...

Yan Weizhuang was killed by Ao Wu.

He was the supreme military commander who escorted the banks of the Grand Canal. Now he died suddenly, which of course made everyone nervous.

Before killing Yan Weizhuang, I didn’t know that Yang Guang had to pass here. Now I know that it was expected that the situation here suddenly became nervous.

However, he did not tell Cheng Yaojin about his killing of Yan Weizhuang.

Just tell him to do his own thing with confidence and don’t worry about these things.

There were footsteps outside, and Cheng Erde waved his hands twice, then greeted the people outside in a happy tone: "Li Lushuai, you are here again, it's so hard!"

"For the sake of Your Majesty's safety, this is the routine inspection I should do." A strange voice sounded, full of energy, full of gold and iron, and was made by a serious soldier.

"Please, please!" Cheng Erde invited in with a smile.

Then, a general in armor walked in, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and a beard that looked unhurried and powerful. His hands were placed on the horizontal knife on his waist, giving people a hint of nervousness.

"General Li!" Cheng Yaojin was very polite.

However, Li Lushuai's eyes suddenly stared at Ao Wu and asked, "Who is this person?"

"This is my second brother, I want to meet the emperor with me." Cheng Yaojin said naturally.

Li Lushuai glared at his eyes and asked, "Why have you never seen him?"

Cheng Yaojin said in surprise: "Did General Li remember it wrong? My second brother is the inventor of the immortal wine. When I reported it, I wrote his name. Ao Wu, whose name is Youbin, can you not recognize him?"

"Is this a handsome scholar from Liangfu County?" The reputation of Junfu Chuang is so famous that most people in Lu County have heard of it. When Li Lushuai heard his name, he immediately remembered it.

"I'm really down." Ao Wu clasped his fists and saluted him.

Li Lushuai looked at Cheng Yaojin in confusion. He still remembered that Cheng Yaojin had several people moved in. Now there was one more person, and it was obviously wrong.

How did this person come in?

He wanted to ask Cheng Yaojin that when Prince Yan died unexpectedly, he should check it out.

But looking at Cheng Yaojin's calm expression, I believe he has prepared the answer, and I just need an excuse to ask.

"Since he is a handsome scholar from Liangfu County, there is no need to check it out." Li Lushuai said simply that since he is a famous person and wants to see the emperor, he still has to drive him out after asking. "But during this period, you can't leave or walk around."

This surprised Cheng Yaojin and he didn't even check it.

Soon, he felt that Li Lushuai was a decisive and cheerful person, and he remembered him in his heart.

"Thank you, coach Li Lu!" Ao Wu and Cheng Yaojin said together.

Li Lushuai nodded, then turned around and walked out.

The armor leaves make a frictional sound of metal plates.

After seeing off Li Lushuai, Ao Wu and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and smiled.

I heard the news at night that Yan Weizhuang's military power after his death had been handed over to the prefect, and the mission of escort still did not change.

The next day, the willow trees on both sides of the canal were swaying, the river water was slightly turbid, and the morning breeze blew slightly ripples, and the sound of drums broke the tranquility of this painting.

Amid the drums, two large dragon-headed ships cut through the river majestic and domineeringly.

The carvings and painted buildings on the dragon boat are extraordinary and luxurious.

Looking at the boat from below is like looking at heaven.

Although Yang Guang's ship was still behind, it was ten miles apart.

Moreover, gentry will be organized to pay tribute from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, so the boat will be even slower. It will take two days before Yang Guang will get here.

But the officials here had to come out to greet them.

The person Cui Zhubo was guarding was the prefect of Lu County, and he was also the one who took the initiative to find Cheng Yaojin to pay tribute to the fairy wine. The middle-aged man looked very capable.

The Xiao family also sent someone here, but Xiao Yuandong, who Ao Wu knew, did not appear. The few people who came were not known to Ao Wu.

Although Yan Weizhuang died in the Yan family, Yan Weizhuang was just a branch of the Yan family. When he died, someone from the Yan family still needed to welcome the emperor.

However, Yan Weizhuang was able to develop into the position of county magistrate, which also made him an important figure in the Yan family.

Although the people from the Yan family who came to Yingjia were not so ugly, they were not good-looking either.

Although Ao Wu and Cheng Yaojin won the summons of the emperor with novelties, their status was incomparable to them.

