The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 119 Prince's Parade
Wu Jialiang was about to say "How can I believe this" when he suddenly woke up and remembered that a few months ago, Master Yue had said something similar, saying that there would be major changes by the end of this year.

As a result, the golden thief came at the end of the year!

This frightened him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He would rather believe what Master Yue said than not believe it: "I...my brother Guan Sheng..."

Yue Wenxuan: "If County Magistrate Wu doesn't want him to be killed by his own people, he must leave for Jinan now and remind him to be careful, especially not to attend the drinking party hosted by Jinan Prefect Liu Yu. If he goes, he will definitely die."

Wu Jialiang jumped up and said, "Master Yue, Prince Gong, and Second Brother Qian, I have to leave for Jinan immediately. I can't take care of things here for the time being."

Madam Gong Er said with a serious expression: "It's not very safe to go this way."

Qian Zhuoqun also said: "You are the Jimo County Magistrate, and you left your jurisdiction without permission and ran around everywhere? If the higher-ups knew about this..."

Wu Jialiang gritted his teeth and said, "Brother's life is more important, why should we care about the county lieutenant's jurisdiction?"

Qian Zhuoqun secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Wu Jialiang clasped his fists towards Yue Wenxuan again and said, "Master Yue, I'll have to borrow your two masters this time."

Yue Wenxuan nodded: "Yes! No problem, I will continue to lend these two to you. Just remember one thing, if you encounter danger, let them stay behind and let the others go first."

"Huh?" Wu Jialiang: "This... I, Wu Jialiang, value brotherhood the most. How can I let Brother Ip Man and my nephew Bruce Lee go to their deaths while I go first? No way! If they want to leave behind me, I'll leave with them."

Yue Wenxuan: "After you leave first, the two of them will find a way to escape. If you insist on staying to help them, you will only hinder them from escaping."

Wu Jialiang: “…”

This was a little embarrassing. Yue Wenxuan almost said directly: You are not good at martial arts and you are a drag.

Wu Jialiang had no choice but to clasp his fists and say nothing.

Soon, he brought along four old brothers, including Master Ye, Bruce Lee, and Luo Tuimao, as well as Yu Fanwen, the former second-in-command of the Laiyang bandits who had surrendered and the current head of Jimo. The eight of them all rode on fast horses and headed towards Jinan Prefecture overnight.

After watching them walk away, Yue Wenxuan turned around and ordered Gong Erniang and Qian Zhuoqun, "The Jin bandits will be arriving soon, and it's almost time to play the card of Wang Zhaoye. Organize a team immediately, all dressed in fine clothes and riding horses, surround Zhaoye, and go to the county town to meet Cui Weihua. Make a big noise, even beat drums and gongs along the way, and make a big fuss."

Madam Gong Er took the order and quickly made arrangements.

Soon, the rebel army had gathered a team of hundreds of people, wearing the best armor in the village, holding the best swords in the village, riding the best horses in the village... They looked like the hope of the whole village.

The plastic Zhao Zai also put on a clean prince's robe, combed his hair, and looked refreshed.

Although his setting is empty, he still has the qualities that a "Prince" should have.

Riding on a tall horse and accompanied by a team of soldiers in fine clothes and swift horses, he really looked like a decent person. Looking around on the tall horse, he had a royal majesty.

But Cai Xinzi gave him a slightly adjusted Kun Kun face, which looked okay to other people, but Yue Wenxuan wanted to sing "Chicken, you are so beautiful" every time he saw it.

This team came out of Dongmiaozi Village...

As soon as it was unveiled, it attracted the attention of a large number of people.

When passing through several nearby villages, the villagers couldn't help but gather around the team to watch.

The highest official the villagers had ever seen in those days was the county magistrate, and they had no chance to meet the prince. However, the "gold and green robe" that the prince wore was a luxury among luxuries for the common people in the countryside, so luxurious that it exceeded their imagination.

"Oh my god, that person looks so elegantly dressed."

"The clothes are embroidered with gold thread to form phoenixes and mythical beasts..."

"Look, there are sapphires and emeralds hanging on his clothes." "Is that the prince who's been rumored recently?"

"The prince is the prince, right?"

"Oh my, that's incredible! I heard he broke out from the Jin Kingdom and killed 10,000 Jin soldiers by himself."

"You heard wrong. It clearly said that they killed 100,000 Jin soldiers."

The common people are exaggerating more and more...

Many people began to run after the team, watching the excitement along the way.

This was the norm back then. If a wealthy family married off their daughter, a large group of villagers would chase the sedan chair, sometimes even for ten or twenty miles. The parade now was for a prince, but it wasn't the same level as a wealthy family's wedding. A wealthy family's wedding could happen several times a year, but a prince's parade was something you only saw once in your lifetime.

Villagers continued to join the crowd, and gradually, the number of troops escorting the prince was even less than the number of onlookers...

Jimo County!

Cui Weihua was busy handling government affairs when he suddenly heard his subordinate come to report: "County Master, something big has happened, something big has happened."

Cui Weihua: “?”

The subordinate said anxiously: "Here he comes, here he comes, that one is coming...the legendary prince is coming."

"Ah?" Cui Weihua had heard the rumors a long time ago, but since the foolish people in the countryside spread a lot of false gossip, he didn't take it seriously. Now that he heard that the prince had arrived, he was really shocked: "Where is he?"

The subordinate said, "It will take at most one stick of incense to reach the East Gate."

Cui Weihua quickly jumped up and ran out. After running two steps, he suddenly thought that if the prince was fake, it would be fine. But if he was real, it would be a typical rude act for him not to go out to greet him solemnly, and he would be punished afterwards.

When it comes to things like this in the officialdom, it is of course better to believe it than not to believe it.

Welcoming fake goods with great fanfare would at most be a joke and harmless.

But if you neglect the real thing, you'll be stabbing yourself in the back, with many negative consequences. If one day, you have the opportunity to meet the emperor, and the emperor asks, "When my prince brother came to your county, why were you so disrespectful? Did you look down on me?"

Then you can only jump into the sea to prove your loyalty.

Cui Weihua shouted quickly, "Quick, quick, call out everyone in the yamen. Get them all together, straighten their clothes, and go greet them."

For a while, the county government office was in chaos.

The chief clerk was the first to run out and take his position, followed by the various clerks.

Cui Weihua looked around but couldn't see Wu Jialiang. He couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Where's County Magistrate Wu?"

"do not know!"

"Early in the morning, he left the city with his people and never came back."

Cui Weihua: "Oh my! This County Magistrate Wu has absolutely no respect for discipline..."

After spraying, he didn't care whether Wu Jialiang would come or not, and ran towards the east gate.

A large group of his men followed him, and they came to the east gate, standing on the top of the city wall and waiting quietly.
