Chapter 99: On the Road

"My lords, there is no need to send you far away."

After Qin Jing gave a calm instruction, he took Su Zijin and others and set off south, heading straight to Baima Mansion.

The deeper the winter, the more bleak the scenery becomes. The sky and the earth are gray and it seems like it wants to snow.

The faces of all the officials of Li County, big and small, who stayed where they were, were colder than the midwinter sky.

Ever since the fourth prince insisted on checking the women and gold and silver he sent a few days ago, everyone in Li County has fallen into panic.

Li County is located in the northernmost part of Dong County, bordering Jia Mi Mansion in Jiyin County. Compared with the prosperous Jia Mi, it is a truly poor place. But there are good things in poor places. No matter where Li County is, it is inconspicuous.

Not to mention, the local officials of Li County, big and small, have not changed once since the founding of the People's Republic of China. They have no hope of promotion and can only enjoy themselves. Before the fourth prince entered Li County, the local officials of Li County, big and small, almost thought that they were Li County.

God of the county, I didn’t expect that now when Xiao Wang meets the big king, the big king still looks "noble" and checks "women and money", which makes the local officials panic and at the same time feel a little bit of "shame and anger" that is not easy to detect.

"Master Prefect, if the fourth prince leaves like this, are we going to be doomed? I heard that the fourth prince's memorial was sent to Kyoto yesterday. It seems that our good days are just a few days away."

The good days of the small place have gone too long, and everyone has become comfortable. I just feel that it will be like this for the rest of my life, being aloof in this small place and being an unspoken "Emperor of the Earth". Unexpectedly, the dream seems to be about to be broken, and everyone's faces

His expression was as sad as if he were mourning his concubine.

"Yesterday, the head of Songmen at the city gate reported to me the time when the Fourth Prince's subordinates left the city. I have already sent people to intercept them."

The magistrate said lightly, the vermilion on his body seemed to be the color of thick blood in the dim sunlight.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at the prefect with wide eyes.

"Isn't it a capital offense to stop, stop, stop the imperial messenger?"

The judge stammered.

He is an official appointed by His Majesty, and there is no need to die with these small local officials.

The magistrate looked at the judge indifferently and said, "If nothing else, the woman who went to seduce the fourth prince that day was originally a daughter of a good family. Who forced her to work as a prostitute? You have forgotten that the fourth prince has already been investigated.

The result is to be sent to Kyoto. Do you think I should stop such a memorial?"

Tong San immediately shut up and said no more.

"Everyone, I heard that the eldest prince of the current dynasty was so stunning that he was killed by a hidden arrow. He is so jealous of his talent. Your Majesty and the Queen are heartbroken but helpless. I hope that our fourth prince, the younger brother of the eldest prince, can have a smooth life.

Peace and peace.”

The prefect wiped away his tears in a pretentious manner, but what he said made everyone present shudder.

"Sir, the big deal is just losing your official position, it's not a big deal. We have also saved some money and food over the years. When the news is over, we can look for opportunities to make a comeback. There is no need to do anything, right?"

Tong Zhizhan said tremblingly, looking at the prefect who looked a little crazy, and for some reason, it felt like they had been kidnapped by the prefect on a pirate ship.

I heard that the prefect was once a surrendered minister of the previous dynasty, could it be...? Everyone did not dare to think about it anymore, and their faces became even more dejected.

The magistrate's big hand patted the backs of the magistrates and magistrates on both sides, and said cheerfully with a sinister smile, "Hey, where did you think you were? For more than ten years, we have been wearing a pair of pants, and you have already fallen into the trap."

There is me, and you are among me. I have troubled you a lot, and I am willing to do things for you. It is just a cold winter, and the people have nothing to eat. How can a hungry person have any sense? It is inevitable that he will do something

Robbery on the road is a secret operation. I have long heard that on the way from Li County to Baima Mansion, some unscrupulous people set up roadblocks to block the road and rob. It is normal for accidents to happen during conflicts, isn't it? "

Tongzhi, the general magistrate smiled apologetically under the hands of the magistrate, and the other minor officials were even more silent, not daring to say a word.

"This is the first decent mountain we have seen along the way. Although it is not too high, it is very heavy."

On the only road from Li County to Baima Mansion, there was a stretch of rolling mountains. Everyone followed the marks on the road and rode into the mountains, and their speed immediately slowed down.

Su Zijin sat on the horse and looked into the distance, feeling that the mountain was layered and endless.

Qin Jing was beside Su Zijin and looked with her, "This is the remaining line of Taihang. It would be too time-consuming and laborious to take a detour. Fortunately, the mountain is gentle and the mountain road is not difficult. After walking for more than ten miles, we will pass.

The mountain is Baima Mansion."

"In that case, let's leave quickly."

Qin Jing seemed to be like a living map. He had been leading the way all this time, and everyone followed. The people below believed in Qin Jing, not just because he was the fourth prince, but also because he had outstanding abilities and could lead everyone.

Qin Jing stretched out his hand to stop Su Zijin, "Didn't Marquis Wu tell you? The mountain road is difficult to travel, and you need to explore the roadside. If you ride over so recklessly, if you miss the mark, it will be a big deal if you fall.

Little Bai’s foot is broken, you should feel distressed again.”

Qin Jing's words successfully caused Su Zijin to roll his eyes.

"Fourth Prince, let's hurry up and hurry up." Su Zijin said angrily, "With this weather, it feels like it's going to snow in the next second."

After hearing this, Qin Jing said sternly, "It doesn't matter, it's not cold when it snows, it's cold when it melts. The air in the mountains is heavy, so there will inevitably be ice floes condensed by water vapor on the road. These ice floes are very slippery. It would be better if it snowed.

Walk some."

The weather seemed to be affected. As soon as Qin Jing finished speaking, heavy snow fell. The snowflakes were like goose feathers, light and dense. But in an instant, the world became quieter, and the ground was covered with a white blanket. Look

It was very easy to step on, and Su Zijin could even feel that when the horse's hoof stepped on it, there would be a slight "creak" sound, which was the sound of snowflakes being crushed.

"Let's go. It's more than ten miles of mountainous road, and we'll be there in an hour and a half by walking slowly."

The thin layer of snow on the ground had been stepped on by the explorers. Before Qin Jing and Su Zijin could pass by, another thin layer fell. The snow was heavier than expected. The horses all lowered their heads, as if

Interrupted by the heavy snow, I carefully identified the road conditions.

Su Zijin was impatient to wear the hood because it affected her vision. After a while, she felt as if snowflakes were hanging on her eyebrows, casting a shadow on her eyes.

Snowing is different from raining. People may say that this fool doesn't know how to hide from the rain. However, being exposed to snow has always been a romantic thing. Su Zijin couldn't help but think of a sentence, "If he were exposed to snow together,
