Du Changfeng followed the convoy out of the city gate, and after walking for a while, his heart started pounding heavily, as he headed in the direction of Dark Water Town. Why would Prince Chu go to the Dark Water Town? You even put on such a big show? Could it be … He stared at the carriage and had a bad premonition. Who was sitting inside? One person or two?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. If Bai Qianfan was in the town, he would guess that the Prince Chu was majestically going to pick her up, but she wasn't in the town. She had already entered the city last night, so was she in a carriage right now?
He did not dare to think any further, and once he reached the fork in the road, he stealthily turned into a small road and quickly entered the town. He was the supervisor here, and if the Prince Chu arrived, he should go to the road to receive him, otherwise, it would be dereliction of his duty. During an emergency, he could not allow the Prince Chu to use his weakness.
The last time Prince Chu came over with General Han Tong, he did not make any big fuss, but this time, he used the etiquette of him travelling. The yellow flag fluttered in the wind with the word "Chu" on it.
Bai Qianfan sneaked a peek through the cracks in the curtain and saw that both sides of the road were filled with people kneeling down. At first glance, she only saw a black mass of heads, she did not like this kind of atmosphere, but there was no other way, the identity of the Prince Chu was here, it was the symbol of the supremacy of the Emperor.
When she came here, she didn't feel nervous at all. This was the first time she wore a woman's outfit in front of the townspeople. She was a bit embarrassed.
Morong Gan laughed at her, "A Princess Chu who doesn't fear the heavens or the earth, there are times when he can be shy." He opened the curtain and took a look outside, but did not see Du Changfeng. His heart stirred as he said, "Don't go out, stay here, I'll say goodbye before leaving."
After he got off the carriage, someone came forward to beat at the curtain. To the people, Prince Chu was the ruler of this place, no one dared to raise their head, they only saw a pair of noble feet getting off the carriage and became even more terrified, to the people of this world, only they knew of Prince Chu as their ruler. Now that the famous Prince Chu was standing in front of them, how could they not be afraid?
According to the rules, the one with the highest position, Du Changfeng, should be the one to lead everyone to welcome them.
"Everyone, get up," Prince Chu was a person who loved this place. His wife had stayed here for half a year, talking about how good it was here, and how everyone cared for her.
Prince Chu shouted. No one dared to get up, and no one dared to raise their head to look. They stood by the side of the road with their heads down, looking extremely cautious.
Prince Chu asked, "Which one is Housekeeper Shi from Drunken Immortal Tavern?"
The last time Prince Chu came over, he was personally attending to him by the side. But from the beginning to the end, Prince Chu was expressionless, he didn't even glance at him from the corner of his eye, so it was impossible for him to remember him, right? He remembered very clearly that Prince Chu rarely spoke that day. Although his expression looked very calm, as he stood at the side, he felt a cold energy spread from the bottom of his feet. After the meal, his clothes on his back were all drenched.
But this time, Prince Chu's voice sounded very gentle, he gathered his courage and raised his head, quickly glancing around. It was indeed different from last time, although it was still calm, but his expression was relaxed, and he looked just like spring. He walked out of the queue: "Reporting to your highness, this lowly one is Drunken Immortal Tavern's Shi Shengcheng."
"Yes, prepare yourself. At noon, I'll treat the people of the town to a meal. I'll set it at your Wine Immortal Restaurant."
When he said this, everyone was shocked. How many tables would it take to treat the whole town to a meal … Ignoring the fact that the Prince Chu was so extravagant, they could not understand why a high and mighty king treated all of them to food. This is incredible.
Prince Chu did not care whether they were shocked or not, he turned around and asked, "Where is General Du?"
"This …" "I don't know."
Prince Chu was not angry, and only said, "Call him over for lunch at Drunken Immortal Tavern."
waved his hand at the citizens. "Disperse, come over for lunch at Drunken Immortal Tavern."
He turned around and entered the carriage, continuing forward. As if he had just awoken from a dream, he immediately led the group to bow down to the ground, respectfully sending off Prince Chu.
In the carriage, Bai Qianfan tilted her head and asked Morong Gan: "Are you really going to treat everyone from the town to a meal?"
"Mhm," Morong Gan sounded somewhat like he was being pampered, and laughed: "You saying that they take care of you and treat you well, it's only right for me to thank them after eating their meals."
Bai Qianfan counted with her fingers: "That'll cost a lot of silver. It's not cheap to eat at Drunken Immortal Tavern."
"What? You're not willing?" Morong Gan intentionally teased her: "If you don't want to, then forget it.
You are the Prince Chu, so you can't break your promise. Furthermore, I've been fighting here for so long, it's only right for you to treat us all to a meal, "she said, frowning. She thought for a moment," It's fine, I'll let the Housekeeper Shi give you a discount.
Morong Gan pulled her into his embrace, "Then what's wrong with just a little bit of money? I'll leave this household to you to take care of from now on, you can spend as much as you want and buy whatever you want. Don't be afraid of making a loss, what's mine is all yours."
Bai Qianfan laughed happily, she extended ten fingers to count. Suddenly, she thought of something: "That's not right, we are fighting right now, our village and businesses are all in the north, where would we find the money?"
Prince Chu laughed out loud and pinched the tip of her nose, "Have you heard of the Three Hells of Sly Bunnies? "I have businesses in the north, but there are businesses everywhere in the dark. The emperor is on my guard, so I have to be on his guard as well. Now that I have a family, I have to keep some to myself and not let my wife starve to death."
Bai Qianfan liked to prepare for a rainy day, so when he heard him say that, she immediately laughed, and only wanted to fight … She hadn't brought up the subject, but she couldn't get around it now.
Every day at dusk, she would go to the teahouse and listen to the men's idle chatter, afraid that they would hear some bad news. Only after stopping the battle and knowing that the Prince Chu was still in good condition did she finally relax a little.
"Do you want to continue the war?" She looked at him with a frown. "Can you stop?"
He touched her face. "Are you worried about me?"
"Well, when I first heard about the war, I was scared to death that you would go to the battlefield yourself." Well, when I first heard about the war, I was worried that you would go to the battlefield yourself.
"Idiot, I am the king, I will not easily enter the battlefield." He was silent for a moment, "Since there is no return arrow, there has to be an end to this. But the situation is not bad, I can stop this indefinitely. Do you want to stay here?"
"Can I?" She hugged him and rubbed him against her chest. "I really like it here. The Emperor is in the north, and we're in the south. We don't have to scratch each other. Is that okay?"
He kissed the top of her hair.
