Volume 1: The Expedition to the Quartet Chapter 61: Entering Beijing
Qi Yun heard this and felt empathy.
"Young Master, this pharmacy in Nanzhou City is deliberately targeting us and asking us sky-high prices!" he said indignantly.
"Don't worry, wait for me to go back. He said word by word.
In fact, he gave an order before leaving, even if he didn't go back, Shi Youshan and they would clean up those families in a month.
"You change into this clothes, take the money, quietly go back from the path, and get medicine for your mother in the city next to Nanzhou City, and then you live there and wait for my news. Ye Wu handed over a set of clothes, and took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and handed them to this person.
"Thank you, young master, I thank you for my mother!" the man was grateful, took the silver, thanked him again and again, and walked away briskly along the path.
"Alas......" Ye Wu looked at the man and sighed.
"When reporting casualties, count this person as well!" With that, he left, leaving Qi Yun alone.
"Can't see through, can't see through. Qi Yun shook his head, picked up the pen, and drew a horizontal bar on the third line of the roll call list in his hand. Inadvertently looking at the wall to the side, the secret numb feather arrow on the wall fell into his eyes.
"This is!" his gaze froze, and he saw that each of the feathered arrows had a dark golden pattern engraved on them.
"No way! it's not true......" He couldn't believe it, and after looking around to make sure no one was noticing, he put away the feathered arrows along with the bow and crossbow.
early morning
Qi Yun hesitated outside Ye Wu's tent for a long time, and finally, he gritted his teeth and opened Ye Wu's tent.
Ye Wu had already gotten up and was tidying up his clothes at this time.
"Why?" he looked at Qi Yun.
Qi Yun clenched his hands into fists and half-knelt on the ground.
"Young master, I've been thinking about it for a night, and there are some things...... I think I have to report to the young master. He said with a solemn face, and with that, he took out a feathered arrow and a crossbow.
"Huh?" Ye Wu looked at the feather arrows and crossbow from afar, and his right eye jumped suddenly.
"Please take a look, young master. Qi Yun handed over the two dirts.
"This is ......" Ye Wu took the thing in Qi Yun's hand, and after taking a closer look, his face instantly sank.
This is a two-foot-long bow and crossbow, the appearance of the bow and crossbow is exquisite, and the mouth of the arrow is in the shape of a tiger's head, giving people an undoubted majesty, which is not the point, the focus is on the dark gold pattern printed on the side of the bow and crossbow, which is the Ye family pattern.
"It's ...... The special crossbow of the Ye Family Praetorian Guard ......" Ye Wu muttered in his mouth, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but even so, he still felt that the world was spinning around, the hand holding the bow and crossbow trembled slightly, and the bow and crossbow fell to the ground with a crackle, and his body tilted.
"Young Master. Qi Yun exclaimed, why did he step forward and support Ye Wu.
Ye Wu stabilized his body, and after he exhaled heavily, he suppressed the qi and blood surging in his body.
"It's all right......," he commanded, "go and burn these things, keep the plan the same, and keep going, remembering, don't tell a third person about it." ”
“...... Be. Qi Yun responded, and after reporting the casualties to Ye Wu, he left.
Ye Wu placed some of the wounded who had difficulty moving by a freshwater lake, and after leaving some nursing personnel, he continued to set off with the rest of the people.
A team of seven arrived in the imperial capital with the best equipment.
The emperor is not better than other places, here Qionglou Yuyu, treasure Tianhua, on the street, in the city, people are bustling, like the tide gathered here, the sound of selling, the sound of asking for prices is endless.
In the center, the imperial city of the Jiang Dynasty is located here, and the red walls of the imperial city are like blood, giving people a sense of not to be offended.
All kinds of signs converge here, the imperial capital is like a paradise, but who knows, this prosperity is only on the surface, the real imperial capital is actually a Shura city that eats people and does not spit out bones.
"Little brother, come in and have fun~" The smoky woman in a green building was the white horse who stopped Ye Wu, and said charmingly.
"Get out of the way!" Qi Yun shouted and pushed it away, in his eyes, anyone who wanted to get close to Ye Wu could be an assassin, he had to be extra vigilant.
"What are you doing! If you don't come, you won't come, why are you working so hard. The woman waved her handkerchief dissatisfiedly, muttered a few words, and went to solicit the others.
Qi Yun spat at those people with some disgust.
"Young Master, why don't we go directly to the palace, but instead wander around this city. He looked at Ye Wu puzzled.
"The reason is simple, I want everyone in the city to know that I'm back. Ye Wu's face was flat.
Seeing this, Qi Yun was speechless, and honestly followed Ye Wu's side.
Ye Wu's purpose was achieved, and there was a sound of discussion in the crowd.
"Who is this man? I don't know if you are not allowed to ride a horse in the streets? "Dressed in a gorgeous robe, the person dressed as Brother Gongzi looked at Ye Wu with a look of a fool.
"Yes, this person is too bold, and my young master doesn't dare to do this. The attendant next to him hurriedly replied.
Just as this group of scholars were pointing with him, a scholar in cloth suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh, look at his waist card! I know this! Isn't this the ...... That who ......"
Seeing this person's appearance, a flower-faced man standing next to him couldn't stand it.
