Soon, Zhao Yunan's ceremonial guard appeared on the official road at the foot of the mountain. A long team walked over with colorful flags waving inside, swords and guns were like forests, with an extremely powerful aura.

After seeing the ceremonial war, a small commotion occurred in the crowd behind Tan Zong, and then settled down. People had quickly arranged their positions and quietly waited for Zhao Yunan's arrival.

After about a cup of tea, the vanguard of Zhao Yun'an's etiquette finally came to Tan Zong and others. Tan Zong and others had already been sweating heavily by the scorching sun in the sky, and their bodies were wet, as if they were coming out of water.

The vanguard of the ceremonial guard did not stop and continued to walk along the official road. When the luxurious carriage pulled by the eight horses Zhao Yunan appeared in front of Tan Zong and others, the ceremonial guard suddenly stopped as if he had received an order.

"I ordered the Qin envoy Tan Zong to bring the imperial envoy Zhou Dunran, the Yangzhou prefect Lu Weimin, the Yangzhou general Han Tian and other officials and people from Yangzhou Prefecture to welcome Prince An." Seeing this, Tan Zong walked forward, bowed to the carriage, and said in a loud voice.

"Welcome Prince An!" Then, the crowd behind Tan Zong bowed and said in unison.

The two eunuchs quickly brought in the stairs covered with yellow brocade, placed them on one side of the carriage, and then stood beside them.

The curtain of the carriage was then lifted open, and Zhao Yun'an walked out with a serious expression. He was wearing a yellow dragon robe with a five-clawed dragon embroidered on his chest. The color of the dragon robe and the five-clawed dragon embroidered on it showed his unparalleled noble identity.

According to the rules of the court, only the officials can wear bright yellow or bright yellow dragon robes such as bright yellow, with nine dragons embroidered on them, four dragons in front and back, and the last dragon is embroidered inside the collar. From the front or back, there are five dragons, which are secretly matched with the number of nine or five to highlight the dignity of the officials.

The prince can only wear dark yellow dragon robe like earthy yellow. He has five claws in front and behind him, and five claws in his shoulders and five claws in his shoulders, which shows the difference between him and the official family.

As for the prince, the dragon robe style is the same as that of the prince, but the python dragon with four claws can only be embroidered on it, which is very different from the prince.

"No gifts for everyone!" Zhao Yunan looked around at the people who were bent in front of the carriage, held up his right hand with a void, and said with confidence.

"Thank you, Prince!" Tan Zong and others answered in unison after hearing this, and then straightened up.

Zhao Yunan walked out of the carriage with a cold expression with a eunuch's support. Following him was Cao Qiaomu, with a serious look on his face.

"Menghua, thank you for your hard work." In front of everyone, Zhao Yunan walked to Tan Zong, smiled and reached out to pat his shoulder. This casual action immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Dunran, Lu Weimin and others, indicating that Tan Zong and Zhao Yunan had a close relationship.

"The prince is too awarded. If it weren't for the prince's planning and the concerted efforts of all the adults, how could Yangzhou City have today's stable situation?" Tan Zong bowed to Zhao Yunan and quietly put a high hat on Zhao Yunan, and also pointed out the contributions of the officials on the scene. Being with dust is the way to be an official in the officialdom. If you eat alone, you may be choked to death.

Zhao Yunan smiled when he heard this and didn't care about Tan Zong's flattery. Although Tan Zong's intention to deal with Bi Shijie was the official, it was him who asked Tan Zong to go to Yangzhou and gave Tan Zong a great help. From the outside world, he really made great contributions in this matter.

"This is the Qin envoy Zhou Dunran, Lord Zhou, Lord Lu Weimin Lu, General Han Tianhan, General..." Then, Tan Zong turned sideways and introduced Zhao Yunan to the senior officials and powerful officials of Yangzhou Prefecture standing behind him, including Zhuo Wenyuan, president of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce and other famous gentry and great merchants.

Originally, there were also the president of the Salt Merchants Chamber of Commerce in these famous gentry. Unfortunately, he was involved in the case of Bi Shijie and is now being interrogated in the prison, so he could only regretfully absent. Due to the particularity of the industry, several salt merchants will be imprisoned in prison to assist in the investigation. God knows what will happen, which makes the salt merchants panic for a while and everyone is in danger.

Zhou Dunran and others respectfully bowed to Zhao Yunan. Zhao Yunan nodded slightly, saying hello to everyone.

"Prince, please get in the car and enter the city." After introducing Zhou Dunran and others, Tan Zong bowed to Zhao Yunan and made a gesture of invitation to Yangzhou City, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't hurry to enter the city." Zhao Yunan turned his head and glanced at the carriage, and smiled slightly at Tan Zong, "Menghua, see who did I bring?"