So the prefect, Xiao family and Yan family were all standing in front, and Cheng Yaojin, Ao Wu and others were all standing in the back.

The drums of the first two dragon boats were constantly stopped. On the dragon boat behind, the sound of bamboo was rustling, and the dancer was wearing colorful clothes and singing and dancing to the peace.

The prefect knelt first, and the people behind him knelt down: "Welcome to Your Majesty!"

On the fifth dragon boat, an eunuch came out, pretending to be accented and said shrillly: "All the Lords are calm, I wander here, enjoy with the Lords and with the people..."

There was a big remark behind him, but Ao Wu and others had to lower their heads and listen. The dragon boat deliberately rowed very slowly. After the eunuch finished a long speech, the dragon boat slowly swam down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The prefect stood up and the people behind him followed.

The dragon boat behind is almost the dragon head and the dragon tail, with a mighty and grand show, endless.

The prefect and others obviously would not wait here until tomorrow.

So only the guard of honor was left here, and everyone else dispersed.

The prefect followed Cheng Yaojin into the yard and said a few words to him politely. It was obvious that he had great confidence in Cheng Yaojin's fairy wine, so he came to encourage him.

After seeing off the prefect, Ao Wu recalled what he had just observed.

Old Long and others who were about to assassinate did not show their presence, and there was no other sign, but they would not move until Yang Guang arrived.

Cheng Yaojin believed Ao Wu's words, but knowing that someone was going to assassinate Yang Guang made him feel nervous.

He even had a weapon on Yang Guang's ship to prevent accidents, but before Ao Wu reminded him, he woke up by himself. If he was found carrying weapons on the ship, he would not have to be accidentally injured by the assassin, and Yang Guang would behead him first.

"Brother is as strong as a cow, and I'm afraid that a few little thieves will not succeed?" Ao Wu said with a smile.

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, thought for a while and then laughed: "I let my second brother laugh, but I don't look like a man, if the thief comes, let him come, hahaha..."

He was a tough guy with strong will. After he thought about it, he let it go and started eating and drinking.

A few people couldn't walk out casually in the yard. Now they were outside with three steps, one soldier, five steps, and one post, which was very serious.

The emperor traveled, indeed, it was costly and laborious

The dragon boats on the river swam continuously, and this show is indeed big enough.

At noon the next day, the prefect took his men to the river and stood to greet him.

It took only one hour to wait, and finally saw the largest dragon boat arrive.

This is Yang Guang's dragon boat.

Officials, gentry and soldiers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait cheered loudly.

After a while, a man in a dragon robe walked out of the boat building and waved his hands to the people below, laughing loudly, full of energy and majestic voice.

"Everyone is calm!"

The prefects below, the Xiao family, the Yan family and others were very frightened: "Thank you Your Majesty!"

The dragon boat did not stop for too long and continued to swim down.

And when the dragon boat passed, the prefect stood up.

Ao Wu wondered if he wanted to see the emperor, so he had seen him like that?

A dragon boat behind the docked and stopped. The prefect took people on the boat. After they got on, the boat followed the lord in front and went downstream.

Everyone was arranged to sit in a building on the boat and wait quietly.

It was only in the evening that a eunuch came in and called the prefect to go out.

The prefect went there for more than an hour before returning, with a red face. It seemed that he was going to see Yang Guang.

Next were the members of the Xiao family and Yan family.

They also went for nearly an hour before they came back.

"Cheng Yaojin, Ao Wu." The eunuch's voice sounded.

This is Ao Wu's turn.

They stood up and walked out. The white-faced eunuch whispered: "Follow me, that's it."

He took Ao Wu and Cheng Yaojin off the dragon boat and took a small boat toward Yang Guang's dragon boat in front.

At this time, the sky was dark and the river was dark, as if it was a bottomless pit.

Countless lights on the dragon boat shone on the river surface, reflecting countless mottled lights and shadows, very beautiful.

On the boat tower, the sound of drums and female singing came into my ears, singing and dancing became peaceful, and a luxurious atmosphere came to my face.

If Yang Guang was too luxurious, he would be able to commit suicide from this point.

However, this time he went to Yangzhou, it was of political significance. He made such a big show not for his own debauchery-desire-desire.

Just like the Olympic Games in later generations, no matter how big it is, it is not that the president of the country is doing personal enjoyment, but that it is a major national event.
