But it's not a big problem.

The third prince has grown up. As the second generation to take over the blame, he can start to train more from now on.

The emperor said, "Then call the third prince over."

The chief eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince also went with them."

emperor:?

The emperor paused and said, "Then go and summon the Minister of War."

The eunuch quickly said yes and ran out in small steps.

After a while, the eunuch came running back in a hurry, panting a little, "Your Majesty... The Minister of War also left the city."

The emperor's mouth twitched, and he ran to eat melon again.

He pinched his brows and said, "Just recruit a minister."

The chief eunuch hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the Minister of War..."

The chief eunuch named more than twenty names in a row, just like reading out the names of dishes. Finally, he said, "They all left the city together. Now, may I ask who else Your Majesty wants to summon?"

emperor:……

……

Shanshui City is neither far nor near, and can be reached in an hour and a half by carriage.

Yes, it should have been an hour and a half.

But now, an hour and a half had passed, and they were stuck on the road.

There were densely packed carriages everywhere, front, back, left and right.

The carriage in front was unable to move.

But on their left, on the road in the opposite direction, carriages were moving very slowly. From the deep marks left by the wheels on the ground, one could tell how heavy the cargo was.

The most outrageous.

Not only is there a traffic jam here, but there are people performing on both sides of the road.

On the left, several people were performing dragon and lion dances. From time to time, people on the carriage cheered and gave them some copper coins as tips.

On the right, an acrobatic troupe is performing on stilts and scattering flowers. Not only do they perform acrobatics themselves, they also arrange cats and dogs to stand on small bicycles, spinning in circles and scattering flowers, which also caused many people to cheer and applaud.

Except for the performance teams on the left and right.

There were also some men and women carrying shoulder poles, walking back and forth on the road between the carriages, shouting:

"Cooked pancakes! With meat and vegetarian options! Buy five and get one free!"

"Milk cake, authentic milk cake from the Western Regions! Buy one and get a bucket of boiled water for free."

"Tang Sa Zi, sweet Tang Sa Zi."

……

It's so busy here that it's overwhelming.

The courtiers in the carriage lifted the curtains one after another, poked their heads out, and couldn't help whispering:

"Is this really the road to Shanshui City? Are we going the wrong direction?"

"I remember there weren't many people here in the past."

"Why is it so noisy... I don't want any pancakes, sugar water, or candy..."

……

The prince looked at the vendor who came up to him again, frowned, turned his head and said to Yuan Ruan: "Xiao Jiu, there are too many people here, why don't I send you back first..."

"No." Yuan Ruan waved her hand and pointed behind her, "Besides, brother, look, there's a long queue behind us, and it's hard for the carriage to turn around."

The prince wanted to give him some more advice.

At this time, the third prince, who had gotten off the car to inquire about the news, lifted the door curtain and jumped up holding a candied haws.

He first handed the candied haws to Yuan Ruan, then said to the prince: "Brother, we are not on the wrong road, or rather..." A strange look flashed across the face of the third prince, "We have already entered the territory of Xiao Jiu, about one or two miles..."

The prince was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Has it entered the territory? No way."

We haven’t even crossed the stone arch bridge, so we must not have arrived yet.

The prince couldn't help but get off the carriage himself.
