Rebirth: Lie down with the system

On the road again, Shi Qing got on the modified carriage.

Before they entered the city, Shi Qing drew a shock-absorbing drawing and gave it to Murong Li's caravan, asking them to find someone to make a shock-absorbing device for the carriage.

In fact, they are springs and shock absorbers.

Both of these things can alleviate the impact of road vibrations on the carriage.

Spring can convert the vibration of the road into elastic energy, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the carriage.

The shock absorber can dissipate the energy released by the spring, thereby making the carriage more stable.

When Shi Qing had had enough of lying down, he rode horses with Murong Li and the others, smuggling some snacks from the system to them from time to time.

The journey was relaxing and pleasant.

Regarding his behavior that he enjoyed more than the prince, after seeing that his martial arts skills were higher than those of the two commanders, and knowing that he was the commander's biological brother, everyone turned a blind eye in a tacit understanding.

Now that there is a shock-absorbing carriage, several people are willing to stay in the carriage with Shi Qing. Not only can they drink hot tea, but they can also eat snacks brought by Shi Qing. How beautiful!

"Shiqing, can sucking the balls of a dolphin beast really make the meat more delicious?"

This is Shiwu's question, and it is also a question shared by several others.

Shiqing glared at them.

"of course it's true!"

"Then how do you know? I don't think you have raised pigs yourself?"

Does this mean that you have to see him holding a knife in his own hands?

"I have never eaten pork and have never seen a pig run away. You don't have to do everything yourself to know it. This is the summary of the seniors! If you are ignorant, don't take me with you!"

Shiwu...

Shiwen...

Murong Li...

The three ignorant people shut their mouths at the same time.

As the team marched, it was slow but smooth, and there were no blind people blocking the way.

Shi Qing was still a little disappointed. This journey lasted for more than ten days. Occasionally he passed through towns and villages where he could stay overnight, and other times he slept in the wild. The journey was uneventful and a bit boring. The further north he went, the more spacious and sparsely populated he became. , the scenery has changed from dense forest to Gobi desert.

This day they arrived - Fenghe Prefecture.

This city has a long history and splendid culture. It is one of the birthplaces of Ningyuan Kingdom civilization and the ancestral home of the six aristocratic families - the Qin family.

To be honest, Shi Qing is not very clear about the six aristocratic families. Now he knows about Murong Li's mother's family - the Han family, the queen's natal family - the Wei family, the Li family in Cangjiu City, the Zheng family who embezzled military pay, and Now the Qin family in Fenghe Prefecture.

According to Shi Wen, the Qin family has many descendants. Whether they are the descendants of the main family or the side branches, they are all talented in literature and have many officials in the court. Therefore, His Majesty is both afraid of and dependent on the Qin family. Fortunately, the Qin family People are more sensible and have freed up important official positions in the court, and their descendants are not out of line in their actions, so His Majesty did not target the Qin family.

Now that the weather is getting colder, several people are huddled in the carriage where Shi Qing is sitting, drinking hot tea and chatting.

After listening to Shiwen's introduction, Shi Qing asked lazily.

"Does that mean the Qin family has no ill intentions towards us?"

"Not sure, we haven't had any contact with the person in charge of the Qin family."

"Shi Qing, do you still remember Qin An from Xingyue City? He is a branch of the Qin family."

Only then did Shi Qing remember Qin An, the governor of Xingyue City whom he had met before. At that time, they had met him several times in order to solve the problem of homeless children.

At that time, he only felt that this person was very addicted to officialdom, but he could still listen to the opinions of his subordinates. At least he was not a faint official. Shi Qing didn't know much about other things.

Now that we have arrived in Fenghe Prefecture, we can meet the Qin family. Anyone who can understand what is interesting is at least a smart person.

The team entered the city gate of Fenghe Prefecture in an orderly manner. The city was bustling with activity, and the buildings in it also had local characteristics.

The clear sky shows the middle tower of the temple, and the morning dawn makes the city climb upstairs.

The noise of carriages and horses is gone, and the sound of whips is heard as they wander across Fengzhou.

……

They looked at this different scene curiously, and the people in the city also looked at them curiously.

Except for the army transporting food and grass, they rarely saw such a dissimilar team.

It can be said that it is a caravan, but this team is very large and guarded by soldiers.

But speaking of the army's grain and grass officers, there are many people in this team who are not wearing military uniforms.

Along the way, they were looked at.

Fenghe Prefecture is a bazaar where northern nomads and Han people conduct trade exchanges. The residents here are mostly engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts and commerce. Gold and silver mines, salt industry, and ceramics industry are important sources of economy.

It can be seen that it is quite prosperous, with cities, palaces, temples, pagodas and villages scattered all over it.

In the northwest corner, there is an ancient pagoda, which is completely white and still stands majestically after thousands of years.

Because the surface of the tower is coated with a layer of chalk soil, which is both beautiful and keeps the tower dry, it is commonly known as the "White Tower".

It is like a sharp sword, thrust straight into the blue sky. The white tower body complements the long white clouds. The sun shines from the top of the tower. The tower body is magnificent, colorful, simple and majestic. The people here call it "White Tower Towering Light". ".

The advance troops had already taken the tokens and went to notify the state capital.

After entering the city gate, there was already a group of people waiting here, but looking at his clothes, it was obvious that he was not the head of a state government office. Are the Qin family planning to avoid seeing them?

Murong Li was sitting on a tall horse with an imposing manner, looking down at the leader with cold eyes. Shiwen Shiwu also rode beside Murong Li and frowned at the man.

The leader was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a mustache. He was Hou Qingfeng, a subordinate of the governor Qin Mingmo.

Seeing this imposing young man and the two people next to him with similar looks, he guessed that the one leading the way must be the fourth prince, so he led others to salute Murong Li.

"Xia Guanfeng and Governor Shi Hou Qingfeng, pay homage to the Fourth Prince! Mr. Qin is ill and cannot come to greet the Fourth Prince in person. He specially asked his subordinates to prepare good wine and food to apologize to the Prince on his behalf. He also asked the Fourth Prince to accompany him. I'm going to go..."

Murong Li was noncommittal. Regardless of whether Mr. Qin was really ill or just arrogant, avoiding him now would not have much impact on him. In the eyes of the world, he was already a powerless prince, so it was normal not to be seen.

Seeing that he didn't make any noise, Hou Qingfeng was secretly relieved, but at the same time he felt a little contemptuous.

As expected, he was an unpopular prince. Although he got the job of opening the mutual market, he still had to swallow his anger in the face of the aristocratic family's humiliation.

But he still had a respectful look on his face and trotted ahead to lead the way.

The large army followed the people to the post station to eat and rest, while several principals of Murong Li were taken to Qin Mingmo's private residence.

Several people frowned slightly, what on earth does Mr. Qin want to do? He excused himself at the gate of the city because he was ill. They thought he looked down on them and planned to avoid him. Now, he asked someone to take them to his mansion.

Are you ready to condescend to meet them?

Shi Qing followed a few people and raised his eyebrows with a smile.

This Qin family is a bit interesting~

If they were brought to an inn or government office, Shi Qing would still think that Qin Mingmo really looked down on Murong Li, a powerless prince, and these grassroots upstarts, and was prepared to treat them casually and treat them to a meal. They were sent on their way.

Now that they have been brought to his private residence, could the scene at the city gate be a play that was staged to avoid the eyes of others? Is this really a conspiracy against Murong Li?

I just don’t know what there is about Murong Li that deserves the Qin family’s attention...
