother-in-law and I overnight, and we will take them to eat on the road."

Grandma Zhou also stepped forward and grabbed Shangguan Feiyan's hand and smiled, "I really want to keep your two children for a few more days, but I also know that you still have important things to do. If you pass by Qushui County in the future, you must come to visit your mother-in-law."

Shangguan Feiyan was extremely moved when she heard this. She remembered that her mother had gone when she was young. She had been by her father since she was a child. She had never experienced the care outside of fatherly love, so her eyes were a little red and she choked and said, "Mother-in-law, you and my father-in-law should take care of themselves. Qingyan and I will definitely come to visit the two elders again."

"Okay, it's getting late. You and Qingyan will go here, remember what mother-in-law said." Grandma Zhou reluctantly let go of Shangguan Feiyan's jade hand.

The two of them turned over the horse, looked at these simple villagers with a deep glance, and then rode westward, leaving behind a group of figures that the villagers had never left for a long time.

And under a tall tree trunk not far from the village entrance, two men in black watched coldly at everything that happened.

"Go back and report these two people to King Zhoujue and ask for the next order."

.....

Qingyan and Shangguan Feiyan rushed west, and although they were dusty along the way, they never encountered any difficulties again. After leaving Qushui County, they were Sui'an County, and then they were not far from Cheng.

Since leaving Qushui County, the landform has changed, with hills and valleys intersecting, wide and round valleys, and sparse arrangements, which have lived up to the previous view of the mountains surrounding the steep mountains.

"Miss Shangguan... Fei, Feiyan, our journey west is not slow. We can reach Chengdu before dusk. It's better to take a break first." Qingyan felt Shangguan Feiyan's bad eyes and quickly changed his words.

Shangguan Feiyan was delighted when she heard this, but there was no trace on her face. She came to an ancient tree and turned over and dismounted.

"The skills of Mr. Zhou and her mother-in-law are really good. After two days, the white bun is still so soft and delicious." Qingyan leaned under the tree and handed the other party a steamed bun.

After that, both of them were speechless, quietly enjoying the lush greenness and the scent of birds and flowers.

"What's the name of the woman you said that night?" Shangguan Feiyan spoke first.

Since leaving Zhoujia Village, Qing Yan always felt that Shangguan Feiyan seemed to be a little abnormal, but he couldn't see the reason for this for a while, just thinking that his fever has not yet recovered.

"Her name is Dong Zhao, and she is the daughter of Prince Lingnan." Qing Yan took out a steamed bun from the package.

"It turns out to be Princess Nishang. I heard that she has a very outstanding appearance and has been so beautiful in less than 28 years. No wonder you like it so much." Shangguan Feiyan looked into the distance and continued: "It is also a match for the whole family. There are only a handful of women who can be worthy of you."

Qingyan did not hear the deep melancholy hidden in his words, and still answered heartlessly: "Actually, I didn't feel any affection for her before. I realized when I first went to the battlefield on the shore of Luoxi Lake that night. I didn't know if I could survive that night. I just thought that if I died like this, I would definitely marry that girl in my next life."

"That night, you said, when you were seriously injured and was killed, Princess Nishang knelt down for three days and three nights and cried. Did this incident touch you?"

"Of course, I'm not a piece of wood without emotions. Zhao'er naturally moved me very much." Qing Yan then smiled silly and said, "After that, Zhao'er is still pretty, hehe."

Seeing that he was so shameless, Shangguan Feiyan was about to ridicule him, but Qingyan's next words made her swallow the words back.

"Apart from Ling'er and you, I have never met any girl with such a look. Hehe, I, as a man, will have a bright face." Qingyan didn't know how obscene his expression was at this moment.

"Look at your face. If the Prince of Lingnan heard these words, he would have burned your stomach and lit the sky lantern." Shangguan Feiyan stood up and walked towards the horse, "Have you eaten enough? If you have eaten enough, continue on the road."

Qingyan got into trouble with the other party somewhere and muttered: "In this world, fever is so terrifying. You have to pay attention to your health in the future."

---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)

Just after the time of the morning, the two of them could already see the wide walls of the ancient city of Chengdu from afar.

"According to Mr. Su, Chengdu already existed before the Seven Kingdoms era and is a veritable ancient city." Qingyan looked at the bustling crowd on the official road and sighed.

"Yes, Chengdu was the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom at first. It was included in the territory because it was defeated by Qin Kingdom, and finally became the territory of Zhao more than 700 years ago."

The two led their horses through the ancient city gate, but did not carefully appreciate the scenery of the ancient city, and rushed straight to the governor's mansion.

Wen Lingyun is fifty-four years old this year. He was a sesame official who managed the canal transportation when he was young. Because he was appreciated by the court for his headlines in the local canal transportation management, he became the governor of Yizhou step by step. He sat in this position for ten years.

Although he was over the prime of his life, Wen Lingyun was still energetic. As the rear of the Qinwu Legion and the granary of Yizhou, Wen Lingyun dared not slacken at all in the past because he knew very well that if the Qinwu Legion was defeated by insufficient supply, it would not only be Yizhou, but also half of the entire Nan Zhao country would collapse in an instant.

There has been no war in Qinzhou in recent years, so Wen Lingyun has lived a solid life until more than 20 days ago.

"Sir, now we can confirm that the Qingzhu Gang Duduo has gathered 10,000 experts around Chengdu. It seems that he will go north to attack Qingcheng Mountain soon."

Wen Lingyun rubbed his temples in pain, "There is news from Jinling that it is too abnormal for Your Majesty to not give any instructions for such a big deal."

"Adults should make plans early. If there is any accident during the message transmission process, or if Jinling does not come up with a good solution for a while, we can't just watch Duidu attack the mountain. This is a total of 10,000 people. If you really want to make a fuss about your career..."

"I don't understand, but forcing me to intervene in the affairs of the world is likely to be counterproductive. The Qingzhu Gang is the largest gang in the world. Although he has not relied on the court over the years, he has not shown any malice towards me, Nan Zhao. If the Qingzhu Gang hated the court because of my actions, the consequences will be even more unimaginable."

Qian Zhong, the governor of Yizhou, sighed softly, knowing that what the governor said was true. If the court did not issue an order, the governor would not do anything in the front and back, and there was no way out.

"Qian Zhong, if you send more people to Jinling, you must report all the situation in Yizhou."

"The lower official obeys the order."

Qian Zhong stood up and walked out of the hall. He found a servant running quickly, his face covered in sweat.

"Old, lord! People from Jinling are here and are waiting in the front hall now."

Wen Lingyun heard the great news and rushed up from the seat and asked, "Is it really an imperial envoy from Jinling? Has the other party reported his identity?"

"When the master said, the other party was a man and a woman in his twenties. They did not reveal their identity, but just asked the villain to hand it over to the master." The servant knelt on the ground and handed something respectfully with his hands.

"Side by side with the royal palace!"

Wen Lingyun looked at the iron plate in shock and exclaimed in surprise. Qian Zhong also had the same expression as the former when he heard these four words.

"Go and take the only five cents left by the second wife for the guests to enjoy, and let everyone know, if anyone makes the guests in the front hall unhappy, I will peel him off!"

"Sir, if Your Majesty really sent the prince to Xichuan alongside each other, it shows his importance to this matter."
