Chapter 369: Down to the South of the River
"In that case, then I promise you that it is. When I arrive in Jiangnan, I will definitely bring you some silk jewelry back, I heard that the silk in Jiangnan can be called a colorful ......" The emperor hugged his eyes and told her about the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, and his eyes listened with relish.
After talking to the emperor here for a while, Yanyu went to see the children, the two children were fine, and Yanyu continued to accompany the emperor.
In a blink of an eye, early the next morning, the eyes were already packed, and the emperor reluctantly sent the eyes outside the city gate.
After watching their carriage go a long way, they returned to the hotel with the ministers.
"Your Majesty, shall we continue to move forward?" One of the head of the guards asked the emperor what he meant.
Now that the matter of the little prince and the little princess has been settled, it is time for them to leave this place.
The emperor nodded and agreed to his plan, and let him continue to move forward with a large army.
After a day and a night's drive, they came to another county seat.
The people near this county town have failed to harvest due to successive droughts, and they have encountered a hailstorm that is rare in a century, which has caused them to be stretched thin.
The emperor did not let the large army enter the city directly, but ordered all the horses to stop temporarily, and then called the captain of the guard who led the team to his side.
"I don't know what the emperor commands? Now that we have arrived in Baiyun City, I believe that the officials here will treat the emperor well, and Lord Zhao here was once a flower exploration given by the emperor himself......"
The guard had an indifferent smile on his face, and he wanted to remind the emperor.
As soon as he was reminded by this guard, the emperor remembered that ten years ago, he was a tanhua in the autograph circle, and it turned out to be Lord Zhao here.
"I have the impression that Zhao Da here is a martial artist, I appreciated his talent very much back then, and I wanted to reuse it, but it has been shelved for other reasons......" The emperor's memories came to mind.
At that time, he felt that this Lord Zhao would definitely be a good talent, and it was precisely because he chose the champion at that time that he became a tanhua.
At that time, it was a war, and I planned to transfer him to the capital to give him a heavy responsibility after the war was quelled, but who knew that he had forgotten it!
"Listen to my order, your large army will leave from the official road, wait at the next station, and by the way, send a few more guards with strong martial arts to accompany ......me," the emperor said with a simple order.
Obviously, he wanted the large army to leave from the official road, while the rest of them stayed in Baiyun City and inspected Baiyun City.
If you pass through Baiyun City, it will take a short time to reach the next stop. However, if you leave from the official road, it will take two days to reach the next stop.
Obviously, the emperor didn't want their large army to alarm the people in Baiyun City. I don't want to alarm the officials here, only in this way can we have a good understanding of the people's feelings.
Hearing the emperor's order, the chief of the guard did not dare to refuse. Arrangements were made quickly, and the three guards followed the emperor, and the emperor was followed by two ministers.
Then the emperor led them into Baiyun City, and found that the Baiyun City was depressed, and there was no one on the street at all.
Not only that, but there are also many open doors, and the tables inside are shabby and unshaped, covered with thick cobwebs......
The whole dilapidated scene here is not like the rumored prosperous Baiyun City, but like a decaying city.
"I came to Baiyun City once many years ago, and Baiyun City at that time was really a white cloud, which was quite consistent with its name. But now there is a black aura shrouded in this White Cloud City, which looks depressing and low, which really makes people feel sad...... "The emperor said with a long sigh.
For everything in this White Cloud City, he felt awkward in his heart.
"Your Majesty, as the so-called vicissitudes of life, there will be times of change no matter where you are. This Baiyun City was very rich before, but after years of natural and man-made disasters such as famines, it has long since declined. An official replied to the emperor's words, and there were some sighs when he mentioned the matter again.
The emperor sighed because of this.
At this time, several officers and soldiers were seen passing by on the street. Seeing the emperor and others coming, he stopped them directly.
The emperor was neither humble nor arrogant, without any waves, and thought that these people were coming to greet them.
Who knew that when these officers and soldiers came to them, they went directly to snatch the emperor's purse.
Seeing their actions, the guards around the emperor were not happy, and they pushed these officers and soldiers hard to prevent them from getting close to the emperor.
"What are you doing here? My master is also something that you minions dare to touch? One of the guards rebuked.
The officers and soldiers on the opposite side looked like people, but what they did was really the work of jackals, tigers and leopards.
Hearing his voice, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side laughed happily.
"Leave your money, of course, or don't want to leave today." The leader reprimanded sharply.
The emperor was extremely angry, he never thought that these people would dare to block the road and grab money.
They are outsiders, and when they come to their area of responsibility, this happens.
But the emperor didn't say anything, he laughed happily.
"Are you sick in the brain, we ask you for money, what are you laughing at? Since you are willing to give, then hurry up and give it, the provincial uncle is rough. I tell you, don't struggle, you have to listen to our lord when you come to us, this is the order of our lordship, get out of here without paying. ”
The tone of these people is extremely arrogant, and it is obvious that they can be so bold because they are covered by their master.
"How is it different from robbers and robbers that you dare to block the road in broad daylight? Is this what an official of the court should do? If I remember correctly, you adults should be protégés of the Son of Heaven. ”
For what he said, these officers and soldiers knew themselves, they had confidence on their faces, their hands clasped in front of their chests, and glanced at the emperor contemptuously, looking like they just thought that he was an ordinary old man, maybe some money.
"What you old man said is not bad at all, we adults are indeed protégés of the Son of Heaven, since we know it, why don't we hurry up and offer money, so that we adults can arrest you. Now that we are destitute here, as a wealthy merchant from other places, you should give your heart......"
Although he said it tactfully, the meaning could not be more obvious, that is, to make them give money.
"It's ridiculous, if you dare to block my way and ask for money, do you know my identity? If you know each other, get out of the way, Uncle Ben has no money for you, let alone such a precedent for you! ”
The emperor was displeased, and pushed one of the officers and soldiers hard, not wanting this officer and soldier to stop in front of him and block his way.
He is the Ninety-Five Supreme, although he is now dressed in disguise, he can't spoil his majesty.
