AWB Chapter 310 Enter Xiaorong
Chapter 310 Enter Xiaorong
Are all the people in the capital of the Wu Dynasty so unattractive that they make people want to vomit?
Could it be that the Empress of the Wu Dynasty deliberately sent people to humiliate them, and now their internal situation is in complete chaos?
The arrival of an envoy from the Wu Dynasty at this time is probably not for any good purpose!
"What evidence do you have to prove that you are Wu Chao's envoys? I think there's something wrong with the official seal."
That person hadn't actually looked at the checkpoint stamp carefully; they simply didn't want them to pass.
“My lord, this is a small token of our appreciation. Her Majesty the Empress has instructed us to ensure that these items are delivered to your court.”
When a piece of silver was placed in her hand, she didn't even glance at it.
Oh no, they're stuck here and can't get in!
Wu Ziyan looked at Qi Zeyun and the other person behind her with a puzzled expression, wondering what this meant.
To my utter surprise, the gatekeeper judged people by their appearance!
Unable to get in, they retreated a long way and retrieved the original documents, but Qi Zexuan's and Qi Zeyun's documents remained unchanged.
They also removed all their disguises, revealing themselves to be handsome young men!
However, when they arrived at the city gate again, the guards glanced at the documents.
The contents inside are almost identical to the original, except the portraits have been changed.
They just glanced at them and let them in. They really judged people by their appearance!
Stepping into Xiao Rong, everything had changed – the atmosphere and the people were completely different. Occasionally, you could see a few Wu Dynasty people doing business.
People who have never been to a foreign country are very curious.
At this point, Fang Yuerong and the others felt that they were truly fortunate to have the opportunity to visit this foreign country thanks to Wu Ziyan.
Wu Ziyan wasn't surprised at all. To her, it was just a minority group establishing a country.
People look pretty much the same, without much change.
They all dismounted and walked, and the carriages were all empty, perhaps wanting to experience a different atmosphere just for the moment they entered the city.
"Oh, young master, look, they're so dark-skinned! Oh, look what they're selling? It looks very nice."
"Yue'er!"
"Hmph, I'll go find Miss up ahead."
This is the first time Yue'er has been away from Fang Yuerong. Is this the charm of foreign countries?
That's the charm of novelty, I would say.
Wu Ziyan was standing very close to Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan, whispering to each other, seemingly discussing something.
"How about I go find somewhere to ask later? Do they know you're still alive?"
“There are special contact points between my sister and me in each place. We will separate later. You go with my sister, and Chu Yu will go with me. Let’s go to the stronghold first and see what’s going on.”
"Wow, you guys have a base all over here. You guys are really something."
"We don't know if our secrets have been uncovered yet, so we have to go and check first."
"By the way, how far is this place from your main city?"
"It's not far. Even if you travel fast, it will take at most half a day."
"Since we're now in your territory, you should find a safe place to settle us properly first. I don't want to go on a diplomatic mission abroad only to lose everyone."
"Let's split into two groups; we can't put all our eggs in one basket."
After saying that, Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan parted ways at the fork in the road ahead, with Qi Zexuan taking Chu Yu with him.
He then led a few trusted confidants to the other side, while Wu Ziyan and the others followed Qi Zeyun to this side.
The goods were also transported in two separate ways; in fact, someone had been watching them as soon as they entered the city.
Because there are always some local bullies who keep an eye on outside merchants.
Plus, with so much cargo they were carrying, they were very conspicuous. Who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?
Xiao Rong Royal Court
"Wu Chao sent an envoy, where is he?"
"It is said that it has already entered the country."
"Do you have any news about my two unfilial sons?!"
"Your Majesty, no."
"Alright, don't let them go back alive anyway, since our relationship with the Wu Dynasty has already broken down!"
"Yes!"
The place Wu Ziyan went with Qi Zeyun was a tavern located in a secluded corner.
But the wine from this shop smelled very mellow, which puzzled her.
Why do these royal families always like to have a tavern or something?
Upon entering, I found a scarred man and a scarred woman inside; they appeared to be a couple.
Looking at this ugly, unattractive man, he walked in with several handsome people.
They kept saying, "Buy some wine! What do you want? We have chrysanthemum wine, peach blossom wine, osmanthus wine, and pure Daughter's Red wine."
"Chrysanthemum wine, two ounces, for Miss Qi."
At first glance, they didn't recognize him by his appearance, but upon hearing his voice, they knew it all too well.
Their eyes were filled with shock as they stared at the person in front of them: "Sending Miss Qi?"
"Old Du, it's me."
They took out a token from their pockets to prove their identity, and the couple accepted it.
It really was Qi Zeyun. After seeing the two of them, he was about to kneel down: "It really is Your Highness!"
"What's been going on with Xiao Rong lately?"
"It is said throughout the court and among the people that the two princes have died in the Wu Dynasty, the Empress intends to send troops, and the Prince of Hui is stirring up trouble."
She has begun to consolidate the scattered forces of the two princes; this is likely a sign of a rebellion.
"His Highness Zexuan?"
"Don't worry, my silly little brother is fine."
"Why did Your Highness return in disguise?"
"The situation is uncertain. I don't know how many people in this small Rong want to kill my brother and me."
"Are you saying the Empress wants the two princes dead?"
"It wasn't necessarily true before, but it's definitely true now."
They exchanged pleasantries in front, while Wu Ziyan and the others stood by in the back, only realizing after they finished speaking that there was a group of people standing behind them.
The Du couple glanced at Qi Zeyun, who then turned to look at the group: "They can be trusted. My allies."
"Gentlemen, I am truly sorry for the neglect. Please come and take your seats in the inner hall."
I thought this little tavern was a hidden gem, but when I went there I found there was only a reception room.
They should live like an ordinary couple, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.
Meanwhile, Qi Zeyun led Chu Yu and her group to a brothel.
It was precisely in these bustling city centers that messages were most easily relayed; they stayed inside for quite a while before finally emerging.
After all, since their identities had been verified at the checkpoint, they still had to check into the post station.
After both sides had gathered all the information, they regrouped at the entrance of the post station.
Judging from their expressions, neither of them looked well, suggesting that the information they had received had put them in a precarious situation.
Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan exchanged a glance and knew that the information the other party had obtained was definitely unfavorable.
They were so focused on the siblings' fight that they forgot about the wise prince!
"The advanced station will be explained in detail."
"Ah."
They entered the inn, and others followed them in, dressed in various styles.
They even divided the people into several groups, only temporarily ordered to monitor the situation, and to take action immediately if anything unusual happened.
