Chapter 130: Dongxuan City
Back to the side courtyard, he made some renovations, and carefully looked at the arrangement of the city lord's mansion, and time passed by without realizing it.
The lord's mansion in Wuxing City is more popular than Rong Bao City, and you can see servants in groups of three or three. However, from the arrangement of the main hall and the housing of the guests in this side courtyard, you can see that the lord Ye Guan is also a simple and conservative person.
Huang Yuchen knew nothing about Ye Guan, except for his special identity and severely injured in protecting his father, but from his appearance, he could not tell that he was a city lord, nor could he tell that this man was a master with high cultivation, but he looked like a poor scholar.
I met Xiao Yibo and Ye Guan these two days, but it left a deep impression on him. People should not behave like this, just like that.
The sun rose, and the sun shone on the earth. The hazy fog in the morning was shining by the sunlight and dissipated. Huang Yuchen looked at the sky and felt that the time was almost over, so he came out of the side courtyard and walked out of the city lord's mansion.
The two horses were tied to the horse stake at the door at this moment. Huang Yuchen took a few steps forward, gently stroked the horse's back, untied the reins, grabbed them in his hand, stood quietly aside, waiting for Huang Yuanwu to come back.
Soon, Huang Yuanwu came out of the main gate, his face was flushed and his face was smiling. It seemed that he was patrolling the martial arts field, and his progress was very good, which made him feel very good.
Huang Yuanwu walked to Huang Yuchen a few steps, took the reins of the horse he handed over, and said, "Let's go." Before Huang Yuchen could reply, he pulled the horse and walked towards the city gate.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen hurriedly followed behind, but Huang Yuanwu was very fast and had no intention of waiting for Huang Yuchen at all. He could only chase after him.
The two of them pulled the horses very quickly and passed through the city gate. When they arrived outside the city, Huang Yuanwu was about to turn over the horse, but Huang Yuchen took a few steps forward, grabbed the reins, and looked at Huang Yuanwu with confusion.
"What's the matter?" Huang Yuanwu looked puzzled, not knowing what Huang Yuchen was going to do. Huang Yuchen gave Huang Yuanwu a wink, but did not say anything, indicating that this was the city gate, or not to say it here, but said: "General, be careful, go all the way behind, don't be exhausted."
Huang Yuanwu smiled, nodded, and said, "I understand, get on the horse." After that, he turned over and followed the official road and left. Huang Yuchen got on the horse, followed the horse, and walked quickly.
He ran forward not too far, but had left the range of Wuxing City. Huang Yuanwu grabbed the reins and slowed down the horse's speed, waiting for Huang Yuchen behind him. Huang Yuchen rode his horse over and slowed down the speed. The two sat on the horse's back and walked forward slowly.
"What's the matter? You can't tell me at the city gate?" Huang Yuanwu glanced at Huang Yuchen, a little puzzled.
Huang Yuchen did not speak immediately, but instead reached out and held the two white jade bottles given to him by the butler of the city lord's mansion in his hand, gave them to Huang Yuanwu for a look, and then threw them over.
Seeing Huang Yuanwu take it, he said, "In the city lord's mansion, a 50-year-old man, like a housekeeper in the mansion, gave me these two bottles and asked me to hand them over to the city lord Ye, saying that it was a must-eat for City Lord Ye every day."
Huang Yuanwu looked at the two bottles in his hand and bought them coldly. He immediately knew that this was not an ordinary thing. After thinking for a while, he put the bottle in his arms and said, "I understand, I will hand it over to Senior Ye."
"I think it's a bit strange." Huang Yuchen said: "Why didn't this butler ask you to teach Lord Ye directly? Instead, he looked for a deputy general with a strange face like me. He wasn't afraid that I wouldn't help or leave this bottle? Just looking at this bottle is also valuable."
"Haha." Huang Yuanwu laughed, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said, "Senior Ye said you looked familiar with me when he saw you. These two bottles may be his props to test you."
"Test me?" Huang Yuchen was stunned, a little confused.
"Of course it's a test of you." Huang Yuanwu said softly: "It's not surprising that many deputy generals around me have different faces, but all those who can be my deputy generals are trained by Senior Ye. Although he may not know all of them, he is extremely familiar with the aura of the battlefield. You don't have this aura."
As he said that, Huang Yuanwu lightly knocked his horse's belly, and the horse was under force, and jogged forward. Huang Yuchen rode his horse to follow him, and then he heard Huang Yuanwu continue to say, "You look similar to me, and you are a stranger. Do you have the unique killing aura on the battlefield? Senior Ye will definitely be suspicious when he sees it. It will be understandable if he sends a housekeeper to try you."
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he didn't say anything, but his thoughts flew around. President Ye was meticulous and thought so much when he saw him. If he said so, wouldn't there be others who can see his clues when he followed his elder brother in the future?
"You don't have to worry too much." Huang Yuanwu continued: "Your life experience is not a secret in front of Senior Ye, so it's okay to let him know. Everyone around him is all the old subordinates of the father. Even if you know your identity, you won't go out to talk nonsense. You won't let you follow me all the time, and you won't have to worry about being recognized by the enemy."
As he said that, Huang Yuanwu patted the two bottles in his arms, smiled at Huang Yuchen, and said, "Senior Ye, try you and try me too." After that, without waiting for Huang Yuchen to react, he rode his horse and whipped it away.
Huang Yuchen hurriedly rode his horse to follow him, thinking carefully about what his elder brother said. Ye Guan's move would be a kill of two birds with one stone.
First, he can confirm his guess whether he was the youngest son of Dongwang who had died in the rumor. Second, he can also test whether the eldest brother was unreserved of him.
