The Southwest Palace's mansion has been cleaned up, Gong Jiu led people to greet him at the city gate with a cold face, and when he saw Hua Yude and Xu Qirong's carriage, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh, but he was used to being cold, and he didn't know how to laugh for a while, and his expression looked very distorted.

Xu Qirong pursed his lips and smiled at Hua Yude in a low voice: "Gong Jiu is like this, I don't know how much money I think he owes him!" ”

Hua Yude smiled: "He is happy...... For so many years, I haven't seen him happy like this. ”

Xu Qirong was surprised when he heard this, and was about to ask again, but Gong Jiu had already led someone forward to salute.

It stands to reason that when the king of the southwest and the princess of the southwest go to Fuzhou City, the county order and other officials should lead the crowd to welcome them. But before the slaughter of this area of Fuzhou, the people were all captured by Chen Guang, the son of Shu, from Jingzhou and other places, and the officials who managed it were also assigned by Chen Guang. Later, Chen Guang was captured, and those who followed him naturally suffered crimes. Now that the new emperor has just sacrificed to the heavens and enjoyed the worship of all the people, even if he has the heart, the magistrate of Fuzhou City has not arranged it so quickly.

Therefore, the southwest area is now very chaotic, there are no farmers in the fields, no merchants in the streets, and no books in the households. The people all wanted to return to their hometown, and when they heard that the new emperor had appointed the king of the southwest to come, there were people who hid in the shadows and peeked, but none of them came forward to salute.

Xu Qirong touched his lower abdomen, thinking about the scene when he first came to Fuzhou City, his eyes were very compassionate, no wonder his husband was in such a hurry to come to Fuzhou City, if he didn't take measures earlier, he was afraid that the southwest area would become a city where no one died.

Hua Yude squeezed Xu Qirong's hand, then got up and got out of the carriage. turned over and got on the horse, and suddenly said loudly: "Hua Yude, the king of the southwest, is here!" ”

There was silence everywhere, and Xu Qirong bit his lip. Then I heard Hua Yude say again: "The Holy Lord has sealed the southwest king Hua Yude and Mrs. Ronghua here!" ”

Xu Qirong thought about it, lifted the curtain, and was supported by Yu Dong to stand on the wheel of the carriage!

In the end, the people who have worshiped the king for decades, even though they have suffered from displacement and are so shocked by Hua Yude, most of them still walked out of their hiding places and knelt on the ground to salute. The jagged chant: "Welcome to the king of the southwest, welcome the princess!" "See the King of the Southwest, see Lady Ronghua!"

Hua Yude nodded. smiled and said, "After lunch, the heads of each family went to the county government to wait and discuss the future survival plan." I hope you will not be absent. There was a pause. And he said, "Please tell each other!" ”

After finishing speaking, he motioned to Yu Dong to help Xu Qirong into the carriage, and then took everyone back to the house.

Almost all of these people were captured by Chen Guang from Jingzhou and other places, mixed with a few surviving people in Fuzhou City.

As soon as Hua Yude and his party left, everyone began to talk.

"I heard that this king of the southwest is a king with a different surname, and he looks quite majestic, I don't know if everyone will succeed when they join forces to coerce and distribute the road guide!"

As soon as Chen Guang was defeated, everyone wanted to leave here and return to their homeland. It's a pity that everyone has already entered the household registration here, and Chen Jinling sent someone to get the household registration first. There is no road guide, so he left Fuzhou City, and he is considered a homeless. Everyone is from a good background, so naturally they don't dare to make such a decision casually.

I heard that the Holy Lord sent the king of the southwest to come, everyone has been waiting for a long time, and when the time comes, the people's grievances are deep, so he can't help but not issue road guides!

Another said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to get along, I think he has an extraordinary bearing, since he asked us to go to the county office, there is no way to solve this dilemma." ”

As soon as these words came out, a bearded man beside him stopped doing it first and slapped him: "Du Laosan, are you afraid!" ”

Another scholar-like Sven said: "The law does not blame the public, when the time comes, we will all be united and we will always get what we want!" ”

Gao Bo, who had left the convoy early and was hiding in the shadows, frowned when he heard this, turned around and was about to chase in the direction of the carriage, but heard a woman say: "The king of the southwest and his wife seem to have been to Fuzhou City before." I couldn't help but pause.

A few people around really asked, and Gao Bo pricked up his ears and waited to hear what she had to say.

Then I heard the woman: "A few years ago, there was a family surnamed Xu who was exiled to Fuzhou City, but it was the second room that was murdered for money, and the case was broken in the hands of a handsome young man. ”

"What about the wife of the king of the southwest?" Someone continued to ask.

The woman smiled and said: "That Mrs. Ronghua is like the young lady of the Xu family, but she is a kind-hearted person, giving porridge to the poor, giving clothes to the lonely and widowed elderly, she is her family, she repairs the roof for everyone when there is nothing to do, carries water and chops wood, and everyone calls her a bodhisattva in private!" ”

"Really?" Some people don't believe it.

As soon as these words came out, there were really two people who stood up to testify, but those two had never seen the faces of Hua Yude and Xu Qirong, and they were not sure that the two of them were the King of the Southwest and Mrs. Ronghua.

The bearded man from before couldn't help frowning: "If it's really such a good person, we shouldn't push them too much." ”

The scholar also frowned: "If we force him to give us a guide, I'm afraid that he, the king of the southwest, will not only fail to do it, but will also be questioned by the saint." ”

When everyone heard this, they were silent for a moment, but they were eager to return home, and immediately someone said loudly: "It's hard to protect yourself, what do you care about them?" Aren't we innocent if we were kidnapped and driven away from our homeland for some reason? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed, and the bearded man and the scholar shook their heads, but did not say anything more.

Gao Bo took a deep look at the bearded man and the scholar, wrote down their appearances, and then turned and hurried in the direction of the palace. He has been in Fuzhou City for a few years, and if he knows the address of the palace, he can naturally find a place.

When he arrived at the palace, all the people in the palace came out to greet him, Hua Yude waved his hand, let everyone go down, led Xu Qirong to the main room, and asked, "Is there any discomfort?" ”

Xu Qirong shook his head. Hua Yude said: "I asked people to fetch water, you wash up, let's sleep first, and call you at lunch." He still remembered that Xu Qirong was sleepy, because it was close to Fuzhou City, Xu Qirong couldn't bear to sleep, and yawned several times in the carriage.

Xu Qirong shook his head: "It's okay, I finally went back to the house, what does the housewife look like when she sleeps by herself!" Then he was a little worried, "You went to the county government in person after lunch?" ”

Hua Yude nodded: "I can't accompany you." ”

Xu Qirong couldn't help but laugh and said: "You have your business, and I naturally have my business." You're leaving, and I'm just setting certain rules for the house. There are no rules, you can't worry about things outside, and you have to be worried about things at home! (To be continued.) )
