".....Yes!" The officers rolled their eyes and responded helplessly.
Is this something that can be managed or not?
Anyone who hasn't eaten or drunk anything for three or four days and suddenly sees a table full of delicious food in front of them will probably lose control.
What's more, these are horses.
Fortunately, after eating for a while, the horse has regained some strength.
The officer pulled the reins forward, and the horse would move a few steps.
But the horse's mouth never left the weeds by the roadside.
As he moved forward, he kept chewing the grass in his mouth.
This is really a good way to eat and travel at the same time.
No matter what, the carriage was moving at least.
Qu Yutang watched the carriage finally move, and the anger in his heart was suppressed a little.
It is a 30-mile walk from the newly built city gate to the old city gate.
The carriage creaked and swayed until it was pitch dark before arriving at the gate of the old city.
Along the way, people were distributing dinner on both sides of the official road, and the smell of meat buns accompanied Qu Yutang all the way without stopping.
Qu Yutang's stomach also growled uncontrollably all the way.
It was the first time in the history of the Great Celestial Empire that an imperial envoy was starved to this extent.
If he had gone to other cities for inspection in the past, the people on the road would have surrounded him when they saw the imperial envoy coming.
Those who wanted to ask for permission would ask for permission, those who wanted to welcome him would welcome him, and those who wanted to watch the fun would watch. They would also send him various local specialties as a sign of respect.
As a result, his carriage had been in Qianhuang City for such a long time, but not a single citizen came to watch along the way.
The people were eating meat buns and drinking fragrant rice porridge, just smiling at his carriage from afar.
He felt like a complete joke, walking alone on the official road, with no one paying attention to him.
This huge sense of loss made Qu Yutang feel extremely uncomfortable.
When passing by Bailong City, there were still people watching curiously.
Why did the people of Qianhuang City treat him so lightly? With so many meat buns, didn't they just give him one to try?!
Qu Yutang pursed his cracked lips, swallowed his saliva, opened the car window and looked forward.
"Is there anyone here to greet us?!"
Normally, someone should have informed Magistrate Deng after his carriage entered Qianhuang City.
Even though the newly built city gate was far away from the prefectural government office, Prefect Deng should have arrived by now.
His carriage had been moving for more than an hour. Even if Magistrate Deng had to crawl, he should have reached the old city gate.
Qu Yutang frowned and glanced at the old city wall that had been demolished.
The traces on the ground clearly show that this place is the old city wall.
The difference between inside and outside the city wall is too obvious. On one side is a large open space, and on the other side are houses with bright lights.
The officers stretched their necks to look ahead, then lowered their eyelids in disappointment and replied,
"My Lord, no one has come to greet us."
Qu Yutang, “!!!”
This bastard, Magistrate Deng, really doesn't take him seriously.
No matter what, he is representing the emperor on this trip.
Even if Governor Deng has rebellious intentions, then...
A disloyal heart...
Why!
Qu Yutang sighed deeply.
Magistrate Deng already had rebellious intentions, so how could he pay much attention to him, the imperial envoy representing the emperor?
Qu Yutang took a deep breath and said, "Let's find an inn to rest first."
He now had to put aside his airs as an imperial envoy and think carefully about how to deal with Prefect Deng.
It was already late, and if he rashly went to the prefectural yamen and was rejected, he would be even more embarrassed.
It is better to control all movements with stillness.
He found an inn to stay in and waited for Magistrate Deng to come find him when he could no longer hold back.
In this way, he could save some face as the imperial envoy.
.........
“Are you here!?”
Magistrate Deng glanced at the yamen runner who came in hurriedly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
This imperial envoy is really slow.
Two hours ago, he received the news that the imperial envoy was entering the city.
It was only 30 miles, but it took so long.
That official road has been repaired and is very flat.
It only took him half an hour to ride in a carriage from the old city gate to the new city gate.
The yamen runner knelt on one knee and replied,
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Envoy has settled down at the post station near the city gate."
"Staying up at the post station!?" Magistrate Deng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes." The yamen runner nodded. "They asked the people at the post station about Qianhuang City."
"The post station only said that they were following orders, but they didn't say whose orders they were following."
Everyone in Qianhuang City cherishes this hard-earned good day.
When the people at the post station saw that the other party was the imperial envoy from the capital, they immediately became alert.
It was naturally impossible for the officials to get anything out of the people at the post station.
The people at the post station wanted to drive the imperial envoy's inspection team out directly, and didn't want them to come to Qianhuang City to cause trouble.
However, the people at the post station only dared to think about it and did not dare to actually take action.
After the imperial envoy's people settled down, the people at the post station immediately told the yamen runners the questions they asked and their identities.
"Haha!" Magistrate Deng smiled slightly and put down his teacup.
"Let him guess. I want to see how long he can stay at the post station."
It is absolutely impossible to wait for him to invite you.
He is now close to King Qianhuang, and his status is much higher than Qu Yutang's.
