After staying in Wusheng Mountain for a while, Qin Wushuang set off to return to his hometown. The purple-robed Martial Saint took several other Venerables and sent them all the way out of Yanjing.

Qin Wushuang kept a low profile all the way, rode on horseback, and soon came to the official road dozens of miles outside the city of Nanyunzhou. What he saw and heard along the road surprised Qin Wushuang very much.

Along the way, Qin Wushuang actually saw thousands of young and middle-aged people, carrying baskets on their backs, and the baskets were tied with bedding and the like, and the baskets seemed to be filled with dry food and the like.

At first glance, these people look like refugees fleeing the famine. But if you look closely, it is obviously not an escape.

From their expressions, it can be seen that there is no panic and helplessness on their faces, let alone the desolation and despair of the deserters. All of them had happy expressions on their faces, and even some anticipation and some fascination.

Qin Wushuang was very puzzled and wanted to stop and ask, but he finally held back.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of Nanyunzhou City. If you want to go back to Luojiang County, you have to go through the north gate, go out of the city from the south gate, and go to the South Avenue of Nanyunzhou to Luojiang County, which is faster.

Qin Wushuang looked along the road, and these dozens of miles of official roads were all such young and middle-aged people along the way. If you want to say that they are gathering crowds to make trouble, these people are obviously ordinary villagers, even if they have a few catties of crop strength, it is absolutely impossible to fight against the regular troops.

And they don't have any weapons in their hands.

Outside the city gate, it was even more crowded with people. On this side of the city gate, there are hundreds of guards. One by one, their faces were cautious, maintaining order. Although the villagers were not expelled, they were not released.

"Master, just let us in. We promise not to make trouble, and obediently go around. It's not going to stay. We're not here to make trouble, and we're not here to complain. ”

A rather delicate peasant man, in his not-so-standard official language, negotiated with the captain of the city gate guard.

Qin Wushuang curiously beat his horse and walked over, and those guards saw that Qin Wushuang was dressed well, so they wanted to let him go. Qin Wushuang's sycophants were just about to pass through, and those villagers were about to rush in.

In a hurry, those guards hurriedly formed a Chengren wall to block the impact of these villagers.

The captain of the guard drew his waist knife: "Stop me, and if you rush again, we will not be polite." ”

Seeing the blade, those villagers were stunned. The countrymen were naturally afraid of officers and soldiers, and when they saw the bright blades, they all retreated to the side, looking depressed.

A few said: "Alas, the state city will not let it pass, it's a big deal, let's go around in a big circle and walk a few hundred miles more, and we can still get there." ”

"Yes, isn't this Nanyun Prefecture under the control of the Heavenly King? The Heavenly King treats the common people so kindly, why is Nanyun Prefecture so fierce?"

Qin Wushuang's heart moved, he turned around and asked a guard, "These villagers, where are they going?"

The guard said angrily: "Who knows where they are going, these days, as if they are crazy, every day tens of thousands of villagers and peasants continue to pour towards Nanyunzhou City." ”

Qin Wushuang walked out and said to the villagers in the front row: "Fellow countrymen, you are not allowed to attack the state city. Even if there are special circumstances to pass, it is necessary to have the approval of the government, and special circumstances are handled. Take a step back and tell me about your situation. Let's see if we can approve the document with a special expression, and you will be allowed to pass it. ”

Those villagers saw that Qin Wushuang had an extraordinary bearing and luxurious clothes, and they expected him to be the young master of a noble family, and one of them said: "This young master, we are all good citizens of the heaven-given king. Now that it's winter, there is no work in the fields, and we heard that the Heavenly Gift King City is being repaired, so we just want to help and make some efforts. ”

"Yes, the Heavenly King blesses our entire territory, and the son of the Heavenly King, the Unequaled Marquis, blesses our entire Baiyue Kingdom. Such a good family, even if we have a humble status and can't help a lot, we can still do some cropping strength. We're really not making trouble, we're just trying to help out three or four months after the winter. ”

"Yes, this young master, please help us intercede. If you go around hundreds of miles, you have to waste several days. We don't have much time to spare, so we want to help for a few more days. We will not be a burden to the heaven-sent royal palace, you see we have brought our own bedding and dry food. When you are hungry, you eat dry food, when you are thirsty, you can find a stream to drink, and when you are sleepy, you have a bedding......"

With their simple faces and sincere eyes, it can be seen that these villagers want to help from the bottom of their hearts.

Qin Wushuang didn't expect that this Tianci Palace's rule over the area originally led by the Chimu King was only less than two years, and it would have such a reputation and appeal.

Feeling warm and proud in his heart, he nodded: "You, why do you support the Tianci King's Mansion so much? ”

"They should be, but they're different!" exclaimed a rugged man. When the country men encounter a big scene and are not good at speaking, they can only raise their voices to express their emotions.

"How is it different?"

