Chapter 114 Prestige

Qingyan naturally knew what the so-called "duck" was, but he didn't expect that Zhao Jing would ask Shi Zhan to pass the message. Could it be that he could forget who was in Lingnan?

"Your Highness, my father likes to eat ducks and geese. If the ducks in Lingnan are really so delicious that they can make His Royal Highness the King of Wu covet so much, I will definitely bring back a few filial piety to my father." Shi Zhan said very unreliable words with a serious look.

Qingyan had poked Zhao Jing into his heart ten thousand times, but he could only say perfunctorily: "Well, Shi Zhan, it's my first time to come to Lingnan. I don't know whether the ducks here are delicious. Why don't you ask around after you arrive at Zhennan Pass?"

"If it is really a delicious food in the world, I will never forget to bring a portion to Your Highness."

Looking up at the sky, Qingyan's expression was extremely helpless. He could not tell his subordinates that Zhao Jing arranged for this trip to the south for a girl. If he told him bluntly, even if Shi Zhan didn't think much about it, he would feel embarrassed.

"Let's put the ducks and so on first, take out the map."

Taking the map, Qingyan loosened the reins and observed it.

Yuzhou covers a very vast area. Except for the mountains in the southwest corner and the northwest corner, other places are intersecting mountains, hills, platforms and plains. At this time, he is located in the northwest of Yuzhou. He will reach the first county in the north of Yuzhou, Xiping County, fifty miles south.

"Tell the soldiers, and try to reach Xiping County before dark. Then you can have a good sleep and keep your flesh full!" Qingyan said again: "Now you send someone to take the token of the side-by-side royal palace to go to Xiping County first to arrange everything."

When the Sanqianqianliang Grain Army soldiers heard this news, they were delighted and thought to themselves that the young prince's actions were indeed extraordinary. In the past, it would be good to have enough food for both meals a day. They didn't dare to think about the meat, and they couldn't help but step a little faster, hoping to arrive in Xiping County earlier.

Two hours after the hour of Hai, a large pot of hundreds of mouths had been set up when the capital of Xiping County went west, and the fragrance was filled with the fragrance. The soldiers of the grain transporting government smelled the fragrance of meat from a distance, and they all tried hard to swallow their saliva.

"Shi Zhan has now entered the territory of the King of Lingnan, and safety should be guaranteed, so I decided to go to Zhennan Pass first, and the team will be handed over to your hands. Don't let me down." Qing Yan told Shi Zhan in the rear of the team.

"Your Highness! Even the grain transport army is still an army, how can there be no commander in the army? And you go to Zhennan Pass alone, and if you lose your job along the way, how can you be faced to return to Jinling?" Shi Zhan almost fell off his horse after hearing this.

Qingyan smiled and said, "If everything goes well, you can reach Zhennan Pass within ten days. It doesn't take long for me to have Mo Xue to help me. And I said just now that you will be the commander of the army after I leave, and you can treat this as a test."

"test?"

"Yes, when my father was in charge of the Qinhuai Legion, Bai Yi had never disappointed his father in full control of food and grass equipment. So I also hope that you can be as outstanding as Bai Yi in the future until you become more outstanding. Do you understand?"

Shi Zhan naturally knew the meaning of Qingyan's words, and then pulled his back straight and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness!"

Qing Yan sighed lightly: "The most important thing is that you sent someone to Zhennan Pass before and asked the King of Lingnan to deliver the battle report to me together, but we have not received any battle report for many days of marching. This incident made me feel a little uneasy. If you don't go to Zhennan Pass in advance, you will never let go."

"Does Your Highness need the brothers in the Tiger Guard Camp to guard the side?"

"It's okay, as the head coach of the army, it's inconvenient to have no one around you. Besides, don't you understand my skills?" After that, Qingyan left the team with a whip and galloped south.

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

The prefecture of Yuzhou is Nanpu County, located 200 miles east of Zhennan Pass. It is the most prosperous area in Yuzhou and even Lingnan.

When Qingyan led his horse into Guining County, Nanpu County, he did not feel the panic of the war, but the people instead had a vibrant and smiling face.

This made Qingyan amazed in his heart. The people either didn’t know that the southern city was going north, or the King of Lingnan had unparalleled prestige on this land, which could give the people strong confidence.

Sitting in the pergola outside a noodle restaurant, Qingyan said aloud: "Man! Come on a bowl of noodles!"

"Okay, please wait!" In a cheerful tone, the guy poured Qingyan a bowl of tea and greeted his other guests.

When a bowl of noodles with a few large pieces of meat was served, Qingyan asked curiously: "Man, what kind of noodles is this? It smells good."

"You can tell that the accent of the guest came from the north. It's understandable that you don't know. Our store's signature has been in Guining for more than a hundred years, and the famous one belongs to this gold fixed face." The guy looked proud.

"Oh? That's a time-honored brand. I didn't expect that I would encounter such delicious food as soon as I entered the city."

When the guy saw this young foreigner being so well-informed, he couldn't help but speak a little more. "You may not know what the Jinding in the Jinding face means, right? The little one is not going around. This Jinding is the name of a duck unique to our Guining County. The small one has the guarantee that apart from Guining County, even if you search for the Jinding duck all over the world, you can't find it."

