Because there was no need to hurry up, and no one dared to come over to disturb, Shen Ninghua and his party were extremely leisurely along the way. If it weren't for the fact that the two children were too young to take out for a tour, they didn't know how long it would take them to reach their destination.

They walked leisurely for most of the month, but the impact on Kyoto continued to ferment.

Because of the great doubts about the officials, coupled with the convenience that Baili Junyi secretly arranged for the shadow guards and the dragon scale army, the raid on the mansions of those officials went exceptionally smoothly, and the harvest was beyond imagination.

The things that were seized from the officials' mansions were pulled into the palace by horse-drawn carriage for a whole day. The three princes and others, who were thinking about how to fill the treasury, were very happy to see this money, thinking that as long as they put this money into the treasury, then how could they fill more than half, so that their pressure would be reduced a lot.

But Baili Qingcang made up his mind to teach them a lesson, how could they easily fool the past. After checking, all the confiscated property was put into his own private treasury, and the huge problem of treasury deficit was directly placed in front of the third prince and others.

In order to fill the treasury and prevent Baili Qingcang from continuing to pursue it, they took out all the money they had accumulated over the years, but this was far from enough, and in the end they could only turn to the mother clan behind them for help.

There is no mother clan behind the six princes, and he has collected the least money, his wife Zhao Ruyun was so shocked that she vomited blood and fainted after learning that the Zhao family's rebellion was destroyed, and she is still half dead, and she can't count on it at all, because she really can't come up with that much money, and finally almost sold the things that Baili Qingcang had rewarded before.

And the Lin family behind the third prince and the fourth prince has almost hollowed out the entire family. Coupled with the mothers of the two, Concubine Li naturally couldn't watch her two sons being questioned, so she borrowed money everywhere in her own name, but the matter was related to the three princes and the treasury, and no one dared to have anything to do with the three princes and others at this time.

In the end, the Lin family sold all the ancestral property, so that they could raise enough silver taels, so that the third prince and the fourth prince escaped a catastrophe, and the Lin family dismissed many subordinates for this, and the huge family was almost cut into an empty shell.

If it weren't for the strength of the Dragon Scale Army and the Shadow Guard, the Three Princes and the others were almost forced to rebel, and in the end, the treasury was full, and almost all of their mansions were sold out except for the beds.

After this incident, most of the forces in the DPRK and Central China suffered a huge blow, and several princes also put away their minds and did not dare to act at will, for fear of being caught by Baili Qingcang again. Besides, they just want to act, and they don't have money to support them.

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi received the news from Kyoto, looked at each other and smiled for a long time, this can be regarded as a gift from them to their father, I believe that after this incident, those officials will definitely be honest and will not make any mistakes in a short time.

By the time this deterrent weakened and their minds began to move again, they would almost be able to return to Beijing.

After about ten days, Shen Ninghua and the others finally came to Zhou City.

Zhoucheng is the richest city in the northwest, this place stretches with mountains in the north and endless grasslands in the west, which can be said to be an important strategic city for communication between Da'an and Dayue. As a result, this place is also extremely wealthy, and even the folk customs are more open than in Kyoto.

On the streets, you can see Hu and Dayue people dressed very differently from Da'anguo.

Before the Baili Junyi frame arrived in Zhoucheng, the prefect and others had already stood outside the city and waited, followed by the prefects of the twelve counties, all dressed in official uniforms.

Ye Yi, who went to explore the way, rode back on horseback: "The prince of Huiyu County, the princess of Huiyu, in front of Zhou Cheng is Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Da, the prefect of Zhou City, is already waiting at the gate of the city." ”

"Well, let's go into town."

The prefect Zhou Da stood at the door dignifiedly, with a smile on his face all the time, without the slightest anxiety, and he couldn't see that he had been waiting for almost an hour at all.

The county commanders of the twelve counties behind him did not dare to complain, and when they saw a team of about a thousand people coming, their hearts were pounding.

The rows of fluttering flags, the tall and strong horses, and the heavily armed guards in armor all pulled out at random were all they couldn't afford to provoke.

"Zhou Da, the prefect of Zhoucheng, asks to see the king of Yijun and the princess of the county."

Zhou Da's voice fell, and the guards methodically spread out to the sides, revealing the carriage in the center of the team. Zhou Da raised his eyes and swept over, and when he saw the material of the carriage and the four horses in front of him, he couldn't help but admire in his heart, if he really deserves to be the king of Yijun, the cost of this carriage is estimated to be worth his three years.

Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage opened, and Baili Junyi, who was dressed in regular clothes, jumped out of the carriage.

He was dressed in a dark pattern brocade long-distance run, setting off his figure more and more slender and handsome, with a slightly light-colored auspicious cloud pattern belt around his waist, a dragon-patterned jade pendant on the left, and an orchid purse on the right.

After he stood firm, he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Da: "You are Zhou Cheng's parent official, Zhou Da?" ”

"Yes, it's Xia Guan, see King Yijun." He raised his eyes slightly, and only then did he see Baili Junyi's appearance.