If he keeps these two bottles, it will prove that he is not from the royal palace. But Ye Guan has obviously seen the clues. If he does this, it means that the elder brother still has some reservations about him, and he will also have some concerns in his heart.
If he gave two bottles directly to Senior Ye, it would confirm what he was thinking and clarify the fact that he was the youngest son of the royal family, but he was unscheming, which would make Senior Ye worry.
In this way, the best way is to let the elder brother hand over the two bottles to Senior Ye directly, which confirms what he is thinking, and also shows that the elder brother has no reservations about him and further calms his heart.
After thinking about it carefully, Huang Yuchen sorted out the thoughts behind this simple matter. But when the eldest brother received the bottle, he immediately thought of so much and found the most suitable way to deal with it. Compared with the eldest brother, he was too far behind.
There were so many thoughts in my heart, but the two horses galloped all the way.
Nothing to say along the way.
After walking along the official road for a few hours, the two of them took a short rest in the middle and continued on their way. At sunset, they arrived at the area of Dongxuan City.
It is hundreds of miles away from the five cities of Wuxing and the distance to the vicinity of Dongxuan City. The vastness of the land under the rule of the Dong King can be seen, but compared with the entire Qitian Empire, the land under the rule of the Dong King is only one-fifty, and the wideness of the Qitian area is imaginable.
From the outside, Dongxuan City is not much different from Wuxing City, with towering walls and many flags.
When we got closer, we found that the number of people here was much higher than that in Wuxingcheng. This was also related to the fact that Dongxuan City was mainly responsible for food and grass. After leaving the Dongwang Mansion, all the fields I saw along the way were also responsible for Dongxuan City. The government signed a contract with the people to provide the people with oxen and various tools. During the autumn harvest, the grain produced by the land was divided into four or six, and the people took six. This also made Dongxuan City a large population, and the people lived and worked in peace and farmed for a living.
There are also fields near other cities, but if you want to sign a land contract, you need to communicate with Dongxuan City through the superior city lord's mansion before you can sign it. In order to save a lot of trouble, many people choose to move to Dongxuan City to settle down. This also makes Dongxuan City also have many natural villages outside the city, and they use official documents issued by the government to reclaim farmland.
As we walked over, we could see working farmers from time to time and countless fields on both sides of the road.
When the two arrived in front of Dongxuan City, they just got off the horse and laughed loudly. Huang Yuchen looked up and saw a middle-aged man coming towards him. He had a slender figure, well-proportioned muscles, a clear edge, a sword-browed eyebrows, tiger-eyed eyes, and a long gown. He was walking over with a smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze and very comfortable.
"Yuan Wu!" The man walked closer, stepped forward and hugged Huang Yuanwu, laughing.
"Brother Yu!" Huang Yuanwu was stunned at first, saw the person coming clearly, stepped forward to hug him, and laughed happily.
"Hahaha." The visitor let go of Huang Yuanwu, and also glanced at Huang Yuchen. His face suddenly changed, but disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Huang Yuanwu. Huang Yuanwu nodded slightly, without saying anything, and had a smile on his face.
"I'm so busy all the way, go home with my elder brother and have a meal." The man said, and went forward and pulled the reins in Huang Yuanwu's hand. Regardless of what the two of them did, he pulled Huang Yuanwu's arm and walked straight to the city.
Huang Yuchen was stunned for a moment, feeling that the man looked at him with a look of surprise, but I heard from my elder brother that Dongxuancheng was the only one who knew his life experience, so he was no longer surprised and pulled the horse into Dongxuan City.
As soon as I entered the city, I suddenly realized. The entire Dongxuancheng Street gave people a new feeling.
There are also shops on both sides of the main street and paved with bluestone. However, there are many trees on both sides of the road, built in flower beds, and flowers and plants are planted around them. As soon as you enter the city, you can smell a fragrance, which makes you feel so comfortable.
In front, Huang Yuanwu and Yu Sheng were talking and laughing, and went straight forward. Huang Yuchen followed behind with his horse, watching from both sides, without feeling bored.
The streets were full of traffic. Although it was dusk, there were still many people, bustling and bustling. Although they were not as crowded as the crowds in Rongbao City, they were also crowded. Fortunately, the streets were very wide and there were many people, but they did not feel crowded.
After walking not far, facing Dongxuan City Lord's Mansion, facing the city gate.
After visiting three cities, the lord's mansion in each city leads to the city gate opposite the main street, which must have been deliberately done during the construction.
Several people walked to the city lord's mansion, and someone immediately came up to meet him, took the reins of the horse in Yu Sheng's hand. The man walked towards Huang Yuchen, smiled at him, and said, "Little brother, leave the horse to me."
Huang Yuchen nodded when he heard this, handed the reins of the horse in his hand to the man, followed the steps of the two people in front and entered the city lord's mansion.
The layout of the city lord's mansion is almost exactly the same as the two I saw before, and there is no big difference. However, the city lord's mansion in Dongxuan City is full of flowers and plants, with a fragrant fragrance, making people feel refreshed.
Moreover, there were obviously many servants in the lord's mansion in Dongxuan City than the previous two places. As soon as I entered the door, I saw several people kneeling on one knee and asking the little prince.
Huang Yuanwu and Yu Sheng did not stop, but waved their hands slightly, and the servants dispersed to work. The two went straight into the main hall, and Huang Yuchen followed behind and entered the main hall.
The two of them took a seat with the guest and host. This time, the eldest brother Huang Yuanwu was sitting in the main seat. Yu Sheng naturally sat in the side seat. Huang Yuchen stood behind the eldest brother, and obviously felt that Huang Yuanwu was in a good mood. He swept away the haze in his heart before and talked and laughed with Yu Sheng.
