Chapter 177: City Gate Inventory
It stands to reason that the prince of Cheng'an has been lost for so long, and the northern part of Lingnan should have been chaotic.
But looking at the arrangement of officers and soldiers at the city gate, it doesn't seem to have much impact?
When Ye Hao's family's carriage arrived at the city gate, they lined up behind a bunch of carriages.
Although Liancheng is not a big city, the prosperity is not as good as that of Chengpingzhou County, but as one of the three county towns that enter the north from the south, the daily flow of people in Liancheng is still quite large.
In addition, there are officers and soldiers patrolling, which has led to a slower rate of human circulation.
By the time Ye Hao arrived, half an hour had passed, and the scorching sun made people a little dizzy.
"We are from Qingcheng, the steward of the Fu family of Jiangnan."
Lin Bin did not get out of the carriage, but faced the officers and soldiers who came over for interrogation, took out a token with a metallic luster from his arms, the bronze token was quite exquisitely made, except for a few patterns, it was a capital Fu character.
When the officer and soldier heard this, they glanced at Lin Bin more, and after checking the token, their faces eased a lot.
The news that the eldest son of the Fu family in Jiangnan came to Lingnan has long been spread, even if he has never been to the sphere of influence of King Cheng'an in the north, as the son of the marriage of the two Fu Xia families, the most important in Jiangnan, King Cheng'an still told his subordinates not to provoke each other.
If it weren't for the royal bloodline, it would be these two families in the Jiangnan region, and I am afraid that the strength would be above him, the prince.
After all, Lingnan is notoriously poor and desolate, how can he be rich as a prince? Not to mention having to face the suspicion of the one above.
When he saw the Fu family's token, the officer and soldier should have let him go, but the leader of the officer and soldier holding the portrait behind him did not agree.
"I'm tired of opening the curtains, we need to check."
Knowing that these were Fu Ru'an's people, the leader's attitude was still extremely polite, not like a fierce and vicious person to others.
It's just the process that should be followed, and that's one that can't be missing.
Lin Bin frowned slightly, and was about to ask about the inside, when a slender hand stretched out from the carriage and pulled the heavy curtain open.
The figures of Xie Yunshu and the three appeared in front of the leaders of the officers and soldiers, Ye Hao was still wearing a veil, while Zhao Yi was full of curiosity with a pair of big eyes.
When Leng Buding saw the handsome appearance of Xie Yunshu, the leader was still stunned for a moment, and when his eyes turned to Ye Hao, he was stunned for a moment.
Even if you wear a veil, the eyes that are exposed alone are unforgettable.
When he checked the drawing paper in his hand and Zhao Yi's face in a daze, his sanity came back a little, and he frowned a little puzzledly.
The little boy in the painting seems to have some similarities with Zhao Yi, but on closer inspection, they are very different.
Zhao Yi in front of him was white and chubby, like a little Fuwa, and clever and well-behaved.
The child on the paper is obviously extremely thin, and his expression is relatively gloomy, except that his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar, and his temperament is completely different.
Just as the leader hesitated, Xie Yunshu spoke.
"Official, we are from Qingcheng, and below is the steward of Fu Ru'an Fu Gongzi, whose name is Fu Yun. This is my wife and nephew."
This is their status in advance, so that they can walk in the north before meeting King Cheng'an.
Xie Yunshu and Ye Hao both lived in the capital before their exile and had never dealt with people in the Lingnan region, so they didn't have to worry about their identities being revealed.
Of course, if you see King Cheng'an, you can't hide it.
After all, one of the two is the son of the prime minister, and he was once a brilliant person in the three yuans, and King Cheng'an must have an impression.
But with his back to Fu Ru'an's big tree, even if it doesn't work out in the end, the other party will not do anything to his family.
I don't know if it was because Xie Yunshu's attitude was too generous, or because he was impressed by the other party's temperament, even if the leader noticed that the children in the carriage were somewhat similar to the person he was looking for, he still didn't stop them after all and let them into the city.
Wait until the back of the carriage
They couldn't see it, and the leader came back to his senses with some hindsight, and instructed the officer and soldier beside him:
"You hurry up and go to the county government and inform the county magistrate that Fu Ru'an has sent someone over."
This matter is not a trivial matter, even if this is only a small leader among the officers and soldiers, he still has some ingenuity in him.
Fu Ru'an has been in Lingnan for about two years, but he has never set foot in King Cheng'an's sphere of influence, even if it is King Cheng'an's birthday, it is also a gift from the Fu family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has never asked.
Now that people are suddenly sent into Liancheng, it is really difficult to guess what happened.
King Cheng'an is also far more vigilant than it seems.
It wasn't until she stepped into the inner city that Ye Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately she was not discovered.
It's not that she doesn't want to send Zhao Yi back immediately, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. If these officers and soldiers who are looking for him find out that the other party is beside him, they will undoubtedly mistakenly think that their family is the one who abducted him, and they will not be able to explain the reason at that time.
Moreover, before meeting King Cheng'an, none of the three of them could reveal their identities.
Sending Zhao Yi to the Cheng'an Palace's Mansion is also an urgent opportunity for Xie Yunshu to get in touch with the Cheng'an King, and with his current status, he can't miss the opportunity and never come again.
