Iron Dynasty

The boat is still floating on the broad Yellow River.

One day after the Qingzhou merchant ships left Chang'an Pier, King Zhao's soldiers and horses appeared on the riverbank.

Now that they have been drifting in the river for five days, according to Li San's words, they will be able to arrive at Qingzhou Pier in two days at most.

These days, they have been staying on merchant ships, because they have been prepared in advance, and the merchant ships have sufficient food in the cabins, which is enough to ensure that they can live on board.

It's just that the closer they are to Qingzhou, the more nervous the officials on the ship are. They are not familiar with Qi Wang, and they also don't know what will happen.

These days, many people are deliberately getting close to Fiji. This Fiji Zhongshu is the father-in-law of King Qi. Maybe he can say a few good words for himself in front of King Qi.

The boat continued to float in the river, and in the afternoon a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the bank of the river, and these cavalry wore silver breastplates.

After seeing the merchant ships, the cuirassiers gestured at the fleet for a while, and then one person raised a flag on the shore.

Li San on the merchant ship was overjoyed when he saw Semaphore and these cuirassiers, and then asked the secret guard to beat Semaphore back.

After getting clear information, the cuirassiers began to follow the merchant ships along the river bank to Qingzhou.

Fiji Zhongshu, there is news from Li San. He said that this is the cuirassier of the Qingzhou Army. It is estimated that His Royal Highness King Qi sent us to protect us. The soldier guarding the stern came over and said to Fiji.

In order to ensure that the information on the ship is accessible, there will be a person at the stern of each ship who is responsible for communicating.

When everyone heard the words, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Fiji said: It seems that His Royal Highness has received news from Chang'an, so he sent these cuirassiers out to protect us.

The other officials on the boat looked happy. King Qi's action made a stone in their hearts fall to the ground. It seemed that King Qi took them seriously.

With the protection of the cuirassiers, the atmosphere on the merchant ship immediately became noisy. People on each merchant ship discussed Qingzhou with each other, and Xiao Ming's name was frequently mentioned.

On the seventh day, the fleet saw Qingzhou Wharf from a distance, and merchant ships lined up along the river bank along the Qingzhou Wharf. The prosperity of Qingzhou Wharf surprised them. In their opinion, the prosperity of Qingzhou Wharf has surpassed Chang'an Wharf. .

Seeing that they were about to arrive at Chang'an, everyone on the merchant ship stood up. Unlike yesterday's discussion, everyone's faces were solemn, the ship was terrifyingly quiet, and everyone was worried about their own fate.

The pier was getting closer, when everyone saw the scene on the pier, a young man in a blue round-necked gown was standing on the pier.

Beside him are four beauties with outstanding appearance, especially the women beside the youth are even more beautiful, while beside the five are some people dressed as officials.

It's Sister Luluo and Sister Aster. Liuli looked around on the boat, and when she saw Luluo and Aster, she suddenly shouted.

The maids in the Bishui Pavilion also saw the direction of the pier at this time, and they jumped and screamed with joy when they found Aster and Luluo.

Liuli entered the cabin directly. Concubine Zhen has been in the cabin these days. Because of Xiao Wenxuan's death, Concubine Zhen has been in tears these days. When she learned that Xiao Ming was on the dock, she finally showed a smile.

The boats of Fiji and Luo Quan were in the first place. After the boat docked at the pier, everyone walked down the inclined plank.

Father. Seeing Fiji, Fei Yue shouted excitedly, and tears fell.

Luo Quan and Luo Hong looked at Luo Xin with joy in their eyes.

Putting away their excitement, Fiji and Luo Quan and their son bowed to Xiao Ming at the same time and said, See Your Highness.

No gift, everyone is tired. Xiao Ming smiled and said to the three of them in Fiji. He looked at the group of merchant ships, and now these are the only people who escaped.

At this critical moment, the fact that they believed in themselves and fled to Qingzhou was enough to show that these people were all for him, and after his understanding, these officials were basically the main war officials in Chang'an.

Many officials have contributed their own strength to him in the court.

Luo Quan and Fiji looked at each other, and Fiji said sadly at this time: His Royal Highness, the old minister is incompetent, the emperor still went.

Speaking of this, Luo Quan and Luo Hong showed sad expressions at the same time.

Xiao Ming sighed in his heart, and said, This king already knows about this matter? The prince murdered the king and rebelled, and the king of Zhao helped Zhou to commit crimes. This blood debt will be recovered by this king for the father and emperor.

His Royal Highness. Luo Quan and Fiji's eyes were a little wet when they heard the words, and this promise touched their hearts for a while.

At this time, more and more ships docked, and the ship where Concubine Zhen was also docked at this time. With the help of a group of court ladies, Concubine Zhen walked down slowly.

Seeing Concubine Zhen, Xiao Ming took a few steps forward, bowed and said, Concubine Mother.

Ming'er. Seeing Xiao Ming, Concubine Zhen couldn't hold back her grief any longer. She fell into Xiao Ming's arms and burst into tears, while the other palace maids also sobbed softly. As women, they have experienced too much these days.

Xiao Ming patted Concubine Zhen's back lightly, and Concubine Zhen's arrival gave him complete peace of mind.

What he is most afraid of is that Concubine Zhen falls into the hands of King Zhao, so he will be helpless in dealing with King Zhao. After all, in the Great Yu Kingdom, filial piety is the first, even if the parents of the first-rank officials died, they would go home and observe their filial piety for three years. , this filial piety is the standard by which the world measures a person.

And this matter of saving Concubine Zhen is not only for him, but also for the officials of Qingzhou.

Mother concubine, condolences, the heroic spirit of the father and the emperor in the sky must not want to see the mother and concubine too sad. Xiao Ming said.

Concubine Zhen nodded when she heard the words.

At this time, Luluo and Ziwan stepped forward to help Concubine Zhen towards a carriage, which would take Concubine Zhen to Prince Qi's mansion.

After Concubine Zhen, ordinary soldiers came down. At this time, Luo Hong reorganized these soldiers.

Seeing these soldiers, Xiao Ming showed a smile on his face. Now that the world is in chaos, what he lacks is soldiers, and this Chang'an Rebellion not only brought him some excellent officials, but also these excellent generals and soldiers.

After Fiji saluted Xiao Ming, Fiji immediately started a conversation with Fiji, and Luo Quan and Luo Xin also talked about everyday things.

The rest of the officials got off the boat to see Xiao Ming one by one. At the same time, Xiao Ming also introduced Pang Yukun and others to these officials from Chang'an.

After an introduction on the pier, Xiao Ming said to Fiji and Luo Quan: Everyone, let's go into the city and talk about it in detail.

Fiji and Luo Quan nodded. He was about to talk to Xiao Ming about this edict, and now the Chang'an Rebellion also needs to discuss with Xiao Ming how to deal with it.
