Chapter 156: Xilin State
"This is my bodyguard and my most trusted family member. This time, Elder Chen wants to go to Xilin Prefecture with me, so she will stay to protect Your Majesty." Shen Yunfan pointed to the wind chime and introduced.
"Elder Chen is also going to Xilin Prefecture?" Wei Qing blinked, and muttered again, "It's okay to protect you......
On the side, the wind chime was dissatisfied: "Young master, I don't want to protect her."
Emperor Zhao Wen betrayed them back then, causing the wind chimes to hate the emperor until now!
Even the emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty is no exception!
"Obedient."
「…… Okay." Wind Chimes nodded reluctantly.
Shen Yunfan smiled helplessly and said, "This sister is very kind, if you have more contact with her, you may like her."
"She's a woman?" Wind Chime was a little shocked, but she didn't care about this kind of secret, so she shook her head and said, "Then I won't like her either."
Shen Yunfan told Wei Qing's secret to the wind chime, which shows that the wind chime is definitely trustworthy.
So, Wei Qing didn't say anything.
Shen Yunfan was a little worried that they would not get along, so he did not rush to leave, but deliberately stayed in the Heart Cultivation Hall to help them build a good relationship.
But he obviously thinks too much, because two simple girls can easily get along together.
In the afternoon, the two girls were already chatting together. Shen Yunfan wanted to go over and listen, but was stopped by Wei Qing and said, "You are not allowed to listen to the topic of girls!"
Shen Yunfan scratched his head and retreated, now that he was left out in the cold, it seemed redundant for him to stay here.
"Yes, I didn't expect it to be self-inflicted." Looking at the way the two girls were talking and laughing, Shen Yunfan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
However, in the afternoon, another 300-mile expedited letter was sent from Xilin Prefecture.
Two letters in one day, it can be seen that Xilin Prefecture Taishou was prepared in advance.
Shen Yunfan opened it and looked at it, and read: "A supreme treasure was found in Xilin Prefecture, and Weichen was sincerely afraid, and wanted to present it to His Majesty, and begged His Majesty to send someone to escort the treasure back to Beijing......
A letter of credit is delicate, describing the treasure as very tempting.
After hearing this, Wei Qing's eyes lit up and said, "The things sent by Xilin Prefecture before are very good, and this treasure must also be an excellent treasure!"
"Look at your money-obsessed look." Shen Yunfan smiled, shook his head and said, "This Xilin Prefecture Taishou is estimated to be similar to Liu Cheng, and the old woman is cunning."
"Why do you say that?"
"He guessed that you would not condemn him, so he sent this letter again, volunteering to offer the treasure as a sign of faith."
"Oh? And we've earned it?" Wei Qingle was happy.
"No, this so-called Arcana is definitely not simple." Shen Yunfan's eyes were a little more interested, and he muttered, "I'll go and see what he's calculating."
……
In the evening of the same day, two carriages set off from the capital and headed straight for the west.
The goal of this trip is not to start a war with people, so if you bring soldiers, it is easy to be misunderstood by the Taishou of Xilin Prefecture. What's more, in the rivers and lakes, a small number of soldiers are useless at all, but it is easy to make a big splash.
Therefore, there are not many people led by Shen Yunfan, only Chen Zicai, Zhang Qi, and Fat Man. Secretly, there are also some five-way ghosts.
In addition, the two soldiers from Xilin Prefecture who were responsible for sending 300 miles of urgent intelligence also followed them back to Xilin Prefecture.
In the carriage in front, only Shen Yunfan and Chen Zicai were sitting.
Shen Yunfan asked at this time, "Old Chen, why did you come with me this time?"
In fact, at the beginning, he didn't plan to bring Chen Zicai, but Chen Zicai took the initiative yesterday and said that he wanted to follow.
Chen Zicai was shrouded in black robes, and said without any waves at this time: "Qing'er likes you, if you die in Qianyuan City, she will be sad, so the old man came to protect you."
"Oh, then thank you Elder Chen." Shen Yunfan smiled, his eyes flickering slightly.
Chen Zicai stayed in the Southern Wei Dynasty for ten years and protected Wei Qing for ten years. This time, he suddenly left the capital of Southern Wei and went to Qianyuan City with him, which definitely had another purpose.
The so-called protection of Shen Yunfan is just a casual reason.
However, Chen Zicai refused to say his purpose, so Shen Yunfan didn't ask much, but changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Old Chen, in the past two days, I have seen almost the swordsmanship you gave."
"So fast? You didn't get mad again, did you?" Chen Zicai was stunned.
"No, but the Chen family's swordsmanship is really magical, and I see that every move has a feeling of surging internal force. This is a long journey, and I want Elder Chen to give me some guidance." Shen Yunfan said seriously.
"Okay, then you can show me the drill."
Shen Yunfan nodded, pointed to the sword, and asked Chen Zicai for advice while performing sword moves......
There are two hundred miles from the border of the capital to Xilin Prefecture, and there are one hundred miles from the border of Xilin Prefecture to Xilin City, and the whole journey is three hundred miles.
However, they sat in a carriage and could only walk slowly along the official road.
With such a long journey, it is estimated that it will take two days to arrive.
Xilin Prefecture is long and narrow from south to north. The total width from east to west is only 100 miles, but the length from north to south is 400 miles.
To the east of it are the Chu Prefecture and the capital of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and to the west are many city-states of rivers and lakes.
Xilin City was only a few dozen miles away from the nearest city-state, much closer than the capital of the Southern Wei Dynasty. Therefore, for many years, Xilin Prefecture has been in frequent exchanges with the city-states of rivers and lakes, and commerce and trade are also quite prosperous.
The group walked and stopped, and when they were resting, Shen Yunfan played a sword to show Chen Zicai.
A day later, at night, they finally entered the pass of Xilin State.
When Shen Yunfan, the prime minister of the dynasty, came to Xilinzhou in person, he had already been informed of the matter, but only a small hundred households came out to greet him at the pass here.
His attitude was very cold, and as soon as they met, he said, "Prime Minister, if you go west from this official road, you will be able to see Xilin City for a hundred miles."
With that, he made a gesture of invitation and motioned for everyone to pass.
Shen Yunfan frowned slightly, standing in place and not moving.
Zhang Qi in the back understood, rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and scolded: "Presumptuous, what about your generals guarding the pass? Let him get out and meet the Prime Minister!"
There was some mockery in the other party's eyes, and he said lightly: "The army is busy with military affairs, and the general instructed me to greet him. In addition, this is the boundary of Xilin State, and it is good to have someone to greet you."
"This is Xilin Prefecture", he said very seriously.
was provoked like this, Zhang Qi wanted to open his mouth and scold again.
However, Shen Yunfan waved his hand and said, "Lao Zhang, don't say it."
"But ......" Zhang Qi was very angry.
The leader of the hundred households glanced at Shen Yunfan sarcastically, and said as he retreated, "There are many people behind, please pass the customs quickly, and the little one wishes the prime minister a smooth journey in advance."
So saying, he withdrew.
When the dignified prime minister came to Xilin Prefecture, not only was no one to greet him, but there was no escort. It can be seen that Xilin Prefecture didn't take him seriously at all.
Zhang Qi said indignantly, "Divine Doctor Shen, let's go back and sue him and treat him for his crimes!"
"Lao Zhang, let's keep a low profile and don't make a big deal. Xilin Prefecture is too guarded, not a good stubble." Shen Yunfan reminded, "After entering Xilin Prefecture, no one is allowed to mention my identity."
