"I obey your command!"
Zhang Yu cupped his hands and answered loudly.
The next second, everyone saw Zhang Yu flipping his palms together. They couldn't even see how Zhang Yu made the move. They just blinked and saw that Captain Yu had his hands tied behind his back.
Some brave people in the crowd actually started clapping.
"Hey, are you all dead? Ouch, it hurts... it hurts! Ouch... Ouch!" Captain Yu howled, his eyes scanning the group of city gate guards. "Let me go!"
But the guards all knelt down and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ning!"
Xia Yu stood proudly in the center, while Dao Yan behind him held high the token of King Ning.
[Emma, Daddy has become somewhat taller and more handsome for some reason!]
[I'm starting to like Daddy a little bit.]
Shen Yuyao raised her hand and pressed her brows, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
This time, Xia Yu has alerted the enemy.
"This humble servant pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Ning!"
"Your Highness Prince Ning!"
Hu la la la... When the common people at the city gate saw the officers and soldiers kneeling down, they all knelt down as well.
"Everyone, get up! Those who don't have a ivory card, go to the city gate, register, and follow me into the city!"
The people all cheered and rushed to the city gate guards to register.
"No wonder so many families have gone to Yanjing now."
"It is said that Yanjing is well governed, the people are prosperous, and there is never a curfew."
"I heard that Prince Ning treats the people of his vassal state very well, and that there are no harsh taxes in Yanjing."
"Hush...be careful not to be overheard by Prince Lu's spies..."
"Do you know? The reason the Prince of Lu is imposing a daily curfew is because families in Qingzhou City who lost their children have come to the capital to file a complaint."
"Prince Lu said that as long as the child wasn't lost in Qingzhou City, it has nothing to do with him."
"So now there are always children left outside the city, and everyone is rushing to send their children into the city every day to avoid danger."
"Shh... stop talking..."
"If the people of King Lu heard it, would you still be alive?"
"Prince Ning is still the best."
"Yes, Hello, Prince Ning!"
Shen Yuyao heard everything that was being discussed in the crowd.
[No wonder everyone likes being a high-ranking official. It's really that great.]
[Just doing a small good deed has earned you so much praise from the people! ]
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly. Even gods would like to hear nice words, let alone the prince?
Xia Yu turned around and helped the old man up. "Old man, do you have a place to stay tonight?"
The incident started because of the old man. Xia Yu was worried about Captain Yu, so he went to cause trouble for the old man while he was away.
The old man bowed and said, "Ahem... ahem... Your Highness, I just want to find a stable anywhere in the city, ahem... ahem... stay here with my grandson for one night, and then set off for Xijing tomorrow. Ahem... ahem..."
The old man kept coughing and seemed to be seriously ill.
The boy next to the old man patted him on the back gently, then looked up at Xia Yu with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
Xia Yu said: "Oh? Xijing?"
"That's right, cough... cough... I have a distant relative in Xijing, cough... cough... I want to take my grandson to seek refuge with him while I can still walk. Cough... cough..." the old man said slowly.
"In that case, old man, you can come with me to the inn tonight. Rest for a day so we can continue our journey tomorrow."
Xia Yu was still worried that the old man would be retaliated against because of what happened today.
"Old man, after dinner tonight, I have something I want to ask you."
"Then I would rather obey your command than not! Ahem... ahem... Thank you, Your Highness, for rescuing my grandson. Ahem... ahem..."
The old man's eyes were full of gratitude, but he was also worried that if Captain Yu wanted to take revenge, he would not be able to protect his grandson.
Now that Prince Ning has invited me, it would be disrespectful to refuse.
"Sanbao, come here, cough... cough..." The old man waved to his grandson, "Come and kowtow to Prince Ning, thank you for saving me. Cough... cough..."
The boy named Sanbao walked to Xia Yu's side obediently and kowtowed three times to him, "Sanbao thanks the prince for rescuing him!"
Xia Yu comforted him softly, "No need to be polite, baby. Take good care of your grandfather and come with us."
The boy answered yes and followed Xia Yu closely.
Xia Yu looked at Captain Yu, who was still in Zhang Yu's hands, pointed at him and said loudly: "As for you, hurry to Prince Lu's mansion and tell Lao Jiu that I am waiting for him at the posthouse regarding today's incident!"
Zhang Yufang then let go of Captain Yu and said coldly, "Get out! Why don't you get out now?"
Captain Yu's face was gloomy. He stood up angrily and walked quickly towards his horse without even saluting Xia Yu.
Maybe he got up too quickly, his legs felt weak, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground again.
He staggered a few steps, steadied himself, and finally reached the horse. When he stepped on the step to mount the horse, he slipped again. It took him several attempts before he was able to sit on the horse.
It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing.
Those people who had not left yet all burst into laughter.
Xia Yu was the emperor's legitimate son. Although Prince Lu was favored by the emperor, he was still a bastard's son after all.
Xia Yu originally wanted to make a secret visit, but in a fit of anger, he naturally walked into the scene.
Shen Yuyao took Xia Xiaoxian by the hand and walked to the old man's side and said, "Old man, follow me to the carriage and go to the posthouse."
Shen Yuyao was dressed in men's clothes, and the old man didn't know that she was a princess. He just thought she was an attendant of the palace, so he thanked her and followed Shen Yuyao to the carriage.
"Little brother, how old are you?" Xia Xiaoxian walked to the boy and pulled his sleeve.
The boy looked at a chubby little baby whose voice was exactly the same as the cute voice in the crowd just now. The boy immediately fell in love with the little baby.
The little baby is so cute and brave.
"Little sister, I'm six years old, how about you?"
"I'm almost two. What's your name?"
"My surname is Ma and my name is Sanbao." The boy answered softly.
"Ma Sanbao?"
Xia Xiaoxian began to flip through the book, "The Book of Three Lives", again.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't find anyone named Ma Sanbao. I guess he is just an ordinary person.
"Brother Sanbao, where are your parents?" Xia Xiaoxian asked, tilting her head.
Xia Xiaoxian is a famous immortal in the heavenly realm who loves gossip and melons.
"My parents are both gone. My father died in battle, and my mother died giving birth to me."
Ma Sanbao's eyes dimmed a little, "I still don't know what my parents look like."
Shen Yuyao was listening to the conversation between the two waiters and felt inexplicably sorry for Ma Sanbao.
She almost died of complications during childbirth when she gave birth to Xia Xiaoxian.
Several people got on the carriage, and the old man and Ma Sanbao were also shocked by its luxury.
The old man huddled together, thanked the driver repeatedly, and reluctantly sat in the corner of the car.
Xia Xiaoxian, however, pulled Ma Sanbao, lifted the car curtain, and started introducing them.
