Chapter 120 Arrive at the mall
A few days later, when Zhou Yi received the news that Yang Song was about to come to inspect Guihua City, he felt at a loss for a moment.
Where is this Guihua City? To put it bluntly, the foreign trade window of Xia State is actually a city managed by Xia State. Indigenous people live in it. Indigenous people occupy more than nine floors, and most of the people in Xia State left are just merchants.
No matter how well he manages such a place, after all, there are too many outsiders, and it is inevitable that he will take good care of it. Yang Song, the king of a country, suddenly visited him. If something went wrong, he would be unable to atone for his guilt even if he cut him into pieces.
But since he received this news, it was confirmed that it was decided, even if he wanted to persuade him, it would be too late. If it wasn't for the fact that it was already evening, he guessed that Yang Song might have been on the way.
"It seems that the security intensity needs to be increased." Zhou Yi put down the letter in his hand, made a thoughtful decision, and shouted loudly to the outside world: "Come here, order the city guards and the city's constables to strengthen public security rectification. The official must make the whole city not close their doors at night and not pick up the remains."
With Zhou Yi's order, the officers and soldiers in charge of public security and related personnel were even more busy. If the city was not too big, they would have been going door to door for searching.
But even so, the actions of the Guihua City government made the residents even more nervous. They didn’t know what happened to these Xia people. First, the fireworks celebration a few days ago, followed by a long-term crackdown. Now it is more like a large army attacking the city outside, which makes them think more.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yi asked someone to clean the streets and clear the crowds. He led the city's main officials to quietly wait for Yang Song's arrival outside the city gate that was opened.
Yang Song also set out from Shanhaiguan early in the morning, and took his family and a team of Jinyiwei, disguised himself as a Xiaguo caravan who went out of the gate to do business.
Shanhaiguan is only ten kilometers away from Guihua City. When they were halfway through, the Jinyiwei who had come out to inquire and returned to report to him: "Report to the King, Governor Zhou is ready to welcome him outside the city."
Yang Song walked out of the carriage, nodded, frowned, and ordered Wang Wei beside him: "Go on, remember to call me... call me boss. In addition, I sent someone to tell Zhou Yi that he would withdraw. I... I came to visit privately on a private basis. I was so full of fanfare, are you afraid that no one would know?"
"Yes, big boss, let's go now." Wang Wei clasped his fists at Yang Song and ordered another Jinyiwei to ride a war horse with a token to report the news.
After Yang Song ordered the precautions, he turned to his head and smiled gently at his family sitting in the carriage, saying, "After walking for so long, let's go down the tree next to us and rest for a while."
"Well, everything depends on your husband's arrangement." Xiaolan's voice came out of the carriage, and then she took Xiaojuan, Yang Xian, and Yang Yan out of the carriage and walked to Yang Song's side.
The two maids took out blankets and a small table and stool from the back of the carriage and came to a big tree on the side of the road to pack up. After a while, the two maids came to report: "Master, Madam, you have packed it up, please sit down and rest."
"Yeah, okay." Yang Song nodded to the maid and said to his family: "Let's go, go there and sit there for a while."
When he said this, he saw the two little girls who were already eager to try, and raised their mouths and ordered them to them: "You two can go around for a while. Remember not to run far away, and don't get your clothes dirty."
The two little boys had been waiting for Yang Song's words for a long time. After waiting for Xiaolan with a long time, Xiaojuan nodded in agreement, she immediately shouted excitedly, and Yang Xian ran towards the front of the roadside.
"Brother, brother, wait for me, I'm going to go too." Yang Yan saw Yang Xian running away and chased him with her calf.
Yang Xian ran two steps first because of excitement. After hearing Yang Yan's voice behind him, he stopped and turned around to wait for Yang Yan to run to him. Yang Xian took his sister's little hand, pulled up a grass on the side of the road and handed it to Yang Yan's hand, and then ran forward and started playing together.
When Yang Song saw this scene, he nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiaolan beside him: "Xian'er is sensible and knows how to take care of her sister."
When Xiaojuan heard Yang Song’s praise, she also praised: “Husband, Xian'er has known to take care of Yan'er for a long time. She usually has fun and lets her sister give her delicious food. This is all the best way to teach her children.”
"My sister praises her. She just teaches her some small principles, and the teachers teach them the big principles." Xiaolan and Xiaojuan took advantage of the topic to talk about some common things about two children, with a side of playing and a cute and sensible side.
"Is that so, Xian'er is so sensible?" This was the first time Yang Song knew that Yang Xian would take care of Yang Yan like this. He was a little surprised, but then he felt guilty and happy and said to the two women: "It's all my fault. I'm too busy and don't have time to spend more time with you."
"Husband, don't say that." Xiaolan smiled and shook her head repeatedly, "We sisters know that our husband is busy, so I don't want to bother you again in these trivial matters."
While Yang Song's family was resting leisurely, the Jinyiwei was busy and spread out to see if there was a dangerous beast approaching the suspicious person. Even the two maids were busy preparing snacks and tea.
Because only the military and civilians of Xia Kingdom are used by this passage, during Yang Song's rest period, people in Xia Kingdom and patrolling soldiers can be seen walking through the passage.
When the people who walked by saw Yang Song and his party's behavior, they all rationally did not come forward to disturb him. When the patrol soldiers met, Wang Wei stepped forward and took out the pass warrants prepared for him by Di Qing and Lu Xun in advance.
Yang Song doesn't have to worry about all of this, he just needs to have a good rest with his family.
After Yang Song estimated that Guihua City had returned to normal, he stood up and asked Wang Wei to prepare to go back on the road. The twelve Jinyiwei gathered together quickly and set off on the journey to Guihua City again.
In less than an hour, the convoy arrived outside the Guihua City. Yang Song poked his head out of the carriage and saw the wide open city gate and the crowd entering and leaving. Yang Song nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to let Wang Wei lead the team into the city.
The Jinyiwei team was wearing simple clothes. Because they wanted to protect the safety of Yang Song's family, they all carried weapons, including waist knives and short-barrel muskets.
However, because Naturalized City controlled weapons, in order to disguise their identity, each Jinyiwei carried a long wooden box behind him, and all the weapons were loaded inside.
When Yang Song and his party entered Guihua City, they were intercepted by the city guards, conducted programmatic inquiries and inspections.
Wang Wei stepped forward to negotiate, claiming that they were caravans that made wood, and that the female family in the carriage was inconvenient to go out. However, even so, the city guards were still prepared to go forward and check in the carriage for inspection.
How dare Wang Wei let these city guards disturb Yang Song's family? He had no choice but to show the relevant documents and let the city guards let them enter the city.
After entering Guihua City, Yang Song came out of the carriage and walked on the street with Wang Wei. Seeing that most of the streets were natives, he couldn't help but frown.
When he got off the carriage, he saw for the first time in the city of Xia Kingdom that the natives who were only under strict supervision in Xia Kingdom were walking so freely on the streets, which made him instinctively feel a sense of disgust from the heart.
However, Yang Song immediately felt relieved. After all, this is Guihua City. He had already made preparations before, but he still didn't get used to it when he really encountered it.
