The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 800: The streets are empty [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

“There are too many people!”

Mo Ya, who was in charge of providing escort, felt really stressed when he saw the people of Wu County standing in large numbers on both sides of the road and even in the paddy fields.

If the enthusiastic people rush forward, they will not be able to fight them or stop them, and problems will easily arise.

As for the possibility that Yan Yan would be assassinated in Wu County, there is no need to worry about that.

If someone really dared to assassinate Yan Yan in Wu County, the people of the entire Wu County would be able to surround the assassin.

This is the Emperor's hometown. No one will allow anyone to offend the Emperor's dignity or endanger his safety.

Yan Yan opened the car window and looked outside, feeling a little emotional.

When he came out, he had to blend into the caravan to go to Shouchun, and no one knew him. But now, the streets are deserted and people line the streets to welcome him.

"Your Majesty, please don't come out, otherwise I'm worried that it will cause a stampede among the people!"

Mo Ya leaned against the car window and said.

The enthusiasm in Wu County exceeded their expectations and was even more intense than in Bingzhou.

Mo Ya had no doubt that once Yan Yan stepped out of the royal carriage, those excited people would probably rush over desperately in order to see Yan Yan as clearly as possible and get a little closer to him.

Yan Yan nodded. He also knew how great his influence was in Wu County. If he really showed up on the official road, the incident that Mo Ya was worried about would definitely happen.

"Tell Magistrate Wu to take precautions to avoid unnecessary stampedes!" Yan Yan closed the car window.

Mo Ya rode his horse to find the head of the Yan family and Magistrate Wu and conveyed Yan Yan's intention.

The head of the Yan family and the magistrate of Wu County did not expect that Yan Yan's reputation in Wu County was so high. They felt their scalps tingling when they saw the common people who followed him. This was beyond their expectations. The county soldiers and yamen runners were really difficult to manage.

"Slow down and drive slowly towards Wu County!" Yan Yan said again.

Since all the people of Wu County had come, it would be inappropriate for him to hide his face, so he asked the people of Wu County to follow his carriage back to the county town, and then he would go up to the city wall.

The army's procession slowed down its pace and slowly walked back to Wuxian County with the people who had come out of the city to welcome them.

The head of the Yan family and Magistrate Wu also knew that Yan Yan would go up to the city tower to meet with the people, so they asked the county lieutenant to rush back first and cooperate with the army's guard of honor to clear a suitable environment at the city gate and tower, and at the same time inform the people so that they would not be confused.

"Is this the emperor's ceremonial guard?"

The people of Wu County were excited and shocked when they saw the imposing military procession.

An all-white cavalry guard, accompanied by solemn black armored soldiers, this was something the people of Wu County, a remote small county, had never seen before.

Anyone who has seen it with their own eyes will never forget it.

The people of Wu County were not afraid, but became more excited. In the future, they would have one more thing to brag about after dinner.

"What a pity that I didn't get to see the Emperor!"

Some people looked at the royal chariot in the middle, which was guarded by a large army of guards. Even when they were walking, their eyes were always on the four-horse chariot in the middle, hoping to catch a glimpse of the emperor's majesty.

The guards and soldiers entered the city first, took protective measures, and cleared a large open space for the people to pay their respects.

But there were too many people. Not only people from Wu County came, but people from the surrounding areas of Wu County also came in an endless stream.

Even though County Magistrate Wu and the head of the Yan family had made preparations, in the end the place was not big enough.

The royal chariot stopped at the foot of the city gate, and the people around became excited when they saw the chariot stopped.

"The royal chariot has stopped, the emperor is about to come out!"

The people all stretched their necks to be the first to see Yan Yan.

The carriage door opened and Nongyu stepped out of the carriage first.

"Is this the empress or the imperial concubine?" When the crowd saw Nanyue coming out, they were all amazed at her beauty and guessed her identity.

"Neither. That is the Emperor's sword attendant, the female official Nong Yu."

Someone who knows the situation came forward to introduce it.

"Wow, the swordsman is so beautiful, the emperor and his concubines must be so beautiful!"

The common people were envious, but they also felt that only such a beauty was worthy of their emperor.

After Nanyue walked out, she was also a little nervous. She had encountered the scene of being the focus of attention of thousands of people many times, but she was still very nervous.

As Nanyue walked out, Yan Lingji and Dugu Yanzhi also walked out of the carriage soon.

"Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has come out!"

The crowd instantly became excited.

Yan Lingji and Dugu Yanzhi looked at the people and the crowd around them, one on the left and one on the right, and bowed to the crowd gracefully.

"Greetings to the Emperor and Consort!"

In an instant, the crowd burst into uniform cheers.

“Although I’ve experienced this many times, it’s still very shocking!”

Yan Lingji and Dugu Yanzhi were talking in low voices, their eyes looking towards the carriage.

If this is the case when I come out, what will the scene be like when His Majesty and the Empress come out?
The crowd watching also held their breath, they knew that the Emperor would soon come out, and they stared at the door of the royal chariot intently.

It was just that the imagined emperor didn't see it, but a little head popped out first, looking around curiously, looking at the people around, as if frightened, and seemed to be pulled back by the people in the royal chariot, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It's the little princess, the eternal little princess!"

The crowd was amused by Xiao Yun'e's behavior, as if they were looking at their own child, with their eyes full of doting.

"Wang Laosan, turn your head away, you are so ugly, you scared our little princess!"

The women, overflowing with maternal love, all spoke up.

The person whose name was called turned away depressedly.

In the royal chariot, a figure in red robes finally walked out amid everyone's expectations. Standing on the chariot, he looked around with an imposing manner.

"Greetings to the Great Emperor Xuanwu, may the Emperor live forever!"

As Yan Yan walked out, all the scholars bowed and saluted, and the common people followed suit.

Obviously, they all wanted to see Yan Yan's appearance, but with the appearance of the figure in red robes, they lowered their heads involuntarily and dared not look directly at the emperor's face. They only dared to look at the red robes.

Yan Yan smiled and nodded, raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, fellow villagers!"

The voice was gentle, like a spring breeze, without any sense of the arrogance and majesty of a superior, as if a gentle friend was talking to them in their ears.

So he raised his head involuntarily out of curiosity, and finally saw the face that was not handsome but very warm.

Yan Yan walked to the king's chariot, took Shao Siming's hand and walked out of the chariot.

"The Emperor is really... so gentle!"

The women watched this scene with envy.

However, the men were also envious when they saw Shao Siming, dressed in purple, carrying Xiao Yun'e out of the royal chariot.

As the hometown of the emperor, the deeds of Yan Yan, Shao Siming and others have long been spread in Wu County.
