The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 299 Don't You Want Your Head?

"No need to talk nonsense, knock on the door."

Xiao Yu got out of the carriage and stood on the wooden board in front, his eyes were cold.

"Yes!" Feng Jiang rode on the horse and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, break open the door for me! See what kind of tricks are hidden inside!"

Ning Zhao came out wrapped in fox fur, looked at the closed city gate with a frown, and asked suspiciously: "My lord, don't wait any longer, just hit the door directly, isn't it too direct?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Ningzhao, if there are people in the gate, it's fine if they didn't hear our shouts at first, but we shovel the snow so loudly, how could they not hear it all the way to the gate of the city?"

Ning Zhao was taken aback: "What does the lord mean that there is no one inside?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Either there is no one, or the people left behind dare not open the door casually, and went back to report."

Ning Zhao immediately said angrily: "What time is it, are these people still trying to play tricks? The common people are having a hard time, but are they still thinking about it?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said nothing, everyone understands the truth, but when they are dying, most people are holding luck in their hearts and want to struggle again.

"Boom-"

After a dull bang, the soldiers cheered: "The door is open!"

"Quick! Open the city gate and let our prince in!"

The soldiers poured into the city gate like a black wave, and the city gate was forced to open wide, revealing the true face of Yongcheng.

Xiao Yu took a closer look, and found that the entire street was empty, without even a ghost. When the north wind blew, it was extremely bleak.

Feng Jiang was the first to enter the city on horseback. He walked around the street twice, but he didn't see anyone. He looked at the shops on both sides of the street in surprise. All the doors were closed, and it seemed that no one had been in or out for a long time. The steps, There is a little thin snow on the lanterns.

Xiao Yu's carriage then entered the city, Feng Jiang turned back, and came to the window of Xiao Yu's carriage: "My lord, why is this Yongcheng so lifeless? Isn't it the first city in Suizhou? It doesn't look like a prosperous land no matter what. ?”

Xiao Yu glanced around, lowered his eyes and said: "Don't worry about this, go to the Governor's Mansion to have a look."

"Yes."

The governor's mansion of Yongcheng is in the southwest corner, and it is the residence of Gou Buyuan, the governor of Yongcheng.

Xiao Yu's carriage stopped slowly at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Tsing Yi turned over and knocked on the door: "Is there anyone? The prince is here, open the door—"

The sound of Tsing Yi's knock on the door woke up the doorman who was keeping warm in the porter's room. He woke up from his sleep with a shiver, jumped up and rubbed his eyes, wondering if he heard it wrong.

After waiting for a while, the knock on the door rang again, and the boy hurriedly stepped on his boots, put on his big padded jacket, and walked quickly to the door.

"Is anyone there? The Regent is here to provide relief, open the door—"

This time, the boy was sure that he heard correctly, his eyes widened, and he muttered softly, "Why did you come here so soon?"

He thought about it, but still pretended he didn't hear it, so he went to report to the master first.

Tsing Yi stuck to the door and listened for a while, then turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Master, it was clear that someone came out just now, and now he is leaving again."

Xiao Yu was not surprised, "Xu is the guard at the gate, wait a minute."

"Oh." Tsing Yi backed away, and Feng Jiang snorted coldly: "The little governor of Suizhou has a lot of airs, the prince is also the grand tutor, and he is also the imperial envoy for the disaster relief, so it's fine if you don't open the door to greet him in person. It's just outside his house, and he still has to play tricks, bah—"

Feng Jiang despised these people the most.

Xiao Yu didn't change his face, put his hands in the hand warmer, and stood quietly on the carriage.

……

The boy here trotted all the way to Gou Buyuan's yard, and before he entered, he heard the sound of warblers and swallows inside, his footsteps stopped, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

It's broad daylight, what are adults doing in there?
"Oh my god—you're really dead!"

"Hahahaha, what's wrong with you? I love you so much. Come and have another drink."

"Master, why do you only drink hers and not my slave's? I don't agree~"

Hearing the tone of sighing and trembling three times, goose bumps all over the boy's body came out.

He gritted his teeth, and went forward to knock on the door: "My lord, it's too bad, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court has arrived at the door!"

The room was immediately quiet, and then Gou Buyuan's impatient voice came: "What imperial envoy? Why did the imperial court send the imperial envoy here?"

As soon as the servant heard the movement of his big tongue, he knew that he had drunk too much. He complained in his heart, seeing someone soon, what should he do?

He hurriedly said: "My lord, the imperial envoy must have come to relieve the disaster! The imperial envoy is not someone else, but the current king regent. Come out quickly, my lord, everyone has arrived at the door!"

The room was quiet again, and after a while, there was a crackling sound from inside.

"Oh my god, slow down!"

"You stepped on my servant's skirt!"

"Step on it, step on it, get out, get out! Go hide in the backyard, don't let the prince see! Oh, my mother, why did you come here all of a sudden!"

There are endless sounds from inside.

After a quarter of an hour, Gou Buyuan, dressed neatly, finally opened the gate of the Governor's Mansion with a serious face, and immediately looked straight at him.

He saw Xiao Yu's long body standing on the carriage, and the snow-white fox fur shone with a soft luster in the sun, making her look like an exiled fairy in the dust, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart, and he couldn't help showing a little surprise in his eyes Salivating color.

Seeing this, Han Yi frowned, clasped one hand on the handle of the knife, and immediately came out of the sheath with a cold light, and the cold blade lay across Gou Buyuan's neck, "Presumptuous! What are you thinking?"

The sharp blade was pressed against the fragile neck, and Gou Buyuan immediately exclaimed: "No, no, no—I don't dare! I don't dare! Your lord, spare me!"

As he said that, he made a gesture to kneel down, and Han Yi did not allow the knife to cut his throat, but kept clinging to him and did not leave.

Xiao Yu just stared at Gou Buyuan with a half-smile, until he knelt down and asked, "Are you just Gou Buyuan?"

Gou Buyuan knelt on the ground, his middle-aged bloated figure seemed a bit funny, "Yes, yes, my subordinate Gou Buyuan paid a visit to the lord—I didn't know the lord was coming, but I was far away to welcome him, and I hope the lord will forgive me."

"Oh? I don't know?" Xiao Yu turned to look at Liu Wen at the end of the line, and said loudly, "Come here."

Liu Wen immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord."

"Gou Buyuan, look, do you recognize this person?"

Liu Wen looked down at Gou Buyuan, who shook his head blankly: "I don't know, this person is..."

When Liu Wen saw him, he didn't hide the disgust on his face, "Master Gou naturally doesn't recognize the young one. The young one is the gatekeeper of Zuncheng. He was ordered by the prefect of Zuncheng to go to the capital to ask for help. That's why he invited the prince. .”

"Zuncheng?" Gou Buyuan didn't know what he thought of, and his face became extremely ugly.

"So, Lord Gou, do you want to tell me why, as the head of a state, you did nothing and didn't report it immediately after the snow disaster happened?"

Xiao Yu slowly got off the carriage, stood in front of Gou Buyuan, and looked at him condescendingly, "The mighty No. [-] city in Suizhou doesn't even have a single soldier guarding the gate. Mr. Gou, are you wearing a black gauze hat on your head?" Enough? Do you want to give it to me together with your head?"
