The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 475 Finally arrived at Shaowu
The sun rises to the sky.

In the territory of Shaowu Army on Fujian Road, outside the main residence of Shaowu County, the Shaowu River gurgles past.

Women from a nearby village were washing their clothes by the stream, beating them with wooden sticks, making a loud bang.

But at this moment, the sound suddenly stopped.Several folk girls who were talking and laughing turned their heads to look upstream of the river.

Thousands of Taoist priests in ragged clothes, like beggars, are walking along the bank of Shaowu River.

Shao Wujun is located in the corner of Fujian, such situations are rare.

Yuan Zhenzi, Mrs. Xu and others led the Taoist priests from Mount Longhu, and after nearly ten days of trekking through mountains and rivers, they finally arrived in Fujian.

At the front of the crowd, Mrs. Xu and Yuan Zhenzi walked side by side. Mrs. Xu looked at the city towering on the river bank in the distance, with a smile on her slightly haggard face, "We have arrived in Shaowu County."

Yuan Zhenzi was relieved.

Traveling through the mountains with so many Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain, he had to worry about food issues all the time. Most of these burdens fell on him, the celestial master.

In the past, Zhang Tiandong was still there, and as a younger brother, he could be at ease.But now he understands how much responsibility he has on his shoulders as a celestial master.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many wild beasts in the mountains in this era, some Taoist priests would have starved to death on the way to Fujian.

Seeing Shaowu County far away at this time, he was really relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

All the Taoist priests in the back probably had such expressions.

This trip back to the Wuyi Mountains was an experience they had never encountered before.When I saw Shaowu County at this time, I really felt a new life.

This feeling is amazing, but it really exists.

At the moment, everyone's footsteps must be a little faster.

Passing by the river bank, Mrs. Xu asked when she saw a girl washing clothes, "Girls, is this Shaowu County?"

The folk girls all nodded their heads, then hurriedly turned around and continued beating on their clothes.

Women in this era are really afraid of meeting strangers, even the girls in the village are like this.Not to mention that there are thousands of Taoist priests at the moment, which looks really scary.

Mrs. Xu thanked her, and continued to Shaowu County with all the Taoists.

It looked close, but it was already half an hour later when they actually walked around the Huangtu official road from the river bank and were able to reach the north gate of Shaowu County.

The new national flag of the Song Dynasty is flying high above the city head, and in the middle of the city head, beside it, is the military flag of the Toutuo Army.

Mrs. Xu smiled again when she saw the "unusual" national flag.

Zhao Dongting asked her to bring the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain to Fujian, and now she has finally lived up to her trust.

However, at this time, the guards of the Toutuo Army outside the city gate and on the top of the city couldn't laugh.

It seems that there are thousands of Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain. They were a little confused, and then quickly pointed their spears outside.Some soldiers hurried towards the city.

The Tutuo army in Chengtou was also ready to fight, and they drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain below.

A general came to the top of the city and shouted to the city: "Who are you waiting for?"

If it weren't for the fact that the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain were all wearing Taoist robes, they would have thought that the Yuan army had come to attack the city.

Mrs. Xu looked up at the top of the city, and said: "I am enshrined in the Wuding Hall of the Great Song Dynasty. These are all the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain! They came from Longhu Mountain, please let me wait to enter the city!"

She threw a token towards the top of the city.

The token shot straight at the city head general.

The general took the token and saw the nine golden dragons on it, but he was stunned.

This token, of course, is Zhao Dongting's Nine Dragon Order, representing the highest level of imperial envoy.However, the general did not know him.

Most of the soldiers in the Toutuo Army had followed the Huang Hua uprising before and then surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty.They have never stayed in the Song Dynasty before, and they don't know much about the things in the Song Dynasty.

The general grabbed the token and looked at several pieces over and over again, saying: "What is this?"

Mrs. Xu at the bottom of the city couldn't help being a little speechless, she was stunned for a few seconds, and then said: "This is the Nine Dragon Order of my Great Song Dynasty, don't you know it?"

The corner of the general's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer.

Rao even in this slightly tense atmosphere, the soldiers beside him couldn't help laughing secretly.It's rare for them to see the general look like this!

The general glared at the soldiers next to him, and then shouted to the city: "You wait outside the city first, I will report this to the county magistrate."

The Toutuo Army is still implementing the system of the Yuan Dynasty. The military and government in the city are not divided, and the county magistrate commands the affairs of the whole city.

Although Mrs. Xu wanted to go to the city now, she couldn't say anything, so she nodded.