"Different is different. It is much better than the previous King of Akagi! King Akagi pays heavy taxes, completely ignores the lives and deaths of the common people, and throughout the year, we rent the fields for farming, and in the harvest, ninety percent of the harvest is handed over, and the remaining one percent is not enough to fill the belly!"

"Isn't it? Under the rule of the Heavenly King, we only need to hand over 50% of our harvest, and we can keep 50%. Not only can you eat a full stomach, but you can also buy some belongings, which is a little surplus. ”

"Let us civilians be well fed, warmly dressed, and not afraid, such a prince, if you don't support it, who else will you support!?"

"Support the Heavenly King, support the Peerless Marquis!"

The more the villagers talked, the more excited they became, but looking at their expressions, it was completely clear that they were pious and sincere, which was definitely not disguised, let alone false and polite feelings.

Qin Wushuang could understand their feelings, and in his previous life, many simple peasants were not the same? They don't ask for much, they just want to be able to live a stable life, not to be too rich, and to be well-off.

"Young master, please be good, help us speak. We promise that they will all go over obediently, and there will be absolutely no accidents. ”

"No troublemakers guaranteed. ”

Qin Wushuang felt their sincerity and nodded: "Okay, it's rare for you to have a piece of your mind, and the Heavenly Gift King and the Wushuang Marquis must be very grateful to be used." I thank you for them. ”

"Gather yourselves first, and don't be confused. A squad of every 100 people, organized in order. Assemble outside the city, and at the same time spread the word along the road, so that those who come behind will also come in order. I will now go and tell you, and let you go through the border. Qin Wushuang spoke out to appease, and at the same time, he also asked them to organize themselves, so as not to look like a swarm of bees and messy.

As soon as Qin Wushuang opened his mouth like this, these villagers were very cooperative, one by one, very conscious, and soon organized spontaneously. Sure enough, according to what Qin Wushuang said, every hundred people formed a team.

Qin Wushuang walked to the gate of the city and said to the captain of the guard: "Your Excellency, Captain, please send this thing to the mansion of the Ximen Valve, tell the Ximen Valve, and say that the old man is visiting." As soon as he looked at it, he could guess who I was. Then you tell him to contact the Nanyun Prefecture Governor's Office, open a special approval document, and release these people. ”

The captain listened to Qin Wushuang's extraordinary conversation, and he was full of grace in his gestures, and knew that this person was not small. The identity of the person who opens and closes his mouth to see the lord of the Simon valve is simple?

took the token at the moment, didn't dare to glance at it, put it in his arms, bowed down and said, "Okay, I'll go myself." But before I come back, how about you please stop this group of villagers?"

He also saw that this group of villagers listened to Qin Wushuang's words very much.

"Okay, you can go with confidence. ”

The captain turned back and gave a few words, and rode his horse towards the gate. After a while, he came to the mansion of the Ximen Valve, directly reported his name, and asked to see the Ximen Valve.

Originally, a mere captain of the city guard was not qualified to ask to see the lord of the West Gate. But since he was ordered to come, he didn't care about these small sections.

The porter of the Ximen Grand Valve saw that the captain of the guard was lowly, but he said: "Your Excellency, the valve master is taking care of all opportunities, and he is resting at this moment. What is the matter with you that you want to see the Lord of the Valve?"

The captain knew that this porter was difficult, obviously because he was not good enough. I was a little annoyed in my heart, but it was inconvenient to attack: "There is a noble person outside the city gate, let me bring something to the lord of Ximen, saying that it is an old man who is visiting." It is said that when the lord looks at this object, he can guess his origin. ”

"Hmph, I don't know where the cat and dog came from, but I want to borrow the name of the lord. The porter said, glancing at the captain of the guard, "You wait first, I'll go and report." ”

Stretched out his hand to take the token of the captain of the guard, walked inside, and reported layer by layer, and finally reached the hands of the Ximen lord. At this moment, Ximen Yu was closing his eyes and recuperating, and he was a little unhappy when he heard the report from his henchmen. He Ximen Yu has begun to enjoy life a little since his son Ximen Xing worshiped under the Star Luo Palace.

"Valve master, there is a guard captain who came to see him, saying that there is an old man who gave a token to see the valve master. It is said that when the old man sees this thing, he can guess his origin. ”

Ximenyu nodded: "Come in." ”

After the henchman walked in, he respectfully handed over the token.

When Ximen Yu looked at this thing, he turned left and right. A quaint token, the front of the seal is written with the word "Da Luo", and the north side is engraved with the word "Guoshi".

Ximen Yu almost shuddered, and took a closer look at the token - Da Luo Guoshi Order!

"Teng", Ximenyu jumped up from the recliner, grabbed the valve owner's clothes next to him with one hand, and finished wearing them at a lightning speed.

"Quick, prepare the horse, the fastest and best horse!"

Ximen Yu was faintly uneasy, and his shelf seemed to be wide. From the gatehouse outside the mansion to his lord, there are at least five floors, back and forth, and it has been delayed for a long time.

Thinking of this, some cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
