Chapter 88 The Capital
Starting from Mingzhou, the weather was not good.The spring rain kept falling, making it difficult for the carriage to travel on the road.There is a landslide ahead, and cars and horses cannot pass.There is no village in front of us and no store in back. We need to find a place to stay as soon as possible.

They had a disagreement. Zheng Qiuyun wanted to retreat, but the eldest prince wanted them to take a detour and continue walking.Naturally, they listened to Zheng Qiuyun, and they borrowed a place to rest in a village near Mingzhou.

As soon as the rain stopped, they drove towards the capital and bypassed the landslide.The river ahead was swollen, and the boatman who had originally ferried the boat was nowhere to be found.

Zheng Wenping got off the carriage and used a bamboo pole to test the depth. He and Zheng Wuan could barely swim across.Zheng Qiuyun was afraid that it would be difficult, and he could not use bamboo poles to punt across the river.

The eldest prince said urgently: "You can't continue to retreat."

Zheng Qiuyun asked: "Why not?"

Indeed, as Zheng Qiuyun said, the eldest prince was in a hurry to go to the capital, fearing that if it was too late, the legitimate daughter of the Song family would become pregnant.

The eldest prince said angrily: "I have thick clothes in my carriage. Cut them into strips and braid them into ropes. Then I will find bamboo poles to make a bamboo raft. I will pull you to the head office on the other side."

Zheng Qiuyun said distressedly, "The carriage couldn't pass, and we lost a lot of silver."

The eldest prince took out the banknote from his arms and said, "I will compensate you. No matter how much it is, I will compensate you."

Zheng Qiuyun accepted the banknotes and said, "That's it."

Zheng Qiuyun would naturally be happy if someone took advantage of him.They gave the horse to the person who lent them a house, exchanged the carriage for a bamboo raft, and used a rope to pull the bamboo raft.

The eldest prince swam to the other side first. He was so wet that he couldn't change. Then he asked Zheng Wuan to throw the rope over.There was a stone tied to the rope, and Zheng Wuan was very strong. He threw it hard and reached the other side of the river.

Zheng Qiuyun was lying on the bamboo raft. The eldest prince picked up the rope and slowly tightened it. Zheng Wenping swam beside Zheng Qiuyun, always paying attention to prevent Zheng Qiuyun from falling into the river.

The water was flowing, so the bamboo raft tilted downstream. Zheng Wenping stretched out his hand to hold it up and straighten the direction.The eldest prince pulled Zheng Qiuyun over with marks on his palm.

Zheng Wuan hadn't come over yet, so he tied their clothes with stones and threw them to the other side of the river. Zheng Wenping bent down and picked them up.

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment before picking up a stone and throwing it at Zheng Wuan.Zheng Wenping drew his sword and put it on his neck, and there was a blood mark on the eldest prince's neck.

Zheng Wenping asked: "What are you doing?"

The eldest prince stopped his movements and lowered his eyes to look at the sword. "Don't misunderstand me. I just want him to go back and throw my clothes over."

When the two were in a stalemate, Zheng Wuan swam over and said, "Why should I help you throw away your clothes?"

The eldest prince was so angry that he swam over again, throwing his clothes over first, and then swam from the other side of the river to this side.

Zheng Wu'an was very vengeful and threw two stones into the river, causing water to splash on the eldest prince's face.His face was gloomy, and he had no choice but to swim forward.

There was a forest on the other side of the river. Zheng Wenping picked up some dry branches to make a fire, and Zheng Wuan caught two wild rabbits.Peel it off neatly and roast it over the fire.

Zheng Qiuyun planted a few long branches in the forest, blocked the outside view with his clothes, and then began to change out of his wet clothes.

The eldest prince shook the water from his hair and wanted to collect some firewood and catch some wild rabbits like the two of them.

Zheng Wuan pointed at him with a dry branch, "You can't go."

The eldest prince sneered, "Why can you go but I can't?"

