Chapter 499 Entering Beijing
Xiao Wan was completely unaware of all this. They spent several days in Luo'an City investigating, and Zhang Liang also kept a close eye on things for a few days. The shadow that had been following them that day never appeared again, and everyone was finally relieved.
Xiao Wan also breathed a sigh of relief. If the ones following them were actually bandits who had slipped through the net, they would be in a difficult position. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
The group consisted mostly of women, and most of them were not skilled in martial arts; it was best to avoid any trouble.
With their supplies replenished, the group continued their journey to the capital. Whether it was because they had wiped out the vicious bandits earlier or something else, the trip went relatively smoothly.
Seeing the city gates of the capital so close, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Liang, Granny He, Qingzhu, and the others were originally from the capital, so they were not surprised to see the city gate.
Little Fish, however, was somewhat timid. Looking at the tall and imposing city gate, the guards at the gate wore swords and had serious expressions as they carefully checked the documents of everyone entering the city.
She was not even ten years old and had grown up in the countryside since she was a child, so she had never been to such a big place before.
Back in his hometown, he had already thought it was impressive to have met the county magistrate and visited Jiyun City. He never imagined that there was such a magnificent city as the capital. As a result, Xiaoyuer couldn't help but feel intimidated.
Xiao Wan calmly hugged her younger sister and gently patted her back to comfort her.
She was naturally surprised and excited to see the ancient capital, but compared to the Forbidden City in her previous life, the capital at this time, although magnificent and prosperous, was not enough to make her lose her composure.
But the thought of being able to come to the city where the political power center of the Yuan Dynasty was located filled Xiao Wan with joy.
The little fish in her arms felt the warmth and comfort of her older sister's embrace, which eased her tension and calmed her down.
Soon it was Xiao Wan's turn to ride in her carriage. When the guards saw two carriages approaching, they ordered the people to get off.
Zhang Liang and the others got out of the carriage, but they didn't let Xiao Wan and Xiao Yu'er get out.
Zhang Liang cleverly stepped forward and handed the group's documents to the soldiers guarding the city.
After the soldiers checked the documents, they asked Xiao Wan to get out of the carriage and inspected it.
Bai Tuantuan had already entered the space by this time, so there was no trace of her on the car.
Zhang Liang then took out the county magistrate's credentials and token and handed them over, stepping forward and saying, "Thank you for your trouble, sir. This is the carriage of the Huide County Magistrate of Jiyun City. It is inconvenient for her to get out of the carriage. Here are the county magistrate's credentials and token. Please take a look, sir."
The young soldier was taken aback after hearing this. He took the document from Zhang Liang and examined it carefully, but did not allow Xiao Wan and the others to get off the vehicle for the time being.
As he inspected the place, he kept thinking to himself, "Princess Huide? Jiyun City? Why does that name sound so familiar..."
Upon hearing Zhang Liang's words, another soldier felt a pang of anxiety, as if he had thought of something, and immediately ran to report to his superior.
The inspecting soldiers opened the document and saw it clearly stated, "In the 13th year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, ... conferred the title of Fifth-Rank County Lady of Huide, with the fief of Jiyun City..."
Upon seeing this, the soldier quickly put away the document and saluted the carriage.
Xiao Wan poked her head out and smiled, telling the soldier not to stand on ceremony.
Just then, it seemed that the general guarding the city had arrived, and the young soldier hurriedly reported to his superior.
Xiao Wan thought she would still have to get out of the car for inspection, so she sighed. She didn't intend to challenge the authority of the capital's guards. As a newcomer, it was best to avoid any further conflicts.
Just don't scare the little fish.
But the general hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, Princess Huide. I am Yang Zhao, the commander of the city garrison. My men were impolite and disturbed you. Please forgive them. I will punish them."
Seeing this, Xiao Wan didn't put on airs. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and smiled, "General Yang, you are too polite. The soldiers guarding the city did not make things difficult for me. Besides, stopping for inspection is their job, so I should cooperate."
Yang Qianzong breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting to see the legendary county princess.
Fortunately, we didn't offend this Lady Huide. She seemed easy to talk to and not the kind of person who would hold a grudge.
Moreover, he had heard of this legendary peasant girl county princess. If it weren't for her finding potatoes as a food source, which made up for the food shortage in some parts of the Yuan Dynasty, countless people in the Yuan Dynasty would have starved to death.
Moreover, he was acting on orders from above, and hadn't changed shifts for the past few days, specifically guarding the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the County Princess Huide.
The instructions were that the county magistrate should be treated with respect, and that her carriage should not be obstructed.
Yang Zhao was worried that the Princess of Huide would make things difficult for him or be arrogant, but he did not expect the Princess of Huide to be so kind.
As expected of someone who was personally appointed by the Emperor for great merit, she rose to the esteemed rank of fifth-grade county princess, yet she did not look down on others with arrogance.
