However, at this moment, their ship had arrived at the port, and the officials and gentry from below came to welcome the lords. There were also civilians blocked outside by officials from the yamen. They looked jubilant, so Nanyan was naturally not good to say more at this time.

He only took a few more glances and reached out to hold the fence.

Soon, the boat landed, and the first one was a boat of guards behind. After landing, they immediately lined up on the dock, blocking all the people who were greeting the dock. After everything was arranged, Zhu Feng slowly walked up to the dock with Nanyan.

As soon as his feet stepped onto the shore, the person who came to greet him immediately knelt down on the ground, shouting long live the mountain.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhu Feng looked down at these people.

Then he said, "Where is Xu Shifeng?"

When Xiao Shunzi heard this, he immediately lowered his hands and ran forward a few steps. He soon ran to the crowd that was lined up to pick him up and found Xu Shifeng. He was kneeling at the forefront of the team. Xiao Shunzi saluted him and said, "General Xu, the emperor asked you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shifeng hurriedly got up and followed him to Zhu Feng.

Still kneeling down and saluting: "I am paying homage to the emperor, I am here to apologize to the emperor!"

Along the way, the emotions that seemed to have calmed down only at this moment caused a stir. Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng and gritted his teeth, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, fearing that he would have an attack here.

However, after a while of silence, Zhu Feng only said in a deep voice: "After going back, let me know clearly!"

"yes."

At this time, the officials here also came forward to pay tribute to the emperor.

If Zhu Feng had arrived in a place, no matter how busy he was, he would talk to the local officials and ask about the local people's livelihood. But this time, facing these officials who came to pick him up carefully, he had a cold expression and did not mean to talk to them more. He waved his hand: "Okay, let's go down. When I have something to give me, I will send you my instructions. Don't disturb me at other times."

When several officials heard this, they looked at each other.

Originally, they prepared a grand dinner, including taking the blame for Lord Ye's death, but when they saw the emperor's current situation, they had no intention of paying attention to them.

They didn't dare to talk much either.

They said one after another: "Yes, the officials and others will receive the order."

After saying that, he stepped aside.

Zhu Feng walked forward, and Xu Shifeng naturally followed him. Zhu Feng asked, "What are you in the row of my residence and stop here?"

Xu Shifeng followed by, walking and saying, "The officials here originally wanted to build a palace and a villa here, but Weichen knew that the emperor did not like extravagance and stopped them. Only one gentry here gave his home courtyard for the emperor to sit and do business in Cuicang County."

Zhu Feng looked back at him.

Although his face was still cold, his expression calmed down a little.

He said, "It's good."

“…”

"I don't plan to stay here for more."

"ah?"

Xu Shifeng was stunned for a moment.

Not only was he stunned, but Nan Yan, who was following Zhu Feng for a moment, was stunned. However, she didn't say much, and this was not the time when she, as a concubine, was still following quietly.

Xu Shifeng looked up at Zhu Feng with some surprise: "The emperor means, don't you stay here for more?"

"certainly,"

Zhu Feng said: "The reason why I came here is to find out what Ye Zheng is doing, and by the way, I also have to pay tribute to him personally."

“…”

"After finishing this, I will still go to Jinling Palace immediately."

“…”

“That’s where I should go.”

Xu Shifeng was stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that the emperor had arranged to go south so quickly after receiving the news, so he must directly use troops against Xingluohu. After all, Ye Zheng's death was of great significance to him, and the emperor must have avenged this revenge.

But unexpectedly, he just came here to pay tribute.

Although this surprised him a little, who dared to say more about the emperor's arrangements?

Xu Shifeng lowered his head and said, "I understand, I understand."

Zhu Feng said: "You go down and arrange your troops. After paying tribute to Ye Zheng, follow me to Jinling."

"……yes."

After a while, they got off the dock, and the road was filled with local people, all of whom came to pick them up after hearing the news.

As soon as he saw the emperor, everyone knelt down in one go. Zhu Feng looked up and saw only a black head under his feet. But at this time, he had no intention of saying anything. He just moved forward and soon walked to the convoy prepared by the government for them.

Xiao Shunzi helped him into the carriage.

Nan Yan naturally had to get on the carriage, but before boarding the carriage, she turned around and looked at Xu Shifeng. Xu Shifeng also lowered his head and said, "Empress Concubine."

Nan Yan said: "General, where is Ran Xiaoyu? Didn't she be with you?"

When talking about this, Xu Shifeng's face was slightly dim.

When he saw his face, he didn't see Ran Xiaoyu in the crowd that was already receiving the car. Nan Yan, who was already a little uneasy, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Is something wrong with her?"

Xu Shifeng shook his head quickly and said, "No, she doesn't."

"……ah."

After hearing this, Nan Yan felt relieved.

He asked again: "Since nothing happened, why not come to pick you up?"

According to the relationship between her and Ran Xiaoyu, especially Ran Xiaoyu's attitude towards her, she believed that even if her legs were cut off, Ran Xiaoyu would crawl to her side.

Xu Shifeng said softly: "This... I can't understand it for a while."

"Um?"

"Anyway, the Empress went to another hall and understood when she saw her."

Hearing him say this, Nan Yan frowned again, but there was no time to ask in detail at this time. Moreover, we were about to meet, so there was no need to say more.

So he said, "Okay."

Then he turned around and got on the carriage.

Soon, the imperial convoy left the dock and drove towards the county under the protection of the front and rear government guards and the emperor's Jinyiwei.

Cuicang County is not big. Although it is a port, it was originally a merchant from all over the country and should be very rich. However, they are in the Xingluo Lake basin, because there are fewer merchant ships passing through the Xingluo Lake than other ports. Although they are in a peaceful and prosperous era, they also seem a bit desolate.

All this can be seen from the scenery you see along the way and the situation after entering the town.

The carriage soon arrived at the garden given by the squire as Xu Shifeng said.

The garden is not big, it is clean and bright when you go in and out.

There were already guards there. After the emperor's imperial guards arrived, personal soldiers immediately entered, replacing the guards. After a little cleaning, Zhu Feng took Nanyan in.
