Looking at Qin Heng's slightly tired face, Qin Cheng said with concern: "You must be exhausted from the journey."
"Fortunately, I'm not very tired." Qin Heng suppressed his excitement and shook his head.
He did not let Zhang Long and others carry him out of the car because he considered that this was a foreign county and as the prince of Da Qin, he had to maintain the dignity of the royal family.
If his disabled legs were seen in public, it would probably arouse unnecessary publicity.
Qin Heng thought to himself that the reason why Brother Wang took the initiative to greet him must have been thinking of this.
"Come, let me introduce to you, this is Gao Xuan, the governor of Ruyang County."
"This is the Junwei Dynasty." Qin Cheng introduced, pointing to Gao Xuan and a middle-aged general wearing armor.
"Meet King Xiaoxian." The Ruyang County officials standing aside quickly saluted respectfully.
"My lords, please get up quickly." Qin Heng sat there, turning his head with a hint of majesty.
Gao Xuan was nearly forty years old, with a plump figure and a slightly bulging abdomen, while Junwei Dynasty was tall and powerful.
These two people are the first and second leaders of Ruyang County. They are in charge of civil affairs and military affairs respectively. Their status is slightly higher than that of the county guards.
"You must be exhausted after a long journey. Brother Wang, please take you home to rest first." Qin Cheng had a smile on his face and a friendly look on his face.
After saying that, he looked at Gao Xuan and others again, and continued: "Governor Gao, you go ahead and get busy, I'm going back home first."
"Yes, then I won't disturb the two princes." Gao Xuan led everyone aside knowingly.
He wished he could stay far away from these two princes. They, the county guards, were very taboo about getting close to these princes.
Once it is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, it will definitely be them, the county guards, who suffer in the end.
After all, he is His Majesty's son, how can they compare with him.
"Let's go, brother Wang, I'll lead the way." Qin Cheng turned around and said.
"Okay, Brother Wang."
Qin Heng nodded slightly. He now urgently wanted to chat with Qin Cheng and ask about some specific situations.
Qin Cheng led the people towards his Wang Qinggai car.
Qin Heng motioned to Zhang Long to tell Long Yi to follow him. Long Yi had not come over just now. He was still riding on his horse, watching them from the front.
Along the way, either because of his personality or because he didn't want to have too much contact with him, Long Yi didn't have much conversation with him.
In fact, if you think about it, as a servant of your father, there is no need to curry favor with princes like them.
Moreover, this idea of loyalty to the monarch has long been ingrained in their minds, and they will not get close to them.
They followed Qin Cheng's car and entered Ruyang City. The city is bustling with people coming and going, and it is very prosperous.
Market vendors on both sides of the street screamed one after another, creating a lively market scene.
Qin Heng couldn't help but be surprised by the prosperity of this city. Although Ruyang City was not as good as Qindu, it was much more prosperous than other counties and cities.
Soon after, Qin Heng and others arrived at Prince Ruyang's Mansion.
Zhang Long lifted him out of the car, and Qin Cheng also walked over from the other side.
"How about it? Brother Wang, this palace is pretty good."
"It's more than good. Brother Wang's mansion is simply too grand." Qin Heng looked at the palace in front of him and let out a sigh of admiration.
The mansion is magnificent, with two majestic stone lions standing in front of the door, showing their teeth and claws, showing extraordinary magnificence.
The tall vermilion palace door was now wide open, with a row of solemn-looking guards on both sides standing there majestically.
"Haha, let's go in with Brother Wang." Qin Cheng felt a little proud when he heard this.
This mansion was built extensively after he came, but it cost a lot of money.
Zhang Long pushed him and followed Qin Cheng, followed closely by Long Yi and Doctor Xu.
As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a grand courtyard.
The courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. A path paved with bluestone leads directly to the lobby.
Walking into the lobby, it is spacious, bright and luxurious, with various exquisite ornaments placed on both sides.
Qin Heng couldn't help but secretly smacked his lips after scanning. They were both princes, but his mansion really couldn't compare.
"Everyone, sit down." Qin Cheng pointed to the chairs next to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Long Yi and Doctor Xu sat down.
Long Yi's expression remained normal, while Imperial Physician Xu's expression seemed slightly reserved.
Several slaves came in holding tea cups.
"I didn't expect that Commander Long would come here in person this time." Qin Cheng looked at Long Yi and exclaimed.
Qin Heng's eyes moved. It seemed that Brother Wang knew Long Yi.
But think about it, Qin Cheng is a lot older than him, and he left the palace early, so there is nothing wrong with him knowing Long Yi.
"Your Majesty, you are overly praised." Long Yi's expression remained cold.
Qin Cheng smiled slightly and was not angry. He had known Long Yi's character for a long time. He turned to Qin Heng and said, "Brother Wang, I originally thought that my father would not agree to your coming."
"Brother Wang also begged my father for a long time." Qin Heng recalled the scene that day and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
There was no way, Xiao Zhiyi couldn't explain it that day, he could only express his feelings.
"Speaking of which, Brother Wang is also ashamed. He originally planned to send someone in to inquire and see if he could get the holy Gu and send it to you. Unexpectedly, Li Mountain is extremely dangerous. Only Zhang Yong and three of the people sent in escaped. ." Qin Cheng sighed in a low voice, with a trace of shame on his face.
"Brother Wang, please don't say that. It's Brother Wang's fault when it comes to it." Qin Heng looked anxious and spoke quickly.
As he spoke, there was a hint of guilt on his face: "If it weren't for Brother Wang, Brother Wang wouldn't have lost so many people. Even the clan servants lost two."
"Alas." When Qin Cheng heard this, the pain in his heart surged up again. The sacrifice of the two sect servants was indeed a great loss for him.
"Prince Qi, I wonder if the three sect servants can let the general meet." Long Yi, who was standing by, saw that the two men looked downcast and couldn't help but ask.
During this trip to Lishan, he had a very heavy task, so even as a master, he did not dare to be careless.
After hearing this, Qin Cheng cheered up, nodded and said: "Commander Long, wait a moment, I will send someone to call them over."
After saying that, he turned to look at Ma Zheng beside him and signaled slightly.
Ma Zheng nodded, turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Long Yi saw this, he cupped his fists and said thank you.
Qin Cheng nodded slightly, his expression became slightly serious, and then said: "When Gu Gang came to Ruyang County, he bought some slaves, and one of them told the story about the Li tribe's holy Gu in order to seek reward."
"He entered Lishan by mistake a few years ago and met a Li man. From the conversation, he learned about the Holy Gu."
"Brother Wang, has Ping Nu said anything about the situation of the Li people?" Qin Heng couldn't help but ask from the side.
This matter was not only about his legs, but also about his own safety when entering Lishan, so he wanted to know as much as possible about the situation so that he could make some arrangements.