Qingyan was putting the meat in his face into his mouth. When he heard the guy's words, he almost spit out the meat. After drinking a tea to cover it up, he couldn't help but ask: "Is the ducks in Yuzhou really the best in the world?"

"This is naturally. Some people once wanted to take the Jinding duck to raise it elsewhere, but this duck only recognizes the soil and soil of Guining, and will lose weight in a few days when you get there."

Looking at the noodles in the bowl with laughter and cry, Qingyan changed the topic and said, "By the way, I heard that Nanyi is interested in going north. Is this happening?"

The guy replied indifferently: "Yes, it seems that it happened more than 20 days ago, right? I can't remember it very clearly."

"It doesn't matter when it is. What's important is that since I came down to the city, I found that there was no fear on the people's faces, and the street was very lively. Are you not afraid of Nanyi monkeys calling me?"

"The guest official is not old when he sees it, so his knowledge may be a little short of it." The guy laughed, "But I guess the guest official has heard of the great name of the King of Lingnan, right?"

Qingyan nodded and said, "Of course I have heard that the country of Southern Zhao has lasted for nearly a hundred years. There are two men who are like the sky, standing side by side with the King of Lingnan."

"The people in the north say the same thing, but the prince who stood side by side is too far away from us and has disappeared for many years. So when I started to become sensible, I admired the Prince of Lingnan who protected this land the most."

"My man means that the people are not afraid of Nanyi monkeys at all, is it because of the Prince of Lingnan?"

Seeing that there was no guest visit, the guy pulled out his chair and sat beside Qingyan, and said vividly: "Of course it's because of the Prince of Lingnan. Although we are in remote location, since the Prince guarded Lingnan, I heard that an enemy crossed Zhennan Pass and Yao Pass?"

"No."

"That's all. The prince was from our Guining County. No one has been an official in ten generations. But why did the prince become the first king of a different surname in Nan Zhao at his thirties?"

"I think it's because of the prince's ability." Qing Yan smiled and agreed.

The more the guy chatted with the young man in front of him, the more he felt that the other party was the cutest guest he had met in his life. "I took back what he said just now. You may not have heard of many princes' deeds, but your knowledge is really good." Then he looked back and shouted, "Dad! Add a plate of real meat to this guest!"

"Okay!"

An old voice came from the room.

"In love, you are not the shop's client, you are the young owner." Qingyan was very surprised.

"What kind of young boss is all a false reputation. You might as well call the little guy to hear it comfortably." He took the duck down and put it on the table. The guy started talking again: "I just talked about the prince's ability. In the eyes of the little guy, it is more than just a capable person, he is simply a god-like figure. Do you know the prince's battle to become famous?"

Qing Yan thought in his heart, remembered Bai Yi's previous words, and replied: "But twenty-five years ago, he personally led his army out of Zhennanguan to capture the brother of King Nanyi?"

"That's right! The prince was just a small side general back then. Before he reached Zhennan Pass, the prince led his subordinates to ambush the mountain in the forbidden mountain, defeated the Nanyi monkey in one fell swoop, and captured the enemy commander, the younger brother of the Nanyi king at that time." When he said this, the guy's eyes were lit up with excitement.

"In other words, the prince became the first king of different surnames in Nan Zhao with this military merit, right?" Qing Yan sighed: "It seems that the people of Lingnan really love and trust the prince of Lingnan."

"That's right, don't worry about how many monkeys come to Nanyi, keep them back and forth, and if you want to be young, you don't need the prince to take action personally. With the prince's help, they can beat them to pieces."

Qingyan tried hard to hold back his smile and asked, "Is the prince of Lingnan?"

"Our prince has only one son besides Princess Nishang. If it is not this prince, he is still the prince who is shoulder to shoulder?"

"This is natural, this is natural." Qing Yan wiped his forehead and sweated coldly and asked, "Boy, haven't you said what kind of ability this prince has? How about the prince?"

"Of course, it's not comparable to the prince, but it's much better than the many generals in Nan Zhao." The guy sighed: "The prince entered the border army and started to train as a soldier in the 16th year. This is well known to people in Lingnan. Later, the prince was really a tiger father without a dog son, and he made a fortune in the border army."

Qing Yan didn't expect that Dong Yan would have such prestige among the people of Lingnan in the past, and he was really happy for him, "Maybe the prince really became famous like a prince this time."

At this time, Qingyan's face appeared with a warm smile and asked, "My man, since you have told me about the prince and the prince, why not talk about Princess Nishang together?"

"Princess Nishang? I have nothing to say, I can only say one sentence."

"What's the matter?"

"The princess is a fairy in the sky, not something that a small mortal can argue with."

Qingyan said in surprise: "Ah? Zhao'er... Why has Princess become a fairy in the sky? Guy, tell me carefully."

Seeing Qingyan insisting, the guy said with a look of longing: "The princess is the most beautiful woman in our Lingnan area, but she is also pure and kind-hearted. Whenever there is a natural disaster, she will always be the first to stand up to help us people. I don't know how many lives I saved in these years. If the famine two years ago was not the porridge farm set up by the princess, the small family would have long become a lonely ghost."

The beautiful figure flashed in Qingyan's eyes, and he couldn't help asking: "But I heard that Princess Nishang's temper seemed a little... impatient."

With a 'bang', the guy slapped the table and roared: "Who! Official, please tell this person's name! I will hold my knife and chop this bastard!"
