Chapter 284: Surrounded
"During these seven days, I will personally watch you take the antidote."
Jiang Xianhao nodded with an expectant smile on his face.
"Okay, Your Majesty, you must keep your word."
The second day.
Jizhou.
Because Gu Jingchun and his companions needed to change carriages and prepare necessary food for the journey, they went into the city.
This is actually a very common thing.
However, they did not expect that after entering the city, they would be surrounded by people.
After they bought the carriage, no one knew who said it.
"That was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was the one who solved the problems of the disaster victims and saved us."
This sentence made all the people look up and immediately rushed towards them.
After Gu Jingchun and the others realized something was wrong, they immediately wanted to turn their horses around, but it was too late.
A large number of people surrounded them, making it impossible for them to move forward.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Long live Your Highness."
"Your Highness, if it weren't for you, my mother and my children would have starved to death. You are our savior."
"Your Highness, please look at these things. They are my little gifts to you. Please accept them."
…
Chen Hechuan sat high on his horse, frowning slightly as he looked at the people who had crowded the entire street.
He really couldn't stand seeing Gu Jingchun and Ye Wenxi walking side by side today, so he ignored the attempts to stop them and rode on the horse himself. He didn't expect that he would be surrounded now.
Chen Hechuan looked at these people and couldn't help but guide them, wanting them to leave.
But no matter what he said, the other party kept surrounding them and had no intention of leaving.
Chen Hechuan gripped the reins tightly, anger hidden in his heart.
It was obvious that these people were being misled and used by people with ulterior motives. They were unable to use force at all and were temporarily put in a passive position.
Gu Jingchun in the carriage quietly lifted the curtain and looked at the people gathered outside with a slightly frown.
Gu Jinxi couldn't help but speak when he saw this.
"Mother, why can't Daddy be a little stricter with the people? Just drive them away?"
"They are all timid. As long as Daddy has a sword, they will definitely be scared away.
Gu Jingchun patiently explained to him, "It's different. Daddy is the crown prince. If he draws his sword against the innocent people who love him, it will chill the hearts of the people."
"The people have lost their hearts, so how can they accept him as the future emperor?"
Gu Jinxi nodded, not quite understanding.
"In that case, why don't we let others scare them?"
Gu Jinxi said it casually, but Gu Jingchun's eyes lit up. She immediately lifted the car curtain and looked at Ye Wenxi.
When these people gathered around, Ye Wenxi took his men to surround the carriage to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from sneaking in among the people and harming Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun whispered a few words to Ye Wenxi in his ear.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenxi immediately nodded and then looked at Chen Hechuan.
However, Chen Hechuan's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze kept wandering between the two of them, with a hint of dissatisfaction.
However, he also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper, and he looked at Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun signaled with his mouth and eyes.
He immediately understood and secretly took off the badge and handed it to Tianji.
Tianji immediately handed the token on his waist to Ye Wenxi.
Ye Wenxi took it in his hand, looked around, and glanced at a few men in the crowd who were shouting particularly loudly. Then he nodded to the people around him.
Mao Li, who was beside Ye Wenxi, nodded immediately, lightly tapped the horse's back, and flew onto the roof.
He shouted, "The prince needs to leave now. Everyone, please get out of the way so as not to hinder his activities."
Everyone immediately looked up and saw Mao Li standing on a high place, and immediately felt dissatisfied.
Ye Wenxi took advantage of the opportunity, mixed in with the crowd and left quietly.
After he left, he wanted to immediately go to the county magistrate's office to dispatch personnel, but he was afraid that the county magistrate's office was also mixed in by villains.
So, to be on the safe side, he went to one of the shops, showed his token, and immediately deployed some people.
Then he went to the county magistrate's office.
The county magistrate of the county magistrate's office was promoted by Shen Hechuan himself.
When Ye Wenxi came to his house, he got the news and didn't want to pay attention to him, but when he saw Ye Wenxi's demeanor, he looked at him again.
When Ye Wenxi took out the prince's token, he was even more surprised. Without caring about anything else, he immediately obeyed the order and led his men towards the crowd.
At this time, the people were already somewhat out of control.
Perhaps it was because of what was just said that the people began to get agitated.
They all began to explain.
"Your Highness, we have no intention of stopping you. We simply wish to bow down and pay our respects to your divine face, as we have just seen it for the first time."
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. We will leave now."
A few people were about to retreat, but there were too many people. The people behind them didn't know the situation and kept pushing forward. The people in the front wanted to retreat, but not only could they not retreat, they were pushed forward by the crowd.
As they moved backward, the crowd became agitated.
Someone started pushing and shoving, and the pushing was accompanied by cursing, and they had already started arguing with each other.
Seeing that something was wrong, Chen Hechuan immediately spoke up to stop it.
"Everyone, don't move, don't rush, and slowly retreat."
However, his words were of no use at this time, and everyone was caught up in the shoving.
Gu Jingchun also realized something was wrong and got out of the carriage. She stood on the carriage, looking at the people who were pushing and shoving each other, and immediately drew her sword and shouted angrily.
"Everyone stop."
After the words were spoken, everyone paused for a moment, but soon became agitated again.
After all, a woman's words will not make people afraid.
But at this moment, Gu Jingchun raised his sword and chopped at the carriage.
In an instant, a piece of the carriage's arm was cut off.
"If anyone moves again, just like this carriage, don't blame me for being rude."
Finally, the crowd quieted down.
Gu Jingchun then continued to speak.
"You keep saying you want to see His Royal Highness, but you know your actions have completely affected His Royal Highness."
"If anyone else had acted like this, they would have definitely taken you all down."
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and loving, and he loves you, so he naturally doesn’t want to hurt you.
However, you must also consider His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you continue to push and shove and argue, it will only cause panic, and if you are not careful, it will hurt innocent people."
Seeing that the people were persuaded, Gu Jingchun began to evacuate them.
I watched as the crowded people began to slowly retreat.
Some people in the crowd could no longer contain themselves and immediately shouted:
