Chapter 399: First Visit to Huating, Changes in the Prefect
Huating!
The most inconspicuous fishing village on the border of Daqian.
The so-called city wall is actually just simple and low, even not as good as some mountain strongholds. Even so, the wall is full of the feeling of wind and frost.
Obviously.
This small city wall has been destroyed countless times.
Chu Wan'er was a little surprised: "Is this the rumored Huating fishing village? It's much better than I expected."
Although the city wall in front is dilapidated, it cannot conceal its prosperity. In the small market town, there are many vendors coming and going, making it particularly lively.
On the contrary, Concubine Han was looking at the fishing village in front of her, lost in thought, her thoughts drifting away, and she didn't even hear Ling Hong calling her.
He kept yelling several times before coming back to his senses.
"what?"
Concubine Han came back to her senses and patted Ling Hong's head with her little hand: "Hong'er, I'm fine."
"Mother concubine."
Ling Hong tilted his head: "Why are you crying?"
Ling Hong's eyes were filled with nervousness and distress: "Did you think about what happened before?"
"Don't worry, mother. Hong'er will definitely avenge you."
Han Guiren felt warm in her heart and patted his forehead: "Silly child, you are still so young, what are you talking about revenge or not?"
The words fell.
Han Guiren turned around and looked at Ling Tian. "Your Highness, we have now arrived at the Huating area. However, this is the coastal edge and is considered a fishing village. The real Huating is about ten miles further in."
"It doesn't matter."
Ling Tian also knew the purpose of this time: "Noble Lady Han, I promised my father that I would send you back to the family safely."
"If you need anything."
"But it doesn't matter."
"This one……"
Han Guiren was stunned for a moment, and couldn't figure out Ling Tian's thoughts, so she could only nod and say, "Thank you very much, Sixth Prince."
"Ah."
Ling Tian just smiled lightly: "But Madam, you have a special identity after all. I originally thought that when you came to this fishing village, someone would come to receive you."
"It's a pity that this doesn't seem to be what I thought."
Han Guiren's expression changed slightly, and then she said with a smile: "Sixth Prince, you are joking. I am just an ordinary speck of dust. How can I compete with the bright moon?"
"Now."
"I am just revisiting an old place. Everything here is so familiar to me."
"Why do we need the secular world?"
Concubine Han's voice was very gentle, and there was no sign of falsehood. Ling Tian actually looked up to Concubine Han for a rare moment. Han Shuyao had been very quiet along the way.
Said nothing.
The same was true for Ma Changkong, but the more this was the case, the more Ling Tian thought highly of him. It was often the venomous snake that caught the enemy by surprise and killed them with one blow before they reached the city gate.
The guard stopped a few people, performed a simple identity verification, and let them in without any intention of making things difficult for them.
The market town is not big, but it is very lively. There are many vendors selling their wares on both sides of the street. However, most of them are dressed simply and have burly builds. Ling Tian is familiar with this small market town.
I am full of curiosity.
Along the way, the bustling streets never stopped and stretched for several miles until they arrived at a rather large mansion. It would be more appropriate to call it a mansion or an inner city.
There is a huge moat across the city, and the city wall is about tens of meters high, with many elite guards standing on the wall.
These people all gave Ling Tian a sense of familiarity.
Bloodthirsty!
Although they are in the coastal area and there seems to be no war, in fact, the conflicts between Daqian and the Japanese pirates have never stopped for so many years, and the inspection in the inner city has become much more cumbersome.
Upon hearing that Ling Tian and his companions were from Daqian Capital, the guard's expression changed visibly, and he asked tentatively, "Excuse me, are you the Sixth Prince of Daqian?"
kindness?
Ling Tian was surprised: "You know me."
"Are you really the Sixth Prince?" The guard was overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground: "Greetings, Sixth Prince."
moment.
Everyone knelt.
Shouts continued to ring out: "Greetings to His Highness the Sixth Prince."
The voice of welcome immediately attracted everyone's attention: "Is he the Sixth Prince?"
"Why do you look so kind?"
"With his frail appearance, can he really kill Watanabe?"
"But the Sixth Prince is very courageous."
"I don't know how many people the Sixth Prince brought with him this time."
"Your Highness dares to come, so he must be prepared."
……
Ling Tian was stunned by the discussion among the crowd, and quickly helped the big man in front of him up: "Hurry up, get up, what are you doing?"
The big man couldn't hide his excitement: "Your Highness, I am Niu Daben, the captain of the Huating Guard."
"Your Highness's previous actions in Kyoto have long been reported to Huating."
"Especially that Japanese pirate, who issued a kill order against Your Highness, saying that if you come to Huating, you will never return."
Ling Tian was a little surprised: "The news spread so quickly?"
"I'm afraid someone is secretly fanning the flames."
After calming down, Ling Tian waved his hand and said, "Take me to see the governor of Huating first."
Prefect?
Niu Daben was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said, "Your Highness, follow me."
Soon the group entered the inner city. The prosperity they saw was incomparable to the outer city, especially the prefectural mansion, which was even more magnificent. Before they got close, Niu Daben started shouting.
"Your Highness is here."
"The Sixth Prince is coming down."
……
His voice alarmed the entire governor's mansion guards, and everyone looked over at once, and in the next second they all came in front of Ling Tian.
Bang bang bang.
Everyone knelt down one after another. Ling Tian quickly glanced at Xiang Lin and others around him. The latter understood and stepped forward to help them up one by one. Ling Tian glanced at them and whispered.
"Your Highness, I came here this time to escort the noble lady Shu Yao to visit her parents."
"Secondly, I want to inspect the situation of the Japanese pirates. During this period, the Japanese pirates have repeatedly invaded the coastal areas of Daqian."
"The wolf's ambition is obvious."
"As the sixth prince of the Daqian royal family, how can I tolerate the Japanese pirates' rampage?"
"We will keep the enemy out at all costs."
Ling Tian's heroic words had just fallen when a scornful laugh was heard at the scene. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a heroic woman striding towards him in the distance.
A tight outfit makes you look free and easy.
There was a hint of determination between her brows. When the woman walked out, many strong men who had stood up bowed and said, "Greetings, young lady."
"See Miss."
"See Miss."
shouts.
They were all in uniform and very impressive. The woman didn't care at all. Instead, she strode over and stopped in front of Ling Tian. Her pair of black eyes were looking him up and down.
He seemed to be disdainful: "Sure enough, he is just an asshole who only knows how to talk big."
"you……"
Ling Tian was a little displeased, but he hadn't gotten angry yet. When the woman looked at Han Shuyao, a strange light appeared in her eyes: "You are... Sister Shuyao?"
