Chen Xu was shocked by the situation and sat on the raised carriage with a pale face tightly grasping the handrail.

"Protect the Marquis~" Bai Zhen and Wang Li, who were also shocked by the actions of the merchants, pulled out the sword from their waists and roared. Suddenly, three hundred imperial guards surrounded Chen Xu's carriage and a group of leading merchants like tigers. With the sound of the cracks and crossbows opening, the merchants who were greeted were instantly frightened and began to scatter. The crowded trampling scene was instantly out of control.

"No need to panic, put away your weapons and the imperial guards retreat!" Chen Xu yelled quickly. Bai Zhen and Wang Ben saw that these merchants were indeed not malicious. After hesitating for a while, they slowly put away their swords and ordered the imperial guards to retreat. The scene slowly calmed down.

Chen Xu smiled wryly and said to Fan Yong: "Head of the Fan family, why bother?"

Fan Yong and several merchants wearing men and gray-haired men saluted in unison and said, "The Marquis is righteous and devoted all his energy to rush around and call for us merchants. We can't repay you if we go to Wancheng here and ask us to carry the car for the Marquis to express our gratitude!"

After a group of old men finished speaking, they joined the ranks of carrying cars. Fan Yong shouted: "Come on the marquis and move forward!"

"Let's go~" With a neat roar, a carriage with a weight of 1,000 pounds was carried forward steadily.

"Come on quickly!" Bai Zhen roared, and the three hundred imperial guards quickly divided into three teams, one team crossed Chen Xu's carriage and opened the way, one team followed the carriage and the family who protected the Marquis's mansion.

"Dongdongdongdongdong~" Someone beat the drum in front of him.

The horse's hooves were rolling like thunder flags. After all the cars and horses with the flag of Qinghe Hou Mansion passed, the merchants who came to greet him then rode their bikes with them. The long line was winding for five miles. There were more people in Wancheng who were welcoming along the way and the merchants and priests who came to hear the news joined. Countless poor villagers even knelt on the side of the road to greet him, shouting to welcome Qinghe Hou back to Nanyang.

Now Qinghe Hou is the pride of the entire Nanyang people.

The farmers thanked Qinghehou for improving the farm tools and intensive farming methods, which gave them a bumper harvest last year. Although they collected more and paid more taxes, the number of them in the end would increase. Therefore, this year's new farming methods have been promoted to all counties in Nanyang, and all counties and townships have begun to rush spring farming production. With the strong support of Jiangbeiting, if the weather is good this year, there will be another bumper harvest.

The merchants were grateful to Qinghe Hou, not to mention that the new-style pawn equipment was built, which allowed merchants in Nanyang to obtain six positions. Now the family status is incomparable and is a semi-official and semi-businessman, not to mention making a lot of money on steel and horse harnesses in the future.

The hundreds of alchemists were even more grateful to Chen Xu. The news came from Xianyang that the Marquis of Qinghe stopped the left prime minister Li Si from the book burning order, allowing them to keep the books left by the sages. Moreover, the first issue of the Daqin Metropolis Daily had been circulated to Wancheng. This novel thing opened a new window for them and showed a completely different world. It turned out that books and remarks could be expressed and spread in this way. If their articles could be published in the newspaper, they might soon become famous, so they all came to welcome them enthusiastically, expressing their gratitude, and they would have the opportunity to scan their faces in front of the Marquis of Qinghe. Maybe they would be attracted by the Marquis of Qinghe and be in the near future.

Moreover, Qinghe Hou is a popular disciple of the immortal family in Funiu Mountain, and he has also heard that Qinghe Hou’s master is Taiyi Immortal Master who lowered the divine thunder in Wancheng to reveal the Taiyi Divine Monument.

Whether out of gratitude, respect, or curiosity, this unprecedented spontaneous welcome is absolutely unprecedented.

As the team moved forward, more and more people followed and greeted each other, and finally became a mighty momentum.

While moving forward, the people carrying the car were constantly changing. Fan Yong and others were old and weak. After carrying it for several miles, they were replaced by other merchants. In addition to the merchants, there were civilians and alchemists. After an hour, they arrived at the position of the officials in Wancheng. The number of people carrying the car was already hundreds, and the carriage was densely packed with people. Others wanted to find a place to find a place to come in and could not touch the frame, so they could only support the people and walk forward.

Seeing the crowd escorting Qinghehou coming in a vast crowd, looking at a luxurious carriage hanging above the densely packed people's heads, all the officials who were greeting in Wancheng changed their faces. Then they quickly got out of the car together, stood respectfully on the side of the road and bowed to greet him. Even Jiangbeiting felt that his heart was beating and could not be suppressed.

In just one year, this young man has become an existence that makes him look up to.

Thinking of the situation when the two first met, the actions Chen Xu did when he was in Qinghe Town, the words he talked to Chen Xu several times, and the things that happened between his daughter and Chen Xu, Jiang Beiting felt bitter and secretly glad.

This time and time, the times change, and the young man is no longer the Shanye Village man who needs to greet him on the same day. He has become the emperor's Grand Tutor, the prime minister of the Great Qin, and a renowned figure who can compete with Li Si in the court. Not to mention Nanyang, even the entire Great Qin, no one dares to underestimate his identity and status.

