All three were shocked.
How come so quickly
According to their estimates, the Prince's car should have to wait two more days to arrive!
The county magistrate asked, "Can you see clearly, is it really the prince's car?"
The yamen wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted, "With so many people, the team has been dragging on long, scaring the victims who gathered outside the city gate and fleeing, and some people stepped forward to call the door, saying it was the prince. Your Highness is here, let's go out of the city to pick you up."
Jin Dianshi slapped his thigh: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the city gate to pick you up!"
The three did not dare to delay, leaving a small number of people to continue to stay here, while the others hurried to meet the prince's car.
The gates of Gangu County opened slowly.
The county magistrate took a deep breath, and strode out with a group of officials and arresting yamen, knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted the prince, Chitose!
Zhao Xian, who was dressed in military uniform, rode forward on his horse and looked at them condescendingly.
"Why did it take so long to open the city gate?"
The county magistrate hurriedly said: "Something happened in the city, which delayed the time to open the city gate. It is because the subordinate officials were ineffective, and I hope the general will forgive me."
Zhao Xian's eyes swept over them one by one, frowned and asked, "Why don't you see Magistrate Yang?"
The county magistrate stammered and couldn't answer.
The others also lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Zhao Xian sensed that something was wrong, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Quickly and truthfully call in!"
The county magistrate was so frightened that he shivered, knowing that this matter could not be concealed, so he could only tell the truth.
"Reporting to the general, the magistrate Yang was held hostage by the gangsters!"
Zhao Xian's expression became more and more severe: "Who dares to hold a court official?"
"That's a group of outsiders. They relied on their martial arts skills to deliberately injure the yamen and the police, and also kidnapped the magistrate Yang. They were just arrogant, and they died! Unfortunately, our manpower was limited, and we took care of the magistrate Yang. I don’t dare to confront them head-on, and I implore the general to help us and help us rescue the county magistrate Yang.”
After speaking, the county magistrate kowtowed to Zhao Xian and kept his posture very low.
When the other officials saw this, they all kowtowed and begged Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian said solemnly, "Let us enter the city first, and after we settle down with His Royal Highness, I will follow you to catch the kidnappers."
The county chief and others were overjoyed: "Thank you, General!"
More than 2,000 cars slowly poured into the city, and the scene was quite spectacular.
People in the city walked out of their homes one after another and stood on both sides of the street to watch this magnificent scene.
Many people craned their necks to see the prince's car. They wanted to know what the legendary prince looked like. Is it really as unattainable as the rumors say
However, the Prince's car was closed all around, and even the windows were completely covered, so that people outside could not see what was going on inside the car.
No matter how long the people stretched their necks, they could not see the appearance of the prince.
The Prince's Palace is almost finished, but it's still a long way from being officially completed.
According to the plan of Magistrate Yang and others, they planned to use the last few days to tidy up the palace, so that the prince would be able to move in smoothly when he arrived.
Who knew that something happened in the middle of it, not only was the magistrate Yang kidnapped, but the prince's car arrived two days ahead of schedule.
Without a well-built palace, it will definitely not be able to live in.
The county magistrate hurriedly asked someone to vacate the county government office for the prince to live in.
However, Zhao Xian said: "Don't be busy, His Royal Highness does not live in the county office, take us to the inn."
The county magistrate was anxious: "Our inn here is very dilapidated, how can we let His Royal Highness live in that kind of place?"
Zhao Xian asked coldly: "This is what Your Highness means, do you have any opinions?"
The county magistrate didn't dare to say anything, and took them to the inn angrily.
