As soon as Xu Yuanwailang put on his official uniform and left the restaurant, passers-by on the street looked at him curiously.
The Han people on the street were okay. Many of them recognized that he was wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty. They were just curious about why officials from the Ming Dynasty came to Qingcheng.
There were many Mongolians among the pedestrians who had never seen the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty and did not recognize them. A Han man dressed like this suddenly appeared on the street, attracting the curious eyes of many Mongolians.
"Bring me my horse." Xu Yuanwailang, who was wearing official uniform, noticed the looks of passers-by around him, with a proud look on his face.
The boss next to him reminded him in a low voice: "Sir, when we entered the city, the people of the Tiger Flag told us that riding horses is not allowed in the city, so we should lead the horses and walk there!"
Just as he finished speaking.
A little further down the street, a group of cavalry rode towards the city gate.
Pedestrians on the road moved to both sides of the road to make way for the approaching cavalry.
The clattering sound of horse hooves on the road is hard not to notice.
The guard who had just persuaded Xu Yuanwailang not to ride a horse now looked embarrassed.
"Huh!" Xu Yuanwailang snorted coldly.
Naturally, he also saw the group of cavalry riding in the distance.
Soon, this group of cavalry galloped past them and went straight out of the city gate.
The commander next to him explained with an apologetic smile: "These people are all cavalrymen of the Tiger Flag. Only their cavalrymen wear iron armor."
"I'm afraid you can't wear armor for everyone in the frontier army!" Jinyiwei Baihu looked at the commander on the side.
The few people nearby heard this and lowered their heads.
They were all wearing cotton armor, or the kind that was worn out. It was hard to say whether it could withstand damage or not. In many cases, it was barely worn as a piece of clothing.
The commander on the side said awkwardly: "Iron armor is too bulky. In many cases, cotton armor is enough."
After hearing this for several nights, my head drooped even lower.
With the stability of the border areas over the years, it has become difficult for them to live without harvesting at night. Their pay is the same as that of ordinary soldiers in the border army. All the armor was pawned and replaced with food for the family.
"Hmph, it's this tiger-shaped flag again. He has built so many armors, which shows that he has a heart to kill." Xu Yuanwailang snorted coldly.
It was not obvious when he was in the Ming Dynasty, but after he came to the grassland, almost all the people of the Tiger Flag he saw wore armor, not only iron armor, but also cotton armor.
Even if Tiger Character Banner did not commit any rebellious move, the fact that Tiger Character Flag raised so many soldiers and horses and built armor is enough to prove that Tiger Character Flag has a disloyal heart.
"Sir, be careful that the walls have ears. There are too many people with the Tiger Flag here in Qingcheng." Mr. Ba looked around with a wary expression.
"Let your people lead the way and go to the Khan Palace first." Xu Yuanwailang threw the reins in his hand to the commander beside him with a dark face and stepped forward.
The general manager took the reins and at the same time scolded Ye Bushou beside him: "What are you still doing? Why don't you go ahead and lead the way?"
Ye Bushou walked a few steps quickly and ran to the front of the team to lead the way.
The group of people walked straight forward along the street.
Pedestrians on the road included Mongolians and Han Chinese. No matter who they were, when they suddenly saw Xu Yuanwai Lang wearing official robes, they all looked at him curiously.
Even the Mongolians who don't know the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty are the same.
Mongolians and Han people living in Qingcheng have long been accustomed to each other's dress. Now, suddenly there is a Han man dressed in an unusual way on the street. It is difficult not to attract attention.
Especially among the Han people living in Qingcheng, many people have seen the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty.
On the streets of Qingcheng, they saw the familiar official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty again, which made many people curious about how the officials of the Ming Dynasty came to Qingcheng.
I was curious, but no one went to inquire.
Xu Yuanwailang was wearing official uniform, which was not particularly convenient for walking, and he could not ride a horse, so the group of people could not walk very fast.
At the beginning, he quite enjoyed the gazes of the people around him, but as time went by, he felt like a monkey being watched by people on the street.
"Sir, please be patient for a while. Everything will be fine when we get to the Khan Palace." The general manager who was walking aside was always paying attention to Xu Yuanwai Lang. When he saw that Xu Yuanwai Lang's expression was wrong, he expressed relief.
Xu Yuanwailang did not speak, but walked forward holding his official uniform with both hands.
"We should find a sedan to carry you to King Shunyi's Khan Palace. Who is Master Xu? Just walking on the street like this loses the dignity of the court." Jinyiwei Baihu said with dissatisfaction.
His dissatisfaction was directed at the manager.
"We're almost there. Sir, please hold on. Qingcheng can't compare to the capital after all, and we didn't see any bearers along the way." Mr. Ba said with an apologetic smile.
"Okay, hurry up and get on your way." Xu Yuanwailang said expressionlessly.
Qingcheng is not a big city, let alone the capital.
Xu Yuanwailang and his party walked about half a stick of incense and finally saw the Khan Palace in the city.
"Is this the Khan Palace of King Shunyi?" Xu Yuanwailang stood opposite the Khan Palace, looking at the Khan Palace in front of him, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
The Khan Palace in front of him was far worse than he imagined. Any royal palace in the Ming Dynasty would look more magnificent than the Khan Palace in front of him.
The man who led the way bowed his waist and said: "To tell you what to say to the adults, I have found several people to find out that this is indeed the Khan Palace of King Shunyi."
"After all, they are some barbarians who are far inferior to my Chinese orthodoxy." Xu Yuanwailang glanced contemptuously at the Khan Palace in front of him.
Mr. Ba said at this time: "Now that we have arrived, sir, let's go in first!"
"My lord, you are the envoy to the grassland, but the people of the Tiger Character Banner are making things difficult for you in front of the city gate. I just want to take this opportunity to ask King Shunyi to give you an explanation." Jin Yiwei Baihu said.
Xu Yuanwailang nodded with his hand on his beard.
The words of Jinyiwei Baihu entered his heart.
When I see King Shunyi soon, I must ask King Shunyi to give these Tiger Flag people in Qingcheng a hard lesson. I believe King Shunyi will still give him this face.
There were several Mongolian soldiers guarding the gate of the Khan's Palace.
As soon as people like Xu Yuanwailang appeared, they noticed it and stared at these people warily.
"Stop, this is the Khan's Palace. Anyone who has no business will leave immediately." A Mongolian soldier outside the Khan's Palace stopped Xu Yuanwailang who was walking in the lead.
These Mongolian soldiers recognized that the people in front of them were Han people, and they just made a sound to drive them away. If they were Mongolians, they would have started to drive them away.
"Excuse me, please go in and let me know. This is the envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty. He has come specially to see your Great Khan." The general opened his mouth and introduced Xu Yuanwailang to the Mongolian soldier who stopped them.
