Chapter 210: Entering the Palace

Wu Shi and Yang Sanniang came to Juxian County, the first thing they saw was the invisible cement road, the husband and wife were a little curious, the two of them had been in the mountains for a year, and when they saw the cement road, they couldn't help but feel a little novel.

On both sides of the cement road, there are lonely and widowed old people in Juxian County, some are chatting with old friends, and some are cleaning up the yard in the yard, Lao Zeng is a member of the yard, seeing the door of the house, there is a pair of small couples looking at the cement road curiously, knowing that this should be a person from other places, the first time to see the cement road.

Lao Zeng smiled and asked, "Are you two from other places?" When Wu Shi heard the voice, he looked back and saw an old man in the courtyard looking at the two of them, and replied with a smile: "Exactly, the two of us are from Hangzhou, and we came here to visit relatives, passing by Guibaodi."

Lao Zeng nodded, said no wonder in his heart, and asked with a smile: "This is the first time you have seen this cement road?" ”

"Concrete road?" Wu Shi didn't understand a little, Lao Zeng nodded with a smile, stretched out his finger and pointed: "This is the road under your feet now." Wu Shi nodded when he heard this: "Exactly, dare to ask the old man, how did this road be built?" It's neat! ”

Lao Zeng laughed when he heard this: "This is my lord who paid for the people to repair it, except for my lord, who can be so kind-hearted?" In the famine year, he also paid for food and roads with his own money! Thanks to my lord, none of us in Juxian County starved to death last year! This kind of major event must be recorded in the county annals! ”

As soon as Lao Zeng mentioned Su Bai, he instantly became a chatter, chattering to Wu Shi and the others about how good the lord was, how much he loved the people like a son, and what great things he had done for the people!

Wu Shi and Yang Sanniang looked at each other, and said in their hearts, this is not a trust, can it be so coincidental, the first person I met in Juxian County praised that Wang Ugly Cow like this, could it be that this is acting? After thinking about it, Wu Shi and the others still planned to ask more about others and inquire more.

The two said goodbye to Lao Zeng, and all the streets in Juxian County are now cement roads, so that the two who saw the cement for the first time felt very novel, and soon the two met a beggar who was begging for food, Wu Shi took out two copper plates in his arms and threw them into the beggar's worn-out bowl.

The beggar thanked him again and again, grabbed the copper plate and stuffed it into his arms, Wu Shi squatted down with a smile, and said with a smile on the face to face with the beggar: "Little brother, my wife and I are relatives from other places, and it is the first time I have seen this cement road. I'll go back and talk to the villagers."

When the beggar heard that he was asking Su Bai, he said proudly: "Then you really asked the right person!" Let me tell you, I've been begging for food for so many years, and I've never met such a good official! When Wu Shi heard this, why did he praise Su Bai again? Could it be that this is the reincarnation of a bodhisattva?

The beggar continued: "Let's not say anything else, this is very good in Juxian County, as long as you work, then you will never starve to death!" Last year, there was a locust plague and there was no food in the field, what should I do? How can the people live? In the end, it was Lord Wang who found a way to live for everyone! Road! It has been repaired to Chang'an, although it is still a little bit worse, but as long as the spring is open and warm, it will definitely be repaired to Chang'an! ”

After speaking, the beggar said with emotion: "Build a road!" Where does the money come from? That's all the money that the prince paid out of his own pocket! Is it necessary to build roads? Everyone knows that this is an excuse made by Lord Wang, for fear that directly giving money will hurt the self-esteem of the people, Lord Wang is a good official! ”

Yang Sanniang's brows furrowed when she heard this, and asked, "Is there still such a person in this world?" Could it be that he is a saint? ”

Listening to Yang Sanniang's questioning tone, the beggar was a little reluctant, and stretched out his hand in his arms to stuff the two coins that Master Wu had rewarded him with just now into Master Wu's hand and said, "This gentleman, I appreciate your kindness, but even if I starve to death, I won't eat the steamed buns given by people who are disrespectful to the lord!" ”

After saying that, the beggar limped and walked to the alley in the distance, Wu Shi stared at the two copper coins in his hand and was stunned, what kind of person can make the beggar defend him like this? Yang Sanniang was also stunned, it was the first time she had seen such a bold beggar.

The two continued to walk forward, and when they saw someone, they inquired about Su Bai's news.

