The team marched forward for several days, and finally arrived at the boundary of Qingzhou.

When Xue Yunzhou heard the report from the people below, he quickly opened the curtain of the car and looked out curiously, only to see a piece of loess everywhere in his eyes, and he was stunned. Seeing such a desolate scene, I still couldn't help a burst of grief and indignation.

"We... are here to open up wasteland, right?"

He Yuan could only touch his head comfortingly.

Fortunately, his loss didn't last too long. Thinking that he and his second brother will be the masters of the house in the future, he soon became refreshed. In addition, he saw the city not long after, looked far away, and found that the city tower And the city wall is quite spectacular, and the mood suddenly recovered.

It was also the first time for He Yuan to return to Qingzhou. Although he had done some investigation secretly beforehand, he still lacked an intuitive impression of this place. At this time, seeing Xue Yunzhou staring at the tower with emotion, he admired it for a while, and said at the same time: " The outside of the city is really sparsely populated, and it should be much better inside the city."

Xue Yunzhou had already seen the figures of the guards on the city wall, and saw that they were holding weapons and their waists were straight, and he couldn't help but shine: "The regent left behind is not all a mess, at least the army is still very good, you Look at this tower, look at this guard, it's so decent!"

He Yuan said: "After all, he is guarding the border. How can he resist the Tuli in the north if he is not good? Besides, he himself has stayed in the capital for many years, and here he mainly relies on his capable subordinates. However, it is indeed good news to have such subordinates."

A group of people approached the city gate, and the city gate was quickly opened from the inside, and all the subordinates of King Yan's Mansion who received the news came out to welcome them.

Naturally, He Yuan didn't have any impression of these people. Fortunately, his identity was here, so he didn't need to greet each of them. He only needed to accept their salutes and greetings. This was very consistent with the original owner's usual attitude.

However, after these people met He Yuan face to face, they found that although the Yan Wang they knew was still majestic, he was completely devoid of hostility. : My lord, could it be that he is in a good mood because he is finally expecting his own heir?

It wasn't until they saw the large number of refugees behind them and thought about He Yuan's series of orders to Qingzhou that everyone vaguely realized that King Yan was quite different from before.

He Yuan left the refugees outside the city to be taken care of by special people, while he brought Xue Yunzhou into Qingzhou City surrounded by everyone.

The inside of Qingzhou city is indeed very different from the outside of the city. There are rows of shops on both sides of the street. There are people coming and going on the street. On the second floor of some restaurants, there are people looking down curiously from the windows. There are various sales shouts in the distance. The sound was very lively, and there was no sign of desolation at all.

Xue Yunzhou leaned close to He Yuan's ear and whispered, "I never expected that the folk customs here are so open, and the common people seem to be living well."

He Yuan glanced at the lively scene around him, and shook his head slightly: "Looking at their clothes, their standard of living is average, but it's true that the folk customs are simple and open. After all, they are close to the frontier, and they don't have the cautiousness of the people in the capital."

"That's right, seeing us in such a big battle, even if you don't know who we are, you should know that our status is unusual, and no one is sincere." Xue Yunzhou felt that they were a little too calm, and when he was about to say something, Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of several nearby people whispering and pointing fingers at them.

After a while, all the people changed their faces, and ran away as if fleeing for their lives. Immediately afterwards, a tense atmosphere quickly filled the scattered crowd, and someone could vaguely hear shouting: "No! The prince is back! Hurry up!" Go home and avoid it!"

There was a commotion in the street.

He Yuan: "..."

"..." Xue Yunzhou wanted to laugh, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, "Second brother, the original owner of your body has such a bad reputation, I don't know whether to sympathize with you or him."

Looking at the street that had cooled down in an instant, He Yuan's face was a little stiff: "It's unreasonable. In this era, the news is blocked and the communication is backward. It is difficult for the rumors and rumors in the capital to reach the ears of the frontier people, and the original owner has hardly stayed in Qingzhou. , how could you give such a bad image to the people in the fief?"

The two whispered, but the subordinates next to them couldn't hide the embarrassment and panic on their faces, for fear that He Yuan would severely punish them in a fit of anger.

He Yuan frowned, and said, "Lou Yongnian, what's going on?"

Lou Yongnian is the top leader of Prince Yan's Mansion, in charge of all the government affairs of the fief. Qingzhou can be said to have Lou Yongnian in Wen and Li Zhao in Wu. This can ensure that everything can run normally when He Yuan, the feudal lord, is away.

Lou Yongnian is a 35-year-old thin man. Hearing that He Yuan called his name, he hurriedly took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Return to the lord, this is a dereliction of duty by an official. I really don't know where the rumors came from to slander the lord so much." , the next official must investigate this matter in detail."

He Yuan took a careful look at him, unable to distinguish between emotions or anger, and looked at him until he was in a cold sweat before withdrawing his gaze, and said softly: "The whole Qingzhou is under your nose, you have to see everything clearly."

Lou Yongnian repeatedly said yes.

At this moment, Song Quan walked up to He Yuan and said in a low voice, "My lord, the road ahead is blocked."

He Yuan said: "Who?"

"Judging by his clothes, he should be a priest."
