Chapter 233: Arriving in Lanzhou
Lanzhou City is the richest place in Shenguo, one of the 27 major vassal states of the Great Qiandi Emperor, and the scenery of Lanzhou is really beautiful, especially the dead snow scene, which gathers merchants from the south to the north.
At this time, although it was already spring in March, Lanzhou was still covered with snow, and a large area of water surrounding the city of Lanzhou was all formed into thick ice, which was quite cold.
Standing on a high place and looking at the Lanzhou City in front of him, Lin Mo tightened the snow cloak on his body and shivered: "Worry, you grew up in Lanzhou at a young age, is there a time when the ice and snow in Lanzhou completely melt?"
"I've never seen it before!" The eldest grandson shook his head: "My husband doesn't know, the concubine has lived in Lanzhou for sixteen years, and since she was a child, Lanzhou has always been frozen, and the ice and snow have not melted all year round. ”
"I see!" Lin Mo nodded, tightened the snow cloak for Liu Ruoshui beside him, and said with concern: "Ruoshui, you are a southerner, can your body still stand it?" If you feel unwell, you have to tell the adults!"
"It's okay, my lord!" Liu Ruoshui turned around in place: "Ruoshui is very warm, and although Ruoshui has lived in the south since he was a child, he likes to watch the snow very much, and the land covered in silver is even more beautiful!"
"That's fine, so I'll be relieved!" Lin Mo slowly breathed a sigh of relief, since he entered the snow-covered Jiangzhou realm before, he was afraid that Liu Ruoshui would change to snow blindness, but now that she is fine, he is relieved!
Raising his head and glancing at the sky that was gradually darkening, the sun was about to sink in the west, Lin Mo said: "Let's go, I still have to advance to the city while it is dark, otherwise I will have to spend the night outside!"
After that, Lin Mo led the eldest grandson Yuyin and Liu Ruoshui into the carriage, and with Qiu Yun's soft drink, the carriage started slowly, and the group headed towards Lanzhou City that could already be seen again.
It is said that Wangshan ran a dead horse, and when Lin Mo and his party stayed under the tall and solid city wall of Lanzhou City, the sun was already sinking in the west, and the fire on the gatehouse was also lit up, but Lin Mo found that the city gate was not closed, and a large group of people were still standing in front of the gate.
Lifting the curtain and glancing at the group of people at the city gate, Lin Mo smiled at the eldest grandson Sorrow and said, "Let's go, Sorrow, go out, there is an old guy outside to greet us!"
The eldest grandson nodded lightly and followed behind Lin Mo.
Lifting the curtain, Lin Mo and the eldest grandson Liu Ruoshui stood in front of the car, and the group of people standing in front of the door, led by a man over fifty years old and dressed luxuriously, bowed down and saluted together.
"Situ Zhentian, the lord of the Shen State, leads the officials of the Shen State to greet the eldest princess of Roujia and greet Lord Shangqing!"
"Greetings to the eldest princess of Roujia, greetings to Lord Shangqing!" everyone behind Situ Zhentian shouted in unison.
That's right, the richly dressed man is the current lord of Shen State, Situ Zhentian, whose title is Uncle, and since this Lanzhou City is the richest and most prosperous place in Shen State, it is also the capital of Shen State.
"Lord Situ is exempt from courtesy, flat body. "The status of the eldest grandson is the most respectful, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to get up without courtesy, he is very dignified and decent, and there is no tension in Jiangzhou now.
"Thank you, Eldest Princess Roujia!" Situ Zhentian drank together.
smiled at the performance of the eldest grandson Youyin, and then Lin Mo and the eldest grandson Yuyin slowly walked out of the carriage, and Liu Ruoshui, who was still Lin Mo's personal maid, drove behind about two feet behind.
Holding the hand of the eldest grandson and walking in front of Situ Zhentian, Lin Mo bowed slightly to Situ Zhentian: "Uncle Shen, how long have you and I not seen each other, how good is your body now?" Situ Zhentian hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "Thanks to Sect Master Lin, you healed me two years ago, I have already gotten much better, and my body is also very tough, plus with your sect's helper, the people of Shen State live and work in peace and contentment, and I also have a lot of peace of mind." ”
"Shen Bo and Shen Guo are all fine, then I can rest assured!" Lin Mo smiled slightly, and asked again: "Oh, by the way, I guess Shen Bo has been waiting here for a long time, but this makes me feel sorry." ”
"Alas, Sect Master Lin, what are you talking about. Situ Zhentian's face was grateful: "Sect Master Lin, you have a great kindness to me to recreate the country, and I should wait here to greet you." ”
"In that case, then let us go in quickly. As he spoke, Lin Mo showed a full smile and touched his stomach: "Shen Bo, you see that my stomach is also hungry, and I am afraid that my stomach will protest if I don't have dinner again!"
"Hahaha-" Situ Zhentian also let out a hearty smile: "Okay, I have already ordered someone to set up a palace banquet for Sect Master Lin to wait for you, and invite Sect Master Lin to come with me!"
"Good, good. ”
After saying hello three times, Lin Mo made a gesture for Situ Zhentian to invite first, and the group led the way to the city, followed by a group of Shenguo officials from Wuyang, and in front of Situ Zhentian's personal guards to open the way.
Driving behind Lin Mo, the eldest grandson Youyin knew that her eldest princess Roujia was automatically ignored again, but her eldest grandson Youyin was willing, this so-called eldest princess of Roujia was not what she wanted at all.