The eldest lady who was cooking said, "Lord Wang? That is the Wenqu star in the sky, specially to save our people! Now our county is a rich county, how many young ladies from other places want to marry over! ”

The owner of the tailor shop said: "Lord Wang is a man of promises, as long as he says it, then he will definitely be able to do it!" What I promised you, no matter what, I will help you achieve it! ”

The peasant who bragged in the corner said: "Lord Wang is a great good man, did you see Juxian College when you came?" There is no silver to go to school, my eldest and second children all go to school there, even if you can't get famous, it's good to know how to read, you don't have to be like me in the future, plant for a lifetime! ”

The naughty boy on the street corner said, "Sir? I don't know, it must be a good person anyway! Since the lord came to our county, I have eaten more meat than in the previous two years combined! Now there is a flowing water banquet in Mantou Mountain, we eat it during the day, beggars they go to eat in the evening, and the rest can be taken away, anyway, the lord is a good person, a good person! ”

The best adjective a child can think of is a good person.

Suddenly, Wu Shi and Yang Sanniang became curious about Su Bai, and the two of them especially wanted to see what kind of person could make the people of the county say good things about him, could it be that there were really saints in this world?

The two decided to go to Mantou Mountain and see with their own eyes how sacred this ugly cow is! The two of them think that they have met countless people, and as long as they have met once, they can probably guess the temperament of this person.

Under the guidance of passers-by, the two came to Mantou Mountain, and saw that the foot of the mountain was full of people, and they sat at the table and ate and drank. Next to it is a makeshift stove, and the cooks are busy all the time.

Not far away, you can see a few white buildings, which seem to be sheds, and I don't know what they are used for. The husband and wife walked through the people and walked up the hill step by step, and when they reached the top of the mountain, a magnificent building appeared in front of them. They have walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, but they have never seen this kind of building, the appearance is solemn and atmospheric, the whole is made of stone, and the gray-black exterior wall also looks a little soft under the sun.

This style is not only something he has never seen, but no one in Datang has ever seen it, because Su Bai is built according to an ancient castle in the future world TV series. It's not that Su Bai likes foreign buildings or anything, but when he thinks of stone buildings, he can't help but think of that ancient castle.

The current palaces of the Tang Dynasty are mainly made of wood, Su Bai felt that the cost was too high, and the cost of later maintenance was not low, so he built this castle.

The two of them were about to walk forward, but they were stopped by the patrolling guards.

"Stop! Who are the two of you? ”

The guard shouted loudly and walked over, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, with the momentum of pulling out the knife if he didn't agree!

This can't be blamed on the guards' heart, it's really Yang Sanniang who wrapped herself too tightly, and she looks like a person with ulterior motives.

Wu Shi took a look, and quickly pretended to be humble and said: "Master Jun, forgive me, our husband and wife are here to visit relatives in Juxian County, and I want to visit after hearing about Lord Wang's deeds." When the guard heard this, his expression relaxed a little and said: "So that's the case, but it's unfortunate that you came, the lord has already ordered it this morning, and I don't see any visitors!" ”

Wu Shi chuckled: "Ah, that's the case, I'm sorry to trouble the military master, since we can't see the lord, then we will retire first", after saying that, Wu Shi pulled Yang Sanniang and wanted to go down the mountain. The guards on the side kept staring at them until they were halfway up the mountain, and then continued to patrol other places, and said, "Relax yourself!" ”

"Yes!"

Yang Sanniang, who had already walked to the mountainside, asked, "What?" It's gone? Wu Shi shook his head and said: "Let's go and see it at night, if it's really a worthy refuge, let's take refuge!" If it's a hypocrite, one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, let's kill him! ”

Yang Sanniang said with some disdain: "If it is really a Qing official who has no desires and no desires, what are you recruiting us Jianghu people for?" In my opinion, he must be a hypocrite! Wu Shi smiled and hugged Yang Sanniang without speaking, Yang Sanniang's childhood experience was too dark, which made her think about the worst plan before doing anything. When you meet people, you will think about them in the darkest place at the first time, and in general, you will not feel safe.

......

Because it was the middle of the month, even if it was dark, some things could still be seen clearly under the moonlight, which caused some trouble for Wu Shi and Yang Sanniang to infiltrate, especially this kind of house that was patrolled 24 hours a day. You must know that these guards are all members of the Cheng family, veterans on the battlefield. Maybe they are not the opponent of the two of them alone, but as long as they hold on for a while, and when the scale is formed, even if they come again, they will still die under the chaotic blade!

In the end, the two of them chose a weaker place to defend and successfully infiltrated the perimeter of the castle, and just as the two were about to enter the castle, a somewhat contemptuous laugh sounded in their ears.

"Hehehe, I don't know if the two of you came to my house late at night, but what advice do you have?" The two of them were taken aback, because the voice seemed to be ringing in their ears, but who could come within ten steps of themselves unconsciously?

No way! These three words appeared in the heads of the two at the same time! When they heard the sound, they reacted at the same time, and their bodies quickly rolled forward, trying to hide in front of them where there was cover and shadow. The two of them heard it clearly just now, and the laughter sounded behind them.