"If you don't know it, don't say it, let me tell you, it's the Ye family's waist card, and it's exclusive to the eldest young master. The big man said angrily.
Everyone was shocked, their eyes flashed, and they were silent.
"Which Ye family's eldest young master?" asked an uninformed person.
This sentence was heard by the people on the side, and I saw that the person was looking at the person who asked the question with an expression that looked retarded.
"You are stupid! there is only one Ye family in the imperial capital, whose family do you say it could be?"
"Yehou Mansion...... Oh my God......" the man reacted.
“......”
In front of the Royal Palace.
One of the guards saw Ye Wu's posture riding a horse, and with his years of experience, he didn't immediately order Ye Wu to dismount.
Horseback riding was not allowed in the city, and this man must have been in extraordinary standing if he did so. The guard thought to himself.
"Stop, what are you doing?" he symbolically stepped forward to interrogate.
"The city lord of Nanzhou City, I am ordered to return to Beijing. Ye Wu took out the holy decree from his arms.
When the man saw this, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Ye Wu nodded and dismounted, as did the others.
He patted his sleeves and looked up at the big red door open in front of him, there was a sign "Meridian Gate" hanging on the top of the door, and behind the door was a majestic palace, the palace was under the blue sky, and the golden glazed tile heavy eaves on the top of the palace looked particularly brilliant.
I didn't expect to come back so soon. He sighed, and the day he left the palace seemed to be yesterday.
"You are waiting here. Ye Wu commanded.
"Yes. Qi Yun nodded and stood motionless.
Seeing this, Ye Wufang left.
In the main hall of the palace, the sound of folding sounded, obviously Ye Wu caught up with today's court meeting.
"Your Majesty's ......"
A minister was admonishing when suddenly a discordant voice came in and interrupted the minister's words.
"Your Majesty, Ye Cheng, the lord of Nanzhou City, was ordered to return to Beijing. The man reported.
"Announce him in. ”
"Yes!" the man nodded, turned around and shouted, "Xuan, Nanzhou City Lord Ye Cheng has entered the hall!"
"Xuan, the city lord of Nanzhou City enters the palace ......"
"Xuan, the city lord of Nanzhou City enters the palace ......"
“......”
In a moment, Ye Wuda stepped into the palace.
The gold bricks in the hall are paved, in the center, a solemn expression, wearing a dragon robe, a middle-aged man wearing a crown is sitting on the dragon chair, and the dragon chair is arranged on both sides of the giant pillar with six golden cloud patterns.
Ye Wu looked at the person in front of him, this person had a kind face, and he didn't have the momentum that a king should have, if it weren't for the fact that this person had a pair of eyes like a quiet pool, Ye Wu would have mistaken him for a small sugar gourd vendor who likes to coax children at the entrance of the village.
Is he Jiang Ming? Ye Wuxin sighed in his heart, he forcibly pressed his body and let himself kneel on the ground.
"Minister, I've seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor. With that, he bowed to the man.
"No courtesy. Jiang Ming waved his hand.
"Emperor Xie!" Ye Wu stood up and stood where the city lord should stand.
The court meeting did not change anything because of Ye Wu's arrival, Ye Wu stood quietly, he seemed to have been forgotten, and he didn't say a word until the end of the court meeting.
"Retreat. Jiang Ming held his forehead with one hand and waved his hand, today's court meeting is shorter than in the past.
After the people had saluted, they scattered in all directions.
"Hurry up, stay away from him. Everyone bypassed Ye Wu like a plague god.
The crowd dispersed.
"Why don't you step down?" Jiang Ming looked at Ye Wu, who was motionless, and frowned.
"The sinners don't dare. Ye Wu knelt on one knee.
Jiang Ming smiled and waved his hand absently.
"Isn't it just that there are a few more people, common things, this time I didn't come to ask you about your sin, I just thought that you haven't returned home for a long time, and I hope to go back and see. ”
Ye Wu raised his head, and after looking at each other, he understood the other party's eyes.
"Yes!" he saluted, turned, and walked away briskly.
Ye Wu hurriedly passed through the noon gate and happened to meet someone passing by.
"You're Ye Cheng, right? Sure enough, it's extraordinary, run, if you don't run, it's too late, my junior disciples are not as soft-hearted as me. The man sighed with emotion and left abruptly.
Ye Wu's figure was stunned, and he turned around to find that there was no one behind him.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Qi Yun stepped forward.
"Nothing. Ye Wu shook his head, maybe he was too tired.
"Go back to the palace. He ordered, he was going to go back and take a look, at the man who had reassured him.
"Yes!" the crowd commanded.
At this time, it was already evening, Ye Wu came to an alley, and he knocked lightly on a door, which was the side door of the palace.
I heard the side door creak open, revealing the head of a small servant from inside.
"Who are you looking for...... Xiao Wu obviously didn't react when he saw Ye Wu when he saw it clearly, and when he saw the person clearly, his expression was wonderful.
"Master, madam, the eldest young master is back!" the little maid couldn't even bother to close the door, and even jumped towards the interior of the palace.
After a while, I saw a woman dressed slowly walking towards this side with the support of everyone.
"Mother. Seeing this, Ye Wu hurriedly stepped forward, and he knelt down in front of him on one knee, "I'm back." ”
