Chapter 041: Ningzhou is restless
In early summer, the official road is verdant on both sides, and the branches grow wildly, and everywhere is full of vitality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A small convoy walked on the official road, four spacious carriages of the same style, followed by more than thirty shrewd and fierce knights on the left and right.
Su Ke sat in the carriage, and the whole person was lazy. Koi lifted the curtain on one side and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are almost at the boundary of Ningzhou." ā
The little prince yawned, barely cheered up, sat up straight and looked outside a few times, nodded and said, "Tell me to go down and rush to the post station before dark." ā
Koi should be, since he went to explain to Zhang Qingbai, the partial general in front of the team.
Su Ke went down the mountain overnight that night and returned to the Ruijin camp station, and the two little girls Koi and Qingyao were extremely surprised. Although it has only been a month since the little prince went up the mountain, it is extremely long for them. Because since childhood, Su Ke has never left them for more than two days, and they miss them very much, but they don't dare to show it because of their identity. Su Ke didn't say anything on the surface, but he knew it very well in his heart, so he ignored his fatigue that night and 'taught' them a good lesson.
The next day, he asked Zhang Qingbai to pack up and lead a group of people to Ningzhou.
This time he didn't make a big fanfare, everyone was dressed in civilian clothes, and only some of them were brought with him. In addition to Qingyao and Koi, there were also three cultivators such as Lu Shusheng, and then Zhang Qingbai led the thirty Ruijin camp soldiers, and the others stayed in that wooden house.
Wuliang Mountain is located in the mountains between Youzhou and Ningzhou, and it will enter the boundary of Ningzhou after two days of walking south.
Ningzhou, known as Ninghua in ancient times, was still a capital hundreds of years ago, and it was extremely prosperous and accessible. Later, the world was divided, and this place was a battleground for soldiers, and it was affected by several wars, but surprisingly it was extremely resilient, and it did not take long after the war to prosper again. This is actually because of the special geographical location of Ningzhou, where the Tiancang River and the Weishui River cross like a cross, and the waterways of the east, west, north and south are connected, which can be called the central area of the world.
After the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms, Ningzhou was included in the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, and after ten years of recuperation, it gradually regained the style of the first city in the world.
Su Ke also heard when he was in Beijing that there were countless talents in Ningzhou's eleven counties. For example, the prime minister of the dynasty, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the imperial historian are all from Ningzhou, and it can be said that they have mastered half of the civil officials. In terms of cultivators, Ningzhou is not far behind, just Su Ke knows, there is Cheng Jingyun and another person from Ningzhou in the Heavenly Hall on Wuliang Mountain. There are four major families in Ningzhou, namely Chen, Kong, Qi and Mo, who control almost the resources and wealth of the entire Ningzhou.
The reason why the little prince knows so clearly is because his closest eldest sister is married to the Chen family in Ningzhou.
King Wu has a son and two daughters, and the eldest daughter Su Jinnian has a gentle temperament, is knowledgeable, and has a natural compassion, and is a very famous lady in Shangjing. There were countless powerful people who wanted to marry King Wu back then, but most of them knew that their family was fine, and they didn't have the courage to come to the door to ask for marriage. Rao is like this, there are still many wealthy families who want to marry this big county lord, such as the son of the prince of Weiguo, who has made outstanding achievements in war, and wants to be this fast son-in-law. Su Ke, who was only thirteen years old at the time, sat at the gate of the palace, followed by dozens of evil servants, and more than a dozen wolf dogs were tied to him, and the eldest son of Wei Guogong, who had plucked up the courage to come to the door, was directly driven ten streets.
At that time, the little prince who showed his true colors as a bully said that these guys who relied on the power of their fathers didn't want to enter the door of the palace, he would beat one and beat two pairs, if anyone didn't open their eyes and wanted to find some excitement, he promised that the other party would not be disappointed.
The reason why he is like this is because the eldest sister is the closest to him, especially in the palace, except for the eldest sister, no one can take care of him carefully, which can be described as the eldest sister like a mother.
But no one expected that the lord of the big county would finally choose to marry Ningzhou, which made many powerful children in Beijing beat their chests. Although the Chen family in Ningzhou is also a wealthy family, it is far away from the center after all, which is inevitably despised. What is even more unacceptable is that the husband of the big county lord is not the son of the Chen family, but a little-known concubine, which is incomprehensible. It is said that with her identity and talent, she must be a well-known young handsome person, who would have thought that she would marry an ordinary person who is not famous?
On the day of the wedding of the big princess, the saddest person in the whole palace was the little prince, although he did not cry bitterly, but he also hid in the treasure house of the palace like a fool, and he didn't even see the eldest sister when she got on the sedan chair.
Time flies, and the two siblings haven't seen each other for three years.
Entering the boundary of Ningzhou, Su Ke suddenly became a little nervous.
In fact, over the years, he has corresponded with his eldest sister, knowing that she is doing well in Ningzhou, and he does not blame him for being ignorant back then, but he still feels a little guilty in his heart. After all, when the eldest sister got married, he didn't come out to see her off, so she must have felt a little sad at that time. Now that he is getting older, Su Ke also understands some truths, everyone has their own right to pursue their own life, as long as the eldest sister likes it in her heart, then what is the difference between marrying an ordinary person and a genius?
So the closer he got to the capital city of Ningzhou, the more apprehensive he became.
But as he approached the town, the little prince found many scenes that were different from what he imagined.
Ningzhou is prosperous, and it stands to reason that the people should be very rich, but along the way, he found that many of the people he met on the road were ragged and like refugees.
What's going on?
What's even more exaggerated is that he actually saw a robbery of a people's daughter on the official road.
It was an elderly couple with their beautiful daughter, passing by a group of arrogant knights, led by a burly man in his twenties, and when he saw the girl, he went directly to ask the elderly couple if they would like to give her a concubine. After the old couple refused in panic, the man directly ordered his subordinates to take the girl away, completely ignoring the old couple's crying and pleading, and finally only left a few taels of broken silver.
The convoy of the royal palace passed by, and the knights turned a blind eye to this large convoy at all.
"Is this fucking even more domineering than me?" The little prince seems to have seen the new world, he is rampant and domineering in the capital, and most of the targets are all kinds of gentlemen, and he has never seen such an arrogant maniac.
"Boy, what are you looking at?" the burly man said in a vicious voice when he saw Su Ke standing on the carriage staring at him.
Su Ke waved his hand to signal the convoy to stop, and wondered, "What do I think you have to take care of?"
The burly man slowly urged the horse over, and said in a deep voice, "Which family are you?"
Su Ke rolled his eyes and said, "You want to take care of it?"
The burly man sneered: "The tone is quite hard, I don't even know me, presumably you are not a big boy." Get away from each other, lest the master be in a bad mood and chop you up for the current drink. ā
The little prince sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't want to be nosy, but you are so arrogant, I will take care of this matter." ā
