"It doesn't matter, as long as they can keep up, let them follow!"
Li Xuan said with an indifferent expression.
These caravans all came out of the inn, and they probably thought it would be safer to follow them. Li Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to this.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zheng Fu responded with a salute.
Anyway, Li Xuan and the others will pay the toll as they should, and those merchants won’t be able to pay the toll!
From Chang'an City to Qingzhou, we first pass through Luoyang and Zhengzhou, and then follow the Yellow River all the way east until Qingzhou.
Every time he visited a big city, Li Xuan would take Cui Mi and others for a walk around the city.
Especially from Luoyang and Zhengzhou, a large number of important families came to pay homage to him, the King of Jin.
Li Xuan ignored it and just sent Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde to deal with it.
Regarding this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were full of joy to be able to come forward on behalf of the king and prove that the king really took them into the palace.
When they arrived in Zhengzhou, Zheng Yuanzhe, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, personally brought a group of elders from the family to greet him.
Li Xuancai took Old Man Xiong, Li Chengqian and others to come forward in person and went with them to the banquet.
But he only stayed for one night, and by the way, he asked Li Chengqian and other bastards to visit the Zheng family before continuing on their journey.
So far, along the way, except for a few aristocratic families who were related to each other, no one paid attention to him.
Along the way, you encounter cities and enter cities, encounter mountains and cross mountains, and encounter rivers and rivers!
After spending more than twenty days and paying a total of six tolls, we finally arrived in Qingzhou.
"Si Renbiao, the governor of Qingzhou, comes to see His Highness the King of Jin!"
"At the end of the war, Cheng Duanbo, the captain of the capital of Qingzhou, came to see His Highness the King of Jin!"
A group of Qingzhou officials, along with Situ Biao, the governor of Qingzhou, and Cheng Duanbo, the captain of Qingzhou Zichong, stood respectfully outside Qingzhou City to greet Li Xuan.
As for the specific life experiences of Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others, no one dared to reveal them, so these people did not know that there were two people with more noble backgrounds hidden in King Jin's motorcade.
"You don't need to be polite, this king is just taking the princess home to visit her!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly as a gift in return, and declined the banquet invited by these officials.
Hearing this, all the officials in Qingzhou were startled.
His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, does not seem to be as cruel or difficult to get along with as he was there.
Then, before any of the officials could ask for the invitation again, Li Xuan handed over the invitation again.
"Everyone, I have been very tired during this trip, so I sent the princess to Cui's house first. I appreciate your kindness. Thank you very much for coming to greet her!"
"Your Highness, you're welcome. It's us who have disturbed you."
Si Renbiao and Cheng Duanbo, the two chief civil and military officials of Qingzhou, quickly saluted Li Xuan with apologetic expressions on their faces.
Immediately, he quickly led a group of officials to get out of the way.
Li Xuan cupped his hands again and got into the carriage.
All the way in, all the people in the city looked at this huge carriage team with shocked faces.
The head of the Cui family lives in Dongcheng, Qingzhou.
Therefore, Li Xuan and other convoys crossed most of Qingzhou City.
As one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, the Cui family is one of the top aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty. The main residence of the Cui family is very splendid and spacious, covering an area of more than sixty acres.
On both sides of the street from the main house, people from the Cui family also live.
When Li Xuan's motorcade arrived at the door, Cui Xuanlan of the Cui family had already been waiting eagerly at the door with all the direct branches of the Cui family.
"Wow~"
Following the long motorcade, everyone in the Cui family could not help but widen their eyes with shock on their faces.
A convoy of more than forty carriages could easily be assembled by a small steward of his Cui family.
However, such a large four-wheeled carriage, each one is exactly the same, they have never seen it before, and it is impossible to make one. It is full of shock to them.
Then, when the motorcade stopped and five hundred soldiers and dozens of servants and maids emerged from the carriages, all the Cui family members could not help but widen their eyes, full of surprise and regret.
His Royal Highness, Prince of Jin, was actually using such a luxurious carriage to transport generals and servants.
"Old old Cui Xuanlan, please see the elders, see His Highness the King of Jin, and see you gentlemen!"
As Li Xuan, Li Yuan and others got off the bus, Cui Xuanlan quickly raised his hands in salute.
However, the main target was still Li Yuan, which made some uninformed Cui family members feel confused again.
Cui Xuanlan and other direct descendants of the Cui family ignored this.
The Emperor and His Royal Highness are traveling. How can outsiders know about such a big event?
As for the courtiers who knew that Li Chengqian had followed Li Xuan out, they did not dare to tell the people of the aristocratic family at will.
"My child has seen Aye and Aniang!"
After the Cui family met Li Xuan and others, it was Cui Mi who paid tribute to Cui Xuanlan.
After another tearful cry and greetings, everyone entered the house.
At night, Li Xuan and others lived in a large courtyard next to Cui Mansion. It covered an area of more than 20 acres and had hundreds of rooms, which could fully accommodate Li Xuan and others.
Early the next morning, Li Xuan and others all slept together until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
In the afternoon, I took Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others around the city and rested in the evening.
It was so leisurely for three days in a row.
Seeing this, all the officials in Qingzhou subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
From this situation, it seems that His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, really just brought the princess back to visit her relatives.
However, just as all the officials were filled with joy, they heard news that His Highness the King of Jin was leaving the city with a large group of troops!
"Do you know where King Jin went and how many troops he brought with him?"
In the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, Situ Biao hurriedly asked the boy below.
"Replying to the envoy, His Highness the King of Jin came out from the east gate with two hundred cavalry. The speed was too fast. The villain did not find out where the King of Jin went?"
The boy replied quickly.
When he heard that he was going east, Situ Biao's expression changed, and then a smile flashed across his face.
"The King of Jin went east, so don't pay attention. He should have gone to the shipyard!"
"Make you wise!"
The boy below quickly complimented him.
Hearing this, a trace of pride flashed across Situ Biao's face.
Biejia on the side also had a slight expression on his face, and after giving a sincere compliment, he continued: "Your Majesty, it seems that the King of Jin or His Majesty attaches great importance to that shipyard!"
"Well! Shang Ming makes sense!"
Situ Biao couldn't help but nodded subconsciously.
"Starting from tomorrow, let the government officials patrol the shipyard more often. If they have any needs, they must report to me quickly!"
"Yes, your Majesty!"
Biejia quickly raised his hands and responded.
In fact, deep down in his heart, it didn't matter whether he sent a government officer to inspect the place or not.
The shipyard was built in a harbor twenty miles outside Qingzhou City. It is usually calm and the sea is calm, and the deepest part of the water is three feet, which is most suitable for building a shipyard.
Moreover, he also visited the completed shipyard from a distance.
A group of gray houses, as solid as a city wall.
Moreover, the shipyard was closely guarded by a group of troops from Chang'an City. Even if they went there, they would look at them warily, making them uncomfortable.
In Qingzhou, except maybe the governor's office, Zhechong Captain, and those few aristocratic families, no one in the shipyard has to be afraid.
As for the shipyard specially built by His Majesty, unless necessary, the Governor's Office, Captain Zhechong, and those aristocratic families will not disturb it.
Therefore, the shipyards will not have any need for their help.
