After staying in Wusheng Mountain for a while, Qin Wushuang set off to return to his hometown. www. QUanbEn-xIAoShUo. cOm Purple-robed Martial Saint Belt and several other venerables were sent out of the imperial capital.
Qin Wushuang kept a low profile all the way, riding on horseback, and soon arrived at the official road dozens of miles outside Nanyunzhou City. What he saw along the way surprised Qin Wushuang.
Along the way, Qin Wushuang actually saw thousands of young adults, each carrying baskets with bedding and other things tied to them, and the baskets seemed to contain dry food and the like.
At first glance, these people look like refugees fleeing from famine. But upon closer inspection, it was obvious that he was not running away from famine.
It can be seen from their expressions that there is no fear and helplessness on their faces, let alone the desolation and despair. All of them had happy expressions on their faces, even some anticipation and fascination. Qin Wushuang was very puzzled and wanted to stop and ask, but Nian still held back.
In a short while, they arrived at the gate of Nanyunzhou City. To return to Luojiang County, you have to go through the north gate, exit the city from the south gate, and transport it to Luojiang County on the South Avenue of Nanyunzhou, which is faster.
Qin Wushuang looked along and saw that along the dozens of miles of official roads, there were all such young and middle-aged people. To say that they gathered to make trouble, Ba, these people are obviously ordinary villagers. Even if they have the strength of a few kilograms of crops, it is absolutely impossible to fight against the regular troops. And they didn't have any weapons in their hands.
Outside the city gate, it was even more crowded with people. There are hundreds of guards at the city gate. Everyone looked cautious and maintained order. Although these villagers were not expelled, they were not released either. "Master, just let us in. We promise not to cause trouble and go around obediently. We won't stay. We are not here to cause trouble, nor are we here to complain."
A rather sophisticated peasant man negotiated with the captain of the city gate guard in his not-so-standard Mandarin.
Qin Wushuang came over on horseback out of curiosity. Seeing that Qin Wushuang was well dressed, the guards wanted to let him go. Just as Qin Wushuang's flattery was about to pass through, the villagers rushed in like a swarm of swarms. In a hurry, the guards quickly formed a human wall to block the attack of these peasants. The guard captain drew his sword and said, "Stop now. If you charge again, we won't be polite."
Seeing the weapons, the peasants were stunned. Country people are naturally afraid of officers and soldiers. When they see the bright sword, they all step aside with a depressed expression.
A few of them said, "Oh, the state city won't let us pass. It's a big deal. We can go around a big garden and walk a few hundred miles more, and we can still get there."
"Yes, isn't this Nanyun Prefecture under the leadership of King Tianci? King Tianci treats the common people so kindly, why is Nanyun Prefecture so cruel?"
Qin Wushuang's heart moved, he reined in his horse and turned around, asking a guard: "Where are these villagers going?"
The guard said angrily: "Who knows where they are going. These days, it's like going crazy. Thousands of farmers are pouring towards Nanyunzhou City every day."
Qin Wushuang reined in his horse and walked out, saying to the villagers in the front row: "Fellow fellows, you are attacking the city. This is not allowed. Even if there are special circumstances to go, you still need official approval, and special cases will be handled specially. You guys Let’s take a step back and talk about your situation. See if we can get a special approval for you to pass.”
Seeing Qin Wushuang's extraordinary bearing and luxurious clothes, the villagers guessed that he was a young master from a noble family. One of them said: "This young master, we are all good people gifted by God. It's winter now, and there is no work in the fields. I heard that he is a young master from a noble family." The God-given Royal City is undergoing repairs, and we just want to help and put in some effort.
"Yes, the God-given King is blessing our entire territory, and the God-given King's son, Wushuang Hou, is blessing our entire Baiyue Kingdom. For such a good family, even if we have a low status and can't help much, we can still contribute some crops. We are really not causing trouble, we just want to take advantage of the three or four months after winter starts to help.
"Yes, young master, please help us to intercede. If we go around hundreds of miles, we will waste several days. We farmers don't have much time, so we just want to help for a few more days. We will not become a god-given palace. It’s a burden. You see, we all brought our own bedding and dry food. When we are hungry, we eat dry food. When we are thirsty, we just find a stream to drink. We have bedding around us... "
With their simple faces and sincere eyes, it can be seen that these villagers want to help from the bottom of their hearts.
Tai Wushuang did not expect that this God-given palace, which had ruled the area formerly controlled by the Akagi King for less than two years, would have such a reputation and appeal.
Feeling warm and proud in his heart, he nodded: "Why do you support the Tianci Palace so much? The Tianci King protects the territory, and the Wushuang Marquis protects the family and the country. That is what they should do."
"Although it should be said, they are just different!" A rough man shouted. Country men are not good at speaking in big situations, so they can only use louder voices to express their emotions. "Why is it different?"