Her eldest grandson Youyin simply followed Lin Mo's side, leaving the children belonging to the two of them for him, and now this wish is about to be fulfilled, and her eldest grandson Youyin doesn't need anything else.
After entering the city, Lin Mo and the eldest grandson Liu Ruoshui took the luxurious carriage prepared by Situ Zhentian in advance, and went straight to King Shen's palace in a year of envy and the discussion of the people along the street.
"Alas, do you know who is in the carriage behind the lord? Can we let the lord of the country personally lead a hundred officials to the city gate to greet and wait, isn't there some prince from the imperial capital, or the secretary of the imperial capital?"
"You don't know the one in the carriage, are you from our Shen country, the one in the carriage behind is one of the peak three sects of the Mo sect master, and he has a very good relationship with our country lord. ”
"Yes, this brother is right, and do you know? I have already heard other people's discussions, saying that the sect master is now inviting the emperor of our Daqian Empire to go down to Leshan, and the official worships the first-class Shangqing, and his status is extremely noble. ”
...... Listening to the discussion outside the car, and remembering the greetings between Lin Mo and Situ Zhentian outside the city gate, Liu Ruoshui's eyes rolled, and he immediately muttered in his heart.
After muttering for a while, Liu Ruoshui asked, "My lord, why do I always feel that you are very loved by the people of Shen Kingdom?
The eldest grandson also cast an inquiring glance like Lin Mo.
Lin Mo smiled faintly and said: "This is a long talk, I will talk about it briefly, I think about it, it was about two years ago, I tied the knot with Zhilan and traveled around the world not long after, the snow scene of Lanzhou City is the best in the world, we came here." ”
"After coming here, I met Shen Bo, who was seriously ill, and I cured him, but I was involved in the struggle for power within Shen State, so I helped Shen Bo stabilize the Shen State government. ”
"The struggle between the power factions is not small, and the sword soldiers are also moved, you know, once the sword soldiers are the people, I transferred some food from Baiyu to relieve them, the people, simple and honest, good to them, they naturally read my good, and this is almost the case. ”
After listening to Lin Mo's words, the eldest grandson and Liu Ruoshui even understood.
When the carriage traveled some distance under the enthusiastic cries of the people of Shen Kingdom, the eldest grandson seemed to think of something, and immediately asked with some concern: "Husband, shall we rest in the state guesthouse tonight?"
Lin Mo knew what the eldest grandson Youyin wanted to ask, so he held the eldest grandson Youyin in one hand and said softly: "Sorrow, husband knows what you are worried about, but now that it is dark, it is not suitable to go back to meet our father, we will rest in the National Soldier Pavilion tonight, and tomorrow we will change into new clothes and take the gate to go again." ”
The eldest grandson thought for a while, it is really not suitable to visit his father and mother now, and he thought of the road that he had done all day today, although he had been riding in the carriage, he was indeed a little tired, and he nodded to Lin Mo.
The mighty procession slowly marched towards King Shen's palace amid enthusiastic cheers, and just after the carriage of Lin Mo and the three of them passed through an intersection, a familiar figure led a group of people out of here.
That familiar figure was Zhao Suqing.
"Miss Suqing, Lord Shangqing is there, why don't you recognize each other, after recognizing, you can also go close to the Shen King's Palace and get the respect of the Lord of Shen and others!" Zheng Hanyun, who was originally Lu Xingliang's eleventh lady, said.
Zheng Hanyun is about twenty-three years old, and her appearance is decent, but she is tall and tall, and her posture is also extremely proud.
"Yes, plain girl. Wang Yueting, who was originally Lu Xingliang's thirteenth lady, also said, "You are now Lord Shangqing's woman, why do you stand in the crowd, why don't you stand with Lord Shangqing and accept everyone's respectful gaze?"
Wang Yuyi is about twenty-two years old, and his appearance is slightly better than Zheng Hanyun's, with a standard melon seed face, and his body is also tall, but compared with Zheng Hanyun's capital, his body capital is not as strong.
Glancing at Zheng Hanyun and Wang Yueting lightly, Zhao Suqing knew what the idea of these two women was, if she stood by Lin Mo's side, wouldn't she have a chance to seduce Lin Mo!
Although he understands Zheng Hanyun and Wang Yueting's thoughts thoroughly, Zhao Suqing can't say this now, after all, he came to take the task given by Lin Mo this time, and he still needs the help of these two women.
And Zheng Hanyun and Wang Yueting and other six daughters followed themselves and made handmaidens for themselves, Zhao Suqing also knew what they were thinking, and none of them were willing to follow her.
Pretending to think about it for a while, Zhao Suqing shook his head and said: "I still don't go, this time I came to Lanzhou City with the task assigned by the adult, and now the task has not been completed, I really can't go to see the adult." ”
"Is the plain girl going to see Lord Shangqing again after completing the task?" Zheng Hanyun asked with a puzzled look, but the tone of her voice was faster, and she seemed to be a little anxious.
Without breaking Zheng Hanyun's problem, Zhao Suqing nodded as she walked: "Yes, I have to complete the task to meet Lord Shangqing, and I hope Hanyun and Yueting will try their best to help me!"
"Don't worry, Miss Suqing!" Wang Yueting smiled happily: "Sister Hanyun and I will definitely do our best to help Miss Suqing complete the task assigned by Lord Shangqing, and let you go to reunite with Lord Shangqing." ”
Zheng Hanyun also said: "Yes, Miss Suqing, Sister Yueting and I will definitely do our best to help you, if you have any errands, you can tell me and Sister Yueting, we will definitely do it for Miss Suqing." ”
