...

After Liu Ce and his group entered the Shendu, they were immediately attracted by the prosperity of the Shendu.

Walking on the road paved with loess, there are houses staggered on both sides, and there is a bustling crowd of people. More than a hundred steps of spacious streets are covered with loess and endless paving, which really makes Liu Ce admire him.

In front of a wine shop, a craftsman stood on a ladder, holding a bucket of gold paint, washing the big characters on the plaque. The guy below helped him hold the ladder and pointed out the location of the paint for him from time to time.

In front of another house, several young girls wearing chest-length clothes were carrying bamboo baskets in their hands, and their faces were filled with excitement.

At this time, a peddler carried the goods on the shoulder pole and kept hawking loudly, attracting many people to watch and ask. However, when he saw Liu Ce and his group, he stood aside timidly and smiled, obviously not daring to go and offend him.

In front of a refreshment shop, several tables were filled with households eating breakfast. They each ate big cakes and drank soy milk, and discussed the current situation privately from time to time. They were most relished and naturally the army stationed outside the city...

When Liu Ce came to a restaurant with a slightly larger storefront, he snatched his mount under his crotch and stopped the guard soldiers following behind him.

"I've been tired for a long time, why not go in and have a drink, which is also a reward for yourself?"

Liu Ce looked at the restaurant door plaque and thought for a while. He turned over and got off the horse and came to the side of the four-wheeled carriage and knocked on the door a few times and said, "Ruoyan, do you want to take a break here and use some breakfast?"

Jiang Ruoyan's voice soon came from the carriage: "Well, but it's up to you..."

Soon, Jiang Ruoyan got off the carriage with the help of Liu Ce, and then walked towards the restaurant.

Wei Ding and Jiao Luo took the lead and entered the restaurant first. They scanned the restaurant environment. Then Jiao Luo said to Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, the restaurant is safe, you can come in..."

So more than 200 people entered the restaurant. When the insider saw so many soldiers coming, he was a little panicked. However, Wei Ding threw him a ingot of ten taels of silver and said to him: "Let someone please the horses outside the door, and you will be rewarded!"

The guy took the silver and smiled immediately. After thanking him a few times, he called a few guys to go and take care of the horse. Then the shopkeeper in the restaurant saw so many people coming, and hurriedly ran out and bowed to them and said, "Several soldiers, what are you going to eat?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's nervous look, Liu Ce smiled and took out a ingot of gold and said, "Don't panic, the store owner, I'm waiting for the first time, and I don't understand any rules. Today I'll book your restaurant. If a soldier outside the city comes to your restaurant for dinner and drinks, you can just say hello, the money will be indispensable. This is ten taels of gold, and I'll send it to your cabinet first. If you can't wait, you can go to the inn to find someone to talk to you."

The shopkeeper took the ten taels of gold and looked carefully for a while. After confirming that it was real gold, he looked very excited and said repeatedly: "Enough is enough, what do you want to eat? Our restaurant has everything..."

Liu Ce looked at the soldiers around him and said, "First each person will have a bowl of one-sided plus two big cakes, and... "

As he said that, he looked at Wei Ding again and said to the store: "You can give him as much as you eat. Let's do it first. After eating, you have to go to the inn to see it and wait for lunch before coming here..."

"Okay, the soldiers will wait a moment, and they will come..." The shop owner shouted happily, then turned around and walked towards the back hall.

Since the first floor was already full of people, Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan came to find a seat by the window and sat down. They looked at the market outside the windowsill and sighed.

Liu Ce looked at the father and daughter on the street, and saw the girl sitting on her father's shoulder and holding a windmill happily, and couldn't help but say, "I can't believe that the court would think of attacking these innocent people. Do they really ignore the lives and deaths of the people? Ruoyan, see that these people live and work in peace, will you do this ruthless move?"

Jiang Ruoyan held her cheek with one hand, looked at Liu Ce's eyes, and then said, "Liu Ce, Ruoyan knows that you will never execute the inhumane emperor's order. Ruoyan believes in you..."

Liu Ce smiled lightly, and then continued to look at the scene where vendors shouted in the street market. What a great picture, just like the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in his previous life.

"The gods are worthy of being the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are several times more prosperous than the various parts of Jizhou under my rule. I don't know when I can make Yong'an like this..." Liu Ce sighed again.

"Liu Ce, what are you talking about?" Jiang Ruoyan suddenly said strangely when she heard this, "Yu Yan sees that although Kyoto is prosperous, compared to Yong'an, Ruoyan prefers Yong'an. Not to mention anything else, Ruoyan feels that the situation of loess paving the ground is inappropriate, and it is far less flat and tidy than the cement roads in various parts of Jizhou.

Just imagine if you encounter wind and rainy weather, wouldn’t it be yellow and sandy and the roads are muddy? These problems do not exist in Yong'an, right? In fact, you have done a good job and have always been admiring Ruoyan…”

"Haha..." Liu Ce smiled and shook his head, saying to Jiang Ruoyan, "It's not enough, far from enough. No matter how good Jizhou is, it is a border city. You must resist the invasion of foreign races from outside the border at any time. If you want to have gods, you will achieve this, unless all the hostile foreign races outside the border are wiped out. Ruoyan, you look down on me too highly..."

Jiang Ruoyan still smiled faintly: "Anyway, Ruoyan still likes Yong'an City, at least she stays there with peace of mind. More importantly, you are there..."

