Steel Dynasty - Chapter 381

[Chapter 381 Return to Chang’an]

Feng Deshui was inspecting Prince Qi’s Mansion. He was a little envious of the two tall water towers in the Prince’s Mansion.

He instantly understood that this was the same as the water tower in front of the Wei family restaurant.

Today is the day when King Qi goes to Chang’an. He specially waited at King Qi’s mansion to prepare to set off with King Qi.

He was quite reluctant to stay in the Wei family restaurant for two days, but the day to go to Beijing could not be delayed. For this reason, King Qi also hurriedly ended the award ceremony.

He also learned a little about this award ceremony from the next day’s newspaper. From this, he also understood more about King Qi’s maverick behavior. He understood the officials and generals, but he really couldn’t understand Xiao Ming’s treatment of civilians and generals. Merchants will also be awarded titles.

“Hey, Your Highness, this trip to Chang’an will cost you again.” When Feng Deshui saw the carriages coming one after another in front of the palace, the spy’s voice suddenly rose an octave higher.

After the award ceremony, Xiao Ming was preparing to go to Chang’an. He spent the past two days preparing supplies for the trip.

“Shilang Feng is joking, these are just small gifts.” Xiao Ming smelled a strong scent of perfume before he got in front of Feng Deshui.

Coupled with Feng Deshui’s feminine qualities, he has a strange image of “not even giving him a hundred dollars”.

Feng Deshui laughed softly, and then he looked at Luluo and Aster who were following Xiao Ming. He immediately raised his hand and patted Xiao Ming gently, “Your Highness, you have been blessed these past two days.”

Feng Deshui said as he said this. While looking at the aster and pothos with my eyes.

Aster and Pothos suddenly felt unnatural when Feng Deshui looked at them like this.

Xiao Ming immediately understood what Feng Deshui meant. He was a little helpless. This old eunuch had been in the palace for a long time and was so proficient in this kind of thing. He understood what happened just by looking at it.

Xiao Ming smiled solemnly, but Xiao Ming didn’t care. After all, Feng Deshui was an eunuch. He said, “Thanks to Feng Shilang’s auspicious words, Feng Shilang will wait a little longer. When the personal guards arrive, I will set off.”

As soon as he finished his words .

, suddenly there was a sound of horse hoofbeats in front of the door, and Luo Xin and Qi Guangyi walked in.

“Your Highness, all the troops are here and it’s time to set off.” Luo Xin said loudly.

Xiao Ming nodded. This time he did not take Lu Fei with him. Apart from Niu Ben, Lu Fei and Luo Xin were his two most capable men.

Now Niu Ben has to stay in Qingzhou to take charge of army expansion, Luo Xin has to go to Chang’an, and Lu Fei can only go to guard Shanhaiguan.

After all, it goes without saying that Shanhaiguan is important. Compared with Luo Xin, he has more confidence in Lu Fei to guard Shanhaiguan.

In addition to Luo Xin, Niu Ben also sent Qi Guangyi to him. Qi Guangyi was proficient in cavalry. This time Xiao Ming went to Chang’an with five thousand cuirassiers.

These five thousand cuirassiers are not afraid even if they fight in an encounter. This is also for the sake of Xiao Ming’s safety.

The cavalry came and went like the wind, making it ideal for long journeys.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming nodded and asked Luo Xin and Qi Guangyi to wait for a while. He was still waiting for the military workshop to send something.

Not long after, Chen Qi and the craftsman came over carrying several large boxes, and he was holding a small box in his arms.

“Your Highness, the stuff has arrived.” When Chen Qi spoke, he winked at Xiao Ming and gestured to the small box in his arms.

Because he saw Feng Deshui looking around.

Xiao Ming nodded knowingly and asked him to go back, and then said to Feng Deshui: “Servant Feng, it’s time for us to set off.”

Hearing this, Feng Deshui looked in the direction of the Wei Family Restaurant with some reluctance, and then left the palace and sat down. In a well-prepared sedan chair.

In the center of the team was a large sedan, which was twice as big as Feng Deshui’s sedan and could hold three people inside.

Xiao Ming led Zi Wan and Lu Luo onto the sedan chair.

Everything was ready. Luo Xin and Qi Guangyi got on their horses and stood on both sides of the sedan. When Xiao Ming gave the order to set off, the entire team moved forward.

Outside Qingzhou City, Pang Yukun led a group of officials to see Xiao Ming off. Before leaving, he told him a few words before Xiao Ming set off for Chang’an.

Xiao Ming prepared such a big sedan this time not for himself, but for Fei Yue’er. After all, after the wedding in Chang’an, Fei Yue’er would return to Qingzhou with him.

Sitting in a sedan chair covered with fur carpets, Xiao Ming placed the box given to him by Chen Qi on the table in the middle.

At this time, Zi Wan asked: “Your Highness, what is this?”

“Musket.” Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Then he opened the box, and inside were indeed two well-made short-barreled muskets. The butts of the muskets were made of peach wood with carved patterns. The length of the muskets was only thirty centimeters, but the barrels were thicker. This was for the sake of power.

Such a musket was enough for Xiao Ming to hide under his clothes and carry it around.

With the musket for self-defense, Xiao Ming has the power to protect himself when he suddenly faces an assassin. No matter how capable you are, this musket can kill him with one shot.

“Is this a weapon used by the Qingzhou military?” Luluo asked in surprise.

Xiao Ming nodded, “This is so powerful that it can kill a tiger.”

Luluo was timid, and when she was told this, her face turned pale with fright.

Zi Yuan took another musket and looked at it with interest, then pointed the barrel at herself. Xiao Ming was startled when he saw it and immediately snatched it away, saying angrily: “You are risking your life, this musket There are bullets and ammunition inside. “

Xiao Ming was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If this happened, Zi Wan’s life would be lost.

After being scolded by Xiao Ming, Zi Wan curled her lips and said coquettishly: “It takes more than ten days to go to Chang’an. It’s really boring.”

Xiao Ming put away the musket and said with a smile: “How could it be boring? What? Such a big sedan is enough for us to play with.”

Zi Wan didn’t understand it at first, but after carefully understanding Xiao Ming’s words, she immediately blushed. But she was new to human affairs, and she couldn’t help but be charming. .

Amid the playfulness of aster and pothos, the team successfully arrived in Chang’an ten days later.

At this time, both Xiao Ming and Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally safe.

Before the team arrived, the post general had already spread the news to Chang’an in advance, so when they arrived in Chang’an, Xiao Wenxuan had already sent officials to wait at the city gate to know about Xiao Ming and his party.

“Your Majesty, your Majesty personally sent someone from the Ministry of Etiquette to greet him this time, which shows that your Majesty attaches great importance to His Majesty.”

Feng De got off the carriage with a smile on his face.

The last time they came to Chang’an, they were made things difficult by the city gate guards. Now Xiao Wenxuan is more meticulous.

Nodding, he said to Feng Deshui: “Please, Mr. Feng, please go back to Chang’an this time. I hope Mr. Feng can take care of you.”

“What did your Highness say? I still want to visit Qingzhou more in the future. When I return to Chang’an this time, I hope you can take care of me.”

I will serve as your Majesty’s lord.”