When Tan Zong heard this, he looked at the carriage. The curtain of the carriage was then lifted up. A beautiful woman in a white dress slowly walked out of the carriage. After seeing Tan Zong, she smiled at him with a charming charm, which made everyone at the scene lit up.

"Su Jin!" This stunning woman is Su Jin, one of the three masters of Jinling. Tan Zong couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw this. He never expected that Su Jin would ride in the same car with Zhao Yunan and Cao Qiaomu. This was a great honor for Su Jin.

"My husband!" Su Jin moved his lotus steps lightly and walked lightly to Tan Zong, blessed him, and his eyes immediately became rosy.

After a few months of sight, Tan Zong's face showed a bit of maturity and vicissitudes. When Su Jin was on the road, he had already heard from Cao Qiaomu that what Tan Zong had done during this period. He was walking on thin ice and broke through today's situation alone. Only Tan Zong himself could experience the hard work.

"Thank you." Tan Zong looked at Su Jin with red eyes and wanted to say it to her in his heart, but when he said it, it turned into two simple and affectionate words.

Upon hearing this, a warm current suddenly appeared in Su Jin's heart, and she smiled sweetly at Tan Zong. With the word "thank you" in Tan Zong, the waiting she has been here during this period is completely worth it.

"Menghua, get in the car and talk. I have a lot to ask you." Seeing Tan Zong and Su Jin looking like they were in love, Zhao Yunan smiled brightly, and after explaining Tan Zong, he and Cao Qiaomu got on the carriage first.

Tan Zong held Su Jin's hand and helped her up the stairs. He turned around and bowed to Zhou Dunran, Lu Weimin and others, and then strode into the carriage.

Everyone bowed to Tan Zong and returned the greeting. Zhao Yun'an's ceremonial war was then activated and he marched into Yangzhou City in an orderly manner. Zhou Dunran and Lu Weimin, who had been introduced by Tan Zong to Zhao Yun'an, quickly got into the sedan chair and followed behind the carriage. The rest could only stand there respectfully and watch Zhao Yun'an's ceremonial war leave. Only after Zhao Yun'an's ceremonial war passed can they ride back to the city in their own sedan chairs.

After Zhao Yunan's ceremonial guard passed, the people waiting there dispersed with a loud bang, walked towards the sedan chairs that were parked aside in groups, whispering to Su Jin.

"It's indeed worthy of being the immortal sound of Jinling, it's indeed extraordinary!" In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a businessman looked like a businessman and sighed in a low voice to the people beside him. In his tone, Tan Zong, who was proud of the love and officialdom, was full of envy and jealousy.

"Don't forget, there are also the courtesans in Yangzhou." A black and strong man smiled and reminded the middle-aged businessman. His words made the nearby people shift the topic to Su Jin and Manluo, and he speculated with interest how Tan Zong would deal with the complex relationship with Manluo, and hoped to see Manluo and Su Jin fight.

As the courtesan of Yangzhou City, although Manluo is not as famous as the three masters of Jinling, she is also a master of both sexes and art, smart and witty, and has extraordinary temperament. She is qualified to fight Su Jin, which is not a romantic talk.

In the driving carriage, Tan Zong, Zhao Yun'an and Cao Qiaomu were chatting and laughing, and Su Jin smiled and poured tea for the three of them.

Tan Zong told Zhao Yunan and Cao Qiaomu that night about the fierce battle in Yangzhou City. Although Zhao Yunan and Cao Qiaomu had already learned about the war that night from Tan Zong's official documents, the words Tan Zong said had an immersive feeling and more experienced the dangers of the war.

"Prince, sir, I'm going to make a desperate bet during the festival. If it weren't for the Zhongyi Hall manager on the dock to distinguish the matter and not implement the instructions of Zhongyi Hall General Assembly, the consequences would be unimaginable." Tan Zong roughly told the story, picked up the teacup and took a sip of herbal tea, and said with lingering fear.

There were nearly a thousand coolies on the dock. If they joined the rebels in Zhongyitang, the exhausted official army in the government office would definitely not be able to resist it. Even if not only the merchants in the government office could not escape, they could take the opportunity to slip away from each other.

At this time, a burst of cheers suddenly came from outside the car. Zhao Yunan reached out and lifted the curtains beside him. It turned out that the carriage had entered the Xicheng city gate, and the people gathered at the door cheered loudly.

"This person is full of evil deeds and has no choice but to die. He should be cut into pieces. It's really a bargain to die like this!" Just as Zhao Yunan was about to put down the curtains, he suddenly saw Bi Shijie's body hanging on the wooden pole. A look of disgust flashed in his eyes. He sneered and put down the curtains.