"It's different, it's different. It's much better than the previous King Chimu! King Chimu taxes heavily and doesn't care about the life and death of the common people. Throughout the year, we rent the land and turn over 90% of the harvest, and the remaining 10% is used to fill our stomachs. Not enough, right? Under the rule of King Tianci, we only need to turn over 50% of our harvest and can keep 50%. Not only can you eat well, but you can also buy some belongings and save a little bit. "Let us common people have enough food, warm clothes, and no need to worry. If you don't support such a prince, who should you support?" ? "Support the God-given King, support the Unparalleled Marquis!" "
The villagers became more and more excited as they talked, but looking at their expressions, one could see their piety and sincerity. This was definitely not a disguise, nor was it a false and polite emotion.
Qin Wushuang can understand their kindness. Why didn't many simple farmers in the previous life do the same? When others treat them wholeheartedly, they will be very kind in return. They don't ask for much, they just want to live a peaceful life, they don't need to be too rich, just be well off. "Master, please be kind and help us. We promise that everyone will go there obediently and there will never be any accidents." "Promise not to cause trouble."
Feeling their sincerity, Huan Wushuang nodded: "Well, it's rare for you to express your sincerity. King Tianci and Marquis Wushuang must be very grateful. I thank you on their behalf.
"Gather together first, don't cause chaos. Every hundred people form a small team and organize them in order. Assemble outside the city, and at the same time spread the word along the road, so that those who come later will also follow the order.
I will go and talk to you now and let you cross the border. "Qin Wushuang comforted them, and at the same time asked them to organize themselves and not look like a swarm of swarms.
As soon as Tai Wushuang said this, the villagers cooperated very well. They spread the word one by one, and they were very aware, and they quickly organized themselves. Sure enough, according to what Qin Wushuang said, every one hundred people formed a team.
Tai Wushuang walked to the city gate and said to the guard captain: "Your Excellency, captain, please send this thing to Da Meng's mansion in Ximen and tell the Ximen Clan Master that an old friend is visiting. He can guess it as soon as he sees this thing. to my identity. Then you tell him to contact the Nanyun Prefecture Government Office and issue a special approval document to release these people."
The captain heard that Qin Wushuang's conversation was extraordinary and his actions were full of magnanimity, so he knew that this person had a good background. How can the identity of a person who keeps asking to see the Ximen Clan leader be simple
He took the token immediately and didn't dare to take a glance at it. He put it in his arms and bowed and said: "Okay, I will go there myself. But before I come back, how about you please stop these villagers?" "He also saw that these villagers listened to Qin Wushuang's words. "Okay, feel free to go."
The captain turned around and gave some instructions, then galloped towards the city gate. After a while, he arrived at the mansion of the great Ximen clan, directly reported his name and asked to see Lord Ximen Meng.
Originally, a mere captain of the city guard did not bother to see the Ximen clan leader. But since he came under orders, he didn't care about these details.
Seeing the low status of the guard captain, the porter of Ximen Dakuo said: "Your Excellency, the Valve Master has many things to do and is resting at the moment. What's the matter with you that you want to see Lord Meng?"
The captain knew that the concierge was making things difficult, obviously because he didn't have enough status. I was a little angry, but I couldn't let it out: "There was a noble man outside the city gate who asked me to bring something to the Ximen Lord, saying that an old friend was visiting. He said that the Lord could guess his origins when he saw this thing. "Humph, I don't know where this cat and dog came from, but I want to borrow the Lord's name." The porter said, glancing at the guard captain, "You wait first, I will report."
He reached out to take the guard captain's token, walked inside, and reported it at all levels, and finally it got into the hands of Master Ximen Meng. At this moment, Ximen Yu was closing his eyes and recuperating. He was quite displeased when he heard his confidant coming to report. He, Ximenyu, has begun to enjoy life a little since his son Ximen Xing became a disciple of Xingluo Palace.
"Master, a guard captain came to ask for an audience. He said that an old friend gave him a token, but Master Meng was not seen. He said that if the old man saw this thing, he would be able to guess his origin.
Ximenyu nodded: "Come in."
After the confidant walked in, he respectfully handed over the token.
When Ximenyu saw this thing, he turned it left and right. A simple token with the Chinese character "大罗" written in seal script on the front and the Chinese character "国士" engraved on the north side.
Ximenyu almost shuddered, and he brought the token closer to see it - the Great Luo Kingdom's Military Order!
With a "thump", Ximenyu jumped up from the recliner, grabbed the Valve Master's clothing next to him with one hand, and finished putting it on at lightning speed.
"Hurry, prepare your horse, the fastest and best horse!"
Ximen Yu felt a little uneasy, as he seemed to be putting on too much of a show. It took a lot of time to go back and forth from the concierge outside the mansion to the lord of the clan, reporting to at least five floors. Thinking of this, some cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
