Chapter 421: festival
Chapter 421 God Festival
The next six days, the group spent on the road, passed through several cities during the period, took a short rest, and then continued on the road.
After six consecutive days of rushing, the group of people arrived hundreds of miles away from Liucheng. Along the way, I didn't encounter any troubles, and none of the hidden people came out.
Regarding these, Jun Li curled his lips slightly, closed his eyes and lay down on the soft bed in the carriage, letting the carriage drive smoothly, and walked towards Liucheng unhurriedly.
Among the many cities in the Beirong Kingdom, Liucheng is neither a big city nor a small city, and is in the range of a medium-sized city.
This time Jun Li was to accompany Su Yunqing home to visit his father, so he would not keep a low profile, so when the team arrived three hundred miles outside Liucheng, Liucheng prefect Gu Qingqiu had already led all the officials of Liucheng to wait there, without any fear The sun that keeps emitting heat in the sky.
When the two parties met, they went to Liucheng slowly after a lot of saluting. When they arrived at the gate of Liucheng City, it was already three hours later, that is, when the lanterns were first lit.
Under the protection of Liucheng guards, the group arrived safely at the mansion of Liucheng prefect Gu Qingqiu.
Because I got the news that Junli will come to Liucheng a few days ago, all the rooms in the prefect's mansion have already been cleaned, and even a small corner has been cleaned.
Entering the prefect's mansion, all the servants stood anxiously on both sides of the long corridor, looking restless.
Seeing this, Gu Qingqiu waved his hand, and soon, all the servants retreated.
Gu Qingqiu smiled at Junli, with a reserved face, "Your Majesty, the room has been tidied up, I don't know if you are alone or..." At this point, she looked at Su Yunqing who was beside Junli One glance, the meaning in the eyes is self-evident.
Junli raised his eyebrows, "This emperor is naturally with your lord."
Hearing the words, Gu Qingqiu knew that he had said something wrong, and immediately apologized with a smile, "Yes, yes, it's because I didn't think about it." Saying this, he quickly led Junli and the others to a room.
"Your Majesty." Pushing open the door, Gu Qingqiu respectfully called out to Junli.
Jun Li stepped up and led Su Yunqing into the room. Looking around, he was very satisfied with the luxurious but elegant decoration of the room, so he couldn't help but nodded at the moment, and said to Gu Qingqiu outside the door, "Very good, Mr. Gu has taken care of you."
Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu was overwhelmed by flattery, and didn't even dare to speak. Soon she retreated very sensibly, and did not forget to close the door for Junli and the two before leaving.
Eunuch Yu, several attendants, and Yu Chipin were arranged on both sides of Junli's room. As for the others, they were arranged elsewhere. However, the living places are all centered on Junli's room, and Junli's room is protected in the middle in a protective manner.
An hour later, when several servants from the eunuch's mansion carrying bath water came out of Junli's room, Junli also walked out with Su Yunqing swaggeringly.
After a few servants came in, Su Yunqing chatted with them. After all, Liucheng is also his hometown, although he has never been to Liucheng before, and has always lived in a small town in Liucheng. But for Liu Cheng, I have always yearned for it in my heart. Seeing these few people living in Liucheng now, of course I couldn't help but want to ask a few questions.
When she learned that tonight was actually Liucheng's annual god-sacrificing festival, Su Yunqing couldn't bear it anymore, and looked at Junli hesitating to speak. His eyes were full of pleading.
Jun Li was a little overwhelmed by his gaze, but she was also somewhat interested in this festival, so after teasing him, she nodded and agreed without much hesitation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them walked out of the hanging flower gate of the courtyard, they saw Eunuch Yu, four attendants and Yu Chipin all standing there, with expressions on their faces that they had been waiting for you for a long time.
The corners of Junli's mouth twitched. Those four attendants were undoubtedly pulled out by Eunuch Yu. They were only Yuchipin and Eunuch Yu. How did they know that she would come out tonight?
"Your Majesty, I heard that tonight is Liucheng's annual God Sacrifice Festival. I know that you and Chen Guijun will not stay in the house honestly, so I waited here in advance." Eunuch Yu grinned and smiled. See teeth but not eyes.
Yu Chipin on the side glanced at Eunuch Yu and nodded in agreement.
The corners of Jun Li's eyes twitched slightly, without saying anything, he took Su Yunqing's hand and walked out.
Unexpectedly, when they reached the gate of the prefect's mansion, Bai Qiujin and Mo Kuang were already standing there with a relaxed expression.
Seeing this, Junli took a deep breath, these guys!
The original two-person tour became a ten-player tour in an instant, and the team was really huge.
Just a few breaths after walking out of the prefect's mansion, hurried footsteps came from behind, and then the prefect Gu Qingqiu ran to Junli's side, panting and clapping his hands, "Your Majesty wants to visit the festival? It just so happens that the humble minister is going too, why not accompany His Majesty? Just to introduce the customs and scenery of Liucheng to His Majesty."
Hearing this, the corners of Junli's mouth twitched, the news was received really fast enough. As soon as their front feet were out of the gate, she followed them behind. but…
"No need, the emperor is walking around, Mr. Gu is busy with affairs, so don't bother." Junli refused lightly. If you walk with Gu Qingqiu, with Gu Qingqiu's attitude, as long as you are not a fool, you can guess the identity of their group. At that time, the festival of offering sacrifices to the gods was not visited, but was treated as a monkey and watched for a while. Junli doesn't want to experience that feeling.
Gu Qingqiu is not an idiot if he can become the prefect of Liucheng. He understood the meaning of Jun Li's words in an instant, and said without further words, "Then, how many guards will I arrange for Your Majesty to protect His Majesty's safety?"
There are a lot of people on the festival, so the scene will definitely be a little chaotic. Junli did not conceal his identity or whereabouts along the way. If someone wants to harm Junli, tonight's God Festival is a great opportunity. And if something happened to Junli in Liucheng, Gu Qingqiu, the eunuch, would definitely be involved, and the consequences would not be something Gu Qingqiu could afford.
So Gu Qingqiu attaches great importance to Junli's safety.
Junli was already a little upset with so many people who came with him, but Mo Kuang and the others were all good at martial arts, so he tolerated it. But if she was asked to bring guards or something, it was impossible at all.
At the moment, he flatly rejected Gu Qingqiu's kindness, "Master Gu's wishes are appreciated by the emperor, but there are too many people who can't take care of them, and it will cause more trouble." Having said this, Jun Li stopped. Needless to say, Gu Qingqiu must have understood.
Gu Qingqiu also pondered for a while, knowing that the people around Junli are all very skilled, and they must be able to protect Junli's safety. If she sent guards to protect Junli, it might have the opposite effect. After all, many people recognize the guards of the prefect's mansion...