His eyebrows are cold, his eyes are like stars, the jade crown ties up all his hair, making his eyes more and more deep and cold, his thin lips are slightly pursed, Qiongzhi Yushu, handsome and unparalleled, and his body bearing is even more graceful and noble, making people dare not look directly.

Zhou Da put away the shock in his heart, and only felt that the person in front of him was really like a god.

Baili Junyi just nodded slightly, and when the guards put the small stool away, he turned around and walked to the side of the carriage, and said softly: "Ning Hua, get out of the car and take a look." ”

"Hmm." A soft voice came, clearly just one word, but it made people feel trembling in their hearts, and they couldn't help but want to listen carefully.

Zhou Da couldn't help but swallow his saliva, I heard that Princess Yijun is a fairy-like figure, known as the first beauty in Da'an, I don't know if it's a waste of fame?

A jade carving-like hand stretched out, the slender fingers were white and jade, and the pink nails were like petals, holding Baili Junyi's outstretched hand and slowly getting up and walking down.

Seeing Shen Ninghua's appearance clearly, the surrounding officials were stunned, looking at Shen Ninghua's direction stupidly, as if they were stupid, there was only one word left in their hearts, beauty!

Before they met Shen Ninghua, they also imagined what this first beauty in Da'an should look like, and they secretly imagined it in private, but when they saw the real person, they realized how lacking their imagination was.

She was dressed in a water-red begonia skirt, with a honey-colored smoky embroidered rhombus top, her face was not powdered, and her hair was only coiled up with a jasper carved hairpin, with a simple flower hairpin, but such a simple outfit still made her show a gorgeous and noble atmosphere.

When she got off the carriage, a breeze came out, blowing the ink-like hair behind her, she raised her jade-colored fingertips and gently pulled the hair behind her ears, a simple action, but it made people think of a sentence in "Luo Shen Fu" for no reason:

The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind.

Such a beauty who subtracts one point is too little, and adds one point is too much, it is really impossible to think of a more appropriate language to describe it.

Baili Junyi's cold eyes swept over the stunned officials on the side, and a sneer rose at the corner of his lips.

Zhou Da shuddered, and suddenly came back to his senses: "Xiaguan see the princess of the county." ”

The others were awakened by his voice and hurriedly followed.

Shen Ninghua glanced at the officials around him, and didn't pay much attention to it, but his eyes fell on the trees not far from both sides of the city gate, his eyebrows tightened slightly, the leaves of the tree were sparse, and the bark was not much left, and the body of the tree was mottled with a bleak smell.

Baili Junyi retracted his gaze: "We have just arrived, and we have to bother Governor Zhou to help arrange a house, and we will live for a while." ”

"Yes, yes, the prince of Huiyu County has already been arranged, you can follow the lower officials."

The formation of the team entering the city was extremely grand, but there were no people around to watch, not even peeking, the whole Zhou City was like a dead city, and the silence revealed a bit of a strange taste.

Zhou Da's face was full of smiles, as if he saw Shen Ninghua's doubts, and explained: "The princess is unexpected, why are there no people around? ”

"Well, indeed." Shen Ninghua replied lightly.

"The county prince and princess are noble, and the lower officials are afraid that the people around them have not seen the world, so they collided with the prince and the princess, not to mention, you also brought the young little Beizi and the little county lord, in case they were shocked, the lower officials would be even more difficult to redeem, so the streets were quiet two days in advance."

Zhou Da said it was a matter of course, but Shen Ninghua couldn't help frowning when he heard it, Jing Street two days in advance, even if the emperor travels, it's almost like this, these officials really dare. In this way, the people of Zhou City still don't know what to think of them!

Baili Junyi glanced at Zhou Da, secretly thinking in his heart, I don't know if this Zhou Da did it deliberately or unintentionally, now they are new to it, or settle down first, Kyoto is not afraid, and is still worried about a small Zhou City?

After walking not far, a large mansion was revealed, with a plaque above the new gate, and two extraordinarily large stone lions standing on both sides of the gate.

"Lord, princess, this is the house prepared by the lower officials in advance, the things in it are all up-to-date, and the garden has also been carefully repaired by craftsmen from Kyoto, if you two are not satisfied with anything, please tell the lower officials, and the lower officials will immediately send someone to change it."

Baili Junyi nodded slightly, and walked into the gate with Shen Ninghua and the others, the scenery in the garden was elegant, and he was extremely attentive at a glance: "Yes, Lord Zhou has worked hard." ”

"Where, where." Zhou Da said modest words in his mouth, but his face was full of smiles, "It is the honor of the prince and the princess to live habitually." ”

Baili Junyi smiled slightly: "I'm afraid it will take a lot of money to repair such a garden, right?" ”

"It didn't cost much, this garden was originally owned by the Zhou family, a well-known benevolent family in Zhou City, and I heard that the two of you were coming over, so I took the initiative to let the yard out, and the cost of repairing the yard was also provided by the Zhou family."

Shen Ninghua turned his head and asked slightly in his tone: "Zhou family? Could it be Lord Zhou's family? ”
