Qiongzhou boundary.
"Miss, the front is the border of Qiongzhou. Compared with Songhe, it is much warmer here."
Inside the carriage.
The maid Xiaolian stuck her head out, and after staring ahead for a while, she happily got back into the carriage.
Above officialdom.
The warm breeze is blowing, and the sun shines through the leaves on the top of the trees and onto the earth.
Wei Qingwan sat in the carriage.
Seeing Xiaolian making such a fuss, she seemed very curious about everything.
He couldn't help but reveal a shallow smile.
From wearing cotton clothes in the beginning, to cloth clothes, and now to wearing gauze clothes.
Along the way, the scenery changed with their steps.
Everything gives people a sense of change with each passing day.
original.
They should have arrived here more than ten days ago.
only.
Because Wei Qingwan was not in a good mood, he was walking and shopping along the way.
So the trip was a lot slower, and I basically just traveled all the way.
The carriage swayed and made a few rumbles from time to time.
but.
Wei Qingwan was used to it.
can only say.
The official system of Yao Kingdom really needs to be repaired.
"Um?"
Just when Wei Qingwan had become accustomed to the bumps.
After seeing the stone tablet with the Qiongzhou boundary engraved on it.
Wei Qingwan couldn't help but be stunned by the ridiculously smooth carriage that suddenly stopped shaking.
She couldn't help but poked her head out and took a look outside.
I saw.
In the past, the road in my impression was full of sand and gravel, and the official road would be full of mud when it rained.
After entering the Qiongzhou border, his appearance immediately changed.
Not only is it a lot more spacious, but the ground is also incredibly flat.
"Uncle Fang, what's going on? Why is the road here so smooth?"
Involuntarily, she asked the driver.
Uncle Fang is an old coachman from the palace. He has traveled extensively for so many years and has gained a lot of experience.
"Miss, don't tell me, this is the first time for me to see such a smooth road in so many years."
"Logically speaking, my impression is that Qiongzhou is a border state of the empire. Whether or not it has official status is another question."
"Who knew, the roads here are even better than those in Luoling."
Wei Qingwan nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, I have been to Qiongzhou before. In my impression, Qiongzhou is very remote, and the people's lives are also very difficult. Where did they get the money to build such a good road?"
Several people were surprised.
Another move forward.
finally.
In the afternoon.
They arrived in front of Qiongzhou City!
I saw.
The Qiongzhou City towers into the clouds, and its walls look even taller than those in the Imperial Capital.
The defenders looked brave and powerful, with bright pupils.
See this.
Wei Qingwan couldn't help being stunned again.
It has been ten years since I last came to Qiongzhou.
Ten years is neither long nor short.
When it comes to things changing and people changing, ten years is really enough time for people to go through a lot.
But when it comes to changes in people's lives, it's true that in these ten years, nothing has changed in many cases.
The days will even get harder and harder.
But I don’t know why in Qiongzhou City.
That's it, he suddenly changed his appearance.
Compared with ten years ago, it seems that it is no longer the same city.
"Bingdie, what's going on? Why are the changes in Qiongzhou City so big?"
Good thing.
Another maid who went out to inquire for information has returned.
There are two maids around Wei Qingwan, and they have grown up with Wei Qingwan.
Xiaolian has an out-of-the-box temperament, is quirky and very good at making people happy.
At the same time, he is also very good at taking care of others. He is a little pistachio.
When he came to Qiongzhou this time, the few times Wei Qingwan laughed along the way, it was all because of her.
Bingdie always has a cold face, is not as clever as Xiaolian, and is not as likable as Xiaolian.
But the biggest advantage of Bingdie is that she is reliable enough.
And he has good martial arts skills.
On weekdays, she is the one who inquires about information and does some dangerous things.
Just three days ago.
Bingdie had already arrived in Qiongzhou City in advance.
According to Wei Qingwan's instructions, come here in advance to see the specific locations of some properties and fields.
Just half an hour ago.
Bingdie just came back.
"Miss, Bingdie asked specifically about this matter."
"Everyone mentioned a name regarding the changes in Qiongzhou City."
"who?"
When Wei Qingwan heard this, he raised his head slightly, with a hint of curiosity on his face.
"The magistrate of Qiongzhou City, He Taiming."
"He Taiming?"
Wei Qingwan nodded after hearing the name.
Um.
She had an impression of this person.
The tough battle ten years ago was the time when he almost died on the battlefield.
He Taiming once extended a helping hand to himself and helped him.
only.
He was just a county magistrate at that time.
Who would have thought that it would take just ten years.
He is an official with few connections and no hope of promotion.
At first, after returning to the capital, I wanted to help him claim credit as much as possible.
Unfortunately.
He was unconscious at the time.
When I woke up, everything changed.
The Prince of Changnan was under suspicion, and he never had the chance to help those who had helped him in the first place.
Now, it's great to hear that this person has been promoted.
"So, in the final analysis, these changes in Qiongzhou City are all because of He Taiming?"
"Yes, miss. At least, many state policies in Qiongzhou City were proposed by him."
"However, later on, Bingdie found out some gossip."
"Grapevine?"
"Yes, some people say that in fact He Taiming is just a spokesperson standing in front of the stage. It is another person who really changes Qiongzhou."
"who?"
"Dayao Bandit Commander, Qiongzhou will return next month!"
Dayao Pirate Commander?
Wei Qingwan had heard of this name before.
Dayao's world has always been a mixed bag, with people from all walks of life.
Many people also like to get together and make some rankings.
As for Dayao's bandit commander, he was the leader of thieves selected by a group of big and small thieves.
It is said.
This Qiongzhou Yuexiahui first came to prominence in Qiongzhou.
Before each robbery, he would send a letter to someone's house.
After the theft is completed.
People often see him under the moonlight.
Qiongzhou gets its name from the next chapter of the month.
Qiongzhou Yue is a thief next time.
The ones he stole were always high-ranking officials or squires and landowners.
And the things he steals will eventually be used to help poor people.
Among the people, his prestige is extremely high.
"I've heard about this Qiongzhou Yuexiazhi. But what is his relationship with He Taiming?"
"Miss, it's like this. Some people say that someone once saw He Taiming and Qiongzhou Yuexiahui meeting. Moreover, He Taiming followed Qiongzhou Yuexiahui's orders."
"It's just that the source of this news is unclear, and there are different opinions, so Bingdie needs to continue to confirm."
"Okay. But if that's the case, we can win over Qiongzhou next time."
"My husband, there are many dangers in the capital. If it is true as the rumors say, this Qiongzhou Yuexiahu has such ability. If he can help my husband, my husband should be more comfortable in the capital."
Wei Qingwan said calmly.
I felt that my head suddenly became hot, and the next second I fainted without warning.
Half a day later.
That's Xiao Ning who is about to arrive at the Qiongzhou border.
Already received the news from Iron Fist!
Wei Qingwan fell ill when he first arrived in Qiongzhou!
Most likely, it’s because of the plague!
plague.
In this day and age, that could kill someone at any time!
It seems that this time, I have to make a trip.
He can't trust others!
