Chapter 312
After several days of crossing mountains and ridges, Huang Shang finally found a relatively wide official road at the foot of the mountain not far ahead. Although the official road was bumpy and muddy and water were everywhere, it was at least a road that people walked on.
Huang Shang quickly came to the woods on the side of the official road and became hidden. He had no idea where he was now. He was hesitating whether to extend the official road to the left or right. In fact, there was no difference between left and right for him. What he needed was safety.
According to my speed in the past few days, I should still be in the territory of Daxi Kingdom. If I head to the left, I will continue to enter the towns of Daxi Kingdom. If I head to the right, I may enter the Bamen City in Ulan Kingdom.
Bamen City is in a state of war now, Huang Shang naturally knew, but compared to entering Daxi Kingdom to the left, Huang Shang would rather enter Bamen City. Although Bamen City is also risking his life, it will not be pursued by the Daxi Kingdom's official office. Wouldn't it be your own way to enter Daxi Kingdom?
Huang Shang, who had made up his mind, was about to leave the dense forest, but he heard a burst of rapid horse hooves sounding from the west, and a dark horse trotted all the way to his place.
When the dark horse approached, Huang Shang could see clearly that there was no one on the horse's back, only a gray package spanned the horse's back.
Whose horses? What about the owners of the horses?
Huang Shang kept observing. When the horse was about to run away from him, Huang Shang suddenly flew out, grabbed the reins of the horse, and turned over the horse.
The horse was suddenly ridden and was frightened. He screamed twice, spread his four hooves and started running wildly. Huang Shang's riding skills were not good, so he could only lean over and press on the horse's back to prevent it from being thrown off.
The running horses finally slowed down. When Huang Shang stood up from the horse's back, he found that there were many people in front of him. In front of the crowd was a row of high wooden fences. A pair of soldiers stood on both sides with long spears, and the crowd was released after completing the procedures.
Pass? Have you arrived at the border?
Judging from the flag not far from the fence, this is not the eagle-headed flag of the Great Western Kingdom. Where is this?
Huang Shang turned over and dismounted, leading the dark horse and followed behind the crowd nervously.
"Are you going to pay the official position?" A soldier asked lazily.
Official silver? I have no money, where did I get the official silver?
When Huang Shangzheng had no choice, he suddenly saw the package on the horse's back.
There was no silver in the package, only a few pieces of change of clothes, a pair of heavy stirrups, a plate of text and a purple jade pendant.
"Show me Diwen." The soldier reached out and pulled Diwen over Diwen, and his face showed a look of surprise.
"I... Prince, I'm rude. Prince, please, someone has been waiting for you for a long time." The soldier diligently pointed to the right side of the fence with his hands. On the other side of the fence, in addition to the merchants and mules and horses passing by here one after another, a team of dozens of people were leading the horses to look at this side a hundred meters away.
The whole team was silent. A carriage was parked quietly in the middle of the team. The carriage was pulled by four white horses. The carriage shed was exquisitely made, and the curtains of the carriage were made of high-quality cloth. In addition to the coachman, a girl dressed in maid was standing quietly beside the carriage.
On a rattan chair at the front of the crowd, a white-haired old woman sat upright. The old woman stood with a dragon-headed stick in her hands, her waist straightened, looking unusually energetic, but her eyes seemed to be closed tightly.
Next to the old woman was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Her brows were frowning and her face was full of unhappy expressions. Except for several maids, the rest were servants standing with solemn arms on their waists and hips.
"Hey, your prince is back!" The soldier pointed at Huang Shang with his hand and shouted loudly at the group of people.
This voice made the old woman who was originally sitting on the chair stand up and hurriedly walked towards this side. She almost fell to the ground without taking two steps.
"Old lady, hurry up... it's your hurry." The lady next to her frowned and hurried forward to support her.
"See what you said. How can I not be in a hurry when my grandson comes back? Come on, protect me. I want to see my grandson. I haven't seen him for more than ten years!" The old woman muttered, jogging towards Huang Shang regardless of the matter. The many servants behind her rushed over and surrounded Huang Shang, who was confused, in the center.
"Criminal, you are back!"
"Criminal, we miss you so much!"
"Criminal, why did you come back alone? How dangerous!"
...
"Cong'er..., wuwu, you are finally back. Do you still remember grandma? wuwu."
Under the support of two maids, the old woman shivered and stretched out her shriveled hands, groping from head to toe, groping while crying.
"This... old lady... I think... you... are wrong..." Huang Shang was sweating profusely. Why did he be treated as a prince as soon as he came over? A group of people came to greet him?
Huang Shang was about to explain, but was interrupted by the old woman repeatedly.
"What's wrong? You are my grandson... Oh, it's been more than ten years. I've always heard people say that you are tall and strong now. Now that you're always seeing my grandson myself, I believe it."
"Oh, I know that you have a great opinion on my Zhu family, and you have suffered a great grievance. OK, okay, I'll come back now, grandma will compensate you, let's go." The old woman did not give Huang Shang any chance to speak at all, and kept holding Huang Shang's hand and talking.
"Hey, prince, your thing fell to the ground." The soldier just now shouted behind him again.
Soon a servant picked up the clearance disc and the purple jade pendant from the ground. Huang Shang had just opened the package and did not tie it tightly. After being suddenly surrounded by so many people, the package was squeezed away.
"Criminal, your plate and jade pendant." The servant respectfully handed the plate and jade pendant to Huang Shang.
"This is not mine..." Huang Shang was about to explain, but the purple jade pendant was grabbed in the old woman.
"Well, it's just this jade pendant, which I personally wore for you when you left... Why didn't you wear it? It's okay, just come back."
"Come here, send someone back and notify the Marquis quickly, saying that my grandson is back and let the mansion be ready!"
"yes!"
The two servants agreed to gallop away.
"Prince, please get in the car and be careful!" Huang Shang was confused and got on the carriage like a star-studded star. A sweet-looking maid sat down next to Huang Shang.
"Driving!" The coachman shouted, and the four white horses began to run slowly and steadily.
In a carriage at the end of the convoy, the woman in her forties looked disappointed and stared at the carriage Huang Shang was riding in front with a serious expression.
"Madam..." A maid next to her wanted to speak but stopped.
"It's okay, let's talk about it when you go back!" The woman reached out to stop the maid and said indifferently.
