"Well, before noon tomorrow, the prince will arrive at your north city gate. You inform all the officials that they must greet him at the city gate!"
"ah?"
When he heard that Hu Yunqing was coming, the prefect was so frightened that his legs shook. He didn't understand that a few days ago, news came out from the capital that Hu Yunqing was unwilling to take the job, so he came to the fiefdom so quickly.
And there was no news at all, so he was completely unprepared, and King Xianghuai was still in the city.
If Hu Yunqing knew about it, it would definitely be very troublesome.
"What? Does the prefect have a problem? Or is the prince not welcome?"
Looking at the prefect's expression, Huan also knew something and deliberately asked to make things difficult for him.
"No, no, how dare you, your official? I will bring the county officials to greet you early tomorrow morning."
Hearing Juan's words, he was startled, and he quickly assured Juan.
"Yeah, yawn."
Seeing that it was getting late, the prefect didn't know what to think about. Huan had nowhere to go at this time, so he let out a sigh of relief on purpose.
"Everyone is tired from the journey. I will arrange a place for you right away."
The prefect, who was thinking about something, heard Juan's sigh in front of him and realized that he was a little stupid.
"Quick, take a few of them to the inn to stay!"
It was impossible for the prefect to let them live in his house. There were many secrets in his house. If they were to know, it would definitely reach the ears of King Dingbei.
"Guys, come with me."
After watching Juan leave, the prefect returned to the lobby and began to feel a little restless, pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do.
"Prefect, are you looking for me?"
Just when the prefect was anxious, a man came in from the door and said.
"Go, inform King Xianghuai immediately, and tell him that Hu Yunqing will be back at noon tomorrow. Ask him what he should do?"
It's a bit late now, and it's not convenient for me to go out. I can only find my subordinates and contact King Xianghuai. Now I have no choice but to see what countermeasures the prince has.
Because I also understand some of the character of King Dingbei. If the other party knows what he has done, he will definitely not end well.
"King Dingbei? It's really ridiculous!"
Zhu Youxu sat lazily on the chair. He wouldn't have gotten up unless he said there was something important. Hearing that Hu Yunqing was already the King of Dingbei, he couldn't help but sneered and said.
"Your Majesty, the master of our family is on your side."
He was sent over by the prefect just to ask what to do, but after waiting for a long time, Zhu Youxu said nothing.
"What are you afraid of? I'm here to protect your master. What can happen to you?"
"But."
Hearing that there was nothing he could do, the servant wanted to say something, but after seeing the look in Zhu Youxu's eyes, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
"Are you doubting that a king with a different surname can compare to me, King Xianghuai?"
"No, with the prince here, our master will definitely feel at ease."
The servants didn't dare to say anything. The prince in front of them was very cruel, so they had no choice but to go back and send a message.
When Zhu Youxu first came here, he just fell in love with a beauty. The other person's family didn't agree, so he killed everyone in the other person's family.
"Hmph! What the hell is King Xianghuai! I was really blind before, and I actually chose to work for him."
After hearing the report of the servant's return, the prefect got angry and started smashing things and yelled angrily.
"Sir, didn't the prince say it before? All the goods were divided, and he didn't want a penny."
Seeing that the prefect was angry, the servant quickly spoke to persuade him.
"What a fucking fart, what you say is so nice, give it all to us, but now I don't even see a penny."
"I think he is planning to put all these goods into his own pocket!"
It would be better if he didn't mention this batch of goods, and the prefect wouldn't be so angry. He went through all the effort and took risks, but he didn't even get a penny in his pocket.
This made the prefect feel uncertain. After all, Zhu Youxu's fiefdom was not here. If he slapped his butt and left, they would not dare to say anything and would have to suffer the consequences of being dumb.
"Okay, early tomorrow morning, you will take people to the houses of various officials and tell them the news about King Dingbei's arrival."
Since there is no other way, it is better to choose to sleep and wait until tomorrow comes.
Anyway, you don’t do things alone. Anyway, when something happens, we all shoulder it together.
When they heard that they would arrive before noon, all the officials did not dare to neglect and came to the city gate early to wait.
Juan was watching the scene at the city gate from a teahouse not far away. He carefully checked the list and found that they were all corrupt officials.
By noon, everyone had arrived and stood outside the city gate in the scorching sun, looking into the distance to see if Hu Yunqing's team had arrived.
"Master Prefect, is your information accurate?"
"That's right! It's been so long, and there's not even a trace of the prince?"
...
The officials waiting outside the city gate found that it was already past noon and they still didn't see the prince's team, which forced them to question the authenticity of the news.
"It's absolutely true. It was the prince's bodyguard who came to my house to inform me last night."
"Where are the people?"
Seeing that all the officials were looking at him, the prefect was also very innocent. He spread his hands and explained, then turned around to see where Huan was and wanted him to come out and explain.
"Are you kidding us?"
Some officials also have some backers behind them. Although they are not as powerful as the prefect, they are not afraid of the prefect.
"The adults will definitely come, just wait here."
Juan, who had been drinking water in the teahouse, also came over at this moment. Looking at the sun in the sky, it has passed its peak time.
"Who are you?"
The officials present shut their mouths when they saw the clothes on Juan's body, because they knew what this clothes symbolized in the Ming Dynasty, and only Jin Yiwei could wear it.
"I am the personal bodyguard of King Dingbei. Please wait patiently."
After listening to Juan's words, those officials who had come early in the morning felt as if their heels did not belong to them at this moment.
They all looked at Hu Yunqing, gritting their teeth and wanting to beat Huan. People who have been drinking tea in the teahouse really feel like they can stand and talk without pain in their backs.
"coming!"
Just as they were standing in front of the city gate, the soldiers on the tower saw thick smoke billowing in the distance and quickly said to the officials below.
"Here we come, hurry up and line up to greet us."
The prefect also wiped his sweat. If the prince didn't come today, these people would not let him go.
"Drive, Xu!"
Hu Yunqing, wearing a suit of armor, stopped his horse in front of the city gate and looked at the officials at the door.
"See you, my lord!"
