The pedestrians and merchants who entered and exited the city immediately retreated in a panic and took refuge on both sides of the official road, and two rows of sergeants in bright armor with spears in hand ran out, leaving the city gate and lined up neatly on the official roads on both sides.
Immediately afterwards, two horses took the lead, and on horseback a young man dressed in a fine costume and a golden crown looked dignified and noble, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and smiling proudly; On the other horse, there was a civil official, about forty years old, with an elegant complexion and a slightly dark complexion.
The golden-crowned youth and the middle-aged civil official walked side by side, followed by dozens of fierce retinues, and finally the two rows of sergeants automatically divided into two columns and followed behind the guard.
At a glance, it can be seen that these two people are the dignitaries in Pengcheng, that is, Xuzhou City.
There can be more than 100 sergeants to escort them, which obviously shows that the identity and status of these two people are not simple.
Kong Sheng didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly glanced at Mu Changfeng and the three of them, and the four of them quickly dismounted, led the horses to retreat on the outside of the official road, bowed their heads slightly, and did not look at the traveling magnates.
In fact, not only them, but all the passing travelers and businessmen on both sides of the official road are probably like this, the so-called strict hierarchy between the government and the people, and the travel of the big people in the government, it is a sin for them to take a second look.
Kong Sheng thought that this team of people was passing by, but unexpectedly, they stopped a few hundred meters away from the city gate, which is where Kong Sheng's four people were.
The golden-crowned young man and the middle-aged civilian official were chatting and laughing on the horse, while the sergeant Hu Cong behind him had a solemn face, a neat military appearance, and waited in line.
Is this someone to greet Kong Sheng said secretly in his heart.
A dense sound of horses' hooves like thunder galloping from far and near, Kong Sheng subconsciously glanced at the smoke and dust, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and he vaguely guessed something.
Sure enough, it was the kung fu of the tea, and dozens of horses galloped in.
The first was a middle-aged beardless man with an ugly face wrapped in a heavy fur cloak riding proudly on a tall horse, and the one who galloped with him was a young man in green clothes with a beautiful and picturesque eyebrows This Fengyang county lord Li Xuan can also understand that since the separation of Wangjiabao, she escorted the grain and grass to return to Pengcheng, Jiangbei overnight, because Kong Sheng and his party were delayed for two days in the Chemen cottage, and it was reasonable for Li Xuan's men to catch up.
But how did the great eunuch Li Fuguo get mixed up with Li Xuan again, after he escaped from Jiangning, he did not choose to return to Lingwu outside the Saiwai, but unexpectedly fled to the territory of King Yu of Jiangbei, which was discovered by Li Xuan In fact, his guess was pretty much the same.
Li Fuguo is also a cunning and treacherous person, he knows that if he escapes back to Lingwu, then Yang Qi will definitely set up heavy troops to block him along the way, and he will not be able to escape far before he will be caught and his life will be guaranteed; So he simply took a risk, disguised as a merchant and fled to Jiangbei in a panic, and inadvertently bumped into Li Xuan's grain caravan.
Li Xuan found out that he was a special envoy of the imperial court, and the great eunuch beside the emperor, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and sent someone to inform King Li Ju of Yu, which led to the scene of King Yu going out of the city to greet him.
As for how Li Fuguo mysteriously disappeared from the Wangjiang Tower and under the noses of Yang Qi's subordinates, no one knows for the time being, only Li Fuguo himself knows it.
Li Fuguo sat proudly on the horse, wrapped in a cloak and shrunk around his neck, with a rebellious smile on his ugly face.
The embarrassment of fleeing for his life has long been swept away, and it has been replaced by the reserve and condescension of the imperial court and the celebrities around the emperor.
Li Xuan frowned darkly on the side.
She really can't get used to this Li Fuguo's style, but as a royal clan, she knows that the great eunuchs around the emperor can't afford to offend, although she has a lot of disdain in her heart, she can only endure it.
He squinted his eyes and glanced at the golden-crowned young man and the middle-aged civil official not far in front of him, and saw the two of them turn over and dismount and walk to bow and salute, so he grinned contentedly and returned the salute.
"Li Chuan, the prince of King Yu, and Xue Sheng, the commander of Pengcheng County, were ordered by His Royal Highness King Yu, the general manager of the Jiangbei Soldiers and Horses Marching in Henan, and His Royal Highness the King of Henan Jiedu, to welcome the late arrival of the Qin mission, and please forgive the sin."
Li Fuguo heard that Li Ju actually sent his son Li Chuan and the county guard of the city out of the city to greet him, which could be regarded as giving him enough face.
He grinned and hurriedly replied: "The miscellaneous family was called to inspect the south and north of the Yangtze River, and His Royal Highness King Lao Yu and Lord Xue went out of the city to greet them, and the miscellaneous family was ashamed. ” Li Xuan almost couldn't help laughing when she heard that Li Fuguo had turned his escape from Jiangnan into "being called to inspect Jiangnan and Jiangbei".
She said in her heart, this ugly eunuch is really shameless, if it weren't for the county lord, your so-called envoy would have died a long time ago, and what kind of stinky score would you have put up As for why Li Fuguo fled Jiangnan in a hurry, he just prevaricated, and Li Xuan did not ask in detail.
But she guessed that Li Fuguo escaped from Jiangnan for some reason, just look at his miserable and embarrassed appearance at that time.
Li Fuguo's imperial gold medal and imperial edict were not fake, and his own eunuch identity could not be faked, Li Xuan sent someone to inform his father Li Ju in line with the principle of prudence, and brought Li Fuguo to Jiangbei.
Mu Changfeng secretly glanced at Kong Sheng's face, saw that his brows were tightly knit, and knew what he was worried about.
Entangled with Li Xuan's various "grievances", Wangjiabao Kong Sheng released Li Xuan, the noble county lord's pigeon, if Li Xuan was allowed to see the four of them, a big trouble might come again.
But Mu Changfeng didn't know that Kong Sheng was not worried about Li Xuan, but Li Fuguo.
Why did Li Fuguo flee from Jiangning, he knew better than anyone else, if this Li Fuguo made a statement to King Yu or simply wrote to the imperial court to prove that Yang Qi had the intention of rebellion, Yang Qi would probably jump into the Yangtze River and not be able to wash it.
An Lushan's rebels were in power, and Li Heng's imperial court's fear of various feudal towns could be imagined, and once Li Ju and Li Fuguo were presented at the same time, the crisis of Yang Qi and the Yang family was imminent.
For Yang Qi, Kong Sheng doesn't have too much concern, and even more disgust than affection; But Yang Xueruo is in love with him after all, Yang Qi was labeled as a major crime of rebellion, and the Yang family has no eggs under the nest, and Yang Xueruo is also in danger.
Kong Sheng can not care about Yang Qi, but he can't care about Yang Xueruo and the Yang family behind her.
At this moment, he couldn't help but slander Yang Qi in his heart, and secretly said that this person was really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he actually allowed Li Fuguo to flee Jiangning, and Li Fuguo, a mere eunuch, couldn't look at it, what else could he do As soon as he thought of this, he stomped his feet a little upset, slowly raised his head, and looked at Li Chuan and the others who were politely greeting each other. oshow7 t1706231537:
