Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 644
The current prefecture of Siming Mansion, Haiyuan City, can be vaguely seen. The reason why it is called "now" is because the former prefecture of Siming Mansion was further west. Later, due to some unclear reasons, it was transferred to Here, Haiyuan City was built.

Haiyuan City is located in the south of the Ming River. To the northeast of this city is a moat and several watchtowers. To the southwest, there is a river flowing along the streamline of Qinglong Yanyue Dao. From the perspective of terrain, it is indeed a strategic location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Haiyuan City is considered to be an important place for transportation at this time. The number of tourists traveling from south to north is second to none in southern Guangxi. The market day every three days is very lively. There is a constant flow of teams, and the wooden and bamboo rafts on the river are moored at the Hewan Wharf to supplement food supplies.

Due to the large number of floating population coming and going, the catering and hotel industries here are flourishing.There are many businessmen in Haiyuan City, and there are also many rich people, and the richest people, except for the Huang family of the local prefect, are the people who live in the main street.The houses on both sides of the main street, especially the streets, are mostly green brick and tile houses, which is rare in southern Guangxi at this time.

However, the most majestic and majestic street is the magistrate's yamen. Since Haiyuan City was established, it has always been a symbol of the power of Huang's Guangnan Emperor.

Although Haiyuan City is a mountainous city, the more than ten villages outside Haiyuan City are mostly plains and hills, with fertile land and especially good water resources.This is a transportation hub connecting all parts of southern Guangxi, connecting Taiping Mansion to the north, Lianzhou Mansion to the east, Nanguan Town to the west, and Anbang Town to the south (this is a town in Annan, similar to the first-level mansion of Daming).

However, Gao Yushi still has doubts about the word "Haiyuan" in "Haiyuan City". This place is obviously in the mountainous area of ​​southern Guangxi, and it is two hundred miles away from the nearest sea—Beibu Bay (called Zhuchi at this time). Far, where does the word Haiyuan come from?
However, Huang Zhiting, who is a landlord, quickly told him the reason. It turned out that there was a large pond to the west of Haiyuan City. This pond was not only large in size, but also quite deep.

Huang Zhiting also proudly stated that her swimming skills were practiced in "Haiyuan".

Gao Yushi traveled with her for nearly a thousand miles. Although it wasn't a long time, he was familiar with her, and he didn't have much fear now.And he found that Huang Zhiting seemed to be more able to accept his harmless jokes, so he had a lot less scruples when speaking.

At this moment, after hearing Huang Zhiting's words, Gao Wushi teased directly: "You are not afraid of someone suddenly appearing in the water."

Huang Zhiting's face turned red immediately, if it wasn't for the fact that there were already a group of wolf soldiers by her side, she would have had to argue with Gao Wushi.

But at this moment, there is no other way, and I can only say with hatred: "This is the Siming Mansion! When this girl is playing in the sea, she will naturally send someone to clear the place. How can anyone dare to seek death?"

Oh, that's true.

Gao Wushi nodded and said with a smile, "I forgot that this is your family's territory."

"Hmph, it's good that you know. This girl reminds you, even if you are not afraid of snakes and insects now, this girl still has ways to handle you. Don't make mistakes."

"Squeeze it?" Gao Wushi stroked his chin, which didn't have a beard at all: "I didn't expect that the girl still has this skill. I like pinching the back more, girl, look..."

"Go to hell!" Huang Zhiting was ashamed and annoyed, she glanced around quietly, but fortunately, the group of wolf soldiers she was used to were all very winking, all of them kept their eyes on each other, and seemed to turn a deaf ear to these words.Especially Huang Hu, he walked ahead with his usual expression, except for two twitches at the corners of his eyebrows, he didn't react at all.

Speaking of which, Huang Hu also worked hard all the way.At that time, after he and Young Master Cen Qi parted ways, he had been trying his best to track down Huang Zhiting's traces. After finding the clues, he hurried after him. It wasn't until he got to Bazhai that he realized that his young lady and Mr. Zhang had gone to Siming Mansion.

Huang Hu is one of the generals of the Siming Mansion. He is not the strongest in terms of leading the army, but because his martial arts are the best in southern Guizhou, he is often sent by Huang Chengzu to protect Huang Zhiting, so he is quite sure of which route Huang Zhiting will choose.Sure enough, after chasing for another three days, he finally caught up with Huang Zhiting and Gao Yushi in Sien Mansion.

So I didn't say much, and naturally escorted the eldest lady all the way to the south.As far as Huang Zhiting and Gao Wushi were concerned, Huang Hu's appearance also helped them solve a big problem-the two of them were penniless, and they had to eat wild fruits for nearly ten days all the way, and only had two meals in Luoyuzhai , It's almost like a bird is fading out of his mouth.

"Hahahaha..." Gao Wushi laughed, it seemed that he didn't take this princess seriously, but Huang Zhiting seemed to have nothing to do with him, except for a cold snort, there was nothing to say.

Huang Hu heard it in front of his head, and couldn't help crying inwardly: Miss, aunt, you must not fall in love with this crazy student, although he has a reputation as a scholar, but that thing is top notch in the eyes of the Huang family. What is it?Even if the magistrate gave him a quota, he might not be able to make up for the shortage in Guangxi. What use is such a person to the Huang family?
You are the jewel in the palm of our magistrate, and there is a high probability that you will marry other big chieftains. It doesn't matter who the partner will be now, but it's better than messing with this madman!
However, even though Huang Hu thought so, he didn't dare to mention it to Huang Zhiting. After all, the rule of the chieftain is completely different from that of the imperial court. Who to deal with, only the magistrate can control, and even her younger brothers have no say.

And even though his surname, Huang Hu, is also Huang, but this branch of his family was not considered a Tusi clan as early as a hundred years ago, and his blood is ridiculously far away, so how dare he talk too much?
While Gao Wushi and Huang Zhiting were talking and making trouble, the group had already arrived at the gate of Haiyuan City.In fact, although this Haiyuan City is considered a big city in southern Guangxi, in the eyes of Gao Yushi, its size and prosperity are no more than about the same level as Xinzheng County. The only thing that far surpasses Xinzheng County is the city defense.

Not to mention that Haiyuan City is backed by the Mingjiang River, the city walls are quite tall and strong. Although it is not comparable to the defenses of Datong City, it is not inferior to Liuzhou and second only to Guilin in Guangxi.For the Siming Mansion, which has no support from the imperial court and only relies on the financial resources of a single government, it is already a big project.

Huang Zhiting, the chieftain lady, was not like the ladies in the Central Plains who refused to show her face so easily, so she swaggered into the city under the guard of more than 200 wolf soldiers.

What made Gao Wushi especially dumbfounded was the reaction of the natives when they saw the flag representing her identity—seeing the flag from afar, they hurried to the side of the road and knelt down, kowtowed their heads on the ground, and waited for the wolf soldiers to appear beside them. Before and after, they began to kowtow non-stop, and did not stop kowtowing until the shadow of the last wolf soldier in the team disappeared from his body.But even if he didn't dare to look up at this moment, let alone get up, he would have to wait a while before he dared to get up from the ground.

During the whole process, none of the natives dared to look up at Huang Zhiting.And Huang Zhiting didn't even look at these natives who were kneeling on the ground, obviously she was used to it long ago.

Gao Pragmatism has only one feeling: Fuck, this rule is bigger than meeting the emperor!

Fortunately, although there were many people in Haiyuan City, it wasn't too big. It didn't take long to walk along the main street from the south gate to the magistrate's yamen in the north—that is, Huang's Mansion.
