Chapter 117 Murong Yi Arrives in Northwest City
"Let's go back first."
Su Yue was thinking that she hadn't been home for several days and was afraid that her elder brother was worried about them because of the incident that happened before.
The most important thing is to find a way to distribute the grain seeds to the people when we get back so that they can plant them quickly and have a harvest next year.
Before going back, Su Yue collected enough sea water in the space, and then Murong Li still carried her on his back to climb the rocks.
On the other side, Murong Yi and his party hurried and finally arrived at the gate of Northwest City. Since the robbery and murder in the Jiaoshan Canyon, they had a smooth journey and that thing had not appeared again.
At this time, a convoy came from the opposite direction.
When the convoy saw them, they immediately stopped by the roadside to give way.
Murong Yi was dressed in gorgeous clothes with an extraordinary temperament, riding a tall and handsome horse. There were also about a hundred people led by General Tian who looked very imposing. It was obvious that these people were from prominent backgrounds.
As they passed by the convoy, as luck would have it, when Jun Wushuang lifted the curtain and looked outside, his eyes met Murong Yi's.
The convoy stopped and Jun Wushuang was just curious to see who they were making way for. She never thought that it was the person who made her grit her teeth.
Her pupils shrank and she quickly lowered the car window curtains. Her heart was pounding. How could she run into Murong Yi here?
The moment Murong Yi and Jun Wushuang's eyes met, he felt an inexplicable beating in his heart.
He is not young anymore, and having lived a second life, he is several dozen years old in both lives, but there is still no woman who makes him excited.
After the two teams hurriedly passed each other, Murong Yi was still looking back at Jin Wushuang's carriage.
Jun Wushuang is not the kind of woman who is stunningly beautiful and charming, but she is also good-looking and looks gentle and lovely, which is exactly the type he likes.
In the carriage, Mrs. Liu saw her daughter's pale face. As soon as she saw Murong Yi through the curtains, she guessed about 70% of the answer.
Madam Liu sighed in her heart. She didn't want to have any interaction with Prince Yi, but she didn't expect to meet him here.
What a bad fate.
"Shuang'er, is that Murong Yi?" Madam Liu asked again.
Jun Wushuang nodded.
When Madam Liu saw this, her eyes darkened, and she believed more and more what Jun Wushuang said in his dream. She had never been to the capital and didn't know any Prince Yi at all.
And just now she had also caught a glimpse of Murong Yi, whose temperament was as gentle as jade and extremely noble. If you think about it carefully, he looked a bit like Murong Li.
Madam Liu patted Jun Wushuang and said, "Don't be afraid, Shuang'er. We have left now. After we arrive in Beijing, let your grandfather find a wife as soon as possible. We will not have anything to do with him in the future."
No matter how much she disliked this daughter, she was still her own flesh and blood after all. She couldn't bear to see her suffer in the future. More importantly, the Jun family couldn't allow the tragedy of being wiped out to happen again.
Jun Wushuang nodded. The way Murong Yi looked at her just now seemed to show that he was very interested in her.
There was a burning warmth in his eyes, whereas before they were so cold and distant.
She had a premonition that she would be entangled with Murong Yi in this life.
So when Madam Liu said this, she didn't refuse at all.
I must get rid of Murong Yi and that nightmare in this life.
When Murong Yi and his entourage arrived at the city gate, General Tian handed the documents to the guards for inspection. Murong Yi dismounted and walked towards a soldier. He took out a silver coin from his pocket and gave it to the soldier. He pointed at the carriage team that had already gone away and asked, "Whose carriage team is that? Where are they going?"
The soldier was so frightened by Murong Yi's imposing aura that he didn't even dare to take the silver. He nervously followed the direction of Murong Yi's finger and said tremblingly, "Sir, the convoy that just left the city was the Jun family's convoy. They should be heading to the capital."
"The Jun family's convoy?" Murong Yi seemed to be lost in thought. Jun family? There weren't many people with the surname Jun in Xifeng State. The current Grand Tutor was also surnamed Jun. I heard that Grand Tutor Jun's hometown was in this Northwest County.
Murong Yi's eyes darkened. There was a severe drought in the Northwest County, and it was impossible for Grand Tutor Jun not to know about it, while the court had just received the memorial.
Did the emperor already know about it and ignore it, or did Tutor Jun know about it but kept it secret?
hehe……
This Jun family is interesting.
I will definitely visit Tutor Jun after returning to Beijing.
"You don't know the Jun family?"
The Jun family is very famous in the northwest city. Seeing that the young man didn't know about the Jun family, the soldier couldn't help but ask.
Murong Yi looked at him and nodded.
How could he know the specific situation of the Jun family when he hadn't even entered the gate of Northwest City?
"Young Master, you don't know the Jun family. You must be from another place. The old man of the Jun family is the current imperial tutor. He is a household name in our Northwest City."
The soldier looked as if he had suddenly understood something, and there was a sense of pride in his words, as if Master Jun was his ancestor.
A few days ago, he heard that the Jun family was selling a large number of shops and farms, and even their ancestral home. They must have sold all these to go to the capital.
Murong Yi knew what he wanted to know and didn't want to listen to the soldier anymore. He put the silver in the soldier's hand and went into the city with General Tian and others. A soldier led them to the county magistrate's mansion.
Soldier...
The soldier came back to his senses, smiled and bit the silver with his teeth. The silver was real. The young man was very generous and gave him ten taels of silver.
"Drinks tonight."
The soldier next to him nudged him and said.
The soldier glanced at him and asked, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"
The soldier's face turned dark. Wasn't he frightened by the noble young man's aura?
"Stingy, huh!"
The county magistrate had received a report earlier that Murong Yi had arrived in Northwest City, so he and his men from the county magistrate's office were waiting in front of the government office.
The master had already made arrangements and had to entertain them warmly. They would not find anything when they came to Northwest City, so they had to keep them.
But Murong Yi is sharp and cunning, and not easy to fool, so he has to be brought into the mansion first.
I wanted to receive him at the post station, but the post station was too shabby and I thought the prince would not like it.
Seeing a group of people led by a soldier approaching in a mighty procession, the county governor waved his hand and trotted over with a group of officials. They all knelt before Murong Yi and said, "Your subordinates respectfully welcome Prince Yi and General Tian!"
"Please stand up, County Magistrate Wang." Murong Yi waved to the county magistrate.
The Northwest County Governor was an official appointed by the imperial court. The Ministry of Revenue had a list in hand. The Northwest County Governor was appointed and dispatched three years ago. His surname was Wang, and Murong Yi still remembered it.
Xifeng State has a total of thirty counties and one capital city. Each county has forty or fifty counties, and each county has hundreds of towns and countless villages.
The thirty counties were under the control of the imperial court, which was much simpler than the administrative system of the Huaxia Kingdom in Murong Yi's previous life, but much more complicated.
But he didn't know that the county governor in front of him was no longer the previous county governor Wang. Of course, the county governor would not explain this to Murong Yi and his group. He said respectfully, "Thank you, King Yi. Please come in."
Murong Yi took a look at the somewhat defeated County Magistrate's Mansion, and suddenly he had a creepy feeling, but the feeling was fleeting. He waved his hand and the group entered the inner court.
