It's a little different from what I look like.

Shi Kailin is not very old, that is, he is in his forties, which is quite young in the county guard.

The appearance is gentle and elegant, giving people a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals.

"Jincheng County Shoushi Kailin see His Highness!"

"Shi Kailin, this king wants to ask you, Jincheng is more than 100 miles away, you don't want to stay in the city well, why did you run so far to see this king?"

Shi Kailin smiled slightly and bowed.

"Your Highness, the ministers were specially in Jincheng by the emperor's decree, waiting for His Highness's arrival, but until the afternoon, my city reported to the report, but I never saw the shadow of His Highness's troops on the official road."

"Therefore, the minister thought to himself that His Highness may have led the army to take the path, so he came specially and fortunately found His Highness."

Liu Qi was a little strange.

Normally, the distance of his own march, except for the news that Pingcheng will receive, other places will not be known in advance.

Of course, the officials are very well-informed, let alone the crown prince, even if the emperor goes on patrol, they will have all kinds of ways to know in advance.

But this kind of emperor decreed that he would be greeted, there is no reason for this?

"Bold Skalin! Dare to deceive this king! How could Your Majesty give an order to let you meet you in Jincheng? ”

Facing the prince's sharp eyes, Shi Kailin was not panicked at all.

"Back to His Highness, it was this morning that someone from the palace informed Weichen that he asked His Highness to be in Jincheng to pick up the troops led by General Han Zhong."

That's clear.

He set out on the expedition today, and General Han Zhong did not accompany him.

The reason for this is that the expedition is in a hurry, and General Han Zhong and Liu Yin need to check the ration of grain, grass and ordnance this time.

After all the acceptance is completed, we will go out of the city and join the army.

In order to save some worry, Liu Qi simply left Yan Wenhu behind.

The original plan was that they were going to meet them in Heiseong. I didn't expect that so soon, we were going to meet together.

In fact, there is no need to guess, Liu Qi also knows.

These eighty percent are directly related to Yang Wenyuan's party.

Yan Wenhu is such an important chess piece, he was given by himself and is still in Qingdu, how can he be as he wishes, he must be the emperor of Shangjuan, say something to ensure the safety of the four princes, and let the prince meet him in Jincheng.

"Han Zhong, are they here now?"

In what Shi Kailin said, the four princes were not mentioned, and Liu Qi naturally would not ask so.

Come to think of it, this is also a kind of protection for the four princes.

After all, there were only a hundred guards with them.

"Back to His Highness, the minister asked. According to the people in the palace, General Han Zhong will arrive in Jincheng tomorrow. ”

Liu Qi nodded.

At this point, I can only stay in Jincheng for one night.

"Okay, take your people and open the way ahead."

Back in the carriage, it didn't take long for the army to pull out.

After thinking about it, I don't know why, Ronnie Lau always vaguely felt that this matter did not seem to be so simple.

......

Jincheng, three miles away.

In the evening, I finally saw the city.

But the army did not enter the city, and under the order of the prince, it was stationed in place not far from the city.

On the one hand, it is definitely inconvenient to enter the city with so many soldiers.

On the other hand, Liu Qi was also worried that it would disturb the people in the city.

"Your Highness, the camp has been arranged, is there anything else to order?"

"You pick a dozen soldiers, led by General Qin Wei, and enter the city with this king. Stay in the camp and wait for news from the king. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qi frowned slightly, tugged on the reins, and got closer to the prince's window.

"Your Highness, is it inappropriate?"

"You brought such a small number of soldiers into the city, and the last general was worried... Either you might as well stay in the camp, or the general will send you some more soldiers. ”

Liu Qi shook his head with a smile.

"General Bai, don't worry."

"This king is ordered to go on an expedition, even if he lends him ten dares, and he will not do anything to this king. But if there is any mistake, he Shi Kailin's brain should not want it. ”

"Besides, since you have arrived, you don't enter the city, which is underestimated. This king hasn't come out for a long time, and he just took this opportunity to see how Jincheng was governed by him. ”

Hearing what Liu Qi said, Bai Qi could only follow orders.

After a while, the ten soldiers who accompanied him were selected.

Seeing the faces of these people, Liu Qi was slightly surprised.

Aren't the ten people who followed Bai Qi for training and competition at the beginning?

To this day, Liu Qi can still remember the names of some people.

Gao Dalin, Niu Er, Tian Mandui...

Especially Gao Dalin, who used to be a squad leader of ten people, has now become a centurion in the army.

"See Your Highness!"

Liu Qi is very satisfied with Bai Qi's arrangement, at least these ten people are familiar to him, and they are relatively easy to use.

"Master Shi, lead the way, the prince enters the city!"

With Qin Wei's shout, the prince and his party set off.

Naturally, it can't be compared with Qingdu, and it is only in the evening, and the streets have become a little cold.

Except for a few restaurants, most of the other shops are closed.

These are nothing, what surprised Liu Qi the most was that.

Skelin rode his horse from the front to clear the way.

Almost all the people who saw him greeted him.

"Master Shi, are you coming back from a trip?"

"Yes, I just came back from the city, how is the business today?"

"Okay, no, I just bought a fish and went home and asked my aunt to stew it."

Through the curtain peak, it can be seen that this man's face is full of happy smiles.

This is just one of them, basically every citizen who greets Shi Kailin, he will respond to him in a friendly manner.

From this alone, you can feel the status of Shi Kailin in the minds of the local people.

originally thought that Shi Kailin belonged to Yang Wenyuan's party, and he was no different from those sanctimonious corrupt officials.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Is he still a clean official?

Liu Qi and his entourage were arranged to Shi Kailin's mansion. It was specially set aside for the crown prince to live.

Liu Qi was still a little embarrassed, and asked if he had disturbed his family, if he had arranged it at the official post.

But Shi Kailin refused, saying that his family was young and old, and he had been arranged to live at a relative's house temporarily when he got the news this morning.

Hearing his words, Liu Qi was slightly moved.

The mansion of the county guard is not the same as the residence of officials in the imperial court, it is the residence and the public court, both together.

The front houses have councils, offices, accounts, etc., and the back hall is used for living.

Although Jincheng is not big, Shi Kailin, the county guard, is also a four-grade official.

But the facilities and utensils at home really look a little shabby.

Compared with the four-grade officials in the court, his life can be said to be too bad.

After seeing too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, such a clear stream suddenly appeared, and for a while, Liu Qi was even a little unaccustomed to it.

At this moment, I heard Shi Kailin shouting softly behind him.

"Your Highness, the dinner has been prepared, please dine."