The royal family in all dynasties hated the most was the people who committed rebellion, because those people attempted to change the dynasty and end the royal family, which was unacceptable to any member of the royal family.

When Cao Qiaomu heard this, he glanced at Tan Zong casually, with a faint smile on his lips. He and Zhao Yunan were extremely surprised when they received the news that Tan Zong was killed by the beard on the way. However, neither of them cared about this matter, because what Tan Zong did was personally explained by the official. Even if Zhao Yunan was not convenient to ask about how Tan Zong would deal with Bi Shijie, even if Zhao Yunan was not interested in it.

He had already helped the government handle the matters in Suzhou and Yangzhou at a young age. In Cao Qiaomu's view, Tan Zong's career was limitless, which was a great thing for him, Zhao Yun'an and the Supervision Office.

"The prince is thousands of years old!" Wherever Zhao Yunan's carriage went, the people on both sides of the street knelt down and shouted in unison, the sounds rose higher and higher, showing their respect for Zhao Yunan.

Although it is noon now and the sun is poisonous, the people on the streets are crowded with enthusiasm and no impact on the high temperature at all.

"Menghua, did you arrange this?" Yangzhou dialect is different from the language of the capital. It took Zhao Yunan a while to hear what the people were shouting. He lifted up a corner of the curtain, looked at the people kneeling on the ground and shouting slogans, and smiled at Tan Zong.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. Lord Lu is responsible for welcoming the prince. I don't know at all." After hearing this, Tan Zong first lifted the curtain and looked at the people outside. He shook his head seriously at Zhao Yunan and said solemnly, "Although I don't know if Lord Lu has such an arrangement, judging from the performance of the people, if they hadn't really supported the prince, how could he show this amazing momentum!"

"It's true or false, the prince will tell you when he goes out." Cao Qiaomu, who was drinking tea, looked at Tan Zong with a serious expression, suppressed the smile in his heart and put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Zhao Yunan quietly.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Cao Qiaomu found that Tan Zong was becoming more and more sleek in his work, which made him feel very pleased.

Zhao Yunan thought in his heart that the people who cheered on both sides of the street were specially arranged by Lu Weimin. This behavior of welcoming the superiors and deliberately creating such a warm scene has long been accustomed to the officialdom.

Under Cao Qiaomu's induction, Zhao Yunan hesitated for a moment, stood up happily, lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage. He also wanted to know what his position among the people.

"Prince!"

"The prince is out!"

"Look, everyone, it's the prince!"

...

Zhao Yunan's appearance immediately stirred up the people on the street. Everyone shouted happily and rushed forward like a tide, all wanting to see the young and promising prince who cares about the people up close.

Faced with the increasingly excited people, the soldiers responsible for maintaining order were pushed around by the surging crowd. Fortunately, the number of soldiers at the scene was large and formed two lines of defense to stop the people.

Looking at the excited people in front of him, Zhao Yunan couldn't help but be slightly stunned. From these crazy people, he saw his position in their hearts and was extremely surprised. He didn't feel that he had done anything for the people of Yangzhou, but the people of Yangzhou seemed to have a special love for him.

In this situation, Zhao Yunan felt that he should do something. Then, he smiled and waved his hands gently to the people on both sides of the street, looking gentle and friendly.

With Zhao Yunan's actions, the people at the scene suddenly became crazy, the crowd was inspiring, and the slogans echoed in the sky.

Looking around at the people kneeling on both sides of the road like waves and the hot light towards themselves in their eyes, Zhao Yunan suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. This feeling was something he had never seen before, just like... it was like he ruled the world.

"Menghua, the prince knows what you said this time." Cao Qiaomu lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at Zhao Yunan who was waving his hands to the people with great enthusiasm. He smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Tan Zong. He was sure that the reason why Zhao Yunan was so popular in Yangzhou City must be the result of Tan Zong's secret publicity.

"The prince has been in Suzhou City for so long, and it is time to take this opportunity to relieve his breath." Tan Zong laughed when he heard this. It can be imagined that Zhao Yunan would never have a comfortable life in Suzhou City.

Hearing the conversation between Tan Zong and Cao Qiaomu, Su Jin's wonderful eyes could not help but flash a strange light, and then he returned to calmness. He smiled and poured tea for the two of them. With Zhao Yun'an as his backer, it would not be so easy for others to touch Tan Zong. If Zhao Yun'an took another step...

Su Jin shook her head secretly in her heart. She seemed to have thought a little too much. The position of the prince in the capital is at its peak. How could Zhao Yunan take another step?
