Chapter 686: Arrival in Jeju (Part I)

Two days later, twenty miles outside Jeju City, Xiningdu.

Because of the steady water depth here, it has naturally become a port ferry for ships to go ashore, and with convenient land transportation, it has become a key node in and out of Jeju.

Because of this, this once small ferry has gradually become lively and prosperous in the years of development, and Yidu has built Xining Town, which is even larger than many small county seats.

At noon in early June, despite the scorching heat, the ferry and the town were still overcrowded, with all sorts of people waiting for their goals, as they waited for their goals.

And whenever a ship docks, as long as it is big enough, dozens or hundreds of people will flock to it, just to take on a job to earn money to support the family.

When Sun Ning's large building boat docked, it was also this scene of scrambling, and from a distance, you could hear someone shouting there, "Do you want to unload the goods? As long as two pennies per large item, we will be able to deliver it to the shore properly and without errors......

This kind of lively life atmosphere made Sun Ning's eyes show joy, which he couldn't see even in Jiangnan before, this is the most real folk situation.

And from such a lively scene, he can also see that the current Ludi is still quite prosperous and stable, at least the people here in Jeju can live a stable life with their own skills.

Soon, however, this vivid scene was ruined, and as the ship officially landed on the dock, behind the crowd, a group of officers and soldiers with swords and spears came quickly, and the generals in front of them drove aside all the coolies who were waiting to solicit business with only a few shouts.

Then, a middle-aged man with a calm temperament walked quickly behind the officers and soldiers, and in three or two steps he came to the gangplank that had just boarded the shore, and bowed his hand to the people who were about to get off the boat: "Zhao Gongzi is here, and he is disappointed in the future, and I hope to forgive my sins."

Zhao Qianzhe immediately walked off the boat steadily around his subordinates with swords on their waists, and hurriedly smiled and saluted when he saw this: "Don't dare, you are Ye Changshi, right?"

"It is Ye Feng, who is the chief of the Lu Palace, and he has come to welcome him by the order of the prince."

After the two met, they were polite again, and at the end, Ye Feng looked at Zhao Qianzhe with concern: "Zhao Gongzi's face doesn't look very good, but is it because of the fatigue?"

Indeed, Zhao Qianzhe's face looked a little pale at this time, and although he was strong, he still looked a little lacking in energy.

In fact, his current appearance is only presented with a little makeup, in order to naturally fit more closely with Sun Ning, who has just recovered from a serious illness. In the face of the inquiry, he just smiled: "Let Lord Ye smile, I occasionally felt a cold when I came down, and I haven't completely recovered yet." As he spoke, he coughed twice.

Ye Feng hurriedly comforted a few more words, then called the carriage and invited Zhao Qianzhe to get on the car, as for the other people who got off the boat, they didn't bother him to entertain him, the governor of the palace, and a few other officials stepped forward to deal with it, and then used several other carriages that were quite spacious and comfortable to pick up Zhao Hanshan and other important people around Zhao Qianzhe.

Sun Ning was also among them, after some disguises, his identity at this time was just a companion in charge, and he was named Li Ji, but he was in the same car as Zhao Hanshan and Xue Mudao.

It wasn't until the car drove up and confirmed that no one outside could hear the conversation of a few people that Sun Ning lowered his voice and said, "Just now, it seems that Gongzi is not in any danger, is there a place for me?"

"Brother Li, you've just arrived in Jeju, so I don't know how complicated this place is. What's more, Ye Changshi can be regarded as our own person, so he naturally has him to help arrange it in terms of safety."

Zhao Hanshan said with a solemn gaze: "And after really entering Jeju City and falling into the eyes of some people with intentions, the situation is completely different. So when you pretend to be a son, you have to be more careful."

After a pause, as if he was worried about Sun Ning's fear, he added: "Of course, when you pretend to be our son, only a few of us know, and the guards around you will still do their best to protect your safety, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Of course, in the next both

However, if he promised Zhao Gongzi to help him, he naturally would not regret it." Sun Ning nodded solemnly, and then asked tentatively, "It's just...... To this day, I still don't know the real purpose of your coming to Jeju, and how do you pretend to be him and interact with people? Can you tell me about this trip first?" c

"This...... Before Childe nodded, I didn't dare to tell the truth. It's not that I can't believe you, Brother Li, it's really a big deal."

Sun Ning could only nod in understanding and said no more.

In the previous two days of sailing, his body recovered quite quickly, not only those wounds had scabbed, but even his strength had recovered a lot. In addition to not being able to fight with people, the general sitting and lying movement is no longer hindered.

However, what Sun Ning cares about more is that the other party has never told him.

In addition to knowing that they would negotiate with King Lu, who was still there, there was not even a trace of truth about their purpose, origin, etc., from these people.

Obviously, they don't have complete trust in Sun Ning, at least they won't tell the truth until they really need him, even if he still looks like an injured person who doesn't even remember who he is.

After walking in some silence for an hour or so, the outside environment suddenly became lively.

This made Sun Ning a little curious, and after consulting the opinions of the two people in the same car with his eyes, he lifted the curtain and looked out.

I saw that I had arrived in front of the majestic Jeju Fortress, and at the open gate, people were constantly passing in and out, and the sound of laughter and quarrels was mixed in one place, spreading the enthusiasm of the people without reservation.

The noise and excitement here are even worse than those in the ferry, even if it is only one of the gates into the city, the number of people in and out of the city is not less than that of the ferry, and the energetic and prosperous appearance makes Sun Ning feel that this is back to the cities in the south of the Yangtze River before the birth of a series of chaos.

This really surprised him even more, although Ludi is not a barren and backward place, but because it is located in the north, there are multiple threats from the Liangzhou army, the Pingtian army, and even the ghost forces, and he originally thought that it should be a very dangerous place.

Why is it that now that Jeju City is so prosperous and thriving?

This is completely different from the imaginary situation of being attacked on three sides!