After entering the inner city, they first chose an inn to settle down and rest.
After several days of hurrying, Ye Hao's bones were about to fall apart, and she just wanted to get a good night's sleep and eat something delicious.
Even Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin's faces showed a little tiredness.
After each of them entered a room, the four of them first slept well, and then gathered until near noon on the second day, and went downstairs to eat a little at the inn.
It's not that Ye Hao isn't hungry, it's just that the dishes native to this era are really not flattering!
At this moment, she suddenly remembered Fu Ru'an's Moon Tower, how good it would be if she opened here, at least her appetite could be satisfied.
After having the condiments that Ye Hao provides steadily every month, the dishes in Mochizuki Tower are now rich, and the guests are about to break through the threshold.
Although it is not as good as the various modern cuisines for the time being, at least it is extremely good compared to the dishes of this era, at least Ye Hao can accept it.
After pulling a few dishes on the plate that were either tasteless and greasy, Ye Hao sighed, touched her stomach, and decided to rely on herself.
And the two next to him, except for Lin Bin, who is not picky about living conditions at all, the other one big and one small have been raised by Ye Hao, and they can't eat it either.
"Auntie, these dishes are not as delicious as your steamed buns!"
Zhao Yi, who stuffed his mouth while holding back his disgust, had an ugly face, but he remembered what Ye Hao said to cherish food, and even if it was difficult to eat, he still forced himself to eat it.
Fortunately, Lin Bin appeared, and when he saw that several other people didn't seem to like to eat, he cleaned up the whole table like a whirlwind.
The consumption of physical strength by martial arts practitioners is also very great, and he comes alone most of the time during this time, and it is not a problem to finish a whole table of dishes.
But Ye Hao, who saw Lin Bin's big appetite for the first time, was stunned, and looked at his stomach vigorously, but saw that the position should be flat or flat.
Maybe there's an eight-pack abs!
The idea was crooked in an instant, Ye Hao smashed it, she seemed to have accidentally seen Xie Yunshu also have abdominal muscles before?
Just as she was thinking about something unspeakable, she suddenly felt the corner of her clothes being pulled, and immediately looked down.
"Auntie, can you make steamed buns again?"
Zhao Yi opened a pair of watery eyes, full of pleading tones.
Even if he shoved a few bites, he didn't actually eat much, and he was still hungry.
Touching his little head quite lovingly, Ye Hao replied with a smile:
"Of course!"
After that, she went to discuss with the shopkeeper of this inn and borrowed someone's kitchen.
The inn is no better than a restaurant, in
The dishes are indeed a little worse, some rich and noble people are naturally not used to eating, and it is common to borrow the kitchen to open a small stove.
Ye Hao only spent a little more silver, and naturally occupied the other party's kitchen.
It's almost noon now, and everyone who really wants to eat delicious food goes to the restaurant, but there is no one in the inn, so no one comes to fight with Ye Hao.
After casually wrapping more than a dozen big buns with cabbage and pork filling, the family of four filled their stomachs in the kitchen, and the rest all went into Lin Bin's stomach.
Ye Hao continued to be surprised, it was really the first time she found that the other party could eat it so much!
Recalling Lin Bin's previous performance at home, he ate a little more than Xie Yunshu, did he treat him harshly before?
While doubting herself, Ye Hao followed the others out of the door.
When they arrived at the realm of King Cheng'an, they didn't have to be in such a hurry to go to Chengpingzhou County, but planned to go around the city now.
First, I was in a hurry for several days, so I rested and recuperated first. On the other hand, I also asked for some news to facilitate the next trip.
Liancheng seems to be small in scale, but the first county town bordering the north and south, there are still a lot of people on the streets.
After the family walked around, Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin both carried a lot of things in their hands, all of which were gadgets that Ye Hao liked when he saw them. Also, Zhao Yi's favorite little snack.
When it was time for dinner, they chose the largest restaurant in the city to sit down, not in the quiet private room, but in the hall.
Ye Hao was still wearing a veil, but even so, Xie Yunshu's appearance beside her still caused a lot of shock.
In the end, he was rated as the best son in the capital, and in a remote area like Lingnan, he would be even more shocked.
However, Xie Yunshu is a man after all, and after those men are surprised, there will be nothing but jealousy and envy.
As for women, it's an ancient time, how many women dare to stare at other men?
The family chose a seat on the side and ordered three or five dishes, accompanied by a pot of wine.
"You say, let's go straight to Chengpingzhou County next, or go to Lincheng?"
While waiting for the food to be served, Ye Hao whispered a question about Xie Yunshu.
If you continue to take the official road, you will inevitably pass through another county seat, which is Lincheng.
But they can also choose to take a small road, bypassing Lincheng to reach Chengpingzhou County, which is just an extra day or two away.
Ye Hao originally had no opinion on which road to take, but when she first came to Liancheng, she saw the posture of the officers and soldiers, and she was afraid that the next few counties would be closed.
If they can get through the tricks, it's hard to say what happens next.
Even if Zhao Yi is under his own care, he is already much different from his previous appearance, but as long as he compares it carefully, it is indeed very similar.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if you are recognized halfway, then won't they run in vain this trip?
Even if he met King Cheng'an in the end, in the other party's preconceived misunderstanding, the impression of his own group was much worse.
That's not what they're for!