With that said, he raised his feet and was about to walk in. Zheng Wenping and Zheng Wuan came over to stop him.Zheng Qiuyun heard their movements inside and said directly: "I'm changing clothes."

The eldest prince's feet that were still about to break in suddenly changed direction, pretending to be calm and returned to the place where he put the wet clothes, and found a way to dry those clothes.

Seeing Zheng Qiuyun come out with his own eyes, he went in to pick up branches again.

For the next half day, the eldest prince stopped urging and remained silent without saying a word.When their clothes were half dry, they continued walking.

Before arriving in Fuzhou, the eldest prince started to have a fever.He staggered on the road, his face flushed, and his energy was low.After forcing himself to reach Fuzhou, he asked Zheng Qiuyun: "I'm sick and I need to rest for half a day."

Zheng Qiuyun smiled and said, "This is the delay in your schedule, but you can't blame us."

When they arrived at the nearest inn, Zheng Qiuyun sat at the table and saw the eldest prince going to the room he had reserved.He almost fell down while climbing the stairs, and waved his hand, "No need to help me."

Zheng Qiuyun looked at Zheng Wenping on the left, and then at Zheng Wuan who was drinking water. It seemed that no one wanted to help him.

Not only was there no one to help him, there was no one to take care of him, and I don't know how he managed to survive. He lay in the inn for two days, and when he came out again, he looked cold again, and his face was no longer red.

"Go."

Zheng Qiuyun and the others had nothing to do these two days. They walked around Fuzhou and bought a new carriage.

When the eldest prince was about to get into the carriage, Zheng Qiuyun said, "I bought this carriage. If you use it, you have to pay me."

The eldest prince frowned, "Didn't I give you all my money?"

Zheng Qiuyun said in surprise: "You are a prince, and you only have so much money?"

The eldest prince rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Ignorant woman, I am recuperating in Zhutian Village. Don't I need money?"

Being scolded for no reason, Zheng Qiuyun also felt angry. After getting on the carriage, he asked the driver to move forward, regardless of whether the eldest prince could keep up with them.

The eldest prince pawned his jade pendant, bought a carriage, and drove forward by himself without hiring a driver.Zheng Qiuyun ate delicious food, while the eldest prince went into the forest to catch hares.Zheng Qiuyun and his party stayed at the inn, and the eldest prince slept directly in the carriage.

Along the way, no one spoke to anyone.

After finally walking for a while, Zheng Qiuyun and the others arrived in the capital.The officers and soldiers checking the city gate were wearing armor, and noises could be heard when they moved.A line of soldiers came out of the city gate with spears in hand, marching in unison, steady and powerful.

Entering the city, Zheng Wenping said with emotion, "The city is lined with pearls, the houses are filled with luxury goods, and the luxury is high."

Zheng Wuan envied: "When will I be able to wear such good armor?"

Jiang Cheng also sneaked in and tutted, "This building is so damn high, and this street is so damn wide."

A group of imperial guards arrived, knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to the eldest prince."

The eldest prince endured all the way and finally returned to his own territory. He directly issued an order: "Get them!"

"Yes!"

The leader of the Forbidden Army faced Zheng Wu'an, and the other Forbidden Army rushed towards them waving their spears.The guards around Zheng Qiuyun were not timid either. They drew their swords and fought against the imperial guards.

"on!"

The people led by Jiang Cheng suddenly appeared and joined in, causing a melee at the city gate.Zheng Wenping and Chu Lian subconsciously protected Zheng Qiuyun, and Zheng Qiuyun cocked the crossbow without mercy.

Zheng Wu'an defeated the enemy with several moves, grabbed the head of the leader of the imperial army, put the sword on his neck, and was about to cut him off, when the eldest prince saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly said: "Stop!"

Zheng Wuan shouted angrily: "Let your people retreat."

"Stand back!" The eldest prince ordered, and the imperial army obeyed, and the bandit soldiers on Zheng Qiuyun's side also took advantage of the situation and stopped their actions.
