Chapter 1331 Arriving in Xijin County!
The prince's people arrived soon. If they set off earlier, they can reach their destination sooner.
When boarding the ship, Yue Shansheng and the old man were arranged to the main ship.
The guard uniform of Prince Rujiang's Mansion was dark brown, and Yue Shansheng didn't want to wear it. Even in the most difficult time of his life, he had never been anyone's servant.
The old man didn't wear anything either. At his age, he was not used to bowing to anyone.
The two of them were still wearing their original tattered, patched clothes, which were not warm and dirty.
The prince couldn't stand it, but he didn't force them to wear guard uniforms. He sent someone to find two robes and asked them to change into them temporarily, as if they were afraid that they would bring fleas on board.
After washing up and changing into new clothes, Yue Shansheng's face, which had been silent all morning, finally calmed down. He had indeed not been so clean and comfortable for a long time.
The prince had no special requirements for them and never spoke to them again. It was as if the two of them were just two ordinary guards who picked up each other on the road when they had nothing to do.
But the prince didn't say anything, but the people around him stared blankly.
It is said that their boat is going to Baishanzhou.
Yue Shansheng had heard of the name Baishanzhou. In fact, although they stayed at the transit dock in the past two months, they also secretly inquired about a lot of information about this strange country.
Baishanzhou is located on the left side of the two rivers. It is connected to the state capital by a small wharf. The wharf belongs to a small county under the jurisdiction of Baishanzhou. I can’t remember the name of the county, but it is said to be a very poor county.
They are going to that dock county now.
Yue Shansheng doesn't like to talk and is indifferent. Ever since he got on the ship, servants from the palace have been coming to him every day. He doesn't want to pay attention to them, so he really doesn't pay attention to them.
But Rong Leng's master liked to communicate with these young people. He knew that the other party came to trick him deliberately, but he always happily accepted it. In the end, their secrets were naturally not tricked away, but he was tricked. Less secrets from others.
It's not exactly a secret, but it's always something they don't know.
For example, the purpose of their trip. The little maid with a round face and a chubby face was sitting in the house of a gray-haired old man, eating the cake that the old man handed to her. Her bulging cheeks moved like a hamster, and then she said to the old man: "In the beginning we I don’t know either, but didn’t things get serious later? It was said that the daughter of the governor of Tingjiang Prefecture was in Baidu.
Shanzhou killed more than one person, and the emperor was furious, so our master said he wanted to come over and have a look. "
The kind-faced old man saw the little fat girl eating so deliciously, and couldn't help but smile and narrow his eyes: "So you are just here to watch the fun? Then your prince is very grand, with seven or eight boats following him." The little fat girl puffed. Laughing: "Grandpa, what you are saying is so funny. Who is our prince? He is also your prince. However, the prince was not a person who liked to join in the fun before. I don't know why this time. It would be better if we were in the capital. Li Baishan The island is not far away, but we can go with the old princess
As for the ancestor worship in Lezhou, it was such a long journey and we had to rush there, leaving the old princess behind. "
The old man frowned slightly: "You came so far away, are there any close associates of the prince involved?"
The little chubby girl was stunned, lowered her voice, and said cautiously: "Grandpa, please don't talk nonsense. Our prince is just a king with a different surname. How dare you talk to the governor of a state about whether he is a close confidant or not? The emperor is very taboo about this..."
The old man nodded hurriedly: "Okay, grandpa, don't talk anymore, you can eat some more." The little chubby girl smiled again, took the pastries and bit them one by one, and continued: "We always look at you, grandpa, that's not the case." I want to ask something, but I just find it strange that the prince doesn’t like to pick up people on the road. No one knows how he stayed at that small pier all night and brought back two big ones.
Living man, our old prince has been in the army all his life. The guards in our house have always been selected from the army and never found outside. What's more, grandpa, you are quite old..."
To say that he is quite old is putting it mildly. Aren’t they all called grandpa?
When the old man had finished inquiring, he asked the last question: "Your Majesty, do you have any disagreement with anyone?"
The little chubby girl shook her head: "No, our prince is not very popular in Beijing, but my cousin is a sociable person. With my cousin here, how can my prince be at odds with others? Everyone is trying to fawn over him."
The little fat girl ate three plates of pastries in the old man's house before leaving with satisfaction. After he left, the old man also went to Yue Dansheng's room.
Yue Shansheng was sharpening his sword in his room. The sword was given to him by the captain of the guard on the ship. When he got it, he saw that the sword was not very sharp, so he started to sharpen it himself.
After traveling around the world for many years, Yue Shansheng has always had the habit of carrying weapons with him. He used to live alone at the dock because of the environment. Now that he has weapons, he naturally doesn't want to let them go. While Yue Shansheng was sharpening his sword, the old man sat on the chair in his room, folding his hands and muttering: "The court of Xianyan Kingdom is so strange. The governor of a state is actually under the control of the emperor himself, and his power is still there." No small matter, princes and nobles have no real power and only have a beautiful name. This is not the case in Qing Dynasty.
Yun Guo, but I have never heard of it. "
Yue Shansheng was not interested in the systems of other countries and only asked: "Did he find you?"
The old man knew who he was talking about and shook his head: "No."
"What's the purpose?"
The old man shook his head again: "It is said that this young prince has no enmity with anyone. He came here from Lezhou this time. But you also saw that the way he looked before was clearly in trouble and looking for help from you and me."
"Then just wait." Yue Shansheng looked at it openly: "If he can't hold it in, he will tell himself."
The old man smiled and said, "Your majesty, I never thought in my wildest dreams that one day I would find two homeless people asking for help. He is probably awkward right now and doesn't know what to say to you and me."
To the surprise of the old man and Yue Shansheng, the young prince did not even talk to them when the ship arrived at the so-called dock county after six days of sailing.
But thanks to the little chubby girl's advice, the royal servants on the ship were much less wary of these two strangers, and would say hello to them occasionally when they met.
This dock county is called Xijin County. When the ship docked, Yue Shansheng saw people standing on the shore when the ship docked. They were all court officials wearing official uniforms. Judging from the hoods on their heads, their official positions were quite high.
The prince disembarked from the boat surrounded by guards, with great pomp.
As soon as he went down, the people below him saluted and looked respectful.
Yue Shansheng and the old man walked at the end. After getting off the boat, they followed the young prince. The young prince was chatting with an official. After talking for a while, a middle-aged man who was sweating profusely came out and said with his head buried in his head: "Your Majesty has been tired of traveling and traveling all the way. The subordinates have prepared the palace. I respectfully invite you to come back." The government is temporarily resting."
