Wu Ge clasped his fists and said, "As you wish!"
Nangong Lian'er sat beside Zhao Huan and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are very considerate and have not disturbed the people along the way. This is what a wise ruler does. You are much better than those emperors throughout history who were obsessed with ostentation. When we return to the palace, let the censor write a good report about it. Perhaps your Majesty's journey will be remembered forever."
Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Who said that? I only seek peace of mind when I act. As for how history books will judge me a hundred years from now, I don't care."
As the two were talking, the sedan suddenly stopped. Zhao Huan was secretly annoyed, thinking that another official must have blocked the road to greet them. At this time, the guards of the leading troops had returned to report.

"Your Majesty, there are people blocking the road ahead to complain." The guard bowed.
"Your Majesty, do you want to drive them away?" asked another guard beside him.
Zhao Huan was furious: "The people have grievances and come to me for redress. You drive them away? Do you want me to be a tyrant?"
The guard was so frightened that he fell to the ground and begged for mercy: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
A small guard was not enough for Zhao Huan to bother with him: "Go, bring the person who blocked the sedan chair here!"
The guard bowed and took the order and left. Zhao Huan opened the sedan chair and walked out with Nangong Lian'er.

The young woman held up a petition with blood written on it. She cried, "Your Majesty, please help me!"
PS: I would like to recommend a book called "Xing Qin" written by the same author, which also writes about the Qin Dynasty.