When Liu Ce heard this, he looked at her with all eyes, then smiled and continued to look at the street market outside the window.

Jiang Ruoyan looked at Liu Ce's appearance and bit her lower lip and whispered: "Liu Ce, Ruoyan is already twenty years old..."

"Hmm..." Liu Ce responded softly, without any other reaction.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruoyan gently put his hand on the back of Liu Ce's hand and said, "Liu Ce, you have been busy with military affairs all the way, and the pressure of bloody battles is very huge. Ruoyan understands these, but now he has arrived in the capital of God. He is about to meet the throne, so..."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ruoyan mustered up the courage to say to Liu Ce, "Liu Ce, I want to have a child with you. Do you understand Ruoyan's meaning? Ruoyan doesn't want to wait any longer..."

Liu Ce was stunned when he heard this, looking at Jiang Ruoyan's cheeks flushed, and the other jade hand that grabbed her said, "Ruoyan, there will be children. After waiting for the Holy Majesty, return to the Far East..."

Jiang Ruoyan shook her head and interrupted Liu Ce, saying, "Ruoyan can't wait for so long. Can she be with me tonight? You won't be able to take time for a night, right?"

Liu Ce looked at Jiang Ruoyan with beautiful eyes, obviously he really wanted to hand over everything to him, so how could he refuse? He held her hand and said, "Then at least we have to find a suitable place, right?"

Jiang Ruoyan's pretty face turned red and she was also happy. After experiencing a lot of hardships with Liu Ce, she was about to achieve the right result. Is it a perfect merit?

"There's a date~"

At this time, a guy shouted and brought a wooden plate to the table where Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan sat, and brought the steaming noodles and fragrant pancakes to the table.

"Mr. Jun, Miss, please use it slowly..."

After putting down the breakfast, the guy nodded and bowed to Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan and left...

Liu Ce took the chopsticks and said to Jiang Ruoyan: "Eat it. After eating, I will take you to the streets after going to the inn..."

"Well..." Jiang Ruoyan whispered lightly, then chewed slowly and ate.

...

After breakfast, Liu Ce and his group came to the inn where they were staying under the guidance of local passers-by. However, before entering the gate of the inn, they found that the inn officials were standing outside the inn, with a very embarrassed expression. Several of them were even bruised and swollen. They were obviously beaten to this way.

Liu Ce frowned slightly, then said to Jiaoluo: "Go up and ask, what's going on..."

Jiao Luo came forward to show their identities to them, muttered for a while, and then brought the postman to Liu Ce.

As soon as he saw Liu Ce, the postman bowed to him and said, "The military governor has not come here, and his subordinates have never met him. I hope that Hai will forgive him..."

Liu Ce waved his hand and asked, "Why are you all standing outside the door? What happened?"

The postman said in embarrassment: "Qi Jue Governor, more than a dozen envoys from the Xia Kingdom came from the inner world. He despised us for not serving properly, so he beat us up and drove us out..."

Liu Ce's face darkened and asked, "Then why don't you go to report to the officials? Why are you standing at the door? Isn't the grand Kyoto Inn envoy bullied by a group of barbarians outside the border?"

The postman said, "Mr. Military Governor, you don't know anything. The court has an order that whenever a friendly country enters the postman, it must be well received. The envoy of the Xia State asked us to drive out all the officials in the postman who came to Beijing to report. I waited a little late and made them angry, so I was beaten..."

When Liu Ce heard this, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy: "That is to say, you just let these naughty people do whatever they want?"

The postman said hurriedly: "Mr. Military Governor, you don't know that the Xia people are very arrogant. If they annoy them, there will be no peace on the border, not to mention that this is the will of the superiors. Our official Weibo account is light and we cannot afford to offend those high-ranking officials in the inner city..."

"Then you just compromise on the border and you will be peaceful?" Liu Ce asked back, "Today they stay in the inn and drove away the Great Zhou bureaucrats so boldly. Do you have to live in the palace tomorrow and satisfy them? You can only stop by driving out the emperor and everyone in the palace? I think they are all used to it!"

The postman was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly said to Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, he is just a small postman. He is a sesame official in Shendu. He can't afford to offend those envoys of Xia Kingdom. If he blames this head, he probably has to move..."

Liu Ce snorted coldly and said, "Tell the barbarians of Xia Kingdom inside that the Japanese military governor will settle in this inn and ask them to pack up and get out immediately!"

The postman was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Military Governor, please don't cause trouble. I will take you to another postman, which is only two neighborhoods away from here, and it is very spacious..."

"This military governor will ask this inn tonight for the soldiers to rest!" Liu Ce said sternly, "Let the Hu people in the inner world get out of here immediately!"

"Subordinate, don't dare..." The postmaster was so scared that he was trembling all over and knelt on the ground and begged: "Mr. Military Governor, we really can't afford to offend those envoys..."

Seeing that the postman refused to go in and drove people away, Liu Ce was lazy to talk nonsense to him, but said to Wei Ding: "Wei Ding, lead fifty people into the postman and drive out all the waste inside. If they dare to resist, they will not care about their lives or death!"

"Abide by the order!"

Wei Ding roared excitedly when he heard this, then turned over and dismounted from the horse and carried two iron halberds, and rushed into the inn with a ferocious look with fifty fully armed guards.