"Stop, stop, fall into the sedan... uh, get off the car!" Seeing Jiangbeiting and Wancheng officials standing respectfully on the side of the road to greet him, Chen Xu quickly reached out and patted the handrail a few times.

Chen Xu still felt very grateful to Jiangbeiting.

When he was able to become a Li Dian, Jiang Beiting promoted him, and he had been helping him without any effort. Although Jiang Beiting must have selfishness, everyone in the world has selfishness. Even if he could become the Marquis of Qinghe and have the current status, it was Qin Shihuang's selfishness. Chen Xu's identity and hope for immortality have created Chen Xu's most peculiar status in the Qin Dynasty.

Under the command of Fan Yong and others, the carriage was placed smoothly on the ground. Chen Xu stood up and sorted out his clothes and hair, walked out of the carriage, walked straight to Jiangbeiting and bowed, "Mr. Jiang, I'll be fine after half a year of separation!"

"Jiangbeiting pays homage to Qinghe Hou! Having not seen each other for half a year, the marquis became more and more energetic!" Jiangbeiting quickly bowed and bowed.

"Greetings to the Qinghe Hou!" A large group of Wancheng officials behind Jiangbeiting bowed and saluted.

"Everyone is exempted from the gift. I will go back to my hometown to visit my relatives. Everyone will go out of the city to greet me. I feel sorry for me. At the time of Hai, I will invite everyone to have a banquet at Qinghe Inn!" Chen Xu said loudly with a smile.

"Qinghe Marquis is the pride of my Nanyang County. The millions of people in Nanyang are honored. For this banquet, we and colleagues in Wancheng should invite the Marquis together!" Gao Ying, the county magistrate wearing a military robe, stood up and said loudly.

"What the county magistrate said is that when the Marquis of Qinghe came home to visit relatives, the more than one million people in Nanyang were landlords, how could the Marquis spend money?" Many officials began to echo.

Chen Xu waved his hand: "You have been waiting for a long time, and you will enter the city with me to avoid disturbing the villagers!"

"Respect the order of the marquis!" All the officials saluted again and then dispersed and got on the carriage. Chen Xu stopped taking the carriage. He asked someone to take his horse over. Although it was good to ride the carriage, it was so eye-catching. If there was any evil person in the crowd who came to a shuttle... Well, with an arrow, I guess his life would be reimbursed, so I still need to be low-key.

Today, from the six kings, nobles, to the common people, there are many people who hate the Qin Dynasty. But the favorite ministers and slandered ministers around the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty are their most hated targets. If they cannot kill Qin Shihuang and kill a few ministers that Qin Shihuang likes, they can still have fun.

Surrounded by the imperial guards and thousands of people, after half a year, Chen Xu stepped into Wancheng again.

Just like what Jiangbeiting said at the beginning, although Wancheng is a county town with a population of over 100,000, and the city is full of people and goods, it is not a little worse than Xianyang. After staying in Xianyang for so many months, I suddenly entered Wancheng again. I felt that everything was stingy and dilapidated, the streets were not wide, the houses were not high, and people's clothes and even the tone of speaking were different from Xianyang, and there was a strong sense of déjà vu of the countryside county town.

After entering the city, people still welcomed each other. Chen Xu was already used to the enthusiasm of Nanyang’s fellow villagers. He bowed all the way to express his gratitude. He came to the county magistrate’s mansion and chatted with Gao Yong and other officials in Jiangbeiting. Chen Xu arranged for people to go back to Qinghe Town to report the message, preparing to go home early tomorrow morning, and then take a group of guards to Qinghe shop.

"Meet the Marquis!" At the entrance of Qinghe Store, dozens of people, including the store clerk who had been waiting for a long time, Lu Dong's family, the owner of the foot house, and Liu Dachui, the chef of Qinghe Inn, all knelt on the ground to greet each other excitedly.

"No gifts, get up quickly!" Chen Xu waved his hand with a smile, and found that Huangfu Que was among the people standing. He said in surprise: "Why is Huangfu Manager also there?"

Huangfu Que hurried forward and said, "I visited Daliang. When I heard that the Marquis returned to my hometown to visit relatives, I rushed to Wancheng to wait!"

"Okay, let me explain the inspection situation later!" Chen Xu nodded.

When the Marquis came back, Qinghe Inn was naturally full of joy. A group of people welcomed Chen Xu into the inn, and the table was filled with tea and snacks. Chen Xu asked about the situation of Lu Dong Inn, and then listened to Huangfu Que's report on inspecting Qinghe shops in various places. He felt that he didn't need to worry about anything, so he called Liu Dachui and asked him to prepare a sumptuous dinner to prepare a banquet for a group of officials of Jiangbeiting and Wancheng.

"Don't worry, Master Marquis, I will definitely arrange the dinner!" Wang Dachui naturally agreed, and then looked at Chen Xu with a nervous expression, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

"Do you want to go to Xianyang with me?" Chen Xu asked with a smile.

"Yes yes ~...uh, no..." Liu Dachui's face turned red and nodded and shook his head.

"Do you want to go or don't?" Chen Xu was confused.

"I want to go, but what I want to say is...yes..." Liu Dachui stammered for a long time before he mustering up the courage and said, "Marty, I...I'm getting married!"

It turned out to be this. Chen Xu nodded with a smile and said, "It's a good thing to get married. Which little lady from a family, call me to meet you!"