The Toutuo soldiers outside the corridor ran into the city, but they closed the city gates.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but turned her head to Yuan Zhenzi and said: "The soldiers under General Huang Hua are really cautious."

Yuan Zhenzi chuckled, "Although we are wearing Taoist robes, we all carry weapons. It is normal that they dare not let us enter the city."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said nothing more.

In this way, nearly two quarters of an hour passed before the city gate was finally opened again.

There were more than a dozen people gathered outside the city, and they glanced at the thousands of Taoist priests in groups from time to time.

At this time, the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain can't see much fairy spirit.

A middle-aged official wearing an official robe and an official hat with long wings on his head galloped out first, with a smile on his face.Followed by more than ten officials and soldiers.

He galloped up to the Taoist priests, got off his horse, took out the Nine Dragon Order from his sleeve robe, and said respectfully, "Which one is the imperial envoy?"

As the county magistrate, his knowledge is obviously not comparable to that of the general on the top of the city.

Mrs. Xu took two steps forward and said, "I am an imperial envoy, are you the magistrate of Shaowu County?"

The county magistrate bowed slightly, handed the token back to Mrs. Xu, and said, "It's the minister. The minister pays his respects to the imperial envoy."

Mrs. Xu used to be the leader of the She people, and her aura was still very scary.

She nodded slightly and said, "Let me wait to enter the city quickly!"

The county magistrate hurriedly shouted at the guards behind: "Quickly get out of the way, let the imperial envoy and all the Taoist chiefs enter the city!"

The generals guarding the city didn't know about Longhu Mountain, but as the magistrate of Shaowu County, he received a letter from Huang Hua.He knew something about Longhushan.

Mrs. Xu walked into the city first.

The county magistrate and several Shaowu county officials followed respectfully.

And when they heard the identity of Yuan Zhenzi and others, their attitude became even more respectful.

Shao Wujun is not far from Longhu Mountain, and there are also many followers of Longhu Mountain here.Every year, people travel across mountains and rivers to Longhu Mountain to offer incense and pray for blessings.

When she arrived in the city, Mrs. Xu said to Yuan Zhenzi: "Tianshi, let the priests take their disciples to the inn for dinner. How about we wait here for the emperor to come?"

Yuan Zhenzi naturally had no objection.

During the few days in the mountains, no one could eat enough to eat, even the Taoist priests could not bear such suffering.

At that moment, he asked Qingsongzi, Qingyunzi and other Taoist priests of the younger generation to take their disciples to find the inn, and told them not to leave Shaowu County.

Although it must be a big expense for thousands of people to stay in the hotel, Longhushan can still afford this amount of money.

After all the Taoist priests left in groups, there were only a dozen ancestors left.The county magistrate hurriedly said to the side: "The minister has hosted a banquet in the government office, and I also invite the imperial envoy and the Taoist priests to move to the government office."

He really didn't have the confidence to ask him to invite thousands of Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain to dinner.

Mrs. Xu and the others did not refuse, and followed the county to the government office.The emperor didn't know when he would come to Fujian, and they had to stay in the city for a while, and it would be no harm to deal with the county magistrate a lot.

Today's Shaowu County is always lively because of the arrival of Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain.Especially the bosses of the inn in the city, they were all so happy from ear to ear.

Two more days passed like this.

The Song army really took control of Yongfu County, and the city gradually returned to calm, and the figures of the common people appeared on the streets again.

The Song army did not disturb their lives, as if they had just changed people to guard the city, which surprised and puzzled the people.Because of the war before, it has never been so peaceful.

There were also rumors gradually spread among the neighbors that the Great Song Army did not harm the common people, and various rumors when they were in Guangxi.This made many people's favor towards Song Jun suddenly increase.

And in Gutian County, the Toutuo Army, which had been coercing Gutian outside the city for more than two days, suddenly pulled out their camp in the early morning, and the army retreated in mighty force.

Huang Hua received a letter from Wen Tianxiang, knowing that Yongfu County had been captured, so he wouldn't stay here any longer.

The Jiangnan Yuan Army could arrive at any time, and Wen Tianxiang gave him the task of annihilating the Jiangnan Yuan Army as much as possible.Only in this way can we pull out our hands again and work together to deal with Gao Xing.

When Yongfu County was captured, the Flying Army was constrained, which made Wen Tianxiang realize that it is not easy to annihilate happiness with the army in his hands alone.

The whole of Fujian, just two days after the great battle in Yongfu, has quietly returned to peace.But in the dark, there are surging winds and clouds.
