Chapter 82 Yancheng
"Where's your prince?"

Xia Jing glanced at the car curtain, and Anu pulled the car curtain tight in fright, only her head was exposed outside.

When King Qian in the car heard Xia Jing's voice, he sat up suddenly, no longer looking like he was about to die just now, his fat body nimbly got down on the couch, and waved his hand to signal the maidservant to step aside.

Seeing King Qian's tense expression, the maidservant lowered her head and retreated silently to the corner farthest from King Qian, acting as an invisible person.

Anu stood in front of Xia Jing calmly, and smiled: "My lord was bumpy all the way, just fell asleep."

Xia Jing nodded knowingly: "Since he is sleeping, then I won't bother him, let him continue to sleep."

After finishing speaking, when he turned around, a whip hit the wall of Wang Jia's car.

With the sound of 'pop', Anu's body behind the curtain of the car trembled, and King Qian who was sitting inside was also unavoidably startled.

He cursed in his heart that he was blind back then and found such a dominatrix!
At this time, Zeng Yan and the chief guard got up in a hurry.

Zeng Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Princess, are you looking for this old slave?"

Xia Jing looked at him profusely with sweat, "What are you busy with?"

It was windy and cloudy outside, very cool.

"Back to the princess, this old slave is about to arrange for people to unload the carriage, set up camp, and then bury the pot for cooking." Zeng Yan stood up a little bit, feeling the coolness in the wind.

Xia Jing glanced at Wang Jia beside her, and said, "You don't need to unload the carriage, just arrange to pack up and set off again."

Zeng Yan glanced at the head of the guard, and smiled knowingly: "The princess is afraid that it will rain tonight, and the supplies on the carriage will be wet?"

"Well, it's not far from Yancheng here, everyone, keep going and try to reach Yancheng before it rains." Xia Jing frowned slightly, hoping that the rain would not fall so soon.

"But, my lord..." the chief guard wanted to say that the lord was so tired that his body was about to fall apart.

Xia Jing looked at him with a half-smile: "My lord is asleep, maybe when he wakes up, we have already arrived at Yancheng."

King Qian, who was sitting upright in the king's car, said, "."

Chief Guard: "."

In fact, he also wanted to rush to Yancheng before it rained, so it was better not to say anything about defending the prince, anyway, the prince couldn't hold back the princess in the end.

A smile flashed in Zeng Yan's eyes, "The old slave will make them prepare to continue on their way."

It didn't take long for the team to move again, and the speed increased significantly.

When the night fell, the team lit the torches, and with the night wind hunting, it looked like a fire dragon from a distance.

The fire dragon licks the tongue of fire like a ferocious beast with teeth and claws. If you are not careful, you may be afraid that the tongue of fire will ignite the supplies or hair.

Everyone ate dry food when they were hungry, and drank water when they were choked. As the wind became stronger and stronger, everyone knew that the wind and rain were violent, and this was the rhythm of rain.

When it was midnight, Xia Jing couldn't stay in the carriage any longer. She rode on the horse, feeling the moisture in the air, and a look of anxiety appeared on her usually calm face.

"Mother, look, that's Yancheng."

Just when Xia Jing couldn't bear it anymore and was about to send an order for everyone to camp on the spot, Li Chengmu's excited voice sounded.

Pointing to the fire at the foot of the mountain in front of him, he said: "I heard that Yancheng is located at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, it is indeed true!"

Looking at the fire at the foot of the mountain, Xia Jing lifted her spirits: "Everyone pay attention to your steps, keep the carriage steady, and don't rush down the road dam. Zeng Yan, you are in charge of the carriage carrying the goods. The chief guard asked the guards to take care of the entire team, and then sent The two rode to the gate of the city first, and communicated with the officers and soldiers guarding the city first, and we can enter the city when we arrive. Everyone strives to find an inn to stay before the rain falls."

"Yes, Princess, let's make arrangements now!" The chief guard and Zeng Yan agreed, turned around and went to work.

The destination was right in front of our eyes, and everyone's exhausted bodies felt like chicken blood had been spattered, and the lost strength returned.

Especially the servants in the team who didn't have a carriage, they were like legs filled with lead, but now they seem to be excited again.

When they arrive in the city, they will have hot food and soup, and there will be bunks for them to lie down and rest, which is a hundred times better than this wilderness.

Come on!

Just grit your teeth and it's here!

The county magistrate of Yancheng was galloping on his concubine's belly, when he heard the housekeeper's report, he was so frightened that he rolled off the bed.

He hurriedly put on his obscene clothes and opened the door, "What did you say? King Qian is here? Where is he? Take me to greet you!"

Saying that, he rushed out without hesitation.

The steward knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly followed him with a lantern, "My lord, my lord, go to the front yard and change into your official robes first, King Qian's team will arrive later, there is still time, don't worry! Take it easy! Come on, don't fall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the county magistrate staggered and fell to the ground as if he had kicked something.

"hiss!"

The butler patted his crow's beak, and hurried forward to help him, "My lord, are you alright?"

The county magistrate pushed him away, "Hiss! Rub your hands and scratch the skin, it's all right, let's go to the front yard quickly."

After all, the county magistrate got up and rushed to the front yard again.

The butler didn't dare to neglect this time, he took a step aside and raised the lantern beside the county magistrate to illuminate his way.

When all the officials of the county government arrived at the gate of the city, the team of Prince Qian's Mansion was only a few miles away from the gate.

The county magistrate was obviously relieved, but fortunately he arrived in time.

He turned around and asked the housekeeper, "Has the inn for guests been cleared?"

The butler nodded: "Before we went out, the old slave had already ordered the head arrester to make arrangements."

While the two were talking, the front team was already approaching. The county magistrate excitedly straightened his official robes and corrected his official hat, ready to welcome King Qian.

"Who is in front, don't get in the way, get out of the way quickly, the team is going into the city!"

The chief guard in the distance noticed a group of people standing in front of the city gate blocking the way. Seeing that they saw the team rushing up, they didn't know how to get out of the way. He was anxious and waved his whip: "Get out of the way!"

The two guards who came to report the letter earlier were also in a hurry, "Master County Magistrate, please take them and get out of the way, the prince is in a hurry to enter the city!"

"what?"

The county magistrate blinked blankly. He felt raindrops hitting his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it away, and instantly recalled why King Qian was in such a hurry to enter the city.

It's just that before he had time to get out of the way, the chief guard's whip whizzed towards him, scaring him to instinctively jump to the side, narrowly dodging the whip from the chief guard.

The others reacted fairly quickly, and almost all dodged when the whip was swung.

The front team passed the city gate smoothly, and the rear team followed closely behind, entering the city in a mighty and orderly manner.

The county magistrate held his chest with lingering fear, and said to the steward beside him with a low voice: "This King Qian's behavior is really... If you don't know it, you think the bandits are attacking the city!"

"Hush!" The butler made a gesture of silence, "My lord, speak carefully!"

As soon as the team from Qian Wang's Mansion entered the city gate, heavy crackling raindrops fell.

"My lord, it's raining, let's hurry into the city!" the butler urged.

Other officials and small officials also got into their carriages one after another.

The rain came quickly and quickly, almost no more than half a stick of incense before and after, and the raindrops turned into torrential rain.

Yancheng, shrouded in night, was covered with another layer of rain and fog.
